Chapter 4

Shi Yu was extremely alert from the sixth floor all the way to the parking lot. He wanted to walk close to Yun Lin'ai's back and hide himself, but he seemed to be completely unaware of how close he was to the other person. He even stepped on the other person's shoe without noticing when entering the elevator.

"I'm sorry." He hurriedly took a step back, not daring to look at the gaze coming from the front.

The domineering temper on the first day was still vivid in Shi Yu's mind, and he knew very well that he could not afford to offend the other party at all.

Yun Lin'ai only gave him an unfriendly look, but said nothing, continuing to hide in the corner of the elevator. The crowd squeezed in again, and Yun Lin'ai's back was very close to him. In the cramped space, he could smell the other person's faint scent again.

This time it doesn't smell like moss after rain, but rather something close to the refreshing apple scent.

Every time he smelled it, he couldn't remember what pheromone it was. The answer was always on the verge of coming out but stuck there. If he asked the other party, it would seem very impolite, so Shi Yu only dared to secretly put his nose close to it and smell it curiously. Now that he got close to it and smelled it, it seemed that there was no smell of apple anymore.

But he had no idea that the elevator door was reflective. Yun Linai, relying on his height, could see every little movement behind him. Even though only half of his head was exposed, he could still tell the random movements of the person behind him.

After staring for a while, he calmly withdrew his gaze.

As soon as he walked out of the hospital gate, a cold wind blew, and Shi Yu shivered with cold. The wind and snow covered his face, and even his drooping hair was blown up high.

Just as Shi Yu was about to run to the parking lot, a piece of black cloth fell on his head, making his vision less clear.

Shi Yu was stunned for a moment. He wanted to look up, but someone pressed down his head through his clothes, causing him to shrink his shoulders awkwardly.

"Wear it."

A voice, neither near nor far away, was as clear as the wind and floated into his ears.

The two walked forward, one in front of the other. Shi Yu pulled his large black coat tighter, squinting his eyes as he walked in the snow, constantly checking for familiar faces. Seeing that the parking lot was not crowded, Shi Yu finally felt relieved. He looked around like a stray cat in a strange place. Yun Lin'ai finally couldn't help but say, "You're so talented, you're suitable to be a thief."

The Thief paused, then brought out the righteous thought that suddenly surged in his heart, "First of all, being a thief is wrong."

"Secondly, I'm just in case."

He muttered the second sentence quietly, but Yun Lin'ai still heard it. "Just in case of what?"

Just in case Yun Lin'ai sent him back, Shi Yu glanced at him and didn't dare to tell the truth, "Nothing."

Yun Lin'ai didn't want to care about what he was thinking. Both of them had snow on their heads, so he asked him to get in quickly and waited on the side, ready to get in the back seat.

"Lieutenant Yun?"

Hearing the voice, Shi Yu and Yun Lin'ai froze behind them. They had been on guard against it for so long, but it still came.

Yun Linai glanced at the Omega's stiff, unnatural back from the corner of his eye, then slammed the car door shut. He turned to the person approaching and said calmly, "Warden Zheng."

Even though he secretly disagreed with the young warden, he had to give him enough face on the surface. Zheng Xiao put on a fake smile and said, "Come to the hospital for treatment too?"

Yun Lin'ai nodded in agreement. Many people in the alliance were aware of his symptoms, and the doctor here was most familiar with him, so the other party had no doubts.

"I just saw someone else get in the car. Why didn't you come out and say hello?" Zheng Xiao remained upright, raising his hand and tapping on the privacy glass window. Yun Lin'ai wondered if the person inside would be frightened to death by the sound, but he remained calm. "A friend. He has a burn on his face, so I brought him along."

"No wonder they are unwilling to come out." Zheng Xiao had a smile on his face, appearing extremely deliberately friendly, and his expression of casual understanding made Yun Linai feel disgusted.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. Please say hello to your father for me." Zheng Xiao raised his hand and politely indicated that he didn't need the other party to see him off.

"Goodbye." Yun Lin'ai didn't move his feet at all, nor did he show any intention of seeing him off.

After all, he is the chairman's son. Although Zheng Xiao has some power, he is only a warden. His rank is higher than Yun Lin'ai, so he never dares to say anything.

Only after watching Zheng Xiao walk away did Yun Linai open the door and sit in.

As soon as he sat down, he silently looked at Shi Yu, who almost buried his head under the seat, "..."

Shi Yu only heard the sound of the car door opening and closing, and was not sure whether Zheng Xiao had completely left. In this short period of time, he even thought about running away quickly if he was discovered. Although he could not run far, it should be more than enough to bite one person.

