The doctor came out of the emergency room and took off his mask.

Chu Junbai rushed forward, "How is he?"

The doctor smiled when he saw the two grown men looking anxious.

Ye Jincheng was already anxious, and seeing this, he became somewhat angry. "What are you laughing at? Just answer my question, why are you beating around the bush? What's wrong with him?"

The doctor wasn't angry. Instead, he calmly said, "The carotid artery wasn't cut; it was just punctured. There's no danger to his life."

"Nothing wrong? If nothing's wrong, why have you been using it for so long?" Ye Jincheng asked angrily.

Even if it's just a scratch, we still need to bandage it.

At this moment, the other doctors and nurses also came out, but Mu Xiaowan was nowhere to be seen.

"What about people?"

"The girl is frightened and is inside. You'll be able to go back in a little while."

Ye Jincheng hurriedly ran inside, but stopped after a few steps and looked at Chu Junbai.

Chu Junbai frowned deeply.

He glanced at Ye Jincheng and strode inside.

Mu Xiaowan lay on the bed, covered with a quilt. Her eyes were tightly closed, her face was deathly pale, and her lips were bluish-black. She looked lifeless.

She was trembling all over, her jaw clenched so tightly it made a clicking sound.

A pair of not-so-delicate hands gripped the blanket tightly, her brows furrowed.

His neck was wrapped in thick gauze.

"This doesn't look like anything's wrong; the person is unconscious. I'll go ask the doctor."

Ye Jincheng's face darkened, and he chased after the doctor to ask him questions.

"Didn't they say she was alright? Why is she unconscious?"

"How did that girl get injured?"

"She's been frightened, her whole body is cold, and she's very tense. She'll feel better once she warms up. Go and get some hot water bottles from the nurse. It's fine if she stays here or is taken to a ward. But if she's taken to a ward, we'll have to go through the admission process, which we don't really need."

The doctor added, "However, the girl has dark circles under her eyes. She probably fell asleep because she was exhausted. Let her sleep a little longer; she'll wake up naturally when she's had enough sleep."

"So she just fell asleep from exhaustion? Is she alright?" Ye Jincheng asked again, still not entirely reassured.

"It's really nothing, you're just worrying too much."

Ye Jincheng was relieved to hear the doctor's words.

He walked back into the emergency room.

"The doctor said that Xiao Wan was frightened, which is why she kept trembling. As for her being unconscious, it's because she's been too tired these past two days. She'll wake up on her own."

Chu Junbai looked at Mu Xiaowan, wondering why she was so tired.

He pulled the blanket out of Mu Xiaowan's hand and put her hand inside the blanket.

Mu Xiaowan's hands were very cold.

She's always been sensitive to the cold, and it'll only get colder today.

"You watch over her, I'll go get some hot water bottles."

Chu Junbai took two steps and then stopped.

"Go and get her admitted to the hospital, let her sleep in the ward first." That way, her family will worry when they see her back home.

Ye Jincheng returned shortly afterward.

"The wards are all full. Did you drive? Or can I take you back to your place?"

Chu Junbai looked at Mu Xiaowan and said, "My house isn't warm, and she's afraid of the cold."

"Or, how about sending it to me?" Ye Jincheng thought that since Chu Junbai didn't care about Mu Xiaowan, there was nothing wrong with sending her to him.

Chu Junbai slightly lifted his eyelids, his dark eyes looking at Ye Jincheng.

Ye Jincheng felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm just trying to help you."

"It's nothing, it's just that this is the first time I've seen you so enthusiastic towards anyone."

Chu Junbai noticed a tuft of hair on Mu Xiaowan's cheek, and he reached out to brush it away for her, a very natural gesture.

"Take me there. I'll go back and start the stove first. The temperature will rise soon. You stay here and watch over it."

After Chu Junbai finished speaking, he turned and walked out. After taking a few steps, he turned back and instructed, "Go to the nurse and get a hot water bottle first."

He didn't want Mu Xiaowan to cause him any trouble.

If he freezes to death, it will still be his responsibility.

If she doesn't freeze to death but catches a cold, he'll have to take care of her. Even if he doesn't take care of her, it will still be a burden on his family, so he's doing this just to avoid causing Mu Xiaowan any trouble for them.

Chu Junbai returned to his dormitory, lit the stove, and instructed the soldiers to watch over it before driving back to the hospital.

Chu Junbai also took a blanket, and she wrapped Mu Xiaowan in the blanket until she was completely covered before carrying her out.

Upon contact with the cold air, Mu Xiaowan frowned and buried her head in Chu Junbai's arms.

Chu Junbai glanced down at her and quickened his pace.

After this back and forth, the stove was lit, and the dormitory was warm.

This was a single bed, and after Chu Junbai put Mu Xiaowan down, the bed was filled up.

He carefully covered Mu Xiaowan with the blanket.

Ye Jincheng stood in front of the stove, looked away, and asked, "What are you doing at the hospital today?"

"The instructor has a fever, so I took him to the hospital."

I never expected to run into Ye Jincheng and Mu Xiaowan at the hospital.

"Since Xiao Wan is alright, I'll head back now. I wonder if they've caught the culprit?"

Ye Jincheng gave the medicine to Chu Junbai.

"There are ointments for application and oral medication. Be careful not to let it get windy or cold, otherwise the wound will become infected and it will be dangerous."

Ye Jincheng is gone.

Chu Junbai added some charcoal to the stove, then turned to look at Mu Xiaowan sleeping on the bed.

At this moment, Mu Xiaowan had not yet recovered and her brows were still furrowed.

What has she been busy with these past few days? How come she looks so tired?

She was already very thin, but now she looks terribly thinner after just a few days. Her chin is so sharp it could be used as a cone.

Chu Junbai went out and returned shortly afterward, carrying two IV drip bottles.

He poured hot water from the thermos into the pot, plugged it with a stopper, then lifted the blanket and put it inside.

"Captain, is this enough charcoal?"

Team member Xiaolin brought in a bucket of charcoal.

He glanced at Mu Xiaowan on the bed and asked curiously, "Captain, is this your sister-in-law? She's really beautiful."

"Go to sleep."

"it is good!"

Xiao Lin glanced at Mu Xiaowan again, thinking to himself that the captain was really good to his sister-in-law.

He rarely lights the stove himself.

With my sister-in-law here, the house is so warm it's unbelievable.

The captain just searched the brothers' dormitory and found two IV bottles, probably for his wife to use as thermos flasks.

It's clear how much the captain cares about his sister-in-law.

Chu Junbai had no idea that Xiao Lin had thought so much just because he delivered a bucket of charcoal.

He added a little more charcoal, pulled the blanket up for Mu Xiaowan, and then sat down in the chair in front of his desk, putting his long legs on the table.

Then close your eyes.

……

Mu Xiaowan dreamt that she fell into a fire pit while she was sleeping. It was so hot that she tore off her clothes and threw them aside. Once she felt comfortable, she went back to sleep.

Chu Junbai opened his eyes when he heard the sound of the thermos falling to the ground.

The first thing you see is clothes scattered on the ground, with two IV drip bottles next to them.

His gaze moved upwards and he saw Mu Xiaowan's snow-white arms and half of her smooth back.
