Chapter 497: 252 Palace Examination (two in one)_3

If this hand belonged to someone in a former life, it would likely belong to a surgeon or a pianist.

How did it get injured?

Gu Jiao felt a bit angry.

Usually at home, she would not allow him to do heavy work, for fear that he would hurt his hand.

“How did you get this injury?” She asked.

In fact, they seldom asked each other about such things. Gu Jiao didn’t ask him how he got injured when she treated his leg earlier. When Gu Jiao was knocked unconscious by a whip, he never asked who she had offended.

Although they had learned the truth somehow, it wasn’t from each other’s mouths.

“It was hit by a bookshelf,” Xiao Liulang said, “I didn’t pay much attention at the time.”

Looking at his swollen wrist, Gu Jiao furrowed her brows, “Be more careful next time.”

Xiao Liulang nodded: “Okay.”

The first day of treatment required cold compresses to prevent the spread of the bruise.

Gu Jiao took an ice pack from her first aid kit and applied it on his wrist. This ice pack didn’t require freezing, it just had to be crushed to turn into ice. The disadvantage was that it could not be used multiple times.

Xiao Liulang was used to her first aid kit carrying strange items from time to time, so he didn’t ask where the ice came from.

She held his wrist with one hand and pressed the ice pack to his wrist with the other, often changing the position, with an expression of seriousness and carefulness.

Xiao Liulang’s gaze was slightly moved, extending his hand and saying, “I can do it myself.”

Gu Jiao took away the ice pack to avoid his hand: “No, it’s very cold.”

Are your hands not cold then?

Xiao Liulang looked at her silently, his wrist feeling cold and painful, but his heart seemed to be oblivious. Opening his mouth, he suddenly asked, “Do you… treat other patients like this too?”

“No,” Gu Jiao shook her head, carefully applying the ice pack to his hand, “I only treat you like this.”

Xiao Liulang’s heart suddenly throbbed, a strange and intense feeling rising up. Even though she didn’t specify what she did for him alone, it still made his heart race.

Perhaps the ice pack was too cold, her left hand had been frozen solid, so she switched to using her right hand to hold the ice pack and used her icy left hand to support his hand bone.
