Chapter 1322 - Scalded
Dinner was still in the dining room. The taste of the food was very good. Furthermore, the food was changed from one to the other. Even if one didn\'t eat too much, it would still be just enough to satisfy one\'s appetite.
What Yan Luo Yi loved the most was still the sweetness here. It was probably the most delicious dish she had ever eaten in her entire life.
After dinner, the path back to the room was already shrouded in darkness. Under the street lights, the surrounding garden was lush and verdant, giving one a sense of mystery and beauty.
Yan Luo Yi followed behind Pan Lixin and acted like a maid. Her footsteps were even a meter away from him.
Pan Lixin looked over a few times. She lowered her head, but could not find anything.
Suddenly, there was a sound coming from the bushes, and it was very loud, as if there was a snake inside.
"AHH!" Yan Luo Yi was so scared that she quickly hid behind the man. Pan Lixin also quickly reached out her hands to stop her and protect her.
At this moment, a little cat\'s head peeked out and meowed a few times. Moreover, this was not a wild cat, but a very pretty little Garfield.
It was stuck in the middle of the branch, as if it was entangled by the thin vine.
Pan Lixin bent over and reached out to grab the kitten that was trapped in the tree trunk out of the hole.
"This cat is so beautiful!" She had loved small animals since she was young, and she had thought of raising a cat before.
However, since she had no place and no time, she didn\'t dare to move. However, if she met a cute little animal on the way, she would always stay longer than what was good for her.
The palm-sized kitten that was nestled within Pan Lixin\'s embrace, looked extremely cute and weak when compared to its sharp height.
"You want to keep it?" Pan Lixin asked her in a low voice.
"Whose family is this?"
"The chef in the restaurant has raised one. It\'s probably a kitten that was just born a month ago! If you want to raise one, I\'ll ask him for one. " Pan Lixin said to her.
A hint of surprise flashed past Yan Luo Yi\'s eyes, "Can I raise a cat?"
"Of course." Pan Lixin smiled. She was working during the day, so if she had a cat to accompany her, he wouldn\'t let her be bored.
Pan Lixin could tell what she was thinking and she handed the little fellow in his embrace over to her. Yan Luo Yi hurriedly hugged her and reached out to caress the kitten\'s head with her hand.
"Thank you." Yan Luo Yi was really happy.
"Carry it back!" Tomorrow, I will get my assistant to bring you cat food and cat nests. " After Pan Lixin finished speaking, she took the lead to walk forward.
Yan Luo Yi hugged the kitten and followed closely behind. She had the illusion that this was not a place to work, but a warm home.
Pan Lixin said to her, "You settle the kitten first, I will go to the study room and look for you later."
Yan Luo Yi was overwhelmed by the unexpected favour.
"Thank you, Deputy."
"You can call me sir." Pan Lixin opened his mouth, lest she get tired from shouting every day.
"Yes, sir." Yan Luo Yi bashfully changed her words.
Pan Lixin headed towards the study on the first floor. Yan Luo Yi looked at the little kitten that was sleeping soundly in her arms. She also quickly headed to her room.
After playing with the little kitten for a while, Yan Luo Yi suddenly woke up.
No, she had to do something! Yan Luo Yi thought that he was working at the moment and might be thirsty. Should she make him a cup of tea?
After Yan Luo Yi finished thinking, she took a glance at the little fellow who was sleeping with his eyes closed as he pushed open the door. Arriving at the kitchen on the first floor, she tiptoed to choose the tea leaves. She didn\'t know which kind he liked to drink, so she casually picked a few leaves and poured them into the filter.
She finished the first step of washing the water, and then added another. In the exquisite cup, the fragrance of the tea slowly spread, as Yan Luo Yi carried her and walked towards the study on the first floor.
In the corridor with the gray high-grade carpet, the sound of shoes being stepped on was audible, not a single sound could be heard.
Yan Luo Yi had just reached the door and was about to knock on it, but suddenly, someone inside opened the door, shocking her and caused her to jump. "Ahh!" The fear only lasted for a second. A few strands of the scalding tea slipped out from the back of her slender hand.
