Chapter 28 Blushing

Normally, Li Jichuan would wake up a little earlier than Su Pu.

Then gently help the other person to the other side of the bed, and then go wash up yourself.

Upon waking up this morning, he immediately noticed changes in his body...

To be honest, this isn't the first time.

Although Li Jichuan had broken his leg, he was still a normal man with normal needs, even if he didn't have those thoughts in his heart.

But this time it's a little different.

Li Jichuan realized that the person lying on top of him seemed to have woken up as well...

"Su Pu?"

Li Jichuan's voice was a little hoarse, but it wasn't as languid as when he usually woke up; instead, it carried a hint of caution.

Su Pu absolutely hated this problem of hers—that she couldn't move at all whenever her emotions were running high.

I originally thought this only happened in dangerous situations, but I never expected it to happen in something like this...

"Go back to your own room and sleep when you wake up."

Li Jichuan's tone didn't change much; he was much calmer than Su Pu.

"I'm a little inconvenient right now."

Su Pu was still unable to move; his whole body was as stiff as a wooden board.

Seeing that the other party did not move, a wicked thought swirled in Li Jichuan's mind for two seconds, but in the end, reason prevailed.

"Can't you move?" Li Jichuan asked considerately.

If he could move, he would have run away long ago.

Su Pu nodded, and then, remembering that the other person couldn't see her, she tugged at the hem of Li Jichuan's pajamas.

Two seconds later, a few soft laughs suddenly drifted past my ears. The scene was so helpless that it was almost absurd.

Li Jichuan relaxed a lot, supporting Su Pu's shoulder with one hand and his waist with the other, and put him down where he should have been lying.

Although his legs are crippled, Li Jichuan's upper limbs are exceptionally strong, and these movements are effortless for him.

Su Pu landed steadily, and while he breathed a sigh of relief, he also felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.

He was disappointed.

Feeling frustrated by her own clumsiness, she wondered if someone else could have handled the awkward situation more skillfully, instead of being like a passive doll, being moved around by others...

However, the next second, everything went black before his eyes, and a dry, slightly warm hand covered his eyes.

In her ears was Li Jichuan's unique, deep, and alluring voice.

"Su Pu, sleep a little longer, forget about what just happened..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I feel really embarrassed now..."

Surprised by Li Jichuan's honesty, Su Pu blinked, her fluffy eyelashes brushing against Li Jichuan's palm.

The breathing around me stopped abruptly for a moment, then became slightly rapid.

"I need to take care of something now, please don't come to the bathroom yet, okay?"

The hot breath that Li Jichuan exhaled as he spoke kept wafting around Su Pu's ears, making him feel feverish as if he were sick.

After Li Jichuan sat in his wheelchair and left the bedroom, Su Pu was still burning up.

Something inside him was crumbling, turning into a soft, warm pool, while his heart continued to beat wildly and powerfully, almost shattering his eardrums.

Immediately, Su Pu also showed some reaction.

Soon, the sound of running water came from the shower room. If she listened any longer, Su Pu would completely melt away today.

Therefore, as soon as his body felt better, he ran barefoot to the guest bathroom.

Uncle Wang had just woken up when he saw Su Pu running past with a flushed face. He paused for a couple of seconds, then smiled.

This house is getting more and more lively!

...

During their morning rehabilitation, the two didn't dare look at each other the entire time.

The two rehabilitation therapists were puzzled; they usually practically glued to each other's eyes, so why were they suddenly being so reserved today?

Did they have a fight?

No wonder, Li Jichuan looked sullen today, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

After finishing his rehabilitation, Li Jichuan went to the company without having breakfast.

Although Su Pu was sitting at the dining table, it took him half an hour to eat half a slice of toast. The servants in the house were observing silently and also sensed that something was wrong.

Only Uncle Wang saw through it but didn't say anything. He calmly finished his bowl of porridge and then went to pack Su Pu's lunchbox.

Su Pu is on the early shift today and won't get off work until 2 PM.

Uncle Wang was worried that Su Pu wouldn't eat properly, so he would pack a separate lunchbox for him every time, and would check it when Su Pu got home.

