Chapter 122: Goth School Heartthrob 20

 Seeing Liu Shutong looking like this, Tang Wan almost spat out the breakfast she had just eaten.

What was this guy trying to look cool for?

Did he have any idea how ridiculous he looked?

But when she saw the steamed buns he had taken out from his arms, she still hurried over. “I’ve eaten. What about you?”

Liu Shutong took the rose from his mouth and handed it to her. “Not yet. I was planning to eat with you.”

Tang Wan’s lips curved slightly as she accepted the rose. “You don’t have to wait for me next time. Eat first and then come over.”

“Oh, okay.” Liu Shutong took her schoolbag and placed it at the front of the motorcycle.

Then he handed the steamed buns to her. “Hold these for me.”

Tang Wan nodded and took them, only to discover that they were still very warm.

Thinking about how he had just taken them out from inside his clothes, Tang Wan couldn’t help frowning slightly. “Is your stomach okay?”

The moment she said this, Liu Shutong immediately answered, “I’m fine.”

But inwardly, he was howling: I’m practically getting burned to death here! These buns had just come out of the steamer!

But he had only put them against his body to keep them warm so they wouldn’t get cold and lose their flavor.

……

Seeing how quickly he had answered, Tang Wan was somewhat suspicious.

The next moment, she looked toward his abdomen. “Let me see.”

As soon as she said this, Liu Shutong’s ears immediately turned red. “I’m really fine…”

Tang Wan said nothing and simply stared straight at him.

Seeing this, Liu Shutong could only avert his gaze and say, “Then go ahead and look.”

Tang Wan immediately lifted the hem of his white T-shirt.

Sure enough, the skin underneath was bright red.

“You idiot! Why would you put such hot steamed buns there? Get off the motorcycle and come inside with me. I’ll put something on it for you.” Tang Wan was both annoyed and worried about him.

Although this guy’s way of doing things was rather idiotic, she had to admit that when someone did even the most ridiculous things with genuine sincerity, it could still make people feel warm inside.

Hearing this, Liu Shutong’s eyes immediately lit up. “I can go inside?”

“Why couldn’t you? Are you afraid of meeting my parents?” Tang Wan gave him a sidelong glance.

“Of course not. It’s just that this is my first time coming to your house, and I didn’t bring any gifts. Wouldn’t that be a little inappropriate?”

“You really have thought everything through.”

“Of course. What if they get a bad impression of me, think I’m too stingy, and refuse to let you marry me? What then?” Liu Shutong hurriedly said.

As he said this, he tugged down his shirt. “Forget it, I’d better not go in. Maybe next time. I’m really fine. It only looks serious. It doesn’t actually hurt at all!”

Tang Wan hadn’t expected him to have thought that far ahead.

For a moment, she couldn’t help laughing. “Then wait here. I’ll get some burn ointment for you.”

Only then did Liu Shutong nod.

……

After returning to her room, Tang Wan put the rose into a glass of water, then found the burn ointment and went back outside.

After lifting Liu Shutong’s shirt, she squeezed out some ointment and rubbed it over his stomach.

Liu Shutong’s face instantly flushed bright red, and all the muscles in his body involuntarily tensed.

This was way too much of a reward. He seemed to be having trouble handling it.

That soft little hand was like a ball of fire, as though it were about to set him ablaze.

When Tang Wan finished applying the medicine and looked up, she saw two bright red streaks of blood beneath Liu Shutong’s nose.

Tang Wan: ???

This situation looked strangely familiar.

But she had only applied some medicine to him. Was that really enough to make him react like this?

……

“You have a nosebleed.” Tang Wan helplessly took some tissues from her pocket and handed them to him.

Hearing this, Liu Shutong awkwardly wiped away the nosebleed in a fluster.

Then, feeling guilty, he said to Tang Wan, “It’s too hot. I’m probably just feeling overheated.”
