Chapter 195 I curse you to never find a girlfriend in your lifetime

After returning home, Tan Xiaoxuan soon fell ill.

Tan Xiaoxuan was wrapped in a thick blanket, huddled in a corner of the sofa, her nose red and sneezing every now and then.

Clutching a tissue, she muttered, "Liu Zhidong, you cold-blooded animal! You gave me a cold, I curse you to never find a girlfriend!"

Zhu Ziqing walked over with a cup of hot tea. Hearing her complaint, she couldn't help but laugh: "Xiaoxuan, what's wrong? Who made you angry?"

Tan Xiaoxuan looked up, her eyes still a little red, and said angrily, "Who else could it be? Liu Zhidong, of course! I waited for him for so long at the amusement park entrance last night, and he didn't even show his face, making me catch a cold!"

Zhu Ziqing sat down next to her and gently patted her back: "Don't be angry, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up. You can't be careless if you catch a cold."

Tan Xiaoxuan took the teacup, took a sip, and the warm sensation made her feel a little better. But she was still indignant: "Sister Ziqing, don't you think he went too far? I must get revenge on him!"

Zhu Ziqing smiled helplessly, took out a packet of cold medicine from the medicine box, and handed it to Tan Xiaoxuan: "Take the medicine first, your health is the most important thing. You can think about how to get revenge on him after you get better."

Tan Xiaoxuan pouted, but still obediently took the medicine and swallowed it in one gulp. The bitter taste of the pill made her frown: "It's so bitter!"

Zhu Ziqing took a candy out of her pocket and handed it to her: "Here, have something sweet to balance out the bitterness."

Tan Xiaoxuan took the candy, and a smile finally appeared on her face: "Sister Ziqing, you're so kind! Once I get better, I'll definitely make Liu Zhidong pay!"

After taking her medicine, Tan Xiaoxuan seemed to feel a little better. She leaned back on the sofa, her eyes darting around, then suddenly leaned closer to Zhu Ziqing and said mysteriously, "Ziqing, let's chat! Do you want to hear some gossip about my brother?"

Zhu Ziqing raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes: "Haoyu's gossip? Is there anything else I don't know about him?"

Tan Xiaoxuan smiled smugly: "There are plenty! Which kind do you want to hear? Love gossip or embarrassing stories?"

Zhu Ziqing thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's talk about his love life. I'm quite curious about his past."

Tan Xiaoxuan immediately perked up, sat up straight, and said in a low voice, "My brother was dumped by his ex-girlfriend before! Her surname was Jian, and she was quite pretty, but I don't know what happened, they broke up."

Hearing this, Zhu Ziqing felt a slight pang in her heart. She thought of Tan Haoyu's past with Zhu Yahan and couldn't help but feel grateful that Zhu Yahan had ultimately chosen to let go; otherwise, she might not have ended up with Tan Haoyu.

Tan Xiaoxuan continued, "My brother is incredibly aloof and cold; he has absolutely no idea how to make his girlfriend happy. That Sister Jian dumped him because she couldn't stand his indifference."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ziqing couldn't help but defend Tan Haoyu: "Actually, apart from being a bit cold, Haoyu is quite good in every other way. He is serious about his work and very responsible towards people."

Tan Xiaoxuan pouted: "Sister Ziqing, you're being overly protective! But speaking of which, my brother is quite gentle with you, so it seems he really likes you."

Tan Xiaoxuan became more and more enthusiastic as she talked, one topic after another, leaving Zhu Ziqing with almost no chance to get a word in edgewise. Seeing that it was getting late, Zhu Ziqing gently interrupted her: "Xiaoxuan, you just took your medicine, you should rest first. Cover yourself with a blanket, don't catch a cold."

Tan Xiaoxuan was a little reluctant, but she obediently lay down and pulled the blanket over herself: "Sister Ziqing, you're so nice, just like my mom, so nagging."

Zhu Ziqing smiled and ruffled her hair: "Go to sleep. I'll take care of you. I hope you get better soon."

After Tan Xiaoxuan fell asleep, Zhu Ziqing sat by the bed, quietly watching her. Her thoughts drifted back to the past, recalling the events between Tan Haoyu and Zhu Yahan. Back then, Tan Haoyu was cold and aloof, seemingly keeping his distance from everyone.

Zhu Ziqing was grateful that she had finally entered his heart, and also grateful that Zhu Yahan had chosen to let go. She sighed softly, her heart filled with gratitude.

Looking at Tan Xiaoxuan's sleeping face, Zhu Ziqing's eyes were full of tenderness. Her care for Tan Xiaoxuan stemmed from both her fondness for this lively and adorable girl and her sense of responsibility as her sister-in-law.

"Xiaoxuan, get well soon," Zhu Ziqing said softly, then gently closed the door.

……

In a hospital ward in the capital, Zhu Yahan had been staying at the hospital for quite some time.

Her face was pale, her figure thin, and she looked weak and haggard.

Today is the day the bandages on her head are removed.

In the ward, two nurses walked lightly to Zhu Yahan's bedside.

They moved with extreme care, as if afraid of hurting the fragile woman before them.

Zhu Yahan straightened her back and sat upright on the hospital bed, but her eyes were like a stagnant pool, without a ripple.

"Young lady, we're starting to remove the gauze. It might be a little uncomfortable, so please bear with it," one of the nurses said softly, her voice full of concern.

Zhu Yahan nodded slightly without saying anything.

The nurses moved their hands gently, removing the gauze layer by layer.

As the bandages were removed, Zhu Yahan's face was gradually revealed. Her once delicate face was now covered with scars, a truly shocking sight.

However, Zhu Yahan's eyes remained lifeless, showing no emotional fluctuation despite her appearance.

"Young lady, the wound has already scabbed over. Don't worry, if you use good medicine, it shouldn't leave a bad scar," the nurse tried to reassure her.

Zhu Yahan listened, her lips moved, and after a long while she finally spoke: "Could you get me a mirror? I want to see myself."

Upon hearing this, the nurse looked worried and quickly advised, "Young lady, it's better not to look at it now. You'll definitely feel bad if you do. It's not too late to look at it after your wound has healed a bit."

But Zhu Yahan's attitude was firm, and her tone left no room for doubt: "Give it to me, I can afford it."

The nurse had no choice but to get a mirror.

Zhu Yahan took the mirror and saw the scarred face reflected in it. Her expression remained calm, as if the person in the mirror was not herself.

However, her hands unconsciously clenched into fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, and the veins on the back of her hands bulging slightly.

"Young lady, you can proceed with your discharge procedures now," the nurse gently reminded her.
