Even though ni and Wan’er differ by just a single word, to Charlie, the distinction holds immense significance!
He felt an instant chill run down his spine and, in a state of shock, weakly asked, “No… you… you remember me?!”
Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded and, while supporting the frail Charlie to guide him towards the boudoir, softly replied, “Brother Charlie saved Wan’er’s life in Northern Europe; Wan’er could never forget that!” Charlie’s heart was a whirlwind of emotions.
He whispered, “Why… why do you still remember… Could it be… are you also a monk?”
“Did you erase the memory…?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Noticing the physical closeness between them, she shyly interjected, “Brother Charlie, please don’t ask Wan’er any questions right now. Once I help you settle in, I promise to exin everything clearly and won’t hide anything!”
Charlie gave a slight nod.
He was aware that it was challenging for Lin Wan’er (ni) to support him, and he wished to lend her as much strength as he could. However, aside from being able to open his eyes and talk, his body felt almost entirely paralyzed, rendering him unable to assist.
Yet, Charlie felt a sense of relief in the midst of his predicament; despite his immobility, he could still feel pain!
Experiencing pain meant he wasn’t a paraplegic.
It took the slight Lin Wan’er (ni) a grueling half hour to carry Charlie back to the room, slowly helping him into the bedroom on the second floor and gently cing him on her boudoir bed.
Throughout this entire process, both of them were unclothed, their bodies remaining closely intertwined.
Initially, Lin Wan’er (ni) felt a wave of embarrassment, but soon she set her shyness aside, focusing solely on assisting Charlie as she carefully moved his injured body.
The moment Charliey down, he caught sight of Lin Wan’er (ni)’s flushed cheeks, the fine beads of sweat on her forehead, and her wless form, devoid of any coverings. Realizing that he shouldn’t gaze any longer, he quickly shut his eyes.
Seeing his reaction, Lin Wan’er (ni) felt an even deeper sense of embarrassment, but she chose to ignore it. She covered Charlie with a light quilt and positioned two pillows behind him so he could lean against the headboardfortably.
During this whole time, Charlie kept his eyes closed, which warmed Lin Wan’er (ni)’s heart.
Once Charlie was settled, she wrapped herself in a cotton and linen robe from the hanger next to the bed, enveloping her graceful figure.
Then, she hurried back to the bed, sitting on the floor beside it, gazing at Charlie as she asked, “Brother Charlie, how are you feeling now?”
Hearing her gentle voice so close, Charlie slowly opened his eyes.
Though aware that Lin Wan’er (ni) was far from ordinary, he sensed she wasn’t his enemy. He parted his cracked lips and inquired, “Miss Lin… why am I here?” Lin Wan’er (ni) smiled and responded, “
“Before you ask anything, let me check your pulse.”
With that, she gently took Charlie’s right hand, ced her fingers on his pulse point, and after a moment of concentration, she announced, “Brother Charlie, although your internal injuries are severe, thankfully they’re not life-threatening.”
Charlie eximed in surprise, “You know how to treat injuries?”
Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded, “I have a bit of knowledge in various fields, but it’s just a little.”<fn3875> The rightful source is FιndNovel</fn3875>
Charlie couldn’t help but sigh, “Before I left, I brought a lot of medicine with me, but now I don’t have anything…”
Then a thought struck him, and he quickly asked Lin Wan’er (ni), “By the way, what’s the date and what time is it?”
Charlie was uncertain how long it had been since he suddenly found himself in this ce.
