Chapter 248 - So from now on, she would have to say good-bye to her beloved spicy hot pot? (2)
By the time Bei Nuan tearfully finished her healthy meal, it was already dark outside.
There were four guys. Two of them would sleep in the bigger bedroom, and they put out bedding in the living room for the other two. Bei Nuan would sleep in the smaller bedroom.
The night was too dark and quiet. They couldn't keep using the rumbling generator. They lit the scented candles issued by the base.
When Bei Nuan went to her room, Lu Xingchi followed after her, put a candle down on the bedside table, and closed the door behind him.
Bei Nuan sniffed like a puppy and followed the smell to the bedside table. She immediately felt extremely pained. The candle he brought with him actually smelled like meat!
Who had the awful taste to make candles with this kind of scent?
The candle smelled salty and fragrant as if someone was frying bacon and smoking ham. Bei Nuan, who only had boiled chicken breast for dinner, wanted to bite the candle.
While Bei Nuan was holding the candle and drooling, Lu Xingchi came over and sat down on the edge of her bed.
"What happened with your surgery? You were so evasive about it."
Bei Nuan thought; she had a guilty conscience because the surgery had happened on a different body and Lu Xingchi was able to sense something was off.
Sure enough, she couldn't hide the truth from him.
"I wasn't being evasive. I just didn't want you guys to know." Bei Nuan also sat down and looked him in the eyes, trying to keep her words as close to the truth as possible.
There was something wrong with her heart at birth. When she was very young, the doctor had detected that she had ventricular and atrial septal defect and said surgery was necessary. Otherwise, she wouldn't live for long.
Her parents had been willing to sacrifice everything and borrowed a lot of money so that she could have heart surgery. She was only three when she had the surgery and didn't remember much about it. She only remembered being in a lot of pain and having to take medicine for a long time.
"Are there times when you don't feel well?" Lu Xingchi asked.
"I'm fine," Bei Nuan answered.
Actually, she hadn't been fine.
Many people recovered well after surgery and wouldn't be much different from those born with normal hearts, but she wasn't one of them.
Her body had always been weak. She would easily tire and get sick. Her physique was much worse than others. Whenever she had to strenuously exercise, she felt like she was dying.
For her to live this long, every extra day felt like a miracle.
Everyone thought her current body with its thin arms and legs was very fragile, but she knew that this body was much stronger than her original one. This new body was healthy enough that she could quickly walk up six flights without panting.
Lu Xingchi silently looked at her.
"Actually, it isn't all bad. My dad told the school about it, so I never had to run 800 meters in gym class or participate in sport competitions. The other girls were so envious of me," Bei Nuan was quite proud as she said, "My only regret is that there are certain super delicious foods I can't eat."
When her dad was alive, he was very strict about her diet. She wasn't allowed to eat any spicy or deep fried food, which made Bei Nuan all the more greedy for them. She would secretly eat those foods.
After her dad died, when there was no one that would control what she ate, she strictly controlled herself until she transmigrated here.
With this healthy body, she could eat whatever she wanted. It was heaven.
Bei Nuan quickly added, "But I'm fully recovered now. I can eat anything! Really! No problem at all!" She was worried that Lu Xingchi would restrict what she could eat.
Lu Xingchi couldn't hold back his smile. He reached out to hold her hand.
Bei Nuan did her best to fight for her rights. "I'm really okay. Even my close friend said she can't tell that I had congenital heart disease. If she hadn't seen that big scar on my chest…"
Bei Nuan suddenly stopped talking. She felt so regretful.
"Big scar?" Lu Xingchi stared at her and asked.
She couldn't take back the words that had slipped out. She could only brace herself and continued to say, "I have a long scar on my chest from the open-heart surgery."
The scar was long, ugly, and in the middle of her chest. The scar started a few centimeters below her collarbone and extended down to her chest. It was as if a knife had split her in half.
Because of this scar, she couldn't wear any clothes with a slightly lower neckline, much less any low-cut tops.
However, this body didn't have that scar.
