Chapter 457 - Small Cut

Su An An smiled, almost foolishly, once again. However, this time around, she didn't listen to Yan Chu's words because she had no intention of taking him for granted or treating him like a servant. He had already taken care of her the whole night and had even prepared so many things for her, so she didn't want to make him do even more things when she had already recovered.

Su An An believed that be it in a romantic relationship, or simply friendship or kinship, no one should be taken for granted. No one should treat the other person less than an equal because if that were the case, then the relationship wouldn't be fair and it would end up with one person putting in more effort than the other. That was why she washed the things on her own before she went back to read her script in the living room. By the time she was done reading her script, it was already almost dinner time, so she quickly went to bathe as she sweated a lot the last night.

A short moment later, Yan Chu opened the door with Su An An's card and found that no one was in the house. He panicked for a moment because he thought that she had fainted somewhere or was feeling unwell again. However, soon, he heard the sound of water flowing in the bathroom. He let out a breath of relief when he realized that she was bathing. However, he sighed because he had reminded her not to touch water, and yet, she still went to bathe. He then walked over to make sure that the water heater was on in case she caught a cold again because she forgot to on it. He then went to the kitchen to start cooking dinner and sighed once again when he saw that the dishes had already been washed.

Yan Chu then rolled his sleeves up and started to prepare for their dinner. He had brought some ingredients on his way back, so he could cook something different for dinner. While he was cooking, Su An An came out of the bathroom and was happy to see that he had indeed come back before dinner.

Su An An went to the kitchen and asked Yan Chu if he needed help. He shook his head and told her to dry her hair in case she got sick again. She went back to her room to blow dry her hair and once she was done, she sat on the sofa in the living room as she looked at him. She couldn't help but feel as though they were a couple, a married couple even, and she smiled inwardly at the thought.

Yan Chu continued on cooking even though he felt Su An An's stare. He tried his best to remain calm and normal on the surface as though he didn't know that she was staring at him. However, he still couldn't help but looked up to see how she looked like when she only had him in her eyes.

Their eyes met and Yan Chu almost flinched back from shock despite the fact that he was very prepared for it. However, he managed to keep it under control and glance away as though he hadn't notice Su An An's stare and was merely looking around. Meanwhile, she quickly looked away as she was both embarrassed and shocked from being caught staring at him.

Yan Chu went on to cut up other ingredients to turn away from her, but he couldn't concentrate as he was still drowned in the look in her eyes. His mind kept wandering to the look he saw earlier and as he wasn't looking carefully, he ended up cutting his own finger.

Yan Chu hissed a little due to the surprise and quickly went to the sink to wash his wound.

Su An An turned back immediately when she heard Yan Chu's hiss and when she saw blood flowing from his finger, she ran to him.

"You are bleeding!"

"I'm fine. It's just a small cut," Yan Chu brushed it off and continued to wash his wound.

Although the wound wasn't huge, it was still relatively big as it ran from the bottom of Yan Chu's nail to near the base of the thumb. The wound also caused a V-shape dent in his flesh as the knife had cut rather deeply into his flesh. 

Yan Chu was used to getting injured and slashed in the past because he was after all a part of a gang and they fought often. Moreover, after he followed Mo Xi, though he didn't take part in the fights against members of Poker, he still trained diligently in case he needed to help them. Hence, he got injured frequently as well and was scolded often by Mo Xi because of his lack of care for his own body, but even that didn't make him care for his own body more. That was why he paid no attention even though his wound now was rather huge.

"This is not a small cut! This is a deep cut! Even if it is a small cut, you still have to take care of it. If not, it could lead to serious complications in the future if it ended up getting an infection," Su An An spoke hurriedly as she anxiously went to get the medical kit.

"Don't bother about it. It's nothing and it will heal on its own very quickly," Yan Chu pulled Su An An back with his other hand.

"If that's what you think, then you should have just left me alone last night because it was just a fever, and I would have recovered on my own or if I had gone to the clinic. You didn't have to make a fuss about it," Su An An got free of Yan Chu's grip as she spoke and went off to find the medical kit again.
