Chapter 19 Sudden accident
Does this count as foreknowledge?

Lin Shen muttered to himself.

Although he suspected there was some danger outdoors yesterday, that doesn't mean he really wanted Qin Yuennan to get hurt.

"Can I leave?"

Qin Yuennan shook her head, gently massaged her ankle, and couldn't help but groan, her brows furrowed.

Seeing this, Lin Shen took out a bottle of water from his bag, poured it onto a towel, and applied it as a cold compress to her ankle, while also offering a word of comfort.

"No bones were broken, you just need to rest for a while and you'll be fine."

"Um...are you alright?"

I?
Lin Shen was stunned. He really didn't expect that Qin Yuennan, who was in such a state herself, would still have the extra energy to care about him.

"Of course I'm fine. It's you who should take a look at my hands."

At Lin Shen's repeated request, Qin Yuennan slowly opened her left hand.

The stinging pain from the bloodstains made her bite her lip tightly. Her usual aloofness had vanished, leaving only helplessness and panic.

"It was rubbed on the ground, but it's not serious."

"You call this not serious?"

Lin Shen sighed softly and took out iodine swabs from his bag.

He picked up Qin Yuennan's delicate left hand, carefully wiped away the fine grit from the bloodstains with a cotton swab, and then squeezed out iodine to disinfect it.

Throughout the entire process, she did not open her mouth to cry out in pain, only occasionally letting out a low moan from her throat.

"nailed it."

After temporarily treating Qin Yuennan's injuries, Lin Shen stood up and bent slightly with his back to her.

"Come up, I'll carry you down the mountain."

"..."

Qin Yuennan was stunned for a moment, then stood up and jumped onto Lin Shen's back.

However, he tried several times without success, which only made Lin Shen sweat profusely.

"Give it your all!"

Lin Shen leaned his upper body down a little more, his tone becoming somewhat stern due to his anxiety.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yuennan's lips twitched imperceptibly, but knowing that Lin Shen meant well, she jumped up.

Is this reasonable?

This makes sense.

In the past, when Qin Yuennan went hiking, the hot weather often caused her to get heat rash from wearing close-fitting clothes.

This also explains why she carefully jumped onto Lin Shen's back, because she was afraid of having her secret discovered.

You probably didn't notice, right?
A faint blush unexpectedly appeared on Qin Yuennan's cheeks. She breathed a sigh of relief after observing that Lin Shen's expression was normal.

Are you tired?

"Not tired."

Lin Shen chuckled. For him, carrying Qin Yuennan, who weighed a little over 100 pounds, was a piece of cake.

Otherwise, wouldn't all the training over the past ten days have been for nothing?
"Sister Nan, you're quite light."

"Is it."

Qin Yuening supported herself on Lin Shen's broad shoulders, trying to keep her chest from touching his back, as it would be cooler that way.

But since it was only four in the afternoon, the sun was still scorching.

This caused sweat to gradually seep from Lin Shen's forehead after walking down the mountain for a while.

Seeing this, Qin Yuennan took out a wet wipe from her waist bag with her right hand and thoughtfully wiped Lin Shen's face.

At this moment, the aloof and sophisticated woman's expression was filled with self-reproach.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pulled you down the shortcut. If we had followed the mountain road, this probably wouldn't have happened."

"I'd rather hear something else from you than an apology."

Lin Shen chuckled, which made Qin Yuenan pause for a moment, then mutter to herself.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Lin Shen joked to himself, "After all, I'm your assistant."

Lin Shen used a half-joking tone to ease the atmosphere, which made Qin Yuennan's guilt dissipate most of its dissipation, and her originally tense body gradually relaxed.

Because supporting herself on one shoulder with one hand was too tiring, she eventually pressed her upper body against Lin Shen's back, and instinctively stretched her arms forward and put them on his shoulders.

A faint smell of sweat reached her nose, but Qin Yuennan didn't find it offensive.

On the contrary, she quite liked the strong hormonal scent emanating from this man.

Especially since the other party is Lin Shen.

squeak--!
The crisp chirping of cicadas lingered in their ears, and the sun shone through the trees, casting dappled light that lengthened their shadows until they gradually merged into one.

Qin Yuennan pulled off the sun-protective clothing from her waist and covered the two of them with it. Their intertwined breaths could be clearly heard.

Hearing Lin Shen's heavy breathing, Qin Yuennan rested her chin on his neck and asked with concern.

"How about we take a break?"

"It's okay, I'm not tired."

"Aren't you tired? Why are you panting like this? Do you think I'm heavy?"

"Not really"

Lin Shen had unspeakable bitterness in his heart.

You're lying on my back without a bra, and you keep rubbing against me. What man could resist that?

well--!
Lin Shen sighed inwardly.

Qin Yuennan's gentle breaths rhythmically brushed against the back of his ears and neck, bringing waves of itching.

It made him feel itchy inside.

孽 孽!
Lin Shen silently endured the torment, his mind wandering somewhat.

!! ?
Upon feeling Lin Shen's warm, large hand, Qin Yuennan was startled and quickly punched his shoulder, questioning him coldly.

Where are you touching?!

Sorry, I didn't notice.

Lin Shen chuckled awkwardly twice and put his hands back in their original positions, which finally calmed Qin Yuennan's embarrassment and anger.

She suspected that Lin Shen did it on purpose!

But there was no flaw in his expression.

Qin Yuennan pursed her thin lips, feeling that the atmosphere between the two of them had become somewhat awkward after the little incident just now.

Fortunately, the journey wasn't long, and we soon reached the foot of the mountain.

Lin Shen hailed a sightseeing bus and took him and Qin Yuennan back the way they came.

5 PM, at the south gate of Dongsheshan.

"Let's go make a film."

Lin Shen got into the driver's seat of the Volvo S90, intending to take Qin Yuennan to the nearest hospital for a check-up.

However, she rejected him.

"It's okay, I'll be fine after a day of rest."

"If it's serious, taking a day off means delaying treatment for a day."

Lin Shen was adamant and drove to a nearby hospital without further ado, where he registered for orthopedics.

The doctor was an elderly man nearing seventy. He only touched Qin Yuennan's swollen ankle before waving his hand.

"Just spray some Yunnan Baiyao or apply some Voltaren cream. Try to move around as little as possible and go home to rest."

"Thank you doctor."

After leaving the hospital with the medicine, Lin Shen fastened his seatbelt and gave Qin Yuennan some instructions.

"Go back and have a good rest."

"Ah."

Qin Yuennan used an ice pack to cool down her injured ankle, and couldn't help but steal glances at Lin Shen, who was driving beside her.

Suddenly, a strange and complex emotion flickered in her usually calm and composed eyes.
