As soon as Nan Xun opened Zhu Zhu's ward door, Zhu Zhu sat up.
Nan Xun couldn't help feeling distressed, and walked over to Zhu Zhu's bed and sat down.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Nanxun stroked Zhu Zhu's hair. "Can't sleep?"
Zhu Zhu nodded: "I can't sleep."
"Don't worry." Nanxun said softly, "Everything is over. No one will hurt you anymore."
Zhu Zhu rested her head on Nan Xun's chest: "I was just wondering how love could make people become like that."
"It's not emotions that change people." Nan Xun was silent for a few seconds before saying, "It's people's desires."
"Xue Li'er...what kind of punishment will she receive?"
"I don't know." Nanxun paused and said, "It depends on what the judge decides."
"Will you... be sad?" Zhu Zhu raised her head and looked at Nan Xun.
Nan Xun was silent for a few seconds, then said, "It would be a lie to say I wasn't sad. Even if we can't be together, I don't want her to become that kind of person."
Zhu Zhu didn't say anything, but reached out and gently wrapped her arms around Nan Xun's waist.
"Thank you for not lying to me." Zhu Zhu said softly, "I thought you would avoid any questions related to Xue Li'er."
"No." Nanxun leaned over the bed and gently hugged Zhu Zhu. "I said I will never lie to you again."
"Why are you late? Did you go to see her?"
Nanxun nodded: "There are some things I want to hear from her in person."
"About your parents' death?"
"Um."
"Did she say that?"
Nanxun was silent for a few seconds: "No."
Zhu Zhu leaned in Nanxun's arms and stopped talking.
"Go to sleep." Nanxun patted Zhu Zhu's back gently, "I'm very tired, let me hold you and sleep for a while."
"Okay." Zhu Zhu nodded and stopped talking.
…
Zhu Zhu slept very soundly, as if she had had a very long dream.
The next afternoon, Zhu Zhu slowly opened her eyes.
I reached out my hand, but the pillow was empty. Nanxun had left the ward at some point.
"Awake?" Shen Yihan couldn't help but tease Zhu Zhu when she saw her move. "You really can sleep. If you keep sleeping, I'll call Doctor Qian to see if you're dead in your sleep."
Zhu Zhu stretched and asked, "Where's Nanxun? Where did he go?"
"Nanxun? What Nanxun?" Shen Yihan pretended to be ignorant. "Why? Did Nanxun stay here last night?"
Shen Yihuan looked at Zhu Zhu with ambiguous eyes, which made Zhu Zhu's cheeks hot and she felt guilty.
"It's not what you think." Zhu Zhu said with a blushing face, "We just slept together, nothing else happened."
"Slept together?" Chen Yihuan said, "I understand. Adult men and women just chat under the covers. It's not the first time you and Nanxun have done this. Didn't you also sleep in the same bed when Nanxun was in the hospital?"
"Who...who told you that?"
"Many nurses in the hospital saw it." Shen Yihan smiled slyly, "The news has spread throughout the hospital. They say that Master Nan and Madam Nan love to do that in the hospital. Do I need anyone to tell me?"
Zhu Zhu's face flushed even more, and she said anxiously, "We really didn't! Don't listen to their nonsense!"
"Really?" Shen Yihan sat down beside Zhu Zhu's bed and asked softly, "Is it because you can't do it or is it because he can't do it?"
"Logically speaking, as long as a woman is sexually apathetic, she should be able to do it." Shen Yihan continued, "Then... could it be that Young Master Nan is not able to do it?"
