The hand that now fell in his palm was white and tender, with slender fingers, and was almost entirely wrapped in his palm. Because the thick calluses on his palm were too rough, it trembled slightly when being rubbed.
Lu Yuanting's whole body tensed up slightly. He turned around and looked at Jiang Xia.
He seemed to be confused as to why this person, who usually was as scared as a rabbit and hid aside when he saw her, would now take the initiative to hold his hand.
He didn't even dare to use too much force to pull his hand back, but he still saw that the back of Jiang Xia's hand was slightly reddened by the thick calluses on his palm.
Lu Yuanting suddenly stopped what he was doing, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he looked at the person standing in front of him.
More delicate than he thought.
Delicate.
"I was wearing a white dress with ruffles when I fell into the water. After entering the water, the dress stuck to my body and was almost transparent." Jiang Xia spoke, looking up at Lu Yuanting.
"I fell into the water and was choked by the water and passed out. The hospital was quite far away from where I fell into the water. When I woke up, I felt a dull pain in my ribs, so you performed CPR on me and tried to help me breathe." Jiang Xia's voice was clear, and she kept looking at Lu Yuanting while saying these words.
"You, aren't you prepared to take responsibility?" Jiang Xia spoke, her cheeks slightly flushed. She really mustered up the courage to say these words. After all, men and women are very cautious these days. Even if Lu Yuanting was trying to save people, it was considered a very intimate act.
Lu Yuanting fell silent. He frowned and looked at Jiang Xia who was still holding his hand and refused to let go. He felt a little anxious. He could obviously shake it off with a little effort, but for some reason, he couldn't muster any strength at all.
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who would pester you. I won't tell anyone what happened after you fell into the water, nor will I use this as a threat to force you to marry me, and I won't cause trouble for Shen Yicheng and tell him about this to affect your relationship. I, Lu Yuanting, am not such a lowly and shameless person." Lu Yuanting said with a sullen face.
She only thought that Jiang Xia mentioned these for Shen Yicheng, fearing that Shen Yicheng would misunderstand and dislike his contact, testing him. The so-called responsibility also meant that he was responsible for the future relationship between her and Shen Yicheng.
Without waiting for Jiang Xia to say anything, Lu Yuanting quickly left the ward. Jiang Xia could only stand in the ward helplessly and look at Lu Yuanting's back. If it was in the past, she might have misunderstood that Lu Yuanting hated her and avoided her, but now she only saw forbearance in Lu Yuanting.
He felt that she disliked him, so he took the initiative to avoid her.
Thinking about his past words and actions, Jiang Xia sighed.
Never mind, there is still a long way to go.
"Comrade, have you seen the patient on this bed?" A young man walked into the ward and was startled when he saw Jiang Xia. After his eyes fell on Jiang Xia's face, he quickly looked away, feeling very embarrassed.
The person in front of him was really too beautiful. At first glance, she was a spoiled young lady with beautiful facial features, a pair of round and innocent almond eyes, ink-black pupils that were particularly bright, and black and shiny hair. Unlike other girls who had pigtails, her hair was permed, which made her look very playful and pretty. He didn't know how to use adjectives, so a fairy was just like this.
"Are you Lu Yuanting's teammate?" Jiang Xia asked, looking at the visitor's attire.
"Yes, I heard that Captain Lu was injured while saving people, so I came to visit him." The young man nodded. He came to visit someone, and it was not appropriate for him to stay in the ward with the girl without her presence seeing him. He turned around and was about to leave.
"I am the one your Captain Lu rescued. I want to repay him for saving my life, but he is gone and I can't find him. Comrade, can you bring something to me?" Jiang Xia said.
