Chapter 266 What Does She Think About All Day?

"Nuan'nan."

The man's voice was slightly hoarse and deep. Although his eyes were open, he seemed not fully awake.

Su Youyue did not resist his intimate address anymore and responded.

Hearing her response, Xie Yuan's eyes finally seemed to wake up completely. He turned to look at her. "Why are you here? I'm fine; don't worry..."

Before Su Youyue could answer, Ji Qingyan suddenly pulled the blanket off the man's body.

"..."

Su Youyue had just grabbed Xie Yuan's hand, and after their eyes met, they both looked down.

They saw that although the man was not entirely naked, he was nearly so, with only loose pants hanging around his waist. A wound ran across his well-defined abdominal muscles and extended down into his pants.

There were also two deep, dark red diamond-shaped wounds on his right chest and abdomen, which, despite being medicated, still showed how deep they were.

Ji Qingyan directly pressed on the edges of the two wounds. Xie Yuan, who had intended to have her cover him back up, winced in pain, his brows furrowing deeper, but he did not make a sound.

"These two areas no longer have hidden weapons. Where is the other wound?" Ji Qingyan asked in confusion.

Xie Yuan's lips tightened, and he remained silent.

"Hurry up, don't be shy about getting treated. My time is precious!" Ji Qingyan had seen many patients unwilling to cooperate. She might have some patience with one or two, but when she encountered too many, she would simply leave.

Seeing Xie Yuan still silent, Su Youyue slowly shifted her gaze to the wound that extended from his abdomen into his pants.

The waistband was very loose.

If there weren't a wound there, Xie Yuan wouldn't be wearing them like this...

Could it be... injured down there?

Just as Su Youyue thought this, she turned and saw Xie Yuan staring at her intently, as if afraid she would see through something.

"Well, uh, Xie Yuan, it's okay, I don't mind..." Su Youyue wanted to reassure him quickly.

She really didn't mind. In her previous life, they had done plenty together. This time, it didn't matter either; she just wanted to be with him.

Hearing her hesitant words, Xie Yuan's expression became subtle. "What are you saying, Nuan'nan?"

Hmm?

What was she saying? Of course, she was talking about... that matter.

Su Youyue wasn't a naive girl anymore, but Xie Yuan should still be an innocent man. After some mental comfort, she began to reassure Xie Yuan: "Don't be afraid. With Doctor Ji here, she will preserve your dignity as a man."

To be honest, seeing that Xie Yuan wasn't in mortal danger made her feel relieved, but she felt a twinge of guilt. She wondered if this assassination, which deviated from the historical events of her past life, was due to her changes.

If it was because of her, and Xie Yuan couldn't... function properly, then it would be her fault.

Xie Yuan looked deeply at the little girl in front of him, who was speaking earnestly about certain matters. Suddenly, he felt that his little girl might not be as innocent as he thought.

He wondered what she thought about all day.

This was not the first time he had noticed this...

To prove that his dignity as a man was intact, the man finally spoke up: "I'm fine; it's just a wound on my thigh. The hidden weapon went deep, close to the bone, and has barbs. The doctor's skills were insufficient to remove it, so I've already sent someone to invite the imperial physician."

"..." Su Youyue blinked, suddenly realizing she had overthought things.

So, the man's... thing was fine?

Slowly, her face heated up.

What had she been saying!

Even Doctor Ji was lost in thought, suddenly feeling that ancient people weren't as feudal as she had imagined.

"Since that's the case, don't bother with any incompetent doctors. Your local physicians aren't skilled enough for surgery. Let me handle it."

Saying this, she reached for Xie Yuan's pants.

"No..." The man hastily stretched out his hand to grab the waistband of his pants.

Xie Yuan suddenly felt more awkward than ever in his life.

Yet Su Youyue was still urging him: "Xie Yuan, doctors don't see gender. Let go and let Doctor Ji examine you. Getting the hidden weapon out sooner will reduce your suffering."

Xie Yuan would rather endure more pain than have two women watch him undress.

Thus, he held onto his waistband, resisting Ji Qingyan's efforts.

Seeing the stalemate, Ji Qingyan grew impatient. Another uncooperative patient!

"Fine, suffer then!" She let go of the pants.

Unprepared, the pants fell onto the wound, causing another wave of pain. But this time, he didn't even wrinkle his brow, instead, he subtly relaxed.

However, while Ji Qingyan gave up, Su Youyue did not.

In her view, when her leg was injured, all the imperial physicians had examined it and were ultimately helpless. Clearly, their skills paled in comparison to Doctor Ji's.

If they came and failed to remove the hidden weapon, wouldn't it cause Xie Yuan more suffering?

But why was Xie Yuan so uncooperative?

Could it be... he's blushing?

As soon as she thought of applying this term to Xie Yan, Su Youyue dismissed the idea.

Anyone could blush in this world, but not Xie Yan! In his past life, only Heaven and she knew how uninhibited he was in bed, completely different from his public persona!

Despite finding it impossible, Su Youyue still probed, "How about this: we don't take off your clothes, just cut the fabric around the wound with scissors? Xie Yan, I heard from Gao Sheng that this injury is serious. If even the imperial physician can't remove it, wouldn't we still have to trouble Doctor Ji?"

After she finished speaking, the man glanced at her, remaining silent for a long time.

Su Youyue knew he was starting to think about it.

So, he really is blushing...

Su Youyue couldn't help but want to laugh, never imagining that the man had such an adorable side. Afraid of hurting Xie Yan's pride, she held back her laughter.

"Look, my leg is already healed. If you don't get treated properly and recover soon, when will we be able to get married?"

Her face was full of sincerity.

Finally, the man relented under her coaxing tone.

"The scissors are on the shelf."

Ji Qingyan now understood what this young man was fussing about, so he sneered and turned to fetch the scissors.

It must be said that professional tasks should be left to professionals. With two snips, Ji Qingyan managed to expose only Xie Yan's wound without revealing anything else.

Looking at the wound on his leg, which resembled the one on his body, Su Youyue initially didn't feel much. But as Ji Qingyan used a thin knife and fine tweezers to probe deep into the wound, almost half of the blade disappearing inside, she realized how deep it was.

She couldn't help but grip Xie Yan's hand tightly: "Don't be afraid..."

The man didn't look at the wound at all; instead, he kept his gaze fixed on her face. Apart from a slight bead of sweat forming on his forehead, his expression remained unchanged.

It was unclear whether he was afraid or if she was the one who was scared.
