Yu Chen dropped to her knees beside Si Xia as tears began to flow from her eyes. She exclaimed, "What the hell was that?"
Si Xia stroked her head and said, "Don't be a worrywart. I'm fine."
Yu Chen wiped away her tears. Anger was now replacing worry. She thundered, "What the hell do you mean you're fine. You received so many punches and kicks, and fell down so many times. You have numerous cuts and scratches, and I'll expect some internal wounds too. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if you had a concussion."
Si Xia chuckled as he tried to get up, but failed.
Yu Chen helped him up and led him inside, scolding him all the way.
Once inside, Yu Chen dumped him on the sofa where he landed with a thud and said, "Ow."
Yu Chen turned around, hands on her hips, "Oh now you know pain. What about the time you were punched to death?"
Si Xia put up his hands in defeat, "My queen I'm fine. I'll tell you why I was doing what I was doing."
Yu Chen interupted him, "Later. Tell me first where the first aid kit is."
Si Xia pointed to a cabinet and Yu Chen walked over, saying, "I'm sure it was because you wanted to prove how manly you are. Those extra testosterone has no place to go after all. Come on, take off your shirt."
She had walked back with the kit in her hands.
Si Xia chuckled, "Are you sure you want to ask that of a man with so much extra testosterone?"
Yu Chen gave him such a deathly glare that Si Xia immediately shut up and unbuttoned his shirt. Underneath, he was wearing a black t-shirt of some hard material.
"What's this?" Yu Chen asked, touching the t-shirt.
Si Xia: "This is why I was telling you I'm fine. It's a shock absorber. The hits did no internal damage. I made sure of that before training."
Hearing this, Yu Chen calmed down a lot as she helped Si Xia remove the shock absorber and said, "I'm still mad at you. Now tell me why you were training like that? Scoot."
She began to clean Si Xia's various small cuts with a disinfectant as he said, "I vowed to protect you."
Yu Chen was surprised. She looked up, "Huh?"
Si Xia cupped her cheek with his hand and said, "I made a vow with myself to protect you. And I cannot do that if I'm not strong. I don't want to rely on bodyguards for your safety. I'll personally protect you from every danger that comes your way."
Yu Chen listened as her eyes began to well up again. She went back to cleaning Xia's wounds as she mumbled, "You don't have to go through so much trouble for that."
Si Xia held her chin and lifted her head. He said, "Yes I do." Before kissing Chen.
Yu Chen's face had turned beetroot red and she was heavily panting when Si Xia let go of her lips.
She went back to cleaning his wounds as Xia enjoyed how flustered Chen looked.
"There." Yu Chen said as she snapped the box shut.
Si Xia put on his shirt again, "Thanks. What's for breakfast?"
