"Luckily, Xiao Ran came to see you today. If it were just us at home, I don't know what I would have done. Once you're better, you must thank Xiao Ran properly."
Upon hearing Xiao Ran's name, Wen Lu's eyes darkened. She roughly guessed why her heart had suddenly ached so much; it was probably because the original owner's expectations of her Xiao Ran brother had been shattered.
"Yes, we should thank him properly..." If it weren't for him, the original owner wouldn't have died, and she wouldn't have come here.
Late at night, Wen Lu changed her clothes and walked out of the ward. She had completely merged with this body and could feel her body's condition. Although her body was not in good condition, she should not experience that critical situation again if she was not stimulated.
As soon as Wen Lu stepped out of the ward, she heard the sound of a door opening behind her. She turned around and looked in the direction from which the sound came, and her eyes met a pair of dark eyes.
Wang Jinyu looked at the girl standing at the end of the corridor, his brows twitching slightly involuntarily. He hadn't expected to run into this girl again in this place.
What are you doing here?
Upon hearing the man's familiar voice, Wen Lu immediately recognized him. She turned around, leaned lazily against the wall, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so resilient. You're in good health and recovering quite well. You're able to get out of bed so quickly."
Wen Lu's clear eyes held a faint smile. She had rescued this man, and seeing him standing here unharmed, she felt she had done a good deed and no longer needed to worry about her fortune being affected.
"Thanks to you, young lady, without your help, I might have died there long ago."
Wang Jinyu knew how dangerous his situation was yesterday. If it weren't for this little girl who suddenly appeared, he probably wouldn't be alive today.
She never expected this man to say such sweet things today; she still vividly remembered the words he used to criticize her yesterday.
However, she had already avenged herself yesterday, so she didn't want to hold a grudge against him today.
"No need for thanks, those were just things I did on the side..."
"Gurgle..."
Before Wen Lu could finish speaking, her stomach rumbled with hunger. Dinner had been too bland for her, and she was feeling quite hungry. She had come out specifically to buy something to eat.
"Are you hungry? Let me take you out to eat. Many hotels are closed at this time."
Looking into Wen Lu's bright and innocent eyes, Wang Jinyu smiled gently, walked to Wen Lu's side, and unceremoniously took her wrist, leading her outside.
Wen Lu originally wanted to shake off the large, beautiful, and slender hand with distinct knuckles on her wrist, but thinking of his injuries, she didn't make any move and let him lead her out.
Sensing the faint scent of mint mixed with a hint of medicine on the man, Wen Lu kindly offered a reminder.
"You shouldn't tear your wounds open again, otherwise they'll be hard to heal."
Wen Lu performed the surgery on Wang Jinyu herself. She knew about the two penetrating wounds on his body. Logically, he should be resting in bed right now.
“It’s okay. As long as you don’t move around, I won’t have a chance to get hurt again. I haven’t asked you yet how you ended up in the hospital area. Do you have anyone in your family hospitalized here? Ling He is my friend. I can ask him to help take care of you.”
Hearing that Ling He was his friend, Wen Lu was not surprised at all. She just smiled softly and said, "No one in my family is hospitalized. I was just worried about you, so I came to check on you. I didn't expect to actually find you."
Looking at Wang Jinyu's profile, Wen Lu suddenly had the idea of teasing him. Since no one knew her identity, it shouldn't be too much to play around with him, right?
Hearing Wen Lu's utterly deceitful words, Wang Jinyu chuckled softly. He turned his head and looked down at Wen Lu, speaking gently, "If you were a little more sincere, I might believe you."
Wen Lu, who had been exposed, showed no embarrassment whatsoever. She smiled at Wang Jinyu, then suddenly stopped and used her free hand to grab the collar of Wang Jinyu's coat, causing him to bend over unexpectedly.
The moment Wang Jinyu bent down, Wen Lu tiptoed and gently kissed the corner of Wang Jinyu's lips before quickly releasing him and taking a step back.
"So, do you believe me now?"
When the young girl ambushed him, Wang Jinyu's cold eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flashing in them, but he quickly concealed it.
"Stop fooling around, aren't you hungry? I'll take you to get steak. There's a Western restaurant nearby that's pretty good."
"No, what's so great about steak? Let's go eat barbecue. The barbecue in Harbin is delicious."
Wen Lu pulled her hand away from Wang Jinyu's. She could tell that this man had no interest in her whatsoever. She preferred relationships based on mutual consent, and she wasn't interested in forced connections.
Wen Lu walked ahead, with Wang Jinyu following behind. Looking at Wen Lu's lonely figure, he felt a sense of belonging for some reason.
Just then, Wang Jinyu's phone rang. He took it out of his pocket, glanced at the caller ID, and answered the call somewhat impatiently.
"Hey, Yu-ge, where did you go? Why aren't you resting in your hospital room? Why are you running around everywhere?" Ling He's booming voice came through the phone.
"I'm having barbecue outside, do you want to come over?"
Rubbing his ears, which had been shaken, Wang Jinyu completely ignored Ling He's accusations and asked in a somewhat casual tone.
Upon hearing about eating barbecue, Ling He sighed helplessly. He was speechless; he couldn't imagine why this guy would suddenly go eat barbecue while injured.
"Send me an address, and I'll come find you right now."
When Ling He arrived, he saw two people sitting in the private room, a man and a woman, both of whom he knew.
"Lu Bao? What are you doing here? Do you two know each other? Or did you two escape from the clinic together to eat barbecue?"
Ling He stared at the scene before him in disbelief. When he heard Wang Jinyu mention eating barbecue, he was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
Seeing the two of them eating barbecue face to face, he was even more shocked. He never imagined that Wen Lu would be sitting with Wang Jinyu eating barbecue.
Wen Lu ignored Ling He. She was feeling inexplicably irritable and didn't want to talk to anyone. She just wanted to eat her fill and go back to sleep.
Also, she didn't like the nickname "Lu Bao" because she didn't think they were that familiar with each other.
