Chapter 721 - 722: Liking Nuannuan
Chu Zhan turned his face away, muttering softly, "I have nothing to do with her, what would I be doing if I went looking for her?"
Nianyang squinted, "Brother, do you like Nuannuan?"
Like...
Chu Zhan was taken aback at first, then reacted intensely, "How is that possible, in my eyes, she’s just a man..."
But he ended up with this ’man’ in his dreams; how could thinking about this make you, Lord Chu, feel a bit like a beast?
Nianyang looked at Chu Zhan seriously, "Brother, stop referring to Nuannuan as a man all the time. That’s really hurtful. You won’t be able to win over a girl like that, okay?"
"You, you girl, what nonsense are you talking about, who’s trying to pursue her?" Chu Zhan was flustered, his limbs were stiff, and he was at a loss.
Nianyang sighed. Her brother was stubborn, and his love life was rocky too. As his sister, she had to guide him a bit.
She patted Chu Zhan on the shoulder, gently guiding him, "Brother, do you know why Nuannuan acts like a tomboy?"
"Why?"
Nianyang then told Chu Zhan about Shi Nuan’s background. It wasn’t really a secret; a little digging would reveal it. Besides, Chu Zhan wasn’t the type to spread it around. Nianyang had a motive—she really liked Nuannuan. Since her brother liked Nuannuan, why not play the role of divine aide?
Of course, feelings are a matter between two people. She wouldn’t interfere much, at most drop a hint.
Chu Zhan didn’t expect the rough Shi Nuan to have such a background.
It showed that Shi Nuan and Nianyang were similar; they both hadn’t been loved by their parents since childhood.
Inexplicably, a slight pain emerged from a certain part of his heart.
Not long after, Chu Zhan suddenly realized it was heartache.

The next day, Chu Zhan went to work.
Nianyang, with nothing to do, planned to visit the Chinese medicine clinic for a look.
Who knew she would receive a call from outside saying someone was looking for her.
Nianyang ran out, only to see that the visitor was Shi Nuan, and she looked anxious. Had something big happened?
Seeing Nianyang, Shi Nuan breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes shining, "Thank goodness, Nianyang, it’s good you’re at home."
Nianyang looked at her curiously, "What’s wrong, Nuannuan, shouldn’t you be at school now? What are you looking for me for?"
Shi Nuan grabbed Nianyang’s hand, "Nianyang, do me a favor. Your medical skills are so good; help me save someone."
"Save someone? Who?"
Shi Nuan took a deep breath, tears welling up in her eyes, choking, "It’s my grandma. You know, elderly people suffer from all sorts of ailments. My grandma’s health has always been poor. She suddenly fell into a coma yesterday. The doctor says she’s in critical condition and might not make it through the night..."
Nianyang took out tissues to wipe Shi Nuan’s tears, "Don’t cry, don’t cry, Nuannuan, your grandma will be alright, stay strong..."
My goodness, this is the rough-and-tough Shi Nuan, the one who, when first met, was all rebellious with a roguish smile.
Who would have thought this tough girl could also shed tears? Seeing her like this broke Nianyang’s heart.
Shi Nuan calmed herself a bit and said, "My family is indifferent towards me, only my grandma has always treated me well. If it wasn’t for my grandma, I would’ve been abandoned by the Shi Family long ago. I studied medicine for my grandma. I wanted to save her, but I’m too inexperienced. I’m only a freshman; my skills aren’t proficient yet. She’s seen many Western doctors with no effect. I’m out of options and had to turn to you..."
There’s no way for Nianyang to refuse. She patted Shi Nuan on the head.
"Nuannuan, I’ll help you. I’ll do my best to save your grandma."
