    Chapter Index

    I don’t know if it was Li Xin’s illusion, but she seemed to see relief and joy in Mandy’s leaving figure.

    she sighed again.

    Fortunately, Mandy had prepared everything before she left. Li Xin found the medicine and clean cloth where the dinner plates used to be.

    She rubbed her face and picked up the tray resignedly.

    After dinner time, the men and maids coming and going in the castle seemed to disappear in an instant.

    The only sound of her footsteps on the empty and long staircase was the sound of shoe soles rubbing against the carpet, leather and knitted fabrics.

    She came to Janus’ door, knocked, waited, and then entered.

    Janus didn’t seem surprised to see her, but instead showed a soft and harmless smile:

    “Did you rest well?”

    He looks like a good master.

    Li Xin nodded respectfully and did not mention the fact that she couldn’t sleep at all:

    “I am very conscious now, Master.”

    Janus laughed:

    “Then I hope you can use more force when applying the medicine. Mrs. Mandy’s hands are quite strong.”

    he winked mischievously, like a kind and kind brother next door.

    Li Xin relaxed a little, smiled shyly, and came behind he with the tray.

    Janus was very accustomed to the process of applying medicine, so almost at the same moment when Li Xin came to him, he slowly unbuttoned his pajamas.

    Before Li Xin could react, a patch of bright red snow-white appeared in front of him.

    His skin is snow-white. His back is a little thin. The shape of his shoulder blades can be seen on his back. His waist is slender, only about three-quarters of Bird’s.

    And the bright red ones are also the ferocious, snarling scars on that flawless skin, as if countless small thorns have punctured He’s skin, they are densely packed and frightening.

    Li Xin shook his eyes and did not act immediately.

    Janus’s low and hoarse voice came from the front:

    “It’s scary…but it’s healed now. We just need to make the scars fade a little.”

    Those bumpy red tender flesh seemed to be indicting the seriousness of the injury.

    Li Xin pursed her lips, lowered her head to pick up the medicine bottle, pulled out the cork, and poured some tan medicine on the cloth.

    The potion is not smoky, on the contrary, it has a faint fragrance, like roses.

    Li Xin suddenly realized that this was probably the source of the fragrance on Janus.

    It was her first time applying medicine, so she was very careful.

    “Can I take the liberty to ask, how did you get injured?”

    The silence while applying the medicine was embarrassing, so Li Xin decided to find a topic to satisfy her curiosity.

    Janus tilted his head slightly, his thick eyelashes trembling slightly:

    “It was an accident.”

    He was not willing to say more, and Li Xin would not ask further questions.

    Suddenly it started to rain again outside the window, and the roar of thunder and lightning interrupted the conversation between the two, causing a sudden silence between them.

    Li Xin muttered while looking at the lightning and thunder outside the glass window:

    “It’s raining again.”

    Janus heard the girl’s complaint and couldn’t help but curl his lips:

    “Are you afraid of rainstorms? Cindy.”

    At this time, Li Xin had already applied the potion evenly, wiped her right hand clean, and pressed it on Janus’s cold skin.

    The moment their skin touched, the warmth in her palm made Janus couldn’t help but sigh.

    Li Xin didn’t realize it yet, so she answered he obediently:

    “No, I just find thunder and lightning unsettling. Do you like rainy days?”

    she asked rhetorically.

    Gen: Next chapter… would you like some broth?・ω・`)
