Chapter 81 Kiss In The Morning And Evening
Even though she had mentally prepared herself, Yuliana was still frightened by the shocking wound on Christopher’s back.
She was stunned for more than ten seconds before she got up and went outside to bring the medical kit in. She didn’t know what to do after she took out a pile of bottles and jars from the kit and looked at the injury on his back.
After a while, Yuliana got a bottle of saline and a towel. She poured the saline on the towel and then cleaned the bloodstains and wounds on Christopher’s back. Next, she smeared the wounded back with iodine. She only prepared some simple medicine for external injuries but didn’t know whether it would work. Then, she fed Christopher fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory medicine.
It had been more than half an hour since Yuliana finished the treatment.
Yuliana sat by the bed and stared at Christopher for several moments.
She stared at the blonde hair resting on the man’s forehead and the inky dark eyebrows on the high- brow
bone.
Yuliana noticed Christopher had a high nose that was not too straight. Christopher’s face was delicate- looking, which added to the masculinity of his whole look.
His lips were thin and M-shaped. The corners of his mouth naturally curved upward, so every time he pursed his lips and stared at others, he always showed a half-smile, which looked mischievous.
It was undeniable that Christopher was blessed by god and gifted a handsome face.
She remembered that many girls liked Christopher during high school.
During that time, whenever there were any signs of activity from Christopher, the girls in the class would gossip excitedly about which teacher he had talked back to, whom he had fought with, or which girl from another class he had flirted with. Even when Christopher bought new clothes or a pair of shoes, they were particularly eager to discuss and gossip about it.
It seemed that all the things Yuliana remembered about Christopher were heard from other people. Yuliana returned to her senses and put the medical kit back in its original place. She then removed the blanket from the cabinet and lay on the couch outside.
The couch was indeed too narrow. Even her five feet and five inches body had to curl up when she lay down. Yuliana probably felt tired, as she had fallen asleep soon after she lay down for a while.
At dawn, Christopher woke up.
The dim light shone through the clean curtains. The room was still dark. He opened his gray eyes and glanced at his surrounding for a while. He suddenly remembered something. As soon as his neck moved, he accidentally tugged the wound on his back.
Christopher felt pain in his back.
He clenched his teeth for a few seconds and waited for the pain to subside. He then slowly sat up from the bed, searched by the headboard, and reached out to press the light switch.
As soon as the lights were on, the layout and furnishings of the whole room became evident in his eyes. There was no mess in the room. The beds, tables, and cabinets were placed in a normal way. All the furniture was spotless and tidy. There was a small and simple night lamp and a humidifier on the nightstand.
There was also a table beside the nightstand with a stack of books and a laptop.
Christopher looked around and then back at the blanket on the bed. It was plain blue with some tiny patterns on it. The fabric was soft and comfortable with a faint fragrance.
The blanket smelled just like Yuliana.
Christopher sat on the bed for a few minutes. He then lifted the blanket and got out of bed. He opened the door and saw Yuliana curled up on the couch through the light from the dim sky.
Probably because of the cold, she wrapped herself tightly in the blanket. With only her fluffy head exposed, she looked like a cicada pupa.
Christopher walked toward her and sat down on the floor by the couch. He quietly looked at Yuliana, who was still asleep.
Yuliana’s hair was very dark. She washed her hair last night, so it looked a little fluffy. The hair, especially the newly grown short ones, stood in the air one by one. As for the hair that was a little longer, it slipped out of the blanket, brushed her face, and landed on the corner of her lips.
Christopher wasn’t able to resist raising his hand and brushing the pinch of longer hair back behind Yuliana’s
ear.
Although his movements were gentle, Yuliana woke up from her sleep. She opened her eyes and stared at the large figure in front of her. She was stunned for a long time and was confused. She thought she was dreaming.
Her reaction was so cute that Christopher thought she looked like a cat that had just woken up. “No matter what I do at this moment, she would not reject me, right?” he thought again.
As he thought about it, Christopher raised his hand and put his palm against Yuliana’s face. He kissed her lightly while his thumb rested at the corner of her lip.
Yuliana froze and looked at him in a daze.
Christopher wanted to kiss her again. However, Yuliana suddenly became more clear-minded and hurriedly struggled to get one of her hands out of the blanket to block her lips.
They looked at each other silently, and neither of them spoke.
Only subtle noises could occasionally be heard from upstairs and downstairs. It made the atmosphere in the room even quieter and denser.
Christopher’s eyes gradually darkened. He pulled the hand covering her lips away and slowly leaned over. He gently kissed her upper lip.
Yuliana was shocked. It was as if she had been struck by lightning. She was in a daze. Only the gentle touch on her lips felt abnormally real.
“Ana.” A warm breath curled around her ears, and the man’s voice suddenly sobered her completely. She reached out and pushed away the man who was caressing her head.
Christopher was unprepared and lost his balance from the push. He leaned back and stretched out his arm to support himself on the floor before stabilizing himself.
When he returned to his senses, Christopher noticed Yuliana looking at him defensively with her cold eyes.
Christopher smiled and greeted her with his raspy morning raspy voice. “Good morning.”
Yuliana didn’t speak.
Although Christopher took the initiative to kiss Yuliana, he confirmed that she didn’t resist and even indulged a little in the kiss.
Therefore, she couldn’t blame Christopher entirely, to be honest.
Yuliana thought about those matters in her mind.
After a while, she calmed down again.
Yuliana sat up from the couch with the blanket in her arms. She raised her hand and flicked her hair. She then stared at Christopher for a moment and asked, “Why did you have injuries on your back?”
Yuliana felt that she didn’t care about him, but she had to say something to ease the atmosphere in the
room.
Christopher still sat on the floor with one of his legs bent and an elbow resting on the knee. He held his chin with his palm. His pose looked lazy and relaxed, but his eyes stared fixedly at Yuliana.
“Are you concerned about me?” Christopher asked.
“No.” Yuliana quickly denied it.
She was just casually asking him. She couldn’t shout and kick him out first thing in the morning.
Christopher was in a good mood. Even if Yuliana denied it, he still felt pleased. However, he didn’t answer Yuliana’s question. He lowered his eyelids and pondered for a moment before he said, “It’s just a slight injury. Don’t worry about it.”
The whip looked scary when swung, and Christopher felt it was really painful when it hit him. Fortunately, it only hurt the flesh. The injury would recover quickly.
Christopher had been hit a lot before, so he had gotten used to the pain.
Yuliana was stumped for words.
“Who says I’m worried about you?” Yuliana thought.
However, Yuliana could more or less guess that, with Christopher’s position, not many people dared to hurt him. As she looked at the wound on Christopher’s back, it seemed he didn’t resist the attack.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
