Chapter 329: Siblings
‘Knife wound?’
Gu Qingjiu sneaked a peek at Qi Xiaoran’s waist.
Qi Xiaoran sensed Gu Qingjiu’s gaze and tugged her s.h.i.+rt down. Her expression was indifferent as she said, “It’s nothing much.”
Evidently wis.h.i.+ng to say no more.
The doctor had seen so many patients, but it was her first time seeing someone with such an indifferent expression with a knife wound.
And this was too strange.
“Even if it was nothing much, you should clean the wound properly. One look at it and I can tell that it’s not professionally done. It’s something you did at the go?”
The doctor knew that some people had secrets so if Qi Xiaoran wouldn’t say a thing about it, she wouldn’t probe. However, as a doctor, she had to treat the wound.
After helping Qi Xiaoran to the bed, she started cleaning up the wound on her waist.
Gu Qingjiu looked from the side. Qi Xiaoran did not say anything and she did not ask as well.
“You’re lucky that the wound is not deep. The way you treated the wound makes it p.r.o.ne to infection. You really have guts!”
The doctor spoke as she applied medication.
Gu Qingjiu could see that even though the doctor said that the wound wasn’t deep, it was long. As the doctor applied the medicine, she could tell from Qi Xiaoran’s instantly pale complexion that it hurt a lot.
And her lips which she was biting hard on, unwilling to make a single sound.
Her tolerance was insane.
Suddenly, urgent footsteps sounded from outside.
Gu Qingjiu followed the sound and turned to look out, seeing a slender figure at the entrance.
It was Qi Yefan.
He was clad in a fas.h.i.+onable gray checkered coat, appearing clean and generous.
Yet, that handsome face of his was colored in worry.
His brown eyes saw Gu Qingjiu immediately.
He sped past Gu Qingjiu. It was almost April and Gu Qingjiu could feel a cold breeze coming from Qi Yefan.
“Ranran!”
Qi Yefan saw Qi Xiaoran biting her lips in pain as she tried to bear the pain.
His face appeared troubled, pained, and filled with self-blame.
“Older brother…”
Qi Xiaoran looked at Qi Yefan as she tried to smile.
When the doctor heard that, she paused and didn’t chase Qi Yefan away. She quickly said, “I’ve treated the wound so she’s fine already. Rest well for the next few days and don’t let water touch the wound. Don’t partic.i.p.ate in training as well. Which course are you from? I will give you a medical exemption for you to pa.s.s it to your instructor.”
Qi Yefan grabbed Qi Xiaoran’s wrist and pulled her into an embrace. The doctor pointed at Qi Yefan. “What are you doing? I’ve just rebandaged her, don’t touch it!”
Although she said that, she looked at Qi Yefan with a weird gaze. “You’re the patient’s older brother?”
Qi Yefan’s face was dark beyond belief and his aura was bitingly cold. He continued looking at Qi Xiaoran, making a sound of acknowledgment without turning back.
Qi Xiaoran explained, “He’s my older brother. Sorry for the trouble, I’m from electrical engineering.”
“Okay, I will give you an exemption letter.”
The doctor left without nagging.
Gu Qingjiu watched from the side. It felt like she had nothing else to help so she said, “Xiaoran since your brother is here, I will leave first. You can call me if you need me.”
“Okay!”
Qi Xiaoran finally revealed a smile to Gu Qingjiu.
But after she looked at Qi Yefan whose back was facing Gu Qingjiu, that smile vanished.
