Chapter 280: Li Beijue, I Won't Allow You to Get Hurt

"Jue!"

Wilson's shout came from behind the two of them, and he led a group of people rushing over, braving the strong wind in their direction.

"Look, I told you they would come."

Li Beijue's expression relaxed slightly in an instant, and he patted Jiang Baobao's hand gently to soothe her.

Jiang Baobao, however, could not care about anything else. Seeing Wilson run up to them, she immediately asked anxiously, "He is injured. Is there anything on the boat to treat wounds?"

"Injured?"

Wilson was taken aback upon hearing this, and only then did he notice the wound on Li Beijue's arm.

"Oh my God! How did this happen? There is no medicine on the boat to treat wounds! We must get back to the castle immediately!"

As Wilson spoke, he had someone take out two huge raincoats and draped them over Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao respectively.

The group then set off toward the seaside.

Upon arriving at the seaside, Jiang Baobao saw that Wilson had indeed brought a larger boat. The few of them boarded in a line, and without a moment's delay, they quickly sailed back in the direction of the castle.

It had clearly taken less than half an hour to get there, but the return trip took almost twice as long.

The group had just walked through the castle gates when they heard a boom outside!

Pea-sized raindrops also instantly began to pelt down from the sky with a pitter-patter.

Jiang Baobao stared blankly out the window at the gloomy sky that seemed ready to collapse, feeling incredibly fortunate in her heart.

It was a good thing they had returned; if they had remained on that Island... the consequences would have been unthinkable!

Li Beijue's wound would definitely have become infected!

Right, his wound!

Jiang Baobao suddenly snapped back to reality and hurriedly grabbed Li Beijue's hand, wanting to check the condition of the wound.

"I'm really fine..."

Li Beijue spoke subconsciously, but halfway through his sentence, seeing Jiang Baobao glaring at him expressionlessly, he had no choice but to shut his mouth.

"The edges of the wound are already slightly white. Your hand needs to be treated immediately; it can't be left like this anymore!"

Jiang Baobao checked it quickly, her face full of undisguised worry.

Just as she finished speaking, the castle's butler hurried over carrying a medical kit.

"Mr. Li, please have a seat on the sofa..."

The butler made a gesture of invitation, seemingly intending to apply medicine for Li Beijue.

The next second, however, the medical kit in his hand was taken by Jiang Baobao.

"I'll do it."

Jiang Baobao's expression was serious, and as she spoke, she grabbed Li Beijue's wrist and pressed him down onto the sofa!

In the living room, Wilson and Anna stood to one side, exchanging a look without a sound, watching Li Beijue and Jiang Baobao on the sofa with smiles in their eyes.

Even Li Beijue was somewhat surprised, but he obediently remained still, watching as Jiang Baobao quickly opened the medical kit and took out the disinfectant.

Jiang Baobao was completely unaware that she had become the focus of everyone's attention; she just carefully dipped a cotton swab into some disinfectant and gently placed Li Beijue's arm on her own lap.

"I'm going to disinfect it for you first. It might hurt a little, so please bear with it..."

Jiang Baobao said in a low voice, tentatively touching Li Beijue's wound lightly.

Li Beijue did indeed frown subconsciously, but he didn't make a sound. Instead, he teased, "I'm not a child, why would I be afraid of pain?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao immediately rolled her eyes at him in annoyance and continued with her work.

In her heart, she couldn't help but grumble: I don't know who it is that's just like a child, having to hold onto something to be able to fall asleep!

Now he says he isn't a child...

As she thought this, she asked with concern, "Anna, can injections be given inside the castle? I'm afraid his wound needs a tetanus shot. If it's been over twenty-four hours, I'm worried..."

"Don't worry, dear, the castle has every kind of medicine. You don't need to worry about that!"

Anna sat down beside Jiang Baobao and patted her hand soothingly.

Then, seeing that her clothes were also soaking wet, she hurriedly said, "Dear, you will catch a cold like this. You don't need to worry about Jue's wound; let me take you back to change your clothes first..."

"I..."

Jiang Baobao's movements paused. She looked at Li Beijue with some hesitation, then looked down at the wound on his arm.

"Go ahead, I'm fine."

Li Beijue's heart stirred slightly. He suddenly couldn't help but reach out and gently rub the top of Jiang Baobao's head, a gentle smile appearing at the corners of his lips.

The air suddenly went quiet for a moment.

Feeling the warmth of his palm, Jiang Baobao suddenly stiffened all over. She stood up from the sofa abruptly and followed Anna toward the stairs without a word, her heart rate suddenly skipping a beat.

The two of them returned to the room, and the rain outside was still falling incessantly.

"Dear, you two were really lucky today. If Wilson had gone even a little bit later, I'm afraid you both would have been trapped on that Island. Spending a night there is not a pleasant experience..."

Anna looked at the downpour outside the window, her tone filled with lingering fear, as she quickly found a dry dress for Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao also nodded with lingering fear. Thinking about today's events, she felt somewhat helpless.

She had originally wanted to bring back some gifts for the little ones at home, but she hadn't expected...

Jiang Baobao shook her head helplessly in her heart. She took the clothes and turned to go back to her room. Only when she intended to change out of her clothes did she realize just how wretchedly wet they were.

Even her hair was slowly dripping water.

Jiang Baobao turned and entered the bathroom, intending to tidy herself up properly.

Her hand had just touched her long hair when she suddenly thought of the moment Li Beijue had gently touched her just now.

Jiang Baobao's fingertips moved slightly, and she suddenly thought of something.

Back then... it seems it was like this too, right?

After being rescued by the police, she had thought Li Beijue was wearing a straight face because he had come to thank her, but she hadn't expected that he would gently pat her head, just like he did a moment ago...

She had been completely stunned at the time!

In the end, she didn't even have time to say a single word before she saw him already surrounded by the family members who had rushed over...

It was from that moment on, perhaps, that she started to like him even more?

Jiang Baobao could not help but recall the past, a faint smile appearing on her face.

It wasn't until a sudden clap of thunder rang out outside the window that she snapped back to reality.

Why was she thinking about those things from the past again?

Things are quite good as they are now; at least... the two of them can still be friends.

Downstairs—

Li Beijue had finished treating his wound and received an injection, and he kept staring toward the upstairs with a thoughtful look, as if pondering something.

"Stop looking; your gaze is about to bore a hole through my stairs."

Wilson could not help but tease him with a smile as he sat down beside Li Beijue.

He then asked gossiping, "How is it? Have you two made any progress? Aside from the terrible wind today, did anything sweet happen on the island?"

"Sweet?"

Hearing this, Li Beijue could not help but shake his head in amusement.

He glanced at the direction of the stairs again before rarely teasing himself, "Regrettably, I'm afraid I have no use for that word for the time being."
