Chapter 1131: Chapter 1131: Could Die at Any Moment (2)
Xiu Xi wrapped Ruan Jiaojiao’s injured little hand in a handkerchief, then squatted down in front of her.
Ruan Jiaojiao actually felt that this injury didn’t require a hospital visit at all, but seeing the tense expressions of the people around her, particularly Xiu Xi’s cold and imposing demeanor, she knew that if she didn’t go, they would definitely be worried. In the end, she silently swallowed her words, obediently climbed onto his back, and rested her small head on his shoulder.
At this moment, the voices of people discussing around her reached her ears.
"Isn’t this the little genius from Class Two, only ten-something years old?"
"This guy looks really handsome, is he mixed-race?"
"Are they siblings? Wow, this brother is so nice, personally escorting her to the restroom."
"..." Ruan Jiaojiao thought, damn, personally escorting to the restroom!
Moreover, shouldn’t the focus now be on the broken faucet in the restroom that injured her hand? Why are they just fixated on discussing her being escorted to the restroom?
Ruan Jiaojiao still found Xiu Xi’s behavior odd, and she couldn’t hold it in any longer. While being carried to the hospital by Xiu Xi, she couldn’t help but ask again, "Brother Xiu, are you really not hiding anything from me?"
Xiu Xi paused for a moment and didn’t answer. He was unable to answer because he had once promised that as long as she asked, he would tell her and would not hide anything from her.
But.
This time, he hesitated.
The thought of possibly dying at any moment is terrifying for anyone, and Xiu Xi’s mouth felt glued shut, unable to speak. He really didn’t want her to live in constant fear of his sudden death.
"Brother Xiu?" Ruan Jiaojiao tugged at his ear, intentionally speaking louder, "Brother Xiu, are you deaf? Why aren’t you answering me."
"Let’s go to the hospital to treat the wound first," Xiu Xi replied.
"Fine." Ruan Jiaojiao wrapped her arms around his neck, paused for two seconds, and couldn’t help but softly say, "Actually, I don’t think it’s necessary to go to the hospital. It’s just a minor injury; we can use the medicine from before..."
"No way, we must get a tetanus shot immediately," Xiu Xi said sternly. With her current luck, it’s entirely possible she could die from tetanus due to this small wound.
Hearing the seriousness in Xiu Xi’s words, Ruan Jiaojiao knew it was useless to say anything more, and she had to hold onto him obediently.
The old doctor in the outpatient department had a subtly peculiar expression when he saw Ruan Jiaojiao, "Young lady, did you step in dog poop or something?" Otherwise, how could your luck be so bad? Yesterday you were cut by the inside of a hot water bottle, and today the faucet. Neither of these should usually cause injuries, yet she managed to get hurt both times.
Who wouldn’t agree?
Ruan Jiaojiao also felt as if she was cursed with bad luck, getting injured no matter what she did. Yesterday with Yang Tao, it was the same spot where the hot water bottle managed to specifically cut her.
Today was even more so; the faucet was fine in Yang Tao’s hands, turning it on and off without issue, but when it was her turn, it broke and cut two big gashes on her hand.
"Alright, the wound is cleaned, but I don’t have a tetanus shot here. Only Fukang Hospital does, you should go there to get it," the old doctor said after treating Ruan Jiaojiao’s wound.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Jiaojiao felt annoyed, and she was about to tell Xiu Xi maybe they shouldn’t go. Could it really be so unlucky to get tetanus from a simple cut?
