"Are you okay?" Without caring about his own aching back, he looked nervously at the girl in his arms, "Did you get hit anywhere?"
"No, I... I'm fine." Gu Lingling hurriedly shook her head.
Yang Yunhai told Gu Lingling to sit in the car and not move, while he got out with a dark face, looking at the mother and child by the roadside, "Do you know it's dangerous to suddenly dash out like that?"
"I... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." The woman hugged her child tightly, clearly taken aback.
If it hadn't been for this person's quick reaction, she and her son might have been crushed under the car.
But who could they blame for not watching the road and suddenly running out from the woods?
"Are you okay?" Yang Yunhai asked, suppressing the anger in his heart.
"No... nothing." The woman apologized while holding her child, "Thank you so much earlier, if it weren't for you, my child and I..."
Before she could finish, Yang Yunhai interrupted, "Be more careful when you walk in the future."
It wasn't until he got back in the car and saw the little girl with her big, bright eyes that Yang Yunhai truly felt relieved.
She's okay, and that's all that matters.
It was instinctive for him to protect Gu Lingling just moments ago.
"Are you really okay?" Yang Yunhai asked.
"I'm fine." Gu Lingling shook her head foolishly.
So just now, was it Yang Yunhai who saved her again?
"Did you hurt your back?" She seemed to hear a collision and a muffled grunt just now; it must have been painful.
"I'm fine." Compared to the injuries during missions, the pain in his back was nothing. Telling her would only make the little girl worry, so it was better not to mention it.
However, when Zhao Yu saw the injury, he scolded him again, "Do you think you're indestructible? I'm telling you, Yang Yunhai, if you keep this up, I won't treat you anymore."
He just wouldn't listen to the doctor's orders. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs NoveI[F]ire.net
The injuries from before had just healed, and now there's this one; his back was all bruised.
What use does he have for a doctor at this rate?
If he thought he was so tough, he could suffer without bothering him for help.
"I heard Zhou Hong wants to apply to come here," Yang Yunhai said plainly, "I'm sure the hospital would welcome someone with her talents."
Gu Lingling lay in bed by herself, unable to fall asleep.
Under the covers, she kept thinking about what happened in the car but couldn't make sense of it.
Was Yang Yunhai worried and caring for her?
It didn't make any sense at all.
Gu Lingling couldn't figure it out, so she could only conclude that he felt sorry for her.
Thinking about it, it made sense. In her past life, she'd only met Yang Yunhai a few times in the village, and he helped her just because he recognized her. In this life, when she thought about it carefully, they actually had quite a few interactions.
Without mentioning anything else, hadn't she made him some cured meat today? And in a few days, she was going to make him some pickled vegetables, too? If she got hurt, wouldn't those vegetables go to waste?
Uh... If she thought about it like that, did it mean she wasn't even as good as those pickled vegetables?
Gu Lingling shook her head and sighed under the covers, even rolling around a bit.
Anyway, as Gu Juan stayed in the room next to Gu Haojun's, the big bed was hers alone, and she could roll around as much as she wanted.
What Gu Lingling didn't know was that she wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep that night; even Yang Yunhai, lying on his bed, was also sleepless.
Another thing they had in common was that they both had a strange dream that night.
The protagonists in the dream were each other.
