After her dramatic cousin stopped acting up, the aloof doctor got anxious.

It's not on the face, but on the neck.

The neck is a woman's second face.

How will she wear low-cut clothes in the future?

How could you talk to Qi Wenshen...?

She almost burst into tears on the spot.

Shen Ruo felt like her world had truly collapsed.

She's only been in the book for a few days?

Before her good days with Qi Wenshen could even officially begin, fate dealt her this blow.

What incredible luck!

Qi Wenshen squeezed her hand, "It's okay, timely medication won't leave a scar."

Shen Ruo thought, "He's a doctor, so his words should carry authority, right?"

She saw him leaving in the mirror. "Where are you going?"

"Buy the medicine, you wait at home."

Shen Ruo nodded quickly, her eyes full of dependence, "Okay."

That look almost made Qi Wenshen unable to move, but in the end he hardened his heart and went out.

Shen Ruo took a picture with her phone and zoomed in to look at it.

The photo made her gasp.

Miserable.

She was really too careless.

When her neck itched, she slapped it, and with that one slap, she killed the rove beetle on her skin.

If she had known it was a rove beetle and rinsed it with plenty of water immediately, the situation would have been much better.

it's good now.

If it doesn't heal in a couple of days, it might really leave a scar.

Shen Ruo threw her phone on the sofa.

She recalled a phrase: extreme joy turns to sorrow.

This afternoon she was in Taoyuan, expressing how happy she was.

The retribution came faster than a delivery.

She hates rove beetles.

Qi Wenshen quickly bought the medicine and arranged it properly.

"It might hurt a little."

Shen Ruo looked at him and nodded.

To make it easier to apply the medicine, Shen Ruo tied her hair into a bun.

Pull the collar down.

Under the light, her rounded shoulders and smooth upper back were clearly visible.

Qi Wenshen remembered that soft feeling, and his hand tightened around the cotton swab.

When the saline solution came into contact with that patch of red skin, Shen Ruo's shoulders jerked.

It hurts, it burns.

Qi Wenshen paused for a moment, and only continued wiping after she had recovered.

"Bear with the pain, it will be over soon."

Will it leave a scar?

Shen Ruo was very persistent about this issue.

"Won't."

He said.

Shen Ruo bit her lower lip and remained silent.

After Qi Wenshen finished applying the ointment to the last red spot, he put down the cotton swab and gently hugged her from behind.

Shen Ruo leaned against him, closed her eyes, and felt the warmth of his chest and the beating of his heart.

"cousin."

"Um."

"If I get a scar on my neck, will you dislike me?"

Qi Wenshen was silent for two seconds, then reached out and pinched her chin, lifting her face so that she looked into his eyes.

His gaze was so earnest that Shen Ruo felt he was making some kind of vow.

Even if you are disfigured, you are still Madam Qi.

Shen Ruo was surprised.

That's too domineering.

But she liked it very much.

Qi Wenshen looked at her stunned expression, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and he reached out and gently brushed the tip of her nose. "Don't overthink it."

He stood up, opened the bottle of loratadine tablets, took out one tablet, went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water, brought it over and handed it to her, "Take this, it's for allergies."

Shen Ruo obediently took the medicine, drank half a glass of water, and put the glass on the coffee table.

Qi Wenshen picked up the bottle of anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic ointment again.

"Apply it again tomorrow morning. Be careful not to get it wet when you shower. If the blisters break, disinfect them with iodine solution and then apply Bactroban. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, alcohol, and sun exposure for a week."

Shen Ruo listened and then laughed.

"What are you laughing at?"

Qi Wenshen frowned as he looked at her.

"I'm laughing at you for acting like an old woman."

Qi Wenshen's expression froze for a moment, then he reached out and flicked her forehead lightly.

"Whose mother?"

"Mine, mine, mine, okay?"

Shen Ruo covered her forehead, her eyes crinkling with laughter, having almost forgotten the pain in the back of her neck.

Qi Wenshen smiled at her, sat down on the sofa again, pulled Shen Ruo into his arms, and let her lean against him.

Shen Ruo found a comfortable position, like a cat that had found its nest.

She suddenly remembered something, something she had kept buried deep in her heart, something she dared not think about, but something that always popped up unexpectedly.

The female lead is about to appear.

Don't ask why, just go with your gut feeling.

She couldn't quite remember the timeline from the original story, but she had a feeling it was coming soon.

The woman named Wen Zhiyue will soon appear in Qi Wenshen's life.

Shen Ruo's fingers unconsciously curled around the buttons of his shirt.

She knew she shouldn't ask.

She reached out and drew a circle on his chest, deliberately keeping her voice relaxed, "Cousin, can I ask you a question?"

"Um."

"If a woman prettier than me pursued you, would you fall for her?"

Qi Wenshen looked down at her and frowned slightly.

What's the problem?

He reached out and grabbed her mischievous fingers, stopping her from moving them any further.

Am I the kind of person who falls in love with every girl I meet?

Shen Ruoxin said, "You are the female lead's official love interest, the devoted and infatuated lover in the author's writing. Your love is given to only one person from beginning to end. The plot is set up so that you are only hard on the female lead."

But he said, "No."

At least not now.

Qi Wenshen ran his fingers over the back of her hand and then dropped the subject.

Shen Ruo moved slightly, sniffed herself, and found herself covered in sweat, feeling sticky.

She shifted uncomfortably, wriggling out of his arms. "I'm going to take a shower."

Qi Wenshen released her, but his gaze remained on her face. "You can't get your neck wet. If you wash it yourself and get water on it, the medicine will be wasted, and it will be even worse tomorrow."

"I know, I'll just wipe it with a towel."

She went upstairs, her hand just touching the doorknob.

"I'm worried."

"what?"

Shen Ruo stopped in her tracks.

"Let me wash it for you."

Shen Ruo stumbled and almost fell flat on her face.

What did she hear?

Should I help her wash?

She has a neck ache, but she can't move her hands or feet, so she can wash herself perfectly well.

The consequences of him washing her were severe, so severe that she dared not even think about them.

She turned around, her face already flushed. "No, no, I can manage on my own, really. I'll be careful..."

Qi Wenshen has already come through.

"I'll help you drain the water."

"..."

When she followed him in, Qi Wenshen was already in the bathroom.

Qi Wenshen gestured with his chin toward the wardrobe. "Go get your pajamas."

Shen Ruo responded and walked to the wardrobe, opening the door.

She reached for the Pleasant Goat pajamas, and just as she took them off the hanger, Qi Wenshen's voice drifted from behind her, "That one has a collar, it'll touch your neck."

"Change into another one."

Shen Ruo turned around and looked through the clothes. There were only two pieces: a Pleasant Goat outfit and a Red Wolf outfit, as well as a lace camisole nightgown.

She only wore it once after buying it, the night Qi Wenshen opened the Intimate Payment app for her.

Later, she stuffed it into the very back of her wardrobe, too embarrassed to wear it again.

She gritted her teeth and pulled out the lace slip dress.

She turned around, held up her pajamas for Qi Wenshen to see, her voice a little strained, "Is this one alright? It doesn't have a collar."
