Xiao Han dashed out, feeling that being caught a glimpse of her chest wasn't such a big deal after all.
She had seen plenty of male and female bodies before, but as a doctor, she had only regarded them as a collection of organs back then.
But now... she inexplicably felt embarrassed and ashamed.
"Ugh, so annoying!" Xiao Han stomped her foot, gritting her teeth and fidgeting with her fingers. "I've never let a man take advantage of me in my entire life!"
Then, she thought again, "Well, it's true that I was the one sneaking into someone else's place first, leading to being caught."
But in this situation, was it even more impossible for her to get hold of the treasure map now?
"Sigh..."
Xiao Han sighed, deciding to go sleep with Liu Yan tonight!
Tomorrow's troubles could wait for tomorrow!
...
Early the next morning, Yuan Zhan saw Xiao Han coming out of Liu Yan's room with his own eyes.
His eyes widened like copper bells, in recent days, he seemed to be shifting between reality and dreams, almost losing his mind!
"Xiao Han, how... how did you come out of Miss Liu's room?"
"I slept with her last night!" Xiao Han blurted out.
"What did you say?!" Yuan Zhan exploded, "Not only did you sleep with my young master, but you also slept with Miss Liu?!"
Xiao Zimo and Liu Yan happened to come out from their respective rooms at the same time, hearing Yuan Zhan's words.
"..."
"You... you're shameless! I'm going to kill you, you pervert!" Yuan Zhan angrily drew his sword and swung it towards Xiao Han.
Several golden needles flew and struck Yuan Zhan's sword, deflecting it away from Xiao Han.
Yuan Zhan turned his head, looking at Xiao Zimo behind him in frustration. "Young Master, why did you save him? Do you like him that much? What's so likable about this guy anyway?"
Xiao Zimo: "..."
Xiao Han retorted without backing down, "What's wrong with you so early in the morning? Who I sleep with is none of your business! Is Liu Yan related to you in any way?"
Xiao Han walked over and put her arm around Liu Yan's waist, provocatively looking at Yuan Zhan. "What? Got the guts to do the same? See if she's willing to let you!"
"You..." Yuan Zhan was infuriated by Xiao Han's taunts.
"Xiao Big Brother, stop teasing him..." Liu Yan was about to speak.
"Don't say anything!" Xiao Han stopped Liu Yan and turned to Yuan Zhan, "What are you so angry about if I slept with Liu Yan? Tell me, why are you so mad?"
Yuan Zhan was so angry that he couldn't utter a word.
"Could it be that you're jealous? What's this? Do you like Liu Yan? So you're mad?"
Yuan Zhan seemed to be caught off guard by Xiao Han's words, subconsciously looking at Liu Yan.
"Xiao Big Brother, don't talk nonsense..." Liu Yan hurriedly pulled Xiao Han.
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, just ask him and you'll know?" Xiao Han asked again, "Yuan Zhan, I thought you were a man. If you like her, just admit it. If you don't, I'll marry her!"
"I..." Yuan Zhan rarely blushed, "Even if I like her, I won't be like you! Flirting with someone before marriage!"
"So... you do like her?" Xiao Han asked.
"I..." Yuan Zhan made up his mind, "Yes, I do like Miss Liu! So what? If you dare to hurt her, I won't spare you!"
Upon hearing Yuan Zhan's words, Liu Yan was visibly stunned.
Xiao Han smiled, took Liu Yan's hand, and walked up to Yuan Zhan, "Well, the truth can't be hidden anymore! I'll tell you the truth, actually... I'm a girl!"
Xiao Han untied her hairband, and her black hair cascaded down.
Xiao Zimo, who had been silent on the side, darkened his gaze upon seeing Xiao Han like this.
Yuan Zhan was momentarily stunned, before finally saying one word, "You..."
"Alright, I'll leave Yan to you!" Xiao Han pushed Liu Yan into Yuan Zhan's arms.
