Xu Nuo has been recovering from her injuries for a month. Apart from her foot still being in a cast, the wound on her forehead has almost healed, and the stitches on the two wounds on her body can be removed today.
She looked at the wound, now only a faint mark, and felt a little distressed, wondering if it would leave a scar.
She'll cry if it leaves a scar.
Xu Yan took care of her for a week before returning to her hometown. Today, because she needed to accompany her to the hospital to have her stitches removed, she asked Captain Chang Youxin for leave. When Chang Youxin heard that it was Xu Nuo's business, he generously approved the leave slip.
Xu Yan took the small mirror from her and comforted her, "This is just the scab falling off naturally; it won't leave a scar."
She should have kept quiet, because as soon as she spoke, Xu Nuo pouted, looking like she was about to cry: "Last night I was half asleep and my forehead felt really itchy, and I think I scratched it."
"Ah?" Xu Yan panicked, afraid that Xu Nuo really had a scar on her head. But seeing her pitiful appearance, she gently comforted her, "It's okay, Nuo Nuo. I think your wound is healing very well. It definitely won't leave a scar. Why don't we ask Dr. Yan later and get some scar-removing medicine? Dr. Yan will be here soon."
At that moment, Yan Wei was separated from them by a door, intently sewing someone's stitches.
The young man stitching up the long, deep wound didn't utter a sound, his expression remaining unchanged.
He had a handsome and refined face, but his eyes held a hint of wariness and aloofness, his eyebrows were lowered, and his lips were tightly pressed together.
His tattered clothes were stained with blood.
It looks inexplicably fierce and makes people afraid to approach it.
A sweet, delicate voice came from outside, soft as cotton and tender as a flower bud.
"Can I have general anesthesia later? I have two places where I need to have stitches removed. If I get two injections, I'll be in pain twice. Can I have general anesthesia all at once?"
Yan Wei's hand trembled, and another voice hesitated: "Nuonuo, it seems like this doesn't require anesthesia."
"Ah? Waaah, that will hurt so much! One, two, three, four, five, six, I have six wires to remove."
The young man frowned slightly, looking even fiercer.
As Xu Yan was comforting Xu Nuo, a man in military uniform walked in, glanced at the two of them, and went straight to the door of the inner room, knocking on it: "Yan Wei."
"Come in."
The man in military uniform pushed open the door and went in. Only then did Xu Nuo realize that there was someone in the locked room, and she curiously peeked out.
A voice came from inside: "The wound is deep. You'll need to rest for a while after the stitches are done."
"Young comrade, I'm really sorry. I'll give you a letter of introduction and an explanation. You can take it to your captain."
Then Xu Nuo heard a voice.
His voice was pleasant, deep and magnetic, yet tinged with indifference: "No need."
Xu Yan turned her head to say something, but suddenly noticed a stain on Xu Yan's buttocks, so she quickly pulled her back.
Xu Yan squatted down and whispered in her ear, "Sister, you should go back and change your pants."
Xu Yan looked back and immediately understood what had happened, his face turning red.
Xu Nuo took off her jacket and pretended to tie it around Xu Yan's body, but Xu Yan stopped her: "No, it will get dirty."
Xu Nuo was indeed a little heartbroken about her white coat, but girls in this era were not as open-minded as those in the 21st century, and this kind of thing was very serious for a girl.
She said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? If it gets dirty, just wash it clean for me."
Without saying a word, he wrapped the clothes around her waist and tied them up.
After Xu Yan left, Xu Nuo waited quietly in the outer room. After a short while, the person inside came out.
Yan Wei was taken aback when he saw the people outside.
Because it's inconvenient to wear pants with a cast on, Xu Nuo wore a pure black dress today with a little white lace trim on the collar. Paired with her delicate face, she sat there obediently and quietly, looking as beautiful as a picture book.
Xu Nuo greeted him politely, "Hello, doctor."
Yan Wei coughed awkwardly: "Is this Comrade Xu Nuo?"
"Okay, I'll remove the stitches. Thank you for your help."
