Chapter 26 Die together!
◎Don't worry, I'm worried about you too.◎
After a series of examinations, it turned out to be just a simple sprain.
The doctor prescribed a bottle of spray to treat bruises and injuries, gave me some careful instructions, and then left.
The medicine is most effective if used twenty-four hours after the injury. The nurse gave Zhong Jiajing an ice pack to apply first.
Zhong Jiajing raised her hand to take it, but the nurse suddenly withdrew her hand and handed the ice pack to Ji Nan who was standing beside her.
"I can do it myself." Zhong Jiajing said firmly while keeping her hand extended.
The nurse looked quite old, her expression calm, like a veteran. "You should at least let your boyfriend prove his usefulness. Otherwise, why did you call him here? You're a wounded man, so don't take on the job."
Zhong Jiajing was a little overwhelmed. This was the third time she had to make the same explanation today. "Nurse, he's really not my boyfriend."
"Oh, that's the ambiguous period. Then you have to give her a chance to show her true feelings, otherwise how can the relationship develop?" After saying that, the nurse left without looking back.
Zhong Jiajing didn't believe it, she snatched the ice pack from Ji Nan and pressed it on her wound.
But maybe she was too eager to show herself, and she twisted her proud butt without paying attention when she turned sideways.
It's sad, but I can't say it. This kind of embarrassing and shameful thing should not be publicized.
Her face was distorted but her neck was held high and proud. Ji Nan said nothing but took the ice pack and looked at her with interest.
He sat there like a human-shaped wooden sculpture, and Zhong Jiajing couldn't help feeling a little resentful.
She puffed her lips and huffed, "Why don't you explain?"
"What to explain?" Ji Nan said with a faint expression.
"Just say we're not in a relationship!" Zhong Jiajing exclaimed. "Look at how many people have misunderstood us today. I'm just a simple, cheerful, beautiful girl. Is that appropriate? Is that polite? Isn't that unreasonable?"
"Where's that bloody little beak of yours? Why don't you show off your man-eating beak today?"
"Oh my God! You don't know what a lively and cheerful little girl I will become if I can see Ji Nan's performance!"
Ji Nan was indifferent to her chattering. He just silently grabbed her injured foot and pressed the ice pack vertically on it.
"Hiss~"
The coldness of the ice pack and the man's hot palm were on her feet at the same time. She subconsciously retracted her feet, but was firmly restrained by Ji Nan's strong and large palm.
He raised his eyelids to look at her, his tone nonchalant, "Does not explaining mean you agree?"
"What else?" Zhong Jiajing muttered with a red face.
"Have you ever been called up by your teacher to answer a question in school?" Ji Nan asked, but didn't give her time to respond. Instead, he continued, "When you have no idea how to solve a problem, you'll probably remain silent. Does that mean the teacher assumes you understand it completely?"
This was completely a far-fetched argument, but Zhong Jiajing, whose brain was short-circuited, could not find any loopholes in the argument at this moment.
"No, you can't convince me at all." She said firmly.
"Okay, then I'll explain my point in a different way." Ji Nan's expression remained calm. "You've actively explained away all the misunderstandings today with that little mouth of yours that seems to have an electric motor installed, right?"
"What's the result? Did anyone believe it?" He raised an eyebrow and glanced at her. "We're essentially doing useless work, but at least I saved a little saliva and made a small contribution to nature's water resources. What could I have done wrong?"
"Besides, who isn't a simple, cheerful, and beautiful boy?"
"One hand can't clap, so how can unrequited love turn into a two-way relationship for no reason? If there is no truth to it, then there is no truth to it. Empty words won't become reality for no reason."
"Honestly, don't you feel any responsibility at all for the fact that we've reached this point?"
What! This is simply alarmist!
The girl, who was being blamed, was furious. She stared at the man's palm, which was wet from the ice pack, and said angrily, "I have athlete's foot. You can't use your hand anymore. Drag me out and chop it off."
This lie of hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting oneself by eight hundred was so self-righteous that Ji Nan was amused. "Okay, I'll go find a doctor and amputate it right away."
He was about to let go and signaled Zhong Jiajing to take the ice pack and apply it to herself.
Suddenly, there were two knocks on the door and Ren Jiang walked in.
When Ji Nan saw the person coming, he suddenly changed his mind. He pressed down Zhong Jiajing's ankle again as she tried to escape out of guilt, then turned his head and smiled at Ren Jiang.
"Oh, it's Mr. Ren, what a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence at all. I came here specifically for Zhong Jiajing." Ren Jiang answered truthfully.
Zhong Jiajing always felt that this conversation was very familiar, as if she had vaguely heard of it.
But now was not the time to think about this problem. She pulled her feet and tried to stretch them back, but Ji Nan was like Popeye who had eaten spinach. She could not break free from the shackles made by his hands no matter what she did.
"Oh, so you're the son of that doctor?" Ji Nan looked the man in front of him up and down before speaking calmly, "Although I'm not a doctor, I've heard that baldness is very likely to be hereditary."
He stared at the top of Ren Jiang's head. "Although it's not inevitable, please understand my concern. After all, we've known each other for a while, and I'm a person who cares about the world. I'm really worried that one day this beautiful hair of yours will be gone."
