In the evening, the sun gradually retracted its dazzling light and half hid behind the mountains. The cloudless sky looked like a spilled paint, with different shades of paint, which looked particularly magnificent.
Su Nan stared straight at Zhou Rang with her big, watery eyes, her long eyelashes blinking as she parted her red lips: "Or are you still upset about what I asked you last time?"
Hearing this, Zhou Rang swallowed slightly, a look of being seen through suddenly appeared on his face. He calmly reached out and scratched the back of his head to cover the red tips of his ears.
“No.”
After saying that, before Zhou Rang could sort out his words and continue to explain, he heard the girl next to him whisper, "Then don't hide from me anymore, okay?"
Her soft, sweet voice was filled with grievance and sadness. Her tender little hands had grabbed the corner of his clothes without her knowing when, shaking them and acting coquettishly.
"You haven't come to see me or show any concern for me in all these days. My legs hurt so much, and no one comforted me."
Su Nan's eyes were filled with a hazy mist. She bit her lips tightly, trying to hold back her tears, but she couldn't help it and shed a few golden beans pitifully.
As if she didn't want him to see her vulnerability, Su Nan turned her head slightly and gently wiped away the tears with her fingers.
"Doctor Xiao said that your leg is fine and you just need to rest." Zhou Rang looked at her blankly, frowning as if at a loss.
Su Nan turned around and glared at him, feeling that he was a clam that couldn't be opened. She said angrily, "You would rather ask him than ask me."
"That's right. You didn't take me seriously after all. But even if we're not friends, we're still educated youth comrades. How could you ignore me?"
"I take care of it." As soon as the three words "weak" came out, she was refuted.
"You think I care about you just sending me food and drinks? I don't care."
In fact, it was quite rare, because if he didn't send her a message, she would probably only be able to eat cornmeal mixed with sweet potatoes with the Xiao family, and there was no way she could eat meat and drink soup every other day.
But that’s not the point at all now.
Zhou Rang's eyes never left her, staring at her silently, his eyes seemed focused and thoughtful, with a hint of confusion.
He thought for a long time before he said, "How can I manage it?"
Su Nan frowned when he heard this, and said angrily: "Why are you so stupid? Humph, looking at you like this, you will never get a beautiful wife like me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Rang suddenly smiled softly.
"What are you laughing at? Wasn't what I said wrong?" Su Nan glanced at him, picked up the mirror on his knees and looked at himself. After seeing his stunningly beautiful face reflected in it, he nodded with satisfaction.
Then she turned the mirror around, pointed it at him, curled her lips, motioned him to look in the mirror, and said sarcastically, "Even if you're ugly, you can't change that."
Zhou Rang'er's gaze passed the mirror and went straight to her. He suddenly asked, "Does your leg still hurt? I'll take a day off tomorrow and take you to the county town to see a doctor."
Su Nan was stunned and his hand loosened subconsciously, and the mirror almost fell into the basin again. Fortunately, Zhou Rang reacted quickly and grabbed it.
"It hurts, but I don't need to see a doctor. I just want you to come and see me more often." Su Nan cried pitifully, with a hint of seduction in her voice.
How could she possibly go to the doctor? Where did the injury on her leg come from? If she really went to the doctor, wouldn't it be exposed?
"If it hurts, you must see a doctor, otherwise how can you recover quickly?" Zhou Rang's face turned ugly in an instant. He lowered his head to look at her leg wrapped in bandages, with heartache between his eyebrows.
Su Nan's eyes flickered, and he stammered, "No need. I think Brother Xiao's second uncle is a very good doctor. I can even get out of bed now. As long as I take the medicine on time, I will definitely be able to recover."
Zhou Rang naturally heard the awkwardness in her tone, but he just thought she didn't want to go because the road to the county town was long, bumpy, and hot, so he could only helplessly persuade her again: "But in the end, you still have to go to the hospital. The doctors there are more professional."
"Really, there's no need. Besides, sometimes experience is more important than expertise when treating this kind of injury." Su Nan waved her hand, her mind racing, thinking that she had to change the subject quickly to put an end to Zhou Rang's idea of taking her to the hospital.
"Speaking of going to the hospital, how can I get there? My legs are not very convenient, so I have to be carried in and out. Women are not strong enough to carry me, so only men can do it. But I have no relatives here, and I don't have a partner. What should I do?
But if I let a stranger carry me on his back, there would definitely be even more unpleasant things said than what happened today."
Su Nan sighed and felt sad.
Zhou Rang pursed his lips tightly, the corners of his lips slightly pressed down, his eyes as dark as the abyss became even colder, and he blurted out: "After what happened today, who dares to gossip?"
"You don't understand. They naturally don't dare to gossip about us openly, but they're definitely talking even more loudly behind our backs."
Su Nan sighed softly again and glanced at Zhou Rang secretly. Seeing that his breath was even colder, he coughed lightly and whispered softly, "So just wait for it to slowly heal on its own."
This time he finally stopped arguing and just insisted, "Then I'll go to the hospital for consultation and see if there's any way to make it heal faster."
Su Nan nodded quickly and breathed a sigh of relief that he had finally dealt with it.
"Thank you. By the way, I have kept a note of all the money you spent on food and medicine for me during this period. I will pay it back to you when the time comes." Su Nan supported her chin with her hand, her eyebrows curved.
Hearing this, Zhou Rang felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave. The little flame of warmth that had just ignited in his heart was extinguished, and he felt cold from head to toe.
"I said no need." There was no need to calculate so clearly, as if to draw a clear line between them.
"How can that be? I've also said that I, Su Nan, am not a person who likes to take advantage of others." Su Nan spoke righteously, patted Zhou Rang's shoulder, and looked serious.
"I, Su Nan, have only used money from two men in my life: my father and my future husband."
The implication is self-evident.
The two looked at each other. Su Nan still had some discontent in her voice after she finished speaking. Her face was as red as a pomegranate bud about to bloom, so beautiful and fiery that it was very attractive.
Zhou Rang has always been a generous and free-spirited person, but whenever he meets Su Nan, he becomes hesitant and indecisive, as if he is standing at countless crossroads, not daring to make a wrong move.
The question that had puzzled him for a long time seemed to be gradually clearing up, revealing the full picture.
However, thinking of the mess in Shanghai, Zhou Rang's eyes darkened. He rubbed his palms for a while, and finally moved his body half an inch to the side, away from her.
Wait a little longer, until he has dealt with his own problems first, and then approach her cleanly.
