Jing Yue felt a little strange and stared at Ning Xiangyuan. Meanwhile, Xiao Chen, who was still holding Jing Yue, passed Ning Xiangyuan and went out of the school. Jing Yue frowned and guessed that Yuanyuan must still be a bit muzzy from the coma and didn’t notice her.
With these thoughts in mind, Jing Yue had no more weird feeling and felt much better.
“Ouch… It’s painful…” cried Jing Yue out of pain as Xiao Chen carried Jing Yue to the carriage and accidentally touched the burns on Jing Yue’s foot.
Xiao Chen frozen for a moment and then carefully lifted Jing Yue’s foot. His face turned gloomy and his chest heaved violently as if to blow up at any time when he saw her severely burnt skin, which scared Jing Yue who had just sit down.
“Xiao Chen, someone set the fire.” Jing Yue said with her lips pursed.
“I know.” Xiao Chen sat down and urged the servants outside to drive the carriage to his mansion.
“You knew it already?” Jing Yue was slightly shocked and looked up at Xiao Chen, “Do you know who set the fire?”
“We haven’t found the culprit, but I divined it once I got the news that someone was planning to hurt you. Still, I was late.” Xiao Chen said to Jing Yue with a trace of guilt in his eyes.
“Damn it, can’t these people just stop for a while!?” Jing Yue felt somehow angry. She looked at the wound on her ankle and continued, “It was also my fault to be so careless, but I didn’t expect them to drug me. Apparently, they wanted me dead.”
“Don’t worry. I will find out the culprit.” Xiao Chen slowly took a breath to calm his rage and said in a deep voice.
“Once I find out the guy, I’ll let him pay for it!” Jing Yue said coldly.
“You’d better first figure out a way to cure your burn.” Xiao Chen pointed to the burnt skin on Jing Yue’s foot and smiled faintly after noticing Jing Yue had become active again.
“Xiao Chen, you are so awesome, then you must have some way to heal it, right?” Jing Yue expectantly looked at Xiao Chen with eyes twinkling, which delighted him a lot. He just couldn’t find a more pleasurable thing than being praised by his beloved girl.
“It’s a piece of cake.” Xiao Chen smiled.
“I knew that you can!” Jing Yue looked at Xiao Chen, wearing joys in her eyes and a big smile on her face.
“But,” Xiao Chen gently said a word that suddenly frozen the smile on Jing Yue’s face.
“But what?” Jing Yue blinked.
“But how will you take the etiquette assessment on the fifth day while your foot is burnt like this?” Xiao Chen peered at Jing Yue.
“Oh my!” Being reminded of the assessment time, Jing Yue glared her in surprise. She rolled her eyes with traces of craftiness flashing by and asked, “Xiao Chen, you are so capable that you can definitely cure it in five days, right?”
“Oh, come on.” Xiao Chen leaned back and said casually, “Even if Doctor Miracle from Ghost Valley came to help you, you couldn’t recover within just five days.”
“Really!?” Jing Yue suddenly turned a sad face and asked Xiao Chen, “What should I do?”
“Just take the assessment in the second half of the year.” Xiao Chen responded casually.
“No way!!!” Jing Yue stared at Xiao Chen in exasperation, “I can’t bear the terrible place any more. Staying there for a single day can be torturous enough, not to mention another half a year, you may as well kill me!”
