Qin Si Ye's body stiffened slightly. He pretended to casually turn off the screen and replied with a calm expression, "It's Gu Lin. He told me something interesting just now."
Shen Xi watched him, half-believing, and then asked abruptly, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"You haven't answered my question yet," Qin Si Ye said, looking at her in a perfectly respectable set of pajamas, with the mask still on her face. A faint smile touched the corner of his lips.
Shen Xi sat on the sofa, her eyes flickering. "You've been waiting here for so long just to get an answer?"
It had been about half an hour since she went into the washroom and came out.
"I didn't feel like it took a long time," Qin Si Ye said with a dismissive smile. "You know how important that is to me."
Shen Xi sat up straight and looked at him seriously. "Qin Si Ye, if we calculate it your way, ten 'thank yous' can be achieved very quickly, with no difficulty at all. Then what's the point of our agreement?"
If this was added, it would be five 'thank yous'.
If this man appeared by her side frequently, it would be easy for him to stumble upon a lucky break. He would probably achieve his goal within a week.
She was still in a mess, and hadn't even started taking action.
"This is no small matter. Think about it, if I hadn't gone up to help you at that time, and you had suddenly fallen asleep in the elevator and been abducted by a criminal, the consequences would have been unimaginable," Qin Si Ye insisted, exaggerating the incident.
In fact, he did have some concerns. Shen Xi had been sleeping so soundly then. Fortunately, it was him standing next to her. If it had been someone else, or even Su Chengyu, he dared not think about the consequences.
Shen Xi, however, smiled dismissively. "Don't exaggerate so much. That's a hospital, with surveillance everywhere. Who would be so bold as to abduct someone there?"
However, if she had really fallen asleep in the elevator, even if she wasn't abducted by a bad person, she might have suffocated from lack of oxygen. She felt a bit scared thinking about it.
"But I think this matter is very serious, and my actions are definitely worth a 'thank you'. If you don't give it, then I won't leave tonight," Qin Si Ye said, his expression suddenly darkening when he saw he couldn't convince her. He started acting spoiled.
This man always did what he said he would. If he really decided to stay, Shen Xi would truly be helpless against him.
"Fine, fine, fine. I'll give you one 'thank you', alright? Hurry up and go." Shen Xi glared at him helplessly. Such a big man, why was he like a child?
But after hearing her words, Qin Si Ye just raised his eyebrows, smiled with satisfaction, and didn't get up.
Shen Xi couldn't help but ask, "Do you need something else?"
"Mhm," Qin Si Ye raised his hand and touched his forehead. "I feel a bit itchy here. Why don't you help me change my dressing?"
In reality, it wasn't itchy at all. Shen Xi had already re-treated his wound when they returned to the hospital in the afternoon.
The reason he said this was simply to spend more time with her.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi immediately stood up nervously, picked up the medicine box, and began to clean his wound again.
"The wound is a bit red and swollen. Remember, after you go back, absolutely do not let it touch water," Shen Xi said, her voice gentle and soft as she looked down and carefully disinfected it.
At this moment, the two were very close. Qin Si Ye could clearly smell the fresh and intoxicating fragrance emanating from her.
Even though she was wearing a conservative set of pajamas, the fair and tender skin of her neck was vaguely visible with her movements, rippling through Qin Si Ye's heart.
His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice became hoarse. "But I can't not wash my hair when I shower."
The implication was that washing his hair would inevitably touch the wound.
"Then don't wash your hair. Go to a hair salon tomorrow and have someone wash it for you," Shen Xi paused slightly, looking at him with a hint of anger in her eyes.
This man was really something. Was healing the wound more important, or washing his hair?
But as she looked down, she met his gaze, which was full of affectionate longing.
Shen Xi immediately realized something was wrong. She quickly withdrew, covering his wound with a large bandage.
"All done. You can go back now."
As she bent down to put away the medical supplies, Qin Si Ye suddenly grabbed her wrist, looking at her with pitiful helplessness.
"You wash it for me. I sweated a lot today, and if I don't wash it, I won't be able to sleep."
