Ye Xiaofan didn't know how he managed to help the woman in front of him clean and bandage her wound. By the time he was finished, he was drenched in sweat.
But for a man, shouldn't this be a kind of enjoyment? Why did Ye Xiaofan feel uncomfortable amidst the excitement, thrill, and tension?
Duh, if such a beautiful woman is right in front of you, and you can look but not touch, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable too?
"Why did you save me?" The woman asked blankly, looking at the young man in front of her.
"That's a really strange question. Why shouldn't I save you? My grandpa always told me that saving lives is a doctor's duty. Although I'm not a doctor, ignoring someone in danger isn't my style," Ye Xiaofan replied, thinking he was being charming.
"Oh."
Aloof, what is with this woman? She looks so delicate and pitiful, yet there's a cold arrogance in her demeanor that feels very distant.
"What's your name? Why were you up the mountain so late by yourself? And you even got shot." Ye Xiaofan casually asked.
"I... don't remember."
"Don't remember? What's going on?" Ye Xiaofan asked curiously. Could it be that she has amnesia?
"It's just that I don't remember. I vaguely recall many people chasing me, wanting to kill me, but I can't remember anything else." The woman seemed to be trying hard to recall, but couldn't remember anything.
"How about we go to the hospital to check, or ask the police to help investigate, and under their protection, you..."
Before Ye Xiaofan could finish, a chill suddenly enveloped him. He slowly looked up and met those cold eyes again. He was so scared that cold sweat started to drip.
"Fine, pretend I didn't say anything." Ye Xiaofan quickly corrected himself. Then he packed up and prepared to leave.
"Ye Xiaofan, where are you going?" The woman suddenly inquired.
"Home. Since you don't want to go to the hospital and don't want the police's help, there's nothing else I can do." After all, she's no longer in mortal danger, and I'm just a student. If I don't go home to sleep in the middle of the night, I'll surely get scolded tomorrow.
"What about me when you leave?"
Because of this sentence, Ye Xiaofan stopped, turned around, and looked back, dumbfounded.
At this moment, the woman was sitting cross-legged on the bed, her eyes slightly downcast as she looked at him.
The woman who had been so cold just now suddenly became enchanting as soon as Ye Xiaofan said he was leaving.
Damn it, Ye Xiaofan cursed himself inside, yet he couldn't resist that tender plea.
"You should be able to manage..."
"But I really need you." The woman straightened her posture and said.
Need? A beautiful woman saying she needs me? My God, should I feel happy? Or excited? But her identity is too mysterious, and with those frightening skills, despite being seriously injured, she could instantly hold a dagger to my throat. Instinctively, I knew this woman was very dangerous.
Well, you said it yourself, so don't say I'm shameless for staying here and not wanting to leave.
"Come over here, there's space for you to sleep."
"Eh..." The young man, who had been acting quite cool, upon hearing this, turned into a goofy expression and trotted over.
"Don't touch me, or I'll chop off your hands."
And the subsequent words threw Ye Xiaofan into the abyss, all his previous expectations vanished into thin air.
"How could I, you're still injured, don't worry, I will be careful not to touch you."
Even though he had thousands of complaints in his heart, Ye Xiaofan's face still maintained that cheerful smile.
Perhaps out of sheer fatigue, Ye Xiaofan soon fell asleep shortly after lying down, not even having time to fantasize. Sleeping during such a lovely scene, in the presence of spring beauty, is truly shameful.
"Water, I want water."
No idea how long he slept, the woman's mumbling next to him suddenly woke Ye Xiaofan up.
When he realized what was being said, he frowned. This woman, really so pretentious? Can't she get up and get water herself? Helpless, he got up to pour the water and brought it over.
"Here you go, the water is here."
After waiting for a while and still seeing no movement, Ye Xiaofan panicked, quickly feeling her forehead and realizing things were bad. This woman had a fever.
Hastily, he helped her up and brought the glass to her lips. The woman, sensing water at her lips, began to take big gulps.
"I need to check your wound to see if it's infected, I hope you don't mind."
"Mm."
Damn, having such a legitimate reason to do something so righteous, Ye Xiaofan really thought he was extremely clever.
The woman gently leaned against his chest, reaching out to open the bathrobe and check the wound. So beautiful... enthralling to the point of being suffocating.
"Hurry up, haven't you seen enough today?"
"Ah, I'm, I'm inspecting the wound." Getting caught, Ye Xiaofan quickly set aside other thoughts and seriously checked the wound.
Unwrapping the bandage, there was no infection on either side, perhaps she was too weak, catching a chill on the way back into the city. Coupled with the gunshot wound, fatigue, among other things, led to the fever.
"Why don't we just go to the hospital..." Ye Xiaofan suggested hospital again.
"I can't go to the hospital, you should get me some fever medicine." The woman slowly said.
Why can't we go to the hospital? Didn't she have amnesia? Can't see the police or doctors? That means her identity can't be revealed, because a gunshot wound would definitely attract the police.
After getting the fever medicine, until dawn, the woman's fever showed no sign of breaking. After using a thermometer, the fever was still at thirty-nine point five degrees.
Ye Xiaofan stayed by her side the whole time, not leaving her, even calling the school to ask for a leave.
"Why are you still here?" Waking from another bout of sleep, the woman looked at Ye Xiaofan still sitting by the bed and asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Didn't you say you needed me, so I stayed." Ye Xiaofan smiled slightly, this time speaking from the heart.
Upon hearing this, the woman was taken aback, clearly not expecting the boy to answer like that. Previously, she only asked him to stay because she thought he was quite silly, but now it seems he's not just silly, he's a bit slow, yet there's something endearingly naive in his clear eyes.
"You know rubbing the body with alcohol can reduce fevers, right?" The woman slowly said.
"I know, my grandpa taught me long ago."
"Then why are you still in a daze? Come help me wipe."
"Ah? I help you?"
