Lu Zhiyuan came out with a kettle and poured me a cup of hot water.
"Were you scared by the explosion? A lot of things happened today. Li Tao is being taken care of by a nurse. I'll help you check Che Xiaofeng's whereabouts."
Lu Zhiyuan's voice was very gentle, and he said to me like he was coaxing a child, "Don't think too much for now. You didn't sleep well last night. Take a bath tonight and have a good sleep. When your mind is clear, we can discuss the rest of the matter together."
I nodded, my brain really wasn't working right now.
"You sleep in the master bedroom tonight, and I'll sleep in the guest bedroom."
Lu Zhiyuan made his own arrangements, then stood up and walked into the bedroom. When he came out, he had a pair of pajamas in his hand.
He handed me his pajamas and said, "You took all your clothes when you left, so you can only wear my pajamas for now. They're freshly washed."
It seemed like he was afraid that I would dislike him, so he emphasized it on purpose.
I took the pajamas and forced a smile: "Thank you."
I got up and walked into the bathroom, raised my head and let the water wash over my cheeks, just wanting to make myself feel more awake.
After taking a shower, I felt even more tired.
I walked out in my pajamas and saw Lu Zhiyuan busy in the kitchen.
I leaned over, leaned over the door, and asked, "Do you need help?"
"No need." Lu Zhiyuan smiled at me, "Just sit for a while, I'll be done soon."
I didn't bother to be polite with him, I was really too tired.
It's not the physical fatigue, but the heavy pressure in my heart that makes me almost breathless.
I leaned on the sofa and waited for him to prepare the meal. As I waited, I fell asleep on the sofa without realizing it.
While I was half asleep, I vaguely felt myself being picked up and then put down.
I woke up suddenly, opened my eyes and met Lu Zhiyuan's distressed gaze.
"Did it wake you up?"
I shook my head and looked around. It was him who carried me into the bedroom.
I propped myself up on the bed and sat up, then sheepishly apologized to him, "I'm sorry, I wanted to wait for you to finish cooking, but somehow I fell asleep."
Lu Zhiyuan didn't sleep all night last night, and followed me to the construction site during the day today. He was obviously more tired than me, but he still cooked for me. However, I fell asleep. It really went against his intentions.
I pulled myself together and asked, "Is the meal ready? Let's go eat."
I stood up to get out of bed, but he pushed me back down.
"Don't move. Rest if you're tired. It's just a meal. If it gets cold, you can heat it up. If it doesn't, I can make it again for you."
His tone was domineering, yet it revealed a sense of security.
When our eyes met, I couldn't help but recall how well he had always taken care of me.
For some reason, my heart trembled slightly, and my eyes were red with tears, moved by his doting.
It turns out that when I was at my most vulnerable, I always wanted him to be by my side.
He coaxed me gently: "Be good and go to sleep."
He helped me lie down, covered me with a blanket, and stayed by my side all the time.
"Go to sleep, I'm here with you."
Looking at him, I felt mixed emotions.
I am very sleepy, but at this moment I can't bear to close my eyes.
So many things have happened during this period of time. People around me have met with misfortunes because of me. I suddenly feel that I am useless and always dragging others down.
Thinking about this makes my eyes inexplicably sore, and I can't help but reveal my most vulnerable side.
Tears quietly slid down from the corners of her eyes, which made Lu Zhiyuan startled with distress. He took out a tissue to wipe her tears and asked softly, "What's wrong? Why are you crying? Did what happened today scare you?"
