Chapter 0010 It is late at night, time to rest
As he spoke, without realizing when it happened, Li Xuan's voice grew softer and more indistinct, and half an hour later, the room fell completely silent
However, she can only bandage with one hand at the moment, which naturally cannot be done. Seeing that she was unable to bandage, Li Xuan on the opposite side immediately spoke up: "If you don't mind, I can help you..."
From now on, I will call you Xiaoyun, as constantly addressing you as 'Miss' can easily lead to misunderstandings
Li Xuan was not quite accustomed to this atmosphere, so he took the initiative to speak again: "It is getting late, and we have all been busy for a day, so let's rest early"
After Li Xuan finished bandaging, he lightly said, "All done!" As he spoke, he took a step back, restoring the original distance of two steps between the two of them
At this moment, she heard Li Xuan say: "Are you alright? Does the wound hurt?"
I see that you are quite young, how old are you
... ...
Although the wound is shallow, it still needs to be bandaged!" Saying this, Li Xuan took out a handkerchief.
After counting to a few breaths, she suddenly closed her eyes and then extended her hand, the intention was already self-evident
Li Xuan said: "You're welcome!"
Li Xuan, who was sleeping on the ground with a blanket, naturally could not see Miss Dong, who was half-reclining on the bed. However, her voice was still clearly audible, even though it was very soft.
At this moment, Miss Dong opened her eyes. Instead of checking whether the wound on her hand was properly bandaged, she turned her gaze and, upon seeing Li Xuan standing two steps away, let out a noticeable sigh of relief
more than forty people
Li Xuan continued, "How many people are there in your family?"
After a moment, she was seen half-lying down and had fallen asleep, her breathing becoming calm again, but it seemed that she was dreaming of something in her sleep
Li Xuan did not speak either, but continued to carefully bandage her under the dim light in the room. Since he had been standing a bit far away before, he took a step forward.
Three siblings, along with an older brother and a younger sister
Li Xuan spoke aimlessly, while Dong Yunyun would occasionally respond with a word or two, but most of the time she remained silent, leaving Li Xuan to talk on his own.
She did not respond, but Li Xuan continued to speak to himself
Seeing him asleep, Dong Yunyun let out a gentle sigh of relief, and then lay back down. At that moment, the waves of drowsiness that she had been suppressing for a long time surged over her. She struggled to open her eyes to keep herself alert, but her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.
The cherry-red lips are adorned with a subtle blush, presenting a unique beauty under the orange-yellow light
Oh, how many siblings do you have
In any case, there will be misunderstandings
Miss Dong remained silent; she did not understand why there was a misunderstanding
At this moment, Miss Dong has already closed her eyes and did not notice his approach; otherwise, it is uncertain whether she would have once again been startled into a quick retreat.
... ...
I have a brother who is quite nice; I used to want a brother or sister like that!
Is your father a high-ranking official? What rank does he hold?
At first, there was a smile on the face, but after a long while, it was replaced by furrowed brows and even a look of terror, as if having dreamt of something very frightening
As soon as this feeling subsided, a slight stinging sensation was felt emanating from the palm of my hand. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the skin on my left palm had been scraped, and small droplets of blood were slowly seeping out
As he approached, Li Xuan bandaged her while carefully observing the woman up close for the first time
The woman's face is a typical oval shape, with a delicate complexion that is pure and flawless, almost without any blemishes, resembling mutton-fat jade, making one unable to resist the urge to gently caress it
He is merely talking to himself
Lying down, Li Xuan naturally could not fall asleep immediately; instead, he lay with his eyes open, gazing at the beams of the room. After a while, he turned slightly and said, "By the way, I still don't know your name"
Perhaps it was because Miss Dong saw Li Xuan rise, yet he did not make any move to pounce like a beast, that she was able to slightly calm her emotions
It had been a long time since Dong Yunyun had heard Li Xuan's voice. She slightly turned her body and then turned her head to look at Li Xuan, who was laying on the ground. She saw that he had closed his eyes and was breathing steadily, clearly already asleep
Our family, along with my second uncle's family, and then there are the servants, altogether it amounts to about this many people
Once these words were spoken, silence fell again in the room, and the atmosphere became awkward once more
At this moment, Miss Dong became even more hesitant
Li Xuan did not care whether she responded or not; he merely spoke casually. As for whether she would respond and what the answer would be, he was indifferent.
The second generation of officials is quite good
Li Xuan, who was sitting opposite her, did not worry too much upon hearing her words. Although the light in the room was dim, he could still see that her palm was only slightly scraped, and while the wound appeared quite alarming with a considerable amount of blood, it seemed to be merely a superficial abrasion, with no serious harm done
... ...
They are all pitiful individuals who have fallen into this den of bandits, unable to take control of their own destinies
As I drew closer, I could still hear her breathing, though it was somewhat rapid. Beneath the hurried breaths, it seemed as if I could sense her heart beating quickly.
Thank you! Miss Dong lowered her head again, looking at her hand which had already been bandaged, and softly uttered this phrase
... ...
What misunderstanding
Dong Yunyun
Miss Dong hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the handkerchief that Li Xuan handed over, then wiped the bloodstains from her hands and intended to wrap it up again
Just now, when Li Xuan approached to bandage her, he could feel her rapid breathing. Miss Dong could naturally hear Li Xuan's breathing as well. She knew that Li Xuan had come closer, and if he had looked closely at her ears at that moment, he would have noticed that the tips of her ears had turned bright red.
She is afraid
Upon witnessing this scene, Li Xuan could not help but let out a sigh; this woman, like himself, was also a pitiable person
The face involuntarily revealed a trace of pain.
Upon hearing this, Miss Dong let out a slight sigh of relief, yet her body remained unmoved. It was not until she saw Li Xuan pick up the bedding from the floor and lie down on it without changing his clothes that she gracefully moved her steps and walked to the edge of the bed to sit down
With so many people at home, will it be very noisy and chaotic
No way, how can there be so many
... ...
In the quiet room, at this moment, only the sound of two people's breathing remains, and the light of the oil lamp is growing dimmer. At a certain moment, the oil lamp is completely extinguished, plunging the room into darkness
She did not lie down, but rather leaned halfway against the headboard, and the bright red wedding dress she wore was still not taken off
At that moment, she lightly shook her head and said, "I am fine!"
Oh, this name is quite nice, it has a certain poetic quality
As he spoke, he once again saw her displaying a look of panic, so he promptly continued, "You sleep on the bed, and I will sleep on the floor"
She did not respond to Li Xuan immediately, but instead continued to attempt to bandage herself. However, after several unsuccessful attempts, she looked up at Li Xuan after a while, her face displaying a mix of pain and hesitation.
