As Huo Junyu listened to his words, doubts began to grow in his heart.
Inpatient department?
Lu Xiaoyou had only recently returned to the Lu family and was still unfamiliar with everything. Was she at the hospital to see a doctor or to visit someone else?
If she's visiting someone else, then who is she visiting?
Besides her biological parents, Lu Lishan and Lin Yuqing, who else could be so important to her?
Huo Junyu's eyes darkened, a hint of coldness flashing in them.
"Brother, I have to go now..." Huo Junyang's legs were already inconvenient, making it even more difficult for him to chase after her. "I, I'll catch up with her soon... Don't worry, this time I'll definitely take this pomelo to the blood test for kinship!"
"Okay, then be careful."
Huo Junyang agreed and quickly hung up the phone.
He was already strong and healthy, and although the injury on his foot made it difficult for him to move around, it wasn't a big deal. Lu Xiaoyou was a girl, and she walked slowly with small, quick steps, so he quickly caught up with her.
Lu Xiaoyou looked somewhat flustered and wary, turning back to look after taking a few steps.
Every time she looked back, Huo Junyang could only hide behind the wall or hide his face behind other patients.
The two walked step by step to the third floor of the inpatient department.
At this moment, Huo Junyang had already quietly approached her from behind...
"Ah—" Lu Xiaoyou's face turned pale with fright, and she screamed in terror.
Huo Junyang was also startled, and suddenly lost his balance, almost falling to the ground.
Lu Xiaoyou wanted to reach out to help him.
However, her hand froze in mid-air, her face turned extremely pale, and a complex emotion flashed across her eyes. In the end, she stood to the side, her back pressed against the wall, still shaken.
She had just turned around to check if anyone was there, as was her habit, and saw a figure lurking behind her, the person trying to pull her hair!
Fortunately, she reacted quickly and narrowly escaped...
Lu Xiaoyou gasped for breath, staring wide-eyed at Huo Junyang, "You...you were following me?"
"ah?"
Huo Junyang gripped his crutch. He had almost fallen just now and twisted his ankle, so the pain was now even worse.
This little girl didn't even help him up!
There's definitely something fishy going on.
He composed himself, forced a smile, and said to her in a natural, calm tone, "Who do you think I could be following in this state? I hurt my foot, so I came to the hospital today to get it checked out... By the way, what are you doing here? This looks like the inpatient ward..."
“Little Yuzu,” Huo Junyang moved closer to her, carefully examining her face, “Are you... feeling unwell somewhere?”
Lu Xiaoyou avoided his gaze, her two restless little hands behind her back, leaning against the wall, gently scratching at the paint.
A certain aura emanating from Huo Junyang seemed to suddenly strike her heart, making her heart beat faster.
"No," Lu Xiaoyou said softly, "I... I took the wrong turn."
"Wrong way?"
"Yes..." She lowered her eyelids, her face showing fear and unease, "You, please move aside, I need to go home! If I don't go back soon, my parents will be worried sick!"
"It's alright." Huo Junyang smiled, took out his phone and handed it to her, "Use mine, call Uncle Ashan and Aunt Yuqing, and tell them you're with me. They'll be completely at ease!"
Lu Xiaoyou looked at her phone but didn't take it.
Huo Junyang kept moving forward, and she kept dodging to the side.
She was blocking all opportunities to connect with Huo Junyang, and she was extremely wary of even using her mobile phone.
Huo Junyang was now even more convinced that there was something wrong with the little pomelo...
"Ouch!" He rolled his eyes and suddenly leaned to one side.
Lu Xiaoyou looked at him and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
"My feet hurt so much, Little Yuzu, I can't walk... Could you help me?"
Lu Xiaoyou paused for a moment, then didn't reach out her hand.
Huo Junyang struggled to support himself with his crutch, looking at her with a half-smile: "Little Youzi, you seem to be very afraid of interacting with other people?"
Her expression changed, and her eyes dimmed.
"Is it related to your experiences over the years? Little Yuzu, I'm actually family to you. If you hadn't been taken away back then, we would have grown up together..."
Huo Junyang began to appeal to their emotions, "If you have any troubles that you can't tell Uncle Ashan and Aunt Yuqing, you can confide in me!"
Lu Xiaoyou bit her lip tightly, looking nervous.
But Huo Junyang noticed that her eyes kept glancing at the room at the end of the corridor... The person in there might be able to solve this secret.
“Little Yuzu,” he lowered his voice, getting close to her so he could almost hear her heartbeat, “I promise I won’t tell anyone if you’re willing to tell me. It’s a secret only the two of us know… okay?”
Lu Xiaoyou's eyes suddenly reddened, filled with tears, and she shook her head desperately.
"Little pomelo?" Huo Junyang was taken aback.
However, at that moment, a force suddenly grabbed his arm!
Huo Junyang's heart skipped a beat. He turned to look and saw that it was Lu Ming who had grabbed him!
"What's wrong with the Second Young Master?" Lu Ming chuckled. "You should see an orthopedic doctor for your foot injury. What are you doing in the inpatient department?"
"Heh, Second Uncle." Huo Junyang forced a smile. "Why are you asking me, Second Uncle? Isn't Little You also in the inpatient ward?"
Lu Ming's expression darkened, and a ruthless, cold glint flashed in his eyes.
However, he quickly explained with a smile, as if nothing had happened: "Xiaoyou missed some school time, but now she's back in Yangcheng and wants to apply to medical school. I happen to know a doctor in the inpatient department of this hospital, so I had her come to this doctor to ask for some advice on her studies."
"Really?" Huo Junyang chuckled. "But as far as I know, Second Uncle, you haven't been in Yangcheng for very long, and this hospital belongs to my maternal grandfather... Heh, how come you have acquaintances here?"
"What, Second Young Master, you don't believe me?"
"Of course not."
"That's good." Lu Ming smiled. "Although I'm not very talented, I've accumulated some connections over the years in the business world, so it's normal to have an acquaintance in this hospital."
"Second Young Master," he said, grabbing Lu Xiaoyou's wrist, "I'll take Xiaoyou to talk to that doctor first! Oh, by the way, when I came here earlier, I saw your butler looking for you everywhere!"
Lu Ming didn't give him a chance to speak at all, and left after giving Lu Xiaoyou a polite smile.
Huo Junyang watched the two figures walk away... Lu Xiaoyou seemed reluctant to leave.
There seemed to be a lot of unspoken words hidden in Lu Xiaoyou's eyes.
(Family, I'll definitely make sure Xiao Huo and Mianmian kiss tomorrow!)
