Chapter 1120: His Finger Moved

Nan Jiaojiao was the first to notice it.

She had been keeping watch, and whenever Bo Yanching showed any signs of distress, she would call Xu Shu.

Together, they coordinated without panicking, slowly bringing Bo Yanching’s fever down.

In his stupor, Bo Yanching struggled a few times, causing his wound to reopen, so Xu Shu changed his bandages.

They were busy until dawn, when Han Chuan came in with breakfast.

Yaen Chi left after taking a couple of bites.

Xu Shu had the day off today, so he planned to go home first, take a shower, and get some sleep.

That left only Nan Jiaojiao there.

She ate slowly, and after finishing, she cleaned up the trash and took it out.

Returning, she sat by the bedside for a while.

Bo Yanching was sleeping soundly.

After checking his forehead for the third time and feeling reassured, she lay on the companion bed, turned on her phone, and saw numerous missed calls and messages.

Nan Jiaojiao scrolled through them but didn’t see any from Old Lady Bo.

Han Chuan was keeping it well hidden.

The door was knocked, and Chu Yao came in wearing a big hat, looking around with her eyes but not seeing Nan Jiaojiao.

Just as she was walking in, the curtain next to the companion bed was drawn open.

Chu Yao stared at her, then looked over at Bo Yanching.

“Babe, how can you be so carefree?

Your man is lying there between life and death, and yet you have the heart to play games?”

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes roved from her hair to her feet, “Are you here at the hospital as a patient?”

“Why else would I be here if not to visit?”

“Then who are the high heels for?”

Chu Yao looked down at her own feet, kicked off her high heels, and climbed barefoot onto the companion bed.

Nan Jiaojiao ignored her.

She insisted on kicking her, and when Nan Jiaojiao looked over, she gestured towards Bo Yanching, “He’s really okay?”

“He’s fine.

His fever’s down.

He’ll wake up once he’s slept well.”

“Lucky guy.”

Nan Jiaojiao was not pleased with her, “If you don’t know how to talk, then don’t.

Did you come here empty-handed?”

“I bought a fruit basket.

I was too lazy to carry it, so the fruit shop will deliver it later.

I don’t know what Bo Yanching likes to eat, so I bought everything you like.”

Nan Jiaojiao squinted, rare to give her a pleasant expression.

“Did you sleep last night?”

“I did, slept a few times.”

Chu Yao asked, “Did anyone come to relieve you?”

“Yes, Yaen Chi and Xu Shu were here.

Mo Tingshen just called, he’d be here later too.”

Mentioning someone’s name made Chu Yao slightly uncomfortable.

She quickly hid the expression by looking up.

“Alright, I came to take a look, I’m leaving.”

Nan Jiaojiao glared, “Isn’t it too casual to visit like this?”

“What relationship do I have with Bo Yanching,” Chu Yao said matter-of-factly, “I’m mainly here to see you.

As long as you’re fine, as long as he’s alive, whether he makes it or not doesn’t matter much, but you’d be upset.”

Nan Jiaojiao got tangled up in her words.

What a mess.

It sounded like she cared, but when you unpack her words, none of it sounded nice.

Nan Jiaojiao looked around, even grabbed a pillow but put it back, then picked up a packet of tissues from the bedside table and tossed it at Chu Yao.

“Go, go, go, just leave already.”

Chu Yao dodged, pouted, “You little girl, don’t appreciate kindness.

I’m a big celebrity, people think of me as impressive!”

Nan Jiaojiao frowned and glared at her.

Chu Yao’s celebrity aura immediately collapsed as she obediently made a ‘begging’ gesture, “I’m really going, call me if you need anything, don’t hold out stubbornly.”

Nan Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, “Thanks.”

Chu Yao turned back instantly, eyes shining.

“Your fruits.”

“Bang!”

Chu Yao slammed the door shut.

The force was a bit strong, Nan Jiaojiao’s phone slipped from her hand in fright, she quickly checked on Bo Yanching.

Luckily, he wasn’t startled.

Nan Jiaojiao leaned against the bed, unwilling to leave, but fearing she’d crowd him, she brought over a chair, moved it several times to get closer, still feeling it wasn’t enough, she simply sat sideways and slowly nudged the chair to the edge of the bed until it pressed against it.

Suddenly, she noticed Bo Yanching’s finger twitch.