The door opened and a young man came out.
He was very tall and had an indescribably handsome face, but his eyes were cold and gloomy.
Yan Wei turned to him and said, "Sit down first, wait until the medicine is finished before you leave."
The man in military uniform pointed to the chair next to Xu Nuo: "Young comrade, please sit down for a moment. I'll go out with the doctor to get something."
The young man sat down in silence.
Yan Wei took off his gloves and said to Xu Nuo, "Wait a moment."
Xu Nuo nodded obediently: "Okay, you go ahead and do your work."
After the two went out, Xu Nuo couldn't help but glance to the side. Since sitting down, the man had been leaning against the wall without saying a word, his eyes closed, his eyelashes thick, long and straight.
A shadow has been cast over the present.
Just as I was about to look away, the man suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze fierce and cold.
Like a wary wild beast in the mountains.
When she suddenly met his gaze, Xu Nuo was startled, like a frightened little animal, her eyelashes blinking rapidly like tiny fans.
She felt a little guilty for being caught peeping.
However, this man is quite fierce.
Xu Nuo looked down and played with her fingernails. Suddenly, she noticed two candies on the ground. She had put them in her coat pocket because she was worried about having low blood sugar when her stitches were removed.
She looked around and saw that there was no one else besides herself and the blood-covered young man.
She leaned her upper body slightly and stretched out her right hand vertically.
Trying to pick up the two candies.
Even with his eyes closed, Li Xian was still paying attention to his surroundings. Hearing rustling sounds around him, he opened his eyes in confusion, and his gaze paused after he saw what was happening.
A small, slender, white hand was gesturing back and forth.
Almost there.
Xu Nuo tried several times but couldn't reach them. Her face turned a little red. She bent down a little more and reached out a hand to pick up the two candies.
The man handed her the candy, remaining silent and not even turning his head to look at her.
There were some dried bloodstains on his palm. Xu Nuo carefully reached out her hand, tilted her head to look at him, and said, "Thank you."
She was pretty and cute, with a sweet voice, and no one could refuse her kindness. But he acted as if he hadn't heard her, closed his eyes again, and leaned back against the wall.
Li Xian was both sleepy and hungry at the moment, and closed his eyes to try to relieve himself, but unexpectedly his arm was gently poked by something.
He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a hand in front of him. It was a woman's hand with long, slender fingers and a fair, delicate palm with a piece of candy lying on it.
Li Xian's eyes held an innate aloofness and indifference. He moved slightly to the side, pursed his lips, and shook his head in refusal: "No need."
After saying that, he leaned back.
Xu Nuo pointed to the blood all over him and whispered, "You're bleeding, and you don't look well. It might be low blood sugar. If you don't replenish your sugar, it could get very serious."
Li Xian lowered his eyelids and asked in a cold, hard voice, "Will you die?"
Xu Nuo paused for a moment, then honestly shook her head: "No, I'll faint."
As she spoke, she stretched her hand out towards him again.
Her wheelchair was right next to his seat; they were so close that he could even smell a faint fragrance emanating from her.
He stepped back a little, and seeing that she was still holding the candy, he thought about shaking his head, but then he saw her pull her hand back.
His eyebrows and eyes drooped again, and he leaned back and closed his eyes.
My arm got poked again.
He looked gloomy and impatient, intending for her to ignore him, but she didn't even look at him, she just reached out her hand.
A peeled fruit candy lay in her palm.
Li Xian paused slightly, then looked up at her.
She sat in her wheelchair, her beautiful features radiating kindness. She smiled, revealing a few small, white teeth, and her voice was incredibly soft: "It's already opened, we can't waste it."
He pursed his lips, his eyes fixed on the candy, and said nothing.
Xu Nuo thought he was embarrassed to accept things from strangers, so she leaned over and placed the candy in his hand, her voice soft, as if she were comforting herself or him: "Eating candy will make you feel better."
Li Xian's Adam's apple bobbed: "Thank you."
His voice was low and hoarse.
