NOVPUBChen Nan fell into silence.
The process of concocting the scar-removal cream was tedious, but for him, making ten batches was still manageable.
Worst case, he’d just have to buy a few more stoves and make them all at the same time.
Seeing Chen Nan hesitate, Lu Anran couldn’t help but say, "Honey, if you think ten batches is too much, you can do less."
She didn’t want Chen Nan to tire himself out.
If anyone had to be tired, it should only be herself.
As soon as she said this.
A flash of anger appeared in Xu Nuo’s eyes, as if blaming Lu Anran for favoring Chen Nan.
Who would have thought, Lu Anran gave her a defiant look, as though asking if there was something wrong with favoring her own husband?
Xu Nuo shook her head helplessly.
Knowing that Lu Anran was blinded by love, betraying their friendship.
Chen Nan said, "Then let’s do as Sister Xu says. I’ll supply ten batches of the scar-removal cream every day. However, I don’t have a lot of time, so you’ll need to send someone to pick it up."
A gorgeous smile appeared on Xu Nuo’s face, "Then let’s sign a contract!" With that, she took out the contract she had prepared in advance, two copies of it.
After signing the contract, Xu Nuo happily put it away. Then hesitating for a moment, she still extended her delicate right hand, "Pleasure doing business!"
At this scene.
A look of surprise appeared in Lu Anran’s eyes.
She hadn’t expected Xu Nuo to actually reach out her hand.
Although it was basic etiquette for both parties in a cooperation, she knew Xu Nuo’s character well: she never shook hands with anyone when signing contracts.
Chen Nan extended his hand and gave hers a brief shake, "Pleasure doing business."
"Shall we go?" Xu Nuo smiled as she looked towards Lu Anran.
Although Lu Anran was reluctant, she knew that Chen Nan had to go to his class soon. She nodded reluctantly, then left the house with Chen Nan, as well as herself, and took the elevator down to the ground floor.
After getting out of the elevator, she reluctantly let go of Chen Nan’s arm. Then, on tiptoes, she kissed Chen Nan, saying with reluctance, "I’ll come to see you when I have time, you must miss me!"
Chen Nan affectionately stroked her head, "I definitely will."
"Bye!"
Lu Anran waved goodbye reluctantly, and only after watching Chen Nan leave did she get into the red Porsche sports car nearby.
"Lu Anran, when will you cure your lovesick brain?" Xu Nuo asked from the driver’s seat, frustrated as if hating that iron cannot become steel.
Lu Anran buckled her seatbelt and retorted discontentedly, "Nonsense, I don’t have a lovesick brain!"
As she spoke.
She saw Chen Nan at the entrance of the community looking back and waving.
She immediately broke into a delighted smile, blew him a kiss, and then waved at him again.
Xu Nuo’s mouth twitched, "Are you sure you don’t have a lovesick brain?"
Lu Anran responded as if it were obvious, "I don’t!"
Xu Nuo drove the Porsche out of the community, her voice cold, "Do you realize, you’ve betrayed our friendship?"
"I clearly told you before to say something nice for me, but why did you side with Chen Nan?"
Lu Anran laughed, "I just don’t want him to get too tired."
"Heh," Xu Nuo said sarcastically without smiling, "You want him to die of exhaustion on you, right?"
Lu Anran’s eyes brimmed with intense tenderness, "If he really did die of exhaustion on me, I’d be willing to be ’done to death’ by him before he dies!"
Xu Nuo: "You really are unreasonable."
Lu Anran fell silent for a moment, then said softly, "Nuonuo, I haven’t betrayed our friendship. No matter how great Chen Nan is, he’s just a passerby in my life."
"But you are different; we have known and understood each other since we were children, and no one can replace the position you hold in my heart."
"I..."
"Forget it, let’s not talk about this."
Her gaze was complex, some words remaining unspoken in the end.
------
The afternoon’s lessons were dry and tense.
The curriculum was extremely intensive.
However, Chen Nan felt as though he had the ability to remember everything he saw, no matter how difficult the question; he just needed to listen to the explanation once to engrave it in his mind.
He knew.
It had to do with what had happened to Wang Li’s body.
Because a virgin’s yin energy is far more abundant than that of a married woman.
After finishing the afternoon’s lessons, Chen Nan took a taxi to Jizhou People’s Hospital.
He wasn’t there to see a patient.
He wanted to visit Zhu Keren.
After all.
She was the first woman in his life.
Even if she was someone else’s wife, Zhu Keren held an unshakable place in his heart.
Seeing Chen Nan appear, Zhu Keren, who had a haggard face, forcefully squeezed out a smile, stood up, and said, "Why have you come?"
Chen Nan put down the fruit basket and flowers he was holding and then looked at the middle-aged man lying on the bed, who had a sallow complexion and was as thin as a rake.
He was connected to an oxygen tube and an IV drip, now deep in sleep.
Chen Nan asked softly, "How is he doing?"
"He’s had the kidney transplant, but he’s still in a critical period, and it’s uncertain whether his body will reject it," said Zhu Keren, full of worry.
Although a new kidney had been transplanted, that didn’t mean her husband would wake up.
If his body rejected the organ, even with a new kidney.
It would be of no use!
Chen Nan extended his hand to check the man’s pulse; it was weak and feeble, and the situation was very bad.
Clearly, there was a rejection between the heart and the kidney.
The situation was very bad.
After hesitating for a moment.
He took a deep breath and channeled the little True Qi he had inside him fully into the man’s body, eventually reaching his heart.
The next moment.
The monitor started beeping incessantly.
Zhu Keren, shocked, looked at the monitor and saw her husband’s heart rate had returned to that of a healthy person, which brought uncontainable joy to her eyes.
Chen Nan also let out a sigh of relief.
Although now he was pale, with a body weak and limp, his first attempt at using True Qi to save someone had worked, filling him with a strong sense of accomplishment.
"He’ll probably wake up tonight. You stay here to take care of him; I’m heading back!" Chen Nan said with a smile, standing up, but almost collapsed due to exhaustion.
Zhu Keren reacted quickly, supporting Chen Nan with a complicated look in her eyes: "How can I ever repay your kindness?"
"How can I repay you?"
She knew.
The fact that her husband had pulled through had nothing to do with his own willpower.
In the end, it was all because of Chen Nan; otherwise, the boy who had been ruddy and vigorous couldn’t have become so weak in an instant.
Chen Nan, weakly smiling, said, "If you really want to thank me, then eat well, rest well. I hope to see you in high spirits."
Zhu Keren pressed her lips together, nodded solemnly, and tears of gratitude appeared in her eyes.
"I’ll take my leave!" Chen Nan left these words behind and walked out as if nothing had happened, his steps steady as if he had regained all his strength.
Zhu Keren watched him enter the elevator, and as the elevator doors slowly closed, she couldn’t help but wave to Chen Nan, and watched until the doors shut before turning around and heading back to the ward.
And just as the elevator doors closed, Chen Nan, who had appeared calm, collapsed straight onto the floor inside the elevator...
