Chapter 381: Damaged the nerves in the hand
No matter how thick-skinned or good-natured Su Man was, she couldn't remain in a good mood after hearing what Xiao Beisheng said.
"So that's how it is. Then let's just say I was being sentimental. Sorry to bother you, Mr. Xiao."
Su Man left the ward after saying this.
She no longer urged Xiao Beisheng to go out for a walk and bask in the sun after work as she did in the past; nor did she chatter with Xiao Beisheng about how beautiful the sunshine was today and what kinds of flowers were blooming in the garden.
The atmosphere in the ward became visibly dull.
Su Man even wanted to exchange shifts with Gao Xun:
Gao Xun stayed up all night.
Suman comes to guard the daytime.
When Gao Xun heard the news, he almost cried.
Su Man softened her heart and said, "Okay, I know you have to take care of the company's affairs during the day. If you really can't get away, I can continue to stay with you at night. But..."
Before Su Man finished speaking, Gao Xun kept saying, "Thank you!"
Su Man: “…”
What she actually wanted to say was that Xiao Beisheng had recovered very well and now he basically didn't need anyone to stay with him at night.
Gao Xun didn't give her any chance to refuse.
Rest at night.
Su Man slept in the small room and Xiao Beisheng slept on the hospital bed.
Two independent spaces, neither side interferes with the other.
Su Man has made up her mind that apart from Xiao Beisheng's daily medical care, she will not interfere in his other affairs.
One day in the middle of the night.
Su Man lay on the bed, used a video call to coax Doudou to sleep, and prepared to rest herself.
Outside, a loud noise suddenly came from Xiao Beisheng's side.
After careful listening, Su Man realized that it was the sound of a kettle falling to the ground.
She quickly got out of bed and walked out in her slippers.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Beisheng sat beside the bed, staring at the ground in a daze.
Su Man followed his gaze and looked at the ground.
The kettle fell at his feet, the lid and the kettle body were broken into two pieces, and the freshly boiled hot water spilled all over the floor, still bubbling with steam.
One of Xiao Beisheng's trouser legs was also soaked by the hot water, leaving the exposed skin of his shin red. His unseen thigh was probably also affected.
It was obvious that the hot water spilled when the kettle fell.
But he didn't react at all, just sitting there quietly and motionlessly.
If it weren't for the fact that his entire right trouser leg was steaming with heat and his skin had quickly swelled up from the burns, Su Man would have almost thought that the water splashed on him was not hot.
"How are you? Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and rinse the burned skin with cold water. Otherwise, if blisters form on such a large area of burns, it will be very uncomfortable. And you have a wound on your leg!" Su Man hurried over.
When I got closer, I realized that Xiao Beisheng was not sitting there motionless.
His secretive eyes seemed to be filled with dark clouds that were about to cause a storm.
Su Man didn't know what was wrong with him. Seeing that he didn't move, she had to do it herself for him.
Just as she bent down to help him roll up the trouser legs of his hospital gown, he turned sideways to avoid her.
"Don't touch me." The tone was cold.
Suman ignored him.
I continued to move closer, and this time I touched the leg of his trousers. The higher I pulled it up, the more clearly I could see his red and swollen skin.
Xiao Beisheng got angry and pushed her away, "I told you, you don't have to meddle in my affairs."
Su Man looked at him and asked calmly, "Do you want to do it yourself, or should I take it off?"
Xiao Beisheng frowned and looked at Su Man strangely, his face full of disgust.
Su Man felt that the way he looked at people was really lethal.
It can be quite hurtful.
"If you really hate me, just treat me as a caregiver, a nanny, or a random nurse you don't know."
Perhaps because her tone was too compromising, Xiao Beisheng frowned and reluctantly pulled the trouser legs up to his knees.
But the red is not just on the calves.
It also spread to his thighs and was covered by his pants.
Seeing this, Suman started to take off his pants.
Xiao Beisheng frowned: "What are you going to do?"
"Not only the calves, but also the thighs. You have to take off your outer pants and apply cold compress to the burned area before applying the burn ointment." Su Man was also very stubborn.
As she spoke, she reached out and pulled the man's pants down.
Xiao Beisheng's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth: "Where are you touching?"
"So I asked you to take it off yourself." Su Man ordered him, but her tone was obviously not confident, and she felt a little guilty. "After taking it off, put your legs flat on the bed. I'll get a towel to give you a cold compress."
After Su Man finished speaking, she fled and hid in the bathroom.
She took three towels at once and wet them all with cold water.
When Su Man returned to the bedside, she saw that Xiao Beisheng's trousers had been hung on the head of the bed.
Below his waist, he was tightly covered by a quilt.
He looked like a good husband, determined to protect himself.
Su Man felt like laughing when she saw it.
But immediately, she focused on treating his burned skin.
She wrung out the towel and applied it to Xiao Beisheng's red skin from top to bottom. She concentrated her attention and twisted her dark eyebrows into a shallow pit.
"Does it hurt?" Su Man asked.
Xiao Beisheng didn't answer.
But she knew in her heart, how could it not hurt?
The freshly boiled water was poured onto human skin.
He is such a pampered nobleman with delicate skin and tender flesh.
The skin that was previously scratched by the oars still had blood scabs of varying depths and had not fully recovered.
Now another layer of skin has been burned off, how can I bear it?
He changed the water to cold water three times in a row, but his skin did not get better. Instead, it became twice as swollen as before. The redness on his skin did not fade away. Instead, it became red and white in patches, like a piece of half-cooked meat.
Su Man panicked, "I'll go out and ask the nurse on duty if she has any burn ointment."
After saying that, she hurried out of the ward without waiting for Xiao Beisheng to stop her.
After half an hour of struggling, Suman finally brought back two tubes of burn ointment.
"I told the doctor, and he said he can only see you after work tomorrow. We can only apply some medicine first. Hopefully, there won't be any problems after tonight."
Su Man opened the box, squeezed out a tube of plaster, and gently rubbed it on his red and swollen skin.
The transparent gelatinous burn ointment was cool and relieved the stinging sensation on Xiao Beisheng's legs a lot.
It was just that Su Man's movements were so light and slow that it made him feel a little itchy.
"Can you hurry up?" Xiao Beisheng pretended to be impatient and urged in a harsh voice.
Su Man was not frightened by him. Instead, she asked, "Why did you drop the kettle for no reason?"
Xiao Beisheng was silent for a while, then uttered a few words:
"I didn't hold it firmly."
He said a few words lightly, and Su Man wanted to complain, saying that he was such a grown-up, but he couldn't even hold things steadily.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw his left hand, which was placed on the pillow, trembling slightly uncontrollably.
Besides being surprised.
Su Man remembered that the doctor had mentioned before and after the operation that open-chest surgery might damage the nerves in his arm.
She understood immediately.
Xiao Beisheng must have boiled some hot water just now and wanted to pour some for himself to drink.
But because my hands were shaking, I couldn't use any strength.
So I didn't hold the kettle firmly and it fell.
Xiao Beisheng himself probably didn't expect this, so the dull and cold look he showed just now was probably him sulking with himself.
