Seeing Tang Xian's humble and elegant demeanor, Reese felt somewhat ashamed. She had always harbored prejudice against wealthy young men, but Tang Xian hadn't done anything excessive to her. In comparison, he was much kinder than Bai Xu.
She sipped her hot tea, worrying about how to repay Tang Xian and how to get through the night. If her uncle or the housekeeper saw her like this, it wouldn't be good for her mother.
"Here's some medicine for you; it's very effective at reducing swelling."
Tang Xian brought over a medicine box filled with cotton balls, gauze, rubbing alcohol, and many other medications. Ruixi took the ointment, somewhat surprised; how did Tang Xian manage to have so many medical supplies for treating external injuries?
“I know what you’re thinking, but these things aren’t for me.” Tang Xian sat down next to Reese with a smile. “I have a friend who’s a real troublemaker. He used to get into fights all the time, and when he got hurt, he’d come to me. You met that guy this morning, his name is Bai Xu.”
So these things belonged to Bai Xu; it seems they were good friends. Reese stared blankly at the ointment, wondering how she had suddenly gotten involved with the two princes at school.
"Let me help you apply the medicine." Tang Xian saw that Reese was in a daze, so he kindly opened the ointment and applied it to her face. He carefully and gently applied it so as not to hurt her. The cool sensation was very comfortable, and Reese felt that her face was not so swollen and painful anymore.
"This medicine is very effective, thank you." Reese was genuinely grateful to Tang Xian; he was the first wealthy young master she had ever met who treated her with kindness.
"Of course it works. After using this medicine, the swelling will basically subside overnight. My friend has tried many kinds, and this one is the most effective." Tang Xian smiled charmingly, put the medicine box away, and returned it to its original position.
Reese hesitated for a moment as she watched his retreating figure before finally asking, "Excuse me, could I stay here for the night? My mother will worry if I go home like this."
If she went back to the hospital this late, she would only be able to sleep on the floor, and Meizi might not even welcome her. She was in a difficult situation and couldn't care less about saving face or dignity. Tang Xian seemed like a very easy person to talk to, and she couldn't think of anyone else she could ask for help.
"Sure, I'm going home soon. You can sleep in my bedroom, I'll change your sheets." Tang Xian readily agreed. He could tell the girl was in trouble, as if she'd gotten into some kind of problem. Besides, letting her stay for the night wasn't a big deal.
"No need, I can sleep on the sofa. I'm only staying for one night, so you don't need to go to all that trouble."
"It's alright, a maid comes to tidy up every two days, it's no trouble for me." Tang Xian smiled and went to his room to pack his things. Seeing how polite he was, Ruixi felt a pang of regret. She shouldn't have asked this young master to do things for her; she wasn't worthy.
Reese stood helplessly in the living room, feeling incredibly shameless. If it were Bai Xu, at least she would have paid the price with her body. But Tang Xian hadn't asked her for anything, and had even given her so much money. All she had done was lie naked on the sofa downstairs for two hours, and Tang Xian hadn't touched her once. He felt absolutely no desire for her.
When Tang Xian came out, he saw Reese's bewildered and panicked look, and his heart suddenly clenched. The girls he had met before were all rich girls, and his classmates at school were at least from modest families. That day, while painting in the woods, he suddenly saw a girl sitting in a tree singing, and for a moment he thought she was a fairy in the form of an oriole.
Cheng Ruixi possessed a wild quality, a blend of simplicity, naturalness, allure, and mystery. She embodied many facets of herself he had never seen before. Now that this girl was hurt, he felt a pang of sympathy, but reason reminded him not to meddle. Providing her with a temporary refuge was already the limit of his ability.
He noticed the bag she had placed on the table and asked, "Did you bring a change of clothes?"
"No... By the way, do you know where I can get my silk clothes washed?" Reese assumed Tang Xian would know the area well. "This dress has blood on it, and I just can't get it out..."
"My clothes are all taken to be washed by the maid, so I don't know anything about them."
"Yeah, how could someone like Tang Xian have the chance to do his own laundry?" Reese laughed self-deprecatingly; she'd asked the wrong person.
But Tang Xian said enthusiastically, "Let me take a look for you. I often get my clothes dirty when I paint. I think I have some special laundry detergent here."
"No need, I can wash myself," Reese quickly stopped him.
"Oh, that works too. The washing machine is in the bathroom downstairs. You can rest well today, and I'll take you down to try it out tomorrow."
"Yes, thank you. I owe you so much."
Tang Xian patted Reese's head and said with a smile, "Don't mention it. You're my junior, so it's only right for a senior to take care of a junior. Besides, you agreed to be my model, so I should be thanking you."
Tang Xian gave a few instructions and left, leaving Reese alone, unsure how to bring up quitting her modeling job. Having no other option, she made a phone call, lying to her mother that she was staying at the hospital to sleep with Meizi. Cheng Jiayi was also worried, but she trusted Reese and didn't suspect anything, simply telling her to be careful.
After showering, Reese picked up the ointment Tang Xian had placed on the table and applied it again. Still wearing Mei Zi's clothes, she lay on the bed in the bedroom, forced to lie on her right side because of the pain in her face. Exhausted from the day's events, she fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
When she woke up again, it was already ten o'clock in the morning; she had slept for a full twelve hours. After washing up in the bathroom in her bedroom, Reese saw that the marks on her face were almost invisible, and she left the room to go home. Tang Xian, however, was waiting for her in the living room with an apologetic smile.
Did you sleep well?
"fine thanks."
Reese hadn't expected Tang Xian to arrive so early, though it wasn't actually that early. She just assumed that kids from wealthy families like theirs would enjoy weekend parties and wouldn't get up this early.
She planned to say goodbye to Tang Xian and go home, but Tang Xian stopped her.
"Um..." Tang Xian said somewhat awkwardly, "When I came over this morning, I saw you were still asleep. So I took it upon myself to take your skirt to the laundry downstairs to wash. But I forgot that silk clothes can't be machine washed, and I ruined your skirt. I'm sorry."
Reese never expected Tang Xian to do her laundry. Now that the clothes are ruined, she doesn't feel bad at all, just saying it's okay.
