"I wanted to wait until you woke up before I went. I wouldn't rest easy if you didn't wake up... It's nothing, just a minor injury," Fu Huaishen said, holding up his hand.
Ye Wan looked at the blisters on his skin and pulled his arm, leading him out to find a nurse. The nurse had already prepared the supplies and said with a smile, "Your boyfriend is so good to you. He wouldn't leave you even when you were unconscious. He refused treatment for his own wounds when the doctor said he should get them treated first."
"He's not my boyfriend," Ye Wan corrected quickly.
"Really? He's not your boyfriend yet, but he's so attentive. You should consider him," the nurse said with a smile.
Fu Huaishen raised an eyebrow and looked at her meaningfully, his smile deepening.
Ye Wan pursed her lips, unsure of what to say. When she fell into the inferno, she had truly believed that she and her brother would die there. She had been so desperate. Then he suddenly appeared and pushed away the flaming pillar that was about to crush her. Watching him pick up her brother and pull her to safety, her mind had been a blur, but her heart had found peace.
Her hand was suddenly clasped. Fu Huaishen used his uninjured left hand to squeeze her soft palm, winked at her, and assumed his usual roguish expression.
"I'll go see Ye Cheng first, and then I'll come back to see you," Ye Wan said, snatching her hand back as if burned, and ran off.
Fu Huaishen smiled as he watched her escape. A sharp pain suddenly shot through his palm, and he gasped, "Gently... gently!"
He looked at his badly burned palm with disgust and turned away. It was too ugly!
...
Ye Wan saw her brother. He was asleep now. The doctor said he should be fine and that a comprehensive examination would be done once he woke up.
"Ye Wan, you should go take a bath and tidy yourself up. Ye Cheng will be sad if he sees you like this when he wakes up," the nurse reminded her.
Ye Wan went to the restroom and was startled by her soot-covered face in the mirror. She quickly turned on the tap to wash her face. Her body and neck were also covered in grime. At that moment, a nurse handed her a set of clothes and said, "Take a bath and change into these."
Ye Wan thanked the nurse and carefully washed herself in the restroom. She had a few minor burns on her body, but fortunately, they were not serious. A little bit of her hair had been singed, and she would trim it later.
After her bath, she changed into the clothes and walked out. The outfit fit perfectly and was very comfortable – a white loose-fitting sweater, black skinny jeans, and a pair of white platform shoes. They looked expensive.
"Sister, how much are these clothes? I'll transfer the money to you."
"Your boyfriend asked me to give them to you. Your boyfriend is truly good to you. He didn't even care about his injuries and stayed by your side while you were unconscious," the nurse said with a smile.
Ye Wan...
Ye Wan decided not to explain anymore and went out to find Fu Huaishen. He had already had his hand treated and had it bandaged. He was using his arm to hold a bottle of water and was trying to unscrew it.
Ye Wan walked over, took the bottle, and unscrewed it for him. "Thank you for today."
"How do you plan to thank me?" Fu Huaishen smiled and took the water bottle with his uninjured hand, taking a few sips.
"How would you like me to thank you?" Ye Wan knew that without him today, she and her brother would have perished in the fire. She was truly grateful to him.
"If I were to say it, it would be for you to marry me and be my wife," Fu Huaishen said, leaning closer to her.
"Fu Huaishen, stop messing around!" Ye Wan instinctively took a step back. She definitely couldn't agree to this request.
