Chapter 54: Ointment

  He sat down on the edge of the bed, pulled my legs over his own, opened a sachet and squeezed out some white stuff to gently rub onto my ankle.

  "Ah...... it hurts so much!" Although he moved with utmost gentleness, I still felt a lot of pain.

  "Can't you bear this little pain? Hmm?" He raised his head to look at me, and under the dim yellow light, his face was shrouded in a yellow mist that softened his facial expression, adding an ambiguous beauty that made him appear unreal and not as annoying.

  His face is bewildering me, making me feel like I've been anesthetized, and the pain in my legs suddenly disappears. Looking at him, I couldn't help but exclaim, "Oh God! How could you create such a charming person? I'm so impressed by your creativity!"

  "What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Or..." He smiled with a hint of teasing, "Or are you just mesmerized by looking at me?"

  "Who... who's staring at you with such fascination? I'm just... just..." Damn it, his face was so enchanting that I really couldn't find the words to refute him.

  "What's that?" He suddenly leaned in close to my face, so close I could count the number of eyelashes he had, and the faint scent of his cologne also flowed into my nostrils.

  "Nothing... nothing at all!" I hastily turned my head away, not daring to look at him. My heart was racing like it had been stimulated by something, pounding non-stop. Why was my heart beating so fast? Ah, yes, it must have been because of his devilishly handsome face that had captivated me - it had to be that.
