In the hospital, Zhou Yiyun lay in the bed with a pale face.
“Thank you!” Scar said to her.
Zhou Yiyun curled her lips. “Haha, do you have to be so formal!?”
Scar said seriously, “If you hadn’t been there, my brain would have been split.”
“Pow!” Xiao Si walked in and said, “Don’t scare her anymore. She’s frightened enough.”
Zhou Yiyun’s agent followed them and looked surprised. When she heard Xiao Si’s words, she said hurriedly, “Ah, it’s no big deal. It’s our Yiyun’s glory to get hurt protecting our country’s soldier!”
“Sister Yun…” Zhou Yiyun looked at her embarra.s.sedly, “What are you talking about?”
Scar nodded right away. “No matter what, I will take care of things during the time you’re in the hospital. If you have any problems, don’t ask Bear for help! Just ask me!”
“Well, that will be great!” The agent called Sister Yun said immediately, “Ah, Officer! I was recently troubled since Yiyun has no relatives and I can’t take care of her all by myself. Besides, she’s a star, so I can’t just find a nurse to look after her.”
Zhou Yiyun hurriedly stopped her, “Stop it. I don’t need anyone to take care of me.”
“Why not? Can your right arm move? How can you eat?” Sister Yun stared at her and said, “I’m busy enough delivering food for you every day. I don’t have time to take care of you.”
Xiao Si looked at Scar with a smile, which meant ‘you should take care of your own mess!’
“I’ll take care of her.” Unexpectedly, Scar agreed without hesitation.
As a result, Sister Yun left free of worry and said she would cook for Zhou Yiyun. When Scar sent Xiao Si out, she asked him, “Are you taking it as a reason to escape from your exercises?”
That kind of exercise could exhaust one’s energy completely. At the moment, Scar could have some days’ off.
“Do you think I’m like you?” Scar looked serious and added, “You don’t know what happened there. If she hadn’t reached out her hand, my head would have been cracked.”
“I know.” Xiao Si nodded. “Mrs. Jiang told me that the situation was very dangerous and even she wasn’t fast enough. If it hadn’t been for Zhou Yiyun, you would be in a tomb now.”
The whole incident was covered by Jiang Rui so no one knew what actually happened. To the outside, Zhou Yiyun was said to be ill and had to rest for a month.
The next day, Chen Chen and Ah Zi also went to the hospital to visit her. They also took Tuan Zi along.
“Aunt!” Tuan Zi carefully stared at Zhou Yiyun who was in bed. Then she turned around to talk to Scar, “Uncle Scar, the auntie is very beautiful!”
Scar was peeling an apple but he cut most of the eatable parts. He smiled with a bit of shyness, saying, “Yes.” Then he saw Chen Chen staring at him and quickly added, “But Mrs. Jiang is prettier!”
“Wow… such a kiss-a.s.s.” Ah Zi rolled her eyes.
Bear had secretly told her before that Jiang Rui used to tell them a rule: they weren’t allowed to say that Chen Chen was not beautiful…
“Yes! Yes!” Chen Chen picked up an apple to peel. “You’re talking nonsense.”
She gave a slice of the peeled apple to Zhou Yiyun. “Thank you!”
“Ah, I’ve heard so many thanks these days. I feel ashamed.” Zhou Yiyun smiled, “In that situation, everyone would do what I did. Don’t mention it anymore.”
“That’s different!” Chen Chen said seriously, “I’m here to represent Brother Xiao Rui. He said thank you for saving his bro. By the time the exercise is over, he will visit you in person!”
Scar had been watching the time. Suddenly, he stood up and said, “It’s time to change the medicine.”
The injury on Zhou Yiyun was so deep that you could even see the bone through it. Except for the western medicine the hospital offered, Hua Tuo also prepared some traditional Chinese medicine which had to be applied on the injury every day. Thus, when it recovered, there wouldn’t be a very obvious scar.
“Mrs. Jiang, I can do it. You don’t need to help.” Scar applied the medicine smoothly.
Ah Zi poked Chen Chen and said, “We should leave now. We can find some other time to visit her!”
“Um.” Chen Chen pulled Tuan Zi to say goodbye to Zhou Yiyun and took a look at her injury as she did so. Then she trembled inside.
When she returned home, she kept mumbling to Jiang Rui.
“You didn’t see it! The injury is so horrible!” When she was repeating the whole process, Jiang Rui who rarely went home early pressed her onto the bed and then the whole world was at peace.
After midnight, Chen Chen was hungry and Jiang Rui got up and cooked some noodles for her. When she was eating, she suddenly said, “Do you think… Zhou Yiyun will fall for Scar?”
“You should ask if Scar will fall for her.” Jiang Rui placed a piece of beef in her bowl. “Scar is the best sniper in the troops. And for three years, his camp has taken the first place in the exercise.”
“Um!” Chen Chen also agreed, “Our younger brothers are the best!”
Jiang Rui looked at her. “Scar is one year older than you.”
“Huh!” Chen Chen stared at him. “I’m your wife. Have you heard that an elder brother’s wife is like a mother?”
“Um!” Jiang Rui kissed her. “You’re right! You’re my wife! Your words are always true!”
