Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Qin Xin couldn’t help but speak up: ”Your leg... did you use the mechanical knee brace again?”

Nalan Ye Jue looked like a child caught doing something wrong: ”Yes.”

She frowned: ”Don’t use it. That mechanical thing is very harmful to you. Didn’t it cause an allergic reaction last time?”

Last time, to attend the dance at her school, he forced himself to wear the mechanical knee brace as an auxiliary prosthetic. He rested for two days afterward, and she flew abroad.

She never knew he had to undergo surgery because of a severe allergic reaction to the brace.

Only recently, to maintain the cover for the pigeon, did she occasionally keep in touch with Lu Yi and discuss medical topics. Lu Yi accidentally let it slip while joking that the Young Master didn’t need anesthesia for the surgery, just looking at Miss Qin’s photo would do. That was how she forced out the fact that he had an allergic reaction to the brace.

She still hadn’t had the chance to confront him about it!

Nalan Ye Jue said calmly: ”The knee brace has been improved. It won’t... be too allergic.”

Qin Xin frowned even more: ”What do you mean not too allergic? Medically, it’s either allergic or not. Take it off quickly, I’ll help you. Where’s your wheelchair?”

Nalan Ye Jue’s Adam’s apple bobbed: ”Didn’t bring... the wheelchair.”

In order to come see her, to see her in the best state.

He really didn’t bring the wheelchair.

Qin Xin got anxious: ”I’ll go to Xinghe Bay to get it for you... No, you need to take off the brace first. You’d better sit back on the bed. Don’t walk anymore, do you hear me, not another step.”

Nalan Ye Jue obediently retracted his steps towards the door.

Sitting back beside her bed.

He had never been so thankful at this moment that he endured the intense pain wearing the mechanical knee brace.

Precisely because of this, he had a reason to stay.

Sure enough, pain can bring happiness.

Qin Xin turned on the bedside lamp, bent down, and carefully removed the knee brace for him.

The knee brace was indeed improved.

The part directly in contact with the skin had added protective materials.

The allergy was greatly reduced, but because of the added materials, the whole mechanical part became heavier, and it also tightened around his muscles more.

His knee to the lower leg had deep indentation marks!

It looked very distressing.

While helping him unfasten it, Qin Xin’s eyes turned red.

This man just talked to her for so long, how did she not realize he came in standing — no, he carried her in, which was even more burdensome physically.

She was really too careless.

Blaming herself, she took out the medical kit to clean the wounds left by the marks and couldn’t help softly complaining to him:

”Why did you wear this? It’s not like you were attending an important event?”

”Don’t wear this in front of me from now on, the wheelchair is just fine.”

”I’m going to burn this brace, it’s too torturous...”

Although the woman’s tone wasn’t great, and the alcohol wipes on the wounds hurt a lot, Nalan Ye Jue silently and slowly curved his lips upwards.

The little lady just said the word ”future” to him.

Her ”future” still had a place for him.

She still worried about him.

She still cared about him.

Even though when she heard him explain about Lan Qingxin, her expression was cold, and she didn’t relax her tone on the topic of divorce; but now, seeing him injured, she was more anxious than anyone else.

As long as she has him in her heart, what is a little injury on his leg?

Even if these legs were broken for her, it wouldn’t matter.

After she finished cleaning and bandaging, Nalan Ye Jue lightly pressed his lips: ”Little lady, tonight, it seems, I can only... borrow your bed for a while.”
