Nan Yan pushed the door open and stepped into the courtyard, where she heard Shen Junqing’s delighted exclamation.
“Yanyan, you’re here!”
“Third Brother.” Nan Yan nodded at him and then glanced at Bai Chen, who had his back to the door, looking puzzled.
Why was Bai Chen’s wheelchair in such a strange position today?
Bai Chen initially thought Shen Junqing was just saying Nan Yan was there to trick him into turning around. It wasn’t until he heard Nan Yan’s voice that he believed she was truly there.
Quickly, he tried to turn his wheelchair to see her. However, due to the exertion from earlier, his arms were even more sore than usual, and he couldn’t muster the strength to move the wheelchair an inch.
The effort drained him further, exacerbating the tightness in his chest. His face flushed red, and he began to pant heavily as his breathing became labored.
Sensing Bai Chen’s discomfort, Nan Yan hurried over. Seeing his condition, she immediately began pressing acupoints on his chest.
“Relax and take deep breaths,” she instructed.
Following Nan Yan’s guidance, Bai Chen gradually relaxed, and his breathing gradually steadied. With her acupressure and comforting presence, the tightness in his chest quickly eased.
In less than three minutes, Bai Chen was feeling much better.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Chen grabbed Nan Yan’s wrist and hoarsely said,
“Little Yanyan, I’m fine now.”
Shen Junqing had been watching them the whole time. Seeing Bai Chen’s improvement, the tension in his heart eased, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Nan Yan withdrew her hand and then pushed Bai Chen’s wheelchair back to Shen Junqing’s side. She then looked at Bai Chen, who seemed reluctant to engage with Shen Junqing, and asked thoughtfully, “Third Brother, Bai Chen, are you two having a disagreement?”
Both of them answered simultaneously, denying Nan Yan’s observation.
“Then why were you both facing away from each other when I came in?” Nan
Yan’s question left them both at a loss for how to explain their earlier behavior.
Bai Chen gave Shen Junqing an irritated glance and spoke hoarsely, “He was being annoying, and I couldn’t be bothered with him.”
Shen Junqing protested indignantly, “Now that we’re both sick and unable to do anything else, can’t I say a few more words? We’re supposed to be recuperating together for company, so it’s not fair that you won’t let me speak. What’s the point of having someone around if they won’t even talk? Might as well be alone.”
Shen Junqing argued his case with vigor, deliberately portraying himself as innocent in front of Nan Yan.
Bai Chen couldn’t help but sigh and rub his temples. He couldn’t be bothered to argue with this shameless guy.
“Nan Yan, perfect timing that you’re here. Do me a favor and get him to quiet down!” Bai Chen exclaimed.
“What the heck, Bai Chen! How could you treat me like this?” Shen Junqing suddenly went into full drama mode. “We’ve been through thick and thin together, facing life and death! You’re being too much!”
Bai Chen’s temple vein throbbed uncontrollably. Him being too much? This jerk had the audacity to accuse him of being too much in front of Nan Yan!
Suppressing his anger, Bai Chen didn’t lash out again. Getting angry before had aggravated his injuries, and he couldn’t risk worsening them..
