"Actually, that robber's gun was aimed at me to begin with yesterday. I couldn't let myself dodge a bullet and get someone else killed, so there's no need at all to thank me," Wei Zhao explained. "And you don't need to carry any burden over it either."
"Oh..." Hearing this, Guan Xin did not know what to say. She nodded, and the mood cooled into an awkward silence.
"All right, help me change the dressing." Wei Zhao smiled. "Nice to meet you, pretty nurse."
"My name is Guan Xin." Guan Xin was amused by Wei Zhao, and taking the doctor's orders from his hand, she began to prepare the medicine.
Once Guan Xin had the ointment ready, she saw that Wei Zhao was still standing there, which struck her as rather funny. "What are you still doing? Hurry up and take off your pants!" The moment the words were out, her face flushed red of its own accord.
In truth, treating a wound in that particular place on a man was a first for Guan Xin. In cases like this, Sun Weimin had always handed the work to the married nurses in the department; young nurses like her were assigned the odd scrape or cut on a hand or foot.
But today was different. Wei Zhao counted as her benefactor, and since Sun Weimin had said he would leave Wei Zhao in Guan Xin's hands to "deal with," she had not objected either — and so the matter was settled.
"Uh... that doesn't seem quite appropriate..." Now it was Wei Zhao who grew embarrassed. Yesterday, before he had even taken off his pants, rumors had sprung up about him and Qiu Lingshan; if he took his pants off today, wouldn't that make things even worse?
Seeing a grown man like Wei Zhao squirming instead, Guan Xin stopped feeling shy and found it rather amusing. "I'm a nurse, you know. What do you have to hide from me? You should know that patients have no privacy in front of a doctor. Be a good boy now — off with the pants..."
Having said all that, Guan Xin herself felt her face grow warm. Why did she sound like some lecherous older sister luring a young boy astray?
Wei Zhao broke out in a sweat, but then he let it go. Guan Xin was a nurse; there should be nothing wrong with taking off his pants in front of her. So he undid his belt without further fuss, took off his pants, and sat down on the chair beside them.
"That's... my chair. But go ahead and sit." Seeing Wei Zhao in his underwear sitting in the chair where she usually worked, Guan Xin felt a little embarrassed; but on second thought it was nothing, and she let him be.
Wei Zhao, though, was apologetic. "I didn't know this was your chair... Should I move to another one?"
"Never mind. You've got a wound on your leg — don't go shuffling about." As she spoke, Guan Xin had already crouched down and begun carefully examining the bandage on Wei Zhao's leg.
Wei Zhao looked thin on the outside, but his legs were so muscular — no wonder he had still been able to walk along with the robbers after taking a bullet. Guan Xin marveled to herself.
Guan Xin slowly unwrapped the old bandage, a bit at a time; but the more careful she was, the more nervous she became. Especially with Wei Zhao's underwear bulging there right before her eyes, she felt her breathing quicken.
Her hand gave a slight tremor and brushed against the bulge in Wei Zhao's underwear. Guan Xin was startled, and her face had already gone as red as the sunset in late afternoon.
If Guan Xin was nervous, Wei Zhao was no better off. A pretty girl in a nurse's uniform crouching between his legs could hardly fail to set a man's imagination running.
Luckily Wei Zhao's self-control was fairly good; otherwise, a certain part of him would have made a most untimely response. But that self-control was shattered by Guan Xin's touch...