The hat on his head was suddenly taken off. Shi Yu shuddered violently and turned back to glare at him with a very fierce and serious look.

Yun Linai paused for a moment, "Who are you going to kill?"

But then he saw the other person's eyes gradually softening when he realized it was him, like the frightened pupils of a stray cat suddenly dilated. Yun Lin'ai glanced at his head and saw no airplane ears.

"I thought it was someone else..." Shi Yu smelled the familiar scent before turning his head, but his eyes didn't change in a moment, leading to such an embarrassing situation now.

The other person was covered in snow. Shi Yu watched quietly for a while and felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, so he tried to make conversation and glanced at the empty driver's seat, "Who's driving?"

Yun Lin'ai then took his eyes off his head, took out the phone from his pocket and sent a message to Lu Yichuang.

[I'll give you four minutes. If you don't come, I'll drive away.]

The car belonged to Lu Yichuang, which meant that if he didn't drive with them, he would have to stop a car in the cold wind, and outside vehicles could only park outside Area 116.

I'm flying here.

Yun Lin'ai decisively put away his phone, leaned forward, and dug out a timer from the compartment between the two front seats. He tossed it to Shi Yu and said, "If you feel bored, count down to four minutes."

Although Shi Yu didn't understand what the other party meant, he still obediently set the timer to four minutes. For a while, the only sound in the car was the ticking of seconds. Three minutes passed, and Shi Yu still didn't understand what the other party meant, but he accidentally said, "It's still boring, what should I do?"

Yun Lin'ai glanced at him without saying a word, then caught a glimpse of a figure running towards him in the rearview mirror. His gaze shifted to the timer in Shi Yu's hand: three minutes and thirty-six seconds.

As soon as the driver's seat was opened, the figure who ran over suddenly sat back in his seat, turned around, grabbed the timer and pressed pause.

Lu Yichuan proudly shook the timer, which stopped at three minutes and fifty-eight seconds, his face full of pride, "A master who can run a thousand meters in three minutes and thirty seconds, with a perfect score."

Yunlin chuckled, "Such a huge step backward."

Lu Yichuang started the car and ran from the hospital's inpatient department to the parking lot, a full kilometer, without even taking a breath. Shi Yu's face was full of amazement.

"He's still injured. I just went to the inpatient department to see Lu Yan. He'll probably be discharged in two more days."

Yun Linai said suddenly: "How can someone with a knife wound stay in the hospital for so long?"

Shi Yu listened for a while and suddenly realized that Yun Lin'ai was shot but did not stay in the hospital for even a day. He didn't know how the dressings were changed during these few days.

"They're not as tough as you. Don't expect so much from the new soldiers."

Yun Lin'ai wasn't the type to meddle in other people's business, but since Lu Yan was Lu Yichuan's subordinate in the team, he couldn't help but pay more attention. Seeing the other party protecting his cousin, Yun Lin'ai was speechless and didn't want to talk. He turned his head and looked out the window.

Suddenly, he felt the gaze of the person next to him rest on him. Turning around, he saw Shi Yu staring intently at his left shoulder, wondering what he was thinking.

"What are you looking at?"

The other party still frowned, his mind full of a long passage in the book: How to treat gunshot wounds?

Four treatment methods are listed, but they are all aimed at stopping bleeding and disinfecting, and there is no explanation of the subsequent dressing.

"?" Yun Lin'ai continued to stare at the dazed person, and for the first time, his face was full of confusion.

After a long time, he heard the other person scratch his head, which was not very itchy, embarrassedly: "Can I see your wound?"

After hearing this, Lu Yichuang in the front row regretted why he didn't ask a driver to drive over so that he could see Yun Linai's wonderful and incredible expression.

"Need not."

I thought he wouldn't bother me again, but I didn't expect him to be so persistent this time. "Just one glance."

Seeing his raised finger dangling in front of his eyes, Yun Lin'ai abruptly looked away, his face slightly cracked, but fortunately no one noticed. "The doctor will come to our house this afternoon to change the dressing."

What it means is that you must not miss the opportunity to see the doctor and do practical training. Shi Yu's eyes lit up and he nodded gratefully to express his gratitude.

After Lu Yichuan dropped the two off at Yun Lin'ai's residence, he got out of the car and prepared to go in for a meal. He ignored Yun Lin'ai's cold and disdainful gaze and said, "Give me some charity. There's no aunt at home. You know my cooking skills."

