Tao Yu immediately closed her mouth, and when strength returned to her feet and she was about to leave, she suddenly felt a coolness on her ear and turned in surprise, facing Yue Linze’s hand holding the gauze.
“No glass shards,” Yue Linze said coldly.
Tao Yu laughed awkwardly and no longer rushed to get up. She watched Yue Linze throw the blood-stained gauze in the trash, gather all the cotton balls, and pour alcohol on them like it cost nothing, forming a massive alcohol cotton ball.
…A bad feeling arose. Tao Yu tensed her body, secretly sliding her right foot outward while calmly reminding: “Mr. Yue, cotton balls should be used with tweezers. Holding them directly can introduce bacteria, and I probably don’t need such a large cotton ball.”
“Don’t move,” Yue Linze said expressionlessly.
Ha, how could she not move? As soon as Tao Yu’s foot touched the ground, she tried to get up, but Yue Linze discovered her plan first, restraining her waist with one hand and covering her ear with the cotton ball.
“Eek…” The wound was suddenly covered with alcohol, and Tao Yu involuntarily let out a sound before falling silent. When the stinging pain from the alcohol gradually subsided, she slightly relaxed her body and weakly protested, “This wound was from saving you. Can’t Mr. Yue be gentler?”
“Not necessary,” Yue Linze efficiently cleaned the blood from her ear and then unsympathetically pushed her away. “Put on the band-aid yourself.”
Tao Yu landed smoothly on the ground, momentarily speechless, unsure if he meant he didn’t need her rescue or didn’t need to be gentle.
She looked at Yue Linze’s stern face and sighed after a while: “I’m not trying to be a hero, but that cup was about to hit your face. If I blocked it, I wouldn’t be seriously hurt. If I let you get hit, Mr. Yue might be disfigured. I was just worried.”
Yue Linze listened to her calmly, his expression unchanged: “What’s that got to do with you?”
…A great question, you little brat. She smiled, took a band-aid, went to the bathroom to apply it in the mirror, and returned to see Yue Linze still in the same position she left him.
