Chapter 1130: It’s Alright, This is My Job
Ning Shu said in an annoyed tone, “What are you moving around for? Of course still hurts a little to have medicine applied.”
Right now Ning Shu was wearing a mask so Zhu Yanqiu couldn’t tell that this rough nurse was his wife. All he felt was that this nurse’s attitude was very poor and that she pressed seriously hard on his wounds. That in addition to the alcohol the medicine contained caused his wound to hurt so much that it felt like it was ripping.
“Yanqiu, just endure it a bit more, alright?” Fang Feifei consoled Zhu Yanqiu, then said politely to Ning Shu, “Miss Nurse, let me apply it for him?”
Ning Shu’s voice was muffled through the mask. “It’s all right, this is my job.”
Fang Feifei couldn’t very well snatch the tools from her, so she could only watch on from the side. Ning Shu dipped another cotton ball in the medicine, then applied it to Zhu Yanqiu’s face. Her hand was just as heavy as before, so Zhu Yanqiu continuously inhaled sharply in pain. In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and ducked away from Ning Shu’s hand.
“What are you ducking for?” Ning Shu’s tone was irritated.
Zhu Yanqiu felt that it must have been a lifetime of accumulated bad luck for him to encounter a nurse like this. She wasn’t gentle at all.
“Feifei, you head back first. It’s about to get dark.” Zhu Yanqiu didn’t want Fang Feifei to see him in such a sorry state.
Fang Feifei glanced outside. It was almost dark, but when she saw Zhu Yanqiu’s face, she asked worriedly, “What about your injuries?”
“It’s fine, head back first. It’s not safe to walk back at night.” When Zhu Yanqiu talked to Fang Feifei, his eyes were filled with affection and his tone was very gentle.
When Ning Shu took in this gentle manner of his, she curled her lips in disdain and her hand which was holding the tongs moved slightly in annoyance. From what she remembered, Zhu Yanqiu had never spoken to Zhu Suniang this way.
His attitude has always been aloof, especially when he was little. He had completely treated Zhu Suniang as a maid. Zhu Suniang had to take care of all his meals and clothing, and during the summer he’d make her fan him all night and chase away the mosquitoes for him. It was only after they consummated marriage that his attitude towards her became slightly better.
When she saw his attitude towards Fang Feifei, all she could only say was that there was truly an enormous disparity between different people. No matter how much you did sometimes, certain people would never see your efforts.
Fang Feifei saw that Zhu Yanqiu insisted on her leaving and that his tone was filled with concern for her, so she nodded and smiled towards him before leaving.
Zhu Yanqiu kept looking in the direction that Fang Feifei had left in. His gaze was so gentle that the affection seemed about to overflow. Ning Shu rubbed the cotton ball on Zhu Yanqiu’s face, causing him to grimace in pain. His tone was angry as he said, “What is with your attitude? Can’t you be a bit gentler?”
No way!
Ning Shu said mildly, “I’m already being very gentle. You’re blaming me for your wound hurting? Do you intellectuals have no sense of reason?”
“Alright, you don’t need to treat me anymore.” Zhu Yanqiu pushed aside Ning Shu’s hand. When he saw the gleaming snow-white tongs in her hand, he felt his injuries pulse in pain again.
Ning Shu didn’t insist and closed the bottle of medicine as she said, “Hospital fee.”
A trace of awkwardness flashed across Zhu Yanqiu’s face. He felt around, but there was no money on him, so he said, “I was at a march today so I didn’t bring money.”
Ning Shu simply stared at him indifferently.
Zhu Yanqiu was starting to feel embarrassed from being stared at like this. He took off his watch and said in a slightly prideful tone, “This is a German mechanical watch. I’ll leave it with you for now and come back tomorrow to pay the hospital fee.”
