Chapter 37: What is the Secret?

  After hearing Shi Kong Yuluo say this, I slowly came back to myself. "I... I'm fine, you can put me down now."

  "I'll carry you!" he said, and carried me into the infirmary.

  "Ah! It hurts so much!" I let out a sharp cry as the iodine on the cotton swab stung me.

  "What's wrong? Is it painful? I'll be gentle." Hearing me cry out in pain, his movements suddenly slowed down.

  Who would have thought that an iceberg like him also has a gentle side?

  He raised his eyes and looked at me, "Crown Prince's Consort, why are you staring at me!"

  I shifted my gaze away from his face with a half-mask on it. "I wasn't looking at you."

  Dugu remained silent and continued to help me treat the wound on the corner of my mouth.

  I curiously gazed at him, wondering what it would be like if he took off that mask and revealed his complete face. Would he be even more handsome than he is now? With curiosity, I reached out to remove the half silver mask...

  "Your Highness, the Crown Prince's Consort!" Just as my hand was about to touch his mask, he suddenly stood up, and the iodine wine in his hand splashed all over me, turning me into a walking iodine soup!

  He hastily put down the iodine bottle in his hand, took a dry towel from the other side of the door and wiped it for me. "Your Highness, the Crown Prince's Consort, I was careless."

  "It's...it's nothing! Hehe..." I forced a stiff smile, how could it be nothing, the iodine had dyed my clothes a yellowish-brown color.

  "Crown Princess, I'll go prepare the bathroom and new school uniform for you. Please wait here!" He bowed his head to me, handed over my luggage, and then retreated with a bow.

  Is there still a bathroom in the college? However... I've never seen Dugu Xue being so flustered before, what is he hiding? Is there some unspeakable secret under that mask of his?
