Xu Nian'an automatically found two bowls and grabbed two spoons, and soon enough, two servings of mung bean jelly were freshly made.
Xu Nian'an gave one to Du Chang, and carried the other back to the rear yard for... Doctor Du's grandson.
Watching Xu Nian'an take the snack into the backyard, Du Chang pulled down the last layer of gauze, and beneath it, the wound looked especially fierce.
While changing the bandages, Du Chang sized up Xu Nianhua, and saw that she didn't blink or even frown—he cleaned the wound with antiseptic as he asked, "You're not afraid of pain?"
Xu Nianhua paused for a moment before replying, "This little injury doesn't hurt."
She added silently in her heart: What hurt was the Sea of Fire back then, and when treating those massive burns—that was real pain.
"You're very strong."
Du Chang said approvingly. Xu Nianhua looked delicate, but in reality, she was incredibly resilient.
