Chapter 110 - There Are Things That Shouldn't Be Said
Luo Ziling's gaze naturally fell on Linlan's chest, but it only stayed there for less than a second before it shifted to the scar.
He walked forward and carefully checked how it was recovering.
Because Linlan was standing with her back to the light, he could not see it clearly, so turned on the lights in the room and pulled her over to the brightest spot.
Her upper body was exposed as she faced him. Although Lin Lan was very reserved and uncomfortable, she still listened to Luo Ziling's orders in the end.
Biting her lips, she stood in front of Luo Ziling, but didn't feel as nervous as she had imagined she would be.
Perhaps it was because she felt that since he'd already seen every part of her body, it wasn't a big deal if he were to look again. Or maybe it was because she didn't sense any ill will from him.
Or maybe there was another reason that she couldn't put into words that made being stared at by this man acceptable.
Luo Zziling carefully checked the condition of the scar and gently pressed on it with his hand. After the examination was over, he let out a long sigh. "The worries just now were unnecessary. It has recovered well."
As he spoke, he did not wait for Linlan to respond. He took out his medicine and carefully wiped it on the scar. When he finished, he used a cotton swab to drain away any excess medicine.
Linlan did not resist, nor did she think of breaking free. She just stood there quietly and let him treat her wounds.
Yesterday, after cutting open her old scar and applying the medicine, Luo Ziling had used a sterilized gauze to wrap it up. Today, however, there wasn't any need for him to do the same again.
Linlan's wound had already formed a scab, and the speed which it was healing at was completely incomparable to that of a normal surgical suture.
The recovery speed of the wound had surprised Linlan, but not Luo Ziling. After he wiped away the remaining medicine on her body, he said, "It's best if you don't wear a bra. If it chafes against the wound too much, it might not heal well and it might leave a scar behind."
Seeing Linlan looking at him strangely, Luo Ziling hesitated for a moment and elaborated, "It should be fine by tomorrow, but it's best to be careful, you know."
"Got it." Linlan did not think that Luo Ziling wanted to do anything inappropriate to her, so she agreed readily and prepared to put on her clothes, minus her bra.
"Let me help you." Luo Ziling picked up the clothes that Linlan had just taken off. "There's no one else here, and I'm the doctor who's helping you. Don't worry so much."
Linlan nodded. She didn't try to put on a brave face anymore and allowed him to help her dress. When he finished, he said, "Make sure to rest properly so the medicine can work properly."
"Alright. Then how about you go to sleep for a while?" Linlan pointed to her big bed. "You look tired. I'll send you back to the campus after you rest up. I'll also make you lunch later."
While Luo Ziling had been here several times, it was the first time she'd offered to make him food, so he was actually excited.
He didn't turn down her offer, especially since he really was tired and wanted to sleep. Yesterday, he had unceremoniously fallen asleep at her place, and she hadn't even invited him to do so!
Today, however, she'd extended an invitation to him, and Luo Ziling really did not think of rejecting her.
After that, he lay down leaned on the other side of the bed, let out a yawn, and quickly fell asleep.
Linlan herself was also rather tired, but she did not go to sleep. Instead, she quietly walked to the bathroom, took off her clothes, and carefully examined her wound in the mirror. After looking at it for a while, she put on her clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing that Luo Ziling was sleeping soundly, she hesitated for a bit, but eventually lay down on the bed.
Soon, she fell asleep as well.
After about an hour, the both of them woke up at the same time.
When Luo Ziling opened his eyes, he found Linlan sitting up next to him, a strange expression on her face. "I'm sorry, I actually ended up sleeping..." he quickly apologized. "I was really tired just now. I feel much better after sleeping."
"I'll make you some lunch. You can go back after you eat. You were all sweaty just now, so why don't you take a shower first?" Without waiting for him to respond, Linlan turned around and walked out of the room.
Luo Ziling had wanted to say that he would go with her, but after thinking about it, he ended up not saying anything.
When she closed the door and walked out of the room, Luo Ziling stood up and carefully looked around his surroundings. Unfortunately, there was nothing in Linlan's room that interested him.
He didn't have the guts to poke around too much in her room, so in the end, he packed his things and sat on the sofa in the living room outside.
Although Linlan had asked him to take a shower, he didn't plan to, mainly because he was embarrassed.
After all, Linlan was a woman. If someone else knew that he was taking a shower in a woman's room, it would be rather awkward for him, and it would also damage Linlan's reputation. Some people would think that they had that kind of relationship.
Of course, Luo Ziling himself also thought that their relationship was something like that. In any case, their relationship was completely different from the others.
After about ten minutes, Linlan returned with a food bag in hand.
Luo Ziling quickly took it from her and brought it to the table, taking out the things inside.
"It's lunch for the two of us. You'll have to make do with it," Linlan said in a low voice.
"It's fine," Luo Ziling smiled shyly as he opened the tupperware inside
Inside, he found that the food was actually very rich. There was fish, meat, and vegetables, and quite a lot of them, to boot. The chef was probably very good at cooking.
When the two of them sat down to eat together, Luo Ziling smiled and said, "Your food is quite good!"
Linlan's only answer was a glance at him.
Luo Ziling smiled and wolfed down the food.
While eating, he could not help but ask, "Is the Chief the founder of the Soaring Dragons?"
After hearing his question, Linlan immediately frowned. "Who did you hear it from?"
Luo Ziling believed that the old man was the founder of the Soaring Dragons, so he hurriedly explained, "Actually, as long as you're not a fool, you can see that the Chief is very respected and that you're very afraid of him. When I first came here, I could already feel a powerful aura even though I hadn't seen him yet. It was the kind of aura that feels like it's pressing down on you. All these clues were what lead me to that conclusion."
Of course, Luo Ziling wouldn't say that it was because of what Ouyang Feifei had told him.
When Lin Lan heard this, she didn't question him anymore, neither did she answer his question. She just continued to focus on eating.
After finishing his own portion of food, she then said indifferently, "There are things that can't be said, therefore you shouldn't pry too much into them. If there is something that you must know, then you'll eventually learn about it."
"I see!" Luo Ziling agreed.
