Chapter 1893: Is He Doing Well?

Ye Wanting furrowed her brows, her lips more flushed than her face, and a bump was swelling at the corner of her mouth, “Be gentle, okay? Maybe I should do it myself?”

“No way, you won’t do it properly by yourself, let me do it,” her roommate said while applying the medicine, using a cotton swab to gently dab along the corner of her mouth, “Why didn’t you say anything? It’s been two days, it’s so swollen, it’s scary.”

Ye Wanting pursed her lips, and a low chuckle squeezed out from the gaps, “I only realized I had a mouth ulcer halfway through eating, but I was craving it, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to take a few more bites. Who knew it would be this serious the next day? Before I… ow…”

“Where does it hurt?” her roommate asked quickly.

Ye Wanting said, “No, I mean before, I went to the pharmacy and bought that ointment, but it didn’t really work.”

“You’re too careless. That wasn’t no effect, you were having an allergy. If Yuan Yuan and I hadn’t seen your mouth so red today and pulled you to the clinic, you would have scarred by now!”

Ye Wanting, scolded, didn’t dare to speak, feeling guilty.

She used to be good at taking care of herself and her mother, but since coming to the Capital City and living with roommates who shared similar temperaments, she didn’t involve herself in much housework during university life, becoming gradually lazy, not realizing she’d become neglectful in other areas as well.

“Alright, wait for the medicine to dry before rinsing your mouth. Be careful when rinsing tonight.”

“Mhm!”

Ye Wanting kept the ointment her roommate handed over, raising her hand to gently protect the corner of her mouth. The warmth in her palm touched her lips, slightly warm and a bit painful, so she put her hand down again.

She read a book for a while, waited until her roommates had washed up and gone to bed, then she went to the bathroom. She was cautious while rinsing her mouth, but when she spat out the last mouthful of water, she opened her mouth a bit too wide, and the wound at her mouth’s corner suddenly tore. In a panic, she raised her hand to touch it, only for her vision to black out momentarily as she hastily leaned against the edge of the sink, the strength she used to support herself briefly clearing her head.

“What happened!”

All her roommates rushed in, picking up the things knocked over on the sink, then helped Ye Wanting back to her bed. They asked about it and upon hearing the wound had split, they showed some concern and seeing she wasn’t in a great state, each went back to their own beds.

Ye Wanting lay on her back, hand over her chest, inexplicably feeling a sharp pain there.

Shouldn’t it be at the mouth corner? Could the sudden stinging pain actually cause the pain location in the body to become confused?

In the following two days, she remained uneasy, always feeling like a wad of cotton was lodged in her chest, making her feel suffocated. After pondering over it all, she finally called Nan Jiaojiao.

After some pleasantries, she intended to ask subtly if her mom and brother had returned to Rongcheng City and caused trouble for Nan Jiaojiao’s group of friends because they couldn’t find her, but Nan Jiaojiao was so clever that she saw through her thoughts by her second sentence.

“No, they haven’t returned.”

“I actually…”

“You want to ask about Brother Chi, right?”

“Huh? I…”

Ye Wanting suddenly panicked. Holding several books in her hands, she shuffled step by step toward a bench, and slowly sat down, stammering, “I just feel very unsettled. I… I have thought about Brother Chi. He came to see me before he left, saying he would be gone for a long time, and later on, I couldn’t contact him. I didn’t dare to ask, is he… is he alright?”

Nan Jiaojiao sat on the edge of her bed, having just dried her hair, when Bo Yanching brought a towel to help her dry her hair. Being so close, he heard everything.
