Chapter 1412: What Reward Is There For Me

Qin Yiyan let out a long breath and remarked, "Actually, your technique is already considered gentle. The nursing staff your brother found is truly ruthless; every time they work on it, it feels like the wound is about to split open."

Liu Xin'ai knew that Liu Qingze had found the nursing staff.

However, she had not asked about it.

Hearing Qin Yiyan's words now, she tilted her head slightly: "Does it really hurt that much?"

"Yes, but the pain doesn't last long, because their movements are truly fast."

After hearing Qin Yiyan's words, Liu Xin'ai fell into deep thought.

She was very clear about Qin Yiyan's condition; it was just a dressing change, it shouldn't be that painful.

Unless... someone was deliberately targeting him.

As for who it might be...

She raised her eyes to look at Qin Yiyan and asked, "Why didn't you tell me about this situation?"

"Because I was afraid of causing you trouble."

Why was it this sentence again!

It seemed that every time Qin Yiyan said this, trouble would immediately follow!

Liu Xin'ai felt a bit irritated.

She was also a little worried that Liu Qingze wanted to teach Qin Yiyan a lesson and had deliberately let the nursing staff make things difficult for him.

This was a critical period for Qin Yiyan's recovery; if she let Liu Qingze's nonsense go unchecked...

Then the outcome could easily spiral out of control.

Liu Xin'ai became increasingly irritated.

After hesitating for a moment, she simply made a decision: "Forget it, I'll handle your wound dressing from now on. That way, if Mom asks, I'll have an answer."

To prevent Qin Yiyan from overthinking, Liu Xin'ai even dragged Chi Rong out to use as an excuse.

Qin Yiyan, however, was not interested in the excuse.

He only knew that he had once again secured an opportunity to be with Liu Xin'ai!

Qin Yiyan was very happy, and the look in his eyes as he watched Liu Xin'ai was full of tenderness.

He even said, "No matter what, thank you."

As his voice fell, Qin Yiyan took a small object out of his pocket and handed it over: "This is for you."

In Qin Yiyan's hand was a small transparent box, and inside, there was a tiny touch of green.

Liu Xin'ai stared at it for a while, then looked up to confirm: "A four-leaf clover?"

"Yes, I picked it up in the park. I heard that four-leaf clovers can bring good luck."

Liu Xin'ai found it unbelievable.

She thought to herself, when did Qin Yiyan... start believing in such childish things?

Or did he think she was such a childish person?

Liu Xin'ai raised her eyebrows slightly and reminded him with a hint of disdain: "Even children don't believe in this stuff anymore."

"It's better to believe; what if it actually brings good luck?"

As Qin Yiyan spoke, he placed the box into Liu Xin'ai's palm.

Looking at the four-leaf clover, Liu Xin'ai suddenly remembered the words of his attending Doctor...

Taking a soft breath, Liu Xin'ai said, "If there really is good luck, then it should be used on you."

After saying this, she placed the four-leaf clover beside Qin Yiyan's hand and, while she was at it, took another look at his leg.

The potential sequelae there had always been a heavy stone in her heart.

Unfortunately, even now, there was still no definitive conclusion.

Liu Xin'ai's gaze caught Qin Yiyan's attention.

He also looked down.

And then...

In a place where Liu Xin'ai could not see, he quietly pursed his lips.

He also had an idea in his heart.

The next day—

Early in the morning, Qin Yiyan used the excuse that his legs had no strength to have a servant bring him a wheelchair.

With the wheelchair, Qin Yiyan's mobility was indeed more convenient.

But it terrified Liu Xin'ai, who hadn't left the house yet!

She stood anxiously by Qin Yiyan's side and asked, "Are you... feeling unwell somewhere?"

Qin Yiyan rubbed the area around his knees with his hand and muttered, "My legs suddenly have no strength. I could still walk two steps by holding onto things before, but now when I stand up, I feel like I'm going to fall. Sigh, I'm really so useless!"

Qin Yiyan was wallowing in self-pity.

But Liu Xin'ai's expression turned serious.

She reached out to knead the area and asked, "What does it feel like here?"

"Hmm... it feels bloated, and a bit numb."

Qin Yiyan's answer made Liu Xin'ai frown involuntarily.

Seeing her serious expression, Qin Yiyan asked uneasily, "What kind of ailment do I have?"

"It's nothing, you just walked too much and tired yourself out. Get some more rest."

After Liu Xin'ai finished speaking, she told the servant to take good care of him.

She then turned around and left immediately.

Watching Liu Xin'ai's unhesitating back, Qin Yiyan sighed softly.

He thought, can this not make her stay?

Qin Yiyan thought Liu Xin'ai had gone to the Laboratory.

But in reality, she hadn't; Liu Xin'ai had gone to a traditional Chinese medicine shop and brought back a pile of traditional Chinese medicine.

Among them were things to apply, things to drink, things to fumigate with, and things to soak in.

And all of them were directed at Qin Yiyan's body.

At the beginning, Qin Yiyan was very happy.

After all, Liu Xin'ai was caring for him!

But gradually...

He couldn't laugh anymore, because these medicines were truly bitter!!

The current Qin Yiyan truly had bitterness he couldn't speak of!

Yet Liu Xin'ai still felt it wasn't enough; she stared at Qin Yiyan's legs and said, "Or, we could try Acupuncture."

Acupuncture!?

Qin Yiyan pursed his lips, then tentatively asked, "Isn't it just being tired, why are you acting like we're facing a great enemy?"

Liu Xin'ai's expression didn't change as she replied, "The problem you have here is neither big nor small, but if we solve it in time, we can avoid big trouble later, so you must cooperate obediently, got it?"

At this moment, Liu Xin'ai looked very much like a bewitching enchantress.

Qin Yiyan just stared straight at her, willingly being seduced by her.

He even nodded and said, "Got it, I have already been cooperating very well."

Regarding this point, Liu Xin'ai acknowledged it.

She herself knew how bitter those medicines were, and how much effort Qin Yiyan had put in to avoid showing a hideous expression while drinking them.

Since he had performed so well...

Liu Xin'ai raised her hand and patted his head, even praising him: "You performed very well."

This action made both of them freeze.

The next instant, Liu Xin'ai immediately withdrew her hand, feeling annoyed at herself—was she crazy to have... done such an abrupt thing!?

But since the matter had already happened, just being annoyed was useless.

Liu Xin'ai needed to think of a way to make the situation less awkward.

Pursing her lips and thinking for a moment, Liu Xin'ai feigned calmness and spoke: "I am like this with patients who perform well; don't overthink it."

Don't overthink it?

That was impossible!

Qin Yiyan curled his lips slightly, his voice low and deep: "Then, for patients who perform well, is there any reward?"

"What reward do you want?"

"It's just..."

Qin Yiyan suddenly leaned over, raised his hand to cup the back of Liu Xin'ai's head, and kissed her!

His movement was very sudden.

And within the gentleness, there was also a sense of dominance!

Liu Xin'ai was completely stunned!

Her mind was also a blank slate!

Logically speaking, she should be very repulsed by this kind of intimate contact.

After all, they had many unpleasant memories before.

But...

Liu Xin'ai also remembered the water-like gentleness of this man when she had amnesia.

These two completely different feelings left Liu Xin'ai very confused.

She didn't know which one was the real Qin Yiyan.

Jiang Baobao looked at the man in front of her, her heart sinking to the bottom of the valley.
