Zhuang Baihua took Chi Yue in the car and the car drove away from Luo Mansion.
Zhuang Baihua looked at the bandage on Chi Yue's thigh, his lips tightly pursed, his expression serious and stern.
Chi Yue moved slightly, and Zhuang Baihua immediately asked nervously: "What's wrong? Does it hurt?"
Chi Yue actually smiled and said, "It's not that serious. I was just pretending."
He said to the driver in front of him: "No need to take me to the hospital, I'm fine."
Zhuang Baihua didn't care whether Chi Yue was pretending to be in pain or not. He saw the blood coming out of the wound and said, "No, check it out. What if the tendon is injured and he limps in the future?"
Chi Yue continued to smile: "Don't worry, I won't be lame. No matter what happens, I will be fine." Unless it is an injury that is destined to happen.
Zhuang Baihua thought, after losing so much blood, how can you say you're okay
Zhuang Baihua thought Chi Yue was being polite, but he also knew that Chi Yue was the protagonist of the original book and had the aura of a protagonist. Normally, she wouldn't be in fatal danger, but it was heartbreaking to see her suffer some other injuries.
Last time it was the hands, this time it was the legs, and each time it bled. Zhuang Baihua vaguely sensed something and frowned silently.
Even though Chi Yue kept saying that there was no need to go to the hospital, Zhuang Baihua still took him to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up. Only after making sure that he was not seriously injured did he let the matter go.
Next, Zhuang Baihua wanted to bring Chi Yue to live at home and take care of him.
Chi Yue was shocked: "I'm not disabled. I'll be fine in a couple of days. It's not a big deal."
This time Zhuang Baihua was very firm: "No, if this deep wound doesn't heal, it will only leave a hole on my leg."
"So what if a grown man has scars on his body? It doesn't matter." Chi Yue said nonchalantly.
Chi Yue was indeed in much better shape after leaving Luo Mansion, but Zhuang Baihua couldn't stand his perfunctory attitude and insisted on taking him away.
Chi Yue was unwilling to go: "No, I won't go."
Zhuang Baihua was confused: "Are you afraid of what I might do to you?"
Chi Yue lowered his head, and the hair on his head drooped down like a seedling that had lost water. After a while, he raised his head again, looked at Zhuang Baihua with his dark eyes, and said pitifully, "No... I'm not afraid of you, I'm really fine, just take me back to the dormitory."
Zhuang Baihua gradually discovered that Chi Yue would sometimes pretend to be pitiful, looking at people with a pair of black eyes, looking aggrieved, making it difficult for people to harden their hearts.
Zhuang Baihua was both angry and amused. She would rather pretend to be pitiful than go back with him. From the side, it can be seen that Chi Yue really had some difficulties.
Zhuang Baihua gave up and said, "Okay, I'll take you back to the dormitory."
Chi Yue instantly regained her spirits and said with a smile, "Mr. Zhuang, you are the best."
The driver drove to Chi Yue's school. When arriving at the gate, Zhuang Baihua asked his assistant to get out of the car to communicate. After a short wait, the vehicle was able to pass through the school gate smoothly.
When they arrived at the dormitory building, Chi Yue actually pushed open the car door and tried to hop out on one foot, which frightened Zhuang Baihua so much that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Zhuang Baihua gave him a reproachful look, then held out his hand to support him, letting him lean against his body. With their backs pressed against each other, Zhuang Baihua almost half-hugged Chi Yue as he helped her get out of the car.
Chi Yue recalled the soft yet firm touch and immediately regretted it. If she had known earlier, she should have continued to pretend to be weak and should not have acted as if nothing was wrong. Maybe Zhuang Baihua would have given her a princess hug.
It was too late to pretend now. Chi Yue waved to Zhuang Baihua and said, "Goodbye, Mr. Zhuang." Then he turned around and prepared to enter the dormitory building.
Zhuang Baihua asked him with a straight face: "How are you going to climb the stairs?"
Chi Yue said confidently, "Just dance."
Zhuang Baihua was almost mad at him, so he called the bodyguards to come over, and several people supported Chi Yue and carried him upstairs.
