Chapter 34: Sweet Punishment

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Bo Jingshen always remembered how she enjoyed eating the fried crabs so much.

Although he could not understand why this crustacean was delicious food, it did not stop him from brooding over the fact that he had not enough money at the time to buy large crabs for his beloved young lady.

But now he had money.

So, Bo Jingshen decided to fulfill her desires and let her feast on the bigger ones! Would two be enough?

Su Lu didn’t want to argue with him. Bo Jingshen was quite stubborn, and his opinions were usually hard to change.

“You have a class reunion tonight, right? I remember you mentioned yesterday at Old Zou’s place that you would be attending the class reunion,” Su Lu suddenly recalled.

“Oh, right,” Bo Jingshen replied.

“What do you mean, ‘oh, right’?” Su Lu was speechless. He had completely forgotten about it. If she hadn’t reminded him, he would have let it slip by.

“Well, in that case, you should go to the class reunion,” she suggested.

“What about you?” Bo Jingshen suddenly felt a bit annoyed. If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have agreed to Old Zou’s class reunion.

“I’ll treat the people from the project team to a meal. After that typhoon, they must have been quite frightened,” Su Lu said, preparing to get out of bed.

But unexpectedly, the man behind her reached out his arm and wrapped it around her waist, preventing her from getting up.

Su Lu was speechless.

She instinctively wanted to break free, but the man behind her seemed to have anticipated her move and acted before she could struggle.

His deep and magnetic voice sounded lazy, “Don’t move, I still have an injury on my back.”

These words acted like a switch, instantly halting all of Su Lu’s movements.

Su Lu asked softly, “Is it still not healed? When are you going to remove the stitches? I haven’t seen you go to the hospital to change the dressing or anything…”

“When you go for your scar removal treatment, I’ll have the stitches removed at the same time. It’s just a minor injury, no need to go to the hospital for changing the dressing,” Bo Jingshen said casually.

He spoke as if he didn’t care at all about the injury.

Su Lu couldn’t help but furrow her brow. It would have been understandable if he were in some kind of work that involved dealing with injuries frequently, but he wasn’t. He was a legitimate businessperson running a respectable enterprise.

How could he be so nonchalant about wounds? And what about those old scars on his body…

Was his current attitude towards injuries related to those old scars?

What had he gone through?

Su Lu didn’t get up from the bed. Instead, she reached for the landline on the bedside table and dialed the front desk.

The call was answered promptly.

“Hello, this is the front desk. How can I assist you?”

“Hello, I was wondering if you have a first-aid kit available?” Su Lu asked politely.

“We provide only basic non-prescription medication and simple disinfectants for minor wounds. If it’s a prescription medication or a larger wound, we recommend visiting a hospital.”

“That’s alright. The basic kit will do. Could you please send it up? Thank you,” Su Lu replied.

After receiving confirmation from the front desk, Su Lu hung up the phone.

The man behind her remained silent, but his muscular arm, with its elegant contours, seemed to hold her even tighter.

Not long after, the doorbell rang.

Su Lu was about to get up, but Bo Jingshen no longer held her down.

When she entered with the first-aid kit, Bo Jingshen had already gotten up and was sitting by the bed.

“I’ll help you change your dressing,” she said.

He didn’t refuse Su Lu’s kindness and allowed her to remove the gauze on his back.

Su Lu was taken aback, her hands unable to make any other movement, and her gaze fixed.

To be honest, Su Lu had been negligent.

Because Bo Jingshen didn’t seem like someone who had an injury…

His aura was strong, and there was never a trace of pain on his face. He seemed unaffected as if he were perfectly fine. Every gesture and movement he made conveyed no sign of being injured.

And yet, he still could do something to Su Lu.

As a result, Su Lu neglected that Bo Jingshen was a person with injuries.

So much so that Su Lu believed that perhaps the injury wasn’t as severe as she thought.

It was only when she removed the gauze and saw the wound beneath it that she realized…

How could it not be that serious?

It was very serious, but this man had always covered it up with a casual attitude!

A long scar extended diagonally from his shoulder, across his entire back, and reaching the other side of his waist.

The deeper parts were stitched, resembling a winding centipede on his back.

Su Lu took a deep breath. When she exhaled, her breathing was trembling.

Then she heard Bo Jingshen let out a soft sigh. “It’s not that serious, it just looks intimidating.”

The words “utter nonsense” was on the tip of Su Lu’s tongue.

However, when Su Lu thought about how Bo Jingshen had sustained this injury, she couldn’t utter a word. She could only bite her lip and open the bottle of disinfectant. She took out a soaked cotton ball from the inside and held it with tweezers. Slowly, she dabbed at the wound, being extra careful.

“You’re already so injured, but you still drank yesterday!” Su Lu couldn’t help but reproach, her tone laced with disapproval.

And he even dared to prevent Old Zou from drinking when he couldn’t even control himself!

Her movements were slow and meticulous, and she dared not apply too much pressure, afraid of causing him pain.

So much so that… this sensation became even more tormenting.

Bo Jingshen’s lips were tightly pursed. To be honest, he thought it would be better to just get a clean-cut.

The pain was always a more straightforward sensation, without dragging it out.

And Su Little Lu at this moment… It was as if there was a feather gently brushing against his wound, repeatedly.

It was also as if there was a feather gently brushing against his heart, continuously.

It made him feel extremely uneasy, but he couldn’t say anything. He could only purse his lips and endure.

His forehead was covered in sweat.

Su Lu saw the thin sweat on his forehead and back and thought that he was in pain!

Her movements became even more delicate and gentle!

It was simply a vicious cycle.

Fortunately, even the longest wound had its limits.

After Su Lu finished disinfecting the wound and letting the disinfectant dry, she applied a thin layer of healing ointment and carefully covered it with a breathable waterproof dressing.

That was considered changing the dressing.

Only then could Bo Jingshen consider his sweet torture to be over.

“Done,” Su Lu said.

Bo Jingshen let out a long breath.

Su Lu couldn’t help but glance at his back. Besides this new wound, there were several old scars on his back.

They had already healed, and they seemed to be old injuries, but she couldn’t discern their origins.

Nevertheless, they were still shocking to behold.

Bo Jingshen quickly put on a bathrobe, concealing those old wounds.

“Su Lu.”

“Yes?”

“Come with me to the class reunion.”

“But I…” Su Lu furrowed her brow.

Wasn’t it inappropriate? When she and Bo Jingshen broke up, although it didn’t create a big fuss at the University of Science and Technology, their classmates and roommates might still be aware of the details. At that time, she had played the role of a villain to the fullest.

If they were to meet again now, it would only lead to unnecessary awkwardness.

However, Bo Jingshen seemed to have pinched her weak spot.

He said, “There might be drinking involved during the class reunion.”
