Han Jingchen finished speaking and walked straight forward.

Pei Manning stood there, looking at Han Jingchen's tall back with her dark and watery eyes for a while: "Oh."

She held onto the wall and walked forward slowly. Her knees felt like they were being pricked by needles with every step she took. She limped along behind Han Jingchen.

After walking only two steps, Han Jingchen heard the footsteps were not right, so he stopped and looked back at her legs. The wrinkle between his eyebrows deepened: "Your right leg is also injured?"

After asking, he realized that he had asked a stupid question. Pei Manning wore thick clothes in winter and was wearing cotton pants, so it was hard to tell whether her legs were deformed or swollen. But seeing that Pei Manning was covered in cold sweat and had a pale face, it was estimated that she was seriously injured.

If your leg is broken, walking like this will put your body weight on the broken leg, which will only cause a more serious dislocation.

After hesitating for a moment, seeing Pei Manning sweating profusely, Han Jingchen walked back and squatted on the ground: "Come up."

Pei Manning looked at his broad back, leaning against the wall in confusion, and hesitated for a moment. Han Jingchen was going to carry her on his back? This... this was not good, right?

For her, this behavior was a little too intimate.

After waiting for a long time, there was no movement behind him. Han Jingchen turned around and saw that she looked confused, as if she had encountered a huge problem. He raised a dark eyebrow and said, "Why are you standing there? Don't you want your legs anymore?"

Pei Manning let out a sigh of relief. When she ran away from her marriage to the northwest, she dressed up as a beggar and often followed the men from the caravan and the merchant caravan. What was she pretending to be doing now?

She took a few steps and leaned gently towards Han Jingchen.

Han Jingchen had a stern face at first, but Pei Manning's soft and fragrant body came close to him, delicate and soft as if she had no bones, and pressed against his back, and he couldn't help but stiffen his back.

In particular, he didn't know where to hold Pei Manning's thighs or her hips, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

Han Jingchen looked unnatural for a moment, and finally lifted her up on his back with his hands supporting her legs through her thick cotton pants.

Pei Manning suddenly felt that the weight on her knees was much lighter, and the pain was not so severe. She held the man's broad shoulders and pursed her lips, "Thank you."

As she spoke, her warm and moist breath sprayed on Han Jingchen's neck and ears. The breath carried a faint warm fragrance, which formed a strong contrast with the cold winter air, making Han Jingchen's ears almost numb, and he couldn't help but look at Zhang Jun's handsome face.

"Don't talk yet!"

Pei Manning: “…”

After that, Pei Manning indeed stopped talking, but her breath was still on the back of his neck and behind his ears, sometimes coming and sometimes not.

Fortunately, the jeep was not far away, and within two minutes, Han Jingchen ended this torturous journey.

Once in the car, Han Jingchen took out a first aid kit from the compartment.

He first cleaned the sand and dust on Pei Manning's palm, but as soon as he grabbed her hand, he touched a piece of soft and tender skin, as smooth as cream. Han Jingchen's palm relaxed, and for a moment, Han Jingchen didn't know what to do with this woman whose body was full of minefields.

"Hiss! It hurts." Pei Manning couldn't help but gasp.

Han Jingchen glanced at her and said, "Bear with it."

After saying this, he loosened his grip a little, and quickly cleaned her wound, sprinkled some blood-curdling powder on it, and then wrapped her up.

As for other places, Han Jingchen couldn't check them anymore.

Especially since Pei Manning was wearing thick clothes, her elbows and knees were completely invisible. These areas could easily injure bones, so it would be better for her to go to the hospital for a check-up.

"I'll take you to the hospital first."

After arriving at the hospital and registering, the doctor first examined Pei Manning's injuries.

The joint of her right hand was dislocated, and the skin on her palm was abraded and the wound was quite large. Fortunately, Han Jingchen treated her in time, first cleaning the gravel and then stopping the bleeding. Her left hand also had a few scratches, and her right leg was hit by a bicycle wheel, and her knee was a little bruised, but not red, swollen or deformed.

Pei Manning had fair and tender skin, which would normally turn purple with a slight bump, let alone such a severe bump. The wound looked quite shocking.

The doctor frowned and gently pinched her dislocated joint. "How did you get hurt? Why is it so serious?"

"Ah!" He pinched her, and Pei Manning couldn't help but let out a cry.

It hurt so much that I couldn't help but shed tears.

Han Jingchen glanced at Pei Manning and answered for her: "She was hit by a bicycle. Her knee was also injured. Can the doctor check if there is any fracture?"

The doctor nodded and said to Pei Manning, "Your joint is dislocated. I'll put it back in place first. The longer you wait, the worse it will be. It will hurt a little."

"Okay." Pei Manning bit her lip and nodded.

While examining Pei Manning, the doctor asked her about her condition, asking if it hurt here, and how it hurt.

He asked the question gently and kindly, and gradually, Pei Manning's nerves, which were tense due to the pain, relaxed a little.

