Chapter 161: How Can You Be Such a Boyfriend?
Wen Wan sat somewhat awkwardly on the bed, having already changed her clothes and tidied her hair.
Chen Fan's gaze swept across the floor, noticing the disorderly scene, and he somewhat understood what had happened.
It seemed she had tried earlier, but found it difficult to go downstairs alone. Otherwise, given Wen Wan's character, she would not have actively called for his help.
"No problem."
To avoid making her feel awkward, Chen Fan did not say much. He simply walked over and gently helped Wen Wan up.
"Can you walk?"
Wen Wan hopped on one foot, while the other foot clearly did not dare to touch the ground.
Chen Fan frowned, "It seems not. Your foot is still swollen."
Wen Wan blushed, feeling embarrassed.
"Could you hurry up a bit? I... need to go to the restroom."
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Chen Fan immediately realized the situation.
No wonder she had called for his help, she must have been holding it in and couldn't wait any longer.
Without further ado, Chen Fan bent down and scooped Wen Wan up in his arms.
He swiftly went downstairs and rushed into the restroom, setting her down on the toilet.
"I'll be right outside. Call me if you need anything."
Wen Wan's face flushed red with embarrassment as she looked at Chen Fan, who had rushed out, feeling uncertain.
She really had no choice. If she didn't seek Chen Fan's help, she might not have been able to leave the house today.
After Wen Wan had finished using the restroom, washing up, and putting on some light makeup, she hobbled out to find that Chen Fan had returned.
"I bought breakfast since you probably can't go out and buy it today."
Chen Fan gestured toward the soybean milk and fried dough sticks he had placed on the dining table.
"Thank you..."
Wen Wan initially wanted to refuse, but then she thought that since Chen Fan had already witnessed her more embarrassing situations, there was no need to be so reserved.
After quickly washing his face and brushing his teeth, Chen Fan joined Wen Wan for breakfast, marking the first time they had eaten together.
"Do you need to go to the hospital later?"
Wen Wan nodded.
"With your condition... it won't be convenient, right?"
Chen Fan frowned, "Do you have any relatives or friends? You could ask them to stand in for you for a day."
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment, then shook her head.
"No need."
Chen Fan sighed, knowing this woman must have some unspoken difficulties.
However, if she didn't have any unspoken difficulties, she wouldn't have fallen to the point of renting out her own home.
After finishing their simple breakfast, Chen Fan went upstairs to retrieve Wen Wan's down jacket and shoes.
Seeing Wen Wan dressed and hopping on one foot toward the door, Chen Fan could no longer bear it.
"Wait a minute."
"I happen to have an errand to run, so I'll accompany you to the school gate."
"Give me three minutes."
Wen Wan turned around and watched as Chen Fan rushed into the study. Her eyes flickered, but she didn't say anything.
The errand excuse was naturally a lie, but Wen Wan couldn't refuse Chen Fan's well-intentioned offer.
As he helped Wen Wan downstairs, Chen Fan thought about the distance from here to the school gate. It would take at least half an hour by foot, and Wen Wan's foot was still inconvenient.
If he carried her on his back... she definitely wouldn't agree.
While Chen Fan was pondering, his gaze fell upon the row of bicycles parked near the basketball court.
A male student had just secured his bike and was about to lock it. Chen Fan called out to him.
"Hey, classmate, how much did you buy your bike for?"
The student looked at Chen Fan with puzzlement, his gaze noticing the beautiful Wen Wan beside him, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
"Seventy-plus. I bought a secondhand bike."
"If you want to buy one, you could check out the secondhand bike shop in the city. There's an entire street selling these."
Chen Fan smiled and pointed at the student's bicycle.
"Actually, this is what I meant. I'm in a bit of a hurry now. Could you sell me your bike?"
"I'll give you a hundred."
The student was taken aback.
"Dude, are you kidding me?"
Chen Fan decisively took out a 100 yuan bill.
"Help a brother out."
The male student glanced at Wen Wan behind them and thought he understood why Chen Fan wanted to buy the bicycle, of course, it was to pick up girls.
"Hey, sold to you."
"Brother, not a bad girlfriend. Really beautiful."
"Thanks, man."
Chen Fan took the keys, rode the bicycle over to Wen Wan's side.
"Get on."
Wen Wan frowned, "You... why did you buy a bicycle?"
Chen Fan smiled, "I wouldn't mind carrying you, but would you be okay with that?"
Wen Wan's face turned red as she hesitated for a moment, but then she gingerly sat sideways on the backseat.
"Sit tight. Let's go."
Chen Fan pushed forward forcefully, pedaling hard as they instantly shot out.
This guy rode the bike steadily and quickly.
He even hummed a tune excitedly,
"The willow swayed in the wind,
Swish swish swish swish swish.
The water in the little stream flowed,
Burble burble burble burble burble.
Whose daughter-in-law is she?
She walked hurriedly and busily,
She was actually going back to her mother's home..."
Wen Wan listened with a deadpan expression, truly at a loss for words.
How old was this kid, singing songs that his parents' generation enjoyed?
Upon reaching the school gate, Chen Fan parked and locked the bicycle.
Then, he hailed a taxi.
Carefully helping Wen Wan get in and settle down.
"Teacher Wen, it's best if you have the doctor take a look at your foot while you're at the hospital."
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"I understand. Thank..."
Before Wen Wan could finish thanking him, in the next second, Chen Fan also bent down and climbed into the taxi.
Without waiting for Wen Wan to speak, Chen Fan smiled.
"I've been feeling a bit of heat recently, and my tooth has been aching. I'll take this opportunity to go to the hospital too."
Wen Wan looked deeply at Chen Fan but remained silent, her head lowered.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Chen Fan indeed did not mention the toothache again. Instead, he borrowed a wheelchair from a nurse and pushed Wen Wan directly to the orthopedic department.
Wen Wan tried to politely refuse a few times, as she did not have much money left.
But Chen Fan paid no heed and insisted on taking her to the orthopedic department.
After registering, queuing up, and waiting for about half an hour, they finally got their turn.
Chen Fan pushed Wen Wan inside and briefly explained the situation to the doctor.
The doctor felt her foot.
"Does this hurt?"
Wen Wan immediately frowned in pain and nodded.
"How about here?"
Similarly, it hurt severely, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"It's likely a fracture."
The doctor quickly made the assessment, "But to confirm, it's best to get an X-ray."
Wen Wan was about to refuse, but Chen Fan spoke up first.
"Then let's get an X-ray."
As the doctor examined her and scolded Chen Fan,
"How can you be such a boyfriend? Your girlfriend's foot is swollen like this, and you don't even care?"
"You should have brought her to the hospital for treatment right away last night."
"You actually let her suffer through the whole night alone?"
These words startled Chen Fan, and he turned to look at Wen Wan beside him.
This woman was clearly also made uncomfortable by the doctor's words, her face slightly flushed.
"Actually, we're not..."
Wen Wan was about to explain, but Chen Fan smiled wryly and nodded.
"I was careless. I'll definitely be more mindful next time."
This doctor had a strong sense of justice and glared sternly at Chen Fan.
"You want there to be a next time?"
"No, no, I don't."
Chen Fan quickly waved his hands.
"Young people in relationships should be more attentive. A girlfriend is someone to cherish, not neglect carelessly."
Chen Fan nodded with a bitter smile, indicating he understood.
Wen Wan watched this scene unfold, her initial awkwardness suddenly easing quite a bit.
"Go get the X-ray. Second floor, turn right and go to the end, the CT room for registration..."
