Chapter 418: Secretly Taking Care of Nan Jin

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Murong Qiao and Nan Hao looked at each other for a moment, she looked away and turned around to call Ruan Ying to leave.

This time, the school had given a few days off for the weekend, so the three of them decided to play together tonight.

But…

Murong Qiao thought for a moment and recalled the Nan Hao that she saw in the hospital, and the Nan Hao who was now working part-time in the western restaurant. She subconsciously fell into a daze.

“Qiaoqiao?” Ruan Ying called out to her. “What are you thinking about? I called you for a long time, but you didn’t move.”

She stared at Murong Qiao curiously and asked directly.

Murong Qiao came back to her senses. “I’m fine… Also, I might have something on in the next few days, so I can’t go out with you.”

Ruan Ying nodded blankly. She thought that Murong Qiao was going to start working again, so she didn’t probe further.

But Murong Qiao’s thoughts were on Nan Jin.

She didn’t know how his condition was these few days since she didn’t go to see him.

The next afternoon, the hospital was bustling with people visiting the patients.

The blue and cloudless sky was good weather that made one feel relaxed. Even the smell of disinfectant that Murong Qiao found very annoying was not so unpleasant and pungent.

She had been to the hospital last time, so she naturally remembered Nan Jin’s ward.

Murong Qiao skillfully circled around the corridor and many complicated routes. The noisy environment gradually disappeared behind her. When she was closer and closer to the single ward area, it became much quieter.

When she reached the door, she bumped into a nurse pushing a cart out of the ward.

“Hello.” Murong Qiao walked forward and greeted her faintly.

She glanced at the obviously used syringe in the cart and understood. “May I ask how the patient’s condition is?”

“He’s still stable at the moment,” the nurse replied. Her gaze swept across Murong Qiao’s face and paused for a moment. “You’re his family?”

Even though Murong Qiao and Nan Jin’s looks did not have much in common, the nurse could still tell the similarities between the two of them.

Murong Qiao’s expression froze. For a moment, she didn’t nod or admit it despite the nurse’s words.

“He’s been quite well-behaved these past few days. He just doesn’t feel very sad for himself. When he wakes up, talk to him more.” The nurse didn’t care much and left after reminding her.

She naturally had other patients to take care of.

After Murong Qiao saw the nurse leave, she heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed. She stood at the door and glanced at the figure lying inside through the glass window.

The second half of the frosted glass was not very clear. Murong Qiao could only vaguely see Nan Jin lying quietly on the bed with an IV drip in his left hand.

Recalling what the nurse had just said, Murong Qiao was sure that Nan Jin was still in a deep sleep, so she pushed the door open quietly and walked in as softly as possible.

The ward was very quiet, and Murong Qiao even had the illusion that she could hear her nervous heartbeat.

The single ward was spacious enough, but it also looked empty and pale, so when Murong Qiao entered, she saw Nan Jin lying on the bed with a pale face, as if he had fallen asleep.

Murong Qiao pursed her lips and glanced around. At the same time, she placed the fruits she had brought on the bedside table beside him. In the end, her gaze landed on Nan Jin.

The blue and white striped hospital gown always gave off a sickly feeling. Coupled with Nan Jin’s pale face, it made him look even weaker. Murong Qiao looked at him for a while before taking the initiative to retract her gaze and look at the equipment beside him.

“Beep, beep—”

The detection status was green. Murong Qiao could only understand the fluctuations of the detection of heartbeats, but it looked like it was fine.

“You can also be so weak sometimes,” Murong Qiao muttered softly.

She sat quietly at the side. Looking at Nan Jin’s current state, her heart still fluctuated uncontrollably.

She admitted that because of the little kindness Nan Jin had given her previously, Murong Qiao had not forgotten it now. Therefore, she had come to the hospital to check on him during the holidays.

Murong Qiao was not proficient in taking care of patients. Her most self-aware common sense was to see if the drip was finished. However, as she followed the drip down, her gaze subconsciously landed on the back of Nan Jin’s hand.

There were a few needle holes there, and one of them was even swollen.

It was probably because the blood vessels were not easy to find or too thin, but his hand looked really miserable.

After looking at Nan Jin for a while, she took out her laptop and planned to work. The entire afternoon passed in a flash.

During this period, the nurse came in to change the IV drip twice. When it was the last time, Murong Qiao decisively packed her things and prepared to leave.

“You’re leaving just like that? He should wake up soon,” the nurse asked curiously.

She worked in the hospital and had seen many family members of the patients, but they were mostly there to show concern for the patients and stayed there to chat. It was rare for someone like Murong Qiao to stay for the entire afternoon and then leave without saying a word.

Murong Qiao glanced at Nan Jin, who was still unconscious. “Yes, I have something urgent to do. I’ll come and see him again next time.”

She lied without changing her expression, hiding her intention of not meeting Nan Jin.

Fortunately, the nurse didn’t think too much about it and only nodded to show her understanding. She even looked at Murong Qiao with a hint of sympathy. Perhaps it was because of Murong Qiao’s words that she had some strange imagination.

“Then you can come later next time. He will usually sleep during the day when he needs an IV drip.” The nurse reminded her kindly. “Speaking of which, I saw a very good-looking boy often come to take care of him previously. I don’t know if he’s busy these few days, but he hasn’t come.”

Murong Qiao immediately understood that the person the nurse was talking about was Nan Hao.

Nan Hao naturally didn’t have time. Thinking that the other party had specially asked her not to talk about his part-time job, Murong Qiao was silent for a moment before saying goodbye to the nurse.

Nan Xuan went to work early and returned late every day. Sometimes, he was so busy that he couldn’t be seen. Nan Hao wanted to share the burden of his Big Brother and secretly came out to work part-time.

In this way, Nan Jin, who was in the hospital, really had no one to take care of him. Murong Qiao wanted to sigh.

Fortunately, Murong Qiao remembered what the nurse had said just now and helped her set a time for her to come and take care of him in the future.

After Murong Qiao left, Nan Hao rushed to the hospital not long after and bumped into Nan Jin who had woken up.

“Brother? How do you feel? Are you feeling unwell?” Nan Hao asked.

He sat by the bed and was still holding the homework he had to do today. His tone was like that of a little adult, making people subconsciously smile.

Nan Jin covered his head and sat up. “…I’m fine. I already said that you don’t have to take care of me. You can go home.”

Nan Hao could tell that he didn’t care much about himself, so he didn’t retort. Seeing that Nan Jin didn’t have any needs, he turned around and began to do his homework again, as if he didn’t hear anything. He was so stubborn that Nan Jin felt helpless.

“I’ll go home to study after you recover,” Nan Hao said, silently rejecting Nan Jin’s words.

The air was filled with the sweet fragrance of fruits, triggering Nan Jin’s sense of smell.

He took a look and realized that there was a bag of fruits on the bedside table. At the top were a few red apples. They looked beautiful and cute and very appetizing.

Seeing this bag of beautiful fruits, Nan Jin didn’t think too much about it. He only thought that Nan Hao had bought it when he came to see him, so he casually picked one up and ate it.

This action happened to dispel the doubts in Nan Hao’s heart.

When he first came in and saw the fruits, he was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Nan Jin was eating so naturally, he mistakenly thought that it was brought by his friend or someone else.

The brain waves of the two brothers, who were not on the same channel, strangely reached the same point at this moment..
