With everything that had happened today, Zhao Shan was understandably exhausted. As a result, she repeatedly nodded and agreed, “Good!”

Xia Zhi was about to go over when she noticed Chu Nan being wheeled in by Chen Feng.

When Xia Zhi saw this, she said, “I was just about to go find you.”

Chu Nan gave a slight affirmative nod. His gaze was drawn to Xia Zhi as soon as he entered. Xia Zhi’s hair was pulled up into a high ponytail, and she was dressed casually. It was the same sluggish vibe he’d gotten from her two years prior.

When Chen Feng saw Chu Nan smile, he knew trouble had come. Could his Fifth Master have fallen in love? It seemed even more likely when he considered his willingness to be a tool and even to protect Xia Zhi.

While Chen Feng let his mind wander, Xia Zhi was already taking a close look at Chu Nan. After a moment of thoughtful probing with her finger, she said firmly, “Your leg has been injured for two years, right?”

“Yes.”

Xia Zhi bent down slightly and pressed on Chu Nan’s kneecap.

They were so close together that Chu Nan could smell the sweet fragrance of Xia Zhi’s body. Her black hair fell forward as she leaned forward, making her already fair face look even lighter.

Chu Nan had long lost feeling in that leg, but as Xia Zhi applied pressure, he could feel a slight itch. His pulse raced.

After the checkup, Xia Zhi smiled and said, “Your leg will be treated in time. At the crucial point in time, you were attended to by an expert. He managed to save your leg, but the follow-up treatment wasn’t very good. Even so, it’s not too late.”

When Xia Zhi smiled, Chu Nan also smiled and agreed.

When Xia Zhi saw Chu Nan smile, she was taken aback, but she quickly recovered.

Xia Zhi pulled out a notebook and started writing. She finished her note and handed it to Chu Nan, saying, “I’ll give you a prescription first. Get someone to dissolve it in a solution and wash the area. It’s effective for your injury. Oh, right, you’ve been in the bed for quite a long time, so it’ll take some time for you to heal. It will be a long and challenging path.”

“I understand.” Chu Nan glanced at the medicinal herbs on the paper and handed them to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng carefully took it and quickly agreed, “I’ll get it done as soon as possible!”

Chu Nan nodded lightly and said to Xia Zhi, “The prescription is heavy with medical jargon. I’m quite lost. Why don’t we exchange contact numbers? If I don’t understand anything, I’ll consult you.”

“Alright.” Xia Zhi agreed without hesitation. Actually, even if Chu Nan had not asked her, she would have given him her number anyway for follow-up treatment.

When Chen Feng heard Chu Nan’s words, the corners of his mouth twitched. He did not expect the Fifth Master to lie to Xia Zhi and feign ignorance to get her number.

After exchanging numbers, Chu Nan looked up at Xia Zhixun and asked, “Don’t you recognize me?”

Xia Zhi was stunned. She hesitated for a moment before asking, “Have we met before?”

A flash of inspiration struck her shortly after she asked. She cracked a wry grin and said, “I am most definitely not your old friend, because I’m sure I’ve never seen you before.”

There was a long pause followed by a quiet “Yes” from Chu Nan.

Coincidentally, Zhao Shan emerged from the changing room, and Xia Zhi waved to Chu Nan. ” It’s getting late, we’ll be leaving first.””

Chu Nan waited until Xia Zhi’s figure disappeared before speaking to Chen Feng, “Let’s go.”

Chen Feng silently pushed Chu Nan, feeling a little conflicted.

“Just speak your mind.”

Chen Feng was not surprised that Chu Nan had guessed his thoughts. After all, he had always been able to see through people’s hearts. After hesitating for a moment, he said, “Fifth Master, I don’t want to doubt Miss Xia, but she’s too young. We’ve scoured the earth for the treatment for your leg, but not a single expert even dared make the claim. Could she really cure you? More importantly, you seem to like Miss Xia…”

Even though Chen Feng did not finish his sentence, Chu Nan could guess what he wanted to say, so he said, “Are you afraid that I’ll be blinded by love?”

“Yes…”

Chu Nan was in a pleasant mood and explained patiently, “It was her who saved me two years ago.”

Chen Feng was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came back to his senses and asked, “But didn’t Miss Xia deny knowing you?”

Chu Nan sighed. “I don’t make such mistakes. There is more to this than meets the eye. Look into it.”
