Xu Nuan gulped in nervousness to see Jia Fei's questionable gaze. She heard Han Zihao calling her Jiang Yue. Did she catch on to it? But...is her situation too easy to guess? Like...is it that normal that she can easily catch on to it? She wondered.
However, since Han Zihao already found out the truth, way before she told him, she was skeptical about if Jia Fei knows the truth too. Maybe she would have caught on to that, just like Han Zihao did.
" Jia Fei, it's not as you think. I...I wasn't trying to hide it from you. It was just...too much to tell you guys."
Xu Nuan sighed in helplessness to see her friend staring at her as if she did some crime. " I was confused too. However, I was about to tell you guys about it soon. I didn't tell you anything by now because I was afraid that you won't believe me."
" But since you have already found out, I think it's time to-
Jia Fei frowned upon hearing Xu Nuan's explanation and felt even more annoyed. She raised her hand to stop her from speaking and walked closer to her in steady steps, " Xu Nuan, You...how can you do this? I heard your boyfriend calling you Jiang Yue. Do you think I am deaf or what?"
" You're so weird and perverted. Shameless!"
Xu Nuan glanced at Han Zihao who was also confused at the whole situation. He wanted to intervene but Xu Nuan squeezed his hand, not allowing him to say anything.
She doesn't want anyone to speak up in her and her friends' matters, not even him.
Jia Fei scoffed, " How can you force your boyfriend to call you Jiang Yue? Even if you're Jiang Yue's diehard fan, you cannot do this. It's not right."
" It's creepy as hell."
"....."
Xu Nuan was speechless upon hearing what Jia Fei said. Creepy and perverted?
"Wait...what?" She exclaimed in confusion.
" Yeah. Didn't you tell us that you were a fan of Jiang Yue? Even if you were her fan, isn't it too much to make your boyfriend call you by someone else's name?" She frowned.
She has met many crazy fans in her life but it was her first time seeing this kind of pervertedness.
Xu Nuan was baffled and didn't know from where she made this kind of theory? Like seriously?
She sighed in relief.' What was I even expecting from her? She never suspected that I and Qin Ju were dating even after seeing us together multiple times. If not for Luo Dan, she wouldn't have found out the truth. How can she guess this kind of complicated phenomenon that's hard to believe, even for her?' she shook her head after remembering how slow Jia Fei is at such things.
She looks like she is good at catching on to such things but she is the worst at it among all of them. She is slow as a snail when it comes to using her brain.
Xu Nuan laughed and said, " Oh, you're right. I told him to call me Jiang Yue. I am Jiang Yue's biggest fan, you see."
" Whenever I get angry, he calls me Jiang Yue to cool my temper. Right, honey?" She looked at Han Zihao with a sparkling gaze, taking him off guard.
Han Zihao was baffled when she called him...Honey? It was her first time calling him using such a name to call him and he couldn't help but blush at her sweet voice.
" AH," He winced when she pinched him and glared at him to go along with her play. He laughed and said, " She is right. I call her Jiang Yue whenever she gets angry. Also, doesn't she look similar to Jiang Yue, especially her lips?" He said, making Xu Nuan and Jia Fei, both frown.
Jia Fei was dumbfounded. She scoffed in disgust and said in annoyance, " Since you're here, I am leaving. The nurse will tell you everything about her condition."
" Ah, Yes. I will take care of it. Thank you." However, Jia Fei wasn't in the mood to accept his thanks.
" Perverted Couple." She murmured before leaving the room in shock. She was still feeling the goosebumps.
Xu Nuan watched Jia Fei leaving the room and sighed heavily after she left. She almost gave her a heart attack by appearing in front of them like this.
While she was trying to calm her nerves down, Han Zihao was looking at her with a mischievous smile and said, " What did you call me a while ago? Can you repeat that?"
Xu Nuan blushed seeing him smiling like that and slapped him on the shoulder in embarrassment, " Stop being cheeky. I was just going along with the play. Don't expect me to say that again."
" It's not fair. You cannot use me like that. And if you have used me, then use me properly." He said with a smirk and leaned closer to kiss her lips.
" Ah!"
However, he was surprised when she winced in pain. He was shocked when he realized that his hand mistakenly touched the IV drip that was attached to her hand and caused her discomfort.
" Does it hurt? I am sorry. Let me call the nurse." He said in worry but she stopped him from leaving. " It's fine. It doesn't hurt much."

The doctor told Xu Nuan to stay at the hospital for a day to go through some more tests. Even though her wounds have healed after the surgery, her body is still too weak.
To recuperate her energy and prevent her from coming to the emergency room frequently, her doctor asked her to consult the Chinese medicine doctor. The Chinese medicine department in their hospital is quite popular and experienced in this area.
The Chief of the Oriental medicine department is known for treating the patient with her acupuncture skills and specially brewed medicines that were made under her strict supervision.
_
As suggested by the doctor, Han Zihao took Xu Nuan to the Chinese medicine department in the evening. Since it was in the hospital itself, she didn't change her clothes and was still wearing the hospital gown.
The Chinese medicine department was on the third floor but she didn't use the wheelchair to go there and walked by herself. She was feeling better after the IV drip and she would have been discharged already if not for all the tests and all.
" This area smells differently than the other departments." She said in curiosity.
They were sitting outside the Chinese department on a couch and were waiting for their turn. The corridor was empty and there was no other patient in the corridor, other than them. They were the last ones to come after all.
Han Zihao was holding onto her hand and rubbed it gently, " It's the smell of the herbs and medicines. Did you see that room? They brew and make the medicines there." he said while pointing at the room in front of them.
" OH!" she exclaimed in amusement. Although the smell was kinda bitter and strange, it's better than all the chemicals. She just hates that smell.
After waiting for a while, the nurse finally called them in. " Ms. Xu Nuan, please come in."
Before going inside, Han Zihao fixed the cardigan that she was wearing but wanted to remove it, " Don't be stubborn. There are air-conditioners here, you will get cold."
She sighed as she had no choice but to agree to his nagging. He was becoming more like her mom than her boyfriend.

Xu Nuan pursed her lips as she looked at the doctor sitting in front of her curiously. She was wearing her white coat and has thin-framed, round specs on her nose.
She had expected some old man to be the doctor of Chinese medicine but was shocked to see a woman in her late 20s sitting on the chair of the Chief of the Chinese medicine department. What shocked her was, she was too pretty to be a Chinese medicine doctor.
She had tied her black silky hair in a ponytail and was wearing a sunflower-colored dress that was reaching to her knees. Xu Nuan raised her brows in surprise to see that she was wearing an imported brand. Not only that, the rose-gold watch that the doctor was wearing was the latest collection of the most famous brand.
' I still can't believe that she is a doctor. Her fashion sense is too good to be a doctor.'
'Should I ask her to join my company?' She wondered.
However, while she was busy staring at the pretty doctor, something hit her. She looks familiar.
" Ms. Xu, can you give me your hand for a minute. I need to check your pulse." The doctor said in a sweet voice.
However, Xu Nuan was lost in her thoughts and was rummaging through her mind to figure out her identity.
" Ms. Xu?" The lady doctor called out her name again.
Xu Nuan suddenly remembers where she has seen her. " Ah!! You...You're the one who played the role of Meng Huang in Eternal Love, right? The villainess Empress! No doubt you looked so familiar." She exclaimed in surprise.
