Chapter 3617: Master Wang’s Doting
Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Nian was still in a daze as she leaned against his firm shoulder. She had thought he wanted to clarify things and lecture her.
Now she realized he just wanted her to have something to lean on.
“You…” She was not used to relying on others.
Qiao Nian tried to move when a large hand pressed down on her head to stop her from moving. “I know you’re tired. Sleep. We’ll talk when you wake up!”
Ye Wangchuan felt the struggling head on his shoulder pause for a moment and then gradually relax.
Then, he unhurriedly continued, “There are too many people you want to protect, but no one is more important to me than you.
“If anything happens to you in your quest to find an antidote for Ji Lingfeng, I won’t let him off.”
—No one is more important to me than you!
Qiao Nian’s tense nerves were completely relaxed at this moment. The corners of her lips curled up, but she did not move. She quietly leaned on his shoulder and licked her lips, then said softly, “Actually… it hurts a little.”
She did not feel that this little pain was unbearable until now. In the past, she would endure it no matter how unbearable it was. Because no one would listen to her cry out in pain, she would not speak no matter how painful it was. There was no need for it to be meaningless.
But now, she suddenly felt that the pain was a little unbearable. At least, she suddenly wanted to say it.
For some reason, Ye Wangchuan’s anger was extinguished. He put his arm around the girl’s shoulder and softened his tone. “Sleep now.”
“Okay.” Qiao Nian seemed to give in and closed her eyes obediently.
She had thought that she would not be able to fall asleep after tonight’s tense situation. However, her endurance was far from her imagination. Her breathing pillowed on the faint smell of tobacco and peppermint, Qiao Nian gradually relaxed and her breathing became even…
Ye Wangchuan felt that the person leaning on his shoulder had fallen asleep. He was like a towering, unmoving mountain. He quietly slowed down the drip and sat back down, unwilling to wake up Qiao Nian’s sleeping form.
Someone came in halfway, but before they could say anything, they met a pair of cold eyes that shushed them.
No one was a fool. Seeing this scene, they smiled and left.
Everyone on the ferry knew not to enter the room and disturb them, so no one pushed the door open again.
Three hours later.
Qiao Nian’s infusion was over.
Ye Wangchuan looked at the empty bag and woke the sleeping girl before saying in a low voice, “I’ll take out the needle. Don’t move your hand.”
“Ah.” Qiao Nian’s eyes were half-closed, and she was still half-asleep. Her left hand was propped on the back of the chair, and her entire body looked dejected. It looked like she hadn’t even heard what he said clearly. “Yes, you do it.”
Ye Wangchuan glanced at her and noticed her half-closed eyes. Then, he looked at the IV tube on the back of her hand that had already begun to bleed. He quickly pulled out the needle and stood up to move his numb body before saying to the girl, “Don’t move. I’ll look for a cotton swab.”
He took the medical box from the old team doctor’s cabinet and found a cotton swab inside. He took one out, turned back, and pressed it on the back of Qiao Nian’s hand.
“Press it yourself.”
“Oh.”
Qiao Nian was still sleepy, but she obediently pressed the needle hole on the back of her hand with a cotton swab.
