Originally, Tang Chen had prepared meticulously.
For example, he had prepared a full set of protective face masks and gloves.
However, he never expected that Di Li Re Ba would actually wear a pair of short-waisted socks.
Her calves and ankles were not adequately protected, allowing the bees patrolling outside to find an opening.
It was now late at night, and most of the other female stars were asleep.
Only Liu Shi Shi's tent still had a small nightlight on, probably because she had just returned and hadn't gone to bed yet.
Re Ba didn't dare move in Tang Chen's arms, her big, watery eyes fixed on him.
Tang Chen lifted her tent flap and gently placed her on the mat.
"Thank you, Captain…"
Re Ba's face flushed slightly, her voice as soft as a mosquito's whisper.
Tang Chen glanced at her and said, "Wait here for me for a while, I'll go back and get the medical kit!"
"Hmm…"
Re Ba responded with a nod, looking incredibly docile.
Tang Chen returned to his quarters to get the medical kit. Just as he was about to return to Re Ba, he ran into Yang Mi waiting outside.
"Yang Mi?" Tang Chen looked her up and down, questioning, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Captain, I can't sleep…"
Yang Mi pouted, "I heard you come back, and I was going to come out to find you. But then…"
Pausing, Yang Mi continued, "I saw you carry Re Ba into the tent!"
"Huh?" Tang Chen was taken aback. Shrugging, he replied, "Your eyesight is pretty good! Re Ba got stung by bees, her leg hurts so bad she can't walk, so I had to carry her back to the tent!"
"Oh…"
Seeing the medical kit in Tang Chen's hand, Yang Mi finally understood. With a concerned look, she asked, "Is Re Ba alright?"
"She's fine, just got stung twice by bees." Tang Chen told her, "However, the wild bees on this island are more potent than ordinary bees, so I need to treat her."
"Okay, Captain, do you need help?" Yang Mi looked up and asked.
She also felt a bit concerned about Re Ba after hearing about her injury.
"No, take care of your own injuries first." Tang Chen looked at her feet, questioning, "How is your foot?"
Yang Mi moved her ankle and said to Tang Chen, "It's much better, thanks to the Captain for treating me!"
"That's good!" Tang Chen nodded, "Rest well in the camp tomorrow and don't wander around. Remember to come find me for a medicine change tonight!"
"Yes, Captain!"
Yang Mi smiled, a sweet smile on her face.
She had been a little jealous because of Re Ba earlier.
Now, hearing Tang Chen's warm words, her heart blossomed again.
When Tang Chen returned to Re Ba's tent with the medical kit, she was already asleep.
Maybe she was exhausted from a night of activities, but Re Ba was sleeping soundly.
Tang Chen couldn't bear to wake her up. He carefully lifted her leg and, using the dim light from the tent, observed her injuries.
Fortunately, it was just wild bees, not hornets.
If she had been stung twice by hornets, Re Ba probably wouldn't be sleeping so soundly.
Tang Chen opened the medical kit, took out the tweezers, and after locating the stinger, he used the tweezers to pull it out.
"Ouch…"
Re Ba woke up from her sleep, startled.
When she saw Tang Chen sitting in front of her, she relaxed, "Captain? Sorry, did I fall asleep?"
"It's okay, I pulled out the stingers for you!"
Tang Chen took a sea-shell container filled with royal jelly from his pocket and said to Re Ba, "You're lucky, I just happened to gather some royal jelly. Apply it to the wound, and the swelling should subside by tomorrow morning!"
"Thank you, Captain…" Re Ba bit her lip, "It's all my fault, I knew I was going to gather honey but I forgot to change my socks!"
Tang Chen applied some royal jelly to her wound and said with a smile, "Alright, a lesson learned. You'll remember next time!"
"Hmm, I won't dare again…"
Re Ba sat up, nodding vigorously.
Seeing that she was drowsy, Tang Chen picked up the medical kit and said, "The stingers are out, there's nothing urgent for now. You should get some rest, we'll talk tomorrow!"
"Okay…"
Re Ba responded, then raised her head and asked, "By the way, Captain, when you carried me just now, no one saw, right?"
"What, you're shy now?" Tang Chen looked at her with amusement, "You're injured, don't worry about those details!"
Re Ba blushed slightly, shaking her head, "I don't really care about that, I'm just worried that Mi Mi Jie and the others will misunderstand…"
She chuckled bitterly, "Captain, I can tell, Mi Mi Jie's attitude towards you is different. The way she looks at you, it's like she's about to melt…"
She was the first to meet Yang Mi, so she knew her personality best.
From the time she knew Yang Mi until now, this was the first time she had seen her with this kind of look.
"Ah?"
Hearing Re Ba's words, Tang Chen was stunned.
