Chapter 18: Injury

Shen Yuchu never wanted to get entangled with Lin Xuan again.

All she wanted to do was run!

Unfortunately, he called out to her, causing her to lose her balance. She was wearing twenty-centimeter high heels.

Her foot landed on a tricycle. The woman selling ginger cakes didn’t manage to steady her.

Shen Yuchu’s foot twisted…

A sharp crack.

Even in the noisy air, the sound was painful.

“Miss!”

Seeing this, Lin Xuan quickly rushed over, using a nearby stone by the camp to propel himself forward.

He was far more agile than Shen Yuchu. After he reached her,

the ginger cake vendor was terrified.

She hurriedly said to Lin Xuan, “Young man… soldier, I didn’t touch her! This young lady asked me to push the tricycle closer, she wanted to get off…”

Shen Yuchu clutched her foot, the pain rendering her speechless.

Lin Xuan didn’t bother to listen to the woman’s explanation. He directly scooped up Shen Yuchu. “Let’s go to the medical unit!”

Shen Yuchu was sweating from the pain; her forehead and back were drenched. Her foot ached terribly.

Lin Xuan carried her and saw her high heels. “Why are you wearing such high, thin shoes?”

He carried her, scolding her as he ran towards the medical unit.

Once they arrived, Lin Xuan immediately produced his military ID. “Quickly, check her foot!”

The nurse at the reception desk glanced at Lin Xuan and the person he was carrying, then lowered her head without speaking.

Doctor Zhang examined Shen Yuchu. As the doctor pressed on her ankle, she cried out in pain.

“We need to take an X-ray. It looks like a serious injury!”

“Good!” Lin Xuan carried her to get an X-ray and further examination.

Actually, the nurses had already pushed a chair over, intending to help Shen Yuchu sit down.

However, Lin Xuan didn’t need it; he insisted on carrying her the whole time.

This action attracted the attention of many people in the medical unit.

In particular, some nurses who didn’t like Li Chunqiu whispered, “Wow, this is the person Captain Lin cares about. I’ve never seen Captain Lin show such concern for any female comrade before!”

“Exactly! Look at how nervous Captain Lin is; it’s clear they have a special relationship!”

Li Chunqiu was wearing a mask, but her displeasure was evident beneath it.

The X-ray showed Shen Yuchu had synovitis in her ankle joint and a ligament sprain.

Doctor Zhang looked at Shen Yuchu’s shoes. “Young lady, I suggest you stop wearing these shoes. Such high and thin heels; twisting your ankle like this is really unbearable!”

Lin Xuan anxiously held her hand. “I told you not to wear them, to wear flats!”

Shen Yuchu didn’t respond.

Lin Xuan said to someone nearby, “Xiao Wang, get her a pair of flats!”

“Yes, sir.” Then, he looked at Lin Xuan, “Captain Lin, may I ask… what size does this young lady wear?”

He couldn’t possibly get a size 44?! Xiao Wang only thought about it for a moment; he dared not say it out loud!

Lin Xuan picked up Shen Yuchu’s discarded high heels, glanced at the size, and said, “This size!”

“Yes, sir!”

Shen Yuchu remained silent throughout.

Lin Xuan looked at her and, ignoring the stares of others, forcefully draped his coat over her.