Chi Yue's feet were almost off the ground, like a patient who had lost the ability to take care of himself. He thought it would be better to let Zhuang Baihua hold him.
Because it was summer vacation, not many people stayed in school, and Chi Yue was the only one left in the dormitory. Chi Yue took out the key and opened the door, and Zhuang Baihua helped him walk in.
Chi Yue's dormitory was a very ordinary men's dormitory. It was not very tidy, but it was clean and there was not much dirt.
Fortunately, Chi Yue was sleeping on the lower bunk. Zhuang Baihua helped him to sit on the bed and asked the bodyguards to leave.
Chi Yue opened her eyes wide and asked him innocently, "Why don't you go back?"
Zhuang Baihua snorted, sat down next to him, and said, "Since you don't want to go home with me, then I will stay with you."
Chi Yue was stunned, and then joy filled her heart.
Although he kept saying that he wanted Zhuang Baihua to go back and was unwilling to go home with Zhuang Baihua, he still felt happy when he heard Zhuang Baihua say that he would stay.
Chi Yue was still stubborn: "Why are you staying here? We don't allow people to stay in the dormitories of our school."
Zhuang Baihua said calmly: "I just asked my assistant to take care of it."
"Aren't you usually the most well-behaved person?" Chi Yue said in a low voice, pursing her lips and suppressing the smile at the corners of her mouth.
Zhuang Baihua pretended not to understand: "Who told me to meet such a dishonest patient?"
Chi Yue finally smiled, her eyes curved, and her smile was like a flower bud about to bloom.
Zhuang Baihua felt relieved when he saw that he smiled sincerely.
When he went out today, Zhuang Baihua was mentally prepared that there might be some unexpected problems on this trip to Luo Mansion, but he did not expect Chi Yue to be injured.
He felt a little guilty. He was a time traveler and knew part of the plot of the original book. He shouldn't have been so careless and let Chi Yue get hurt.
Zhuang Baihua believes that what happened at the Jue Luo Mansion is also part of the plot of the original book, but he can never see through it and doesn't know what is behind it.
This restless feeling annoyed him.
He was annoyed that he had not protected Chi Yue well.
Chi Yue's legs were wrapped in white gauze, but she had a smile on her face, which made Zhuang Baihua feel even more distressed.
Such a sensible child, what grudge does the plot have against him that makes people always think of ways to torture him.
"You have suffered." said Zhuang Baihua.
Thinking about how Chi Yue's situation in the original book might have been even worse, Zhuang Baihua became upset and couldn't laugh at all.
Chi Yue observed his expression, smiled lightly and said, "It's not bitter at all." Because you are here.
For him, having Zhuang Baihua by his side was a brand new experience, and he enjoyed it very much.
Zhuang Baihua stroked Chi Yue's soft hair and said gently, "Take a nap. I'll be here with you."
Chi Yue did not try to drive Zhuang Baihua away again. She just sat there and refused to sleep.
Zhuang Baihua said strangely: "Can I help you lie down?"
Chi Yue looked at him with innocent eyes and said, "I want to take a shower."
Zhuang Baihua: “…”
Although part of it was fake, the pain was real. Chi Yue was sweating a lot, and it was summer, so her body was sticky. She really wanted to take a comfortable bath before going to bed.
Fortunately, the dormitory had an independent bathroom with hot water that could be used by swiping a card. Zhuang Baihua didn't say, "I'll help you in, and then you can wash yourself."
Chi Yue blinked and said, "It's inconvenient. I can't wash it myself."
… My leg is injured, not my hand, so why can’t I wash it
She just chased him away, but now she's become super clingy.
Zhuang Baihua felt that Chi Yue was like a kitten, sometimes arrogant and sometimes coquettish; he also felt that he was like a candy, sometimes sour and sometimes sweet.
Zhuang Baihua looked at him indulgently, stood up, took a small stool and put it in the toilet, then helped Chi Yue up, took him in and asked him to sit down.
Zhuang Baihua began to take off his clothes.
Chi Yue panicked for a moment and held down the hem of her shirt: "I can do it myself."
Chi Yue slowly took off her clothes and turned her fair and smooth back towards Zhuang Baihua.
