"Is the patient in bed 12 awake?" The nurse's timely inquiry dissolved Ye Xuan's embarrassment, and he quickly replied, "Just woke up."
"Never seen such a family member; won't let nurses in, yet doesn't take responsibility. Didn't I remind you to let us know immediately once the patient wakes up?" The nurse muttered her dissatisfaction as she left.
In the dim glow of the small bedside lamp, Ye Xuan's wheatish skin could still be seen faintly blushing. Luo Ye chuckled, "You didn't allow the nurse to come in?"
"Mhm." Ye Xuan wrung out a warm washcloth, gently wiping it across Luo Ye's face, "I have experience in taking care of patients, I won't hurt you."
Luo Ye knew he meant turning her over for care and scoffed, "Forget it. I can only lie flat for six hours after surgery; you couldn't hurt me if you tried."
