Chapter 103: Sewing Needles

  The infirmary of No. 1 Middle School only had two doctors, one of whom had already gone off duty, leaving only a young male doctor.

  He took a look at Xi Xi's wound, used a cotton swab to stop the bleeding for her, and curiously asked: "How did you get hurt?"

  "Cut by a knife"

  "Glass injury"

  Chen Yan and Xi Xi blurted out at the same time, but their answers were vastly different. Xi Xi was thinking of protecting Zeng Yu, but things escalated, while Chen Yan spoke the truth considering her injured mouth. The two looked at each other in dismay, guessing each other's thoughts, and changed their words simultaneously.

  "Glass scratch"

  "Accidental injury with a knife"

  The doctor smiled, his eyes wandering between the two of them, a sly smile spreading across his lips: "I don't know whether to say you two have an understanding or not." After finishing speaking, he shook his head regretfully: "Alas, it's too late now, nothing can be done."

  "What do you mean?" Chen Yan blurted out, his voice laced with obvious anger.

  "Teacher, don't scare me, it's just a small wound like this, is my arm going to be crippled?" XiXi asked with a crying face, and unconsciously clenched her fist.

  The young doctor teased the two of them, pretending to be mysterious for a moment, then shook his head and explained: "What are you thinking about? It's just a small injury, not even bleeding, and you want to disable your arm? I mean, it's just that the timing is a bit off, the tetanus vaccine in our clinic is all used up, so you'll have to go to the city hospital for a shot."

  Xia Xi's hanging heart finally put down, Chen Yan immediately called the driver and arranged for him to go to the hospital.

  "Come and pick me up now, I have something urgent to go to the hospital. I'm fine, it's just accompanying a classmate." He was on the phone, his eyes fixed on XiXi's wound, a 4cm gash on her left arm, which would likely leave a scar.

  The doctor took advantage of Chen Yan's phone call to wish Xia Xi a speedy recovery: "Go to the hospital later and have the doctor there sew a few stitches, it'll heal quickly."

  "Suture?" Xi Xi's eyes widened in alarm, "It's just a small cut, no need for sutures, I'm still so young, I don't want sutures."

  In her definition, as long as a knife is used, it's surgery. Let alone sewing several needles on the body, just thinking about it makes her skin ache.

  Chen Yan saw Xi Xi's disheartened expression after hearing that she had to get stitches, and his eyebrows furrowed involuntarily. He felt a surge of resentment towards himself in his heart. Clearly, he was right there on the scene, yet he still let something like this happen to her - what a blunder. He continued speaking on the phone, "Wait, there's one more thing." He glanced at Xia Xi, lowered his voice, and walked outside the infirmary to continue the conversation.

  Chen Yanjiao's driver arrived soon, Xia Xixi did not decline, she was immersed in the fear of sewing needles, and didn't even realize when they arrived at the hospital.

  Xia Xixi, who has never been afraid of heaven or earth, is actually sewing, which is quite strange.

  Xia Xi sat on the long bench in the emergency room, watching Chen Yan busy with registration, pricing, and subtle emotions.

  Deeply stirred in her heart, she was overwhelmed with emotion. She had never known that Chen Yan, who always put on a cold face to others, could be so patient and meticulous in asking about the vaccine and suture instructions.

  His cold profile, from the long corridor filled with the warm glow of sunset, looked gentle as if without boundaries.

  When sewing, although anesthetized, Xi Xi still didn't dare to look directly at the doctor's needle. The feeling of being pierced by a needle was very subtle. Although the nerve was numb and couldn't feel pain, she could clearly feel the needle moving through her flesh. She closed her eyes and clenched her fists.

  Chen Yan placed his hand over Xi Xi's, passing on his strength to her in this way. He saw her eyelashes trembling lightly, like a butterfly in flight, and couldn't help but want to kiss her eyes.

  He knew all too clearly what kind of eyes they were, clear and bright, gathering all the beauty, without a single impurity, those were the big eyes he often dreamed of and couldn't forget.

  The wound wasn't that long, only 4 stitches were needed. When she heard the doctor say "all done", Xi Xi dared to open her eyes and suddenly saw not the stitched wound, but Chen Yan gazing at her with gentle eyebrows, her face instantly flushed with a red glow.

  "It's really unbearable with you young people, just sewing a needle, and making a fuss as if it's a matter of life and death." The doctor teased the two while putting away things.

  Xi Xi blushed bright red, smiled awkwardly, secretly cursed her bad luck, and was again discovered by Chen Yan to have another flaw.

  It was almost 8 pm when they left the hospital, and the school had already made arrangements with Xianmiao. Old Sun wouldn't be checking on the evening self-study session on Friday night, so Chen Yan directly told the driver to send XiXi home to rest.

  Two people sat in the back seat of the car, the light from the street lamps intersecting and casting onto the window, Chen Yan saw Xia Xi's face, sometimes blurry and sometimes clear.

  "I'm really impressed by your bravery, others would be holding a knife and you'd still dare to pounce on them. Luckily it was just a scratch, if the wound had been in a vital spot, I wouldn't be sending you home now, but rather to the funeral parlor."

  "Can saying something pleasant shorten one's lifespan?" Xia XiXi was very dissatisfied with Chen Yan's sharp tongue. Recalling today's events, she felt a lingering fear. If the wound had been fatal, she didn't dare to think about the consequences.

  Her voice was obviously short of breath: "I didn't think so much at that time"

  "After staying away from Zeng Yu for a while, you're not even clever enough. Looking at what happened today, she's even less clever than you..." Chen Yan's words were cut off by Xi Xi.

  "Who are you saying is brainless?" Xi Xi roughly understood what he meant, this wasn't the first time he wanted her to stay away from Zeng Yu, nor was it the first time someone said she was brainless, but when Xian Miao said it, it was okay, coming from Chen Yan's mouth, she got angry.

  "You're the one who's brainless, you don't even have a heart, liver, spleen or lungs!" she retorted.

  "Xia Xi, why is it that you can tolerate Zeng Yu but always avoid me and ignore me?" Chen Yan's tone was long and drawn out, with a hint of endless sighs. Xia Xi felt a pang in her heart as she listened, wanting to say something to him, but feeling that nothing she could say would be right.

  She was thinking hard about how to respond to his words, but before she could think of anything, the car had already stopped in front of her residential area, so she simply said "thank you" and "goodbye".

  "Wait a minute" Chen Yan took out several boxes of things from the back seat of the car, stuffed them into her hands, and instructed: "Go back and eat these." He said, closing the car door and leaving.

  Xia Xi took advantage of the streetlight to take a look at what Chen Yan had given her, which were all some nourishing items, such as donkey-hide gelatin, blood-enriching oral liquid... it turned out that he had made a big phone call to ask the driver to help buy these things.

  But why is there a prenatal supplement in here? Thinking of his serious expression when he told himself to eat these things, XiXi's face broke out into a smile. What an idiot, buying supplements without even knowing what they're for. If she took all of these, she'd definitely get a nosebleed from heatiness.
