Chapter 196 Your IV needle is thicker than the needle my mom uses to sew shoe soles!
"They ran away? Are they searching for someone?" Jiang Chengcheng frowned upon hearing this, worried that the other party might launch a surprise attack. Now that Sirius was injured, it would be easy for someone to take advantage of the situation.
"I only saw the general outline; it won't be that easy to find him." Sirius shook his head, indicating that finding this person wouldn't be easy.
"Forget about that for now. Be careful of your surroundings these next few days, and make sure your bodyguard stays with you at all times." Jiang Chengcheng thought that worrying now was pointless, so she might as well focus on recovering from her injuries and preventing that person from coming back.
"Well, you should rest for a while. You must not have slept well since you rushed over so quickly," Sirius said, pointing to the bed next to him.
"It's okay. How often do you change your bandages? Do you still have your IV fluids?" Jiang Chengcheng was still worried about Sirius's condition and couldn't sleep at all.
"The bandage dressing needs to be changed once a day, and this IV drip bottle should be empty by the end of the day," Sirius said, glancing at the nearly empty IV bottle.
"Okay, I'll go find a nurse to remove the needle for you in a bit." Jiang Chengcheng frowned as she looked at the IV drip above Sirius, which was flowing at a rapid pace. She got up and wanted to slow it down, but the IV bottles in E country were different from those in China. Jiang Chengcheng studied it for a long time but still couldn't figure out how to slow it down.
"Does this medicine hurt because it's going on so fast? Should I ask the nurse to slow it down for you?" Jiang Chengcheng didn't dare to move around because she couldn't find the operating device.
"It's nothing, I'm used to it. This is how IV drips are always done here." Sirius shook his head indifferently. This pain was nothing compared to the pain in his shoulder blade.
"Hehe." Jiang Chengcheng chuckled dryly upon hearing this, unsure of what to say. She thought to herself, "As expected of E country, even their IV drips are done in such a hardcore way. I just can't stand it."
About ten minutes later, Sirius's IV drip was almost empty, so Jiang Chengcheng ran to the hallway outside to find a nurse.
Not long after, the other party pushed open the door and walked in, carrying iodine, bandages, and other medical supplies.
It wasn't until the nurse removed the needle from Sirius's hand that Jiang Chengcheng noticed the oversized, grandmotherly-sized needle in Sirius's hand!
Jiang Chengcheng stared at the IV needle, which was thicker than her mother's needle, with an incredulous and indescribable expression, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Holy crap! Are all needles from China this hardcore?!
Are you sure you won't feel so much pain after the injection that you'll jump up on the spot?!
Sirius, who was standing to the side, noticed that Jiang Chengcheng's mouth was slightly open behind the nurse, and her expression seemed to be frozen in fear. He couldn't help but chuckle and asked with a puzzled look.
"what happened?"
Sirius was used to Jiang Chengcheng's occasional coquettishness and willfulness, but most of the time she was calm and composed. It was rare to see such an exaggerated expression on her face.
"You...don't you feel any pain? This needle is almost as sharp as the one my mom used to sew shoe soles." Jiang Chengcheng stared at Sirius, who remained unfazed, with an expression as if he were a warrior.
"It's alright." Sirius finally understood why Jiang Chengcheng had that expression. After all, the models of IV needles used in their country E were indeed vastly different from those in China.
“6. I’ve figured it out. The reason you’ve survived this long is because of the ‘nurturing’ of our motherland.” Jiang Chengcheng didn’t know how to express her feelings at this moment, so she directly said her sister Jiang Yue’s catchphrase.
“6?” Sirius had never used Chinese short video apps before and clearly didn’t understand what Jiang Chengcheng meant.
"It's internet slang, a compliment." Jiang Chengcheng didn't tell the other person the specific meaning of the number, only translating a rough one, but Sirius became even more confused after hearing this.
What is Chengcheng praising him for?
