Qiao Luosheng awkwardly touched his hair, trying to cover the bruise with his bangs. "It's nothing, I just bumped into the door frame when I went out. After all, I'm so tall..."
Qiao Zhen rushed forward, blocking his hand. When she examined his forehead closely, she noticed that his lip was cut and slightly bluish-purple. "How could a door frame accurately hit your lip?"
She reached out and touched her brother's lips.
"Hiss—" Qiao Luosheng gasped and backed away, frantically avoiding Qiao Zhen's stern gaze.
"What exactly happened?" Qiao Zhen asked, picking up her bag and chasing after him. "I'll take you to the hospital to get checked out. The college entrance exam is coming up soon, and we absolutely can't afford any accidents."
Qiao Luosheng waved his hand dismissively, "I just bumped into the door frame and fell down. Sis, look at me, I'm perfectly fine, what could possibly happen to me?"
Qiao Zhen said seriously, "I won't feel at ease if I don't see a doctor."
There are news reports of people falling and not feeling anything, thinking they're fine, only to develop serious symptoms days later. This serves as a reminder to everyone to be careful when falling and to pay attention to their health.
Although the main target audience is middle-aged and elderly people, Qiao Luosheng is like a precious giant panda in Qiao Zhen's eyes.
She threatened, "I'll tie you up with a rope and take you to the hospital!"
Qiao Luosheng couldn't refuse his older sister, so he had no choice but to go out with her.
No sooner had they left than a furtive figure darted into the building.
Qiao Zhen was in a hurry to get to the hospital, so she fiddled with her phone and called a ride-hailing service.
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I was invaded by darkness, accompanied by the sound of a car horn.
She paused, then stiffly raised her head.
"Are you Ms. Qiao, whose mobile phone number ends in 2105?" the driver asked softly, wearing a mask.
A magnetic voice, when softened, is enough to completely melt one's heart.
Qiao Zhen's heart trembled uncontrollably. She wanted to back away, but Qiao Luosheng had already opened the car door, sat inside, and curiously and excitedly looked at the interior decorations.
Looking around, she found Qiao Zhen still outside the car and waved, "Sis, weren't you in a hurry to get to the hospital? If you're not going, then I'll get out..."
"No, no, no." Qiao Zhen quickly stopped Qiao Luosheng and reluctantly got into the car.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng was still waiting at the entrance of the residential area, and even more unbelievably, he was actually acting like a ride-hailing driver...
Having seen Qiao's mother, and then appearing in front of Qiao Luosheng, Qiao Zhen could have guessed the scoundrel's scheme even with her toes.
The first time she sat in the back seat, she could only see half of Lu Zheng's face, and most of it was covered by his mask.
Looking in the rearview mirror, I could see his eyebrows and eyes. Gone was the kind and friendly smile from before; he had become cold and serious again.
She glared at her.
Lu Zheng ignored her, saying, "Miss Qiao, your destination is not very clear."
Qiao Zhen hurriedly gave the hospital's name and address, then reluctantly exited the ride-hailing interface on her phone.
The car drove smoothly onto the main road, and Qiao Luosheng asked in surprise, "Uncle driver, ride-hailing services are so powerful now, are people driving Maybachs also out picking up passengers?"
Qiao Zhen noticed that Lu Zheng's eyelids twitched violently, and his eyes turned sinister.
“I’m not that old, call me brother,” Lu Zheng said coldly.
Qiao Zhen suddenly wanted to laugh, and her tense nerves miraculously relaxed.
Her lips twitched a few times, almost ruining her composure, so she quickly pressed them down with her hand.
Suddenly, she met Lu Zheng's gaze through the rearview mirror.
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow at her, seemingly protesting her tacit approval of Qiao Luosheng calling him "uncle".
Qiao Zhen coughed twice and said deliberately, "You're wearing a mask, so it's hard to tell your age. I'm sorry."
Lu Zheng touched the bridge of his nose but didn't take off his mask.
He had met Qiao Luosheng at the police station before, and Qiao Luosheng would recognize him as soon as he revealed his true identity.
He currently has no intention of letting Qiao Luosheng know who he is.
"Uh..." Qiao Luosheng scratched his head, "Driver, how do you feel driving a Maybach for ride-hailing services?"
Lu Zheng replied with three words: "I'm happy."
"Oh—" Qiao Luosheng understood, "Experience life!"
He wasn't a naughty kid, so even if he was interested, he just looked around.
During the evening rush hour on weekends, cars are stuck in long lines on the roads.
The bright red taillights and neon lights reflected in the depths of Lu Zheng's eyes, making him appear more approachable.
"What are you going to the hospital for?" Lu Zheng asked while waiting at a red light.
Qiao Zhen didn't respond, pretending she was looking out the window and hadn't noticed.
Qiao Luosheng was very enthusiastic, "I just accidentally bumped my head, my sister was too nervous."
Lu Zheng said, "She also cares about you."
Qiao Zhen suddenly turned her head and looked at Lu Zheng.
Under the mask, his face was unreadable.
Qiao Luosheng said in a low voice, "My sister is already working very hard, I don't want her to worry too much."
Qiao Zhen's eyes stung slightly as she took his hand.
Lu Zheng said, "If you don't want her to worry, just be careful and study hard."
Qiao Luosheng nodded vigorously, "I will!"
Lu Zheng glanced at the siblings in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Qiao Zhen was surprised that Lu Zheng would so calmly instruct Qiao Luosheng. She recalled the last time at the police station, when the two families' children had a very unpleasant argument.
Qiao Luosheng noticed that his shoelaces were untied and bent down to tie them.
Lu Zheng suddenly turned around, no longer looking at her through the rearview mirror, but looking at her directly, and raised an eyebrow.
Qiao Zhen saw a smile in his eyes, which struck her heart.
"Alright!" Qiao Luosheng straightened up.
The two quickly looked away.
Qiao Zhen saw the face reflected in the car window and couldn't help but smile.
Qiao Luosheng and Lu Zheng discussed the car's condition.
Boys are naturally interested in these kinds of things, but being young, their questions were a bit childish, and Lu Zheng answered them patiently.
The traffic jam wasn't so boring anymore; half an hour later, we arrived at the nearest hospital.
"Thank you, driver!" Qiao Luosheng waved happily to Lu Zheng, completely unaware that he was Lu Xiao's "biological father".
Lu Zheng got out of the car and came to Qiao Luosheng.
"Huh?" Qiao Luosheng asked, confused.
Lu Zheng said, "I'm logging off and not taking any more orders. I'll accompany you to see the doctor."
Qiao Luosheng asked, dumbfounded, "Why?"
“We click.” Lu Zheng glanced at Qiao Zhen.
"Really? Hahaha..." Qiao Luosheng nodded, winking at Qiao Zhen, "Sister, the driver is such a good person!"
Qiao Zhen sighed.
Her innocent younger brother had no idea that he was a dog in disguise!
We couldn't send him away, so we tacitly allowed him to walk into the emergency room with the siblings.
After registering, they had to wait a moment. Qiao Luosheng pulled Qiao Zhen to sit in the waiting area. Lu Zheng looked at Qiao Zhen and saw that Qiao Luosheng was to her left and the armrest was to her right. There were no seats left.
He simply moved to Qiao Zhen's right side, crossed his arms and leaned against the wall, stretching his long, straight legs diagonally forward, only a fist's distance from Qiao Zhen's feet.
Qiao Zhen looked at the spotless shoe tips, glared at Lu Zheng, and warned him to behave himself and not cause trouble in public.
Unexpectedly, after she glared at him, her shoe was gently bumped by something.
