Seeing her, he flashed a bright smile. âSister Yang, youâre here!â
âWhere is your uncle?â
âHeâs inside.â
Jiang Yanzhou held medicine in one hand and a cup of water in the other. He turned his head when he heard the sound, his expression showing surprise.
âWhy did you come?â
His voice was hoarse, as if sandpaper had scraped against it.
Lu Yangâs gaze lingered on the medicine in his hand for a few seconds before looking up at him. âYou told me earlier that youâve had a severe cold for a few days and it hasnât gotten better, so I came to check on you.â
âIâm fine.â
He didnât look well at all. His voice was extremely rough. With his current appearance, there was no way he was fine.
Lu Yang took the medicine from him. âHow many days have you been taking this?â
âFive days.â
âYouâve been taking it for five days and still havenât improved. Stop taking the medicine. Iâll take you to the hospital. Severe colds can lead to serious complications and pose a risk to your life. You must go to the hospital for a check-up.â
Jiang Yanzhou had originally intended to use this opportunity to remind her that her friend was upstairs, but he didnât expect that she would actually take him to the hospital.
Fortunately, after a thorough examination, there were no complications. He just needed two IV drips, and he would be fine.
Jiang yanznou appeared calm on tne outside Dut telt uneasy Inside. He was worried that he would faint when he saw the needle, leaving a bad impression on her.
âAre you feeling dizzy?â Lu Yang touched his forehead with her hand. âThereâs no fever.â
Jiang Yanzhouâs head didnât have the strength to lean on her shoulder. âMhm. very dizzy.â
Even though the weather was cold, Jiang Yanzhou felt warm. The temperature that brushed against the side of her neck made Lu Yang realize that their intimacy had gone too far. She subconsciously wanted to push him away, but he grabbed her hand.
âDo you have any questions for me?â
To conceal her confusion, Lu Yang blurted out, âI noticed that you havenât smelled like smoke for a long time. Did you quit smoking?â
âYes.â
âWhy did you suddenly decide to quit smoking?â
Jiang Yanzhou said, âYou canât stand the smell of smoke.â
Lu Yang turned her head to look at him, and he frowned, looking very uncomfortable.
She asked again, âHave you never received a shot before?â
âExcept for the one you gave me last time, no.â Jiang Yanzhou answered.
Lu Yang was surprised. âNever? So when you were sick before, did you only rely on medication?â
âYes, I rarely get sick.â
Lu Yang recalled what happened last time. âI gave you a shot before because you were sick, didnât I?â
Jiang Yanzhou honestly admitted, âI was pretending.â
Lu Yang was at a loss for words and mused, âI should have given him a rabies vaccination. â
Jiang Yanzhou asked, âCan you give me a shot this time too?â
âWhy not?â
âI donât want to.â
He lied to her and still expected her to give him a shot. How presumptuous.
When the nurse prepared to administer the injection, Jiang Yanzhou suddenly felt dizzy and his vision darkened.
His line of sight was blocked.
What obstructed his view was the soft palm of Lu Yang.
He couldnât see the needle, nor did he feel its presence. His mind was filled with the sensation of her palm.
His heartbeat raced abnormally fast.
Jiang Yanzhou had a severe cold, and his head felt heavy, but he understood clearly that every time he encountered her, his heartbeat would uncontrollably accelerate.
It was especially evident now.
His heart seemed as if it wanted to jump from his chest into the palm of her hand, letting her trample on it.
The pounding of his heart was deafening. Jiang Yanzhou thought he had probably changed from being afraid of needles to being afraid of them.
But his mind, despite the countless chaotic noises, was pierced by a voice that shattered his self-deception.
The voice said again and again, your heartbeat is beating for her.
He heard the nurseâs voice, âAfter finishing two IV drips, you can go home.â
Then he heard her voice, âThank you.â
Lu Yang wanted to move her hand away, but Jiang Yanzhou pressed it first. He called her name, âLu Yang.â
âWhatâs wrong?â
âCan I borrow your hand?â
Lu Yang was taken aback, then agreed, âOkay.â
Jiang Yanzhou sat up straight and said, âIf youâre tired, you can lean on me and take a nap.â
âNo need.â
Jiang Yanzhou didnât actually like the smell of hospitals, but at this moment, unable to see anything and with the scent of disinfectant in his nostrils, all he could think of was her.
He quite liked it.
His thoughts drifted to a sunny afternoon. With a pencil in his hand, he drew on paper, bending and curving, involuntarily sketching the outline of a person. It was from the forehead to the chin, without hair, eyebrows, or eyes, but with just one glance, he knew who he had drawn.
âLu Yang.
Jiang Yanzhou suddenly realized that if things continued like this, he would completely fall in love with her.
At the same time, he also realized that he had already fallen in love with her.
He loved her passion for medicine, her easygoing nature, her calm rationality, her smile, her mischievous side, he loved her when she was busy and ignored himâ¦
He praised her soul and yearned for her soul.
But it didnât stop at the soul.
âDo you like Lu Mingyu?â he asked.
Lu Yang held her phone with one hand and heard the question. She turned her head and scrutinized his expression.
âYeah, I do. Why?â She didnât tell him that Lu Mingyu was her own brother.
Jiang Yanzhou had always had a grudge about that, and hearing her admit it made him even more uncomfortable.
Lu Yang was anticipating his response, but he remained silent for a long time. She couldnât see his eyes, but she could see his thin lips tightly pressed together. Then his voice sounded muffled, as if he was angry.
âNothing..â
