Mu Yingying's sprain was not serious, and Xia Che was relieved after a quick glance.
The waiter went to get the first-aid kit; we can handle it when the other person comes back.
"No... Today is the first time I've worn it."
With tears welling in Mu Yingying's eyes, her brows furrowed and lips pursed, Xia Che could tell that this girl was enduring pain.
Even if she was in excruciating pain, Mu Yingying would not show it.
Just like her character in the comics, Mu Yingying is a strong-willed girl.
In public, Mu Yingying would never reveal her vulnerable side; she would only do so secretly when she was alone.
"Wearing them for so long the first time? Don't you know that when you first start wearing high heels, you need to bring an extra pair of sneakers to change into whenever you need to?"
Xia Che frowned slightly.
High heels, while aesthetically pleasing, completely deprive people of the experience of wearing them.
Many women are forced to wear high heels when attending formal occasions, but those who have never worn them before often suffer from pain due to the inhumane design of high heels.
If you wear them for a long time, your heels will even rub and bleed.
In Xia Che's own words...
These shoes are only suitable for wearing as decorative items to enhance the atmosphere in certain unspoken occasions; they are not suitable for going out at all.
This statement may be crude, but the principle is correct.
Mu Yingying, who knew absolutely nothing about this, clearly suffered a great loss, obviously because the shoes didn't fit properly and that's why she sprained her ankle.
"You need to bring sneakers? I didn't know..."
Mu Yingying gently rubbed her fair and delicate ankles. She was a little surprised when she heard this. She thought it was because she had never worn high heels before, so she was a little uncomfortable. She thought she would get used to it.
result……
Am I overthinking things?
"Sir, your lady would like to rest for a while. Here is a first-aid kit. I am very sorry for what happened earlier. If she needs to go to the hospital, I will reimburse all her expenses. Please do not tell the boss... I am just a part-time worker here to earn some extra money. If I get a bad review, I won't be able to take any more orders."
The waiter rushed over, carrying a small first-aid kit. His forehead was covered in sweat, whether from nervousness or from running around too much, it was hard to tell.
He placed the first-aid kit on the ground, then squatted down, his eyes filled with tension as he looked at Xia Che.
“It’s no use telling me this. She was the one who got hurt, not me.”
Xia Che waved his hand, signaling the waiter to ask Mu Yingying.
"I'm not his date... Never mind, it's not important. Don't worry, I'm not hurt, I don't need to go to the hospital... and I won't give you a bad review."
Despite the pain, Mu Yingying forced a smile and repeatedly assured the waiter that she wouldn't give a bad review. Only then did the waiter feel somewhat relieved, but he still left, looking back every few steps.
"What a great opportunity, why not try to extort him?"
As Xia Che opened the first-aid kit to see if there was anything useful inside, he casually made a joke.
"Since it's a part-time job, that person should be a college student from a nearby university. We're all students, why make things difficult for him?"
Mu Yingying lowered her head, followed Xia Che's gaze to the medicine box, and then smiled mischievously: "Besides, who doesn't know that college students are the poorest? Even if you try to extort him, he won't give you much money. There's no need. It's better to let him off the hook. That way, he'll remember my kindness."
"Oh my, you even know that? I never knew you had such a dark side."
Upon hearing this, Xia Che looked up in surprise, but because the two were standing very close, and Mu Yingying had to stretch out her leg due to her sprained ankle, and the hem of her dress was already very low, Xia Che glanced at her and immediately saw something he shouldn't have seen. He quickly lowered his head and coughed.
They're taking advantage of someone's misfortune again...
My apologies, my apologies.
He saw nothing.
He would never tell anyone that he saw Mu Yingying's pink bear.
"I'm not a social idiot, I know how to navigate these basic social interactions, okay?"
Mu Yingying didn't notice Xia Che's subtle movements. Her gaze remained fixed on the contents of the medicine box. She asked, "How is it? Is anything in here useful?"
"It's alright, it should be enough for a simple bandage. Let's go find a quiet place."
Because of that glance just now, Xia Che's heart fluttered a little. Suppressing that strange feeling, he stood up, carrying the medicine box in one hand, and then reached out to Mu Yingying, "How are you? Can you stand up?"
Fortunately, the housewarming party was being held at Qing Ning's house, so finding an empty guest room was quite easy. Right now, all we had to worry about was whether Mu Yingying could stand up smoothly.
"It should work... I'll give it a try."
Mu Yingying hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and grasped Xia Che's outstretched hand.
There was no other way; in my condition, I really couldn't stand up without holding onto something.
You can't just sit on the ground forever, can you?
Even if Li Junyang found out, he probably wouldn't blame himself...
With the help of Xia Che's outstretched hand, Mu Yingying, though a little shaky, finally managed to stand up. She quickly let go of Xia Che's hand, grabbed the table beside her, and said with a flushed face, "Thank you."
Mu Yingying glanced at it with a puzzled look.
Xia Che can be a bit sharp-tongued at times, but why are his palms so hot?
Mu Yingying's hands and feet were always cold, all year round. She had originally thought that everyone was the same.
Are all boys' palms this warm, or is it just Xia Che?
Mu Yingying started having random thoughts.
That warmth was something she had never felt before.
"Don't mention it, let's go."
Xia Che fiddled with his phone for a while, then put it back in his pocket and said with a smile, "I've already told Qing Ning about the situation. She's booking dinner for tonight and can't leave, but she did tell me that those guest rooms have already been cleaned up, which is perfect for bandaging you up."
Is this okay?
Xia Che thought for a moment, then bent his arm slightly and stretched it out towards Mu Yingying.
Xia Che had noticed the girl's strange behavior earlier.
That makes sense, since the other party already has a boyfriend. Although Li Junyang is a scumbag, Mu Yingying doesn't know that yet, so it's only right that she avoids suspicion.
Holding hands just now was only out of necessity; it's not allowed now.
"Thanks……"
Mu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and gave Xia Che a grateful look. Then she reached out and took Xia Che's arm. She hadn't expected Xia Che to be so considerate. Was his gentleness hidden in the details?
No wonder Shen Yanxin is so infatuated with him...
