Chapter 101 - An Injured Person Is Not Punished

Sheng Li looked at Ying Lili. "I will apply the medicine on your foot," Sheng Li said as he forwarded his hand.

"It's fine. You do not need to trouble yourself," Ying Lili replied. Sheng Li did not listen to her and grasped her foot. "If you need to go out tomorrow evening, then you need to recover fast," Sheng Li pronounced.
