1788 It’s Okay, There Is No Need To Feel Nervous
Hexin struggled with the decision but in the end, relented.

If he had not pushed her to the ground, it was scary to imagine where the arrow might have hit her.

This was just helping him take off his belt. What was so difficult about it?

No one was here to see anything, anyway.

At this thought, she reached her hand out to remove his belt and even carefully helped him take off his clothes piece by piece and place them somewhere relatively clean.

It was until she was done removing his last piece of clothing that she took her handkerchief and crouched next to the stream to wash off the blood from it. After squeezing it dry, she crouched back next to him and carefully wiped away the blood on his arm.

“Lucky for you that you’re no longer bleeding, but the wound looks deep.” Hexin looked at his wound and said as she frowned. A thought crossed her mind and she lifted her eyes to look at him. When she saw how calm he looked, as if he did not feel any pain, she could not help asking, “Doesn’t it hurt?” It occurred to her that he did not make a sound since getting wounded.

He’an used to make a big fuss over a small wound and it had always caused the entire family to go into a frenzy.

Long Yin had bled so much and there was a hole in his arm where the arrow had pierced. He should be feeling a lot of pain from it.

“It’s just a minor wound. It’s nothing.” Long Yin turned to look at her as a smile twinkled in his dark eyes.

Hexin’s eyelashes fluttered as she avoided his gaze. She turned to look at the direction they came in. “Why isn’t Qi Heng here with the medicine yet?”

“He should be here soon,” Long Yin said nonchalantly.

Hexin was feeling a little anxious as she quietly berated Qi Heng for taking too long.

“Aren’t your feet feeling sore from bustling around for so long?” When Long Yin saw her still crouching where she was, he suddenly reached out his unharmed hand and pulled her to sit by his side.

Hexin did not expect him to suddenly pull her to him.

When he did, she fell sitting next to him and because of the sudden pull, her head knocked into his back.

She went into a daze when she realized that her nose brushed against his naked back.

When she realized what happened, she quickly sat up straight and did not dare to look anywhere else.

However, she could still see the man’s fair, muscular back from the corner of her eyes, as well as his good-looking, slender waistline…

Her face turned even redder when she saw this. Her eyes closed slightly as she felt a little shy.
Long Yin was also taken aback.

Long Yin tilted his head slightly and he lost himself at the sight of the girl’s blushing cheeks and fluttering eyelashes.

Hexin gave him a quick glance and lowered her head again.

It was fine before when he said nothing, but when he uttered those words, she felt even more nervous… And she felt even more embarrassed.

After all, this was the first time she had seen a man’s naked back. She did not notice it when she was helping him clean up the blood, but now that she had calmed down, her heart beat wildly and uncontrollably.

This was especially when both of them were sitting so close together. The fresh, clean scent of him filled her nostrils and she suddenly felt a little dizzy while her face blushed a deeper scarlet.

“What’s wrong with you?” Long Yin could not help reaching out to touch her cheeks when he saw how red they were turning. The heat felt on the tip of his fingers stunned him. “Are you coming down with a fever?” He was about to check her pulse when she suddenly snapped out of it and pushed his hand away. “I’m fine.”

With that, she suddenly stood up and crouched by the stream. She scooped up some water to splash on her face to cool herself down and stop herself from having any wild imaginations.
