Chapter 34: Tamed (2)
But Cheng Rui couldn’t let Bai Qingqing hide in her own world at this moment because he needed her help.
Bai Qingqing’s hand was suddenly grabbed and the warmth of his fingers almost burned her.
“What are you doing?”
Her tone sounded anxious, just like a little hedgehog who erected its spikes.
“Help me.” Cheng Rui said in a low voice.
There were many wounds on his back, waist, and thighs. If these wounds were not treated in time, there would be terrible consequences.
Bai Qingqing was nervous: “What can I do?”
“Clean the wound.”
Cheng Rui heated the water with his ability and threw the towel in.
When she heard his answer, Bai Qingqing opened her eyes and peeked at him. She saw Cheng Rui twisting the towel with difficulty and the blood slowly dripping from his honey-colored skin with some kind of lethal attraction.
This was enough to wake her up.
She needed him to protect her until they reached the base. She really couldn’t let him die here.
“Let me.” Bai Qingqing took the hot towel from the man’s hand and wiped his body carefully, all sense of shyness forgotten. She meticulously worked around the wounds to get rid of the dust, sweat, and blood.
Cheng Rui stared at the girl and vivid images came to his mind. He withdrew his haze and stared at the mirror instead.
There was only a faint flashlight in the room and the outside was almost dark. He looked at her reflection, deep in his thoughts.
Shen Mingxuan’s words and Fu Chen’s attitude towards Bai Qingqing were tumbling in his mind. If she ever recovered her memory, would she ever forgive him for what he had done to her before?
Girls were most afraid of being wronged and if anyone treated them badly, they would always remember it in their hearts.
And retribution was never happy.
Cheng Rui couldn’t help but wish she would never remember and would stay just like that, so he could take her with him. By that time, even if she remembered, he would never let her go.
Bai Qingqing’s face was a little red. This was the first time she came into contact with such a powerful and model-like male figure, and she was wiping him rather intimately. The study body that made women scream was now in her hands.
Cheng Rui was so strong. As she wiped his powerful arms, she couldn’t help but think she could always sit on them or on his shoulders when she got tired. He could bring her places and she wouldn’t have to move.
When she was finally done washing him, Bai Qingqing felt she was also sweating and exhaled.
She dared to look at the man’s eyes and whispered: “It’s done.”
Cheng Rui looked at her flushed cheeks and said: “Can you sew the wound?”
His injury was ugly and he was afraid she would be scared. But the girl bit her lower lip and replied: “Yes, leave it to me.”
Liang Zhiyu was a good teacher. He had taught her how to deal with wounds and all kinds of medicines and techniques very carefully. She was also a good student who liked to learn.
She squatted in front of Cheng Rui and disinfected his thighs with alcohol. Cheng Rui looked down at her and breathed through the pain, his Adam’s apple rolling up and down and his whole body warming and tensing up.
Bai Qingqing quickly handled the wounds on his legs and waist until she moved to his back. The scar on his back was particularly shocking but Cheng Rui squatted down in front of her, like a giant wolf surrendering to her, willing to be tamed obediently.
Bai Qingqing cleaned the last wounds smoothly. Her delicate face had a serious expression and her slender fingers quickly disinfected and bandaged. When she finally completed the task, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
Cheng Rui looked up at her.
“Qingqing.”
“Yes?” Bai Qingqing looked at him back with clear eyes.
Cheng Rui reached out and held her hand. Still squatting down, he said in a deep voice: “Although now is not the time, when we reach the Yaoyang base, would you stay with me?”
Don’t go with Fu Chen. Stay with him at the base.
Bai Qingqing did not expect Cheng Rui would be the first man to actually propose her and she couldn’t help but be a little surprised when she heard him.
She obviously couldn’t stay with him, more men were waiting to be seduced.
But she also couldn’t refuse him immediately.
Bai Qingqing pretended to be embarrassed. She picked up the fresh clothes and handed them to Cheng Rui: “Get dressed first.”
Cheng Rui didn’t take them and kept looking at her with scorching eyes. He squeezed her hands tightly and added: “I know this is abrupt but I am serious.”
He took a pause before he continued: “Qingqing, I have no father and no mother. I only have one stepbrother but our relationship is quite good. If you are willing to stay by my side, I will use my life to protect you.”
Bai Qingqing felt foreign emotions in her heart.
“Cheng Rui, I…” She bit her lips, “Let’s wait until we find my brother, okay?”
Cheng Rui’s eyes flashed with disappointment but he put on the clothes as he whispered: “I will ask for Captain Fu’s consent.”
Bai Qingqing followed him out of the bathroom, holding his arm like his personal clutch.
“Cheng Rui, you are a really good man.”
Cheng Rui suddenly turned around. He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. His hot breath fell on her ear and his tone sounded passionate in the darkness.
“Qingqing, I’m sorry.” He apologized for all the harm he had caused her in the past.
Bai Qingqing felt the situation was becoming a little dangerous and tried to push him away. Lacking strength, she said nervously: “Cheng Rui, let go of me first.”
