Chapter 1477: Can't Do Anything About Him

Jiang Chenghao smiled and shook hands with him, then asked, "Are you just passing through here?"

"Not exactly, Xu Xiaoxiao she... mph!"

Before Wang Sinian could finish explaining, he felt a sharp pain on the top of his foot.

It turned out that Xu Xiaoxiao had stomped on it hard, warning him to shut up!

After making sure Wang Sinian wouldn't spout nonsense, Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and explained, "I'm not very close with him. It's because of a request from Elder Wang that I'm taking him around to experience the local customs here."

Elder Wang?

Jiang Chenghao thought of something and asked, "He and Elder Wang..."

"Grandfather and grandson."

Upon hearing this, the look in Jiang Chenghao's eyes as he watched Wang Sinian became a bit more solemn.

He then said, "Elder Wang once saved a very close relative of mine; I must certainly treat his descendant well."

Wang Sinian had his foot stepped on and felt resentful inside.

Hearing Jiang Chenghao's words now, he couldn't help but grumble, "The only thing you have here to treat me with... is this blinding sunlight."

It was only then that Jiang Chenghao remembered Wang Sinian had been standing out in the sun the whole time.

He immediately took the initiative to hand a hat over to Wang Sinian.

But Wang Sinian didn't take it; instead, he curled his lip and said, "Someone told me that a real man shouldn't be afraid of getting a tan."

The "someone" he pointed out closed her eyes, thinking to herself why she had brought him here—it was such a huge hassle!

But those words were indeed spoken by Xu Xiaoxiao, so even if she was impatient, to prevent Wang Sinian from making a scene, she had to turn around and explain.

Yet, just as she turned, she noticed... Wang Sinian had started scratching his face.

And he was doing it with increasing force; his skin had already turned red.

Xu Xiaoxiao frowned: "Hey, take it easy!"

"I can't, it's too itchy."

Wang Sinian was scratching very hard,

and in some places, there were even bloody marks.

How was this not quite right?

Xu Xiaoxiao took a closer look and concluded: "Are you allergic to UV rays?"

"Yeah."

"Then why didn't you say so earlier!"

Wang Sinian gave Xu Xiaoxiao a resentful look and began to grumble: "You were only focused on chatting with your friend; even if I had said something, you wouldn't have cared."

"You..."

Jiang Chenghao stopped the two from bickering and pointed to a small pavilion not far away, saying, "Let's go over there to avoid the sun first."

As he spoke, Jiang Chenghao led the way.

He escorted the two to the small pavilion and then left for a moment.

Xu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and questioned Wang Sinian, who was sitting there: "You did that on purpose to set me up, didn't you!?"

Wang Sinian still wore an innocent expression: "Who set you up? I'm the one who got sunburned!"

"Then if you had said you were allergic to UV rays earlier, would I have ignored you!"

"What difference would it have made to say it later?"

"Of course it would have..."

Xu Xiaoxiao didn't finish her sentence and closed her lips.

It seemed she didn't want to continue explaining either.

But Wang Sinian saw through something, raised an eyebrow, and realized: "Oh, you're worried that gentleman might have a bad impression of you, right?"

Having her thoughts exposed, Xu Xiaoxiao felt extremely irritable!

Worried about what Wang Sinian might say to Jiang Chenghao, she warned him: "Don't talk nonsense later, otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?"

"I'll go complain to your grandfather!"

This warning made Wang Sinian show a look of disdain.

He said, "I'd actually prefer it if my grandfather were dissatisfied with my performance."

"Since that's the case, why did you listen to your grandfather and come out with me?"

Wang Sinian opened his mouth to answer.

But after thinking for a moment, he revealed a

hint of a playful smile: "Are you trying to fish for information?"

Xu Xiaoxiao did not deny it.

She looked straight into Wang Sinian's eyes and lowered her voice: "Let me remind you: loose lips sink ships!"

Xu Xiaoxiao said those last four words through gritted teeth.

At the same time, she put on a very fierce look.

But in Wang Sinian's eyes...

He only felt that she was bluffing.

As the two locked eyes, Xu Xiaoxiao heard footsteps coming from behind.

Instantly, Xu Xiaoxiao suppressed the anger in her heart.

Then she turned around as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Chenghao walked over with a bottle and handed it to Wang Sinian.

Xu Xiaoxiao was curious and asked, "This is..."

"It's an ointment that can soothe sunburn. It's very effective. You should help Mr. Wang apply it first."

What, let her apply it?!

Xu Xiaoxiao was shocked, and at the same time, she was one hundred percent unwilling in her heart!

She even turned her head to the side and said with an implied warning, "Mr. Wang can do this little thing himself; there's no need for me to step in, right!?"

Wang Sinian sensed Xu Xiaoxiao's warning.

Yet he still didn't take it to heart; instead, he put on a very uncomfortable look and said, "Sigh, I don't want to make you help either, but I don't know where my face is red and swollen, so I have no choice but to..."

"Can't you look in a mirror?"

"Does it look like there's a mirror here? Or do you have one in your bag?"

A bag?

Xu Xiaoxiao hadn't brought a bag out with her at all!

Whenever she thought about going out with Wang Sinian, she would simplify things as much as possible.

But who could have thought that simplifying things would lead to trouble!

Facing Wang Sinian's provocative gaze, Xu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.

Then she grabbed the ointment and handed it to Jiang Chenghao: "You do it!"

Jiang Chenghao slowly raised his eyes and pointed at himself with his finger:

"Me?"

"Yeah, you two are both men, there's nothing to be awkward about!"

This...

It's precisely because they are both men that it's easy to be awkward!

But thinking about how Wang Sinian got sunburned in his orchard...

Jiang Chenghao could only endure the discomfort and agree.

But even though he agreed, Wang Sinian didn't!

He turned his head away and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Jiang, but I don't just use any ointment; yours isn't suitable for me."

"Not suitable? Then tell me a brand, and I'll go to the pharmacy..."

Jiang Chenghao looked around and fell silent.

The surroundings were extremely desolate; where would there be a pharmacy?

Then, what should be done about Wang Sinian's face?

Jiang Chenghao was a bit at a loss.

Seeing this scene, Xu Xiaoxiao felt a sense of pity.

Of course, her pity was all because of Jiang Chenghao.

As for Wang Sinian...

Xu Xiaoxiao closed her eyes.

The next second, she took the ointment and began to apply it to Wang Sinian's face regardless of anything else.

"Ouch, slow down, it hurts!"

Wang Sinian cried out in pain, but a triumphant smile flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Xu Xiaoxiao understood his triumph, which made her so angry!

Yet... she couldn't do anything about him.

She could only speed up the movements of her hands.

And her rough movements made even Jiang Chenghao feel a bit of pain.

Finally, Jiang Chenghao couldn't watch anymore and reminded her, "Um, Xiao Xiao, be a little gentler."

"It's fine, this way the medicinal effect can penetrate!"

"But didn't Mr. Wang say... this isn't suitable for him?"

"What's not suitable about it? As long as the medicinal effect is right, listen to me on this!"

While speaking, Xu Xiaoxiao had already roughly finished applying the medicine for Wang Sinian.

Seeing out of the corner of her eye that Wang Sinian had opened his lips,

she immediately warned, "Don't speak!"
