Chapter 78: Two Boats
Ms. Su was a hot-tempered person. Whenever she spoke, Lin You had no chance to speak.
As soon as the call was connected, Ms. Su started complaining.
“How many times have I called you?”
"How did you develop this habit of not answering the phone?"
"Do you still have me as your mother in your eyes?"
He asked three questions in a row, each one more stern than the last, and each time he put a higher accusation on me.
Shi Jingyuan glanced in the direction of the ward with a puzzled look, and was briefly curious about how this mother and daughter with completely different personalities usually got along with each other.
After Ms. Su finished speaking, Shi Jingyuan cleared his throat and spoke.
"Auntie, I'm from Lin You..." After a pause, he said, "I'm Lin You's colleague."
Ms. Su was obviously surprised. "Colleague? Where's Lin Youren? Why did you answer the phone for her?"
Shi Jingyuan didn't dare to tell her the thrilling story of last night. He could only simply say that Lin You accidentally scratched his hand and was receiving treatment in the hospital.
He had tried his best to make Lin You's condition sound light, but Ms. Su remained silent for a long time.
I don’t know what Ms. Su was thinking about. She sighed deeply and murmured something in a low voice.
"Why are you here again..."
Shi Jingyuan was confused by the incoherent sentence.
However, Ms. Su's reaction was somewhat different from what Shi Jingyuan expected.
She felt more distressed about Lin You's injury, but not curious.
Ms. Su did not ask why Lin You was injured, but only asked for the address of the hospital.
Shi Jingyuan quickly said, "Auntie, you're too far away in Licheng. You don't have to come all the way here. Her injuries have been treated. I can..."
"I'm in Jinggang City now, at the door of her apartment." Ms. Su interrupted him.
Shi Jingyuan was stunned. "Uh... then I'll come pick you up?"
Ms. Su was indeed unfamiliar with Jinggang City and was hesitant. "Is this convenient?"
Shi Jingyuan's face was expressionless. "Convenient."

In the dream, Lin You ran for an unknown amount of time before being caught by Ms. Su who was chasing her to give her an injection.
A syringe thicker than her arm stabbed her face hard, causing her to open her eyes in horror.
The pure white ceiling comes into view, and the familiar smell of the hospital.
Ms. Su's voice rang in my ears, "Finally woke up. If you continue to sleep, the sun will set."
Lin You was shocked. How come he had hallucinations after waking up from a sleep?
She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ms. Su sitting beside the bed peeling an apple.
"Mom?" Lin You's voice was a little dry. "Why are you here?"
Ms. Su did not stop moving her hands.
"I told you last time that I was coming to Jinggang City for business training, so I came to see you. I waited at your apartment door for a long time but didn't see you. Luckily, I was able to contact your colleague."
Lin You was a little confused. "My colleague? Who?"
Ms. Su was about to answer when Shi Jingyuan appeared at the door of the ward carrying several lunch boxes.
"Speak of the devil. Xiaoxiao is back so soon."
When Ms. Su saw Shi Jingyuan, she greeted him warmly and said to Lin You:
"Thanks to Ren Xiao, not only did he take care of everything for you in the hospital, he even drove to the apartment to pick me up personally."
She kept saying "shixiao" and it took a while for Lin You to realize that the "shixiao" she was calling was Shi Jingyuan.
This name...
Lin You twitched the corner of his mouth, "Mom, this is my boss, you have to call him Mr. Shi."
Ignorance is truly bliss. In this Jinggang City, there are probably not many people who can call Shi Jingyuan like this.
Shi Jingyuan placed the lunch box on the small table beside him, with a humble smile on his face that Lin You had never seen before.
"Auntie, don't listen to her. You can call me whatever you want. I think it's more intimate when I call her Xiaoshi."
Ms. Su praised him a few more times and placed the cut apple in front of him.
"Then you're welcome, Auntie. Thank you for your hard work, come and have an apple."
Shi Jingyuan thanked him, but did not eat immediately. Instead, he poured a glass of warm water and walked to the bedside.
"You just woke up, would you like some water to moisten your throat?"
His gentle tone and doting attitude made Ms. Su beside him suddenly understand something.
She looked at Shi Jingyuan, then at Lin You, and was suddenly filled with emotion, and the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Ms. Su raised her hand between the two of them and took the cup of water.
"Let me feed her."
Shi Jingyuan's hand froze in the air before he could retract it, his expression unchanged.
Coincidentally, Shi Jingyuan's phone rang and he left the ward to answer it.
As soon as he left, Ms. Su slapped Lin You on the back of the head.
Even though she had controlled her strength, Lin You was still confused by her actions.
"Ms. Su, do you think my injury is not serious enough?"
Ms. Su took two deep breaths. "I'm warning you, you already have Xiao Cheng, so you can't have two girlfriends at the same time! If you do something like this, even if Lao Lin is gone, I will beat you up for him!"
Even Lao Lin moved out, which shows how much Ms. Su's emotions fluctuated.
Lin You was speechless for a moment and quickly explained, "It's not what you think! Mr. Shi and I have nothing to do with each other!"
Ms. Su glared at him, "Do you think I'm blind? I didn't mean that when I treated you like that when I was little. How could you run away?"
Lin You's face flashed with a hint of guilt, and he said hesitantly, "He meant that, but I didn't agree, did I? Mom, don't worry, Mr. Shi...is not suitable for me. I know that very well."
Her answer barely satisfied Ms. Su, and her anger dissipated a little.
Ms. Su: “By the way, do you remember what happened when you were injured?”
Lin You's eyes darkened and he shook his head.
Ms. Su's face was filled with worry. "You haven't had any unexplained injuries in two years. How come you're in this situation again? Have you been under a lot of pressure lately?"
Lin You has been quite busy recently, but when it comes to pressure, he doesn't feel much.
After all, she has no desires or demands, and it is enough for her to support herself and Hu Baoer.
This time, he encountered a special situation, but Lin You did not dare to tell Ms. Su about this special situation.
"Maybe I'm a little tired recently. I should be fine after a few days of rest."
Ms. Su curled her lips coldly, "You're a doctor? If you say it's okay, it's okay?"
Lin You: “…”
"By the way, you're injured, why doesn't Xiao Cheng come over?"
Ms. Su was extremely shrewd and quickly discovered the loophole in this matter.
Lin You spoke without blushing or panting, "He's on a business trip for a very important project. My minor injury isn't enough to disturb him."
She had already said it, so she just had to secretly give Cheng Hao her confession while Ms. Su wasn't paying attention.
It’s a pity that the devil is always one step ahead of you.
Ms. Su has already picked up her phone and is looking through her address book.
"No matter how important the project is, there's still time to answer the phone, right? As someone's girlfriend, you should give them enough right to know."
"Besides, if he finds out that it was Xiao who took care of you in the hospital, it would cause misunderstandings, which would be terrible."
