Afterwards, she stuffed the remaining large basin of ointment into Liang Shujun’s arms. "Apply it yourselves, I’m tired from being busy all this time." "Baobao?" Liang Shujun held the basin with one hand and caught her small hand with the other, gently squeezing and caressing it, her seductive eyes full of unspoken words, a playful and coquettish look on her face. "That’s not fair, help me out, will you? You just helped Fourth Brother apply it, but not me, isn’t that biased treatment?" His eyes blinked like those of a Blood Demon on the verge of tears, his heart filled with grievance. "Err... I’m sleepy? I want to sleep?" This person had made her addicted to his teasing. She coughed, then, like a little turtle, dashed straight for the door to escape. But suddenly, she thought, "Hey? Something’s not right here!" If she went into the room, wouldn’t she have to go in later when the brothers applied the medicine? Otherwise, if she stayed outside, what if Hong Xiangjun happened to see them? In these times, it’s crucial for both men and women to be cautious—not women wary of men but men wary of women! So she immediately halted her steps, slapped her forehead hard, and came up with a lame excuse, "Ah, I just remembered, I’m not sleepy. I have something to discuss with Sister Hong, I’m going to her room!" With that, she twisted her little body and fled without looking back, her figure slipping away. Behind her, Liang Shujun stopped pretending to be delicate and instead hooked her lip up into a sly smile. She probably didn’t know. Her behavior was really—quite amusing!! Hong Xiangjun had been feeling very sleepy lately, always looking like she couldn’t wake up fully. Half-awake, she suddenly heard the sound of someone opening the door. She blinked her eyes open in a daze, only to see Sister Xiao Dong rushing into her room in a panic. She was startled, "What’s wrong, what happened?" she instinctively assumed the worst. Sister Xiao Dong was feeling rather frustrated, "Nothing’s wrong, can’t I come by if there’s no issue? Sister Hong, we’ve known each other long enough, I just wanted to foster our sisterly bond!" She blurted out some nonsense while Hong Xiangjun wore a big ’confused’ expression. Meanwhile, Liang Shujun, carrying a large basin of Scar Removal Ointment, was already calling Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother into another room. The brothers helped each other out, spreading the dark ointment all over their bodies. When she saw the bruises on Liang Haoming and Yue Ning’s bodies, Shujun recalled something. Hmm, that secret fight they had—she had to keep it quiet. Otherwise, what if Baobao found out, what if Baobao got upset? It was also fortunate that Baobao had not agreed to help him apply the medicine, or else wouldn’t the secret have been revealed? Liang Haoming’s left side was almost entirely covered with burns from a great fire, his right side also marked with scars formed after blisters had burst open. Compared to Liang Haoming, Yue Ning’s injuries were somewhat less severe, but they were still not easy to look at. As the two of them undressed, facing these two terrible bodies filled Shujun with sudden and overwhelming pity and heartache that hit her heart both heavy and hard! He caught his breath suddenly, the sight of Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother covered in scars instantly awakening those past events he wished not to remember. "Fourth Brother, help me out, I can’t reach my back?" Unaware of Third Brother’s change, Yue Ning finished applying the ointment to his upper body and legs but couldn’t reach his back, so he had to seek Fourth Brother’s help. Liang Haoming wordlessly walked over to Yue Ning, scooped out a lump of black ointment, and spread it on Yue Ning’s back, after which Yue Ning also applied a layer to Fourth Brother’s back. At that moment, Haoming suddenly noticed Third Brother as if turned to stone, standing motionless by the table. His eyebrows furrowed, and he strode towards Third Brother.