Once, Li Jichuan saw it and stared at the lunchbox, carefully considering what to say.

Uncle Wang thought he would scold him for meddling.

Unexpectedly, Li Jichuan placed his palm on the edge of the lunchbox, compared it, and then muttered something.

"It's a bit small."

"What?" Uncle Wang didn't understand what he meant.

Li Jichuan looked away and casually sipped his tea. "I mean, the lunchbox is too small. What if he doesn't get enough to eat?"

Uncle Wang chuckled, "Then shall I get a larger size?"

Setting down his teacup, Li Jichuan remotely controlled his wheelchair to leave, casually leaving behind a remark:

"Let's get two sizes bigger. He has a friend at the store who looks like he can eat a lot; we don't want them all to be taken..."

How could someone like Li Jichuan possibly let Su Pu get angry...?

Uncle Wang packed the lunchbox into a bag and placed it in the entryway.

This kid is too busy feeling sorry for her to even think about it!

...

The lingering effects of the morning's turmoil were still felt; during lunch, Su Pu was somewhat absent-minded.

Ouyang picked up a chicken leg from his lunchbox, took a big bite, and squinted his eyes to enjoy it.

"Brother Su, what's wrong with you today?"

He nudged Su Pu with his elbow, and Su Pu swayed back and forth like a little roly-poly toy.

Coming to her senses, Su Pu shook her head, indicating that she was alright.

"Oh right, the event has just ended. The colleagues from other stores sent me the questionnaire data they collected. We'll organize it together after get off work and then send it to President Li."

Ouyang was extremely excited, never expecting that he, an ordinary college student, could directly help Li Jichuan's career...

Although this experience wasn't particularly valuable and wouldn't be included on a resume, it greatly boosted his self-confidence.

"Brother Su, I had no idea I had such influence! We received so many questionnaires this time, all collected by other stores. I only met a few people during training, I never expected them to help me so much..."

Ouyang told Su Pu that they had collected more than 9,000 questionnaires this time, far exceeding their expectations.

"Nine thousand answer sheets! They'll definitely help President Li!"

Su Pu's expression was solemn. After hesitating for a long time, he made an excuse to avoid it and let Ouyang deliver the results himself.

"Why? Isn't that your husband? Don't you want to see him?" Ouyang asked, puzzled.

Su Pu denied it.

Of course I want to see him...

I just happened to have something to take care of.

"What's up? It's just delivering some materials, it'll only take 10 minutes..."

Ouyang clasped his hands together and rubbed them against his chest. "Brother Su, please, come with me. Without you, I don't even know where to find President Li."

Su Pu's face flushed.

Normally, he would definitely agree to go together, but today's situation is really too special.

He still feels a tingling sensation in the area where the pressure point was, and he can't help but imagine more...

In the end, I ended up with a sallow complexion...

Even breathing became difficult. Su Pu closed the lunchbox and prepared to leave.

"Brother, Buddha, let's go together... I'm only trying to help you two, can't you even grant me this small wish?"

...In the end, Su Pu couldn't resist and was coaxed and tricked by Ouyang into going up to the top floor.

Li Jichuan was working when his secretary saw that it was Su Pu and let him through immediately.

They even skipped the process of asking questions and making introductions.

Su Pu knocked three times and entered Li Jichuan's office, followed by Ouyang, who looked like he had finally achieved his long-cherished wish.

Li Jichuan didn't pay much attention to the newcomer; his gaze was fixed on the reports on his computer.

As they approached, Li Jichuan glanced at them casually.

The next second, he choked on his own saliva and started coughing.

"Oh dear, what's wrong? Drink some water and calm down."

Ouyang quickly picked up the water glass on the table and handed it to Li Jichuan.

As Li Jichuan caught his breath, his gaze unconsciously fell on the mute man.

Even if you appear calm and collected in the morning, it's still an act.

Now that we've unexpectedly run into each other, all that's left is awkwardness...

The atmosphere was too subtle.

Even the usually oblivious Ouyang could sense something was wrong and pointed at Su Pu's cheek.

"Brother Su, why is your face so red?"

Ouyang shifted his gaze to Li Jichuan, and said with a chill, "President Li, why are your ears red too?"
