282. Chapter 282 Heartache 2

"Shall I help you?" Shangguan Yun said to me, smiling with narrowed eyes.

I ignored him, headed straight for the bathroom, closed the door, took off my clothes, and only then realized my knee was all bruised, some spots even swollen—no wonder it hurt so much. Later I definitely couldn't let Shangguan Yun know, otherwise he'd feel heartache again.

Although I liked the way he looked at me with heartache in his eyes, I couldn't bear to let him feel heartache—it's a contradictory feeling.

After washing up, I just put on my pajamas and had no plans to go out tonight; although I hadn't eaten dinner yet, I had eaten something when I came back earlier and was quite full.

When I came out, Shangguan Yun was lying on the sofa looking very content; I walked over to him, he saw me approach, quickly sat up, grabbed my hand and had me sit beside him, then buried his head against my body, sniffing my scent and saying, "You smell nice."

I smiled silently without speaking; after a while Shangguan Yun left, looked at me and said, "Come, put your foot up here so I can take a look—there must be many bruised spots." Shangguan Yun said while holding the medicated oil.

"It's fine, I checked while taking a shower earlier—nothing serious, really fine." I said, brushing it off. I really didn't want Shangguan Yun to see, didn't want to see his heartbroken gaze; the hurt was on me, the pain in his heart.

"You're being disobedient again, let me look—it's fine." Shangguan Yun frowned, without waiting for my consent he rolled up my pant leg and placed my foot on his, furrowed his brows and said, "You say it's nothing, but it's swollen—must hurt a lot." After saying that, he lifted his head and gazed at me with a heartbroken look.

"It's nothing, it hurt a bit at first but not much now; I used to often bruise myself from falls, I'm used to it." Hehe… I said, giving Shangguan Yun a silly laugh, while Shangguan Yun had already lowered his head and gently applied the medicated oil to me; after finishing, he looked up and said, "After applying this oil you need to rub it in firmly—I'll help you rub it, though it will hurt a bit, so just bear with it."
