Bai Qingqing turned around, her eyes showing a hint of confusion and innocence as she looked at Fu Chen’s cold expression. She didn’t understand what was wrong with him. Weren’t they getting along fine at the shopping center earlier?
Cheng Rui also followed her gaze and looked at Fu Chen.
Fu Chen glanced at Cheng Rui and then turned to Bai Qingqing, saying, “You’re not a professional doctor. Let Liang Zhiyu take care of Cheng Rui’s wounds.”
Bai Qingqing was taken aback. She didn’t expect Fu Chen to suddenly say that.
Cheng Rui didn’t understand why Fu Chen suddenly treated Bai Qingqing as his little sister. Everyone had noticed Fu Chen’s kindness towards Bai Qingqing these days, as he genuinely treated her like a younger sister, protecting and doting on her.
He had forgotten that Bai Qingqing was the team leader’s sister. If he wanted to be with her, the team leader would definitely stand in his way.
Brothers generally didn’t like it when their sisters attracted attention from others. They felt that men were like wolves, always looking for opportunities, which made them displeased.
Fu Chen felt uncomfortable seeing his precious sister tending to Cheng Rui’s wounds, and Cheng Rui remained silent.
Bai Qingqing certainly didn’t want to miss the opportunity to increase Cheng Rui’s favorability. The members of the Thunder Squad didn’t often get injured, and if she missed this chance, there might not be another one. They would soon be arriving at the Yaoyang Base, where there would be more people, making it even more difficult for her to increase Cheng Rui’s favorability.
“Brother, Liang Zhiyu taught me how to apply the medicine. I won’t make any mistakes,” Bai Qingqing earnestly assured him, “I will take good care of Cheng Rui.”
Fu Chen stared at her with cold black eyes, his gaze piercing like a sharp knife.
Bai Qingqing felt a slight shock in her heart. She thought Fu Chen was afraid that she wouldn’t know how to apply the medicine correctly and might cause trouble for Cheng Rui. But she had assured him that she would do it well, and yet his expression became even worse.
She believed she had disguised herself well and couldn’t possibly be found out. So where did things go wrong?
Well, she decided to ignore his bad mood for now and would act cute and please him later.
Bai Qingqing turned back to tend to Cheng Rui’s wounds. After applying the medicine and wrapping it up, she wiped off the sweat on her forehead and revealed a beautiful smile. “All done. Liang Zhiyu said no big movements for you. If you need anything, just let me know, and I’ll get it for you.”
Cheng Rui nodded slightly, “Thank you.”
As Bai Qingqing put away the medical kit, she said, “No need to thank me. We’re teammates, taking care of you is the least I can do, especially since you got injured saving me.”
“You saved me in Jiangcheng too,” Cheng Rui looked at her delicate profile.
Bai Qingqing paused for a moment and said, “Alright then, we’re even.” She glanced at his injury and sighed, “I hope it doesn’t leave a scar.”
With such a serious injury, it was highly likely that Cheng Rui would have a scar. He didn’t mind, but when he saw that she cared, he recalled a phrase, “Scars are a man’s medal of honor.”
Bai Qingqing’s eyes shimmered, a smile on her face as she playfully replied, “So this is the medal you won’t let me miss out on?”
Cheng Rui felt a slight tremor in his heart, pursed his lips, and looked at her with intense gaze.
“Bai Qingqing, come here!” Fu Chen’s voice, filled with cold anger, came through.
Bai Qingqing quickly averted her gaze from Cheng Rui and immediately turned to look at Fu Chen, who had an unhappy expression. She walked briskly towards him.
“Brother, what’s wrong?” she asked in a low voice.
Fu Chen grabbed her slender arm and pulled her into the bedroom, slamming the door shut, leaving Cheng Rui frowning as he looked at the closed door.
The two of them stood face to face in the room.
Fu Chen stared at the girl in front of him, her expression innocent and pure, but his anger burned inside him.
Did she even know what kind of creature men were? Yet she kept approaching him, unintentionally provoking him.
Bai Qingqing pretended to look innocent on her face, but inside, she felt a bit nervous. She asked softly, “Brother, what’s wrong? Why are you angry?”
Fu Chen coldly glared at her and said, “Have I been too lenient with you?”
He reached out to pinch her chin, then turned his hand to hold her soft and tender cheeks. His deep voice concealed a hint of anger.
“Do you even know what kind of person Cheng Rui is to dare to get close to him!”
Oh, it turned out her brother was jealous.
Her brother’s possessiveness was really strong.
Bai Qingqing was delighted. She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to provoke him.
Fu Chen was the most difficult character to conquer. With his naturally suspicious and gloomy personality, it was hard for him to fall in love with someone. She needed to slowly ignite his inherent possessiveness by playing it cool and gradually transforming him.
There was a saying that seemed like a prophecy: “My brother was my boyfriend at first, then he became my husband.”
When Xiao Yang hinted that he had some feelings for her, Fu Chen even thought about pairing her up with Xiao Yang, saying they could be together once they reached the Jingzhou Base.
Since she was simultaneously pursuing several characters in this battlefield, she couldn’t admit to liking anyone. She had to play the role of a green tea or white lotus skillfully and naturally.
