Suddenly being shouted at, Xiao Rui trembled all over. He felt scared.
Li Yan frowned at the scene and interrupted the doctor before he could start another round of berating.
“You go out, he’ll help me.”
The doctor thought he was talking about Xiao Rui. “Get out quickly, don’t disturb my treatment.”
Xiao Rui was completely confused. Wasn’t it you who asked me to come in? Now you look like you want to kick me out?
Considering that Li Yan was indeed injured, Xiao Rui said nothing and prepared to leave.
“Who told you to go out?”
???
If it wasn’t him, then who was it?
There were only the three of them there. As Xiao Rui’s gaze fell on the doctor, the doctor suddenly understood that Li Yan was clearly talking about him.
He was furious. “I’m a doctor! How can you want to kick me out!”
Xiao Rui wasn’t dull to the point of not knowing the seriousness of the matter. He hesitated and said, “How can we not see a doctor? I’ll go out first, and when it’s done, I’ll come back in.”
“Stop!”
Li Yan’s voice was cold and his eyes were icy.
Xiao Rui immediately recognized that Li Yan was angry.
“You go out.”
Seeing that he was was stubborn, the doctor left while still grumbling.
Xiao Rui escorted him to the door and apologized, “Sorry, he has this temperament. Thank you for your trouble.”
The doctor huffed, saying nothing as he left in a huff.
Once Xiao Rui went back inside, Li Yan extended his hand and said, “You do it.”
“This… Boss, I don’t know how to do that…”
Li Yan smiled. “You learned this before, you say you don’t know?”
Xiao Rui was stunned. “How did you know, Boss?”
He didn’t mention that he had studied surgery before, though he was only a half-baked student. From the moment he started working with Li Yan, he considered that part of his past. No one had ever brought it up.
So he was curious how Li Yan knew about it.
“What do you think?”
That same answer again. Whenever there was something Li Yan didn’t want to discuss, he’d just throw it back with, “What do you think?”
Fortunately, Xiao Rui was used to it now and didn’t press further.
“Come here.”
Xiao Rui took the disinfectant supplies, feeling a bit uneasy.
“Are you really going to let me do it? What if I mess it up and it gets worse? You won’t hunt me down, right? Boss~”
He added the last part to remind Li Yan that he was the one in a higher position and should respect his elders and love the young.
“Fine, just do it.”
Under Li Yan’s glare, Xiao Rui finally settled down.
With the arm broken, he could only rely on his experience to handle it.
After struggling for a long time, Xiao Rui hadn’t even managed to get a splint on. Just as he was panicking, Li Yan took over.
“Don’t rush.”
“Oh, make it tight. If it’s loose, we’ll have to take it off and redo it later.”
Xiao Rui reminded him.
When it was finally done, Xiao Rui collapsed on the floor, exhausted and with sore hands.
He looked up at Li Yan, whose clothes were now a mess because he struggled for a long time. Li Yan instinctively tugged at his collar to alleviate his irritation.
Now when Xiao Rui glanced over, the first thing he noticed was Li Yan’s fair skin and beautiful collarbone.
He didn’t know how long he stared, but soon his ears turned red. He felt a wave of heat, causing him to shift his gaze.
Even after looking away, the image of that dazzling whiteness lingered in his mind, making him shake his head frantically.
What a mess of thoughts. He couldn’t think any further.
