Chapter 253: Chapter 253: Helping Him Apply Medicine

Li Beijue didn’t see anything wrong with spending over 2,ooo on candy; by the time he was five, he had been exposed to amounts far beyond a mere 2,000 or 20,000.

However, in front of the kindergarten teacher, he still knew to be perfunctory, “Mhm, I understand.”

Xu Lulu, seeing his cooperation, felt embarrassed to continue. She stealthily glanced at the man’s profile, worried about being caught, quickly withdrew her gaze, and said, “Alright, that’s all I wanted to say. You can take Chi Jingchen back, let him have a good rest today.”

“Mhm.”

Li Beijue took his long legs back to the office.

In the office, Chi Jingchen wished he had an extra eye to see what was happening outside. Seeing him come in, Little Bae Chi blinked his red phoenix eyes and then observed Xu Lulu entering after. Seeing Xu Lulu’s shy demeanor, his little heart steadied.

“Let’s go,” Li Beijue said as he bent down to pick him up again.

This was the first time Chi Jingchen had been held by a young man like this, and it felt strange, like how it feels to be held by a father. He turned his head, pretending it was nothing, and said goodbye to Xu Lulu, “Teacher Loulou, goodbye.”

“Mhm, see you tomorrow.”

Xu Lulu waved her hand, watching as the tall and the small figure left…

Outside, in the Land Rover.

Li Beijue opened the car door and placed the little one inside.

The Land Rover, an SUV model, had ample space inside. Sitting inside, Chi Jingchen, a tiny person, had more than enough space. Li Beijue followed suit, got in, and closed the car door behind him.

The leather sofa seat was soft in the car. Seeing him come in, Chi Jingchen asked curiously, “Uncle Li, aren’t you driving?”

Li Beijue, knowing the car well, opened the car wall and took out a simple military medical kit from the drawer. He said to Chi Jingchen, “Sit tight; stretch out your arm.”

“My arm?” Only then did Chi Jingchen notice the wound on his arm, and the scratched area started to throb and tingle with pain and itchiness.

Li Beijue grabbed his arm and skillfully took out disinfectant alcohol and a cotton swab from the medical kit. He poured the alcohol on the cotton swab and began to disinfect the area around the wound. His thin lips formed a straight line, reminding him, “It might hurt a bit in a moment, just bear with it. Once I’ve finished applying the medication, I’ll take you to the Amusement Park.”

“Really?”

No matter how clever Chi Jingchen was, he was still a five-year-old child, and candy and toys were irresistible to children.

Li Beijue captured the joy in his eyes, his falcon-like eyes growing intense. With a husky voice, he promised, “Really.”

Chi Jingchen obediently sat still, “Go ahead, apply the medicine. I’m not afraid of the pain.”

Children have much weaker resistance than adults; what might seem like a minor injury to an adult could cause major issues for a child. Li Beijue understood this and forced himself to pour the alcohol on the little guy’s arm.

Despite saying he wasn’t afraid of the pain, Chi Jingchen’s small face contorted with pain at the crucial moment.

But he stayed strong and didn’t make a sound.

He wasn’t like other children, for whom applying alcohol might seem tougher than climbing to heaven, and who might cry their eyes out once it was done.

Li Beijue didn’t coddle him, and his method of treating the wound was rough and unsophisticated. Fortunately, Chi Jingchen wasn’t an average child and could handle this rough treatment.

After disinfecting the wound, Li Beijue applied Erythromycin to prevent an infection.. Once everything was squared away, Baby Chi took the initiative to ask, “Uncle Li, do you have a Band-Aid in the car?”
