Looking at Ling Feng covered in blood, Chen Ningxue said, "Let's go to the hospital, you need to get those injuries dressed quickly!"
Ling Feng looked at his wounds and said, "It's nothing, these minor injuries aren't worth a hospital visit; I can just clean and dress them myself!"
Chen Ningxue bit her lip and said, "If you really don't want to go to the hospital, I... I'll help you dress your wounds!"
"You?" Ling Feng looked at Chen Ningxue skeptically and said, "Are you up for it?"
Chen Ningxue replied indignantly, "Don't underestimate me! After all, I am a woman who has been on the battlefield!"
After a pause, Chen Ningxue said, "You're not planning to go back , are you? Have you thought about how distressed Ting Yu would be if she saw you in this state?"
Ling Feng froze. Indeed, although his injuries were not severe, he did look a little wretched. If Liu Tingyu were to see him , she would definitely be heartbroken and worried. He should clean off the blood as soon as possible.
"Alright, where do we go?" Ling Feng asked.
A faint smile appeared on Chen Ningxue's face, "I have a small courtyard here in Yanjing called Qingxin Xiaozhu. Let's go there!"
Ling Feng nodded and then rode his motorcycle with Chen Ningxue toward the location she mentioned.
Given Ling Feng's current state, it was fortunate that he had this motorcycle. Otherwise, taking a taxi might mean that the rumors about him and Chen Ningxue would be flying by tomorrow.
Sitting behind Ling Feng, although his body carried the strong smell of blood, there was not a trace of discomfort on Chen Ningxue's face. Instead, her eyes revealed a hint of infatuation!
From their encounter on the airplane to Ling Feng's continual rescues, Chen Ningxue lost count of how many times Ling Feng had saved her! Previously, she had asked Ling Feng to be her fake boyfriend, but was it not also to fulfill her own small wish deep down in her heart?
"What a pity, I didn't hold onto you then, and now you're already Ting Yu's boyfriend!" Chen Ningxue sighed, her eyes full of sadness. Of course, she wouldn't do anything as disgraceful as stealing someone else's boyfriend, let alone someone who adored her as a young fan!
"Oh well, it's hard to find a three-legged toad, but men with two legs are abundant!" Chen Ningxue hypnotized herself, "I, Chen Ningxue, will surely meet someone more suitable in the future... "
But no sooner had this thought crossed her mind, she recalled the scene when Ling Feng had protected her with his body during the explosion.
"Ah, what am I supposed to do now!" Chen Ningxue felt deflated. There were plenty of men with two legs, but none that could compare to Ling Feng! Follow current novels on NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
While Chen Ningxue was lost in her thoughts, Ling Feng had already brought her to the address she had mentioned.
Looking at the small courtyard in front of them, Ling Feng turned and said, "Ningxue, we've arrived, is this the place?"
"Ah?" Chen Ningxue was surprised, "We're here? Yes, this is it!"
Chen Ningxue's face reddened as she quickly got off the bike and walked to the door, placing her palm on the sensor.
This small courtyard was Chen Ningxue's secret base. Whenever she felt down or stressed from work, she would escape here. In this place, she could let out her emotions freely, without caring about anyone's judgement, making it her most private sanctuary. This was the first time she had brought a stranger here, not to mention a man!
After the fingerprint and facial recognition systems verified her identity, the door to the courtyard opened.
"Wow, this is pretty advanced!" Ling Feng said as he followed Chen Ningxue into the courtyard.
Upon entering, Ling Feng's face held a hint of surprise; the courtyard, though small, was filled with a variety of plants. The flowers in the corner were budding, and the whole courtyard was teeming with vitality.
"Did you plant all these?" Ling Feng asked, amazed.
Chen Ningxue nodded and said, "Yes, I actually enjoy tending to flowers and plants. Whenever I spend time with them, my mood becomes very calm, and all my troubles seem to disappear!"
"When do you have the time for this?" Ling Feng asked, "Aren't you artists always busy?"
"It's quite hectic!" said Chen Ningxue, "But not so busy that I don't have time for gardening! Besides, I'm just a singer. Most of my time is spent in creative composition. I'm not like those entertainment stars who fly all over the country. I'm only busy when a new album is being released!"
As they talked, Chen Ningxue opened the door to the small attic: "Ling Feng, come in and wash up. I'll help you dress your wounds in the meantime."
Ling Feng didn't put on airs; it would be foolish and insensitive to act reserved now.
After stepping into the bathroom, Ling Feng hurriedly took off his sticky, bloodstained clothes. Wearing them felt truly uncomfortable.
But then, Chen Ningxue suddenly realized, "Oh no... I don't have any men's clothes here! What will Ling Feng do after his shower..."
At that thought, Chen Ningxue felt helpless. Ling Feng was the first man to come to Qingxin Xiaozhu, so naturally, she had never prepped men's clothes in advance. In fact, Chen Ningxue had never imagined there would come a day when a man visited her secret sanctuary!
There was no choice but to go shopping now!
