Du Juanjuan felt that she had lost face in front of Yang Peimin, and in her haste, she swiftly withdrew her hand but then elbowed a teapot on the table beside her, knocking it over with a clang. The water inside spilled out, and it was boiling water at that. Du Juanjuan screamed and leapt away.
The hospital room was immediately in disarray, and just then a nurse happened to be passing by outside the door. She came in to ask what had happened.
Yang Peimin was speechless.
But there was no need for explanation; one look was enough to reveal the awkward scene of Du Juanjuan trying to dodge the hot water and knocking the table askew. The nurse frowned and said, "What's going on here? Patients need peace and quiet."
By now, Du Juanjuan had regained her composure, lifted her chin, and looked back at the nurse irritably, "It was just a little accident, what's with all the fuss?"
The nurse muttered, "This isn't the first time."
