Chapter 252 He was so nervous

Did she think he was dead?

The pain at her fingertips made Su Xingyue's small face crinkle.

When she got scalded just now, she didn't feel much, but now the scalded area started to hurt.

"I didn't expect it to be so hot," she said in a soft breath, then innocently added.

Nan Yuling glanced at her, said nothing more, and dragged her into the kitchen.

He turned on the faucet and held her hand under the running water, washing the scalded area with cold water.

The cool tap water continuously flowed over her fingers, alleviating the pain instantly.

The coolness of the water, and the warmth of his palm... created a striking contrast.

Su Xingyue paused for a moment, then subconsciously turned her head to look at the man standing behind her.

His handsome face was filled with concentration, looking at her fingers.

His reaction left her somewhat surprised.

It was just a small scald, yet he seemed so anxious.

Was he... feeling sorry for her?