It was a rare occasion that Yun Lin'ai didn't laugh at him. He felt a little uncomfortable for the first time. When he looked at him again, he found that he was already daydreaming. He didn't know what he was thinking about so deeply.

"What are you thinking about? Did you hear what I said?"

"I heard that your cooking skills are terrible."

Lu Yichuan didn't expect him to hear anything, so he said helplessly: "That was my last question. I asked you when you were going to visit Grandpa."

Yun Linai gradually regained his composure and said, "Next holiday."

Yun Lin'ai's grandfather moved to the suburbs after breaking up with the chairman ten years ago. Now he lives alone in such a large manor for retirement, which is quite comfortable. So every time Yun Lin'ai goes to visit him, the old man asks someone to live with him, away from the mentally ill chairman.

Lu Yichuan knew that the old man was talkative and liked to bully people. Yun Linai's temper was probably inherited from him. "Take me with you when you go."

"how?"

Lu Yichuan just gave a fake smile and said, "There's no place to eat."

"Are you blind and can't see the restaurant?" Yun Lin'ai stood up from beside him and kicked the other's leg that was lying between the sofa and the coffee table, without much force.

Lu Yichuan didn't feel any pain, but was very flattering. "The food at the manor is so delicious. I wish I could live there every day."

Lu Yichuang's parents passed away early, and Yun Lin'ai knew him when he was very young. His martial arts skills gradually improved, but his cooking skills became worse and worse, so Yun Lin'ai would take him with him every time he went to the old man's place.

Yun Linai strolled into the restaurant and naturally sat down in his usual seat.

Seeing these two people sitting face to face, Lu Yichuang always felt that Shi Yu had taken his previous seat, and sitting next to Yun Lin'ai made it seem like these two were isolating him, so he casually sat in the upper seat, between the two of them.

Aunt Wang had something to do at home, so she asked for leave and went home after cooking, leaving the three of them alone in the restaurant to eat.

Shi Yu still didn't eat much. An Omega's appetite is always much smaller than an Alpha's. In addition, his fever had just subsided, so he felt a little sleepy almost after finishing eating. Therefore, he put down his chopsticks before the two people in front of him were full.

"Are you done eating already?" Lu Yichuang looked up from his bowl and stared at him with wide eyes.

Shi Yu felt a little embarrassed to be looked at, he pursed his lips, "Hmm..."

"Doctor Jiang doesn't eat much either." Lu Yichuang murmured, as if he had caught something.

"Forget the idea of ​​sending food and don't poison them." Yun Lin'ai sneered.

After he finished speaking, he stood up and threw the bowl into the dishwasher. When he turned around, he suddenly stopped and almost bumped into Shi Yu who was following behind him. He saw that the other party was hesitant, with his slender neck slightly lowered. From his angle, it looked like a person willing to show his glands.

"What's the matter?" he asked first.

Shi Yu bit his lower lip several times before he murmured a few words, "What time in the afternoon..."

There were only two people standing in the kitchen. There was no other sound except the sound of the dishwasher running. Even though the other person's voice was low, Yun Lin'ai could hear it. He lowered his eyes and stared at the whorl of hair on the top of the person's head, wanting to smooth out the sticky hair.

"Three o'clock." Yun Linai said.

After getting the answer, the other party's eyes lit up instantly, and he said gratefully: "Thank you!"

After saying that, he turned around and ran away. Yunlin watched him walk into the room with his calves trembling.

"What are you two whispering about?"

Yun Linai shifted his gaze and saw Lu Yichuang holding an empty bowl, biting the end of his chopsticks, leaning against the kitchen door as if he was watching a fun event, with a gossipy expression on his face.

"Go back quickly after eating." Yun Lin'ai didn't want to talk to him, so he walked past him and went straight to the study.

Lu Yichuang became much more obedient after finishing his meal. He took the car keys and walked to the entrance. He was a little confused when he heard footsteps behind him, only to see Yun Lin'ai return to the living room and walk to the entrance, throwing something in his hand in front of him. Lu Yichuang took it reflexively, and it was a folder with a piece of paper in it.

"Doctor Jiang has transferred Team One's duty roster."

Although there were only a few words, it was like hearing heavenly music, and Lu Yichuang's face quickly turned happy.

"Lieutenant Yun, you've been a real help!" Lu Yichuan glanced at the duty roster and saw that Jiang Kuo was off this afternoon. He hurriedly put on his shoes and was about to leave. "You'll definitely be at Dr. Jiang and I's wedding!"

Yun Linai shook his head slightly, a hint of silence on his stern face. Returning to the study, he looked at the new mobile phone on the table and became distracted again.

