THE YOUNG URBAN DOCTOR

Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Ambiguity and Awkwardness Again

Luo Ziling returned to Lin Lan’s room just as Lin Lan was waking up.

It couldn’t exactly be said that it was “just as”. Lin Lan’s bodily functions were recovering well, and her vigilance had greatly increased. Luo Ziling’s noise of opening the door startled her awake.

Seeing Luo Ziling’s return, Lin Lan smiled gently and then closed her eyes again.

Just waking up and then closing your eyes for a bit more rest could feel more comfortable.

Luo Ziling walked to the bedside, sat down beside Lin Lan, took her hand, and carefully took her pulse, then checked her skin color and the bottom of her eyes. Seeing that her condition had improved somewhat since he went out, he smiled and said to Lin Lan, “Your recovery is surprising me once again. After I feed you dinner, I will treat you again. After the treatment, have a good sleep and try to sleep until dawn. You should feel even better when you wake up tomorrow. If you can get up tomorrow, I’ll find someone to remove your catheter. Don’t look at me with that expression, I don’t have that skill just yet. I’ll learn it as soon as possible, but I hope not to practice on you.”

“You decide based on the situation, the earlier it’s removed, the better. It’s uncomfortable to have it in,” Lin Lan’s face turned red involuntarily. She forced herself to calm down and looked at Luo Ziling again, “I’m a bit… I want to take a shower. I feel too dirty and uncomfortable all over.”

“That wish can’t be fulfilled,” Luo Ziling shook his head and refused, but upon seeing Lin Lan’s disappointment, he asked softly, “How about I help you wipe down with hot water? Just like last time!”

“Alright!” Lin Lan didn’t refuse.

“Or, when Shanque or Phoenix come, let them help?”

“You help me wipe down,” Lin Lan shook her head.

Right now, she felt completely dependent on Luo Ziling for her survival.

Having been seen by Luo Ziling many times, one more look or touch didn’t matter much anymore.

Luo Ziling asked Lin Lan to lie down and rest while he prepared to stew some dinner for her and also to cook something for himself.

It wasn’t very hygienic to buy food from outside. Lin Lan’s immunity had drastically declined, so it was better to eat less of that.

Moreover, Luo Ziling wanted to control Lin Lan’s diet himself, to aid in her quick recovery through dietary adjustments.

Therefore, when instructing Phoenix to find a place for Lin Lan to stay, he also specifically asked her to prepare a set of cooking utensils.

As a result, the house Phoenix found had a bathroom and a kitchen with fairly complete furnishings. It looked like someone had lived there before, but they hadn’t moved out their furniture.

Luo Ziling had no worries about the safety of the house found by Dragon Rise, so he used it with peace of mind.

Seeing that it was about time, he prepared to cook some meat porridge for Lin Lan and stew some Tianshan Saussurea soup; for himself, he planned to cook a few packs of instant noodles to fill his stomach.

Many people at the school ate instant noodles. Luo Ziling had never tried them before coming to Yanjing, and the unique taste made him quickly grow fond of this fast food. Today, feeling lazy to prepare more, he decided to satisfy his hunger with instant noodles.

Anyway, he planned to go back to his dormitory later to have a midnight snack with those guys, so as not to let Cao Jianhui and the others hold a grudge because he was often not in the dormitory.

Lin Lan didn’t want to keep lying down; she had lied down too much in the past two days, feeling sore in her waist and back, and she also wanted to watch Luo Ziling bustling around. Therefore, she pleaded with Luo Ziling to help her sit up.

Luo Ziling, unable to refuse her, propped her up with two pillows behind her back.

However, while helping her sit up, he accidentally let the blanket slip, causing her to cry out in alarm.

Luo Ziling hurriedly fumbled to cover her, but in his nervousness, he accidentally touched her body, making it even more embarrassing.

Both of them blushed, but it was Lin Lan who calmed down first. She reached out to pull the blanket to prevent it from slipping down any further and then signaled Luo Ziling to go about his business.

Feeling very embarrassed, Luo Ziling quickly ran out to become busy in the kitchen.

Watching Luo Ziling preparing dinner in the kitchen for her, Lin Lan’s thoughts drifted back to the time when Luo Ziling took care of her in the small village in the Northwest. She also remembered the awkwardness and the hints of something more between them, stirring emotions within her heart. She agreed with what Fenghuang had said: this young man was indeed very good. This opinion had formed while in the Northwest and now it only grew stronger.

However, she knew there could never be anything between them, because she was a special forces soldier, and then there was Yang Qingyin.

Thinking of this filled Lin Lan with melancholy.

But Lin Lan, after all, was someone who had undergone special training. She quickly adjusted her mindset, determined to stay strong. In the coming days, her goal was to cooperate with Luo Ziling’s treatment as much as possible, to aid in her swift recovery.

She hoped she could recover her health quickly, free of any physical defects; otherwise, she was sure to become very depressed.

Her mind flashed back to the promise she had impulsively made to Luo Ziling that day.

Just thinking about those words made her feel her face burn.

How could she have been so impulsive?

How would she ever lift her head in front of Luo Ziling again?

When Luo Ziling had the dinner ready and came over with a bowl to feed her, Lin Lan was still daydreaming.

Seeing Luo Ziling approach, Lin Lan gave an awkward smile and tried her best to sit up straight.

But unexpectedly, as she tried to sit up straight, the blanket slipped down again.

With her hands still unable to move conveniently, Lin Lan couldn’t catch the blanket in time, and Luo Ziling, his hands full with the bowl of porridge, couldn’t cover her up immediately either.

As a result, the beautiful curves of Lin Lan’s upper body were exposed in front of Luo Ziling for a while until he frantically set down the bowl and pulled the blanket up for her, easing the awkwardness.

“I’m sorry,” Lin Lan said with a blush, “It wasn’t intentional.”

“Shouldn’t I be the one to say that?” Luo Ziling also blushed, “I didn’t intend to look.”

After they said that, they looked at each other and both burst into laughter.

“Anyway, you have seen it several times now; it doesn’t matter,” Lin Lan laughed it off and then, biting her lip, she asked, “My figure is not bad, right?”

Luo Ziling was shocked by Lin Lan’s question and stared at her incredulously, taking a while to respond.

Had Lin Lan injured her head as well, causing her to become foolish? Otherwise, how could she have changed like this?

Seeing Luo Ziling staring at her blankly, Lin Lan misunderstood his reaction, her face turned red again, and she dared not look at Luo Ziling, bowing her head.

Luo Ziling regained his composure, sat back down and, while preparing to feed Lin Lan, whispered a reminder, “Fenghuang brought you a lot of clean clothes. How about, after I help you wash up, you put them on, so this doesn’t happen again?”

“Okay, I’ll listen to you,” Lin Lan didn’t object.

She still felt shy, though, too embarrassed to meet Luo Ziling’s eyes.

Seeing Lin Lan’s slightly evasive eyes, Luo Ziling felt an unusual sensation.

The usually boisterous tomboy showing such a shy and demure side was indeed very special.
