Chapter 808: Baffling 11
When I handed the water to Shangguan Yun, he smiled and said, "My hand is a bit numb; will you give me a drink?"
Seeing Shangguan Yun's pleading eyes, I couldn't bear to refuse; if we were at home, I would definitely be willing to give him a drink.
Maybe even without him saying it, I would give him a drink, but this is after all a hospital, and we're still high school students.
We can't be so flashy; keep it low-key, definitely keep a low profile.
"Alright, wait a moment, I'll rub your hand for you." I said somewhat reluctantly.
After saying that, I gave Shangguan Yun water to drink; after he finished, I put the cup aside, lest he want another drink later and have to go ask the nurse, which would seem too wasteful.
Then I gently pinched Shangguan Yun's hand that he claimed had gone numb, using both hands.
I knew he definitely wasn't numb, just making an excuse; since he said it was numb, I would kindly rub it for him.
As expected, after a few rubs, Shangguan Yun gave me a guilty smile and said, "Okay, okay, that's enough; my hand is cold, hold it for me." He then pulled his hand back.
I gave him a look of contempt; he felt guilty and didn't dare look at me.
He perhaps knew I understood in my heart that he was doing it on purpose.
So I took hold of his icy hand again and said, "It's still so cold. How much longer will the IV take? Are you feeling really uncomfortable?"
I can feel that sensation; when the hand gets icy and numb, it's terribly uncomfortable, and in severe cases, the whole arm goes numb.
"Once the IV is done, it'll be fine; I estimate it'll take another hour or so. If you're tired, you can lean on my chest and sleep; when it's done, I'll wake you." Shangguan Yun said with a smile.
"I'm not impatient; I just feel sorry for your hand—it must be awful. How about this: I'll go outside and buy you a hand warmer; then your hand won't be so icy." I thought of this good idea.
But Shangguan Yun laughed and said, "No need; your hand is warmer than any hand warmer. I just need your hand." He said, pulling me close.
