Chenxing’s heart clenched tightly, wishing she could take matters into her own hands and couldn’t help but say, "Doctor He, let do it."
Gu Shaocheng nodded, naturally preferring to be looked after by Chenxing, so he said to Doctor He, "Let her do it."
Doctor He was afraid Chenxing wouldn’t know how, intending to tell her so details to pay attention to, but before he could start, he saw Chenxing apply the compress to his foot with skilled movents like a professional.
Hua Hua stood by, full of worry, picking up the book that his brother had thrown to the ground and putting it back in its place, then guiltily ruffled his own hair: "Who would curse their brother to get sick? I’m just concerned about him."
As the saying goes, concern leads to chaos.
He was also there at the ti, witnessing his brother fall from the horse in that instant, his mind buzzing, barely believing his own eyes. Even if the horse had indeed acted up, with his brother’s skills and reaction tis, he could’ve easily avoided falling like that. Yet, he ended up taking a nasty spill and couldn’t get up for a long ti.
When he ran to help his brother, he felt as though his brother’s strength had completely drained away.
He couldn’t help but think back to the last ti his brother sat on the bathroom floor in a tantrum, and the ti before that when his brother tumbled on the golf course. Back then, his second brother said it was a spectacularly bad fall... Hua Hua considered himself a very attentive man, so he feared his brother was hiding sothing from him, worried he had the illness that Qianqian ntioned.
Gu Shaocheng sent a knowing glance, teasingly laughing at himself: "Seems like I’ve been out of luck lately, bad fengshui."
"It’s definitely because you force to drink sour plum soup every day, and now karma’s getting back at . Look, it’s just a twisted foot," Chenxing joined in the conversation, teasing him with a playful smile.
Gu Shaocheng, upon hearing her words, responded leisurely: "So it turns out it’s not bad fengshui, but that I’ve got a fem fatale by my side?"
The two of them bantered back and forth. Hearing Doctor He confirming it was just a twist eased Nan Baihao’s worries. Although his elder brother forbade him from looking into it, he was still very vexed and couldn’t wait to go to the stables to search for clues, so he excused himself early and left. Only Hua Hua brought over a chair to sit next to the bed and refused to leave.
"Hua Hua, if you’re busy, you don’t need to stay. I can take care of Shaocheng."
Hua Hua crossed his legs with a swagger, took out his nail clippers, and began to trim his nails: "I’m not busy, I’ll just stay and chat with my brother."
"Who needs you for company, get out, don’t stand around being a third wheel," Gu Shaocheng made a shooing gesture.
Hua Hua looked up at the ceiling, continuing to trim his nails.
"I’m talking to you. Did you hear ?" Gu Shaocheng grabbed a round grape from the fruit tray on the bedside table and threw it at him.
Hua Hua caught it, peeled it with a playful grin, and handed it over: "Bro, you really can’t neglect your bros for a beauty, it’s disheartening. Hehe, here, you eat."
With Hua Hua’s thick-skinned nature, Gu Shaocheng has never been able to do anything about him; after a few words, he showed no intention of leaving, so Gu Shaocheng just gave up and started chatting with him.
Chenxing sat beside them, watching the swelling on his ankle grow and felt a heart-wrenching pain.
"Shaocheng, does it hurt?"
"Just a minor pain, no big deal," he replied nonchalantly.
But Chenxing felt pained: "Are you sure it doesn’t hurt?"
"If I said such a small injury hurts, that’d be laughable. What do you think, does it hurt?"
