Chapter 2284: One-Night Stand with Shen

Shen You glanced at Ye Bai, noticing her serious expression and his arm, suddenly overloaded with movement, was almost as if it were filled with lead, barely able to lift. He sat down beside her.

Ye Bai’s gaze fell upon his blood-seeping wound, with so much seeping blood that the entire 3M patch was completely soaked.

She frowned slightly and glanced at Shen You.

Shen You said, “Haven’t you heard the saying, men bleed but don’t cry? This little blood is nothing.”

Ye Bai, “…”

She supported Shen You’s arm with one hand, and with the other, she tore off the 3M patch; the wound was severely torn.

Luckily, she was experienced and knew how to handle it.

Disinfection, applying medicine, bandaging — her actions were almost seamlessly executed.

Shen You watched from the side.

Even though she had helped him treat several wounds before, her movements were always so skilled and graceful, never enough to see.

After Ye Bai finished, she looked up at Shen You, “I’ll carry the bag. Try not to move that arm on the rest of the way.”

Shen You whistled at Ye Bai, “Alright, whatever you say, I’ll listen to you.”

Ye Bai blushed, said nothing more, and began packing away the things.

After tidying up the medical kit, the two began walking together.

Not very familiar with the area, Shen You followed behind Ye Bai.

He watched Ye Bai, as her frail shoulders carried such a large bag, yet she showed no sign of strain, walking briskly along the path.

Knowing she had likely trained this way since childhood, he suddenly felt some pity for her.

He said softly, “I’ll carry these things for you in the future.”

Ye Bai looked back at Shen You.

Shen You gazed at her without speaking.

Ye Bai turned her gaze away and continued walking, but her heart suddenly felt warm and a bit bitter.

In her twenty-one years of life, no one had ever said such words to her before.

With her father, he believed in training her and never helped her at all.

She remembered following her father out to collect herbs when she was a child, carrying a basket, however heavy it was, her father made her carry it.

Sometimes when it rained, the path was slippery, and when she fell, her father wouldn’t pull her up; he made her get up by herself.

Later, she mostly went out alone, carrying her own bag, and then partnered with Huo Jindong, who was even worse, making her carry even his stuff!

The more she thought about it, the more she found Huo Jindong to be a bastard; someone actually married him!

Half an hour later, they were tired and sat down to rest, replenishing their energy.

Shen You opened the bag, took out a bottle of water, unscrewed it, and handed it to Ye Bai.

Ye Bai took it, gulped it all down in one go, then picked up some bread and chocolate to eat.

Shen You started eating as well.

After eating, he looked at Ye Bai, “Can I smoke a cigarette?”

Ye Bai looked at Shen You, recalling that men sometimes regain energy by smoking a cigarette.

Huo Jindong always did that!

She nodded slightly, “If you want to smoke, smoke. Why ask me?”

Shen You reached for a pack of cigarettes, “Aren’t you not fond of smoking?”

He held the cigarette pack, shook out a cigarette, and gazed at Ye Bai, not smoking, just rubbing it lightly between his fingers.

Ye Bai said, “Go ahead and smoke.”

Shen You nodded at Ye Bai, lit it with a lighter, took a drag, looking at Ye Bai, a long trail of smoke exhaled.

Ye Bai watched him, unable to resist asking, “Does it really recover your strength quickly?”

Shen You nodded.

Ye Bai said, “Give me a cigarette too.”

Shen You, “…”

He instantly pulled a black face, stubbed the cigarette out, threw it aside, unwrapped a piece of chocolate, and ate chocolate with her.

Just then, the phone rang.

Shen You pulled out his phone from his pocket, the screen displaying an unfamiliar number.