The back in front of him was not as thin as Zhuang Baihua had thought. The thin muscles began to stretch under the smooth, young skin, covering the bones like a taut string.
In time, this thin pair of shoulders and back will be able to stand tall.
Seeing that Zhuang Baihua didn't move, Chi Yue felt a little annoyed. Her body was skinny and not very attractive at all. If she had known earlier, she should have exercised more often to look better.
It was quite urgent to treat the wound at that time, and the doctor directly cut open his trouser leg. Now that it was really time for him to take off his trousers, Chi Yue thought, how could there be no fluctuations at all
Then, he heard Zhuang Baihua say: "Is it inconvenient? Let me call my assistant in to help you."
Chi Yue: “…”
Is it that he has no charm, or is it that Zhuang Baihua is too unromantic.
Chi Yue turned her head and looked into Zhuang Baihua's clear eyes, which were filled with deep concern.
Chi Yue was slightly stunned, and instantly understood that Zhuang Baihua really had no bad intentions and was wholeheartedly worried about him.
Chi Yue sighed and said, "I can do it myself. I'm not unable to move."
Zhuang Baihua thought for a moment, found a plastic bag from the outside, tied it around Chi Yue's legs to block out the water droplets, and after making sure he was ready to take a shower, he handed him the shower head and walked out.
Chi Yue held the pompadour to her head, looked down at her teddy bear underwear, and thought to herself, there really is no ambiguous atmosphere at all, Zhuang Baihua is simply the most competent caregiver.
I'll submit my post to the straight man bot later.
After Chi Yue finished taking a shower, Zhuang Baihua opened the bathroom door a crack, handed clothes to Chi Yue, and waited for him to put them on before helping him out of the bathroom.
Zhuang Baihua really didn't leave. He arranged for Chi Yue to sleep on the bed and he also lay down on the bed opposite.
After turning off the lights, the dormitory became dark, but not completely black. The light from outside shone in, outlining hazy outlines of all objects.
Zhuang Baihua recalled the scenes in his school days. Whenever they turned off the lights and couldn't sleep, the students in the dormitory would start chatting in the dark.
They were all talking about meaningless topics, pure nonsense.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Chi Yue's voice floating over: "Is this your first time sleeping in such a shabby room?"
Zhuang Baihua laughed: "It's not like I haven't studied before. Dormitories are all like this."
"But didn't you graduate from the International Business School?"
Zhuang Baihua: “…” The original owner also had this setting.
"Anyway, I've lived in this kind of dormitory before." Zhuang Baihua didn't bother to think of an excuse and just said, "A few grown men squeezed together, it was smelly, it's not as clean as yours."
Chi Yue laughed softly, and her laughter echoed in the dark night.
"Then tell me about what happened back then. I want to hear it." Chi Yue said softly.
Zhuang Baihua began to recall the time when he went to the countryside to help. Of course, he embellished it a little, saying that his family asked him to go and experience rural life.
Zhuang Baihua told Chi Yue how the harvester harvested crops, and also how they went to the river to catch fish, and then built a bonfire on the shore to grill the fish. They accidentally burnt the fish, but it still smelled very delicious, and Chi Yue laughed non-stop.
Zhuang Baihua said: "Thinking back on those experiences now is quite interesting. What about you? Do you have any interesting memories?"
Chi Yue stopped laughing. He thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember clearly. It seems that I was not studying but working."
Chi Yue's voice was somewhat ethereal and sounded very far away. Zhuang Baihua comforted him: "I can take you to the countryside to play in the future."
"Okay." Chi Yue smiled again.
Zhuang Baihua asked softly, "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
"Then go to bed early."
"Well, good night."
It was late at night and all was quiet. Chi Yue opened her eyes and carefully turned over, facing the bed opposite. She could vaguely see the sleeping figure of Zhuang Baihua.
It really doesn't hurt. This kind of pain is nothing to him.
But he felt that he had become too squeamish. He had never taken any of the injuries he had received in the past seriously, as they were not fatal. But this time he hesitated.
Looking at the chair with the bottle opener hidden on it, he hesitated and was hesitant to sit down.
He never hesitated before.
Chi Yue stared at Zhuang Baihua opposite her, looking blankly.
It must be the influence this person had on him.
