Chapter 48 — A Moment of Ambiguity
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Actually, the robber's gun was aimed at me in the first place yesterday. I couldn't let someone else get hurt just because I dodged the bullet, so you don't need to thank me at all," Wei Zhao explained. "And you don't need to feel any burden about it either."
"Oh…" Hearing Wei Zhao say this, Guan Xin did not know what to say. She nodded, and the atmosphere turned a little awkward.
"All right, help me change my dressing," Wei Zhao said with a smile. "Nice to meet you, pretty nurse."
"My name is Guan Xin." Guan Xin was amused by Wei Zhao, and took the medical orders from his hand and began preparing the medicine.
After Guan Xin had prepared the ointment, she saw that Wei Zhao was still standing there, and could not help finding it funny. "What are you still doing? Hurry up and take off your pants!" After she said this, however, her face turned red despite herself.
In truth, treating a man's wound in that particular place was a first for Guan Xin. In the past, when cases like this came up, Sun Weimin would hand them to the married nurses in the department, while the young nurses like her were assigned to deal with minor cuts and scrapes on hands and feet.
But today was different. Wei Zhao was Guan Xin's benefactor, and Sun Weimin had said that Wei Zhao was to be "handled" by Guan Xin, and Guan Xin had not objected, so the matter was settled.
"Uh... this doesn't seem quite right..." Wei Zhao was the one feeling embarrassed now. Yesterday he had not even taken off his pants before rumors of a romance with Qiu Lingshan started flying; if he took them off today, would that not spell even more trouble?
Seeing a grown man like Wei Zhao turn bashful only made Guan Xin stop being shy herself; in fact, she found it rather amusing. "I'm a nurse, aren't I? What could you possibly have to hide from me? You should know that patients have no privacy before a doctor. There's a good boy, now hurry up and take off your pants..."
Having said all that, Guan Xin herself felt her cheeks grow warm. Why did she sound like a lecherous older sister luring some young boy astray?
Wei Zhao broke out in a sweat, but then he reasoned it through: Guan Xin was a nurse, so taking off his pants in front of her should not be a problem. He unfastened his belt without further fuss, pulled off his trousers, and sat down on the chair beside him.
"That's... my chair, but go ahead and sit..." Guan Xin saw him sitting on the chair she used for her work, wearing only his underwear, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. But on second thought, it was nothing, so she let him be.
Wei Zhao, for his part, felt apologetic. "I didn't know this was your chair... shall I move to another one?"
"Never mind, your leg is injured, so don't go shuffling around." As she spoke, Guan Xin had already crouched down and begun carefully examining the dressing on Wei Zhao's leg.
He looked thin from the outside, but his legs were unexpectedly muscular. No wonder, after taking a bullet, he had still been able to walk alongside the thugs. Guan Xin was secretly amazed.
Guan Xin slowly and carefully unwound the old dressing, but the more careful she was, the more nervous she became, especially with Wei Zhao's underwear bulging slightly right before her eyes, which made her feel her breathing quicken.
Her hand trembled faintly and brushed against the bulge in Wei Zhao's underwear. Guan Xin gave a start, and her face was already as red as the evening sunset.
Guan Xin was nervous, and Wei Zhao was not much better off. A pretty girl in a nurse's uniform, crouching right at his crotch, could hardly fail to set a man's imagination racing.
Fortunately Wei Zhao had fairly good self-control; otherwise a certain part of his body would have made a most untimely response. But that self-control was shattered by Guan Xin's touch...
