Chapter 18 He's so tempting
In that instant, Lu Jinru felt as if he were floating on a cloud, his whole being light and unsteady. This unsettling state made him fear that he might fall to the ground at any moment.
But in the clouds, there were landscapes he had never seen before.
His remaining rationality kept reminding him not to trust her, not to trust her so quickly...
What should he do if he is abandoned one day?
What could he do?
Xia Zhen felt his body trembling. She released him, straightened up slightly, and stared at him with narrowed eyes.
The boy's face was deathly pale, and he had lost his usual calm and composure. He looked more fragile and vulnerable than a child.
His light-colored eyes were filled with helplessness and panic, as if the girl's figure that had fallen into his eyes was some kind of monster beyond his comprehension.
Xia Zhen stretched out her hands, pulling the corners of his lips upward with her fingers, giving him a comical smile. She laughed out loud, "If you don't know how to react in a situation like this, just smile."
The face she touched seemed to be getting warmer.
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his uneasy eyes dared not look at her.
Just then, an old woman's surprised voice came from not far away, "Little girl!"
Xia Zhen turned around and saw an old woman walking briskly towards her. She recognized the old woman and smiled, "Hello, Grandma."
A young man in a white coat asked, "Mom, do you know each other?"
The old woman quickly said, "Didn't I tell you? That day, Chaochao ran out and almost got hit by a car. A little girl saved him. This is that kind little girl! Look, her injuries haven't healed yet!"
Sure enough, abrasions could still be seen on Xia Zhen's knees and palms.
The man realized what was happening and said to Xia Zhen with gratitude, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for you that day, my brat would probably still be lying in the hospital right now."
Xia Zhen smiled brightly, "The teacher said we should be willing to help others, and I just did what I was supposed to do."
The old woman liked Xia Zhen more and more as she looked at her. Her eyes were full of undisguised admiration. "There aren't many young girls as good as you these days. You left in such a hurry the other day that I didn't even have time to say hello. Young lady, is there something you need at the hospital today?"
As she spoke, the old woman glanced again at the boy in the wheelchair next to Xia Zhen.
Xia Zhen said, "I caught a cold and wanted to buy some medicine. Of course, that was just a side thing. The more important reason is that I came to accompany my friend to get a medical check-up."
The old woman quickly said to her son, "Now is your chance to repay their kindness. You must repay them properly."
The young man nodded repeatedly.
The old woman smiled and said to Xia Zhen, "My son is the vice president here. Any tests you need will be charged to him, and of course, all the expenses will be covered by him."
Xia Zhen was still considering how to help Lu Jin, who was struggling financially, without hurting his pride. But after hearing the old woman's words, she didn't hesitate and immediately nodded and smiled, "Okay!"
Xia Zhen spoke in a very natural and open manner, without the slightest hint of coyness or affectation. The old woman found the young girl increasingly endearing and quickly instructed her son to take Xia Zhen and Lu Jin through the green channel.
As Lu Jin was pushed forward in his wheelchair, his body remained tense and he did not relax.
Xia Zhen bent down and whispered in his ear, "I did a good deed, but it ended up benefiting you. What kind of good thing is that? You owe me a favor, and you'll have to pay it back later."
Upon hearing this, his body relaxed slightly.
Xia Zhen was afraid he was overthinking things and putting too much pressure on him, so she added, "Don't worry, I won't use this reason to force you to agree to date me."
Strangely enough, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest again.
Xia Zhen caught a cold because she was chilled and didn't get enough rest. Her examination and prescription were simple, but Lu Jin's case was different.
The doctor said his physical condition was very complicated. Malnutrition was a minor issue; his excessive emotional repression also put a great burden on his body. His body was already more fragile than that of ordinary people, but he lacked the necessary care and maintenance, which led to a series of hidden illnesses.
Hearing this, Lu Jin was not surprised. He had been able to guess what his body was like for a long time.
But Xia Zhen asked excitedly, "Can his body recover? Will he suffer any other long-term effects?"
Lu Jin looked up and saw the girl's worried face.
The accompanying vice president also said, "Please explain the situation clearly."
The doctor looked at the test results and his expression was somewhat grave. "Logically speaking, if he continues like this for a long time, it will more or less leave irreversible damage to his body. But strangely, his body seems to have shown some subtle changes of improvement recently."
This cannot be explained by science, but no matter how advanced science becomes, there will always be things in the world that are difficult for ordinary people to understand.
When the doctor turned to the last page of the test results, he looked surprised. He looked at Lu Jin and said, "You said that when you went to the hospital for a checkup before, they all said that your leg was beyond saving. But according to the test results, your leg clearly doesn't have such a serious problem. The bones and nerves have been damaged, but they have already shown a tendency to repair themselves."
Lu Jin froze.
The doctor said, "The human body is amazing. Sometimes when we are injured, our bodies will try their best to heal themselves to tell us not to give up. In your case, you need to undergo several courses of treatment and do more rehabilitation exercises..."
Before the doctor could finish speaking, Xia Zhen jumped up excitedly.
She bent down and grabbed the boy's hand, her excited smile even brighter than if she had just pulled ten SSR characters in a game. "Lu Jin, did you hear me? You can't give up! You can still stand up!"
Lu Jin did not respond.
As Xia Zhen tilted her head, about to reach out and touch the corner of his lips with her finger, the corner of his lips curved upwards first.
The boy's eyes were moist and bright, with reddish corners. His handsome eyebrows also showed a touch of youthful naiveté. With a faint smile, his pale face seemed to have gained a touch of color.
Xia Zhen suddenly felt a dry mouth and throat.
Her hand, which was suspended in mid-air, was grasped.
Xia Zhen, who prides herself on being an experienced driver and loves to play the straight game, inexplicably felt her face burning up at that moment.
Oh my god, he looks so tempting!
The doctor asked the vice president in a low voice, "Are they really just friends?"
The vice dean glanced at his subordinate and said, "Friends or not, haven't you ever been through puberty?"
"Oh~" The doctor smiled knowingly.
Who hasn't been young?
