Lu Jinghan got out of bed and looked at Han Xi’s injured wrist, his brows furrowed tight enough to squash a fly: "Does it hurt a lot? Wait here, I’ll call the doctor right away."
Han Xi tugged at Lu Jinghan’s fingers: "Don’t go... there’s actually no need to call the doctor, I just accidentally strained it earlier. I’m hungry, so hungry."
Perhaps still not recovered from yesterday’s terror, Han Xi didn’t want Lu Jinghan to leave her side even for a moment.
It seemed like only when he was there could her heart feel at ease.
Though Han Xi said so, Lu Jinghan was still a bit worried: "I will stay here with you. I’ll ask Jiang Dachuan to get the doctor."
Lu Jinghan glanced at the watch on his wrist: "Sister Zhang should already be on her way."
Opening the ward’s door, Lu Jinghan instructed Jiang Dachuan to call the doctor, and Sister Zhang followed him inside.
Lu Jinghan took a warm towel from the bathroom, carefully helping Han Xi clean up before picking up the soup prepared by Sister Zhang to feed Han Xi.
Maybe she was too hungry; Han Xi ate a lot and accidentally got some rice on the corner of her mouth. With a gentle smile, Lu Jinghan leaned over and used his lips to eat the grain from the corner of Han Xi’s mouth.
The sensitive touch made Han Xi’s face instantly turn crimson. She whispered softly into Lu Jinghan’s ear, only loud enough for two people to hear: "What are you doing? Sister Zhang is still here."
Lu Jinghan raised an eyebrow, unfazed: "Helping you eat the grain off the corner of your mouth. Can’t waste food."
"......." Clearly taking advantage, yet can’t waste food...
This guy sure has the nerve to say that.
Han Xi secretly glanced in Sister Zhang’s direction, and coincidentally locked eyes with her.
Just like being caught by a parent or teacher in high school when dating.
Han Xi’s small face burned fiery red, feeling as though it might catch fire.
"Sir, Madam, please continue eating. I have something to attend to so I’ll be going out for a bit."
Sister Zhang wisely rose to leave, feeling full from this display of affection even without eating.
Watching the ward door close again, Han Xi finally grumbled: "Lu Jinghan, can you not do that when others are around? It’s so embarrassing."
"Mrs. Lu, you’d better get used to it quickly, because from today, I don’t plan on holding back."
Han Xi was somewhat confused by his meaning.
Lu Jinghan’s dark eyes brimmed with deep emotion like the sea. He leaned down, pressing his forehead against Han Xi’s, their noses brushing lightly: "From now on, no matter where or how many people are around, if I want to kiss, I will."
Lu Jinghan’s magnetic voice mingled with heated breaths washed over Han Xi’s still flushed face, filling her ears with the sound of her own heartbeat.
"Can we... just do this when it’s only the two of us?"
"No, I’m the one who decides this." Lu Jinghan’s domineering voice carried an unquestionable tone.
Han Xi’s bed was elevated slightly, positioning her halfway between sitting and lying down.
Lu Jinghan’s fingers gently caressed Han Xi’s cheek, his lips unhesitatingly pressed against hers, and he wished he could really take her now.
Once he touched Han Xi, Lu Jinghan acted like he was addicted, hopelessly unable to resist.
Standing at the door, Li Chenghao’s brooding eyes shone with deadly jealousy, and the sharp lines of his side profile tensed.
