"Sit down." The girl sat obediently on the sofa and watched Huo Tindong take out a white medical case from under the desk. Ye Jinxin stuck her head out and asked with a face full of disbelief, "You really have a medical case in your office?"
She had thought that only the hospital would keep all sorts of medicines ready at all times.
"Yes." As he opened the medicine chest, he replied, "You should have prepared it for Auntie Ran. She was afraid there might be an emergency."
Ye Jin's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and pulled at the wool cushion on the sofa as he muttered, "What kind of emergency? She's really thoughtful."
"Put that burned arm down on my lap."
He rummaged in the medicine cabinet for a while and came up with a tube of scalding cream.
"Hiss!" Ye Jinxin used her hand to block Huo Tindong's movements and tried to pull out her arm. "Don't apply medicine on me. It's going to hurt to death."
"Endure it," Huo Ting said as he squeezed her arm tightly, not allowing her to move an inch. "Endure it, even if it hurts."
Ye Jinxin grimaced, "I hate you."
"Hate it," President Huo said with a straight face. "Better to hate it to the heart."
As he spoke, his hand began to rub even harder. If not, the ointment would not be able to seep through and the longer the wound was delayed, the more painful it would become.
The man's flexible strength grazed the wound, and the stimulation of the medicine caused the scalded area to feel a scorching pain.
The girl could only close her eyes in pain. Her upper body fell on the sofa and she breathed in the cold air, praying that the pain would soon disappear.
Ye Jinxin was on the verge of tears. Huo Tindong wasn't trying to drug her at all, he just wanted to take this opportunity to teach her a lesson for being disobedient! But even if she resisted, she wouldn't be able to. She was a weak woman; how could she possibly fight him!
The warm ointment seeped into her skin bit by bit. Miraculously, the burning pain disappeared bit by bit. Ye Jinxin stopped groaning and cried out in pain. He slowly stood up and looked at Huo Tindong who was applying the medicine.
"Dad!" Ye Jinxin picked up the ointment on the sofa and wrinkled his nose, "What kind of medicine is this?" It really works. "
Huo Ting Dong coldly snorted. "It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Yes."
Ye Jinxin blinked her eyes, "Thanks to this ointment, I really need to thank Aunt Ying Ran properly."
"Thank her?" President Huo was still kneading the ointment when his hand froze. "Why?"
"You said it." Ye Jinxin was relieved, "This ointment was prepared by that Aunt Wang Yingran." "Who should I thank without thanking her?"
President Huo shook off her hand and stood up with a cold expression.
I've massaged you for a long time, but I haven't done anything, not even a word of thanks.
When he reached the desk, he took a cigarette and snapped it into his mouth. He turned around and leaned against the desk, staring at the girl on the sofa like a falcon.
"Speak!" "Why do you burn your hands?"
It was one thing if he didn't ask, but Ye Jinxin recalled that the soup that he had painstakingly simmered for half a day was still in there. That was the result of her hard work, she couldn't afford to lose it! The girl stood up and said, "I'm going down to look for my soup!"
Seeing that she was about to leave again, Huo Tinton turned around irritably and put out his cigarette in the ashtray. He then walked forward and pressed Ye Jinxin on the sofa, "You stay here for me, explain the injury on your hand, and then sleep on the sofa for a while. Wait an hour, I'll take you to school."
Ye Jinxin struggled a bit. "But .."
"But what!" "You are not to go anywhere today unless you explain the wound clearly."
"I burned it myself!" Ye Jin looked at him and spoke with an aggrieved tone, "I was stupid and made a mess while cooking. I made it myself. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Didn't I say you weren't allowed in the kitchen?" Are you treating my words as nothing? "
Ye Jinxin did not want to argue with him, so she just bid him farewell and sat on the sofa in silence.
It was two o'clock. Her lunch break was almost over.
The man took the blanket from the sofa and threw it at her.
"You're not allowed to think about anything now. Sleep well."
Ye Jin felt his heart ache. It was originally nothing much, but after being yelled at by Huo Tindong, his heart was inexplicably filled with grievance.
Ye Jin pursed his lips and blinked a few times. Tears the size of beans rolled down his cheeks.
President Huo looked at her tear-stained face and instantly panicked. He bent down, wiped the tears off her face and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Was it hard to bear? Is the wound still painful? " With that, he grabbed the girl's wrist and examined her wound.
"Let me go!" Ye Jinxin suddenly shook him off and shouted without control, "Who wants you to care? Anyway, you never ask me what I'm really thinking!" "Every day, you only know how to howl, and every day, you only know how to be fierce!" As he spoke, his tears flowed even more fiercely. Ye Jinxin angrily raised her arm and wiped the tears off her face. Due to using too much strength, her delicate skin began to turn red.
Huo Ting Dong frowned, then pulled down her hand and held it in his own. He looked the girl in the eye and said, "I was wrong, alright? I shouldn't have scolded you when you were injured, I was wrong. Don't cry, okay?" The man raised his hand and gently wiped away the sparkling tears with the tip of his finger. These tears seemed to smash into his heart.
Ye Jinxin fiercely lifted her eyelids, "It was your fault after all. Who told you not to eat in the morning!"
Not eating in the morning? Where and where? But he couldn't care so much now. He wouldn't cry because of his precious daughter, so he could only nod and say, "Yes, it's my fault. I shouldn't have stopped eating in the morning."
"Not only in the morning." Ye Jinxin complained with reddened eyes, "Shouldn't you have dinner with that Aunt Wang Yingran?"
"Huh?" This time, Huo Tindong was completely stunned. He was eating with Wang Ying Ran, so where did this girl get in the way of him? Was it even worth crying for?
Ye Jinxin saw him look at her doubtfully and could not help but feel embarrassed for her pettiness, so she quickly lowered her head to look for words to make up for it. "I meant, I originally cooked for you, but you actually ate with Aunt Wang Yiran, making my hard work go to waste. That's why you said .."
"You cooked for me?" President Huo's eyes lit up. He did not even get to hear what was being said and only heard the words, "cooking."
Ye Jinxin lowered her eyes. For some reason, her heart began to beat faster when Huo Tindong stared at her. She replied with a bored tone, "Oh, I didn't do well. I just stewed a soup for the ribs."
Huo Ting chuckled. He looked at the girl's black head, his eyes filled with a gentleness that even he did not notice. "If you don't know how to do it, then just call home and ask Auntie Liu to do it for you."
Ye Jinxin wrinkled her nose and grabbed the woolen cushion on the sofa. "Can it be the same?"
These words warmed the depths of President Huo's heart. He caressed the girl's soft hair and said, "Yes, it's different. Ye Jin did it personally. It must be different."
It could truly be said that silence was better than sound.
