"I should get a bottle of saline solution... must hurt a lot, huh?" Jiang Cheng looked at him.

"What do you think?" Gu Fei's eyebrows were twisted into a knot.

"The pain from the alcohol will pass very soon." Jiang Cheng blew at his wound a couple of times, "I just wanted to give it a good rinse."

"... oh." Gu Fei peered at the wound, "You've finished rinsing now, right?"

"En." Jiang Cheng rummaged through the first-aid kit again and fished out a bottle of medical iodine, "It should be fine after we use this to disinfect it one more time."

"Are you going to pour that on as well?" Gu Fei asked.

"Of course," Jiang Cheng nodded. "It's such a large wound. Just how long do you think it'll take if we slowly dab it with a cotton ball ah."

"You're pretty damn carefree." Gu Fei growled.

"You went seeking for death, yet you still want to lie comfortably in bed. If you have the ability, then don't get hurt ah." Jiang Cheng then proceeded to also pour the iodine on after he finished speaking, then used the cotton ball to dab at it.

"To tell you the truth... it's not that I didn't want to take you with me." Gu Fei leaned against the wall and raised his arm to let him treat the wound on his waist. "It's mainly that... this matter... has nothing to do with you."

"En." Jiang Cheng knew what Gu Fei meant and it was also something that he could guess. Jiang Bin was looking for someone to vent his anger on after losing the ballgame, however, the one backing him up was Hou Zi who didn't see eye-to-eye with Gu Fei. "But I'm just the fuse. If you didn't insist on shouldering this matter for me, Hou Zi might have not been able to cause you trouble."

Gu Fei kept silent. Since he had bumped into Jiang Cheng the moment he came back, let alone making up an excuse, he didn't even have the chance to go over what had just happened.

But he was all verklempt because of Jiang Cheng. Just like this, Jiang Cheng was able to quickly figure out the truth of the matter based only on that small amount of information - he was truly deserving of being called a xueba. With such a meticulous mind for logic, he might as well study the sciences.

"You being like this makes me feel shameless." Jiang Cheng took the bottle of alcohol and dumped it on his waist. "I..."

"Ai!" Gu Fei couldn't hold back a yell, "Can't you give a warning first before you just dump it on?!"

"I can." Jiang Cheng shot him a glance, "Yo~ I'm about to dump it on for the second time now."

"You..." Gu Fei's words were cut short when Jiang Cheng dumped the alcohol on the wound once more. He took a deep breath, "You're retaliating, aren't you?"

"All set." Jiang Cheng used the cotton to give a couple dabs, "I got prescribed two bottles of tissue adhesive or something when I went to the hospital last time. I'll give you one tomorrow, you'll heal faster if you use that."

"... en," Gu Fei sounded in response.

Even though Jiang Cheng never touched him during the whole process, just the slightly painful touch brought by the cotton on the wound was enough to make that side of his body a little numb and weak. But once the alcohol settled, whatever unsavory ideas he had were instantly expelled from his mind - he was now pure of heart and limited in his desires.[1]

After gauze was properly placed over the wound, the person delivering the food arrived. Jiang Cheng went to bring in the two sets of rice with meat and vegetables while Gu Fei set up a small table and sat down.
