To Qin Xiu, he and Ye Jian naturally knew each other. There was not much courtesy like when talking to the Elite Platoon. It was much more casual.
It wasn’t only his tone. He turned his body sideways to allow the Chinese soldiers to board after speaking, but when it was Ye Jian’s turn, he gently pulled her wrist. “You sit with me. Let them get on board first.”
Xia Jinyuan, who was about to help her get on board, turned around to look at Qin Xiu. He said in a sullen voice: “Her arm is injured, we need to help her handle after getting on board. Translator Qin should allow us to sit together.”
Qin Xiu had recognized Xia Jinyuan this time. He was the best choice for a son-in-law in his mother’s eyes.
Because of that, Qin Xiu put up a gentle and courteous attitude as he said: “Sorry, I was reckless.” He then said to Ye Jian: “You get on board first. Let them check it out. If you need to head to the hospital, we could immediately arrange another transport to send you there.”
Ye Jian did not wish for another vehicle to sent her to the hospital. She lifted her arm and said, “It’s just a graze wound. It’ll be fine after I handle it, there’s no need for the hospital.”
There was lighting on the bus, and she was standing by the door, allowing Qin Xiu to see the burn wound on her arm. It was a burn wound caused by a stray bullet hitting a hard object, disintegrating most of the bullet’s might, and changing the trajectory. It was considered the lightest type of bullet wound.
”We’ll handle the wound when we get on board, there’s a first aid kit inside,” Qin Xiu, who had seen gunshot wounds in the past, had also been grazed before. He knew there was no need to find a doctor for such injuries. There was no need to say much, after consoling Ye Jian, he allowed Xia Jinyuan, who had already boarded, to pull Ye Jian into the vehicle.
The supplies in the first aid kit were quite complete. Xia Jinyuan placed Ye Jian’s left hand in between his knees as the car swayed. He held the cotton swab filled with saline with a pair of tweezers and handled her wound. “Don’t move. Keep your arm steady. Don’t allow the tweezers to press on your wound.”
When Qin Xiu, who was sitting alone by the side, heard those words, he got ready to get up and support Ye Jian’s shoulder. He noticed she had quickly reacted and used a single arm to hold the back of the seat, preventing her body from swaying.
Experiencing abduction, walking out of a torrent of bullets, and even being injured, but there wasn’t the slightest strange look on her face. She wasn’t frightened at all. It was as if she was already used to it.
This is weird, how could a student be used to a torrent of bullets?
Qin Xiu couldn’t help but take another look. His gaze landed on Ye Jian’s back figure; there was a hint of doubt in his indifferent eyes.
”The wound is not deep. There’s no need for stitches, but it might leave a scar,” Xia Jinyuan used another bottle of saline to finish cleaning it after speaking. He placed some antibiotics and wrapped the wound with sterile gauze. “Do not get it wet tonight to prevent inflammation.”
He lifted his head as he instructed Ye Jian. When he was keeping the medical supplies, his cold gaze had inadvertently looked towards Qin Xiu. He then realized he was looking at Ye Jian, his thin lips curled up, revealing a polite and estranged smile.
Qin Xiu nodded his head and calmly retracted his gaze.
Both of them came from good families; they were young masters of the capital with profound family history. The air of nobility in their bones was something that could not be imitated by others.
They were born with noble deposition; it was engraved in their bones; it was not obtained after cultivating it. Nobility accumulated through three generations could be used to describe the two of them.
A civil confrontation, in exchange for indifferent smiles, it was as if they did not enter each other’s eyes.
Qin Xiu had retracted his gaze. The young master from Xia Family was indeed not bad. Just like how the old lady in his house did not get along with the Xia Family’s old lady. It was not easy to pass through the old lady if they wish to marry the Qin Family’s daughter into the Xia Family.
