After my pharmacy was opened, I turned my life around.

Chapter 23 Two people hiding in the bathroom

An Zhiyuan's body suddenly stiffened slightly. After about two or three seconds, she hurriedly reached out and grabbed the towel on the shelf at the door, covered her body tightly with it, and turned around quickly.

"Xiao Jingyan, why is it you?"

The two of them stared at each other. Her thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and her ears instantly turned red like ripe apples, burning hot.

Xiao Jingyan suppressed the heat in his body and frowned, "Who do you think it is?"

His eyes fell on her bandaged arm, and there was a hint of concern in his voice.

"How did your arm get hurt? Who did it?"

The footsteps coming from downstairs were getting closer and closer. An Zhiyuan thought to himself, "Oh no!" and had no time to think about replying to him.

Suddenly, a living person appeared in the room out of nowhere, and it was a man.

The explanation is not clear.

An Zhiyuan pulled him into the bathroom, and the next second pushed him against the wall behind the door, while closing the door with his heel.

When Xiao Jingyan saw her panic, he suddenly felt a sense of humiliation that he could not bear to see in public.

"An, Zhi, Yuan." He gritted his teeth and called out her name word by word.

"Shh!" An Zhiyuan quickly reached out and covered his thin lips, "Don't talk."

Although he was unhappy, he still did as he was told and kept his mouth shut.

As the footsteps got closer, An Zhiyuan became more nervous and unknowingly moved closer to Xiao Jingyan.

The displeasure on the man's face gradually melted away, and then his tightly pursed thin lips unconsciously curled up slightly.

"Yuan'er? Yuan'er?"

An Zhiyuan held his breath and curled up behind the narrow door.

The hand covering Xiao Jingyan's mouth tightened unconsciously, as if this could completely cover up the sound of his breathing.

Her legs were slightly bent and her body pressed involuntarily against his.

I pricked up my ears and listened to the footsteps outside coming closer and closer. My heart beat faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of my throat.

"Yuan'er? Little Yuanyuan? Little Yuanzi?" Shen Weining pushed open the door and walked in, calling her as she walked. Seeing that there was no one in the bedroom, she said, "Hey! Where's the person?"

Seeing that the bathroom door was closed, she walked over.

Arriving at the bathroom door, she raised her hand and knocked, "Yuanzi? It's been so long, and you haven't changed your clothes yet?"

Seeing no response, Shen Weining held the door handle and reminded, "I'm coming in!"

An Zhiyuan's eyes fell on the slightly turning doorknob, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead unconsciously.

Seeing her sweat due to nervousness, Xiao Jingyan raised his arm and quickly wiped it for her with his sleeve.

She glared back.

It's already this late, but he still has the mind to wipe his sweat.

The doorknob turned and a tense atmosphere filled the bathroom.

An Zhiyuan stared at the door handle, her body unconsciously pressed tightly against him, trying her best to suppress her anger, not daring to make even the slightest sound.

She was so nervous that her eyelashes trembled constantly and her teeth were biting her lower lip so hard that it was almost bleeding.

The door opened slowly, and after she thought she was about to be discovered, the bathroom door was only one-third open.

Shen Weining stood at the door and looked around, "Hey! He's not in the bathroom either."

The two people hiding behind the door pressed their bodies tightly together.

An Zhiyuan could clearly hear her doubts.

Xiao Jingyan stared at the crack in the door like a hawk, with one arm around her waist and the other hand patting her back soothingly to ease her tension.

An Zhiyuan's hand unconsciously slid to the man's chest and clenched into a fist, with her knuckles turning white due to the force. The narrow space left them with almost no room to turn around. Xiao Jingyan slightly turned sideways and leaned his back against the wall, trying to gain more space for her.

An Zhiyuan stood on tiptoe and tried to shrink into the corner, silently praying in his heart that she would not come in.

Xiao Jingyan was not afraid of being discovered, but she pressed tightly against him, and the heat that had originally dissipated in his body gradually rose.

His chest rose and fell rapidly, and he took a deep breath, trying to suppress the fire that was gradually burning in his body.

One foot unconsciously moved slightly, trying to find a more stable support point.

"Could it be in the attic?" Shen Weining asked doubtfully, "I'll look for it again."

After a few minutes, the door was closed.

Shen Weining's footsteps gradually faded away. An Zhiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and dared to slowly relax his tense nerves.

Once the bedroom door was closed, the room returned to silence.

Her tense body finally relaxed gradually, her tightly clenched fists opened slightly, and her palms were covered with sweat.

Xiao Jingyan's body became increasingly hot.

When his eyes touched the wound on her arm, he quickly withdrew his hand from her back and gently lifted her injured arm.

The man frowned and asked with concern: "What's going on?"

The deep voice became a little hoarse due to the heat.

An Zhiyuan looked away and waved his left hand, "It's no big deal."

"It's not a big deal, why is it bandaged so tightly?" Xiao Jingyan didn't believe it at all and thought she was just trying to fool him.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's really okay!" She explained with a smile, "It looks serious, but it's actually a minor injury. I asked the doctor...the doctor to bandage it like this on purpose."

The purpose was to create a scene at An Liangeng's house and to show it to the neighbors there.

Xiao Jingyan's sudden appearance puzzled her, "Aren't you going to fight the plague? It's over so soon?"

"No, I'm here to ask how often I should use the fever medicine. Don't worry, I've already disinfected my whole body before you came."

It's not that he didn't remember, he just wanted to see her for some reason and found an excuse.

"I remember saying it in the recording!" An Zhiyuan wondered, did she forget to say it?

"Forget it, do you have a recorder with you?"

"I didn't bring it." The answer was very straightforward.

"Okay! You need to take the fever medicine every 2 to 3 hours."

Thinking of the scene just now, An Zhiyuan let out a long sigh and murmured in a low voice, "It was a close call just now. She almost found out."

Although the sound was very small, the two of them were close together, so even the slightest sound could be clearly heard by the man.

Xiao Jingyan lowered his head and his handsome eyebrows were tightly pressed into a line, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart.

"Are you afraid that others will know of my existence?"

An Zhiyuan said without hesitation, "Of course."

She has been a solo woman since birth, and a man suddenly appeared in her bedroom. If they knew about this, she would be interrogated thoroughly.

There is currently no reasonable reason for his sudden appearance.

An Zhiyuan raised his head and met those eyes that were as deep as a pool and full of complex emotions. His heart beat inexplicably as violently as a drum.

The two people's hearts were beating wildly due to completely opposite emotions, and they could clearly see each other through the thin clothes.

Even the surrounding temperature seemed to be affected, rising slightly.

At this moment, the air in the room seemed to become sticky.
