Chapter 385: Two Men Rivaling for Her Affection
"Hello, have you seen the two girls, the ones who helped with medical aid earlier?" Ningwan asked the doctor.
The doctor replied, "Of course, those two beauties are unforgettable once you’ve seen them."
"But I can’t find them. Do you know where they went?" Ningwan asked.
She had called them, but no one answered.
It was one thing for Shuixian not to answer, but even Xunyou didn’t pick up.
She was really worried that something might have happened to them.
"I know where they went," a young nurse raised her hand.
Ningwan looked at her.
The young nurse said, "Someone came last night, and after he arrived, that girl Xunyou ran off. She dragged Shuixian away with her, who didn’t even want to go."
"Someone came? Who?" Ningwan was curious.
Was there actually someone Xunyou was afraid of?
Could it be Xie Mingyu?
But that didn’t make sense. If Xie Mingyu was here, Xunyou wouldn’t need to run.
"Ningwan, it was me."
Suddenly, a handsome man walked over with a smile.
He was dressed in camouflage and wearing a beret, with a charmingly roguish demeanor.
As soon as he appeared, he made several young nurses blush with excitement.
"Feng Jiuzun?" Ningwan was surprised.
Feng Jiuzun motioned for people to set down the things and pointed, saying, "These are the supplies I brought as a gift because I knew you were doing good work here. See how good I am to you."
"Speak human language," Ningwan prompted.
Feng Jiuzun grinned sheepishly, "It was our little Tuantuan who insisted I come over; he’s worried about you."
"But why did they run away when you came?" Ningwan was curious.
"Who’s Xunyou?" Feng Jiuzun was puzzled.
He knew Shuixian, the one with Li Qingqing, but not Xunyou.
"You don’t know Xunyou?" Ningwan was even more curious.
Feng Jiuzun shook his head.
"Never mind, I’ll ask them when I find them. Since they ran off on their own, they should be safe," Ningwan said.
At this moment, Zhan Hanjue also walked over.
Seeing Feng Jiuzun, he immediately squinted and approached Ningwan, asking Feng Jiuzun, "What are you doing here?"
"I’m here to see my girlfriend, of course," Feng Jiuzun said, pulling Ningwan close with an arm around her shoulder.
Zhan Hanjue’s face darkened, but he quickly put his hand on Feng Jiuzun’s shoulder, applied slight pressure, and forced Feng Jiuzun to let go.
Once Feng Jiuzun released her, he pulled Ningwan back.
"Your girlfriend isn’t here; you’ve come to the wrong place."
"Ningning?" Feng Jiuzun looked at Ningwan in surprise.
Zhan Hanjue deliberately boasted, "Last night, Wanwan and I spent the night in a cave. She’s really tired today, so anything you want to discuss should wait until after she’s rested."
"Ningning, since when are you two..." Feng Jiuzun was almost fuming.
But Ningwan also spoke up, moving away from beside Zhan Hanjue and putting some distance between herself and the two of them.
Impatiently, she said, "Are you two done yet? There’s so much to do, and you’re still here competing for attention. It’s really embarrassing."
With that, Ningwan left to help treat the wounded.
Competing for attention?
Zhan Hanjue and Feng Jiuzun were speechless!
They never thought they would be described with such a term in this lifetime.
"I wasn’t competing for attention with you," Feng Jiuzun sniffed disdainfully at Zhan Hanjue.
Zhan Hanjue coldly replied, "Neither was I."
With that, both turned and walked in opposite directions.
"Doctor Ye, we’ve found Doctor Shuixian."
Ningwan was busy when a village official brought a few people over, carrying the injured Shuixian back.
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much."
Shuixian was wailing on the stretcher.
Ningwan hurried over and found her foot injured, clearly caught in an animal trap.
"Where did you run off to, to end up getting caught in an animal trap?" Ningwan mocked.
Shuixian angrily slapped the stretcher, "Ye Ningwan, do you have any conscience? I’ve been your senior sister all along, and my leg might be useless now, and you still have the nerve to make sarcastic remarks?"
"You’ve at least studied traditional Chinese medicine for so many years. While you may not have mastered the essence of it, you should at least understand the basics. How can you forget the most basic things in your hedonistic years? As for whether your leg will be useless, I think you’re already useless as a person," Ningwan rolled her eyes.
It was just a cut on the skin; it didn’t even touch bone or tendon. She was worried about being useless?
"I was just in too much pain and too scared, that’s why I slipped up," Shuixian said, finally reassured when Ningwan mentioned it wouldn’t be useless but quickly made excuses for her stupidity.
Ningwan shook her head, too lazy to argue further on the matter.
"Why are you alone? Where’s Xunyou?" Ningwan asked again.
Shuixian angrily replied, "How would I know? She dragged me along, and halfway through, just left me. If she hadn’t abandoned me, I wouldn’t have ended up in an animal trap. Did you two plan this to set me up? That’s too much. I can’t forgive you."
"Forgive me or not, do you think I care? Take her over and just patch her up; don’t use the best medicine, lest she recovers too quickly and starts wandering about again," Ningwan instructed.
The others nodded with suppressed amusement and carried Shuixian away.
Shuixian cursed and cried all the way, but no one paid her any mind.
"Why did they run? Was it because of Feng Jiuzun?"
Ningwan was even more curious about why Xunyou had run away. Thinking over it, it seemed that the only change in these past few days was Feng Jiuzun. Could it be because he came that Xunyou ran?
"Feng Jiuzun, are you sure you don’t know Xunyou?" Ningwan sought Feng Jiuzun again.
Feng Jiuzun confirmed emphatically, "I don’t know her. I’ve never even heard of that name. Are her parents time travelers or something with a name like Xunyou?"
"Don’t criticize other people’s names; yours is pretty weird too. Wait, describe the girl you like to me again. What exactly is she like?" Ningwan suddenly thought of something and quickly asked.
"Didn’t I describe her before? Why do you want another description?" Feng Jiuzun was puzzled.
"Do you want to find her or not?" Ningwan asked sternly.
Feng Jiuzun nodded vigorously, "Of course, I do."
"Then describe her to me properly."
"She..." Feng Jiuzun thought carefully about her appearance, unable to help but smile bashfully, "She has long, black, luscious hair, lips that are bright red and tender, and skin as clear as mountain snow. Her face shape is..."
"Summarize it in one sentence," Ningwan interrupted him.
Every time he used different words, anyone listening would think he was talking about a different woman.
"A very beautiful, extremely beautiful woman," Feng Jiuzun concluded in one sentence.
"But you said earlier that she’s Korean," Ningwan noted.
Feng Jiuzun nodded, "Yes, she spoke Korean. Although I didn’t understand it completely, I know a bit of Korean."
"Alright, I think I know the reason now," Ningwan smiled.
Feng Jiuzun asked excitedly, "You know where she is?"
At that moment, Zhan Hanjue came over to find Ningwan and saw her warmly chatting with Feng Jiuzun.
