In the evening, the sun gradually retracted its dazzling light and half hid behind the mountains. The cloudless sky looked like spilled paint, with varying shades of color, appearing particularly magnificent.
Su Nan stared at Zhou Rang with her big, watery eyes, blinking her long eyelashes, and opened her red lips slightly: "Or are you still upset about what I asked you last time?"
Hearing this, Zhou Rang swallowed slightly, a look of being seen through appeared on his face. He calmly reached out his hand and scratched the back of his head to cover his red ears.
“No.”
After that, before Zhou Rang could sort out his words and continue to explain, he heard the girl beside him whisper, "Then don't hide from me anymore, okay?"
Her soft, sweet voice was full of grievance and sadness. Her white and 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 for so many days, nor have you come to care about me. My leg hurts so much, but no one comforts me."
Su Nan's eyes were filled with a hazy mist. She bit her lips tightly and tried 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 her tears with her fingers.
"Doctor Xiao said that your leg is fine and you just need to rest." Zhou Rang stared at her blankly, frowning as if he was at a loss.
Su Nan turned her head and gave him a glare, feeling that he was a clam that could not be opened, and 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-in-arms. How can you ignore me?"
"I take care of it." As soon as the three words "weakly" came out, she was refuted.
"Is sending you food and drinks considered a problem? I don't care."
In fact, she really missed it, because if he didn't send her a gift, she would probably only be able to eat cornmeal mixed with sweet potatoes with the Xiao family, and she wouldn't be able to eat meat and drink soup every now and then.
But that’s not the point at all.
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 unhappily, "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 lightly.
"What are you laughing at? Was what I said wrong?" Su Nan rolled his eyes at him, picked up the mirror on his knees and looked at himself. After seeing his 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 are good-looking, you can't change it."
Zhou Rang's eyes passed the mirror and went straight to her, and 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 caught it.
"It hurts, but I don't need to see a doctor. I just want you to come to 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 she be exposed?
"If it hurts, you must see a doctor. Otherwise, how can it heal 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 get better."
Zhou Rang could sense the embarrassment in her tone, but he thought she didn't want to go because the road to the county town was long and bumpy, and it was sunny and troublesome, so he could only helplessly persuade her: "But it's better to go to the hospital. The doctors there are more professional."
"Really, there's no need. Besides, experience is sometimes more important than expertise when treating this kind of injury." Su Nan waved her hand. Her mind was 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 convenient, so I must be carried in and out. Women are not strong enough to carry me, so only men can do it. But I have no relatives or friends here, so what can I do?
But if I let a strange man carry me on his back, there would definitely be more unpleasant things said than what happened today."
Su Nan sighed and felt sad.
Zhou Rang pursed his lips tightly, slightly pressing down the corners of his lips. 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 don't dare to gossip about us in public, but they are definitely talking more and more behind our backs."
Su Nan sighed again, and secretly glanced at Zhou Rang. Seeing that his breath was even colder, he coughed lightly and whispered softly, "So just wait for it to heal slowly."
This time he finally stopped refutation and insisted: "Then I will go to the hospital for consultation to see if there is 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'll remember the money you spent on food and medicine for me during this period. I'll return it to you when the time comes." Su Nan held 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's no need to calculate so clearly, as if to draw a line between you and him.
"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, one is my father, and the other is my future husband."
The implication is self-evident.
The two looked at each other. Su Nan felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking. Her face was as red as a pomegranate bud about to bloom, so beautiful and charming.
Zhou Rang was a generous and free-spirited person, but whenever he met Su Nan, he would be hesitant and hesitant, as if he was standing at countless crossroads, not daring to take a wrong step.
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, and 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.
