You beast! Let go of my sister!

"Stop... you two, that's enough."

"Get out of here before I get angry."

Li Wei looked at them with a look of disgust.

"Understood, a world for two, right!"

Xiao Wang laughed and put his hands down.

"Then we won't bother you anymore. Call us if you need anything."

The two turned and left.

The hospital room door closed.

Qin Xue looked at Li Wei with a smile.

"They're quite interesting."

"You're really good to them."

Li Wei smiled.

"They helped me, so of course I should thank them."

Qin Xue bit her lip.

She knew he was referring to the surveillance footage used to find her.

"Li Wei..."

Her voice was very soft.

"Thank you."

Li Wei walked up to her.

"Thank me for what?"

Qin Xue raised her head, looking into his eyes.

"Thank you for caring about me so much."

Li Wei reached out and pinched her cheek.

"Silly girl."

He paused.

"If you don't listen in the future, I'll spank you."

Qin Xue's face turned bright red instantly.

"You... what did you say?"

Li Wei laughed.

"Didn't you hear me?"

Qin Xue lowered her head, not daring to look at him.

Her heart beat even faster.

Inside the hospital room, the lighting was soft.

Li Wei opened the packed lunch boxes, and the aroma of food instantly filled the room.

"Hungry, right? Eat up."

Qin Xue looked at the two meat dishes and one vegetable dish on the table; although conditions were limited, she felt warm inside.

She picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin, but held it to Li Wei's lips.

"You eat first."

Li Wei was stunned for a moment, then looked into her sparkling eyes and opened his mouth to eat it.

The sweet and sour flavor melted on his taste buds.

Seeing him eat, Qin Xue happily picked up a piece for herself and began to eat it in small bites.

Neither of them spoke, but a warm atmosphere flowed quietly through the hospital room.

While eating, Qin Xue noticed that Li Wei's right hand moved unnaturally when he picked up the greens.

She put down her chopsticks and took the initiative to pick up a mouthful of greens.

"Open your mouth."

Li Wei smiled and obediently opened his mouth.

Qin Xue carefully fed the greens into his mouth, as if she were taking care of a child.

Her fingertips accidentally touched Li Wei's lips. The warm, soft sensation made her cheeks heat up, and she quickly pulled her hand back.

The meal was finished in this ambiguous back-and-forth feeding.

Li Wei tidied up the lunch boxes and glanced at Qin Xue's mother, Lin Wanqiu, on the hospital bed.

"Qin Xue."

"Hmm?"

"How about I perform acupuncture on your mother now?"

Qin Xue was startled by his words and immediately shook her head.

"No, it's too late today."

Her tone was very firm.

"Besides, you have a shoulder injury; you can't move around too much."

Li Wei moved his shoulder, and indeed, a tearing pain shot through it.

After the "tussle" with Murong Wan at Rose Manor this afternoon, his already unhealed injury was now even worse.

However, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

At this moment, Qin Xue rummaged through her shopping bag and took out a small bottle.

"This is some medicated wine for bruises I just bought at the supermarket pharmacy."

She unscrewed the cap, and a strong, pungent medicinal smell spread out.

"Take off your clothes; I'll help you apply the medicine."

Li Wei looked at her serious expression, and his heart fluttered.

He didn't hesitate and immediately took off his polo shirt.

His sturdy pectoral muscles, well-defined eight-pack abs, and perfect V-line were instantly exposed to the air.

Qin Xue's breath hitched, her cheeks quickly flushed a deep crimson, and she didn't know where to look.

"Turn around."

Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum.

Li Wei obediently turned around.

When she saw the wounds on his back and shoulders, Qin Xue gasped.

The wounds, which had originally been only slightly red and swollen, had now turned a shocking purple-red, with large patches of blood clots spreading under the skin, looking terrifying.

"How... how did it get this bad?"

Qin Xue's voice was choked with sobs. She reached out a finger, wanting to touch it but not daring to.

"I accidentally aggravated it this afternoon," Li Wei explained casually.

Qin Xue's eyes reddened, her heart filled with heartache.

She poured some medicated wine into her palm, rubbed it until warm, and gently pressed it onto Li Wei's wound.

"Hiss..."

Li Wei gasped.

"Does it hurt a lot?"

Qin Xue quickly lightened her touch.

"I... I'll be lighter."

"It's fine, keep going."

Qin Xue's hands were very soft, with a hint of coolness. Every time she kneaded, it felt like an electric current shot through Li Wei's body.

The burning sensation of the medicated wine and the gentleness of her fingertips intertwined, making Li Wei feel as if a fire was burning inside his body.

Time passed minute by minute.

Qin Xue was half-kneeling on the floor, with half her body leaning over Li Wei's back in an awkward position.

"All done."

She finally finished applying the medicine and let out a long sigh of relief.

Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, her leg went numb, and she instantly lost her balance.

"Ah!"

Qin Xue exclaimed, and her whole body uncontrollably lunged toward Li Wei's back.

Li Wei reacted extremely quickly, immediately turning around and pulling her into his arms.

Her soft, delicate body crashed into his solid chest.

Their eyes met.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment.

Qin Xue could clearly feel the scorching temperature of his body and his powerful heartbeat.

Her face was so red it could bleed.

Li Wei looked down at the person in his arms; those watery, large eyes and those slightly pouted red lips, like ripe cherries, exuded a fatal temptation.

He could no longer control himself and leaned down to kiss her.

"Mmm..."

Qin Xue's mind went blank.

She could feel his lips were very hot, carrying a hint of the spicy scent of the medicated wine, domineering yet gentle as they pried open her teeth.

She responded clumsily, her hands unconsciously wrapping around his neck.

The kiss deepened, and deepened.

The temperature in the hospital room rose sharply.

Li Wei's hands began to become restless, moving slowly upward along the curves of her waist.

Just as the two were lost in passion, about to break the final taboo,

"Ring, ring, ring..."

A harsh cell phone ringtone suddenly shattered the ambiguous silence.

Qin Xue shuddered and suddenly snapped back to reality.

She hurriedly pushed Li Wei away and picked up the phone on the side.

Two words were flashing on the screen: Xiao Bing.

Qin Xue's face turned even redder; she scrambled to press the answer button, her voice weak.

"Hello... Xiao Bing..."

On the other end of the phone came Qin Bing's cold and angry voice.

"Put that beast Li Wei on the phone!"

Qin Xue was stunned. "What? How do you know..."

"I said, put that beast Li Wei on the phone!"

Qin Bing interrupted directly, her voice suddenly rising, filled with rage.

"Don't think I don't know what he's doing! Make him get out of the hospital room!"

Li Wei was right next to her and heard it clearly; his brows furrowed.

He took the phone, his voice sinking.

"Qin Bing, what do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean?"

Qin Bing sneered.

"Li Wei, do you dare not admit what you've done? Do you want me to play the recording of that just now for you to hear?"

Li Wei's pupils constricted.

A recording?

"Are you trying to deny it?"

Qin Bing's voice was like quenched ice.

"I heard it clearly on the listening device! What else do you have to say for yourself!"

A listening device!
