Jiang Ze parked the car at the alley entrance when he arrived, and it would be a bit troublesome to go out now. It was still raining heavily outside, and they were all wet just now. They weren't afraid of getting wet when they came back, but now that they were both dry, they would inevitably get wet again if they went out.
After thinking for a moment, he simply squatted down in front of Ye Zhao and said, "Zhao Zhao, come on, I'll carry you over."
Ye Zhao quickly said, "It's alright, I'll walk out myself."
As she spoke, she tried to pull Jiang Ze up, but Jiang Ze grabbed her wrist and pulled her onto his body, holding her legs and carrying her on his back.
"Take an umbrella, or we'll all get soaked."
Ye Zhao had no choice but to bend down and reach for the umbrella placed by the door.
The rain was pouring down, and the water in the ditches on both sides of the bluestone street overflowed. Jiang Ze carried Ye Zhao on his back and walked in the rain. The splashing water soaked his trouser legs. He suddenly laughed and said, "Zhao Zhao, look how romantic we are, strolling in the rain."
Ye Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then replied, "Come on, I'm not cut out for that kind of romance."
Jiang Ze muttered, "That deadbeat straight woman!"
Ye Zhao also said, "Alright, I know you're gay..."
Jiang Ze: "..."
The rain was so heavy that, despite Jiang Ze's best efforts, the two of them still got somewhat wet.
After Jiang Ze got into the car, he turned on the air conditioning, handed a dry towel to Ye Zhao, and then started the car and drove to the hospital.
Ye Zhao's injuries were mostly abrasions, with only minor cuts and bleeding. The sprain on her ankle was more serious. After the examination and treatment, it was already quite late, and the heavy rain had gradually subsided.
"Let me take you to Green Field first, and then I'll take you home after we've had dinner."
Ye Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your help."
Jiang Ze turned to look at her with a look of horror: "Woman, don't be so polite, it's kind of scary."
Ye Zhao: "..."
When the two arrived at Green Field, it was already 9:30 p.m.
When Yang Juan at the counter saw Jiang Ze helping Ye Zhao in, she quickly got up and came out: "What did the doctor say? Are you alright?"
Ye Zhao, supporting Jiang Ze's hand, slowly moved forward: "It's nothing, just a sprain. Where's Yuanbao?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another person came out of the house. Ye Zhao looked at him and looked away uncomfortably. The next moment, he found Yuanbao lying in his arms, sleeping soundly.
Jiang Che looked at her ankle, which was wrapped in medicine, and asked, "Have you had an X-ray taken? Did you break any bones?"
Jiang Ze stood beside Ye Zhao, looking at Jiang Che, then at the child in his arms. Something flashed in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Ye Zhao took two slow steps and replied, "It's all done, it's fine. Thank you for today! Is Sister Li alright?"
Jiang Che glanced at her and slowly replied, "I had someone take her to the hospital. She has a fracture, but it's not a serious problem."
As he spoke, Ye Zhao slowly approached and reached out to take the child from his arms: "Give me the child?"
Jiang Che stepped aside and said, "It's alright, I'll carry you. You're still injured."
At this moment, Xiaolin came out of the kitchen and saw Ye Zhao, so he hurriedly asked, "Boss, are you alright?"
The two exchanged a few more words, and then Xiao Lin went downstairs to heat up the food. Yang Juan helped Ye Zhao sit down in the room.
Yuanbao was fast asleep in Jiang Che's arms, and Jiang Che thoughtfully gave him a small blanket to cover himself with.
Yang Juan looked at the several scrapes on Ye Zhao's body and said, "How did you get like this? It's a good thing President Jiang helped, otherwise Brother Cheng and the others would have been looking for you for who knows how long."
Ye Zhao smiled apologetically: "I didn't expect it to rain so heavily all of a sudden. Are Feng Cheng and the others alright?"
Yang Juan replied, "It's nothing, they came down as soon as they got the call, they just got a little rained on."
After saying that, he remembered something and asked, "But why did you go that way? There's no signal on the mountain there, and we can't make phone calls."
Ye Zhao simply said, "There are a few chestnut trees on that mountain over there. Sister Li and I want to go take a look..."
As the two were talking, Jiang Che would glance at Ye Zhao from time to time, which Jiang Ze noticed.
After exchanging a few words with Yang Juan, Ye Zhao turned to Jiang Che and said, "Thank you for your help today. Are Mu Xu and the others alright?"
Jiang Che shook his head: "It's nothing, I just got a little rained on, it's not a big deal."
Ye Zhao said apologetically, "I'll have to thank you properly another day. If it weren't for you today, I don't know when I would have been able to come back!"
"You're welcome. It's good that everyone's alright. Just be careful about the weather next time you go..."
For some reason, Ye Zhao felt a little uncomfortable. Perhaps it was because she had almost never had such close contact with the opposite sex since she was a child, especially in such an awkward and ridiculous position, which was seen by several people. It was really embarrassing.
The group chatted leisurely, and soon Xiao Lin had heated up the food. Ye Zhao then invited everyone to eat together and asked Jiang Che to put the child in his arms on the sofa. However, Yuanbao, who was fast asleep, clung to Jiang Che's clothes and refused to let go. He cried every time Ye Zhao pulled him. Ye Zhao had no choice but to let him continue to sleep in Jiang Che's arms.
After the meal, Jiang Ze got up to take Ye Zhao home, and Jiang Che followed behind them, carrying the child.
As Jiang Ze got into the car, he glanced at the child in Jiang Che's arms and scoffed, "Little brat, you have good taste..."
Jiang Ze's car could only go as far as the alley entrance. He got out and helped Ye Zhao walk inside, while Jiang Che followed behind them carrying the child.
Just as Jiang Che had imagined, Ye Zhao's home was decorated in a warm, comfortable, clean and tidy manner. He walked in and looked around for a while before he came back to his senses when Ye Zhao started to speak.
"Thank you all so much for today. I'll treat you to a meal another time to properly thank you!"
Jiang Ze pursed his lips and said, "I'm not used to you being so polite all of a sudden."
Ye Zhao glanced at him and said, "I wasn't talking about you."
After saying that, she stretched out her hand to Jiang Che: "Give me the child, thank you!"
Yuanbao was sleeping soundly, but he was still clutching Jiang Che's clothes. Whenever Ye Zhao picked him up, he would whine and pout as if he was about to cry. Ye Zhao quickly coaxed him gently, "Baby, be good, let's go to sleep. Can Mommy hold you?"
Under Ye Zhao's gentle coaxing, Yuanbao finally let go and was held in Ye Zhao's arms. The soft little thing rolled into her arms, and Ye Zhao's heart almost melted.
Jiang Che lowered his eyes, looking at Ye Zhao's gentle expression, and his heart stirred slightly. Jiang Ze, who was beside him, suddenly coughed, interrupting his thoughts.
"Then get some rest and take care of your injuries. Call us again if anything happens."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
After seeing Jiang Che and his brother off, Ye Zhao took Yuanbao to the bedroom on the first floor. Fortunately, she had already made up the bed in this bedroom. Her foot was injured tonight, and it was inconvenient to carry the child upstairs, so she could only rest here.
