Chapter 418 The instinct to love you

Back in the room, the softness lingering around Lu Yuting suddenly dissipated, replaced by a cold chill like a thousand-year-old glacier.

He pressed Ning Yuxi's shoulders onto the sofa, "Sit here and don't move."

Ning Yuxi noticed the change in his mood, and looked at his back as he suddenly turned away, a trace of doubt rising in her eyes.

Why is this man angry again?

Raising her hand to pinch the painful center of her eyebrows, she supported her chin with her right hand and tapped her face lightly with her fingers, feeling distressed.

Just as she was thinking about how to make Lu Yuting happy, she saw him pushing open the door and walking in, holding a small box in his hand.

Not paying much attention to the box in his hand, Ning Yuxi said to herself:

"Lu Yuting, are you angry? Don't you think you've been angry frequently recently? Did something happen at work? Or... is your health failing and making you very irritable? Otherwise, we go to the hospital...

"

"Roll up your sleeves." A cold voice interrupted her.

"ah?"

Before Ning Yuxi could react to his words, the sleeve of her left arm had been gently rolled up by the man squatting in front of her.

She subconsciously shrank her arm, but the man suddenly held her wrist tightly.

"No need to hide it, I already know about your injury."

Ning Yuxi lowered her head to look into his dark eyes, pursed her lips, and stopped evading, letting him pull up her sleeves.

"When...did you know that?"

Lu Yuting avoided answering her question. He took out some ointment with a cotton swab and gently applied it on her swollen black and purple area. Looking at the serious wound in front of him, he slowly narrowed his eyes.

"You didn't notify me when you were in danger, and you wanted to hide it from me when you were injured. Ning Yuxi, have you become more capable recently, huh?"

A low voice fell into Ning Yuxi's ears, and every word was filled with displeasure and gnashing of teeth.

Ning Yuxi stretched out her right hand and gently touched the back of his hand, "I'm sorry, I just don't want you to worry..."

Lu Yuting's hand that applied medicine to her paused, and he raised his eyelids and looked at her, his dark eyes filled with deep displeasure.

"Ning Yuxi, the moment you decided to hide it from me, you deprived me of my right to worry about you. Likewise, from now on, I will also deprive you of your right to worry about me."

Ning Yuxi immediately lowered her face, "I don't agree!"

As soon as she thought about how she knew nothing about his injury, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by a hand, making her breathless.

Lu Yuting lowered his head and continued to help her apply the medicine, and lightly opened his lips, "It's already too late."

Ning Yuxi's expression paused, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, with a hint of flattery.

"It's not too late. Don't you already know about my injury? Aren't you worried about me now? So I haven't deprived you of your right to worry about me. Likewise, you can't deprive me of my right to worry about you."

Lu Yuting raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and his hand holding the cotton swab suddenly became stronger.

"Have you learned how to cheat? Huh?"

"Hiss... it hurts..." Ning Yuxi's facial features were twisted together in pain, and there was a trace of coquettishness in her clear voice unconsciously.

"Do you know it hurts now? Why didn't you cry out that it hurt when I was beaten in the afternoon?"

Lu Yuting's tone was full of reproach, but he couldn't help but move his hands lightly. The trace of worry in his eyes did not escape Ning Yuxi's eyes.

Ning Yuxi smiled softly, stretched out her hand and gently rubbed his cold jaw.

"If I had told you at that time, would you have kept the lives of those people? Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner. They were just following orders. I don't want you to implicate innocent people."

"Grandpa is right. I spoiled you rotten. Now you have learned to find excuses."

Lu Yuting stood up slowly, glanced at her meaningfully, and gently threw the cotton swab in his hand in a perfect arc, landing it accurately in the trash can. Then he raised his feet and walked toward the door.

.

"Lu Yuting——" Seeing that he seemed to be leaving, Ning Yuxi panicked and hurriedly caught up to him and grabbed his arm.

"I'm not looking for reasons. In that situation, my first reaction is to worry you. It's an instinct." It's the instinct to love you.

Lu Yuting held her hand and gently rubbed her smooth and tender skin with his fingertips, as if to soothe her uneasy emotions.

"I'm not leaving. I forgot to get you an ice pack. Go get it now."

For a moment, Ning Yuxi didn't know whether to be angry or laughing. She threw away the man's hand, poked the man's waist hard, turned around and sat back on the sofa.

Lu Yuting looked back at her, his lips curled up slightly, and then he walked out of the room and went downstairs to get an ice pack.

A few minutes later, Lu Yuting returned to the room with an ice pack and went straight into the bathroom to get a towel before sitting next to the woman.

"Come to me."

Ning Yuxi didn't hesitate, took off her slippers, put her legs on the sofa, and leaned in the man's arms.

Lu Yuting hugged her from behind, holding an ice pack with one hand and gently applying the ice pack wrapped in a towel to her wound. The other hand held her left hand and wrapped it tightly in the palm of his hand to dissipate the cold temperature.

.

A subtle movement made Ning Yuxi feel warm in her heart. She raised her head and looked at Lu Yuting.

"Lu Yuting, the topic we just talked about is not over yet. Are you really going to deprive me of my right to worry about you?"

Lu Yuting lowered his eyes, "Are you so concerned about this matter?"

"Yes, I do care. If you hide it from me in the future, but I find out about your injury from another woman, I can't guarantee that I won't have random thoughts."

Women's emotions are more delicate than men's, which is why girls tend to have random thoughts.

Although she could judge everything calmly when encountering problems, she didn't know if she could still calmly handle herself when she heard the news that he was injured.

Ning Yuxi thought for a while and continued, "But it would be best if you would never get hurt in this life."

Lu Yuting's heart trembled slightly, and he lowered his head and kissed her hair.

"No, I won't hide it from you."

Even though it would make her worry, telling her proactively would eliminate most of her worries rather than hearing about his injuries from others, which would make her think and worry.

"But..." Lu Yuting suddenly changed the subject, "Isn't it time to settle other accounts now?"

Ning Yuxi looked confused, "What account?"

"Who just said I can't do it? Huh?"

Ning Yuxi's eyes suddenly widened.

It seemed like she just said something that she shouldn't have said.

"I didn't mean that, I meant...ah——"

Before she finished speaking, Ning Yuxi was suddenly picked up by Lu Yuting and strode into the bathroom. The next second, flirting sounds could be heard in the bathroom.

Happy 520, have you eaten dog food today?

I originally wanted to take advantage of this holiday to write a short sweet plot, but ended up stuck on the "flirting sound". I swear I didn't mean it.

But I prefer the smaller and more careful care in this chapter, which makes my heart sour and sweet.