At the end of the questioning, the doctor glanced at Han Jingchen and suddenly asked Pei Manning: "Is this guy your partner?"

This question was so abrupt that Pei Manning was stunned for a moment: "No...ah."

Before she finished speaking, she heard a "click" sound, and the doctor took advantage of her distraction to put her arm back.

Pei Manning cried because of the pain, but after that burst of severe pain, the pain in her arm seemed to ease a lot, and she was able to move it gently, but it still felt a little sore and swollen when she moved.

"Okay, it's in place. The ligament is a little bit injured. I'll put a plaster cast on your hand first. Don't do any strenuous activities on this hand for a month. The other hand isn't seriously injured. Just change the medicine every other day."

At this point, the doctor took the film that the nurse had brought and looked at it for a while. "As for your leg, the bones are not injured according to the film, but the soft tissue inside is bruised. I'll prescribe some medicine for you, both internal and external. Remember to take it when you go back."

After the doctor applied the plaster, he gave them some instructions before letting them go.

After returning from the hospital, Pei Manning's hands were not only wrapped up like big dumplings, but her arm was also in a cast. However, her knee was iced for a while, and the pain was much relieved. Fortunately, there was no fracture, and after recovering from the pain, she was able to walk.

So much happened that day.

Pei Manning was exhausted.

When they returned, they found that Jiang Ye had returned and was sitting on the steps outside the gate waiting for them.

"Brother Chen, Comrade Pei, you are back?" Jiang Ye waved happily as soon as he saw them.

Han Jingchen asked: "Has it been delivered?"

"Don't worry, Brother Chen, the Public Security Bureau will definitely deal with this matter seriously, and they will not harass Comrade Pei again. By the way," Jiang Ye also took out a few large bills from his pocket, "this is the medical expenses and nutrition expenses paid by the surname Li."

Although Pei Manning was disgusted with Li Jianrong, she was not disgusted with the money. He should pay for it. She looked at Han Jingchen and said, "Comrade Han, thank you for the medical expenses paid by Tiandi. You can keep it."

Han Jingchen glanced at her and said, "I don't need the money for now. You can pay me back later."

Jiang Ye followed up and said, "Yes, Comrade Pei, why give it to Brother Chen? This was originally meant to be a compensation to you. You were injured so badly, it's just right to keep it to heal your body."

"..." Pei Manning couldn't help but glance at Jiang Ye, suspecting that Jiang Ye was not Han Jingchen's friend, but her friend. Otherwise, why would she always want to dig Han Jingchen's money to subsidize her?

In fact, Jiang Ye's idea was very simple. Pei Manning's parents had both passed away, and she had no relatives or friends. She was helpless, so they should help her now.

It was getting dark and Pei Manning had her right hand in a cast, so she couldn't cook dinner, so Jiang Ye made dinner for her.

As for Han Jingchen? Han Jingchen only knows how to cook noodles and boil eggs.

"It just so happens that Brother Chen and I haven't found a place to eat this evening, so we'll have dinner here, Comrade Pei. Comrade Pei, please don't despise us for eating." Jiang Ye said while frying cabbage.

Pei Manning told Jiang Ye where everything was in the kitchen. She knew Jiang Ye meant well by saying this: "Of course not."

However, after hearing what Jiang Ye said, she couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Jiang, you and Comrade Han came here today, what's the matter?"

What a coincidence! Pei Manning was wondering if Han Jingchen had planted some spy around her to monitor her every move. After all, he had always doubted her identity.

"Oh, Brother Chen and I have a day off for the New Year, and we were planning to take a train to Nanjing that day." Jiang Ye said.

After returning from Shanghai, the organization gave them 15 days off. Considering that they would spend a lot of time on the road, the organization decided to deduct their travel time and let them stay at home for 15 days before reporting back.

However, they still had to maintain communication and return to the team in advance in case of an emergency.

Pei Manning was stunned for a moment before she realized that it was already the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month.

"Is it still in time for you to take the train now?" Pei Manning asked.

Jiang Ye looked at the sky and said, "I missed the train this afternoon. I can only see if I can buy a ticket tomorrow. If I can't buy a ticket, I will have to stay in the camp for the New Year."

They had celebrated the New Year in the camp in previous years, and what happened today was sudden. As soldiers, they could not sit idly by and watch such bullying of women.

What's more, the lesbian who was bullied by the gangsters was someone they knew.

But in doing so, they missed the train home.

Pei Manning suddenly felt a little embarrassed, it was all because of her... But she really had nothing to make up for it, so she racked her brains to please him: "Comrade Jiang Ye, I just made some crispy fish and wine lees fish, I will share some with you when the time comes, you can eat them as snacks on weekdays."

"That's a great feeling!"

Han Jingchen was washing vegetables with cold water nearby. Seeing the two chatting animatedly, his dark, narrow eyes narrowed.
