Chapter 1024: It’s No Big Deal

The nurse had been working since morning so she was a little annoyed and restless. “We are just following our protocol. Why are you registering if you don’t have money?”

“You—” Wen Shan had not even finished her sentenced before a wallet was dropped in front of her suddenly. She quickly looked up and exclaimed in surprise, “Papa Nalan!”

Nalan Chunbo gestured for her to complete the registration first. He handed her the wallet and walked away. He sat down at the common resting area and observed Wen Shan as she completed the registration swiftly and went to her classmates afterward.

The young lady had a bad temper too. How had he not realized it earlier?

Wen Shan rushed back to the resting area after she had handed the registration form to her classmate and excused herself.

She saw Nalan Chunbo still seated in the same position. Her heart was beating hard, but she wasn’t sure if it was because she had been running or if it was her natural response when meeting Nalan Chunbo.

Wen Shan approached Nalan Chunbo and returned his wallet. “Thank you,” she said sincerely.

Nalan Chunbo took his wallet and raised his head to look at Wen Shan. “This is Gu Enterprise’s hospital, you can just mention your brother’s name. I believe the nurse would not dare give you attitude like just now.”

Wen Shan put her hands behind her back and smiled at Nalan Chunbo with curious eyes. “What is Papa Nalan doing here?” She asked.

“Personal matters,” responded Nalan Chunbo and stood up.

“Hey!” Wen Shan rushed to follow Nalan Chunbo when she saw him leaving. “Let me treat you to a meal as a token of my appreciation. You did me a huge favor just now.”

“It’s no big deal. Don’t mention it,” replied Nalan Chunbo. He did not intend to stop at all.

Wen Shan slowed down her and eventually stopped. She bit her lip slightly while staring at Nalan Chunbo’s receding figure. He was still the same, acting cold and indifferent.

On a deserted island, Gu Juexi had just made a fire using stones. He dried his clothes by the fire and changed Ye Yuwei’s wet clothes into his dried ones. Then he continued helping Ye Yuwei to dry her own clothes.

Although it was summer now, he was worried about Ye Yuwei’s body being able to withstand the high humidity.

Ye Yuwei was awakened by a delicious smell. She slowly opened her eyes and noticed she was wearing Gu Juexi’s long-sleeved shirt. However, she was not wearing any undergarments!

Ye Yuwei was shocked and tightened her grip on the clothes, but suddenly thought of something and loosened her grip.

Gu Juexi noticed Ye Yuwei’s every movement. He was roasting a wild pheasant when he called out, “Is there a part of your body that I haven’t seen or touched before? There is no need to be shy.”

Ye Yuwei did not respond to Gu Juexi’s comment as she was exhausted and hungry. She grabbed the underwear that was hanging on a tree branch before it was blown away by the wind. She turned around to block Gu Juexi’s view and wore it swiftly. She felt insecure if she didn’t wear anything underneath.

Gu Juexi was shirtless since Ye Yuwei was wearing his shirt.

Ye Yuwei turned and looked at Gu Juexi after she was done. “Where are we now?” She asked hoarsely.

Her throat was still sore from the seawater.

Gu Juexi glanced at her before observing their surroundings. “I don’t know. I checked the area, and I think there’s nobody staying within a ten-mile radius but there should be someone on the other side of this island. I saw smoke just now.”

Ye Yuwei’s focus moved to his hand which was holding the roasted wild pheasant. She rushed to Gu Juexi’s side and held his right arm which was hanging limply at his side. “Gu Juexi, your arm…” Ye Yuwei began anxiously.

“Don’t worry. It will be fine after two days,” assured Gu Juexi. He leaned his forehead against hers and said, “The pheasant will be ready to eat soon.”

Ye Yuwei sat down dejectedly beside Gu Juexi and muttered, “I should not go back.”
