Ye Lin did not say anything else. After buying the items, the two of them went their separate ways.
Bai Ran originally wanted to look for Chen Chen to treat his wounds, but she was afraid of delaying his work and was even more afraid of being rejected by him.
She could only go to her and Chen Chen’s so-called house to get the things she had packed. Then, she would look for Chen Chen later.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, Bai Ran saw Chen Chen leaning on the sofa with his eyes closed.
“Hmm? Why is he here? It’s almost nighttime. If work was just an excuse, why doesn’t he accompany his Hu Wan?” Bai Ran wondered. When she thought of Ye Lin’s words, Bai Ran suddenly wondered if Chen Chen and Hu Wan were not as harmonious and loving as they seemed.
Bai Ran shook her head and did not dare to think further.
She could not have any more fantasies. Even if there was something between Chen Chen and Hu Wan, it was an undeniable fact that he did not love her.
Bai Ran walked toward Chen Chen. No matter what, she should clean his wounds while he was asleep. Even if he woke up and was angry at her for doing it so secretly, it was fine. Otherwise, she would be really worried.
Bai Ran inched closer to Chen Chen. Her heart suddenly beat faster.
The man she had looked up to for more than ten years was lying quietly in front of her at this moment. There was no coldness, no neglect, or mockery. There was only his handsome face and tall figure. She wished that time would stop at this moment.
However, in the next second, Bai Ran saw the blood on Chen Chen’s shirt and could not help but pat her face. Bai Ran, oh Bai Ran, you’re still being a love-struck fool at a time like this!
Bai Ran took out the things she had brought back from the hospital in the afternoon and was about to cut open his shirt. Her fingers touched Chen Chen’s forearm. His skin was really smooth, but… Eh, why was it so hot?
Bai Ran felt that something was wrong. She quickly touched Chen Chen’s forehead and realized that he seemed to be having a fever.
She cried out in her heart. This must be because his wound had not been treated in time in the afternoon. Some glass shards had really entered, causing him to catch a fever because of infection.
Bai Ran shook Chen Chen’s arm, wanting to wake him up and go to the hospital with her.
Chen Chen opened his eyes in a daze and saw that it was Bai Ran. He said weakly, “Why are you back?”
“You have a fever. You have to go to the hospital quickly,” Bai Ran said, about to pull Chen Chen up. “It’s all my fault. I should have stopped you this afternoon. You had to finish treating your wounds before leaving.”
However, Bai Ran was too weak. The person who was sick was even heavier. After trying a few times, Bai Ran did not manage to pull him up.
Chen Chen said softly, “There’s no need to go through so much trouble. Help me clean it simply and help me find some fever medicine.”
“How can I do that? You’re already running a fever. What if something else happens?” Bai Ran was a little worried.
“It’s fine. I’ll see if I have to go to the hospital after I’m done taking the medicine. Go now.” Chen Chen felt dizzy and could not be bothered to talk nonsense.
Bai Ran had no choice but to do as she was told. Fortunately, when she bought those things in the afternoon, she had also brought back some anti-inflammatory and fever medicine. She was afraid that this would happen.
After feeding Chen Chen water and taking medicine, she cleaned his wounds. The wounds had already scabbed over, and if she cleaned them again, she would have to tear it open again. Chen Chen groaned in pain, scaring Bai Ran so much that she retracted her hand.
“It’s nothing. Go on,” Chen Chen said in a daze.
After washing away the blood, Bai Ran began to clean the wound carefully. She only felt slightly relieved when she found two small pieces of glass and checked them a few times to confirm that they were gone.
After she was done, Bai Ran heaved a sigh of relief and leaned back on the sofa.
Chen Chen suddenly said, “I didn’t expect you to handle this so well.”
“Have you forgotten? Actually, I dealt with it for you a long time ago.” Bai Ran looked at the ceiling as the scene from back then surfaced in his mind.
“Is that so?” Chen Chen narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. His head hurt, and he was unwilling to think about it again.
“It has been more than ten years. You protected me like you did today.” Bai Ran’s eyes lit up when she thought of Chen Chen back then.
Perhaps it was on that day that Chen Chen inexplicably gave her a sense of security, and she fell deeply in love with him.
“I’ll cook you some porridge. You’re running a fever. Eat something light.” Bai Ran sat up and retracted her thoughts.
She walked to the kitchen.
Bai Ran went in and realized that the tap had been fixed. She recalled that she had bumped into him that day. It was a rare physical contact between her and Chen Chen.
It was ironic that they were married.
As the congee bubbled in the pot, Bai Ran suddenly heard her phone ring outside.
Bai Ran walked out and was about to pick it up when she realized that Chen Chen had already taken the initiative to answer the call.
“Hello.”
“She’s not here.”
“Yes, she’s cooking for me.”
“I’ll get her to call you back when she’s free.”
He hung up.
