CHAPTER 258: CHAPTER 258: APPLYING MEDICINE (1)

Oh no, how did I bump into this rude guy?

Xuanxuan looked up and glanced at He Zerui. Seeing that his face was, as usual, devoid of any expression, she immediately lowered her head, took two steps back, and secretly cried out in her heart.

"I’m sorry." Although she didn’t like He Zerui, to avoid being scolded by him and out of courtesy, Xuanxuan apologized first.

"What’s wrong with your face? It’s ugly as hell!" He Zerui’s cold gaze fell on Xuanxuan’s face, still marked with finger imprints, as he asked knowingly.

You’re the one who’s ugly!

Xuanxuan glared at He Zerui in defiance, keeping her words to herself without speaking out.

"None of your business!" Xuanxuan retorted unceremoniously.

"It doesn’t hurt, speaking so loudly?" As he said that, He Zerui reached out and pinched Xuanxuan’s reddened cheek.

"Ouch! Oww!"

Xuanxuan was hurt again. The pain struck her, and she took a deep breath, glaring at He Zerui with anger and resentment, yelling, "You jerk, you did that on purpose!"

How did he bully her? He just wanted to confirm a fact in his own way.

"Knowing it hurts, you still talk so loudly?" He Zerui said with a cool expression, though his left hand was clenched into a fist, showing some stiffness.

"None of your damn business!" Xuanxuan shouted at He Zerui in anger, then stormed into her room in a huff.

With a loud bang, Xuanxuan slammed the door heavily, as if to convey her anger to He Zerui!

"Come up here!" He Zerui, with no expression on his face, stood at the stairs and issued an order to the butler below.

The butler had heard the confrontation between Xuanxuan and He Zerui clearly from downstairs, but he always feared the young master. Knowing that He Zerui wouldn’t actually hurt Xuanxuan, he didn’t dare intervene to mediate; he could only stand downstairs and silently pay attention to the commotion upstairs.

At this moment, as soon as He Zerui spoke, the butler immediately rushed upstairs with almost unprecedented speed.

"Young master, do you have any orders?" The butler asked respectfully without daring to take a breath.

"Apply the medicine for her." He Zerui slowly released his left hand, and a tube of ointment came into the butler’s view.

So the young master still cares about Xuanxuan! He just doesn’t know how to express it!

The butler felt a secret joy in his heart but didn’t show it, avoiding angering He Zerui.

"Alright. I guarantee the task will be completed." The butler carefully took the ointment from He Zerui’s hand, smiling as he spoke.

"Hurry up!"

The butler’s radiant smile did not affect He Zerui; instead, it earned a cold hasty order from him.

Clutching the ointment, the butler walked to Xuanxuan’s door, knocked, and asked softly, "Xuanxuan, can Uncle Butler come in?"

"Yes, come in." As long as it wasn’t He Zerui, she welcomed anyone in this house.

"Xuanxuan, does your cheek still hurt?" The butler asked with concern.

At these words, Xuanxuan immediately thought of He Zerui’s nasty behavior just now and responded with anger, "It hurts! A lot!"

"Then can Uncle Butler apply some medicine for you? This ointment was specially given to me by the young master, which means he cares about you." The butler spoke kindly of He Zerui, trying to ease the tension between the two children.

"Would he be so kind?" Xuanxuan expressed her doubt!

"Of course, the young master, although not very talkative, is a good person."

"Uncle Butler, were you forced to say these words by that rude guy?"

Rude guy?

After a few seconds of being stunned, the butler realized who Xuanxuan meant by the rude guy!

"No, Uncle Butler would never lie to you."

Xuanxuan believed the butler wouldn’t lie to her, but she couldn’t believe that He Zerui would kindly give her ointment!

Taking the ointment from the butler’s hand, Xuanxuan walked out with a determined expression. She was so quick that the butler was stunned for a moment, then reacted, chasing after her.

"Xuanxuan, where are you going?" The butler asked, watching Xuanxuan’s back as he walked.

"Return the ointment to that rude guy!" She didn’t want anything from him! Xuanxuan was still angry, so she had no intention of accepting He Zerui’s kindness or forgiving him.

"Oh, Xuanxuan..." The butler sighed helplessly, trying to hold onto Xuanxuan, but she suddenly quickened her pace, leaving him grasping at air.

Seeing Xuanxuan already gripping He Zerui’s door handle, the butler’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly called out, "Xuanxuan, don’t go in, the young ma..."

The young master’s room was a forbidden area, and no one except the master was allowed to enter!

But before the butler could finish speaking, Xuanxuan had opened the door and walked in.

"Xuanxuan, get... get out quickly!" The butler stood at the door, afraid to step inside, stretching his neck and softly calling to Xuanxuan, fearing to disturb He Zerui.

"I’ll come out quickly." Xuanxuan turned back and smiled at the butler, completely unaware of his anxiety.

He Zerui was playing on his computer. When he saw Xuanxuan walk in, he frowned but didn’t get angry or speak, as if he directly ignored her presence, his fingers continued to fly over the keyboard.

"Here, take this back!"

Xuanxuan was used to He Zerui’s indifference and ignored her, so she didn’t mind being ignored this time. She walked directly to him, placed the ointment on the table, and was about to turn and leave after saying her piece.

"Who said this thing is mine?"

Suddenly, He Zerui’s flying fingers stopped, and he coldly asked, looking at Xuanxuan’s profile.

Please don’t say it was me?

Hearing this, the butler immediately cried out in his heart. Xuanxuan either sensed his plea or wanted to confirm his attitude. She glanced at him and saw his face full of anxiety, so she said, "My face doesn’t hurt anymore, I don’t need this stuff."

"Doesn’t hurt? Really?" He Zerui chuckled coldly, his voice carrying a chilling tone that gave Xuanxuan a creepy feeling.

Not daring to look directly into He Zerui’s eyes, Xuanxuan’s gaze fell on his computer screen, adamantly saying, "Of course, it’s true."

Just a moment ago, she was crying from the pain, and now it’s fine after a few minutes?

He Zerui’s lips curled into a mocking smile, "Lying without even blinking."

"I... I didn’t." Under He Zerui’s gaze, Xuanxuan stammered guiltily, but she quickly recovered, stubbornly denying.
