Chapter 349 How do you know all this?

Shen Li turned her head, met the expectation in his eyes, and smiled gently: "Okay. Then I'll go and run some hot water for you, you can take a bath and feel more comfortable."

Lu Sheng quickly shook his head: "No need, I can do it myself."

"That's fine too."

Shen Li pointed to the inner room, "The bathroom is inside. Try to take a bath as much as possible so you can avoid getting the wounds on your shoulders and arms wet and causing them to become infected."

"Okay." Lu Sheng nodded in response.

Shen Li turned around to get a new four-piece bedding set, intending to remake the bed.

But after waiting for a long time, I still didn't hear the sound of water running in the bathroom.

She was puzzled, so she pushed open the door and went in, only to see Lu Sheng squatting by the bathtub, looking helpless and embarrassed in front of a row of buttons.

"What's wrong?" Shen Li couldn't help but laugh.

Lu Sheng looked up, a slightly embarrassed smile on his face: "I haven't stayed here for so long, I forgot how to use it."

"Let me help you." Shen Li stepped forward and skillfully turned on the bathtub. Clear water gushed into the tub, quickly filling it with warm steam.

Lu Sheng stood to the side, looking around at the room's furnishings, which were simple yet elegant, revealing Shen Li's thoughtfulness in every detail.

Shen Li made the bed and called out to him, "Big brother, come and give me a hand."

"Okay." Lu Sheng walked over quickly and helped her hold up a corner of the bed sheet.

"No one lives in this room usually, and the bedding is all new, so we'll have to replace it. But I have someone clean it every few days, so it's not dirty. I'll have someone thoroughly clean it again tomorrow," Shen Li said softly as she made the bed.

"No problem," Lu Sheng replied, but his gaze unconsciously fell on her serious profile, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.

After filling the bathtub with water, Lu Sheng turned around and prepared to take a shower.

Shen Li stepped forward and naturally reached out to unbutton his clothes: "Let me help you take off your clothes so you don't touch your wound."

Lu Sheng stiffened, hesitated for a moment, and looking at Shen Li's serious and undistracted expression, finally nodded: "Okay."

The weather in November was already chilly, but Lu Sheng was physically strong and not afraid.

Shen Li moved swiftly and decisively, removing all his clothes in a few moments, leaving not even his underwear.

Lu Sheng's face instantly turned red from his cheeks to his neck. He stood there helplessly, his eyes darting away, not daring to look at Shen Li.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go inside, aren't you cold?" Shen Li teased, suppressing a laugh.

Lu Sheng then came to his senses, hurriedly covered his front, lowered his head and crawled into the bathtub, his voice muffled: "Oh, okay, okay."

Shen Li watched his embarrassed back, and couldn't help but smile, murmuring softly, "Why has Big Brother suddenly become so naive?"

The warm water in the bathtub enveloped his body, spreading warmth throughout, and Lu Sheng's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

He looked at the scabbed wounds on his left arm and shoulder and fell into deep thought—how should he proceed in the future?

Just then, Shen Li knocked on the door, his voice urging, "Big brother, why aren't you done washing yet? The water's getting cold."

Lu Sheng snapped out of his daze and quickly replied, "It's nothing. Taking a bath is so comfortable that I accidentally stayed up a little too long."

He dared not delay any longer and quickly began to clean the wound, carefully avoiding getting the scab wet.

More than ten minutes later, he came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.

Shen Li looked up and her gaze unconsciously fell on his firm abdominal muscles. Her throat bobbed slightly, and she subconsciously swallowed.

She quickly looked away, silently reminding herself: her older brother is injured, she shouldn't have any inappropriate thoughts about him.

Lu Sheng noticed the fleeting surprise in Shen Li's eyes.

He looked down at his well-defined abs and thought to himself with admiration—Lu Sheng's body was indeed sturdy, much stronger than his own body before, at least his abs weren't as defined.

"What are you standing there for? Come here, let me help you apply the medicine." Shen Li picked up the ointment from the side, her tone returning to calm.

Lu Sheng walked over and sat down, casually asking, "Would you like to take a shower too?"

Shen Li shook her head: "No need, I already washed myself from head to toe when I came back."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lili," Lu Sheng said softly.

Shen Li picked up the ointment, gently scooped out a spoonful, and said with a hint of reproach, "When will you understand, brother? We're family, there's no need to be so polite."

"Yes, it's my fault." Lu Sheng obediently replied, his eyes full of tenderness.

Looking at the delicate and smooth ointment in the bowl, Shen Li couldn't help but secretly admire it—the ointment's effects were truly miraculous.

The wound on Lu Sheng's shoulder was originally quite large, but it healed incredibly quickly. Moreover, the scab was smooth, and after the scab fell off, the skin was almost indistinguishable from the surrounding skin, except for being slightly red. Not a single scar was left.

"Brother, your injury has healed so well! The Ming family's medicine truly lives up to its reputation!" Shen Li stared at the wound on Lu Sheng's shoulder, her tone full of admiration.

Lu Sheng lowered his eyes to look at the dressing on his shoulder, his voice low and gentle: "This medicine contains many rare medicinal herbs, all of which are priceless treasures."

Shen Li looked up, a hint of curiosity in her eyes: "Big brother, how do you know all this?"

Lu Sheng paused slightly, about to speak, but Shen Li interrupted him.

"Mingcheng must have told you!" she said confidently, a sly glint in her eyes.

Lu Sheng nodded helplessly, a faint smile appearing in his eyes: "Yes."

Shen Li carefully applied the medicine and wrapped it tightly with gauze. She patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, go put on your pajamas. I'm going back now."

As he spoke, he picked up the medicine bowl beside him and got up to leave.

Suddenly, her wrist tightened as Lu Sheng reached out and grabbed her sleeve, his voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of probing and pleading: "Tonight...would you like to rest here?"

Shen Li met the expectation in his eyes, and her heart softened. Lu Sheng asked again softly, his urgency barely concealed: "Is it alright?"

She did not hesitate for a moment.

At first, I was just thinking that he had a shoulder injury, so I planned to let him rest alone. But then I thought that we hadn’t been this close for a year, and he must be thinking of me.

Shen Li smiled and softly replied, "Okay."

Upon hearing the response, Lu Sheng stiffened for a moment, his grip on his fingers loosening slightly, clearly indicating his nervousness.

"Then let go first, I'm going to wash my face."

Lu Sheng then slowly released his grip, his gaze following her figure.

Shen Li's pajamas are still in the next room, but if she goes to get them now, she'll never be able to come back.

Lu Cheng always tries to keep Lu Zhou, but Lu Zhou's temperament is unpredictable.

She pondered for a moment, then dismissed the thought—after all, she often slept half-naked at home anyway.
