“I just said I would support you, not marry you.” Lu Bai scorned with his back to her.
“You are really pathetic; it was just a joke. Anyway, thank you for today!” 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.
“You’re welcome.”
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.
“Lu Bai…” She suddenly switched the bedside lamp on. “I need to go to the toilet.”
Lu Bai sat up and looked at her right leg.
Yan Se was instantly anxious. “Don’t look me like this. It’s just the call of nature!”
“I…” Lu Bai looked hesitant. “It’s not that I don’t want to help, but how?”
“Carry me up.”
“With only one hand? Please don’t overestimate me by underestimating your weight. I’d better call the nurses.” 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.
“You are quite the gentleman. I am only going to the toilet, not molesting you.” 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.
“Please get me a new ward. I’m sorry for the trouble.” Lu Bai was heard saying to the nurse on morning duty.
“No!”
The two of them turned to look at Yan Se, who slowly opened her eyes and firmly shook her head.
“Lu Bai, how could you abandon me?”
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 other’s back by staying together. Even if she agreed, her boss would necessarily not.
“Why not? You are a woman and I am a man.” 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.
“Nurse, could you please give us a private moment? My boyfriend and I need to have a little chat; he is a little ruffled today,” Yan Se said humorlessly.
“Of course.” The nurse nodded and left.
“Please mind your language; since when have I become your boyfriend?” Leaning on the headboard, Lu Bai shot her a look.
“Now.” Yan Se could not help but yawn before continuing. “We stay together to watch each other’s back if things go wrong. What’s more, I have promised your wife to protect you.”
“Are you sure you can protect me right now?” He glanced at her, lest she forgot that she was the one pleading for help last night.
“You have to understand; this is just temporary.” Yan Se looked at him with her big eyes, which shed tears from the yawning earlier. “I will feel very insecure if you go.”