Yuan Zhan instinctively caught her, and Liu Yan blushed, immediately straightening her body.
"Mission accomplished! I'll be off!" With that, Xiao Han swaggered out.
Yuan Zhan was still standing there in a daze, "Is she really a girl?"
"Absolutely!" Liu Yan replied, "I was also quite surprised when I found out before! She's a girl, but she's so bold."
Xiao Zimo pushed the wheelchair over, "Miss Liu, did you already know she was a girl?"
"Yes." Liu Yan felt a bit embarrassed thinking about the earlier misunderstanding, "She asked me not to tell anyone, so I kept it a secret. But she really meant no harm, she just said dressing as a man could save a lot of trouble! Otherwise, you wouldn't have agreed to let her help with treating the epidemic."
Xiao Zimo didn't say anything further, pushing the wheelchair away.
Liu Yan glanced at Yuan Zhan, feeling a bit awkward, and took a step back, "Young Master Yuan, I'm sorry, Xiao... Sister just played a joke on you."
Yuan Zhan, the rough man, rarely blushed, and since he had just admitted it, he decided not to hide it anymore.
"Miss Liu, I wasn't joking earlier. I do like you, and I don't... need you to like me back, I just... you know, that's enough..."
Yuan Zhan stammered, feeling awkward, and left, but accidentally kicked a stone at the door, almost stumbling.
Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh at his funny appearance.
...
Xiao Han went to the isolation shed to record the situation of the patients inside.
Now, there were only a dozen or so people left who hadn't recovered, and each person's condition was gradually improving.
Xiao Han stared at the medical records on the table, lost in thought.
It had been over a month since she came to Lianhua Village.
But her sister Li hadn't come yet, would they be looking for her outside?
There were only a little over two months left before they had to go back.
Would she be able to get the drawing in Xiao Zimo's hands?
Xiao Han absentmindedly wrote and drew on the blank paper with a brush.
But when she snapped out of it, she found that she had written "Xiao Zimo" on the paper!
"Oh my god! Am I going crazy?" Xiao Han snapped back to reality and quickly crumpled the paper, throwing it on the table!
Just as she finished, Xiao Zimo pushed his wheelchair over to her.
Xiao Han immediately sat up straight, feeling a bit awkward as she looked at him.
Xiao Zimo also looked at her, not saying a word.
Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, Xiao Han spoke up confidently, "Why are you staring at me like that? Although I concealed my gender, I haven't done anything to wrong you! For over a month, I have been diligently helping you treat patients and saving lives, all while hiding my gender. Isn't it difficult for me?"
Seeing her speak so much, Xiao Zimo finally let go of the worry he had been carrying about Xiao Han being offended by his unintentional actions.
"I'm sorry..." Xiao Zimo apologized.
Xiao Han was taken aback, not expecting Xiao Zimo to apologize.
"Yesterday... I offended you, Miss Xiao, I'm very sorry," Xiao Zimo apologized again.
"Oh, forget about it, I didn't take it to heart!" Xiao Han waved her hand.
"Then... your name is Xiao Han?"
"Yes, besides my gender, I haven't lied to you about anything else! Most people here tend to discriminate against women, so I did it for convenience!"
"Are you here in Lianhua Village for this?" Xiao Zimo took out a treasure map from his pocket.
Seeing Xiao Han remain silent, Xiao Zimo continued, "Last night, weren't you looking for it on me? I saw you near the Yellow Horn Tree."
Xiao Han stood up, no longer hiding, "Yes, I did want to get the treasure map! What conditions do you have? Just say it!"
Xiao Zimo put away the treasure map and calmly said, "Miss Xiao, I only hope that you can fulfill your promise. If you are willing to marry me, then I will give you this treasure map."
"What promise?" Xiao Han asked, puzzled.
Looking into her eyes, Xiao Zimo said word by word, "You said, if you were a girl, you would marry me."
