“Look, isn’t that at the foot of the bed?” The nurse pointed to the foot of the bed and added, “Don’t put it on him. The doctor probably already told you that his wound is on the inside of his thigh. You need to check it regularly, and if there is any bleeding or pus, come and tell us immediately.”
Xu Ruantang: "......"
No one told her how the gunshot wound ended up on her inner thigh!
After the nurse finished speaking, she left.
Xu Ruantang wanted to continue unbuttoning Chen Ji's shirt, but found that Xu Hanli was still standing in the ward and was walking towards the bedside.
What are you doing?
Xu Ruantang looked wary.
Xu Hanli is tall and has long legs. Even without walking over, he could see the person on the hospital bed just by standing next to Xu Ruantang.
He looked somewhat agitated. "What's wrong with him?"
Now it was Xu Ruantang's turn to be exasperated. She said irritably, "Big brother, this is a hospital. Of course he's sick."
Is it serious?
Xu Ruantang: "......"
Is it not serious enough for him to close his eyes? Or is he unconscious?
“Sir, shouldn’t you find his father first and then take him away?” Xu Ruantang pointed to the little boy who was sitting on the stool very obediently. “Don’t keep me from wiping his body.”
"You do your cleaning, we'll wait for ours." Xu Hanli's gaze remained fixed on Chen Ji.
Xu Ruantang frowned.
The soldier in front of me was tall and upright, and his skin was not rough like that of soldiers who are exposed to the wind and sun and train all year round. He was fair-skinned like a pretty boy.
She also looks like a uke from later generations, with fair skin and a somewhat feminine appearance.
Could it be... that she's taken a liking to Chen Ji?
Does this have to be so melodramatic?
Xu Ruantang blocked his way, "Stop looking!"
"Huh?" Xu Hanli was brought back to his senses by her call and stared blankly at Xu Ruantang.
"Get out! If you don't get out, I'll call the nurse and kick you out."
Xu Ruantang approached him step by step, forcing Xu Hanli to retreat. "I...I know him, he is Chen Ji!"
Xu Hanli stammered.
Xu Ruantang sneered, "I know his name is Chen Ji. The nurse was so loud just now, I'm not deaf!"
“No, he is my comrade-in-arms,” Xu Hanli explained.
Xu Ruantang reached out a hand, grabbed his collar, and dragged him out, saying, "Let's go!"
With a "bang," the ward door slammed shut in front of Xu Hanli.
Luckily he reacted quickly, otherwise his nose would have been broken!
Xu Ruantang quickly walked to Chen Ji's side and unbuttoned his shirt in a few swift movements. To avoid the big boss holding a grudge, she could only keep watch with one eye while pretending to sleep with the other as she wiped his body.
After wiping away the sweat from all the fuss, she turned around, went out to pour water, and washed her face.
When I returned, there was a little boy hugging a man's leg at the ward door, looking up and communicating with him in English.
Xu Ruantang knew from just one sentence that the man was the child's father.
The man stepped forward to thank Xu Ruantang, who smiled and returned to her ward after a brief conversation.
She mentally prepared herself and decided to lift the blanket to check on Chen Ji's leg injury.
Just as I lifted the corner of the blanket, the ward door was pushed open again!
Xu Hanli peeked inside, which nearly scared Xu Ruantang to death on the spot.
"Seriously, are you never going to stop?!"
Xu Ruantang glared at him, her hands trembling. A person can scare someone to death!
"Comrade, I really am Chen Ji's comrade-in-arms! If you don't believe me, I'll show you my officer's ID!"
After seeing the little boy and the overseas returnee businessman off, Xu Hanli was still worried about Chen Ji, so he turned back.
He frantically pulled out his military officer's ID and showed it to Xu Ruantang.
Xu Ruantang then gestured for him to come in, took the officer's ID and examined it carefully. "Your name is Xu Hanli?"
"Yes, you said you're Chen Ji's wife, so you should know which military region he's from. Look, here..."
Xu Hanli walked to Xu Ruantang's side and pointed to the division on the officer's ID card.
Xu Ruantang thought to herself, how could she know which military region Chen Ji belonged to? They weren't that close.
On second thought, she realized that meeting someone Chen Ji knew was a good thing, as there were things she couldn't do herself that his comrades could help her with.
Xu Ruantang looked up and saw Xu Hanli standing beside her. She immediately took a step back and asked warily, "You're his comrade-in-arms, don't you know he's injured?"
Xu Hanli subconsciously replied, "I know."
"You know again?" Just a moment ago, he was asking Chen Ji what was wrong with him. His tone made it seem like he had no idea that Chen Ji was injured.
In this day and age, Xu Ruantang isn't afraid of swindlers, but rather of other kinds of people.
Xu Hanli was surprised that Chen Ji's wife was so vigilant. He scratched his head helplessly and said, "I really know, but it wasn't this serious back then."
Xu Ruantang asked, "Do you know where his injury is? What kind of injury is it?"
"I know, it's a gunshot wound, on the inside of the thigh."
"Left leg."
Fearing he might not explain things clearly and would be suspected again, Xu Hanli quickly added a sentence.
Xu Ruantang had already sat down on the stool in the ward.
She's been busy since morning and has only eaten a little bread. Chen Ji is an adult male, and no matter how strong she is, she's very tired right now.
"Are you in a hurry to leave?" Xu Ruantang looked up, met Xu Hanli's probing gaze, and asked nonchalantly.
Xu Hanli shook his head. "No rush."
"That's perfect. Can you check if his wound is still bleeding or oozing pus?"
Xu Ruantang pointed to Chen Ji, who was lying motionless on the bed.
Xu Hanli stared in disbelief, pointing at himself and asking, "What? Why?!"
"Aren't you his comrade-in-arms? It's strange that comrades-in-arms help each other."
It's not surprising, it's just...
Xu Hanli glanced sullenly at Chen Ji, who exuded a powerful aura, then turned to look at Xu Ruantang. "Didn't you just say he was your man?"
"Are you here just to argue?"
"Um?"
Xu Ruantang rested her hands on her knees and said weakly, "I just got married to him, we're not familiar with each other yet. You're familiar with him, you go first."
If Chen Ji wakes up and finds out she saw him, what if he gets all ashamed and angry?
"Fine!" Xu Hanli didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he immediately walked towards the bedside.
The way he was acting didn't look like he was checking on a wound; it was more like he was going to defuse a bomb, his face showing a look of utter defiance.
If Xu Hanli knew what Xu Ruantang was thinking, he would definitely curse.
Please, the person he's facing is Chen Ji. If you knew what kind of person he was in the army, you wouldn't think he's exaggerating.
But since they had a good relationship, Xu Hanli still cared about Chen Ji's health.
Anyway, he's unconscious now, and he won't know anything when he wakes up.
"Wait!" Xu Ruantang shouted, startling Xu Hanli so much that he almost dropped the blanket from his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Don't take advantage of him," Xu Ruantang added.
Xu Hanli's face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and he muttered, "They're both men, what advantage am I taking from him! I'm not worried about getting a sty!"
As he spoke, he was about to lift the blanket.
Xu Ruantang turned her face away and waited for a long time, but still didn't get any feedback from Xu Hanli.
