Chen Chen’s expression was indifferent, but Hu Wan was so excited that he could not reject her. He thought about it and nodded gently.

Seeing that he did not deny it, Hu Wan was even happier. “I knew you would come and see me. Am I too haggard today? Wait, I’ll freshen up a little.”

Hu Wan suddenly remembered that she was disheveled. She quickly got up and prepared to go to the ward’s bathroom to tidy up. However, she was not feeling well and could not stand properly. She staggered and almost fell.

Chen Chen quickly went forward to support her and rebuked, “What are you doing? If you’re not feeling well, rest well. Don’t move around.”

Chen Chen’s voice was still filled with pity.

When he approached Hu Wan, he smelled the strong smell of medicine on her. It was very pungent. This kind of patient’s unique smell was probably difficult to hide.

Chen Chen subconsciously asked, “Did you just take medicine?”

Hu Wan nodded and said, “My condition has worsened again recently, and the dosage is a little high. Does it smell bad?”

Hu Wan looked a little apologetic.

Her apology immediately turned to embarrassment. “I don’t look good today. Let me touch up my makeup.”

With that, she took out a small mirror and a compact powder from beside her pillow and splashed it on her face. Then, she took out the lipstick and applied it slightly. Soon, she looked much better.

However, she could not hide her eyes. They were still filled with illness and worry.

Seeing this scene, Chen Chen’s heart could not help but soften.

After some thought, Chen Chen nodded and said, “Pretty good. You look much better.”

Hu Wan felt like a huge rock had been lifted from her heart. She finally smiled and nodded. “That’s good.”

Chen Chen could not help but feel conflicted. He had originally wanted to take the opportunity to probe Hu Wan and see if he could find a flaw in pretending to be sick. However, from the looks of it, Hu Wan did not seem to be pretending to be sick at all. Could it be that this was not happening at all? Was someone deliberately misleading him?

But that’s not right! Chen Chen immediately thought of some things he had analyzed previously.

It seemed like there were many people who wanted to scheme against him. There were also many people acting in front of him. He could not let his guard down easily.

After some thought, he said, “I came to see you some time ago. The hospital said you were missing. What happened?”

Hu Wan’s eyes suddenly widened, but she immediately calmed down and smiled. “This is my fault. I was too bored staying in the hospital. The hospital specially instructed me not to go out. I really had no choice. I begged Doctor Shao to secretly bring me out to relax…”

“Is that so? Does it take so long to take a breather? It’s been a few days, right?” Chen Chen suddenly asked.

Hu Wan smiled and did not speak.

Chen Chen continued to ask, “You said you went to take a breather. Where did you go?”

Hu Wan’s heart was a mess, but her expression was still very calm. “I didn’t go anywhere. I just went to the city I liked.”

“With Shao Feng? Then the two of you are quite good together!” Chen Chen smiled and said.

Hu Wan denied it repeatedly. “No, no. I just asked him to bring me out. I went out to take a breather myself. He didn’t follow…”

“Is that so? Isn’t he afraid that you’ll fall sick halfway?” Chen Chen’s expression was calm as he threw out another question casually.

Hu Wan’s mind raced as she quickly said, “He… He prescribed medicine for me when he left. As long as I take it on time, I’ll be fine. Besides, it’s only for a few days.”

Chen Chen smiled and nodded, pretending to believe Hu Wan’s words. He continued, “Where did you go?”

Hu Wan did not expect Chen Chen to ask about these details and quickly said, “I didn’t go anywhere fun. It’s just that I really wanted to go in the past. Um… Wu City. I like to see the grassland, so I went to take a look.”

“Oh, then what’s Wu City like? You make me look forward to it too. Can you tell me about it? I want to go when I’m free,” Chen Chen asked again.

Hu Wan was even more flustered. Ever since she pretended to be sick, she had not dared to go far. She really did not know what Wu City was like.

However, the grassland was just like that. Hu Wan made things up. “It’s very beautiful. The weather is clear, and there are cows and sheep everywhere. There’s also a river. It’s really refreshing. Go take a look someday. Let’s go together!”
