"I'm sorry to bother you two for a moment." The charming and sentimental atmosphere was interrupted. Xie An held the medical record book and pushed his glasses calmly. His presence was too weak, and Xu Nuo almost forgot that there was such a big person in the ward.
Unlike Xu Nuo, who was so embarrassed that she almost buried her head in his body, Jiang Sinian didn't react at all. He was even a little dissatisfied with Xie An for suddenly interrupting him and his wife's intimacy.
"It's just a routine checkup," Xie An shrugged. "Although your self-healing ability isn't like a human's, I still want to check it out."
The inspection cannot be relaxed. Xu Nuo did not care about shame and quickly withdrew from his arms. He put on a serious smile and watched Xie An move the instrument to examine Jiang Sinian's head and body.
"It's nothing, a minor concussion from the car accident. You've been lying down for three days and you've almost recovered... Well, your previous leg injury is almost healed." Xie An raised an eyebrow. "Logically, those old injuries should be enough for you to recover for two or three years."
Jiang Sinian knew his physical condition better than Xie An. That warm and vigorous power seemed to have been helping his body repair the damage. If it were in the past, he might have just felt strange at most, but after all, even Xie An, a doctor, couldn't explain it, so he would have let it go. But after having those memories, Jiang Sinian couldn't help but think about it too much.
In the life when he was Lang Heng, because he shared the demon pill, he could see Xu Nuo's past memories, and he knew the thing that called itself "system" that resided in his body.
"Xie An," Jiang Sinian raised his eyes, "I have something to talk to Nuonuo alone."
Xie An made an OK gesture, pushed the door open and walked out, not forgetting to close the door gently.
"Baby, I..." Jiang Sinian's eyes were bloodshot and his voice was hoarse, but he was interrupted by a knock on the door and Xie An walking in.
"Ahem... sorry to bother you again, but Mr. Xu's parents and Chairman He are here."
Jiang Sinian pinched his brows wearily, tightening his grip on Xu Nuo. He'd felt insecure ever since waking and regaining his memory. A strong, reliable man rarely showed such vulnerability, and though he tried hard to hide his unease, Xu Nuo could sense it. The young man kissed his chin soothingly. He rarely made such intimate gestures in the presence of others, and Jiang Sinian's heart softened.
"Anian, Nuonuo," He Yan looked a little tired, but still greeted the two with a smile. Behind her, Xu's father and mother also walked in.
"Nono," Xu's mother called him softly, then looked at Jiang Sinian, "Little Jiang seems to be getting better."
Xu Nuo replied in turn, leaving only Xu's father still pretending to have a stern face. He only responded with a "hmm" after Xu Nuo obediently called him "Dad".
Xu Zhoushan felt complicated. The boy from the Jiang family protected Nuo Nuo at the last moment, so his beloved son was not injured. But after all, this accident was aimed at Jiang Sinian, and it implicated Xu Nuo as well. He couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Jiang Sinian.
The puppy 666 jumped out of Xu's mother's bag in a hurry, wagged its tail and rubbed against Xu Nuo, speaking in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"I was so scared, Nuonuo! Fortunately you're okay, otherwise I'd be so worried if you spent all the points on the hero!"
It still habitually called Jiang Sinian the male protagonist. Xu Nuo patted its puppy head and said, "I'm fine."
Jiang Sinian cast his gaze upon the little white dog on Xu Nuo's lap, lost in thought. The day he woke up, Xu Nuo had been like this, holding the little dog and standing there pitifully. 666 shuddered subconsciously, twisting his hips to bury himself against Xu Nuo. Halfway down, he was lifted up by the scruff of the neck, meeting Jiang Sinian's indifferent gaze.
666 whimpered and ran towards Xu's mother in a panic. Xu Nuo pinched Jiang Sinian's fingers in amusement, and moved towards him like a little snail without making a sound, until Xu Zhoushan coughed.
"Dad..." Xu Nuo whispered coquettishly, "Jiang Sinian is still sick, we can't disturb his rest."
Seeing his father-in-law's face getting darker and darker, Jiang Sinian was worried for himself. But Xu Nuo seemed to be unaware of it. She raised her cute and innocent face and smiled sweetly at him, with an adorable look that said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it."
"Okay, we just came to see you." Mother Xu was quite satisfied with her daughter-in-law and smiled to smooth things over. "It just so happens that your father has work matters to discuss with Ayan, right, Mr. Xu?"
Xu Zhoushan nodded reluctantly, He Yan smiled at Xu Nuo, and the three of them left the ward again.
"I will protect you," Xu Nuo snuggled into Jiang Sinian's arms, greedily absorbing his body warmth. God knows how hard it was for him during these three days.
"Yeah," Jiang Sinian kissed his forehead, "Thank you, wife."
