Doctor Liu looked at me with a speechless expression upon seeing my injury. He frowned at the wound on my foot and said, "How did this happen? It's going to leave a scar!"
"I fell down the stairs. Please take care of it quickly; I don't know if I hurt any bones," Shen Yulin replied.
I watched him standing diagonally across from me. "Shen Yulin, do you want to sit down over there for a rest?" I pointed to a small stool by the bed.
He glanced at me but remained silent.
Doctor Liu turned around and took out the supplies needed for disinfection and bandaging, skillfully laying my leg flat. "You come over and help hold her still," he said, nodding towards Shen Yulin.
Hearing this, my heart sank. "Doctor Liu, will it hurt a lot?"
"With such a long wound, it's definitely going to hurt, especially during disinfection. Just bear with it," Doctor Liu said while continuing his work without pause, deftly using tweezers to hold a sponge in one hand and iodine in the other.
I was most afraid of pain, so I tightly gripped the white bedsheet, turning my head away in fear of looking. My trembling eyelashes were damp with tears, and I bit down hard on my lower lip, which was pale yet tinged with a hint of color. My pitiful appearance made one want to pull me into their arms.
Shen Yulin walked over to my side. "Doctor Liu, could you be a bit gentler?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the iodine touched the wound, and I let out a soft cry, instinctively searching for something to hold onto.
Shen Yulin furrowed his brow as a slight pain shot through his arm. I clutched his hand tightly, my nails digging slightly into his skin. From his perspective, it must have looked like I was leaning into him for support.
"Don't be afraid," he said in a low voice, trying to comfort me, and it seemed to have some effect.
"Alright, remember to be careful when showering these next few days; don't let anything touch it. Come back in a couple of days for a dressing change," Doctor Liu said while tidying up his things and muttering, "Fortunately, you didn't injure any bones; otherwise, it would take two or three months to heal."
I unexpectedly responded obediently, "Thank you, Doctor Liu."
Shen Yulin's gaze lingered on my wound; against the pale white of the bandage, it appeared particularly glaring. He looked at Doctor Liu and asked, "Does imported scar cream work?"
Doctor Liu smiled and replied, "If you have some, give it to her; the sooner she uses it, the sooner she'll know." After finishing up, he left the infirmary.
Only Shen Yulin and I remained in the infirmary. He sat down on the small stool and asked while staring at my wound, "Does it still hurt?"
I gently shook my leg. "The worst pain has passed; now it doesn't feel too bad."
"I'll take care of picking you up and dropping you off from school these next few days," Shen Yulin said. I shook my head in response: "No need; I can manage by myself."
Shen Yulin disagreed with me; he pressed his lips together and looked at me with an expression that suggested he wasn't pleased.
That day after school, I couldn't escape being pulled into a taxi by Shen Yulin. When we got out of the car, he seemed preoccupied and didn't say much.
The next morning, as soon as I stepped out of my house, I saw him leaning against my door. He carried me down the stairs on his back, and I noticed a brand new bicycle waiting for us—one with a back seat that had a soft cushion tied to it.
"I'll ride this bike all week to take you to school," Shen Yulin said as he slowly placed me on the back seat of the bicycle.
At fifteen years old, sitting on a boy's bicycle for the first time stirred up emotions within me that were hard to explain regarding our relationship.
