Chapter 22 Need a shot in the buttock?
Chapter 22
The cameraman didn't dare get too close, but the lens still clearly showed Luo Xiaoran's injuries to everyone.
【Ahhh, this looks so painful!!! Poor Ranzi o(╥﹏╥)o】
[Oh my god, the nails look rusty! Beware of tetanus!]
I really want to beat this incompetent and utterly useless Zhao Anyu to death.
[It breaks my heart to see him like this; I think he's about to cry.]
Chu Xingli calmed down, reached out and took Luo Xiaoran's arm, helping him steady: "Go get your shot."
"An injection?" Luo Xiaoran seemed a little surprised.
Since his mother's death, during his time living in Europe, he suffered many injuries, some self-inflicted, and some due to other reasons.
He always handled things hastily.
So much time has passed that he's become somewhat unfamiliar with the idea of getting injections.
Seeing Luo Xiaoran's slightly dazed expression after hearing about the injection, Chu Xingli assumed that the other person had also bumped their head.
He quickly raised his hand and rubbed Luo Xiaoran's temples: "Are you dizzy too?"
Luo Xiaoran was immediately struck by the "also" in Chu Xingli's words and came back to his senses: "Are you still dizzy?"
Chu Xingli then realized she had given herself away and hurriedly shook her head: "No, I just said it offhand."
Zhao Anyu leaned closer and reached out to help Chu Xingli support Luo Xiaoran.
Chu Xingli almost bumped into him again as she turned around, and said in a deep voice, "Get out of the way."
He didn't want to divert any of his energy from Luo Xiaoran to others.
Zhao Anyu hurriedly shrugged and retreated, trembling with fear.

The program's medical team immediately performed basic hemostasis and bandaging on Luo Xiaoran.
Afterwards, Chu Xingli took Luo Xiaoran directly to Kangchu Medical Center to prepare for a comprehensive examination of his hand.
"Hugs, it's okay." Luo Xiaoran resisted going to the hospital, but couldn't bear to give up the opportunity to be carefully cared for by Chu Xingli.
She could only obediently let him lead her by the wrist towards the emergency room.
"Nonsense," Chu Xingli was no longer thinking about their relationship; she was only concerned about Luo Xiaoran's injury. "Without checking, can you be sure if your finger is broken or fractured?"
From the moment he was injured until the medical team finished bandaging him, Luo Xiaoran barely bent his two injured fingers.
Others treat him as if he were in a wound.
However, Chu Xingli strongly suspected that the bones in his fingers were also injured.
Luo Xiaoran was used to enduring pain and didn't say anything, and he wasn't even aware of the possible condition of his fingers.
Seeing Chu Xingli's sharp and stern expression, Luo Xiaoran couldn't help but smile.
"You're still laughing," Chu Xingli sighed, annoyed by his reaction, and glared at him. "Shouldn't we also get your brain checked?"
Gu Zezhou was off work today, and he rushed over as soon as he heard the news.
He wasn't worried about Luo Xiaoran's wounds, but rather about Chu Xingli's emotions.
If Chu Xingli becomes mentally stressed because of Luo Xiaoran's injury, it will not be good for his physical and mental recovery.
“There’s rust on the skin, he needs a tetanus shot,” Gu Zezhou said with a frown, taking out his phone to contact a colleague. “I’ll have someone arrange it, and he can get the shot as soon as he finishes the X-ray.”
This medical center belongs to Luo Xiaoran.
Upon hearing that their boss was injured, the already highly efficient medical staff sped up their work even more, preparing all the necessary medicines well in advance.
Coincidentally, Luo Xiaoran came out of the examination room and overheard Gu Zezhou and Chu Xingli's conversation.
"Tetanus? Is that the kind that hurts a lot?" Luo Xiaoran asked.
Chu Lianqing didn't know how serious Luo Xiaoran's injuries were, but out of concern, and because his older sister was calling him from home urging him, he quickly rushed to the hospital to check on him.
“Whether it hurts or not, you have to get hit,” Chu Lianqing’s personality was even more domineering than Chu Xingli’s, and she looked like a patriarch. “No being willful is allowed.”
“Yes, Xiao Ran, these nails are rusty. You can’t joke around like this. You definitely need to get a shot.” The director quickly added his own words of advice.
After discussing it with the producer, the director left the other groups of guests behind and rushed over with Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran's cameramen.
He tried to apologize to Chu Xingli the whole time, but one after another these troublesome people came, making it difficult for him to interrupt.
They could only have the cameraman follow them at a distance, not too close, to express their apology to the audience and to show that they were not slacking off or doing nothing.
"Director, we might be going back a little later."
Chu Xingli consulted Luo Xiaoran, and only after they reached a consensus did he take the time to speak to the chief director.
