Long Aixi had been bedridden and focused on healing ever since he was injured by Niu Shan. In the days that followed, he never left the house, choosing instead to stay in bed.
Ye Ge was particularly sympathetic towards Long Aixi and had prepared some top-notch bruise medicine for him. It was best applied many times a day. Sometimes, when Ye Ge was out in the fields, he'd have Xia Dabao apply it to Long Aixi.
Ye Ge said that Long Aixi was wounded because of Xia Dabao, so Xia Dabao had the obligation to assist.
That afternoon, just like always, after Xia Dabao finished cutting the grass, he went to check on Long Aixi.
"Xiao'ai, how are you feeling?" Xia Dabao pushed the door open and saw Long Aixi reading in bed.
It was a book borrowed from Ye Ge to alleviate his boredom.
"I'm much better," Long Aixi put down the book and looked at Xia Dabao. "The pain has lessened. I think I can get out of bed and move around by tomorrow."
