Fortunately, she had bought a casserole when she bought the medicine today.

She placed the herbs in the casserole, added water, and boiled them on the fire.

Soon, a strong bitter medicinal smell wafted out.

Yu Niaoniao took out the new ointment and smiled proudly as if she was taking credit.

“Look, I bought medicine!”

Xiao Juan did not look at the ointment in her hand. His gaze remained on her forehead.

Her torehead was wrapped in gauze. Because she had fallen in the mountains, there were some muddy spots on the white gauze. Coupled with her dirty dress, she looked like a little beggar.

She was in such a sorry state, but she was still smiling, her eyes sparkling.

Xiao Juan felt his heart ache and soften.

“I’m sorry.”

If not for him, she would not have suffered so much, let alone fallen to this state.

Yu Niaoniao urged, “Don’t always be sorry. You didn’t do anything wrong. Why are you always apologizing? Take off your clothes. I’ll apply medicine for you.”

Xiao Juan did not move.

He was silent for a long time before telling the truth.

“I’m sorry. I actually left you just now.”

The smile on Yu Niaoniao’s face froze.

She looked at him blankly, her eyes puzzled and stunned.

“Why did you leave me? Did I do something wrong?”

The medicinal soup in the casserole was gurgling. Hot steam rose, and the bitter smell of medicine filled the tip of his nose.

The bitterness seemed to seep through his skin and into Xiao Juan’s heart. “You’re very good. I’m the one who dragged you down. As long as I leave you, you won’t have to hide anymore.”

“But I couldn’t bear to part with you. I hadn’t gone far when I came back.”

“Niaoniao, I’m sorry. I’m too selfish. Even though I knew it would harm you, I didn’t want to let go of you. A despicable fellow like me is not worth being so good to me.”

His voice faded, and even the light in his eyes dimmed.

He just sat there quietly, silent and weak, like a criminal waiting to be judged.

Whether he lived or died depended on what the person in front of him said.

Yu Niaoniao knew that Xiao Juan liked to think about nonsense, but she did not expect him to view their relationship like this.

She sighed softly.

“Ah Juan, did I never tell you that I like you?

Xiao Juan was stunned.

He had imagined many outcomes before confessing.

The only thing he did not expect was such an answer.

Yu Niaoniao placed her hands on his knees, raised her head, and leaned over to kiss him on the lips.

“If I didn’t tell you before, you should know now. Ah Juan, I like you. It’s the kind of love that would keep me with you for the rest of our lives.” “As long as I’m with you, I’ll feel at ease. You’re extremely important to me.”

“Now I have nothing. I only have you. If even you leave me, what do you want me to do?”

With that, she kissed him again.

Xiao Juan was already feverish and dizzy. He was even more confused by her kiss.

Unknowingly, his lapels were pulled open and Yu Niaoniap’s palms pressed against his chest.

He was wide awake in an instant and took her hand.

“Enough.”

He was happy because of her confession, but it was really not appropriate to do those things now and here.

Most of all, he was afraid she was acting on impulse now. He was afraid she would regret it in the future.

Yu Niaoniao blinked and said innocently, “I just want to help you take off your clothes so that I can help you apply medication.”

He let go of Niaoniao’s hand and whispered, “I can do it myself.”

Yu Niaoniao moved back a little and watched calmly as he undressed.

Her gaze was too heavy, making Xiao Juan feel inexplicably shy.

Although this was not the first time he had undressed in front of her, she had never stared at his body without blinking before. Especially since he still had the smell of her on his lips. It felt even more ambiguous.

Xiao Juan wanted her to stop looking, but he felt that this was too feminine and could only endure it.

Silently, he took off his shirt, revealing his gauze-wrapped upper body.

Yu Niaoniao leaned over and helped him remove the gauze on his body.

When the medicine was applied, she helped him wrap the gauze again.

Coincidentally, the medicine was ready.

Yu Niaoniao poured the medicine from the casserole into a bowl, cooled it a little, and handed it to him.

“Drink up.”

The medicine was very bitter, but Xiao Juan did not seem to be able to taste it. He drank half a bowl without changing his expression.

He handed the remaining half bowl of medicine to Niaoniao.

“You have a head injury. You have to take medicine too.”

Yu Niaoniao deliberately cheated. “Feed me.”

She reached out her fair finger and tapped Xiao Juan’s lips.

“You have to feed it with your mouth.”

Xiao Juan felt that Niaoniao was too enthusiastic this night. He was very afraid that he would do something to her if he could not control himself.

Although Niaoniao said that she liked him, he was still worried. Now that he had nothing, he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to give her the future she wanted.

If the two of them really consummated their marriage, she would not even have a chance to go back on her word in the future.

This concerned her lifelong happiness. Xiao Juan wanted her to think about it again and not be in a hurry to make a decision.

Xiao Juan forced himself to harden his heart and whispered, “Drink it yourself.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “If you don’t feed me, I won’t drink it. At most, my wound will fester and I’ll die of pain.”

Xiao Juan was speechless.

His heart, which had just hardened, softened again.

He poured medicine into his mouth, then bent his head and pressed his lips to hers.

Yu Niaoniao immediately wrapped her arms around his neck.

The bitter medicinal juice was diverted into her mouth.

After she swallowed the medicine, Xiao Juan wanted to let go of her, but she clung to him like an octopus.

Yu Niaoniao leaned over and kissed his chin.

“Do you like me?”

This was obvious. There was no need to lie. Xiao Juan replied gloomily, “Yes.” Yu Niaoniao smiled like a demon. “Don’t say yes. Do you like me or not?”

like….”

Yu Niaoniao kissed him again and coaxed, “Be clear. Who likes who?”

Xiao Juan said, “I…”

Yu Niaoniao looked at him expectantly.

Xiao Juan held it in for a long time before finally spitting out the words he had suppressed in his heart.

“I love you.”

He wasn’t talking about liking. He was talking about love.

Like was possession, but love was restraint. He would rather be hurt so that the other party to live well.

Yu Niaoniao could not help but kiss him again.

He had been so insecure because he could not be sure of their relationship. In that case, she would completely confirm their relationship as husband and wife.
