Chapter 874: Heartache

Shi Nuannuan had just turned off the shower when she heard an anxious voice behind her. Instinctively, she turned around.
Xiangyi immediately froze. Then, he felt his throat dry up.
It was the first time he had experienced such an awkward situation. For a moment, Shi Nuannuan had forgotten to react. She stared blankly at Xiangyi.
After about ten seconds, Xiangyi regained his senses and finally realized his impulsiveness. He turned back around and asked softly, “What happened to you?”
Shi Nuannuan also regained her senses when she heard him speak. Only then did she realize that she was naked.
She turned around a little too late and quickly took a towel to wrap it around her.
“I was a little out of it earlier and ended up showering in cold water.”
Xiangyi’s tensed heart finally relaxed.
“Put on the towel, I’ll help you.” He tried his best to remain calm, but her fair and smooth skin kept flashing in his mind, making his mouth and tongue dry and uncomfortable.
This was the first time he had experienced such a feeling.
In the past, when he helped Mr. Shi handle some matters, he had also seen some women naked, but he had never felt like this.
“I’ve put it on.”
She turned around and said to his back.
Xiangyi turned around and saw that she had already put on the towel, but the dryness in his throat did not diminish at all.
He walked to the shower and turned on the tap to adjust the temperature of the water.
Then, he turned around to look at her and softly said “It’s done.”
Shi Nuannuan held the towel with one hand as if she was afraid that it would suddenly fall off. This was because she had read many novels that had written this way.
As someone with a bigger imagination, she would let her imagination run wild.
“Oh.” Just as she was about to walk to the shower, she took the opportunity to put her hand down.
The moment she put it down, Xiangyi caught a glimpse of the bright red blood stain on the towel on her chest and his pupils constricted!
He suddenly walked over. “What happened?!”
He stared straight at the blood stain on her chest, but Shi Nuannuan, who had a rather big imagination, instantly thought of something else —she thought that he was staring at her chest.
Following his line of sight, she looked at her chest and realized that the white towel had been stained with bright red blood.
She paused for a moment, then raised her hand to look at her palm.
The hand she was using to hold up the towel was her injured hand.
Xiang Yi caught a glimpse of her injured hand when she raised her hand. He could not help but grab her small hand. “What happened?”
With that, his voice returned to normal. His heart ached as he suppressed the awkward atmosphere just now.
Shi Nuannuan did not want to hide anything anymore.
“Just now, my foot slipped and I fell. My hand scraped against the floor and it became bruised.”
“Why didn’t you say anything just now?” He looked at her with distressed eyes.
She looked up at him. “I didn’t think it was anything.”
Although it was a small injury, if it was at home, she would have already shown it to Mommy.
She had been pampered since she was young. As long as she saw a red injury, it was not a small injury to her. However, she also knew very well that it was normal for some ordinary people to have injuries. Therefore, she did not want Xiangyi to think that she was very delicate and could not bear a little pain.
However, Xiangyi’s reaction at this moment touched her.
