After the report came out, the doctor said there was nothing wrong with the bones, but there was swelling in the soft tissue and a slight strain in the lateral collateral ligament. He simply wrapped her foot in a bandage and prescribed a few bottles of traditional Chinese medicine spray, advising her to avoid getting up unless absolutely necessary. She should rest for about a week, and she would be fine.
Once they left the hospital, Yao Nian felt quite depressed. "Does that mean I can't even attend classes?"
"Just take a few days off," Shen Du said as he helped her into the car. "First, let’s take care of your foot."
By the time they reached the dormitory, it was nearly ten o'clock. Shen Du carried her to the entrance of the girls' dorm.
Lin Mo had already taken care of everything in advance, handing over the doctor's note to the dormitory supervisor. She yawned as she opened the door.
"Can you make it up?" Shen Du asked. "Should I have your roommate come down to help?"
"I can hop up myself; by this time, they’re probably all asleep," Yao Nian replied.
"What floor is your dorm on?"
"The sixth floor."
Shen Du looked at her as if she were joking.
Seeing him head inside, Yao Nian knocked on the supervisor's window and pointed at something, though she wasn't sure what she said.
The supervisor waved her hand dismissively, and Shen Du quickly came back to lift her again.
Yao Nian felt herself suspended in mid-air. "Huh?"
"What's your dorm number?" Shen Du asked.
Yao Nian wrapped her arms around his neck in surprise. Wasn't it said that the supervisor was strict?
Shen Du started climbing the stairs, saying, "I told her either she carries you or I do."
Yao Nian couldn't help but laugh, tightening her grip around his arm unconsciously.
They had just reached the door when it swung open before she could even get her keys out.
"You finally—" Lin Mo exclaimed as she opened the door, her eyes widening. "Shen Lawyer? How did you get up here?"
"Aren't you asleep yet?" Yao Nian said as she got down from Shen Du's back, balancing on one foot. "If I had known, I would have had you come down to help me."
Shen Du handed Lin Mo the medicine he was holding. "No fractures, but she can't put weight on it for now. I’ll need you to take care of her for these next few days."
Lin Mo supported Yao Nian as they entered. "Don't worry, Shen Lawyer; I'll handle all of Yao Nian's meals."
Shen Du smiled and nodded at Yao Nian. "Then I'll take my leave; you two get some rest."
As the dormitory door closed, Yao Nian stared at Li Rufen's empty bed, her thoughts momentarily frozen. She hasn't come back yet?
Lin Mo shrugged. The instructor said she had already been picked up by her parents.
So soon?
Her mother seems to have been in Shanghai all along; I’m not too sure about the details. I’ll ask the instructor tomorrow.
Yao Nian nodded thoughtfully. Lin Mo poked her elbow playfully, a teasing look on her face. I thought you weren’t coming tonight.
Where would I go?
Yao Nian leaned on her left leg and sat down in a chair, glaring at her. And you! How could you let him come? You even lied to me about your phone being dead!
I swear, Lin Mo said seriously, holding up four fingers. I only told him you twisted your ankle; he insisted on coming over himself.
Yao Nian sighed. I feel like I’m always bothering him.
Lin Mo looked at her enviously. Lawyer Shen cares about you so much! He rushed over from so far away just because you mentioned it. Besides being a bit older, he seems perfect—handsome, considerate, and wealthy. If it were me, I’d marry him right away.
Yao Nian frowned, conflicted for a moment. I know he cares about me, but it’s not what you think—it’s not that kind of romantic feeling. Do you understand what I mean?
She felt parched and took a big gulp from her water cup.
Are you speaking in riddles? Lin Mo tried to decipher Yao Nian's words. Could it be a father-daughter kind of relationship?
Before Yao Nian could swallow her water, she spat it out, splattering the floor everywhere.
What nonsense are you talking about!
