Chapter 31
This Is a Sick Man
If Luo Jin’an had fallen on his own, he might not have fallen too hard. He only fell because he wanted to protect Su Binglan. She was the one who fell onto Luo Jin’an.
Luo Jin’an’s fall made a loud sound as he landed on a big rock. He would be lying if he said it didn’t hurt. Bleeding was the least of his problems.
Since Su Binglan knew about medicine, she naturally realized the seriousness of the situation. She looked at Luo Jin’an, wanting to check on his back to see how wounded he was.
If Luo Jin’an were bleeding, Su Binglan would need to bandage him as quickly as possible. She looked at Luo Jin’an with a determined expression, and her eyes were gorgeous.
Su Binglan’s eyes looked like a painting, very lively. She blinked her almond-shaped eyes as if they could speak. One could tell what she thought just by looking into her dazzling eyes.
Su Binglan’s words triggered Luo Jin’an’s memories. He became depressed, but he heard Su Binglan’s insistence as he turned around to meet her eyes.
Luo Jin’an’s expression changed slightly. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Su Binglan with a faint smile. “Are you sure you want to see my back?”
Su Binglan always felt that Luo Jin’an’s gaze was a little strange, but she couldn’t put her finger on what it was. After some thought, she wondered if Luo Jin’an felt embarrassed.
“Are you worried that I’ll see the scars on your back? I’ve seen them before anyway, so you don’t have to worry.” Su Binglan tried to comfort Luo Jin’an.
Luo Jin’an asked faintly, “Are you sure you’ve seen them?”
Luo Jin’an’s words caught Su Binglan off guard. ‘What does he mean? Is there something wrong with my memory?’
Su Binglan remembered that her predecessor had seen Luo Jin’an’s back. But her memory was still a little fuzzy. Did Luo Jin’an not realize that Su Binglan had seen his scars? Or was there a deeper meaning behind Luo Jin’an’s question?
Was Luo Jin’an insinuating that Su Binglan wasn’t the same person as her predecessor? No, he couldn’t have discovered her secret so soon, right? As long as Su Binglan refused to reveal her secret, Luo Jin’an wouldn’t have any evidence to say otherwise.
Besides, Su Binglan’s parents thought it was normal for their daughter to behave like this, so there shouldn’t be a problem for Su Binglan.
Su Binglan’s expression changed slightly, pretending that she didn’t understand what Luo Jin’an meant. She said innocently, “What are you saying? Do you think I haven’t seen the scars on your back?”
“If I haven’t seen them, how would I know that there are scars on your back?” Su Binglan said as she approached Luo Jin’an’s back and violently pulled at his clothes.
‘Hmph, she wants me to play the guessing game,’ Luo Jin’an said. He didn’t move and allowed Su Binglan to take off his shirt.
When Su Binglan vented her frustrations and pulled at Luo Jin’an’s shirt, she saw that he was not moving. She felt strange and thought that Luo Jin’an was such an easy-going person.
Whenever Su Binglan’s predecessor tried to pull Luo Jin’an’s clothes and touch him, he would fiercely avoid her. Su Binglan looked at Luo Jin’an in surprise.
Su Binglan saw Luo Jin’an’s tender expression of enduring humiliation and stopped what she was doing. She felt like lightning had just struck her, and she wondered why she felt like a female hoodlum who bullied a decent man.
Luo Jin’an said in a low voice, “Please be gentle.” After saying that, Luo Jin’an lowered his head and turned his back toward Su Binglan, resembling a sculpture or a painting.
Su Binglan thought of a phrase—the gentleness of a bow.
But what did he mean by “please be gentle?” it was such an easily misunderstood sentence.
Moreover, Luo Jin’an looked like he was putting himself at the mercy of others with his head lowered in such a way.
Su Binglan’s hand trembled as she lifted Luo Jin’an’s shirt. Then she suddenly assumed that Luo Jin’an was being dirty-minded.
