Chapter 354 - 187._3
Qin Zhenzhen nodded, "Mm-hmm, the call went through, the village chief and others should be arriving soon."Nan Wan stopped talking, Qin Zhenzhen kept staring at the doorway, as time ticked away, she became increasingly anxious.
She clasped her hands into fists and pressed them against her chest, praying for no secondary collapse.
Nan Wan held an umbrella with one hand, while the other hand hung at her side, nails deeply embedded into her palm.
Her long hair was scattered, her face smudged with dirt, and there wasn’t a clean spot on her clothes, yet despite her disheveled appearance, her eyes were clearer than ever.
The sound of raindrops hitting the ground made her acutely aware of a part deep inside her heart slowly breaking apart.
In the past, with those vague pretenses and denials, she couldn’t discern her true feelings.
But now, she was very certain that she only wanted to be with him.
No matter what she had to endure in the future, she was willing to embrace it.
...
The responsible leader, the village chief, along with a dozen doctors and villagers who arrived after receiving the news, clogged the already narrow yard.
The more people went in under such circumstances, the more dangerous it became; there were already two people inside, so they could only hold their breath and wait.
The flashlight beams focused on the sole exit, and when Mu Jin Huan emerged with the barely breathing elderly woman on his back, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Nan Wan couldn’t hear the sounds around her, the people coming and going turned into vague shadows, only he was clear.
Liu An took an umbrella from the village chief, opened it, and handed it to Mu Jin Huan, who received it and stepped in front of Nan Wan.
Under the flickering light, he saw the worry on her messy little face, and lifted his hand to wipe the dirt under her eyes, only to find his hand was dirtier.
Suppressing the urge to hug her, he spoke, "Don’t worry, I wasn’t hurt."
Nan Wan looked at him and then tossed aside the umbrella in her hand, threw herself into the man’s arms, wrapped her hands tightly around his lean waist as if using up all her strength.
In a low voice, "Mu Huan, do you know what I was thinking?"
The people around were escorting the elderly woman down the steps, holding umbrellas, illuminating, lifting the stretcher, and talking loudly, creating a noisy and chaotic scene.
Only Liu An and Qin Zhenzhen stood quietly aside.
Mu Jin Huan paused momentarily and embraced the slender woman, "What?"
Nan Wan tilted her head up, and her bloodless cheeks revealed a faint smile as she said, "I was thinking, if you couldn’t come out, I’d go in to accompany you."

While Nan Wan went to fetch spare clothes for Mu Jin Huan, Qin Zhenzhen sensibly moved her luggage to a room next door and then began narrating tonight’s thrilling experience.
The rain had stopped, everyone was eating in the yard, and someone joked, "Qin Zhenzhen, you sure are lucky, going to the toilet at just the right time."
"Of course," Qin Zhenzhen swallowed the food in her mouth and poked the girl sitting next to her, mysteriously saying, "Let me tell you, Mr. Mu is unbelievably handsome, have you ever seen Doctor Nan cry? You haven’t, right! I saw it tonight."
The girl looked at her as if she were an idiot, "They’re husband and wife, life and death are unpredictable, of course, she would be worried."
Qin Zhenzhen, swooning, sighed, "Tsk tsk tsk, Doctor Nan had that look as if she’d wait even if the mountains collapsed and the earth split."
Nan Wan, returning with the clothes, happened to hear this sentence, and her cheeks flushed unnaturally.
Everyone’s gaze turned simultaneously but soon shifted away.
"Uh..." Qin Zhenzhen laughed awkwardly twice, "Doctor Nan, hurry up and get ready, we’re waiting for you to eat."
Nan Wan didn’t want to answer her, stepped inside the house, the conditions were limited, men and women were living together, and the shower was on the second floor.
First, she knocked on Liu An’s door, "Your clothes are at the door."
"Okay, okay, thank you, ma’am."
Liu An secretly sighed: If it weren’t for the circumstances, he wouldn’t have such treatment.
President Mu was just next door, separated by a wall, he could hear the lady speaking to President Mu in the corridor.
Obviously much gentler than when she spoke to him.
"Have you finished washing?"
The soft voice passed through the door, Mu Jin Huan turned off the shower, "Yes."
"Then I’ll leave the clothes outside."
Mu Jin Huan grabbed a towel to wipe off the water droplets on his body, his voice low, "The door’s not locked, bring them in."
Upon hearing the man’s words, Nan Wan’s head froze for a few seconds, undoubtedly nothing would be worn while showering, and he didn’t even lock the door?
