Lu Zhan heard the noise and looked over, his expression froze.
Fan Shengnan turned around and saw Shao Jingque standing at the door in amazement. She was stunned for two seconds before she quickly stood up and retracted her hand, looking embarrassed.
"Jingque, don't misunderstand me. We were just talking about the Mengshan battlefield. Captain Lu mentioned that the wound he received back then still hurts a little on rainy days. I suspect I didn't handle it properly when I sutured it, so I asked Captain Lu to let me take another look and check if there's anything wrong."
Shao Jingque's eyes fell on Lu Zhan's exposed shoulder blade, and sure enough, he saw a palm-wide scar between the shoulder blade and the chest, with suture marks on it that were one degree lighter than the skin color. From the smoothness of the wound, it could be seen that the sutures were done very carefully.
When Lu Zhan saw her eyes fall on his half-exposed shoulder, his face felt hot unconsciously. He subconsciously gathered up his collar and buttoned it up in two moves.
But little did he know that in Shao Jingque's eyes, his actions had nothing to do with shyness, but were instead naked disgust, avoidance and differential treatment.
how?
Dr. Fan can see it, but she can’t?
Shao Jingque frowned slightly. As a woman, her sixth sense told her that Dr. Fan's panic at this moment was a little strange.
It is normal for a doctor to examine a patient's wound. Even if he is caught by the family, he will not immediately tell her not to misunderstand. Explaining in such a hurry will make people feel guilty.
There was some doubt between her brows, and she looked straight at Fan Shengnan:
"Have you finished checking it now? Is there anything wrong with that old wound?"
Fan Shengnan clearly felt that Shao Jingque's tone was a bit stiff at this moment.
She was secretly annoyed in her heart. There was obviously nothing wrong, so why did she act like a guilty thief, which aroused suspicion?
She shook her head honestly, and looked back to see that Lu Zhan had already buttoned his clothes. His movements were so fast that it seemed as if they had just done something shameful. She said with increasing embarrassment:
"Not yet. I was just about to check when you came in..."
When Shao Jingque heard this, she burst out laughing. It turned out that only Dr. Fan could see Lu Zhan's shoulder, and she couldn't.
Otherwise, why did Lu Zhan button up her clothes without checking her as soon as she entered the door?
"How about I go out first and you guys continue the inspection?"
Fan Shengnan had never encountered such an embarrassing situation in her life. She could hear that Shao Jingque's tone was obviously unhappy, so how could she be so stupid as to make trouble for everyone at this time.
"No, it's an old injury and there's no rush. I still have to make rounds in other wards. I'll check again next time I come."
After she finished speaking, she walked out. When she passed Shao Jingque, she opened her mouth, wanting to explain but didn't know where to start, so she could only lower her head and leave first.
By the time they were the only two left in the ward, Lu Zhan had already returned to his usual icy expression.
Originally, Shao Jingque was used to this, but after hearing him laughing heartily with others, he felt a little unbalanced.
She put the examination report on his bedside table with a stern face, picked up the thermos and walked out without saying a word.
After a while, she came back with hot water, poured a cup and placed it on his bedside as usual, then without saying a word, she started to pack up the things in the cabinet, making a clanging sound.
It was time to take the medicine. Lu Zhan glanced at Shao Jingque, who was still sulking, raised his hand to take out the medicine from the drawer, picked up the water and took a sip.
"puff!"
The boiling water in the cup almost burned his tongue!
When Shao Jingque heard the noise, she was not nervous as usual. Instead, she pouted and turned back to glare at him angrily, wrinkled her nose and snorted, pretending not to see Lu Zhan's expression of being scalded.
He deserves it! Who told him to treat people differently?
Lu Zhan was originally very angry and felt that Shao Jingque was deliberately making trouble for him.
But seeing her red face and her angry look as she turned around and glared at him, her "the bad guy complaining first" look almost made him laugh.
He felt that he must be out of his mind, as he actually thought she looked a little... cute?
He thought Shao Jingque would not be able to resist and would chat with him like usual after a while, but who knew that after she packed up her things, she would lie back on the bed, curled up with her back to him, and said nothing.
Is she losing her temper?
Lu Zhan felt a little strange. Wasn’t he the one who was scalded by the boiling water?
He is not angry, so what is Shao Jingque angry about?
He frowned and pondered for a while, but couldn't figure it out. He couldn't help but ask:
"Are you angry?"
But Shao Jingque suddenly jumped up from the bed like a puppet with a switch on, staring at Lu Zhan with angry eyes, and his little mouth kept talking like a machine gun:
"Yes! That's right! I'm just angry!"
"I always thought you wouldn't laugh, but I just heard you laughing out loud outside the door! So you keep a straight face every day just for me?!"
"Just do the checkup, why did you button up your clothes the moment I walked in? What can doctors see but family members can't?!"
"Why do you treat me and Dr. Fan differently?!"
She was not the type of person who would be bullied. In order to avoid a conflict with Lu Zhan and avoid irritating him, she had been holding it in for a long time and was already exhausted.
When Lu Zhan asked her this, she couldn't help but immediately ignite like a firecracker and pour out all the grievances in her heart.
But what she said was completely beyond Lu Zhan's expectations. He didn't think she was angry about these things at all. He just felt that her anger came for no reason, and his face suddenly turned cold:
"It's my freedom to laugh when I want to and to not laugh when I don't want to. If you don't want to see my face, you don't have to. It's your freedom!"
"I'm sure Dr. Fan is a doctor, but I'm not sure who you are. You're not a family member to me now, you're just a stranger. That's the difference!"
…
"Just a stranger."
These words deeply hurt Shao Jingque's heart. Was it her fault that he forgot her?
At this moment, she felt as if a knife was cutting through her throat, and every word she said was painful:
"My freedom? Weren't you the one who insisted that I be responsible for you? Now you say I have the freedom to leave? Are you sure?"
Lu Zhan frowned, thinking Shao Jingque was just talking nonsense again. How could a grown man like him possibly ask her to be responsible for him?!
"I'm sure! You can leave anytime you want, I won't stop you!"
Shao Jingque could no longer bear the grievance in her heart, so she stood up and rushed out the door. If she had been any later, she would have cried out loud in front of Lu Zhan.
Lu Zhan's throat choked, and a trace of regret suddenly flashed across his eyes.
He subconsciously straightened his waist, only to realize that he couldn't even get up and hold her. He could only clench his fists in frustration and pound them on the edge of the bed.