The director was almost moved to tears by Chu Xingli's act of kindness.
He had actually prepared for Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran to boycott the filming, and was even wondering if he, as the director, would have to resign if Chu Xingli took the matter too seriously.
"Okay, okay, no, no, no," the director stammered, "Xiao Ran should rest well today, there's no rush to go back to filming."
After he finished speaking, he whispered to Chu Xingli, "Xiao Ran is usually so mature and caring, I didn't expect him to be afraid of needles? Xingli, you have to persuade him, tetanus is no joke."
Chu Xingli smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood.
Luo Xiaoran, who heard everything clearly from the side, was speechless.
Luo Xiaoran did not explicitly express his unwillingness to get the injection, but the scene of everyone surrounding him and trying to persuade him was a bit funny, making him seem like a child.
I'll be home later because I need to coax my husband to get his shot.
[Oh my, a 1.9-meter tall person is afraid to get a shot, hahaha (secretly clapping)]
[Hugs! If you hug Ranzi, he definitely won't resist getting the shot, haha.]
Don't just hug him, you have to kiss him too (doge)
[By the way, nobody told me that CEO Chu and Dr. Gu were this handsome!]
The head of the radiology department came out of the examination room with the report.
Seeing that Chu Xingli and Luo Xiaoran were talking, and Gu Zezhou was closest to him, he said directly, "Zezhou, Mr. Luo's ring finger has a slight fracture in the second joint."
Chu Xingli was taken aback, then turned to look at Luo Xiaoran, her eyes filled with remorse.
If he hadn't fallen, Luo Xiaoran wouldn't have gotten hurt.
Luo Xiaoran wanted to touch his face to comfort him, but she was worried that Chu Xingli wouldn't like this way of comforting him now, so she hesitated and decided against it.
Gu Zezhou put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and led the way: "Let's go, let's get the injection first, and then re-bandage and fix it."
Chu Xingli could tell from Luo Xiaoran's slow pace that he was resisting.
"You're not afraid of the pain of a bone fracture, but you're afraid of the pain of a shot?" Chu Xingli was very surprised by Luo Xiaoran's pain receptors.
"Are you dizzy?" Luo Xiaoran was still concerned about this matter.
He worried that when he placed his hand under Chu Xingli's head, it didn't provide adequate shock absorption.
Chu Xingli was so angry that she reached out to push him, but she didn't dare to push too hard: "Why are you still worrying about these things? Hurry up and go in to clean the wound and get the injection."
Luo Xiaoran paused, as if he didn't really want to go in.
"Why do I feel like you're trying to distract me?" Chu Xingli finally realized the blind spot.
Luo Xiaoran rarely showed a guilty expression.
Chu Xingli grabbed his right wrist and led him into the treatment room, muttering under his breath as they walked: "Well, you're such a coward. How have you managed all these years?"
Luo Xiaoran let him pull her along, and then was forced to sit on the stool.
The nurse adjusted the injection ratio, her fingers pointing upwards as she prepared the syringe.
"Which spot would you like me to inject?" Chu Xingli asked the nurse.
The nurse replied, "The middle part of the deltoid muscle on the outer side of the upper arm, the anterolateral thigh, or the upper outer part of the gluteus maximus are all acceptable."
Chu Xingli couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, and teased Luo Xiaoran, "Going to get a shot in the butt?"
Luo Xiaoran looked troubled: "...Aren't there three options?"
"We all really want to see what Xiao Ran looks like after getting a shot in the butt, hahaha..." Gu Zezhou started acting cheeky again. He was about to burst out laughing when Chu Lianqing's gaze made him hold it back. He said seriously, "How about we get a shot in the deltoid muscle?"
Fortunately, Luo Xiaoran has a good amount of muscle in his upper arm, which saved him from having to get an injection in his buttocks.
Chu Xingli helped Luo Xiaoran take off the right sleeve of his hoodie. Seeing that he still had a calm expression, she asked, "Are you particularly afraid of pain?"
Upon hearing Chu Xingli's question, Luo Xiaoran instantly had a breakthrough in his thinking.
He pursed his lips, turned his head away as if he couldn't bear to look, and his voice sounded pitiful because it was low and hoarse: "Yeah, I'm really scared."
Gu Zezhou: "???"
Chu Lianqing: "???"
Chu Xingli's gaze fell on the well-defined, smoothly sculpted muscles in Luo Xiaoran's arms, and she sighed helplessly.
"Did you build up your arms to give yourself courage?"
Luo Xiaoran: "..."
However, even though that's what he said, his tone clearly indicated that he had already compromised for Luo Xiaoran.
[Bro, did you hone your acting skills all the time while hugging him?]
[Haha, both my brother and Dr. Gu were stunned. Is this even possible?]
