Huang Shiyu said that there was no need to go to the hospital. She was a rough person and not that delicate. She could go home and handle it herself. She had medicine at home.

Xia Xi disagreed. He sped up to measure the remaining spaces and drove Huang Shiyu to the hospital.

"Sister Xi, are you injured too?" Huang Shiyu grabbed the edge of the chair, not wanting to look at the nurse cleaning the wound. His mouth was tightly pursed, and his words seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Xia Xi stood aside, putting a hand on her shoulder: "Mine is fine, just a minor injury."

After leaving the hospital, it was almost time to get off work, but Xia Xi did not go back to the company and directly sent Huang Shiyu home.

Huang Shiyu felt embarrassed to bother her: "Just take me to the subway station."

"Your legs must not be squeezed." The car did not stop when passing the subway station. Xia Xi glanced at her and said seriously, "You may not feel anything now, but after a while, you may have trouble walking. Your knee is injured and there are joints. Every step you take will pull the wound. Why don't you take two days off and have a good rest?"

"No, no, it's not that serious." Huang Shiyu quickly shook his head.

Xia Xi didn't try to persuade her: "You decide for yourself."

Today it was Xu Yanfeng who picked up the children again, but he met Xia Xi in the parking lot.

Before getting out of the car, Xu Yanfeng noticed Xia Xi's car slowly driving over and parking in the adjacent parking space.

Xu Yanfeng got out of the car first and stood beside it waiting for her. Before he saw her, his eyes were already raised.

Xia Xi came down with her bag and locked the car. The next second, two small figures rushed over.

"Mother!"

Xia Xi forgot about her injury and hugged them with a smile. She didn't know whether it was Ziheng or Youyou who bumped into her leg, but the sudden pain made her expression change.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Ziheng took a step back and looked up at her and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing the noise, Xu Yanfeng walked over, pulled up one of her arms, looked her up and down, and finally, his eyes fixed on her calves.

Xia Xi was wearing a pair of light-colored pants today. There was an obvious black and gray stain on her calf, which seemed impossible to remove no matter how hard she tried.

Xu Yanfeng's mouth tightened for a moment, and he pointed at that spot and asked her seriously, "How did you do that?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Xia Xi confessed, "I took on a new project. Today, I went to the site to measure some data. I didn't pay attention and fell." Seeing Xu Yanfeng's frown, she didn't know why she had to explain. She just blurted out, "It's just a little scrape. It's not serious. Don't make it seem like I'm dying."

“…”

Xu Yanfeng was furious. He snatched the bag from her hand and handed it to Ziheng.

This was the first time that Ziheng cooperated with him so well, and he held Xia Xi's bag in his arms without saying a word.

Xia Xi blinked before she understood what Xu Yanfeng meant by this action. At that moment, Xu Yanfeng bent down slightly and picked her up sideways. Xia Xi's legs hung in his arms. She was stunned for two seconds and then anxiously said, "What are you doing? I told you I'm fine."

It was just a minor injury, she shouldn't be unable to walk. Besides, she drove the car back, which was enough to prove that she was fine. He was just making a big deal out of nothing!

But Xu Yanfeng didn't intend to listen to her at all: "Don't move, you will be in trouble if you fall down again."

Youyou ran forward quickly with great foresight and pressed the elevator button.

Xu Yanfeng carried Xia Xi in, and the two children followed obediently.

After entering the house, Aunt Zhang was stunned when she saw this scene. She wanted to ask what happened to Xia Xi, but she felt that it would be redundant for her to speak at this moment, so she did not say anything.

Xu Yanfeng placed Xia Xi on the sofa, knelt beside her, and slowly pulled up the stained trouser leg, revealing the wound on her calf. Xia Xi had dealt with it carelessly, wiping it twice, slapping a Band-Aid on it, and leaving it alone. Blood stained the Band-Aid, leaving one spot slightly darker.

"Look, I said it was okay. Do you think I was lying to you?" Xia Xi pursed her lips, as if feeling helpless. "I think the wounds have healed."

"Stop talking."

“…”

Xu Yanfeng gently peeled off the Band-Aid and saw the wound's true appearance. It wasn't serious at all, the skin had peeled off. His breathing stagnated, and he said "Don't move" and stood up to find the medicine box.

Xia Xi sat there with his hands on both sides of his body and his injured leg flat on the sofa.

Not long after, Xu Yanfeng came over and without saying a word, he washed the wound on her leg with hydrogen peroxide, and then applied iodine on it with a cotton ball. The wound was a little painful due to the stimulation of the medicine. Xia Xi tightened her cheeks and her fingers gripped the pillow on the sofa.

Xu Yanfeng noticed her little movement, leaned over slightly, and blew on her.

The warm breath brushed across the wound on her leg, but it didn't relieve much. Xia Xi's fingers gripped tighter, her scalp numb. She lowered her eyes, watching the scene so close to her, and swallowed subconsciously.

Xu Yanfeng blew for a long time, and then he raised his eyes. Their gazes met, and the atmosphere inexplicably became sticky at this moment. He forgot what he was going to say and looked at her steadily.

The hand resting on the edge of the sofa moved, moved up an inch, and held her soft hand. Seeing that she had no intention of struggling, he tightened his grip.

"Mom, does it hurt?"

Ziheng's clear voice suddenly interrupted and broke the charming atmosphere.

Xia Xi's eyes flashed with an awkward emotion. She silently pulled her hand out of Xu Yanfeng's. Her palms were sweaty. She rubbed them against the pillow, curled the corners of her lips, and replied to Ziheng: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

Ziheng: "Mom, are you thirsty? I'll get you some water."
