The Beautiful County Magistrate
Chapter 147: The Delicate Sister Sun Yan!

Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Delicate Sister Sun Yan!

"Hold on, just hold on," He Caixia said, clutching her chest as if to steady her thumping heart.

Xu Qianli took a long breath.

That day, he had risked his life driving a truck to the breach, but upon arrival, he fainted due to extreme exhaustion and wound infection caused by rain, oblivious to the specific situation at Qinglong Waist.

Now, knowing that Qinglong Waist was safe, the farmland and homes were preserved, he could finally rest easy.

Ge Pingping wiped her tears and came over.

"Xu Qianli, you bastard, you almost died from sickness, and the first thing you do upon waking up is to worry about Qingshan Town? Do you even care about yourself?"

"You were already injured and hadn’t fully recovered, then you braved the rain and rushed to Qingshan Town, risking your life and ending up with a severe illness. The doctor issued several critical condition notices, saying you were close to dying; you scared us to death."

"Why can’t you take care of yourself when you’ve barely made it through?"

"Don’t you ever think that if you were gone, someone would grieve for you for the rest of their life?"

"Wuuwuuwuu..."

As Ge Pingping spoke, she burst into tears, sobbing uncontrollably.

These past days, fearing that Xu Qianli was on the brink of death had terrified her, but she had held back her tears, not daring to cry.

Now that Xu Qianli’s fever had finally subsided and his condition had improved, she let herself weep openly.

Ding Meixin, Liu Qian, and He Caixia were also tearful as they looked at Xu Qianli, clearly shaken.

Especially Liu Qian, being a doctor, she was acutely aware of how serious Xu Qianli’s condition was.

He already had external injuries, and after being drenched in rain and fighting for his life on the riverbank for a whole day and night, his wounds became infected, the toxins spread throughout his body causing inflammation everywhere; it was a miracle he had survived.

Seeing this, Ge Changhong said, "Well, County Magistrate Lan, perhaps we should leave it at that for today and let young Xu rest. We can visit him another time?"

Lan Qianrong obviously understood Ge Changhong’s intention and gave Xu Qianli a meaningful glance before leaving the room together.

As soon as the two left, the women could no longer hold back, and they pounced on Xu Qianli, weeping even louder than before.

Xu Qianli wanted to console them but did not know how to do so effectively, and overtaken by another wave of fatigue, he drifted back to sleep.

When he awoke again, it was already the afternoon. Ding Meixin, Liu Qian, Ge Pingping, and He Caixia were no longer there, but Sun Yan was in the hospital room.

Seeing Xu Qianli awake, Sun Yan gave him a very gentle smile. "You’re awake."

"Sun Yan, why are you here?" asked Xu Qianli.

"Are you wondering where your several ’beauties’ have gone?"

"They have been watching over you for days, and they are completely exhausted. Since you woke up this morning and seemed out of danger, they couldn’t hold up any longer, so I told them to go home and rest."

"As for me, I’m off today, so I’ll stay and take care of you."

"What, not happy about it?"

"Are you thinking that I’m old and not as attractive as those young and beautiful girls you like?"

Xu Qianli said, "Not at all, how can you be old, Sun Yan? You’re a mature beauty willing to look after me; I couldn’t be happier. I’ve suddenly realized that over this period, Sun Yan, you seem to be getting more and more beautiful."

While talking, Xu Qianli gazed intently at Sun Yan.

True to his words, since her divorce, Sun Yan had become more beautiful with each passing day.

Sun Yan scolded with a laugh, "You, you’re just a smooth talker, always saying things women like to hear, no wonder so many beautiful women are into you. Save that sweet talk for someone else, I’m not buying it. Alright, enough of that nonsense. You’ve just woken up, you must be thirsty, let me get you some water to drink."

"No, I’m not thirsty. I need to use the bathroom, I’m really bursting here."

Xu Qianli, with an urgent need to urinate, tried to get out of bed but had very little strength. He nearly fell off the bed with his movement.

"Hey, be careful!"

Sun Yan quickly stepped forward to help, and Xu Qianli leaned into her warm embrace.

It was a hot day, and Sun Yan was wearing very little. Her chest flushed red with embarrassment as Xu Qianli’s head brushed against it, but she did not push him away and allowed him to lean on her.

Feeling the softness of Sun Yan and smelling her pleasant scent, Xu Qianli couldn’t but reminisce about that passionate night with her. Subconsciously, he tightened his hold on her slender waist. "Sun Yan, I..."

A finger pressed against Xu Qianli’s lips, and Sun Yan said coquettishly, "Alright, no need to say anything. I know what’s on your mind. When you’re better, we can have another drink together."

After she spoke, Sun Yan’s heart trembled, and her cheeks were already burning with shame.

How annoying, she had clearly decided to cut ties with Xu Qianli and not let anything happen between them again, yet today, seeing him pitiful, she relented.

Talking about having a drink, she knew very well what that implied, and surely the young man was crystal clear about it too.

Xu Qianli certainly understood, and his hold on Sun Yan’s hand became even more reluctant to let go.

With a soft hum, Sun Yan said, "Okay, I’ve already agreed to let you take advantage later, so let go of my hand. I need to help you, or you’ll hurt yourself holding it in."

As soon as Xu Qianli let go of her hand, Sun Yan went to fetch a plastic urine bottle from the bathroom, busy with the task of removing Xu Qianli’s pants.

Xu Qianli quickly blocked it, "No, no, this isn’t right. Sun Yan, don’t bother, I can go to the bathroom myself. I’ll manage, really, you don’t need to help."

Sun Yan rolled her eyes, exasperatedly, at Xu Qianli.

"You rascal, there’s nothing I haven’t seen; why are you getting shy?"

"Move your hand, hurry up. With your condition, if you fell on the way to the bathroom, that would only make things worse."

"Be good, otherwise I’ll call a nurse you don’t know, and that will be even more embarrassing."

With that, Xu Qianli had no choice but to obediently retract his hand, allowing Sun Yan to help him, as a warm hand reached over...

Once he was done, the rest of Xu Qianli’s body went limp with weakness, yet he was incredibly animated, gazing at Sun Yan with wide-eyed longing.

It had to be said, Sun Yan was getting more beautiful by the day.

She was already lovely, but these days she seemed even more charming, especially now, with her cheeks blushing like a bashful peach, creating an even more endearing appearance that Xu Qianli simply couldn’t bring himself to look away from, fixating his stare on her.

He said nothing, but Sun Yan understood.

Hesitant but finally giving in at the sight of Xu Qianli’s expression, Sun Yan cursed silently at her fate, thinking she must have owed him in a past life. Fighting off her embarrassment, she slowly knelt down at his feet, pursed her rosy lips, and began to speak in a soft voice.

"Xu Qianli, close your eyes and don’t peek. If you dare to open your eyes, I’ll ignore you for the rest of your life!"

"Silly boy, what are you hesitating for? Hurry up and close your eyes."

Xu Qianli slowly closed his eyes, and the next second, he couldn’t help but let out a low cry, as Sun Yan pinched his leg, "Sun Yan, why are you pinching me?"

With a flirtatious roll of her eyes at Xu Qianli, she flicked her hand on his forehead before it landed on his waistband.

"Because you’re such a bad boy. Sick as you are, you still can’t stay still, overly spirited, just too much trouble."

"Okay, enough of that, I’ll help you with that thing. I’ve only seen it done on TV, so don’t blame me if I don’t do it well."
