Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

”Ah. Hiss—”

Qin Xin took a deep breath.

It really did hurt a bit.

This alcohol swab is of such good quality, the concentration must be professional medical grade, just like the alcohol swabs in the little first aid kit she prepared for Mr. Nalan, that’s why it hurts so much ah ah ah.

The man gently dabbed the alcohol swab, his Adam’s apple moved with resignation: ”Didn’t expect you to be so sensitive to pain, I thought you were...”

Usually so cool, so tough, he thought she was really an invincible wonder woman.

Qin Xin: ”Thought what?”

The man paused for a moment, then calmly said: ”When it scabs over tomorrow, go soak in the cave hot spring in the backyard, it will help your blood circulation.”

He noticed that her ankle and calf were a bit swollen, she must have been too exhausted from her recent travels.

Qin Xin was stunned for a moment: ”Master, do we really have a hot spring in our courtyard? How come I didn’t know?”

She had at least stayed here for a short time during winter break.

Back then, why did Master never mention inviting her to soak in the hot spring?

Tsk tsk, Master sure has a lot of little secrets kept from her.

The man replied softly: ”The things you want to know, you’ll gradually find out. Go to bed early, don’t overthink.”

He was a bit reluctant to let go of her slender ankle.

However, the medicine was applied, and the band-aid was already on, he had no more reason to hold on.

After tidying up her pant cuffs, he helped her off the bed.

Qin Xin couldn’t help but tease him: ”Master, men and women shouldn’t touch each other like this, today you’ve broken the rules several times, isn’t there a bit of guilt?”

The man’s arm stiffened.

But in the next second, he tightened his hold around her small waist, saying he was supporting her, yet he was practically hugging her as they walked.

He had finally waited for her to come back, how could he bear to let go?

Although seeing her true self shocked him deeply and he couldn’t make sense of it, as long as it was her, he absolutely wouldn’t let go.

Seeing the man not replying, Qin Xin teased him again: ”Master, you just wanted to chase me away, now do you finally see the benefits of keeping me around? Do you feel your skills, your knowledge, all have a use again? Having someone to talk to, keep you company, you don’t really want me to leave, do you?”

The man’s Adam’s apple rolled.

He finally spoke faintly: ”I heard there’s a way to make someone shut up.”

Qin Xin asked naively: ”What way?”

The man’s gaze swept over her lips: ”To block her mouth.”

Qin Xin: ”...”

Oh my, her normally aloof and reserved Master, why is he so powerful tonight, pulling out all the stops?

Can’t take it.

Can’t take it.

Her small face flushed red, no longer daring to tease the man.

The man carried her to the side room, tested the temperature of the bedding, fortunately, she had an electric blanket, and the covers were warm.

After settling her in bed, he turned off the lights and gently closed the door for her: ”Have a good rest. In the morning... don’t get up to make breakfast.”

Qin Xin: ”...”

Got it, got it, no need to crush my enthusiasm for cooking, I’ve already come to terms with the fact that I’m a little disaster in the kitchen, and no matter what, I can’t improve.

Master Tuantuan is more talkative than usual today.

No longer avoiding skin contact with her.

He’s become so chatty and verbose.

Master Tuantuan really has changed a bit.

Qin Xin pondered, her act of coming back, such camaraderie, did it really have such a huge impact on Master Tuantuan?

＝＝

Back with the man, Qin Xin didn’t expect that she’d have the soundest, most comfortable sleep she’d had in days.

When she got up, her breakfast was already placed by the bedside, covered with an insulated cloche.

Ahhh, the feeling of being taken care of, it really is quite nice.
