Chapter Four
"I'll take you to the hospital."
Gu Jinhuai grabbed Song Yuan's hand and swept past me.
Looking into his eyes, I felt a thousand holes in my heart.
He glanced at her arm, which was only red, and gave a wry smile.
"elder brother!"
Gu Zi called out from beside him, but the man in front of him walked hurriedly, showing no intention of stopping.
"Nanzhi, it must hurt a lot, I'll take you to the hospital."
Seeing that Gu Zi was about to cry, I endured the burning pain in my arm, forced a smile, and comforted her, "I'm fine, you don't need to go to the hospital."
I am unable to pay for medical expenses, and I do not want to spend Gu Zi's money anymore.
"No, we have to go to the hospital. What if it leaves a scar?"
Gu Zi was adamant and tried to drag me to the hospital, but I interrupted her.
"Gu Zi, thank you for your help during high school. I will repay you in the future. I can go to the hospital by myself."
I had barely finished speaking when Gu Zi's phone rang in her bag. Looking at the angry expression on her face, I knew it was probably another of Song Yuan's little tricks.
"Brother, she's a grown woman, can't she take care of herself? Isn't she still here for you? Do you know how badly Nanzhi is injured!"
"She has parents, she doesn't need your help, she's not going to die..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gu Zi hung up on him.
Gu Zi looked at me with a worried expression, and I smiled slightly: "Go ahead, I can manage on my own."
"Then you must go to the hospital."
Although Gu Zi hated what her brother did, she was also afraid of her brother when he had a dark expression.
"Yes, sir!"
I gave her a reassuring look and watched her leave. Then I glanced at the blisters on my arm and touched the burning sensation on my neck. For a moment, I couldn't see clearly.
"Little girl, come in quickly and rinse yourself with cold water."
The kind proprietress saw that I was about to leave and hurriedly pulled me to the back kitchen to rinse me with cold water.
"I'm so sorry about what happened just now. Don't worry, I'll pay for the medical expenses."
I didn't have the heart to refuse; after all, I really needed the money right now.
Although this amount of money is not much, combined with what I have saved myself, I can escape that terrible family after the college entrance examination.
I left only after the burning sensation in my arm subsided, taking the three thousand yuan the landlady had given me.
I bought disinfectant and burn ointment, then sat on a chair by the roadside, popped the blisters, disinfected them, and applied the ointment.
Suddenly, the bright light in front of me was blocked. I belatedly looked up and met a pair of deep, affectionate peach blossom eyes.
"Zhou Nanzhi, what a coincidence!"
I stared at the boy who appeared in front of me, a hint of fear creeping into my eyes.
Song Yuzhou, Song Yuan's half-brother, was one of her many suitors. In order to help Song Yuan get Gu Jinghuai, he relentlessly pursued her, causing misunderstandings and even trying to kill her. Later, she learned that he had an almost obsessive love for Song Yuan.
"unfortunately."
I gave a cold reply and packed my things to leave.
As I passed by him, my bandaged arm was grabbed, and Song Yuzhou pressed hard on my wound as if on purpose. I couldn't help but cry out in pain.
When I saw the wound on my arm, Song Yuzhou was stunned for a moment. I shook off his hand and laid it straight: "I don't like Gu Jinghuai. You don't need to test me for Song Yuan's sake."
I turned to leave after saying that, but Song Yuzhou quickly caught up with me, looking at me with a conciliatory expression: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you..."
I impatiently interrupted him: "Does ignorance give you the right to hurt others? Please move aside."
Song Yuzhou seemed surprised by my change, avoiding my injured arm, and said in a serious tone: "A young lady shouldn't have such a fiery temper. Since I'm the one who injured you, I'll take responsibility."
In the end, no matter how much I resisted, Song Yuzhou still dragged me to the hospital.
I don't know if he did it on purpose, but he went to the best hospital under the Gu Group, which is also the best hospital in the entire capital.
"Let's go, what are you standing there for?"
Seeing that I wasn't going in, Song Yuzhou grabbed me and pulled me away.
I was forced to go inside, with the man's incessant chatter still lingering in my ears.
"Dr. Zhao is the best doctor here. Let her examine you; it won't leave a scar."
But when we went to Dr. Zhao's office, we heard Song Yuan crying.
"Jinghuai, will my arm leave a scar? It still hurts so much. Can you blow on it for me?"
"Row."
I watched as Gu Jinhuai gently held her arm, as if handling a fragile work of art, carefully bringing himself close to her and gently blowing on it.
Their eyes were full of tenderness, the warm sun shone through the window, and the two were deeply in love, creating a beautiful scene that one would not want to break.
Song Yuzhou glanced at Song Yuan's red arm without making a sound, then pulled me inside with a nonchalant smile on his face: "Dr. Zhao, could you please take a look at her?"
"Sorry, I'm not done yet. Could you wait a little longer?"
Dr. Zhao looked at me apologetically. Yes, Dr. Zhao was hired by the Gu family at a high salary, how could she not have shown me the doctor with Gu Jinghuai's permission?
A bitter smile appeared on my lips, but I remained silent.
"It still sounds better, Dr. Zhao. Could you take another look at it?"
Song Yuan acted affectedly, with glistening tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at me apologetically, but what she said was infuriating: "Zhou Nanzhi, I'm sorry, but why don't you find another doctor?"
"No need, I studied medicine before, I'll bandage you."
Song Yuzhou, who was standing to the side watching the show, pulled me to sit down. I was about to refuse when I saw him easily pick up the medical kit on Dr. Zhao's desk and carry it away.
He glanced at Song Yuan's arm and scoffed, "Cry a little longer, maybe she'll feel better!"
As I listened to Song Yuzhou's words, the corners of my mouth unconsciously curled up. Just then, Gu Jinghuai saw my action. I pursed my thin lips and shifted my gaze, which happened to fall on Song Yuzhou.
I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like the temperature in the whole room has suddenly dropped a lot.
"It's so cold!"
Dr. Zhao muttered something to himself, then got up and closed the window.
"Bear with it."
While I was distracted, Song Yuzhou had already removed the gauze from my arm, revealing a horrific and hideous wound. I gritted my teeth and stubbornly kept quiet.
"Zhou Nanzhi, you're really ruthless to yourself. You're going to such lengths for a man who's not even important to you?"
Song Yuzhou's gaze seemed to fall on Gu Jinghuai almost imperceptibly.
"It was an accident, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
I casually lifted my eyelids and looked at the troublemaking Song Yuzhou, my tone indifferent and without any fluctuation.
Looking at my calm expression, Song Yuzhou seemed to have discovered a new continent, and remained motionless for a long time.
I impatiently pressed, "Are you even capable of doing this?"
Song Yuzhou suddenly leaned close to my ear, looking at Gu Jinghuai with a provocative gaze and a wicked smile in his voice: "Zhou Nanzhi, a man can't say no!"
