Gemini 4

  In the blink of an eye, Qiao Nanmu had already pulled me to sit on the sofa. He asked someone to bring a first-aid kit and was half-kneeling in front of me, carefully examining my foot.

  His eyes were focused and serious, I looked at his calm and skilled posture, and suddenly thought of Qiao Yun's words that Qiao Nanmu was a medical student.

  His fingertips gently kneaded my wrist, an ambiguous action that seemed perfectly normal when done by Qiao Nanmu. His eyes were calm and peaceful, without a hint of any other emotion, as if he was just dealing with something ordinary.

  I furrowed my brow, and my mood inexplicably sank a little.

  Suddenly I thought of something, and looking at Qiao Nanmu, I asked: "Qiao Nanmu, do you have an older brother?"

  Qiao Nanmu paused for a moment, and responded with a low "en". He didn't look at me, so I naturally had no idea what he was thinking.

  "Is that, dear brother?" As soon as I asked, I regretted it. How could I ask such a stupid question? Won't Qiao Nanmu get angry? I secretly glanced at Qiao Nanmu and found that there was no sign of anger on his face, so I slightly let out a breath.

  "That's right." Jiao Nanmu replied, his hand exerting a slight force, I took in a cold breath, he didn't do it on purpose, did he?

  "Twins?" At that moment, I naturally thought of Gu Chen and Xia Lingcheng.

  Qiao Nanmu had already finished treating my foot and raised his head to glance at me, asking indifferently: "What do you want?"

  I was choked with rage and muttered a sentence in return: "It's just a question, what can I do?"

  Qiao Nan pressed her lips together and didn't continue with this topic anymore.

  I moved my foot a bit, and it didn't hurt that much anymore. Qiao Nanmu wrapped my foot with gauze in circles. Actually, I thought it wasn't that serious, but since Qiao Nanmu had already done it, I couldn't bear to say anything else.

  "It's snowing outside." For a moment I couldn't think of anything else to say, so I changed the subject to this.

  "Yeah, it's almost a day now." Qiao Nanmu continued my words and asked after pausing for a moment, "Want to go out?"

  If it weren't for still being mindful of my foot, I would have jumped up excitedly at this moment.

  "My feet, aren't they inconvenient?" I looked at Qiao Nanmu cautiously, with a hint of longing. If Qiao Nanmu went with me... Cough cough, then even if something happened, he would be responsible for it, right?

  Qiao Nan thought for a moment, then said lightly: "I'll carry you." As he spoke, he turned around and squatted down in front of me.

  I looked at Qiao Nanmu's not-so-broad back, his hands slightly raised from behind him. I didn't expect him to say that and was taken aback for a moment. When I came back to my senses, I said somewhat awkwardly: "Isn't this...not good?"

  Qiao Nanmu turned his head and stared at me, but nodded, "Mm, you're wearing too little, it's very cold outside." He looked at me and suddenly stretched out both hands, "I'll carry you to change clothes?"

  I stared at Qiao Nanmu with wide eyes.

  Is this considered open and aboveboard swindling?

  "No need! I...I'm too heavy, you can't carry me, besides..." But before I could finish what I was saying, Qiao Nanmu had already scooped me up in one swift motion, his hands tightly supporting my back and legs as he strode upstairs.

  What's with this standard princess-carrying pose?!

  Even if I had a thicker face at this moment, I couldn't help but blush.

  Qiao Nanmu is really... too annoying! I gritted my teeth and thought resentfully.

  Qiao Nan directly carried me upstairs, walking familiarly to the door of my room, lowering his head to look at me, and said with a smile: "Open the door."

  Damn it! I couldn't help but curse in my heart.

  "How did you know this was my room?" Was he...

  "You came knocking on the door last time, but you didn't open it for me." Qiao Nanmu replied with a expressionless face.

  I hummed and opened the door with a swing of my hand.
