The blisters from yesterday's burns were pierced open by the doctor, treated with medicine, but not bandaged.
The doctor said it was better to let the burns cool overnight before applying medicine and bandaging them.
She sat back down in the chair and allowed Qiao Zui to place his injured arm before her. Carefully, she treated his burns and applied the bandages.
She was earnest in her task, her eyes unblinking. Only her long, delicate eyelashes occasionally fluttered, gently like butterfly wings, tickling Qiao Zui's heartstrings.
Qiao Zui watched her for a while before suddenly rising from his seat.
He opened the safe and took a velvet box out of it.
After closing the safe, he returned to the bed and kneeled before Mi Sheng.
Mi Sheng looked at him, her eyes wide in surprise.
He opened the velvet box and presented a diamond ring.
Putting the box aside, he remained kneeling and held out the ring before Mi Sheng, saying, "Xiao Mi, I love you. Will you marry me?"
