During the day, Li Yuwen refused to let Pei Shenyan find a doctor, nor did she allow anyone to see her injury.
She was afraid people would misunderstand and think the injury occurred during their bedroom activities; she couldn't explain it away even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
At night, when there were only the two of them in the room, Pei Shenyan handed her a box of medicinal oil from the bed, "Now that you're undressed, and there's no one else here, why not apply some medicine? It'll keep hurting if you don't."
Li Yuwen had bumped her waist and lay there all afternoon.
While bathing in the evening, she discovered a bruise.
Li Yuwen glared at him, "What do you mean by no one here, aren't you someone?"
Pei Shenyan, "..." He coughed lightly, "I'll step outside the curtain; I'll come back when you've finished applying the medicine."