It seems that I will not only have to learn Chinese, but also internet slang in the future.
The nurse couldn't understand Mandarin, and even if she could, she wouldn't interrupt. She quickly removed the needle and began to unwrap the bandages to change Sirius's dressing.
"I can leave the medicine here and take care of it myself," Sirius said after a moment's pause, seeing the other person's actions.
"Okay." The nurse glanced at Jiang Chengcheng furtively, giving her a gossipy look, thinking that changing the dressing wasn't a difficult procedure, and she could do it herself if she wanted.
So the nurse left the bandages and medicine behind, got up, and pushed the trolley out of the ward.
"Um...should I go out too?" Jiang Chengcheng clearly didn't catch the nurse's gossipy look, nor did she understand Sirius's implied meaning.
At that moment, all she wanted to do was cover her eyes and slip out of the ward as fast as she could!
Who can resist a tall, handsome, composed, and strong man standing shirtless in front of you, showing off his eight-pack abs!
Jiang Chengcheng was genuinely afraid that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't be able to resist taking matters into her own hands...
"Chengcheng, can you help me change? It hurts a bit... I can't reach it." Sirius's voice was deep, and his posture was upright, but Jiang Chengcheng could clearly hear the words "playing the victim" in his tone!
No?! If you couldn't reach it, why did you send the nurse away?! Do you think I'm very professional at changing dressings?!
Jiang Chengcheng was filled with complaints, but she couldn't possibly voice her true thoughts.
After a long silence, Jiang Chengcheng spoke with slight hesitation.
"I don't know how to change the dressing... Or... should I go and get the nurse again?"
Jiang Chengcheng knew that what she said was really hypocritical. After all, she had just been secretly thinking about Sirius's eight-pack abs. But thinking about them was one thing, Jiang Chengcheng was just a coward with a heart but no guts!
“But they were so rough when changing the bandages, it really hurt so much. I was too embarrassed to ask them directly. Oh well, maybe I should do it myself.” Sirius sounded a little embarrassed when he heard Jiang Chengcheng’s words, and then he made a difficult gesture as he started to untie the bandages.
If any bystander saw that, they would definitely think that Sirius had been possessed!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chengcheng couldn't possibly let Sirius change it himself. After considering the medical care in Country E and the IV needles that could be used to make shoe soles, Jiang Chengcheng still couldn't bear to refuse Sirius.
I imagine that the way they change medicine in E country is also reckless and indiscriminate.
The healthcare system of country E: Slander! Blatant slander?
It's just changing the medication, it's not a big deal.
Jiang Chengcheng comforted herself in her heart.
Nurse: ...Why do I smell a musty, stale green tea smell...?
Jiang Chengcheng walked hesitantly to Sirius's side, closed her eyes, and untied the remaining bandages for him. Because she couldn't see, the sensation in Jiang Chengcheng's hands became clearer, and the burning heat went straight to Jiang Chengcheng's heart through her fingertips. At this moment, she seemed to be able to hear the two of them beating their hearts faster and faster with perfect clarity.
Jiang Chengcheng dared not open her eyes; at that moment, it seemed as if a ball of heat was rising from the top of her head.
"Chengcheng, how can I change your dressing if you don't open your eyes?" Sirius's deep, hoarse voice came from Jiang Chengcheng's ear.
"You talk too much! I can change your dressing without even looking!" Jiang Chengcheng pouted, feeling annoyed by Sirius's teasing, and her hands moved faster. She felt that he was clearly doing this on purpose!
hiss!
Jiang Chengcheng was closing her eyes to apply medicine to Sirius when, for some reason, she suddenly heard Sirius cry out in pain. Hearing this, she thought she had touched Sirius's wound and quickly opened her eyes to check on Sirius's condition.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chengcheng asked anxiously.
"Just kidding." Sirius's carefree laughter came from directly in front of Jiang Chengcheng, which infuriated her.