Men who were too superficially green tea could easily be recognized, so she had to be extremely cautious and act innocently to show them an attractive side.
She had a gentle knife, and she had to use it well.
Bai Qingqing rescued her face from his icy fingers, her expression carrying a hint of grievance. She said, “Brother, have you misunderstood again?”
Her eyes were clear and innocent as she looked up at him. “Everyone in the team has their own responsibilities, and I also want to help.”
“Cheng Rui got injured saving me, so out of guilt, I took care of him and applied the medicine.”
Bai Qingqing raised her hand to swear, earnestly saying, “In my heart, Brother, you are the most important. Please don’t be jealous, okay?”
When Fu Chen heard the words “jealous,” his eyebrows instinctively furrowed. The concept of jealousy didn’t exist in his life’s dictionary.
Fu Chen walked over to the sofa in the room and sat down. His pitch-black and cold eyes looked at Bai Qingqing as he rested his hand on the armrest, tilting his head slightly. His aura regained its previous calmness and indifference.
The dangerous atmosphere in the room spread, accompanied by a strong oppressive feeling that made people nervous.
Bai Qingqing wanted to break this sense of unease.
“Don’t move, just stand there,” Fu Chen stopped her from approaching, his black eyes narrowed as he observed her.
Bai Qingqing stood there like a puppet under a spell, allowing him to gaze at her.
“Brother, are you punishing me?” Bai Qingqing lowered her eyelashes, concealing the light in her eyes, and whispered, “If you don’t want me to apply medicine to Cheng Rui, I can go and tell Doctor Liang right now.”
“No need,” Fu Chen said as he looked at the girl standing motionless in place. She was probably too nervous, her fingers clenched together, and she tried to suppress her fear. She looked like a small lamb.
A strange excitement rose in Fu Chen’s heart. After losing her memory, she had become obedient. His image was reflected in her eyes, and whatever he commanded, she would do.
Occasionally, she would exhibit some small willfulness within his tolerance, but he didn’t dislike it. He indulged her in her coquettishness and enjoyed it when she acted cute and spoiled.
To him, Bai Qingqing was like a beautiful little cat he found on the roadside. He brought her by his side, allowed her to cling to him and didn’t want her to leave. He had the desire to protect her.
But this little cat would be attracted by others and occasionally use its claws to interact with them, which made him particularly displeased.
She mentioned if he was jealous, and this fresh feeling was the first for him.
When he realized this, he discovered that Bai Qingqing’s influence on him was deeper than he could control.
Bai Qingqing kept her head lowered and never raised it. She couldn’t grasp Fu Chen’s thoughts. He was indeed annoyed because she approached Cheng Rui, but when she deliberately mentioned his jealousy, his emotions became particularly cold and indifferent.
She felt that she would have to showcase her acting skills later to conquer his stone-like heart.
Water can penetrate even the hardest stone, unless his heart was made of diamond! There would come a day when she would find an opportunity to squeeze in!
She took a deep breath, forcing out tears and held them in.
“Come here,” the man’s deep and slightly magnetic voice sounded. “Come to your brother’s side.”
Bai Qingqing bit her lip, lowered her head, and walked over. Her gaze fell on his slender legs, still refusing to lift her head and show her face.
Fu Chen pulled her to sit beside him, reached out to pinch her chin, and lifted her small face, looking at her teary-eyed appearance with narrowed eyes.
“Feeling wronged?” His slender fingers gently stroked her cheek and said, “I say a few words to you, and you start crying. How pitiful.”
Bai Qingqing’s tears fell perfectly, crying with pear blossoms and rain, using her actions to express how wronged she felt.
“Crying again?” Fu Chen raised an eyebrow.
Tears continued to stream down Bai Qingqing’s face. The crystal-clear teardrops kept falling, her watery eyes showing a combination of grievance and anger.
“Is that what you said? You’re being mean to me, and you still make me stand as punishment.”
“Yes, it’s Brother’s fault.” Fu Chen casually looked at her face, his thin lips curling up as he said, “Keep crying a little longer.”
Bai Qingqing’s tears swirled in her eyes. She widened her eyes in disbelief and said, “What did you say?”
Fu Chen hooked his finger in her hair and smiled lightly. “Little sister, you cry so beautifully. Cry a little longer and let Brother have a good look.”
“You’re a pervert!” Bai Qingqing clenched her lips and glared at him. “No one likes to watch others cry.”
Fu Chen wasn’t lying. She looked beautiful when she cried, with teardrops lingering in her eyes, slowly sliding down like broken pearls. Her tear-stained cheeks were enchanting.
Her pitiful and charming appearance made people want to bully her and make her cry a little more.
Bai Qingqing told herself not to get angry and tried hard to hold back her tears. She didn’t want to cry in front of him.
Once the crying act started, it wasn’t easy to stop. Letting out a few sobs, she pounded him with her hand. “Brother, you’re really mean.” Fu Chen took out a pair of beautiful diamond earrings, placed them in his palm, and displayed them in front of her eyes. He said faintly, “Do you like them?”
