"You shouldn't leave the hospital. Don't you dare walk around again."
When he heard Gu Ruochu's reproach, Huo Nanchen could only smile softly and hold her hand. "If you don't want me to walk around, why don't you stay in the hospital and watch me all day?"
"Hmph!"
Gu Ruochu snorted arrogantly and held his hand tightly.
When she saw him hiss, she became nervous. "Are you okay? Does it hurt?"
"Yes, it hurts." Huo Nanchen furrowed his brows. "The wound seems to be torn again. It hurts all the time."
"..."
Gu Ruochu could not believe it. If Huo Nanchen was in pain, why had he left the hospital?
She pinched his nose bridge and laughed in anger. "Who told you to run around like that? That's why it hurts."
"My wife doesn't even try to comfort me when I'm in so much pain." Huo Nanchen pinched Gu Ruochu's hand. There was a hint of grievance in his deep and cold voice. He wrapped one hand around her waist and rubbed it against her body. "Ruochu, it really hurts."
'Is he acting coquettishly with me?'
The female doctor in the room remained indifferent to the couple's interaction. Had she not trained herself to maintain a calm face, she would have given the couple a piece of her mind.
"Are you a child? Why are you acting like one?" Gu Ruochu wanted to scold him again, but she hesitated under his deep gaze. "What should I do to make the pain go away?"
"You should kiss me. Just give me a few kisses, and I will feel much better."
Gu Ruochu was speechless.
Even with the female doctor in the room, Huo Nanchen was acting licentiously.
"You're like a child. Why are you acting so childish?"
Huo Nanchen's voice did not change much as he continued to look at her. "It hurts so much. I don't want to endure it."
"..."
The doctor finally managed to treat Huo Nanchen's wound. Just as she was about to apply the medicine, Huo Nanchen stopped her. "Let my wife apply the medicine. You can leave."
"All right." The female doctor immediately got up and spoke to the slightly embarrassed Gu Ruochu in a serious tone. "Mrs. Huo, call us over after you've finished administering the medicine to Mrs. Huo."
"All right."
Gu Ruochu began to carefully treat the wound on his back, afraid that she would open it up again. "Bear with me. It'll be over soon."
"Okay."
Huo Nanchen responded quickly. He was pain, especially since he used a lot of energy while beating up Ning Zongxuan, which had made his wound to split open.
"Honey, I want to be discharged from the hospital," Huo Nanchen said calmly. "It's too uncomfortable here. You should ask Uncle Wang to come and pick us up today?"
"You're in no condition to leave the hospital." Gu Ruochu's tone was a little fierce, but her movements were much lighter. "You have to stay here until your wounds heal."
Huo Nanchen did not give up and he replied, "There's disinfectant in the hospital. I don't like it. Anyway, I'll come to the hospital during the day and observe a strict bed rest routine at home. The effect will be similar to staying in the hospital."
At last, Huo Nanchen won over Gu Ruochu.
"I'll consult the doctor later. If the doctor allows you to go home and rest, I'll call Uncle Wang to pick us up."
"Okay."
Huo Nanchen did not know why, but he was feeling a little sleepy. Gu Ruochu called the doctor after she was done applying the medicine.
She tidied up Huo Nanchen's clothes and tucked him into the bed.
When Gu Ruochu asked him to take a nap, Huo Nanchen refused her request. Unable to persuade him, she lay down beside him and held his hand tightly.
Gu Ruochu slowly closed her eyes after she rested her head on Huo Nanchen's chest.
For some reason, she felt at peace despite all the trouble she had experienced over the past few days.
However, Huo Nanchen could not fall asleep. He reached out and pulled Gu Ruochu into his arms and kissed her hair gently. No matter how hard he tried, he could not get enough of her sleeping appearance.