Shi Yu slept quite well for the first time. There was nothing embarrassing in his dream. Even though there was still light snow outside the window, the faint sunlight shining through the tightly closed glass window onto the bed made him feel a little warm. His whole face was buried under the quilt. Maybe because it was too comfortable, he was about to turn over and sleep for a while.

It's just that his brain had turned on the computer in advance, and in a flash he seemed to have forgotten something. Shi Yu suddenly opened his eyes and stood up quickly, but fell back into bed due to hypoglycemia. He didn't care too much, supported his upper body to sit up, got out of bed, found his shoes and ran out of the room.

The two people sitting in the living room turned around after hearing the noise, especially Yun Lin'ai, who couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he saw that the other person's pajamas were hanging loosely and crookedly on his body, revealing a little bit of his collarbone.

"Sorry, I fell asleep. Have you changed the medicine?" Shi Yu pursed his dry lips and walked over stiffly.

Qin Yue held the cup in his hand but didn't bring it to his mouth. He glanced at Yun Linai who was sitting there, his expression unnatural, "Ah... not yet. I'm late too. I was so thirsty when I got here that I sat down and had a cup of tea first."

Shi Yu looked back and forth, his eyes uncontrollably glancing towards Yun Linai, "Really?"

Those eyes rolled around, trying to hide the joy in his heart.

Yun Lin'ai looked away and told Qin Yue, "Hurry up after you finish your tea."

In the end, I got a silent look from the other party, as if to say, "I don't know who wasn't anxious just now."

Shi Yu didn't know the metaphor between them. He just followed Dr. Qin, watching him open the medicine box with an envious expression.

Yun Lin'ai was only wearing a shirt. He unbuttoned all the buttons with one hand, revealing a whole layer of gauze inside, which was faintly red. The wound must have been opened when he struggled accidentally. Qin Yue peeled off the gauze layer by layer. After the blood dried, the gauze would stick to the wound, so it must be painful when tearing it. Shi Yu couldn't help but glance at Yun Lin'ai, but the other party remained calm.

The wound went directly through the back of his left shoulder. It was a dark red scar with a slight red tinge around it. Shi Yu frowned and asked Qin Yue, "Is this wound inflamed?"

"You're quite good at looking." Qin Yue praised unexpectedly.

Shi Yu felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, "I saw the picture in a book."

Qin Yue's tone turned harsh and he said to Yun Linai, "Everyone knows that the wound is inflamed, but you don't know? After all, you have been injured so many times."

Yun Lin'ai didn't seem to have taken the other person's words into account. He played with the ornaments he had taken from the coffee table with his right hand and said, "I don't feel anything."

"From the outside, when a wound becomes inflamed, the surrounding skin will turn red and swell. It will feel more intense than when the injury was first reported, so it needs to be flushed with saline to keep it clean." Shi Yu said this as if reciting a book, looking at Qin Yue who was suddenly stunned. "Am I right?"

Yun Lin'ai saw admiration in Qin Yue's eyes, and his eyes seemed to be shining, as if he had unearthed some treasure.

"He can't appear in places like the hospital yet." The cold and ruthless words extinguished Qin Yue's expectations.

He didn't intend to pay attention and praised, "Yes, you have a good memory. You must have read a lot of books."

"I learned it before and remembered it, but I didn't practice it." Shi Yu lowered his head and watched the other party carefully as he applied the medicine.

"It's great that you can remember it." Qin Yue rinsed Yun Lin'ai with saline solution. The other party had no expression except for frowning. Alpha's pain nerves were not very sensitive. Shi Yu admired him for being able to endure the pain like that. If it were him, he would have fainted from the pain long ago.

Qin Yue's movements were very methodical and orderly, and Shi Yu watched every step very carefully. Only then did Yun Lin'ai notice the focus and seriousness in his eyes, which had never been there before. It was also the first time he realized that the other party would be so interested in a wound.

The living room was well-lit. A little sunlight after the snow shone into the entire room, covering a small layer of hair on the back of Shi Yu's head, with a faint yellow glow. He just stood there bent over, and the collar of his pajamas fell loosely. The red thread on his neck made him look very white, and he was unaware that the large area of ​​white fell into Yun Lin'ai's eyes. If he had looked any lower, he would have seen it all.

While doing the final bandage, Shi Yu looked up to see the other person's expression, but for some reason Yun Lin'ai became interested in the teacup on the table.

The author has something to say:

----------------------

If you don't look away, it won't just be the wound that's bleeding.
