Chapter 173: In the provincial capital, many people are dissatisfied with you_1

"Come on."

Yin Tian, with a gentle smile on his face, sat beside Xia Nianbing’s hospital bed, his fingers continuously stirring the sticky substance in the bowl he was holding.

"Are you ready?"

Yin Tian looked at Xia Nianbing in front of him, his mouth slightly curving upward, "Applying the medicine means you’ll need to take off your clothes."

Xia Nianbing’s cheeks turned a slight shade of red. She shyly glanced behind Yin Tian, where Zhao Wanlin was watching eagerly.

Immediately understanding, Yin Tian turned his head toward Zhao Wanlin, "You should go out first. I’m going to apply the medicine to my fiancée, and it’s a bit inconvenient for you to be here."

Zhao Wanlin was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

His face reddened, and without speaking, he stepped out of the ward.

Soon, only Yin Tian and Xia Nianbing were left in the ward.

"Then... I’m starting now."

Yin Tian spoke softly.

Xia Nianbing slowly closed her eyes, uttering a faint sound of agreement.

Yin Tian, with a smile on his face, extended his hand and slowly began to undo Xia Nianbing’s hospital gown.

In fact, although Xia Nianbing had survived a car accident, it was her face that was most severely injured.

As for her body, it wasn’t too severely hurt; only the exposed skin had been burned. The areas covered by clothes weren’t greatly affected.

As her clothes were undone, Xia Nianbing’s action of closing her eyes became more pronounced.

Watching Xia Nianbing’s adorable behavior, Yin Tian simply dipped his hand into the bowl to apply the sticky substance onto her body.

Xia Nianbing’s delicate body trembled slightly.

She could only feel Yin Tian’s fingers gliding across her skin, leaving behind an icy cool and extremely comforting sensation wherever they touched.

Soon, Yin Tian had applied the Rejuvenation Ointment to all of Xia Nianbing’s burned areas.

"Now it’s time for your face."

Yin Tian spoke softly, advising Xia Nianbing, "After applying it, you might feel a bit of a stinging sensation. Try to bear with it."

"Mhm..."

Xia Nianbing responded nervously.

She had a lot of confidence in Yin Tian.

But she had seen the state of her own face and knew how badly it was injured.

Despite Yin Tian’s confident promises, she still didn’t believe her face could be restored to its former state.

Seeing Xia Nianbing’s nervousness, Yin Tian didn’t say a word, and simply began to apply the ointment onto her face.

At first, it was still that cold sensation, but soon, Xia Nianbing began to feel the stinging that Yin Tian mentioned.

It felt as though numerous small insects were crawling on her face, a sensation both itchy and painful, making her want to scratch it unintentionally.

But as soon as she lifted her hand, Yin Tian caught it, "Don’t move around, it will pass in a bit."

Xia Nianbing grabbed Yin Tian’s hand tightly in response, as if by doing so she could share some of her pain.

A few minutes went by, and the sensation finally began to subside, and Xia Nianbing at last released Yin Tian’s hand.

Glancing at his reddened hand, Yin Tian helped Xia Nianbing sit up from the hospital bed, "Next we need to bandage you."

"Okay."

Xia Nianbing nodded, showing no resistance.

Seeing this, Yin Tian picked up a roll of bandage and began to wrap it around the areas where he had applied the ointment.

Soon, Xia Nianbing was wrapped up like a mummy by Yin Tian.

"Yin Tian... does this look strange..."

Xia Nianbing lay flat on the bed, feeling uncomfortable no matter how she positioned herself.

Yin Tian barely suppressed a smile, "Don’t worry, the bandages can be removed in a few days."

Xia Nianbing, hearing the laughter in Yin Tian’s words, felt both embarrassed and annoyed, "What are you laughing at! Is it that funny?"

Yin Tian quickly straightened his face, "It’s nothing. Rest well. Just think of this experience... as if it were a nightmare."

He stood up and walked toward the exit of the ward.

Zhao Wanlin, who had been waiting outside for a long time, immediately turned his attention to Yin Tian, "Master Yin, is the Rejuvenation Ointment really effective?"

"It’s effective."

Yin Tian nodded, "I was once badly burned, and my master used this Rejuvenation Ointment to treat me, and no scars were left."

Zhao Wanlin immediately looked at the bowl in Yin Tian’s hands.

In the bowl, there was still nearly half of the Rejuvenation Ointment that hadn’t been used by Yin Tian.

Noticing Zhao Wanlin’s gaze, how could Yin Tian not understand what was on Zhao Wanlin’s mind?

He stretched out his hand and directly passed the bowl in his hands to Zhao Wanlin, "This amount, if used sparingly, can last a long time. Take it."

"Really?"

Zhao Wanlin looked at Yin Tian with immense surprise.

This was a medicinal ointment that had been lost for nearly two hundred years.

The primary ingredient, Wanyan Flower, was exceedingly rare.

Yet Yin Tian was so readily giving away this ointment to him!

"Could I lie about it?"

Yin Tian smiled lightly, not saying much more.

Zhao Wanlin held the bowl as if it were a treasure and then suddenly thought of something, turning to Yin Tian, "Master Yin, just now, a friend told me that in the provincial city, there seems to be quite a few people who are discontented with you."

Yin Tian was taken aback, looking at Zhao Wanlin with confusion.

How did Zhao Wanlin come to know of this news?
