Chapter 142 Overthinking (Part 1)

Chu Yao disinfected the tools she had used again, and as she looked up, she noticed a candle on the sofa cabinet that was about to burn out.

I walked over slowly and lit a new one.

As I turned around, my gaze swept across the man's profile on the sofa, and I inadvertently noticed a neat tear in the sleeve of his right upper arm.

Chu Yao stepped forward, sat down next to him, and began to examine the condition of his right arm without saying a word.

“You have a knife wound on your arm,” she said, drawing her conclusion.

The man, whose consciousness was somewhat hazy, slowly lifted his eyelids, his eyes unfocused. He glanced at the tear in his clothes on his arm and replied in a hoarse voice, "Yes, I was slashed, but I dodged in time. The cut was shallow and not serious. It should have stopped bleeding by now."

Chu Yao reached out and pulled the first-aid kit on the coffee table a little closer to her. Without consulting him, she made the decision on her own: "Even if the incision is shallow, it needs to be disinfected. Your abdominal wound is currently at high risk of infection. It can easily get infected if you're not careful. We can't be careless."

As soon as Chu Yao finished speaking, she started cutting. Now, if he moved his body even slightly, it would easily aggravate the wound on his abdomen, so Chu Yao simply took the scissors and cut off his coat and undershirt.

To facilitate subsequent disinfection, the scissors cut from Jiang Zheng's upper arm all the way to his shoulder. The torn fabric slid down with a "hissing" sound, almost exposing most of the man's right shoulder and back.

Chu Yao's gaze followed the direction of the scissors in real time, and the man's well-defined and muscular arms and broad, smooth shoulder and back lines gradually came into view.

Chu Yao was genuinely surprised by what she saw. This person usually seemed lazy and listless, and his figure was rather slender.

I really didn't expect this to be the scene after taking off my clothes. I have to say, it's somewhat... pleasing to the eye.

Due to the nature of her work and her work environment, Chu Yao has long been immune to strong, muscular physiques. The reason is simple: she's seen them too often.

So much so that now, when I occasionally see someone with thin skin and simple porridge and side dishes, I can't help but take a second look.

His skin had a cool, pale white hue, a rare color on men, but on him it not only didn't appear feminine, but instead added a unique beauty to him. Her gaze continued to move forward and downward… Chu Yao frowned slightly, unsure if she was seeing things.

A circular, star-shaped scar lay on the upper right side of Jiang Zheng's chest, starkly exposed on the man's fair skin.

A doubt arose in her mind, and Chu Yao unconsciously lowered her head and moved closer, wanting to see the details more clearly.

Just as he was about to explore the area, a large, bony hand blocked his way, and the man's signature teasing voice drifted to his ear: "Dr. Chu, where are you looking?"

Chu Yao shifted her gaze to the man's face. Her beautiful, alluring peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and her exquisitely shaped thin lips parted slightly: "I'm still a virgin, and you've taken advantage of me to see everything. What am I going to do now?"

His words, however, were as unpleasant as ever, a real waste of his rare and handsome face.

Chu Yao gritted her teeth and forced a smile: "You're overthinking it. I'm just doing a routine check to see if you have any other wounds."

She paused, her smile deepening, and added in a relaxed tone, "Besides, what's so great about a boy's physique like yours? I think your worries are really unnecessary."

Jiang Zheng was speechless: "..."

Seeing his unusually frustrated and sullen expression, Chu Yao couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

First of all, I wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Secondly, I apologize to everyone, but I will not be updating during the Chinese New Year period.

Firstly, there are many things to do when I go back to my hometown; secondly, I've been under a lot of work pressure lately and haven't been feeling well, so I want to take advantage of the holiday to relax.

I'm so sorry!
