Chapter 132: Medical Room
The cramping calf still throbbed with intense pain, and he twisted his ankle when he fell, leaving his left leg completely useless. Wen Yang could only wrap his arm around Ning Chu’s shoulder, limping out of the playground.
It was his first time having such intimate contact with Ning Chu. His body hurt like crazy, but his brain just couldn’t help but get flooded with random thoughts.
Ning Chu’s body was so soft.
Her skin was smooth and cool, delicate as a petal.
The faint scent of a young girl was very comforting.
That terrified, pale face about to cry was just too cute.
Wen Yang secretly took a peek at Ning Chu. Even though he was trying his best to walk, his weight still made her bear some of it, which only made her expression more serious and worried. Yet she gritted her teeth, trying her best to support him.
That stubborn little face was quite adorable too~
He knew he shouldn’t be thinking these weird thoughts right now, feeling shy and scared to look at Ning Chu.
“Where did Xinya go at a time like this!” Ning Chu was panting heavily, “She disappears just when we need her.”
Her view was completely blocked by Wen Yang; she could only see forward and to the left, unaware that Yan Xinya was leisurely following behind.
Wen Yang turned his head and saw Yan Xinya mouthing “Go for it!” to him.
“Where did Shaoqing and Wang Jie go too! Where could they have run off to?”
Ning Chu was looking around, trying to find someone to help, but couldn’t see any familiar faces.
“Maybe they snuck back to the dorm?”
“You too! Warm up a bit before the race! Who runs without a warm-up? Of course, you’ll cramp!” She babbled on, both complaining and showing concern, “Look at you now, your knees and hands are all bloody, who knows when you’ll be better.”
“Can’t you be more careful?”
“We’re not participating in the next race, not doing it!”
“You’re tall, so falling would hurt even more! What if you get hurt badly…”
She didn’t care at all about how Wen Yang was embarrassed. Wen Yang, on the other hand, was blushing and too shy to look around at the other students.
“Did you hear that!”
Wen Yang nodded hurriedly, “Okay, okay, we’re not participating.”
As they slowly walked out of the playground, the pain in his calf had eased quite a bit.
“It doesn’t hurt that much anymore. I can walk by myself.”
“No way!” Ning Chu firmly pushed his hand back onto her shoulder, “What if you fall again? How do I know you’re not just pretending to be tough?”
She was really anxious; if Wen Yang ended up in the hospital or needed to take leave from the dorm to recover, she’d lose her protagonist’s halo whenever she went out!
God knows what kind of weirdos she might encounter! She couldn’t be wearing Wen Yang’s clothes every day, could she?
“……”
Wen Yang had no choice but to squint his eyes and continue to enjoy the softness of Ning Chu’s body.
The only pain left was from the sprained ankle. Gradually, his brain was filling up with yellow nonsense about Ning Chu.
This made him feel even more embarrassed; he couldn’t bring himself to look at Ning Chu anymore.
“We’re here.”
Seeing the medical room, Ning Chu let out a sigh of relief.
“Yeah.”
Upon entering the medical room, it was still the same doctor they had seen before.
“Oh, it’s you two again. It’s only been two months since school started, and you’ve been here a few times already?”
With just one glance, the doctor recognized them—a tall, handsome guy and a cute little girl. They had been coming here together since the first day of military training.
He put on his white coat and asked, “What’s wrong this time?”
Ning Chu settled Wen Yang into a chair and leaned over the doctor’s desk, “He fell during the sports meeting! Quick, check if he got hurt badly!”
The doctor glanced at Ning Chu’s anxious expression and chuckled as he approached Wen Yang, “Looks like your little girlfriend is more worried than you are.”
“……”
“Let me see…” The doctor began examining Wen Yang’s injuries and asked, “How long have you two been together? You seem pretty close.”
Wen Yang was afraid Ning Chu would get angry and tried to explain, “It’s not like that…”
“Look at you two, always glued to each other. Pretty nice,” the doctor interjected.
His defense was interrupted. He could only sneak a look at Ning Chu, who was peering around the doctor, her eyes filled with urgency, completely ignoring the doctor’s words.
“You’ve sprained your foot pretty badly; the rest is just scrapes. A little medicine will do.”
Ning Chu took tiny steps, following closely behind the doctor, “Is it okay?”
“It’s fine. Just clean the wounds and take a seat in the resting area.” The doctor walked over to the medicine shelf and handed her a bottle of medicine and a pack of bandages. “It’s just scratches, you can help apply some medicine for him later.”
“Okay!”
The doctor took an ice pack, lifted Wen Yang’s foot, and massaged the sprained ankle while saying to Ning Chu, “You have to hold the ice pack for him later, and help massage his ankle a bit.”
“Sure.”
Ning Chu nodded vigorously.
Seeing the doctor was so confident, it eased her mind a lot.
It was only at that moment she realized the doctor had mistaken their relationship for that of a couple.
With Yan Xinya in the front and Lily behind, the doctor’s misunderstanding didn’t affect her much. However, a faint blush still crept onto her cheeks.
“Alright, go lie down in the resting room. Call me if anything happens.”
Ning Chu didn’t have time to explain her relationship with Wen Yang. She quickly got closer, carefully supporting him toward the resting room.
It was still that small room with just one bed. She closed the door behind them after entering.
Wen Yang sat at the head of the bed while Ning Chu grabbed a small stool, sitting beside him. She handed him the medicine and ice pack, “Here, your medicine.”
“I can do it myself?”
“What else? You want me to wait on you like a servant?”
As a roommate and friend, helping him to the medical room was already generous enough. Was she really supposed to apply the medicine and massage his ankle like the doctor said?
Wen Yang suddenly frowned, “Ah~ my foot hurts a lot.”
Ning Chu instinctively grabbed Wen Yang’s foot and placed the ice pack on his ankle, nervously asking, “Is it that painful? Do you want me to call the doctor?”
“Using the ice pack makes it better.”
She shot Wen Yang a glare and casually rested his foot on her thigh, “Oh, come on. Who are you learning this from? Acting like a brat.”
“Zhang Shaoqing?”
“Figures!”
Wen Yang was clearly a bit shy when school first started, and look at him now!
“He’s such a smooth talker; don’t learn from him.”
Ning Chu was a bit worried Wen Yang might turn into that smooth-talking, playboy character from the books who was too forward with girls.
“Alright.”
But for now, it seemed Wen Yang was still quite willing to listen to her.
While gently massaging Wen Yang’s ankle, she sighed softly, “That really scared me. Please be more careful next time.”
“Mm…”
Wen Yang felt her soft little hands, blushing as he stared at the ceiling.
Ning Chu suddenly noticed his voice had grown shy and weak, so she shifted her gaze from his ankle upwards, finally resting on his loose shorts.
What an eye-opener!
Ah~ he could barely walk after falling, and just sat down for a few minutes, and here he was thinking about such things!
Wen Yang’s face turned pale.
“It hurts! Ouch! Be gentle!”
