Mu Sheng was instantly wary. She swiftly smelled the faint scent of medicine. “Li Hanchen?”
The lights turned on with a click. Mu Sheng raised her head to see a gorgeous young man before her. He had a sharp nose and his lovely eyes were slightly narrowed with his face as cold as ice.
“Get up,” said Li Hanchen with a frown as he looked imperceptibly pale.
“Okay.” Mu Sheng finally realized that she was still in Li Hanchen’s arms. She stood up calmly and straightened her garments. “Sorry.”
!!
Mu Sheng walked over and got herself a drink. Her calves were so fair and fine that they glowed under her nightdress.
Li Hanchen was incapable of appreciating this with every meridian in his body in excruciating pain like they were on fire. It felt as though every part of his body was being stabbed repeatedly with needles.
Despite the agony, Li Hanchen did not show it on his face at all. Even though it was winter, a fine layer of sweat had gathered on his forehead.
Mu Sheng walked past Li Hanchen after having a drink. She glanced at him before she continued walking.
Mu Sheng halted after two steps when she saw the $250 warmer bag on the table.
Never mind. She would do it to return the kid’s favor.
Mu Sheng turned to walk up in front of Li Hanchen. “Give me your hand.”
Li Hanchen raised his head to look at Mu Sheng with his deep eyes. After looking at her quizzically for a moment, he reached his hand out.
Mu Sheng placed her fingers on Li Hanchen’s wrist. The more she examined his pulse, the more she looked at him in shock.
The man seemed to have gotten badly poisoned before. Also, his bones had gotten severely broken previously in most parts of his body. Other than his skin which was holding everything together, he was terribly weak inside.
He was physically completely drained.
Even at this moment, Li Hanchen was probably suffering from excruciating pain, but he did not show it the slightest.
Mu Sheng could not help feeling impressed by his high pain tolerance.
Li Hanchen frowned as a wave of pain surged through him. “If you have no other business, go to bed.”
Instead, Mu Sheng unexpectedly took off Li Hanchen’s jacket. Before he could wrap his mind around it, Mu Sheng had already pressed his major acupuncture points and ma.s.saged him a few times along his meridians.
Li Hanchen surprisingly sensed the pain diminished a lot. He could even sense slight warmth radiating from his thoroughly depleted meridians.
He finally took a close look at Mu Sheng.
Mu Sheng was concentrating on ma.s.saging his waist with her eyes down. Her eyelashes looked like tiny fans as they cast a shadow on her face.
She was slim, graceful, and had a smooth flawless complexion.
Since Mu Sheng tended to get engrossed while she was working, she failed to detect him looking at her.
Li Hanchen kept his eyes on her while she ma.s.saged him.
Mu Sheng’s arms felt sore and finally stopped about 30 minutes later.
The pain had diminished a lot and was insignificant in comparison to what Li Hanchen had endured in the past.
“Okay. I will write you a prescription tomorrow. Just take the medicine for a few days and it will help with the pain.” Mu Sheng yawned. She turned to walk away now that it was her bedtime.
Li Hanchen watched as Mu Sheng went upstairs. He pushed against the couch and stood up gradually. To his surprise, the pain had not only diminished but he could sense some warmth coursing through his body after feeling icy cold for years.
Li Hanchen frowned. He looked upstairs quizzically before heading to his bedroom.
The soft glow of the moon quietly scattered on their little villa as they slumbered.
