"Nuannuan, where is Ayan? Where is he?"
Shi Nuan looked at Nianyang’s weary appearance,
"He’s in the ward next door, still not awake yet, but he’s fine now. He just needs to recuperate well. But you, your hand is injured, and your face is hurt. You’ve really taken a hit."
As soon as Nianyang heard this, she immediately lifted the blanket to get out of bed, but when her hand touched the top, she winced in pain and quickly withdrew it. Her hand was wrapped up like a bun.
Shi Nuan gasped, "Nianyang, be careful. I told you your man is fine. Take care of yourself first, then go see him."
"I’m fine. I need to see him to be at ease." Nianyang endured the pain, got out of the hospital bed, and felt a bit dizzy, as if she was floating while walking.
In the next ward, Chu Zhan was waiting inside. When he saw Nianyang, he immediately walked over, his voice filled with concern,
"Little Nian, are you okay?"
Nianyang shook her head, "I’m fine, Brother Chu. Let me stay with Ayan."
The couple wanted some privacy, so Chu Zhan tactfully left and closed the door.
Outside, he happened to see Shi Nuan coming out too, pressing her arm as she walked. Chu Zhan frowned and walked up,
"Shi Nuan, what’s wrong?"
Shi Nuan immediately released her hand and laughed freely, "I’m fine, Coach Chu."
How could Chu Zhan believe that? He quickly reached for her hand and saw a long cut with dried blood. His heart unexpectedly ached a little, "Why didn’t you say you were hurt?"
Shi Nuan awkwardly pulled her hand back, "It’s nothing, just a minor injury. Compared to Nianyang’s, it’s nothing."
Yesterday, she was with Nianyang in the earthquake zone. When the rubble fell, she got hurt too.
But at that tense moment, who would notice her?
Even she only now realized she was injured.
Of course, Shi Nuan didn’t care about such a minor injury. She had been hurt many times growing up, so what was this!
Chu Zhan looked at her with piercing eyes, "Why do you have to compare yourself to little Nian? Aren’t injuries the same for everyone? I’ll take you to get your wound treated now."
Shi Nuan immediately shook her head in refusal, "No need, it’s a small issue. Besides, it’s already healed. Just rinse it with water."
Rinse it with water?
Is this something a girl would say?
"Enough nonsense. You don’t have a say in this." Chu Zhan said domineeringly, dragging Shi Nuan to the registration desk.
Injured Shi Nuan couldn’t overpower Chu Zhan and had to be taken to see the doctor and apply medicine.
Even though she said it wasn’t necessary, it really did feel good after getting it treated.
After the doctor left, Chu Zhan glanced at her and said,
"You said you didn’t need treatment. You were close to tetanus; can’t you feel pain, girl?"
Shi Nuan chuckled, "I didn’t think it was necessary. I went through training as a child and got hurt all the time.
My family told me that getting injured was normal for an escort and not to make a fuss like a woman.
So I’m used to enduring the pain myself and have never had such proper treatment!"
Chu Zhan burst out laughing, "Woman? You are a woman, aren’t you? Do you really think you’re a man?"
Shi Nuan mumbled, "What do you know? In my family, I have no status. If I don’t act like a man, how can I manage?"
"What did you say?" Chu Zhan didn’t hear clearly; what was this girl mumbling about?
