Chapter 3 Shattered Glass
The wine bottle smashed on the floor and shattered instantly.
I worried someone would step on the pieces, so I reached out to pick them up.
The flickering lights made me careless. My finger got cut.
Blood dripped onto the floor. Shen Yizheng did not look over.
After I finished picking up the large shards, I stood and walked to the bathroom.
I turned on the faucet and washed my bleeding finger, watching the blood mix with the water.
When it finally stopped bleeding, I turned around. A band-aid appeared in front of me.
I followed the cute wrapper upward. It was Lanxi.
"I saw your finger was injured."
Lanxi pushed the band-aid toward me again. "Shall I help you put it on?"
Her gaze rested on my reddened wound.
When I did not speak, she opened the band-aid herself.
Her cool fingers touched the back of my hand. I looked up and realized how close we were.
So close I could smell her shampoo.
"All done."
Lanxi looked up too. We saw each other's reflections in our eyes.
