Chapter 61

Actually, although Chu Nan’s words were pleasant to hear, they were quite frustrating.

What does it mean that he can’t let her do that?

Please, when Chu Nan woke up, Xia Yuechan was already doing it, wasn’t she?

However, sometimes humans often have misunderstandings, and the root of these misunderstandings is that humans are emotional beings.

Even though Chu Nan had already enjoyed Xia Yuechan’s service that made his blood boil, even though Xia Yuechan had seen a man’s critical part for the first time in her life, even though... in a certain sense, she and Chu Nan had already developed an ambiguous relationship...

However, Chu Nan’s words made this fact seem wrapped in a veil of warmth and romance.

This gave people the illusion that Chu Nan would risk his own safety to protect Xia Yuechan’s purity.

Xia Yuechan’s heart was not so easily moved, but now... her heart could not calm down for a long time.

There were already so many things that happened today, which made it impossible for her to fully digest everything at this moment. She looked at Chu Nan with a complex and worried expression as he applied the needles to her...

Seeing Chu Nan wiping the cold sweat from his forehead while trying to remain calm as he applied the needles to her, Xia Yuechan was increasingly moved.

A man who cared so much about her reputation, Xia Yuechan could not help but be moved by him.

She took a deep breath, accepted the magical atmosphere of the moment, and placed the stockings with the strange liquid on the side. Then, she quickly pulled a white towel from the bedside table, stood up, and bent over. Without caring whether her ample chest was revealing any allure, she gently and carefully wiped the sweat and blood mixed on Chu Nan’s face.

Her heart had never slowed down.

For over two hours, Xia Yuechan accompanied Chu Nan through this.

Finally...

After Chu Nan took a long breath, everything returned to calm.

“Thud.”

His exhausted body, weak and powerless, fell onto the bed.

Chu Nan, who had finally finished applying the needles, could still feel the lingering heat in his body, but he knew that the medicine had been fully dissipated. Although the most fundamental need had not been resolved, with the unparalleled medical skills passed down from the Chu family, he would fully recover after a period of good rest.

If it were anyone else, they might have left some aftereffects if they didn’t relieve the heat through conventional means today. But fortunately, Chu Nan was not an ordinary doctor.

He took another long breath and quickly fell into a deep sleep, regardless of the environment.

He was completely drained of energy. Not to mention whether his already weak legs could stand, he didn’t even have the strength to prop himself up against the headboard.

Seeing Chu Nan fall asleep from exhaustion, Xia Yuechan knew he had resolved the crisis. At this moment, she marveled at Chu Nan’s astonishing medical skills, which she had never expected. But... she was still very worried...

Because she was very worried that Chu Nan might have some aftereffects... No, it wasn’t worry, but certainty!

The scene of Chu Nan’s nose bleeding, his consciousness blurred, and his life hanging by a thread, still lingered in her mind, unable to be erased.

But now, it was too late to say anything. The medicine had been neutralized, the internal injuries had been left, and the aftereffects were inevitable. So, even if Xia Yuechan were to take off Chu Nan’s pants again while he was unconscious and make another sacrifice, it would be of no use.

“Was what he said just now... the truth?”

Chu Nan’s words after he woke up still lingered in Xia Yuechan’s mind.

“To protect the reputation of a woman with no feelings or relationship, risking his own life and future... Is there really such a fool in this world?”

Xia Yuechan’s beautiful eyes shimmered with a complex expression in the darkness, trembling as she looked at the fool lying on her bed. ——Heaven knows, she had never thought that any normal man would refuse when she offered herself, let alone this fool who refused with his life at stake!!

Having seen too many bad people and bad deeds, Xia Yuechan was not naturally cold-hearted; she had long seen through this corrupt world. But today, Chu Nan gave her an unprecedented shock to her worldview and values. At least, before today, she firmly believed that there were no good men in this world, including her father. But now... she didn’t know. She found that her beliefs, for the first time in her life, were shaken.

And the man who shook her beliefs was not a great hero who could control the world, nor a hero who roamed the night, but... a lonely young man who couldn’t even pay his rent.

Night.

September 23rd.

2:50 AM.

Xia Yuechan would never forget this moment.

After fifteen years, she smiled sincerely for someone again.

For a fool who shouldn’t exist in this world.

...

When Chu Nan woke up again, it was already 2 PM.

He suddenly sat up, realizing he was back in his own place, in his own bedroom, and the goddess was no longer by his side.

“Uh...”

After being dazed for a while, he realized he was lying naked in the sheets. Next to his pillow, his silver needle box lay quietly.

“Uh... Who took off my clothes?” Chu Nan remembered clearly that he was still wearing clothes when he fell into a deep sleep last night.

“Could it be... Xia Yuechan...” Recalling the beautiful goddess who made his heart tremble, Chu Nan shook his head hard. He couldn’t quite believe it was real. After regaining his senses, he quickly processed everything that happened last night, and the ambiguous and enchanting experience made him feel like he was still dreaming.

“Sigh...”

Taking a deep breath, Chu Nan, still feeling some discomfort, opened the box without hesitation and performed acupuncture on himself again to consolidate his recovery.

After about half an hour, he had fully returned to reality. Putting away the silver needles, he noticed a note next to his pillow.

Picking it up, he saw a line of elegant and fresh handwriting.

“Chu Nan, do you remember what I told you before? We will pretend that everything that happened last night never happened. No one else besides you and me should know about it, understand? This is not a negotiation but an order. Otherwise, I will show you no mercy and make you and last night’s events disappear from this world.”

Seeing this, Chu Nan smiled bitterly. Ha, what a fierce threat... These words made it impossible for him to associate them with the gentle Xia Yuechan from last night.

Pausing, he continued reading, “Your body is not in good condition and needs to be nourished. I have had someone buy some tonics for you, which are in your living room. I hope you recover soon. Also, I have approved a month’s leave for you, during which your salary will be paid as usual. —Xia Yuechan.”

“...”

After reading this, Chu Nan smiled genuinely from the heart: “Ha, so... this is what it feels like to be cared for? —It’s really nice.”
