Chapter 22: First Time Saving Someone

Bai Jinxi looked up and down at the legendary Prince Yi. He had sword-like brows and star-like eyes, his gaze filled with youthful energy. His nose was high and straight, his features were sharp, and his well-defined lips held a smile, as if he didn’t care about anything. Even though he was covered in mud, it didn’t detract from his heroic aura.

Looking at his mud-covered, disheveled appearance, Bai Jinxi burst out laughing. She had just been teased for her height, and while she couldn’t do anything to him, she could laugh at him!

But soon, her smile faded, and she frowned. “Come here, get in my carriage.”

“No need to trouble the young lady. My injury won’t affect my riding.” Xiao Chuyi quickly refused. Although he was considered a playboy in the eyes of others, and his words were always off-key, he had never even touched a woman’s hand!

Just now, he had been in a hurry and had let the little girl touch his leg. He could ignore that. But now, if he were to share a carriage with the little girl, it would be… too embarrassing!

“Fine, then enjoy your last ride before amputation! Banxia, Zhang Ze, let’s go.” Bai Jinxi pretended to turn and leave.

“What?! Amputation? It’s not that serious… Did you poison me?” Hearing the word “amputation,” Xiao Chuyi was genuinely startled and started talking nonsense again.

Bai Jinxi had come here to save him, so naturally, she wouldn’t really leave him alone. She had said that just to make him listen and not cause any trouble.

But when the word “poison” came out of his mouth, even though she knew he didn’t really mean it, she felt a sudden urge to just leave him there…

Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the urge to leave him there. Bai Jinxi said coldly, “If your leg wound stays in the mud for too long, it could really fester and become infected. I suggest you get in the carriage right now. I’ll help you treat it.”

“You know medicine?” Xiao Chuyi thought for a moment and decided to get in the carriage first and then see. Before stepping onto the carriage step, he asked.

Bai Jinxi ignored him. She turned and instructed Banxia and Zhang Ze to drive outside, while she went inside to bandage Xiao Chuyi’s wound.

“Miss… Your mood is a bit… volatile today. If you don’t want to, we can just ignore this.” Seeing Bai Jinxi about to get into the carriage, Banxia reached out to stop her and whispered a word of advice…

Bai Jinxi didn’t know what was wrong with her. Since she had been reborn, she hadn’t had such a big emotional fluctuation, even when facing her former enemies. It seemed like she always had a layer of separation from the people in this world, always wary of everyone…

But facing this Prince Yi, whom she had met for the first time, she had a feeling of trust and confidence. She dared to “provoke” him, and she actually did it… She had come here to find a patron, but she just didn’t want to smile falsely and respectfully at him!

Fortunately, Banxia reminded her. When she got in the carriage later, she had to change her attitude! The key to doing a favor was that the other party had to remember her kindness. If she saved him but ended up offending this royal prince because of her bad attitude, it would be a big disaster.

“I’m fine. I just haven’t encountered this kind of situation before. It’s my first time saving someone. I’m a little nervous.”

She smiled at Banxia, then bent down and got into the carriage.

“First time saving someone?” Xiao Chuyi looked at the little girl, no, the little kitten, with a smile.

This guy is eavesdropping on us! Bai Jinxi raised an eyebrow, about to retort, then suddenly thought of something and squeezed out a smile.

“Sir, this young lady is the heir to the Bai family’s pharmacy in Liangzhou City. Although this is my first time saving someone, I have read medical books thoroughly. It’s no problem for me to treat a simple wound.” Bai Jinxi put on a ladylike act.

Xiao Chuyi frowned and looked at the overly artificial little girl. Her mood changed too suddenly. He even suspected that she knew his identity. After all, those young ladies in the capital used to be so artificial when they fawned over him…

“Speak plainly, little kitten. I’ve already seen what you’re like. Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for me because I’m handsome? I won’t repay your kindness by marrying you!” Xiao Chuyi dramatically covered his chest.

This guy! Bai Jinxi couldn’t stand it anymore! Anyway, she had already saved him. He had to admit it, whether he wanted to or not. This young lady is done with you!

Bai Jinxi’s face darkened. She directly reached out and poked Xiao Chu Yi’s wound. Xiao Chuyi let out a yelp. “Little wild cat! You’re deliberately trying to hurt me!”

“Cut the cloth around your wound and expose it.” Bai Jinxi didn’t bother with him and went straight into doctor mode.

Seeing her serious expression, Xiao Chuyi stopped fooling around. He reached out and tore his trousers, which were already somewhat torn, in half.

Bai Jinxi gently washed Xiao Chuyi’s wound with the water that was always kept in the carriage. The muddy leg gradually revealed its flesh color. Fortunately, Bai Jinxi was weak, so the wound was long but not deep.

She carefully examined it, making sure that there were no leaves or dust in the wound. Then she opened a small medicine box, sprinkled some wound medicine evenly, and wrapped the wound with a bandage.

After treating the wound, Bai Jinxi stole a glance at Xiao Chuyi’s reaction… She was really serious, but looking at the uneven bandage wrapped like a dumpling, she was also really a little nervous…

“Ahem, it’s… it’s not bad, um, thank you for saving me.” Xiao Chuyi’s ears were red, and he awkwardly thanked her again.

The carriage fell into an awkward silence.

“Sir, what about your horse?” Zhang Ze was about to drive back to the city when he suddenly remembered that the young man’s white horse was still unattended.

“It’s fine. You just drive. Zhuifeng will follow.” A clear and pleasant voice came from inside the carriage…

The carriage drove for a while. At first, they could still hear the young man’s cries of pain, but then there was no sound.

Banxia listened for a while and finally couldn’t help but discuss with Zhang Ze, “Zhang Ze, who do you think that Prince Chu is? He’s really handsome!”

Hearing her question, Zhang Ze’s body stiffened. He looked at Banxia with a wooden expression and replied, “He must be the son of a wealthy family. The gems on his dagger are top-notch. They must be worth a lot. You… you’re not suitable for him.”

Banxia thought his analysis was normal at first, but when she heard the last sentence, she was furious. Her eyebrows flew up.

“You, Zhang Ze, what do you think I am! I don’t have those kinds of feelings for him! I just think… I think… Sigh, you wouldn’t understand.”

Actually, Banxia found it strange. It seemed like her young mistress knew this person was here and had come here specifically for him.

This morning, before they got in the carriage, her young mistress had even specifically instructed her to bring the medicine box…

Sigh, never mind. If the sky falls, I’ll hold it up with my young mistress. Whatever she wants to do, I’ll just help her!

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage drove into Liangzhou City. Bai Jinxi sent Xiao Chuyi to the door of Renxin Hall and told him to go inside and find Master Puzhi.

Before they parted, Xiao Chuyi made an appointment with her to have dinner at Qiao’s Restaurant in seven days.
