Love So Sweet

721 Congratulations

Once the nurse could no longer be seen, Fu Chen turned to look at Bai Xi Xi again. His gaze shifted to her ankle as he looked at them with worry. “Are you sure you are alright?”

He still remembered the painful look on Bai Xi Xi’s face when her friends were trying to lift her up. Therefore, Fu Chen was doubting the nurse’s words when she said that Bai Xi Xi’s injury was not that serious.

“I’m fine.” Bai Xi Xi nodded. “You heard what the nurse said. Fortunately, it wasn’t that serious. I should be alright after resting for a few days.”

Fu Chen was still not convinced. He felt that Bai Xi Xi could still lie because she did not want to make him feel bad.

“Really, I’m fine,” Bai Xi Xi said helplessly when she noticed the doubtful look on Fu Chen’s face. “It’s just that... Maybe I’m a little tired and my legs were cramping a little bit. After all, it has been a while since I joined a basketball match.”

It was then that Fu Chen remember that Bai Xi Xi has been running the 400 meters sprint before the match. Then, she played two matches and help him win.

Thinking about this made him feel guilty.

In the end, it was because of helping him that Bai Xi Xi was injured, right?

He glanced at her ankle again and spoke, “If it hurts again, you have to tell me. Mmm... If you need anything, you have to tell me. You cannot move around and delay your recovery.”

.....

The man was speaking too much with a lot of reminders for her. Bai Xi Xi thought that Fu Chen was worst than her brother who worked as a doctor.

“Fu Chen, thank you for taking me to the infirmary,” Bai Xi Xi was quick to change the topic.

“It’s alright.” Fu Chen heaved a sigh. “Actually, I am the one who should be thanking you. After all, you helped me to win this match.”

Bai Xi Xi flashed him a smile. “That’s right. Congratulations.”

He won the basketball match against Yang Xu and his team. However, Fu Chen was not feeling too happy about it. After all, Bai Xi Xi was injured because of him. Google search 𝘧r𝙚e𝓌𝐞𝑏𝗻𝑜𝘷𝙚Ɩ. com

“The next time you had a match, I will come over and support you.”

Hearing this made Fu Chen feel more at ease. “Mmm... Then, I will have to work hard.”

Suddenly, Fu Chen began to look forward to that day when Bai Xi Xi would come to support him during his basketball match.

“Working with the basketball team would be difficult,” Bai Xi Xi said. “You might have won the bet and was let to stay with the team. However, I can see that Yang Xu and the others were not fully accepting you into the team. Therefore, Fu Chen, you really have to work hard in the team.”

Bai Xi Xi wondered if Yang Xu would be as petty as Jian Chi. Would Yang Xu let Fu Chen play for the team? Or would he let Fu Chen into the team and let him stay as a reserved player who would never be called to play?

The basketball team might not be fair to Fu Chen. But, Bai Xi Xi was looking forward to seeing how Fu Chen was going to stay and fight.

She had already helped him this much.

If he did not fight for his chance to play, then, she would be very disappointed.

After a while, the nurse returned to the room while carrying a bag of ice. She wrapped them in a towel before helping to press Bai Xi Xi’s ankle with the ice compress.

The cold made Bai Xi Xi flinch. After a while, the injured area was no longer as painful.

The nurse was giving Bai Xi Xi a few reminders on how she should be looking after her injury when a student walked into the infirmary with bated breath.

“Nurse, someone fainted in the track field,” the student shouted the moment he raised his head. “The teacher wanted you to go and take a look.”

The nurse stood up hurriedly with a worried look on her face. Then, she looked at Bai Xi Xi’s ankle before tossing the ice bag to Fu Chen. “Classmate, help me to press the ice to your friend’s ankle. Do it for another five minutes. I’ll have to go and check the situation first.”

Fu Chen stared at the ice bag in his hand and nodded.

Without saying anything more, the nurse grabbed her small bag before leaving with the male student to look at the fainted student.

Once he could no longer see the nurse, Fu Chen pulled a chair and sit down. Then, he picked up Bai Xi Xi’s legs and started to press the ice bag against her ankle.

Bai Xi Xi flinched when Fu Chen touched her leg. But, Fu Chen was thinking that Bai Xi Xi was flinching because of the pain.

“Does it hurt?” Fu Chen looked at Bai Xi Xi anxiously.

“No. The ice is too cold.”

It was then that Fu Chen breathe in relief.

Bai Xi Xi stretched her hand at Fu Chen. “Just give me the ice pack. Let me do it myself. You can leave first. I’ll be fine here.”

Fu Chen frowned. “No. The nurse assigned me to this task. I am not going to leave halfway. Besides, I can’t leave when the nurse is away. What if another student came to look for treatment? At least, when I’m around, I can do something to help.”

Bai Xi Xi hesitated, but Fu Chen was not going to let her reject his help. He continued to hold Bai Xi Xi’s foot with one hand and pressed the ice on her ankle with another.

The nurse gave him the task to give Bai Xi Xi a cold compress on the ankle for five minutes and Fu Chen was going to do this task seriously.

While Fu Chen was concentrating on his task, Bai Xi Xi’s gaze shifted to the hand that was holding her foot.

The image of Fu Chen holding her foot made her embarrass. This act was a little too intimate, wasn’t it?