The cloyingly sweet candy melted in his mouth, but his stomach, which was cramping with hunger, received no relief. Accustomed to everything, Li Xian quietly closed his eyes, but the faint fragrance emanating from the person and the grape-flavored fruit candy in her mouth wafted to his nose.
Mixed with the unpleasant smell of blood on his body.
Liu Sheng and Yan Wei returned to the surgical ward together. With medicine in hand, Liu Sheng came over and handed it to Li Xian: "Young comrade, this is anti-inflammatory medicine. That person's knife was not clean, so remember to take it. Also, these are tonics. I also gave you a letter of introduction and a certificate. Take them back and give them to your captain. You need to rest well during this period and cannot work."
Li Xian remained indifferent, reached out and took the item, nodded, and simply said, "Thank you."
Xu Nuo sat to the side, listening secretly. She was a little curious. The man in military uniform who could issue the letter of introduction and certificate looked like a junior leader, yet he was being so polite to this man.
Liu Sheng added, "I will report your act of bravery to the organization, and the organization will definitely commend such a warm-hearted young man as you."
So it was an act of bravery, Xu Nuo blinked knowingly. Li Xian's expression instantly turned cold and resistant, and his voice became even colder: "No need."
Xu Nuo didn't hear what Liu Sheng said next because Yan Wei had called her to have her stitches removed. Looking at the cold, gleaming tweezers, she turned pale with fright: "This...are we starting already?"
Yan Wei comforted her, "Comrade Xu Nuo, don't worry, it won't hurt to remove the stitches."
Xu Nuo nodded, her face pale.
Yan Wei lowered his head, and before the thin, sharp tweezers could even touch the wound, she let out a frightened "Ah!"
Xu Nuo looked at him with tears welling up in her eyes, on the verge of crying. Yan Wei blushed and said, "Comrade, I haven't met him yet."
Xu Nuo covered her mouth and mumbled, "Go on, go on."
A moment later, Xu Nuo no longer cared about being embarrassed. Her eyes were red, tears were falling, and she was sniffling.
Who says removing stitches doesn't hurt? How can it not hurt when the stitches are pulled out of the skin?
She was very spoiled; she would cry for ages if she had a tooth pulled when she was little.
After the stitches were removed, she sniffed, feeling a little embarrassed, and sat down to compose herself.
A gaze fell upon her from the side.
Xu Nuo has always been someone who cares a lot about her image and pride. She couldn't help but feel embarrassed that this person had seen her crying. So she turned her head fiercely and asked him in a cute but stern voice, "What?"
Have you never seen anyone cry?
Her eyes were red, and her nose was red too. Li Xian quickly looked away, his face showing some unease, but his voice remained cold and hard: "No..."
Xu Nuo sniffed and snorted inwardly. Removing the stitches was painful, and there was no one to comfort her. She had to endure the pain all by herself.
She lowered her head in disappointment. Her parents and grandparents were no longer there. She hadn't dared to think about it before, afraid that this longing would be unbearable. But now she truly missed her family. She used to coax her grandparents so much when she got a vaccination. She didn't know if she would ever see them again.
Her eyes were burning, but she didn't want anyone to notice, so she just lowered her head and pretended to play with her fingers.
Li Xian, who was standing to the side, sensed something was wrong. He turned around and saw her with her head down, her black hair covering half of her face, and a drop of water on her hand that she was playing with haphazardly.
Li Xian's gaze was as if it had been burned, but he didn't say anything in the end. He leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes again.
Xu Yan arrived at the hospital quickly, brought Xu Nuo a new coat, and gently comforted her when he saw her red eyes. Then, turning around, he exclaimed in surprise, "Comrade Li... Li Xian?"
Li Xian?
Xu Nuo was taken aback.
The male lead is Li Xian, Xu Yan's future husband, and the future big boss.
Her gaze snapped back to the big shot, who simply nodded expressionlessly at Xu Yan and then closed his eyes again.
Oh no, she seemed a little harsh with him just now.
