Fan Wu was beyond shocked. The woman before him was not only bolder than the average woman, but also incredibly meticulous and thoughtful.
"Tsk, I shouldn't have covered up the bloodstains today; it was a bit too deliberate."
Just as Fan Wu was inwardly marveling at Xu Keke's extraordinary abilities, Xu Keke suddenly looked at him with concern. "What should we do? Mr. Chen will find out I know about this. He must have smelled blood last night to check our room. Will he go after the children?"
"No, he'll think I cleaned it up. Don't worry too much. He can't do that right now. He has orders from above to complete."
Xu Keke recalled the newspaper Feng Lichun had read in his previous life. She wanted to ask Fan Wu if he already knew what Mr. Chen's mission was. If he didn't know, well, if he didn't know, she couldn't really help him anyway; the newspaper only stated that the leader had been assassinated, without any specific details. Asking these questions now would undoubtedly disrupt their plans.
"There's still some left, you can drink it all."
Xu Keke picked up the lunchbox and poured all the soup inside into his bowl.
A young and pretty nurse walked in from outside. "Mr. Fan, we need to take your temperature."
Seeing that he was drinking something, the nurse didn't say anything, presumably because she had been instructed to do so.
Fan Wu consciously put down the lid of the lunchbox he was holding. Xu Keke took a basin from under the bed, poured some hot water into it, and added some cold water from the water tank on the table. She took a towel hanging by the bed, wet it, wrung it out, and handed it to him.
Then Xu Keke took the initiative to tidy up the lunchbox.
After Xu Keke tidied up the lunchbox, the nurse handed her a thermometer. "You must be Mr. Fan's wife. Take his temperature in a bit, and leave it here. I'll come back for it later. Just tell me the number."
Taking the thermometer, Xu Keke looked at the young nurse in front of her, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated. She hesitated, unsure if she needed to clarify. Unexpectedly, her hesitation led the nurse to misunderstand, "Mrs. Fan doesn't know how to use it, does she? It's very simple. Just put it under Mr. Fan's armpit in a moment. Mr. Fan knows."
These things always get worse the more you talk about them, and seeing that Fan Wu didn't seem inclined to explain, Xu Keke simply shut up. She took the towel from Fan Wu and shoved the thermometer at him.
Others might not be able to tell, but Fan Wu could sense that she didn't like this ambiguous situation.
This woman named Feng Lichun is different from ordinary women. She's free-spirited but not willful. Xiao Lin says she's hard to understand, and he feels she never hides her emotions. Last night, he covered her mouth, and she was unhappy. So she took the opportunity to kick him. It was her way of getting back at him. She did it so naturally, without any intention of hiding anything, not even bothering to pretend.
The nurse seemed to have other work to do, and seeing that Fan Wu and the others had no further questions, she headed out. She had just reached the door when she almost bumped into someone coming in. "Meilin, the head nurse wants to see you; there's a surgery you need to assist with."
The voice sounded somewhat familiar. Xu Keke subtly moved two steps toward the door. Fan Wu, lying on the bed, looked up at her in confusion. Seeing her staring at the door, he assumed something was wrong and also looked warily at the two nurses at the door.
Meilin: "Is it done earlier than planned? Weren't we supposed to do it this afternoon?"
"How would I know? The head nurse just told you to hurry over there."
“Okay, I’ll be right there.” The nurse named Meilin walked past her, not forgetting to turn back and instruct, “Come back in a bit to collect the thermometer. I’ve already told Mrs. Fan. Just come back to pick it up and write down the temperature.” After saying that, Meilin hurriedly left.
The nurse who remained turned to look at the two people in the ward, and when her gaze fell on Fan Wu's face, she suddenly stopped. She looked him over carefully, "You...you...you are Mr. Fan!"
Xu Keke followed her gaze to Fan Wu, thinking, "No way, could Fan Wu be the person Chen Yufen's sister can't forget?"