Yan Luo Yi subconsciously let go of the cup. The water cup did not shatter when it fell on the ground, but her wrist was scalded red and swollen.
What Pan Lixin wanted to stop was still too late. Yan Luo Yi had yet to react.
Her other arm was grabbed by a big hand, and she was quickly dragged away by a man towards the washroom.
"Uh, cup …" Yan Luo Yi was worried that the expensive cup did not break.
Pan Lixin immediately said in a low voice, "Is the cup more important, or is your hand more important?"
In the next second, he was holding the place where Yan Luo Yi was injured, and was pouring cold water under the water cage.
"Hiss …" Yan Luo Yi let out a gasp, her skin suddenly met with cold water, making her unable to finish her sentence.
A flash of remorse passed through Pan Lixin\'s eyes. It was his sudden appearance that frightened her so much that her cup slipped off. His gaze landed on her slender wrist, and a red stain appeared on her snow-white skin.
"I\'m sorry …" Yan Luo Yi felt that she herself was useless, it was her first time making tea for him, but she had to trouble him even after getting injured.
Pan Lixin\'s gaze landed on her forehead that was covered in sweat from the pain, and his gaze softened. "It\'s fine, next time you call for me at the door, let me know."
Yan Luo Yi was startled, how could she have met such a good Deputy? His temper was so good, but the less he blamed her, the more guilty she felt.
"It\'s all my fault. I\'m sorry." Yan Luo Yi placed the blame on herself.
Pan Lixin held onto her thin, white wrist, looking at the area where her veins had already swollen, he laughed deeply, "Don\'t blame yourself, I\'ll apply some medicine on you later."
Yan Luo Yi raised her head, her warm smile reflected in her eyes, and she was stunned for a few seconds.
Under the bubbling of the cold water, the burning sensation on the back of her hands disappeared and became a lot more comfortable.
Pan Lixin faced her and said, "Go to the sofa in the study and wait for me there."
Yan Luo Yi walked to the door of the study and picked up the cup of water that had been poured away. The water on the floor had already seeped into the carpet, so she did not need to worry about slipping away, it would only take one night to get rid of her.
Yan Luo Yi bent down and squatted down to pick up the tea leaves.
Pan Lixin walked over with the medicine chest and advised in a low voice, "Don\'t pick them up, let the cleaning staff clean them up tomorrow."
Yan Luo Yi had already picked it up, she had not put in much anyway and had brewed some tea, so picking it up was not difficult at all.
She threw it in the trash and washed her hands before coming out.
Pan Lixin was squatting in front of the table, holding a box of ointment and inspecting it. In the end, he found a scalding medicine.
Yan Luo Yi rolled up her sleeves, revealing a slender arm. Compared to the man\'s big palm, her wrist seemed way too slender.
Pan Lixin reached out and held her finger, and used her other hand to rub on his finger\'s abdomen. Her warm fingers directly caused Yan Luo Yi\'s heartbeat to jump twice.
She was someone who was very slow on the emotions of others, but at this moment, the image of a man squatting down and applying medicine for her caused her face to involuntarily heat up.
In her life, apart from being intimate with her brother, she had never been close enough to speak with any other boy, not even to whisper into his ear.
Now that he was holding her hand and rubbing it over and over again, she only felt embarrassed.
Pan Lixin also tensed up slightly. The slender, white fingers in her hand, and the soft, delicate skin that she rubbed lightly against the bottom of his fingers were like those of a baby, causing a throb to flow into his eyes.
After applying the medicine, Pan Lixin said to her, "Go back and rest! "You don\'t need to come and wait on me."
Yan Luo Yi closed her eyes and watched him pack her medicine box before leaving. Only then did she realize that she was holding her breath and had hurriedly exhaled.
After Yan Luo Yi came out, she went to the kitchen to wash the cups before returning back to her room.
Yan Luo Yi saw that the little kitten had fallen asleep, so she did not disturb it. She found her pajamas to take a shower, and laid down on the soft blanket.
