Chapter 180: 【180】Senior Brother Comes to Care
“Alright, no need to fight over the work with her,” Kang Huizhu said to her with a chuckle.
After being injected, Wu Lixuan felt somewhat better but also a bit tired and lay down beside the bed. Xie Wanying adjusted her blanket for her, and when Kang Huizhu helped, she asked her, “They said you got injured?”
“It’s nothing, just a little abrasion on my hand,” Xie Wanying said.
Oh no, that was Senior Cao speaking up. Xie Wanying broke out in a slight sweat.
Kang Huizhu shot her a look: Go ahead and do it.
There’s no way around it, it’s Senior Cao speaking after all.
Turning around, Xie Wanying followed behind the two senior brothers.
Huang Zhilei intentionally slowed down to remind her, “You—better reflect properly later, understand?”
When they arrived at a secluded corner, Huang Zhilei walked away.
Xie Wanying approached alone and looked up.
Standing by the window, Cao Yong wore a dark blue sweater inside, and a gray cashmere overcoat outside, his authoritative aura and suave demeanor unmistakably present. His handsome profile was rigid against the window, his eyebrows furrowed.
It was obvious that Senior Cao wasn’t too pleased. Remembering Senior Brother Huang’s reminder, Xie Wanying took the initiative to reflect, “Senior, I know I made a mistake last night.”
It seemed he didn’t expect her to say this, and when Cao Yong turned back to look at her, his eyes flickered with surprise.
“What mistake?” Cao Yong asked.
Recalling the reactions of the teachers and senior brothers, Xie Wanying summarized, “I shouldn’t have made excuses to dodge the teacher’s questions.”
Huang Zhilei, who was listening from a distance, slapped his forehead: He had wasted his efforts educating his junior sister last night.
So her point is that she’s not smart enough to fool her seniors? Cao Yong quirked an eyebrow, and upon seeing her tilting her head as if she was seriously contemplating the issue, he managed to hold back his laughter—but then could no longer contain himself.
The laughter spilled from Senior Cao’s throat, and Xie Wanying wasn’t surprised at all; she had already sensed that Senior Cao was quite the cheerful person, and even more handsome when he laughed.
As he laughed, Cao Yong admitted to himself: He wasn’t that robot and couldn’t bring himself to do anything harsh to her. Criticize her? Forget it. After all, she had received enough lessons last night—his addition wouldn’t make a difference.
“Give me your hand,” Cao Yong said.
Xie Wanying obediently extended her injured hand for her senior to check.
After Cao Yong pulled up her sleeve and saw that the wound had indeed scabbed over, he asked, “Does your rib still hurt?”
Xie Wanying, who had wanted to say no, remembered last night’s lesson and dared not speak.
Seeing her expression, Cao Yong immediately understood and carefully pulled her sleeve back down, saying, “I will talk to your Senior Brother Huang later. He shouldn’t be treating girls like that.”
Clearly, Senior Cao was part of the Gentleman Faction. Xie Wanying breathed a sigh of relief internally.
“Let’s go, we’ll go have a meal,” Cao Yong said, casually taking her hand and walking outside.
Several steps forward, led by his hand, Xie Wanying finally reacted, “My friend is receiving an injection—”
“Are you saying you don’t trust the professional capabilities of our hospital? If she’s here getting an injection, there will definitely be someone responsible for monitoring her condition,” Cao Yong said with a professional tone.
Since Senior had spoken in this way, Xie Wanying could only add, “She hasn’t eaten yet.”
“We will bring her back some food when we go to eat.”
After a few back-and-forths, she was pulled out of the hospital. Looking back, she saw Senior Brother Huang hadn’t followed.
“Should we bring back food for Senior Brother Huang too? What does Senior Brother Huang eat?”
“You remember his words, how come you didn’t remember to call him to report the situation last night?”
