âI just said I would support you, not marry you.â Lu Bai scorned with his back to her.
âYou are really pathetic; it was just a joke. Anyway, thank you for today!â Yan Se shot him a glance.
If it were not for him steering the car into the guardrail while guarding her head and upper body, the truck would have hit them head-on and she would not just walk away with a simple concussion.
âYouâre welcome.â
The doctor and nurses had left after checking on them, and now, there were only two of them in the ward.
They were supposed to sleep but Yan Se could not because the anesthetic had lapsed. She felt extremely uncomfortable because she could not roll her body with her plastered leg raised.
âLu Bai...â She suddenly switched the bedside lamp on. âI need to go to the toilet.â
Lu Bai sat up and looked at her right leg.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yan Se was instantly anxious. âDonât look me like this. Itâs just the call of nature!â
âI...â Lu Bai looked hesitant. âItâs not that I donât want to help, but how?â
âCarry me up.â
âWith only one hand? Please donât overestimate me by underestimating your weight. Iâd better call the nurses.â He raised his hand to press the bell while speaking. He would request to be transferred to another room tomorrow as this woman was troublesome.
âYou are quite the gentleman. I am only going to the toilet, not molesting you.â Yan Se chuckled. But when the lipstick in the car came to mind, she found it hard to smile.
Soon, two nurses came to help her answer the call of nature.
When she was finally back in her bed, Lu Bai had fallen asleep. She felt extremely uncomfortable with bandages all over her body and only fell asleep around twilight.
In her sleep, she seemed to hear Lu Bai speaking.
âPlease get me a new ward. Iâm sorry for the trouble.â Lu Bai was heard saying to the nurse on morning duty.
âNo!â
The two of them turned to look at Yan Se, who slowly opened her eyes and firmly shook her head.
âLu Bai, how could you abandon me?â
There was a purpose that they were arranged in the same ward. After all, it was not safe for Lu Bai to be alone and they could watch each otherâs back by staying together. Even if she agreed, her boss would necessarily not.
âWhy not? You are a woman and I am a man.â Lu Bai pinched his forehead helplessly. He used to stay alone and but now, he felt it very uncomfortable to see a woman in the same room as he was every time he woke up.
âNurse, could you please give us a private moment? My boyfriend and I need to have a little chat; he is a little ruffled today,â Yan Se said humorlessly.
âOf course.â The nurse nodded and left.
âPlease mind your language; since when have I become your boyfriend?â Leaning on the headboard, Lu Bai shot her a look.
âNow.â Yan Se could not help but yawn before continuing. âWe stay together to watch each otherâs back if things go wrong. Whatâs more, I have promised your wife to protect you.â
âAre you sure you can protect me right now?â He glanced at her, lest she forgot that she was the one pleading for help last night.
âYou have to understand; this is just temporary.â Yan Se looked at him with her big eyes, which shed tears from the yawning earlier. âI will feel very insecure if you go.â
