"How are you feeling now? Besides the external injuries that need time to heal, do you have any feeling in your legs?" Su Yueya asked, knowing that the leg injury was the most serious.
"A little! Dr. Liu said that it's fortunate you reacted quickly, otherwise my leg would be ruined. It's just that the feeling isn't very obvious yet, and we have to take it slowly..."
“Yes, you need to be patient when you recover from an injury. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Since you broke it, you need to be even more careful. As for the scars on your body, don’t worry too much. There are ways to treat them. They may not be able to fully recover, but they can be lessened…” Su Yueya said.
She didn't give a definitive answer, leaving some things unsaid.
If Zhou Jinglan and her sister had no future together, she wouldn't meddle. But if he were her future brother-in-law, that would be a different story.
He must be cured!
Having the experience of removing scars from Lu Zhengjun, there shouldn't be much of a problem if I were to treat Zhou Jinglan.
In addition, Qiaorentang is now also selling scar removal cream, although it's limited, but it wouldn't be unreasonable to give Zhou Jinglan a special treatment.
"The scar issue has been resolved. I heard that a soldier was injured during a mission and was covered in scars, but he was cured by a scar removal cream! I asked around and found out it's from Qiaorentang. My comrade has already bought me a bottle."
The two sisters: "..."
They moved quite quickly.
Zhou Jinglan was seriously injured, and they were not related by blood. A simple visit was sufficient; it was not appropriate for him to stay in someone else's hospital room for too long.
After inquiring about Zhou Jinglan's health, Su Yueya and Qiao Xinruo decided to leave.
And that's when the real show begins.
"In that case, you should take good care of yourself. We'll be leaving now," Su Yueya said.
“Okay! Once I recover, I will definitely take the initiative to thank you both.” Zhou Jinglan said again.
Su Yueya was about to leave when she realized that her shoelaces were untied.
"Xinruo, my shoelaces are untied, could you tie them for me?" Su Yueya said.
Zhou Jinglan found it strange when she heard this. After all, judging from the conversation just now, this Dr. Su didn't seem to be the type to boss others around. Why would she let her sister tie her shoelaces?
Su Yueya explained "just right": "I'm heavily pregnant, so it's really inconvenient for me to bend over."
He then realized that he had been overthinking things.
"Sister, step back a little," Qiao Xinruo said.
They stood by the hospital bed, but the space was limited, making it inconvenient for Qiao Xinruo to squat down—actually, it was to adjust the angle so that Zhou Jinglan could see Qiao Xinruo's neck accurately after she squatted down.
Therefore, Qiao Xinruo specially wore her hair down today, parted it into two sections, and swept it in front of her chest, which exposed her neck.
She even wears collarless clothes, just in case she's afraid of hiding her birthmark.
"Okay." With that, Su Yueya took a step back.
Then Qiao Xinruo squatted down and tied her sister's shoelaces.
Her fair neck was thus naturally revealed, and happened to be within Zhou Jinglan's line of sight—
Su Yueya prayed silently, hoping he would see it!
Don't miss it!
To allow enough time, Qiao Xinruo tied the knot very slowly.
Zhou Jinglan knew that it was impolite to stare at the two sisters at this time. Just as he was about to look away, he noticed Qiao Xinruo's exposed neck and the birthmark on it.
Zhou Jinglan: "!!!"
birthmark!
Because his head was wrapped in bandages, Zhou Jinglan couldn't make any facial expressions, but the moment he saw the birthmark, his eyes widened unconsciously in shock.
Why does this birthmark look so familiar?
Moreover, it's in this special location!
Some images flashed through Zhou Jinglan's mind.
On the overgrown path, a little goddess with pigtails, dressed like a New Year's picture doll, walked resolutely outwards, carrying herself on her back.
He remembered the smell of the air that day, the gradually darkening sky, the two little braids that "hopped and skipped," the voice of the little goddess, and the birthmark that kept swaying in front of him.
The image seems to overlap with this moment; at least, the shapes of the two birthmarks overlap.
how so?
Zhou Jinglan was so shocked that his throat felt like it was glued shut, and he couldn't make a sound.
Su Yueya had been observing Zhou Jinglan's expression the moment her sister squatted down to tie her shoelaces, and seeing this, she knew he must have seen it.
He not only saw it, but he also reacted.
It seems they must have sensed something...
As for how Zhou Jinglan would react, Su Yueya had no idea.
Ignore it?
Or is this an inquiry?
The gamble was on Zhou Jinglan's choice. Only if Zhou Jinglan asked would they have a chance to speak and thus expose Leng Yinghong's impersonation.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to bring up the topic of birthmarks appropriately.
This is the solution Su Yueya came up with. It's not foolproof, but it's definitely worth taking the gamble.
Therefore, after Qiao Xinruo quickly tied her shoelaces, she did not stand up immediately, but maintained the squatting posture and continued to expose the birthmark on her neck.
She felt something was off; it was as if the exposed skin was burning hot.
This awkward feeling made her regret it a little.
Once Su Yueya was sure Zhou Jinglan had seen her, she gently shifted her feet, signaling to her sister that she could stand up.
"It's tied up," Qiao Xinruo said, standing up.
She felt a sense of relief, as if what had been exposed was not only her birthmark, but also something more private.
“Okay,” Su Yueya nodded, then looked at Zhou Jinglan, “Then we’ll be going now. You can take your time to recover.”
After saying that, the two sisters turned around and prepared to leave.
Su Yueya: "..."
Why is there still no response?
He clearly saw it, and he looked very shocked!
Could it be that Leng Yingying made a mistake?
Just as the two sisters were slowly and reluctantly leaving the ward—
"Please wait a moment!" Zhou Jinglan quickly called out, stopping the two sisters who were almost at the door.
Because her back was to Zhou Jinglan, Su Yueya playfully winked at her younger sister.
She mouthed, "It's done."
Turning around, Su Yueya asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong? Comrade Zhou, is there anything else?"
Zhou Jinglan: "..."
He had a thousand words surging in his throat, but when he was about to speak, he didn't know where to begin. He stared blankly at the two sisters, especially Qiao Xinruo.
Qiao Xinruo: "..."
Is this guy an idiot? Why isn't he saying anything? How are they supposed to keep up this act?
"If there's nothing else, we'll be going now," Qiao Xinruo said, turning to leave.
"No!" Zhou Jinglan quickly said.
He knew he had to say something to keep them there and to dispel their doubts, but he had to think about how to say it without offending them.
