The Veterinarians (1v1) (H) - 7
Chapter 7 - Don’t be afraid.
Her arm was so stiff that it didn't feel like it was hers.
Bai Li’s whole brain was like a pot of boiling water, swirling and bubbling.
The man's wrist was strong,
grasping her forearm and moving forward. She heard him talking to people, and
his voice was low and pleasant.
While he was registering, Bai Li
stood beside him, her head always hanging, shoulders hunched, not daring to
raise her head or look around.
Shen An took the registration
form, stared at it for a while, then reached out to pull her. When he pulled
her, he touched her soft hand. He lowered his eyes and saw that her hand was
very small and fits perfectly with his hand. It was thin with white
fingers.
So soft to the touch
"Sorry." He let go,
moved up a few centimeters, and clasped her wrist through the sweater instead.
Bai Li was so frightened that her
heart was beating wildly, and the sound of her heartbeat was even deafening.
She tried her best to calm down, but her voice was very nervous, "...No,
it's okay."
Shen An felt her pulse beating
very fast under his palm, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
He pulled her towards the elevator. There were already four or five people
standing inside. Seeing him coming, they moved and gave way.
He pulled Bai Li in and pressed
the floor button.
On the third floor, someone was
about to get out. Bai Li was pushed by the person behind her, and her whole body
tensed up. She hunched her shoulders and was about to lean against the metal
door of the elevator when someone hugged her shoulders.
Shen An held her in front of him,
let her go, and stood behind her.
She lowered her head nervously,
her whole body seemed to have been thrown into a stove, and she was covered in
sweat.
When they reached the fourth
floor, Shen An didn't say anything, he just grabbed her wrist and pulled her
out.
The long corridor was filled with
patients and accompanying family members. Nurses in white clothes were busy
walking in the hallways. There were only a few people sitting in the waiting
area of the neurology clinic. Shen An had just handed the registration form
to the nurse and within a few minutes, his number was called.
He pulled Bai Li toward the
doctor’s office. The doctor was a middle-aged man in his fifties. His hair was
balding, with only a few hairs hanging stubbornly on his scalp.
He asked about the situation and
asked Bai Li to take off her hat and show him the wound.
While Bai Li was restless, Shen
An had already leaned over. He reached out and took her hat off, brushing the
hair from her forehead with his warm palm, and pressed one hand in front of her
eyebrow, blocking all her sight.
Her heart beat faster again, and
her teeth clenched unconsciously.
She has long black hair, tied
into a bun at the back of her head. At this moment, her pink ears and white
neck were revealed.
The left side of her forehead has
swollen into a big bump, which is particularly shocking when set off by the
white and tender skin on the side.
"It's quite swollen."
The expert looked at it with glasses on and asked Bai Li, "Are you dizzy?
Do you feel nauseous?"
Bai Li shook her head slightly.
The doctor sat in front of the
computer and started typing, "If you’re really worried, you can just do a CT scan. There should be no problem."
Bai Li shrank her head and was
about to reach out to put on her hat. Someone had already taken a step ahead
and put her hat on for her. Her hands stopped in mid-air and her heart started
beating wildly again.
Shen An pulled her to the waiting
area and sat down. He patted the brim of her hat with one hand and said,
"Wait here."
His movements were very gentle,
but Bai Li was still nervous and flustered by his movements. Through her
sunglasses, her eyes dodge a few times. When Shen An walked out of sight, she
couldn't help but look up at his back.
He was very tall, wearing a white
shirt and slacks, with a corner of his sleeves rolled up, revealing a small
tattoo. After passing several family members, he seemed a little worried, and
he suddenly turned back and looked in Bai Li's direction.
Bai Li was startled. She quickly
looked away and retracted her entire head into her arms.
When Shen An came back after
paying the fee, she was still in the same position. The corners of his lips
twitched almost imperceptibly. He reached out and grabbed her wrist, and pulled
her up, "Let's go."
The wrists under the sweatshirt
were so thin that they seemed to have only have bones left.
Shen An was worried that he would
accidentally crush her if he he put too much force.
Before getting the CT scan, Bai Li
stood behind Shen An, with other family members and patients beside her.
Someone looked at her, and she turned slightly sideways, facing the wall.
The nurse opened the door and
called her name.
Bai Li’s whole body trembled, and
just as she was about to go in, someone grabbed her wrist.
She raised her head uneasily and
saw the man's straight nose very close to her face. His eyebrows were very
dark, his bones were distinct, and his voice was magnetic, which sounded
particularly pleasant to her ears.
"Don't be afraid."
"I'll wait for you at the
door."
