Lin Zhengran knocked her on the head. Xiao Heqing let out an "Ah!" and clutched her head with both hands.
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Lin Zhengran said. "For the past half-month, you've been acting like you're half-asleep. Plus, every time you talk to me, you're all sneaky. It's obvious you're deliberately hiding something from me."
"No..." she said, looking extremely guilty. But suddenly remembering her promise to Lin Zhengran that she would never lie to him again, she hastily changed her tune. "Well, not exactly no... yes, oh wait, no! Yes... boohoo."
Watching her split personality act, Lin Zhengran scooped out a bit of ointment and tried to spread it evenly over her ankle with his hand.
The touch of his warm palm and the ice-cold ointment made Xiao Heqing instantly let out a tiny whimper. Embarrassed, she immediately clamped both hands tightly over her mouth, her little face flushed red as she tried to stop herself from making another sound.
