The doctor worked quickly, wrapping the medical tape around Xu Xinchen's neck in one smooth motion: "Okay, be careful next time, don't get the needle in again. Honestly, we'll have to do it all over again later, isn't that just unnecessary suffering?"
Chen Ningsheng kept his head down and didn't speak, looking very downcast. Seeing Chen Ningsheng like this, Xu Xinchen quickly reached out and patted him, saying, "I'm fine."
Chen Ningsheng looked at Xu Xinchen and took a deep breath: "Take good care of yourself and don't move around too much." With that, Chen Ningsheng helped Xu Xinchen sit up and lay her back down on the bed.
Seeing Chen Ningsheng's condition, the doctor's expression softened considerably. He said to Chen Ningsheng, "I'll have the nurse come and change the dressing again later. Now, rest well. Remember what I just said, don't give her anything too nourishing."
Chen Ningsheng nodded and said to the doctor very seriously, "I've got it, doctor, so don't worry."
The doctor was finally satisfied and left the ward with the nurse pushing the trolley. Once the doctor was gone, the ward became quiet again.
Xu Xinchen looked around and realized that only she and Chen Ningsheng were left in the ward. A look of panic appeared on her face as she recalled what had happened during the time when Lu Shuangshuang had taken her away.
Unconsciously, Xu Xinchen reached out and grabbed Chen Mingsheng's clothes again, her lips trembling as she said to Chen Ningsheng, "Ningsheng, do you know? I... I was kidnapped by Lu Shuangshuang."
When Chen Ningsheng heard Xu Xinchen bring up this topic, his expression instantly turned cold, and he pulled Xu Xinchen away with a serious face.
Chen held Xu Xinchen's hand and comforted her, saying, "I know, Xinchen, don't worry. We've already started tracking down Lu Shuangshuang. I will definitely not let that damned Lu Shuangshuang get away with this easily."
Xu Xinchen was relieved to hear that Chen Ningsheng had gone to find Lu Shuangshuang. No matter what, Lu Shuangshuang had really crossed her bottom line this time.
She was almost killed by Lu Shuangshuang. Even if Lu Zhenjun and Zhao Lanzhi step in to protect Lu Shuangshuang this time, she will never let Lu Shuangshuang go.
Chen Ningsheng clearly shared the same thought as Xu Xinchen. He patted Xu Xinchen's hand and comforted her, "Xinchen, don't worry, I will definitely not let Lu Shuangshuang off easily."
Hearing Chen Ningsheng's assurance, Xu Xinchen felt a warm current slowly welling up in her heart: "I know, I believe you."
As Xu Xinchen spoke, she suddenly remembered Gu Yan, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and recalled some unpleasant things. Xu Xinchen's expression turned somewhat grim: "Ning Sheng, where is Gu Yan? Where is he?"
Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's question, Chen Ningsheng couldn't help but feel a little jealous: "Why are you in such a hurry to find Gu Yan as soon as you wake up? Isn't it enough that I'm here?"
Hearing Chen Ningsheng's words, Xu Xinchen felt a little helpless. She reached out and pinched Chen Ningsheng's arm, saying coquettishly, "Alright, why are you jealous? I was just wondering if there's something going on between Gu Yan and Lu Shuangshuang."
When this was brought up, Chen Ningsheng's expression softened a bit, but his tone was still somewhat sarcastic: "So you wanted to ask about his relationship with Lu Shuangshuang? Why didn't you just ask me? Why did you have to ask him?"
Xu Xinchen's face darkened, and she reached out and pinched Chen Ningsheng's waist hard: "Chen Ningsheng! You better tone it down and stop saying these nonsensical things. Tell me right now where Gu Yan is."
Chen Ningsheng pursed his lips and said with a disdainful look, "He's already gone to investigate Lu Shuangshuang's matter." As he spoke, Chen Ningsheng explained to Xu Xinchen everything that had happened in the past few days.
When Xu Xinchen heard that Gu Yan had actually reached a reconciliation with Chen Ningsheng during the days she was unconscious, she was quite surprised: "Is Gu Yan sincere? He clearly wanted to mess with you so much before, how come he suddenly said he would reconcile with you?"
"It's all because of someone." Chen Ningsheng pursed his lips, his face full of displeasure. "If it weren't for you, how could Gu Yan have gotten along with me so easily? How about it? He sacrificed himself for you to this extent, aren't you moved?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xu Xinchen said, both amused and exasperated. She reached out and pushed Chen Ningsheng, "Alright, hurry up and get out of here. Don't bother me. I need to rest for a while."
As she spoke, Xu Xinchen looked Chen Ningsheng up and down a few times: "And look at you! How many days has it been since you took care of yourself? Go back and clean yourself up before you come to see me. Hurry up."
After speaking, Xu Xinchen closed her eyes. She was really tired. She had just woken up and had said so much at once, and she felt a little exhausted.
Seeing Xu Xinchen's utterly exhausted appearance, Chen Ningsheng couldn't bring himself to say anything more. He could only silently tuck the blanket around Xu Xinchen, then get up and leave.
As he walked, Chen Ningsheng picked up his clothes and sniffed them. There was indeed a sour smell on them. Chen Ningsheng frowned. No wonder Xu Xinchen disliked him; even he himself found the smell repulsive.
Self.
Just then, a nurse pushed a trolley over and, seeing that Chen Ningsheng was about to leave, quickly moved aside to make room for him.
Chen Ningsheng looked at the new syringes and IV drip on the nurse's cart and whispered to the nurse, "Be careful, find the vein in one go, don't prick too many times, understand?"
Chen Ningsheng had seen many nurses who had to repeat the injection many times because they couldn't find a vein. He didn't want Xu Xinchen to suffer that kind of pain.
The nurse quickly nodded to Chen Ningsheng: "Mr. Chen, don't worry. I've been working for a long time and I'm very experienced. I definitely won't let Miss Xu feel too much pain."
Hearing the nurse's assurance, Chen Ningsheng nodded. He stepped out of the door and said to the nurse, "Then you can go in now." With that, Chen Ningsheng turned and walked outside.
Chen Ningsheng hadn't walked far when his phone suddenly rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and saw that the caller ID showed Gu Yan's name. Chen Ningsheng answered the phone with a puzzled look: "Gu Yan? What's up?"
If he remembered correctly, Gu Yan had only just left not long ago, right? Was Lu Shuangshuang's investigation really that simple? Why did she call so soon?
On the other end of the phone, Gu Yan sounded angry: "Lu Zhenjun and Zhao Lanzhi went to find you."
