Reboot: Mechanic

Chapter 68 Vanessa

Shi Tian held a deadpan expression despite the woman in front of him being extremely coy and barely covering her body up.

Maybe to some other men, they would definitely find this situation extremely enticing and even become horny, but Shi Tian was able to compose himself completely.

Not a hint of lust could be seen in his eyes as he stared at the woman in front of him.

"W-What is it?" Being stared at made her extremely awkward, especially when he had warned her beforehand that he wouldn't assist her if she insisted on bandaging herself.

"You're quite the shameless woman huh." Shi Tian suddenly said after staying silent for so long.

Although the context was subtle, with the intelligence of the woman, how could she not understand his meaning,

He was practically taunting her that he was right all along and at the end of the day, she still needed his assistance to bandage her chest.

After all, it was hard for her to twist around due to her injuries. The bandaging was merely a temporary treatment to stop the bleeding, but not really an effective treatment to cure her.

Biting her lips softly, she could only remain silent and wait for Shi Tian to respond properly.

Seeing her being so quiet and tame now, Shi Tian smirked. "Heh, weren't you quite the brave woman earlier? Demanding to do it yourself and look at you now. Pleading me for help."

As Shi Tian taunted further, the woman's head kept lowering, almost to the point that she was bowing down.

"Sigh, this is why you should just shut your mouth next time and stop acting tough." Shi Tian shrugged his shoulders and walked past her, heading toward the living room.

Nevertheless, he couldn't afford to let this woman bleed to death since he was still marked with an unknown object on his shoulder that was wanted by the enemy.

All he knew so far was that the enemy was a group called the White Syndicate and nothing else. If he wanted to learn more about them, then he would need this mysterious woman to talk it out.

As he made his way to the living room, Shi Tian noticed the clean couch of his was now coated in blood, most likely because of her futile attempt to bandage it up which caused more blood to drip on it.

'Ugh, had I known she would make such a mess, I would have just stayed and waited.' Shi Tian twitched his mouth, feeling heartache that the perfectly fine couch was now ruined with a bloody red color.

"What are you still standing there for? Sit up here and face your back toward me." Shi Tian instructed when he saw her standing still like a dork.

His instruction was clear and simple. At the same time, he was indicating he didn't have any intention of seeing her bare chest except for the back given that it was necessary to bandage her.

Following his instruction, the woman proceeded to sit in front of him and revealed her back. Contrary to what people might think, her back wasn't smooth or beautiful, but was instead filled with wounds and blood.

Realizing the injuries were actually more severe than he thought, Shi Tian decided to head toward the bathroom and filled a basin with warm water.

A few minutes later, he arrived back at the living room, and the woman didn't bother to question his action, merely patiently waiting for him. Maybe it was because she had been taunted or scolded quite a few times by him already that she had learned her lesson.

Instead of giving him a chance to scold her, she might as well remain quiet like a mute and stay still.

Seeing how tame and docile she was right now, Shi Tian had the urge to laugh.

'Had you behaved properly from the start, then I wouldn't have scolded you harshly.' Shi Tian thought to himself, drying up a small towel after dipping it in the warm water.

"Let me know when you feel pain," Shi Tian then said, wiping the blood off her back.

"Ugh," The woman grunted in pain when she felt the warm towel rubbing her back. She tried to hide the pain and bit her lip to suppress it, only to no avail.

"Just scream if it hurts. No need to put up a strong front when I have already seen you at your worst." Shi Tian said, letting her know that it was pointless to suppress the scream.

The apartment room was equipped with noise suppression walls anyway, so he didn't have to worry about alarming or alerting his neighbors.

With that said, the woman indeed stopped suppressing her voice and screamed in pain, though still at quite a minimal volume. It seemed to be clear that she was used to injuries and could still bear an adequate amount of pain level.

"Oh right, I haven't even gotten your name yet." Shi Tian suddenly said, hoping to distract her with some conversation. The clear towel in his hand was drenched in blood already and had to be dipped in the basin multiple times to wash off the blood.

"Just call me Vanessa." She said in a barely audible tone.

"So your name's Vanessa huh. Why did the White Syndicate attack you?"

"You don't need to know that," Vannesa said coldly.

Shi Tian nodded his head.

"You're right, I guess I really don't need to know who might take my life at any moment." He calmly said, purposely exerting a bit more force on the towel, causing her to feel more pain.

"You-"

Vanessa hissed and was about to turn her body fully around, but stopped when she saw Shi Tian flashing a lascivious glare at her.

She quickly returned to her original position and made sure to cover her chest.

"Oh? Weren't you going to turn around and curse at me again?" Shi Tian asked innocently but was grinning on the surface.

"Bastard!"

"Much appreciated for another compliment, Vanessa."