If I could get a hug and comfort if I got hurt, I'd be willing to do it.
[lol] "Did you build up your arms to be so strong just to give yourself courage?"
No one present could fail to see Luo Xiaoran's thoughts.
Only Chu Xingli, a person in charge who was somewhat slow to react due to the aftereffects, was kept completely in the dark.
Upon hearing this, I couldn't help but feel even more sorry for Luo Xiaoran.
"Then how can I overcome my fear?" Chu Xingli asked gently. "How did you get through the injections you used to get? Can I help you?"
Gu Zezhou was rebuked by Chu Lianqing and was forced to step forward and say, "I heard Xiao Ran say that when she was a child, her mother would hold her in her arms when she got injections so that she wouldn't cry or make a fuss."
Chu Lianqing withdrew her hand and earnestly offered her assistance: "I just remembered that too. It is indeed the case. Xingli, why don't you hold him while he gets the injection?"
The young nurse, holding a syringe, occupied the best spot to ship the leaders' couples.
If it weren't for the mask, it would have been difficult for those present not to notice her wildly upturned lips.
Although Chu Xingli felt awkward hugging a big man, the injury on his hand was, after all, caused by her.
He was secretly preparing himself mentally.
A moment later, she simply closed her eyes and steeled her heart, pressing Luo Xiaoran's head into her arms and gently patting his back: "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon, it won't hurt."
He couldn't see Luo Xiaoran's expression, but he was stimulated by the sharp needle piercing his flesh and couldn't help but frown.
It does look quite painful.
Unexpectedly, Luo Xiaoran, whom he was protecting, showed no change in expression, only a faint smile of smug satisfaction in his eyes.
"Come on, family member, please press it." The nurse glanced at Chu Xingli before removing the needle and prompted her.
"Okay, okay." Chu Xingli quickly reached out and pressed the cotton swab that was pressing on the needle hole for Luo Xiaoran.
"You'll need to be observed here for a while after the injection," the nurse instructed after completing her task. "This is a good time to re-bandage the wound and immobilize the finger. The doctor will be here soon."
Chu Xingli thanked the nurse and then asked Luo Xiaoran, "How are you? Does it hurt as much now?"
Luo Xiaoran smiled slightly, his attitude becoming even more docile, completely satisfying Chu Xingli's protective instincts: "Much better, thank you for the hug."
"Why are you saying all this?" Chu Xingli patted his shoulder and comforted him softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm right here with you."
Luo Xiaoran nodded with an honest and simple look: "Okay."
Gu Zezhou chuckled speechlessly: "You're really good at pretending."
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Xingli turned around and glared at him angrily, scolding, "Are you even human? His wound is so serious, he's almost dying of pain, and you're still making sarcastic remarks? Do you think I can't tell if he's faking it?!"
Gu Zezhou pointed innocently at himself: "...Me???"
[Deputy Director: Something unclean has gotten into our hospital.]
Where is the tea flavor coming from?
[Hug: Do you think I can't tell if he's faking it?!]
Poor Hug was completely manipulated by Brother Chacha (doge)
While the doctor was treating the wound, Chu Xingli sat next to Luo Xiaoran, frowning as she watched the doctor's procedure.
"Mr. Luo, the wound has been cleaned," the doctor reminded Luo Xiaoran step by step. "Now we will bandage your wound."
As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Xingli, and seeing that the other party nodded, he reached out and picked up the gauze next to him, ready to begin.
"Wait a minute." Luo Xiaoran's expression was very serious.
Chu Xingli turned her head to look at him.
When he was first injured on the mountain, he seemed calm; but now that he's saying his wound hurts, he's dejected and withdrawn, and doesn't like to say a word.
Why is everything suddenly so serious? Could it be that something serious has happened?
Could it be that he had other injuries on his body before he realized it?
Luo Xiaoran then pulled an object out of the pocket on the front of his windbreaker.
Even though Chu Xingli was so close, he still couldn't see what the man was holding.
Fortunately, Luo Xiaoran had no intention of hiding it from anyone, and the next second, he openly revealed it to everyone.
Chu Lianqing and Gu Zezhou craned their necks to look, and almost bumped into the director's head.
The doctor took a deep breath.
Chu Xingli was speechless. He turned around with his hands on his hips and looked up at the ceiling.
"Let me put the ring on first," Luo Xiaoran said.
Director: "...???"
Gu Zezhou couldn't take it anymore: "You're such a love-struck fool."
Chu Lianqing turned around: "It's hopeless."
[Die-hard love-struck +1]
I think I suddenly understand the mystery of my love-struck mind (smile)
Brother, you're about to get tetanus, and you're still thinking about this?
[Ranzi Bro: Don't worry about it, I have my own rhythm]