"Especially for you programmers, this must be a big problem, right?" His eyes were extremely sincere.
Every word was precious. Ren Jiang fell into self-doubt as he touched his still thick hair.
Zhong Jiajing was amazed at his boldness. She covered her mouth and whispered in Ji Nan's ear, "How presumptuous of you."
Ji Nan curled his lips into a fake smile, "Don't worry, I'm worried about you too. Although I don't know your family's genes, after all, acquired influences are quite large. Now that you're a programmer, you should pay more attention to it."
Good! Good! Good! Indiscriminate attacks, huh?
Zhong Jiajing couldn't move her legs, and couldn't win with her mouth, but couldn't she still take action?
She stretched out her hand and grabbed Ji Nan's slender, white neck. "Let's die together! Let's die together! None of us will survive!"
Ji Nan was worried that the half-lame person would fall, so he had to lovingly hold her waist to prevent her from stumbling and rolling to the ground with him.
Ren Jiang was displeased watching the two playfully and somewhat intimate people. He spoke out to stop them, saying, "Do you want to contribute more to the hospital's KPI?"
"Since Zhong Jiajing is fine, Boss Ji should hurry back to the store and get back to work. Leave the rest to me." He was about to reach out to help Zhong Jiajing. "It just so happens that I drove here, so it's convenient for me to take her back."
Ji Nan smiled wryly, "Oh, if I saw you correctly last night, you were already drunk, right? How dare you drive when you're sober?"
Ren Jiang was still having a splitting headache when his father called him. Of course, he didn't dare to drive over rashly. What he just said was just to scare people.
At this point, he had to confess, "Okay, blind man, you found the point. I didn't drive here, but who in the world said people can't take a taxi?"
"No one has set these rules," Ji Nan glanced at the silently retreating Zhong Jiajing, "but who knows if you'll get drunk and lose your mind later? I can still vividly remember you last night, unable to even open the door. If I put a camera in front of you, I'd start to wonder if you were moonlighting as a special zombie actor. That's really hard to believe."
"Since Zhong Heiya has entered my home, I certainly have reason to protect its mother's life and safety."
"Besides, who said I have to go to work today?"
"Don't you know? As an unemployed vagrant, I have the most free time."
Zhong Jiajing raised her hand to cover his mouth. "Master, please stop. If you can use this kind of power to shut down those who are accusing us of innocence, I'm sure they will all have a splitting headache like Sun Wukong."
A soft touch fell on his lips, and Ji Nan's slightly open lips paused for a moment before closing.
There was moisture in the palm of her hand, and Zhong Jiajing was suddenly dumbfounded. She stared at Ji Nan for a long time, then her face flushed and she turned away, feeling regretful.
She suddenly agreed with Ji Nan's words. Doesn't that mean she has no responsibility?
At first glance, she has a lot of responsibility.
Weren't her actions just now promoting the unlimited reproduction of ambiguous bacteria? She had to destroy this petri dish manually.
She buried her head in her coat and began to reflect on herself. Ren Jiang saw a crack in their relationship and he immediately took advantage of it.
"Even if we take Boss Ji's car, we still have to think about how to get you in, right?" He said to the top of Zhong Jiajing's head, "Otherwise, just let me carry you over."
"Maybe I still have another leg I can move?" Zhong Jiajing didn't intend to get involved in this argument. "Do you know the Golden Toad? That was the pose I loved to imitate when I watched The Adventures of Little Carp."
"And Zhao Si, I can imitate his steps perfectly."
It was obvious that Ren Jiang was interested in her, but Zhong Jiajing knew very well that she didn't have that kind of feelings for him, so she naturally chose to reject him decisively.
Ji Nan sat aside as still as a mountain, with an expression of watching a show on his face.
Zhong Jiajing stood up and performed a segment, and she was able to walk, but it was not very pretty. She looked like a gecko with half of its tail broken off but still crawling bravely. She was very sad because she had a burden of being a beauty.
Ji Nan smiled unabashedly with his eyes curved. "You look very inspiring. If this were still the age of cash, I would definitely stop and put in a coin for you."
Zhong Jiajing glared at him resentfully, "Don't you know that QR code payment is popular among beggars now?"
"Is that so? After all, this is the market situation in your industry. This is not my main business, so it's understandable that I'm not aware of it, right?" He pushed open the door and pushed the wheelchair in. "But I think there is a simpler solution to the problem at hand."
"Ren Jiang also saves energy, isn't that good?" He raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Ren Jiang.
If I'm not good, you don't have to think about it either. This is reflected vividly in Ji Nan. Ren Jiang curled his lips and glared at Ji Nan several times, but he just pushed Zhong Jiajing out without looking at him.
When Ji Nan opened the passenger seat and Zhong Jiajing was about to get up and sit in, Ren Jiang spoke with a smile.
"I've given Boss Ji a ride twice. I'm sure you, a man with such a broad mind, would be willing to return the favor, right?"
"Boss Ji won't refuse me for such a small matter as sending me home, right?"
Ji Nan pursed his lips and was speechless. He gave Ren Jiang a half-smile and said, "Why not? It's just not on the way."
