Chapter 1582: Chapter 1582: I Lost the Bet to Him
“When I wanted to come in, I saw you two hugging as a couple. I was afraid you’d feel shy, so I waited outside for a bit.” Rui Hui pouted and followed Qin Youxuan into the hospital room.
She walked up to Dan Hanjie and checked on his IV drip and the bandage on his foot.
“It’ll be removed soon. Once the wound has healed enough, you can start rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is going to be more painful than this, so it’s best to be mentally prepared.”
Rui Hui prepared medication for Dan Hanjie, placed it in the small medicine box beside him, and closed it securely.
After reminding Qin Youxuan, she was ready to leave.
“Do you have other things to take care of? You’ve been in such a rush to leave these past few days.” Qin Youxuan grabbed her hand and gave her a searching look.
She noticed it wasn’t only Diwu Zexuan acting strangely—Rui Hui was also odd when she was alone.
What on earth was going on between these two?
“…Not exactly busy, I just need to practice a bit in the pharmacy.” Rui Hui muttered awkwardly.
“Pharmacy? Practice?” Qin Youxuan frowned, looking at her with confusion.
“I’m practicing how to grab medicinal herbs with my bare hands,” Rui Hui sighed in a tone of grievance and indignation.
“I competed with The First Annoying Guy at grabbing herbs the other day and got absolutely destroyed. If I don’t keep practicing, I’ll definitely keep being mocked.”
“…”
Qin Youxuan paused, stunned, staring at her in disbelief.
So, the reason she’d been off lately was because she lost a herb-grabbing contest to Diwu Zexuan?
Silly Rui Hui, how could she not think it through before challenging Diwu Zexuan in medical skill?
“Xuan, you don’t know how terrifying he is. The small amounts of herbs, he didn’t even use a balance scale—just his two fingers!” Rui Hui held up her two fingers and waved them in front of Qin Youxuan dramatically.
After bottling up her frustration for days, now that she mentioned it, her face was filled with disbelief.
“Before I could even see clearly what he was doing, he finished grabbing the herbs. Tell me, is he human? He can’t be, right?” Rui Hui sought validation from Qin Youxuan.
Uh…
Qin Youxuan honestly couldn’t bring herself to crush her hopes.
Silly girl, challenging Diwu Zexuan in medical skills was already a losing game.
Why hadn’t Rui Hui realized this?
“Is this why you’ve been avoiding him over the past few days?” Qin Youxuan glanced at Dan Hanjie and then pulled Rui Hui out of the hospital room.
The two of them stopped in the hallway before Qin Youxuan spoke again.
“I’m not avoiding him. I’ve just been busy improving myself.” Rui Hui argued defensively.
After thinking for a moment, she frowned again, “But now that you mention it, I just realized—I actually haven’t seen The First Annoying Guy for a few days. I’ve been so busy I forgot.”
Rui Hui scratched her head cluelessly, suddenly recalling something as she looked at Qin Youxuan, her expression becoming oddly mystical, “I just found out The First Annoying Guy has some decency in him.”
“…What do you mean?” Qin Youxuan blinked in surprise before following up with a question.
Rui Hui leaned against the nearby wall, shoved her hands casually into her pockets, and pouted, “I lost a bet to him, and he punished me for one night, but the next day, he just let me go. Don’t you think that’s weird?”
“…”
“I thought someone as petty as him would torment me for a week straight.” Rui Hui looked baffled, patting her cheeks to process her thoughts.
“One night…” Too many dubious words, Qin Youxuan’s nerves suddenly tensed.
“What kind of bet was it?”
“I asked him to wash my clothes for a week, and he asked me to warm his bed for a week.”