Chen Chen’s face turned red. “Then… do you think Zhou Yiyun is proper?”
“She’s okay.” Jiang Rui fed her some vegetables. “But, Scar won’t like her. Besides, Zhou Yiyun may not like Scar.”
“I know. But don’t you think this is a good chance?” In Chen Chen’s mind, they stayed in the hospital together every day and Scar had to take care of her. Gradually, Zhou Yiyun might be touched. How did that sentence say?
‘Love begins with the feeling of touching.’
“If you want them to end up together, you can do what you want!” Jiang Rui touched her head. He was had been busy those days, so it would be nice if she had something to do.
Tuan Zi had already told him that Zhou Yiyun was clean. She saved Scar out of her instinct and true feelings rather than their relations.
In Jiang Rui’s eyes, if a man dared to sacrifice his own life for others, his character was good.
The next day, Chen Chen went to the hospital and bought some well-known soup. When she arrived, she realized that Scar had already bought it and had every flavor available.
“Haven’t I told you not to buy so much?” Zhou Yiyun said anxiously, “I’ll never be able to eat all these!”
Scar was opening the cap of the soups. “You won’t feel too full if you try a bit of every kind.”
“Chen Chen!” Zhou Yiyun saw Chen Chen standing by the door with a soup pot in her hand. She suddenly felt more worried.
“Haha!” Chen Chen walked to the table and laid down the pork ribs. “It seems that I can drink it myself.”
Scar quickly gave her a spoon. “Which one do you want?”
“Forget about me. Let Yiyun eat first.” Chen Chen waved her hand and sat aside.
Zhou Yiyun said nervously, “No. They will get cold soon. Let’s eat together!”
“I already ate before coming.” Chen Chen waved her hand. “You should eat now. Don’t waste our Scar’s treat.”
Scar pushed the table over and said, “Eat it.”
Zhou Yiyun had to pick from several pots. To keep a good figure, she was used to eating a little so she couldn’t eat much of it. When she finished eating, she saw Scar frowning again.
“I’m really full.” She said nervously as she did yesterday. Scar always thought she didn’t have enough.
Chen Chen said, “Scar, she can’t eat much. She’s an actress.”
“An actress also can’t starve herself to death. You see how thin she is? Just like a refugee.”
Zhou Yiyun smiled. “How is that such a big deal!”
“Scar, do you think I’m thin?” Chen Chen suddenly asked.
“…Your figure is very standard.” Scar rolled his eyeb.a.l.l.s. He didn’t dare to say she was as thin as a chick. If it was known by the master, he would be in trouble.
Chen Chen looked at him suspiciously. “Is there something wrong with your eyes?” She was clearly fatter than Zhou Yiyun. Even her face was rounder than Zhou Yiyun’s.
Several nurses went in and Scar hurriedly changed the subject, “You can take these away. Sorry to bother you.”
“No problem! No problem!” The nurses took the soups away with smiles.
Chen Chen saw one of them with her mouth watering. No wonder those nurses smiled so happily when she visited. They had free soup every day.
“Scar!” Chen Chen said smilingly, “You can go back and have a rest. I’ll have a chat with Yiyun!”
Scar shook his head. “Mrs., I’m not tired.” Then he just sat there like a guard.
“But… it’s improper for you to listen to the talk between us girls!” Chen Chen said angrily.
“I’ll wait by the door.” Scar stood up and felt scared.
He knew Chen Chen and thought she wouldn’t tell anything good to Zhou Yiyun.
When he walked outside, he remembered Xiao Si asking him on the phone the night before, “Well, does Zhou Yiyun want your status? Or does she like you?”
Being honest, he wanted neither of those to happen.
If she wanted his status, he didn’t mind. She saved his life, so it would be okay for her to depend on him. But Scar really looked down on that kind of woman who wanted to make use of him.
If she was the second…
He didn’t even think about it because it was impossible. They had only met for a few times. If that incident hadn’t happened, they wouldn’t have even met each other.
“Do you have something to say?” In the room, Zhou Yiyun felt nervous under her eyes. “Just say it!”
Chen Chen sat next to her, “What do think about Scar?”
“Ah?” Zhou Yiyun didn’t get it.
“I think he is very nice and manly! Although there’s a scar on his forehead, my brother said that scars are medals for a man!” Chen Chen mumbled, “If you really look at Scar’s face, you’ll find he is actually pretty handsome!”
If Zhou Yiyun still didn’t understand Chen Chen’s meaning, she would be an idiot.
She asked in surprise, “Do you want to ask… if I like Scar?”
“Yes! Yes!” Chen Chen nodded quickly. “Do you like him?”
Zhou Yiyun looked at her with interest. “Have you asked him? Does he like me?”
Chen Chen had intended to say that she was so pretty and that he had to like her. But she suddenly recalled Jiang Rui’s words about Scar liking fierce women. So she hesitated.
“Haha!” Zhou Yiyun knew it would be like that. She organized her words and said, “It’s not like in the ancient times when you had to give your life to the person who saved you. I’m not even a friend of Scar, so don’t worry about it.”
Chen Chen left with sorrow. Her career of being a matchmaker ended before it could start…
