As he approached, he glanced at Chi Ze's arm which was tightly wrapped around Xie Shizhu.
Xie Shizhu was slightly startled. She had just been trying to suppress the pain, but now it seemed as if she had found a safe haven. She pushed Chi Ze away and turned around to throw herself into Jiang Yuhuai's arms. The corners of her eyes were stained red, and she said with a nasal voice, "Boss, I'm fine, but I seem to have caused you some trouble just now."
Jiang Yuhuai looked down at the bruise on her wrist, a hint of coldness flashed across his eyes, and he softly comforted her, "It's okay, let's go take care of your hand first."
His soothing seemed to work, and the woman in his arms nodded obediently, "Okay."
Jiang Yuhuai then slowly raised his head and looked at Chi Ze, "Boss Chi, thank you for your help. So, I'll pay for today's consumption. I'll take my employees to the hospital first, you can go easy."
Chi Ze froze in place. Seeing the difference in how Xie Shizhu treated him and Jiang Yuhuai, he couldn't even breathe properly.
Just now in his arms, Xie Shizhu struggled to leave, but was too proactive when facing Jiang Yuhuai.
This feeling of disparity made his hands and feet cold, as if he was in a world of ice and snow.
Watching Jiang Yuhuai taking Xie Shizhu away, Chi Ze's forced indifference disappeared in an instant, followed by a bitter feeling in his heart.
In the lounge, Jiang Yuhuai pursed his lips and applied medicine to her without saying a word. He also ignored Xie Shizhu's expression of pain caused by the cold medicine.
Xie Shizhu subconsciously pulled back his arm, but Jiang Yuhuai caught it quickly.
She took a breath and whispered, "...It hurts."
After hearing her words, Jiang Yuhuai suddenly looked up, and his eyes, which were usually gentle, were now full of coldness.
"Why don't you think about the consequences when you stand up for others?" Jiang Yuhuai said in a calm voice, "With your ability, do you think you can stand up to the people who spend money here?"
Jiang Yuhuai hated meddling in other people's affairs the most in his life.
Especially the behavior of trying to stop a rock with an egg and overestimating one's own abilities.
Although it is for the so-called justice, the consequences are simply unbearable.
"I..." Xie Shizhu bit his lower lip, "But..."
Jiang Yuhuai frowned slightly, his eyes cold and heartless, "If you do this again in the future, you will not be welcome here."
When Xie Shizhu heard this, his eyes became wet and he stared at Jiang Yuhuai blankly and helplessly.
Her appearance made Jiang Yuhuai feel particularly heavy-hearted.
The two of them were silent for a long time.
Finally, it was Jiang Yuhuai who broke the strange silence: "I'll take you to the hospital."
Xie Shizhu nodded obediently.
When she arrived at the hospital, the doctor said that her condition needed a cast and it looked quite serious. She needed to stay in the hospital for a day for observation. If there was no accident, she would probably be given some medicine and discharged the next day.
Xie Shizhu was forced to lie on the hospital bed. She looked at the plaster on her arm and the hospital gown in silence for a while.
"Boss, I'm fine. I still have to go to work and earn money."
Jiang Yuhuai glanced at her, looked at her for a long time, and said, "I'll give you a day off and won't deduct your salary."
Xie Shizhu's worried expression instantly turned into joy, and he said hurriedly, "Thank you, boss."
Jiang Yuhuai sighed in his heart when he saw her heartless and naive character.
"Have a good rest. I'll pick you up on time tomorrow."
"Okay, boss, please be safe."
Looking at Jiang Yuhuai's leaving back, Xie Shizhu pursed his lips and smiled.
The system said: [Host, why is he so mean to you? He scared me just now.]
Xie Shizhu was half lying on the hospital bed. He picked up the apple on the table beside him and took a bite. He said, "Because he is worried about me."
System: [Huh?]
The sweet and juicy taste of apple spread across Xie Shizhu's taste buds. She gazed at the scenery outside the window, a smile playing on her lips as she said, "He's been hurt and suffered a lot before, and he finally managed to survive. Of course, he doesn't want me to follow in his footsteps."
The system seems to understand, but not quite. After all, human emotions are too complicated for a system to comprehend all at once.

Chi Ze waited until about one o'clock in the morning, but still did not see Xie Shizhu.
He sat in a booth, and occasionally someone came to talk to him, but he seemed to be immersed in his own world. Those who wanted to get close to him had no choice but to retreat.
Chi Ze thought of the time a few hours ago when Xie Shizhu escaped from his arms and turned to throw himself into Jiang Yu's arms, and he felt inexplicably upset.
Because he couldn't wait for Xie Shizhu, he was on pins and needles. He made a phone call and asked someone to check Xie Shizhu's whereabouts.
A few minutes later, he received a message from Xie Shizhu in the hospital.
Chi Ze suddenly panicked and drove to the hospital in a hurry.
Arriving in the ward, Chi Ze tiptoed towards Xie Shizhu, and a warm orange light was turned on in the room.
Xie Shizhu had his arm in a cast and was sleeping on his side.
Her peaceful sleeping face eased Chi Ze's uneasy and restless mood a little.
Xie Shizhu seemed to notice a dark shadow in front of her. She opened her eyelids in fright, and what came into her sight was Chi Ze's face. She was stunned for a moment.
Then, she hurriedly used both hands to support herself on the bed and sat up. However, because her right arm was in a cast, the bruise was hurt when she exerted force, and she frowned in pain.
Chi Ze reflexively held her shoulders and said softly, "Be careful."
Xie Shizhu was slightly startled. He helped her sit up straight, tilting her head back slightly. After looking at his face for a few seconds, her sleepy eyes finally focused. "How did you know I was here?"
Chi Ze was silent for a moment, then lied and said, "Someone saw you go into the hospital and told me."
"...Hmm." Xie Shizhu hesitated, "Then why did you come to the hospital to see me so late at night?"
Chi Ze's thin lips parted, and he pondered for a long time before organizing his words: "I'm sorry, you suffered some bad things because of me in high school."
Xie Shizhu was stunned, her eyes filled with confusion. Then, she smiled with relief, "Is this why you came to me?"
Chi Ze nodded without denying.
Xie Shizhu smiled and said, "It's okay, you don't have to apologize. Don't worry, I don't like you anymore. It won't cause you any trouble, so you don't have to blame yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Zefeng's eyes suddenly darkened, and his whole body exuded a coldness.
When the system saw the changes in Chi Ze, it was so scared that it trembled in Xie Shizhu's consciousness.
[He...he won't turn evil and imprison you, will he? That look in his eyes is so scary.]
Xie Shizhu sneered, "Is that all you have to be brave? Besides, I told you, as long as I'm here, this kind of thing won't happen."
The system said with lingering fear: [However, Chi Ze in the book likes Zhou Yuerou so much, but he still ignores Zhou Yuerou's wishes and continues to treat her coercively...]
Before the system finished speaking, in an instant, Chi Ze was filled with a feeling of powerlessness.
After listening to Xie Shizhu's words, his central nervous system was immediately filled with resentment, but he was suddenly overwhelmed by a deep sense of self-blame.
He clearly wanted Xie Shizhu to stay away from him. In the past, if Xie Shizhu didn't have any feelings for him, he might have felt relieved.
But now...
