"The wound has already become somewhat infected and has wood splinters in it. Fortunately, you were brought in on time; otherwise, you would have had to stay in the hospital for at least a month," the doctor said seriously while cleaning Xinran's wound with disinfecting tools.
"Then... does that mean I don't need to be hospitalized?" Xinran sighed in relief, glancing gratefully at Dong Shan Zhong, who had been by her side. It was a good thing he insisted on bringing her to the hospital; otherwise, she would have tried to hold out until the audition was over, and what awaited her then would likely be a month stuck in the hospital.
"You won't need to be hospitalized, but for now, you must avoid putting too much weight on your foot. It's best to rest at home for a week until the swelling goes down and the wound heals before resuming walking," the doctor advised coldly.
"A week? But I..." Xinran started to protest. Was it really that serious? She had twisted her ankle before; did they really think she was some pampered princess? A week without any engagements at home—did they expect her to just sit around? She had finally gained some recognition thanks to Augus, and besides, Chen Dao's film was set to start shooting in two days. There was no way she could afford that kind of downtime.
"Doctor, we understand. Is there anything else we need to pay attention to?" Dong Shan Zhong asked the doctor, cutting off Xinran's words.
"Your boyfriend is quite sensible. An ankle injury can vary greatly; do you think no one has ever been left with mobility issues from just twisting an ankle?" The doctor shot Xinran an annoyed glance before turning back to Dong Shan Zhong with a gentle expression. "Later, you can go to the pharmacy and buy some disinfectant according to the prescription I've written. Remember to apply medicine for her once in the morning and once at night. Just make sure the wound doesn't get wet!"
"Yes, I will remember that. Thank you very much, doctor."
"No need to be polite; it's our duty as doctors. You both should rest for a bit; once the medicine on her ankle dries, you can leave," the doctor instructed before smiling warmly at Dong Shan Zhong and leaving, completely different from how he had treated Xinran.
Xinran felt a bit displeased but smartly kept it to herself. With such an elegant and charming man consulting the doctor, anyone would respond diligently. But what did this man really want? She wasn't foolish; she could see through his pretended concern. He acted as if he was wholeheartedly taking care of her as his 'girlfriend,' not only refraining from contradicting her but also deliberately acknowledging her as such! They barely knew each other; they had only met today—or perhaps not even that!
And that doctor must be a clueless bookworm; with all the buzz outside about Augus admitting to dating a female star from their circle, how could he not know? She had been carried into the hospital by Dong Shan Zhong while many people looked at her in shock, probably thinking she was involved with this man behind Augus's back. Thanks to the paparazzi, her reputation wasn't great anyway, but this doctor had spent so long treating her wound without realizing she was Summer—the one currently stirring up public outrage. He probably never followed entertainment news!
"Dong Shan Zhong, we're not actually dating, are we?" Xinran leaned against the hospital bed and asked the man beside her.
"Not yet," he nodded in response.
"What do you mean by 'not now'? Will it be later?" Xinran straightened up, lowering her voice as she glared at Dong Shan Zhong.
"This is how I see it, but the key depends on whether you agree to my pursuit," Dong Shan Zhong said, a slight smile curving his lips, revealing a charming grin that could overshadow the sun and moon, leaving Xinran almost stunned.
