She emphasized it again with a serious look on her face: "Really."
Xu Zhi nodded. He didn't want to force her to give any explanation, nor did he want to break the thin shell she had built up right away. After all, everyone has their own secrets, let alone someone like them who had only known each other for a short time.
Anyway, he brought her home knowing from the very beginning that she came from an unknown place. As for her identity and background, it had no impact on their short cooperation during this period.
He may not even have the right to worry.
Thinking this way, some behaviors may be over the line.
"It's getting late. You should go to bed early. I'll go back first." Xu Zhi stopped leaning against the car body and turned away without caring about the rain on his clothes from the car body.
"Okay, then...see you tomorrow." Chen Yao opened her mouth belatedly towards his back.
It was not until he was about to reach the gate of the courtyard that Chen Yao seemed to suddenly react and quickly chased after him.
"Xu Zhi." Just as he raised his hand to open the gate, Chen Yao had already caught up with him.
"You're angry? Are you?" she asked with a quick breath.
Xu Zhi's breath paused, his fingertips curled up and unclenched, he put his hand on the door handle again, and said calmly, "I'm not angry."
Chen Yao only felt the dryness in the corner of her mouth welling up again. She pursed her lips and whispered, "I haven't said it yet. Thank you for waiting for me to come back today."
Xu Zhi's expression remained unchanged: "Yeah."
Chen Yao's voice lowered a few notches: "It's been a long time since anyone has waited for me like this. I... am very happy."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Zhi completely let go of his hand on the door handle, like an anchor that had been circling in a whirlpool and finally sank to the bottom.
He thought that at least he had the qualifications to care, so this was not overstepping the bounds.
He slowly turned around, looked at the girl in front of him who was speaking softly with her eyes lowered, and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Chen Yao shook her head, then nodded, "Just... a little injury."
Xu Zhi: "Where is the injury? Has it been treated?"
Chen Yao: "It's on the back shoulder, it's been taken care of."
Xu Zhi glanced at her shoulder a few times before looking away.
Chen Yao: "It's okay, it's not a serious injury and it won't affect our training tomorrow."
Xu Zhi sighed imperceptibly, "So, am I some kind of wicked employer?"
Chen Yao: "Huh? Ah... No, that's not what I meant. I really think this little injury won't affect training."
Xu Zhi: "Let's go."
Chen Yao didn't quite understand: "Where...?"
Xu Zhi gestured to the house and said, "I'll get you some medicine."
......
In the house.
Chen Yao looked at the bottles and jars of medicine for different uses that Xu Zhi had carefully sorted out, and thought that her wound was really...really just a minor wound!
"Well...the injury on my back is not that serious," she explained.
Xu Zhi: "Take it first."
Chen Yao: "Okay."
She had no choice but to put all the bottles and jars into her arms and hold them tightly.
Before returning to the room, she suddenly approached him quietly and asked in a low voice with some embarrassment: "By the way, you should not be angry now, right?"
Xu Zhi hummed vaguely.
Then, as if realizing he was being tricked, he added, "I wasn't angry."
Chen Yao held the bottles and jars and subconsciously tilted her head to look at him, "Well, good night."
Xu Zhi's ears had already quietly turned red, "Well, good night."
After Shen Yao left, Xu Zhicai thought silently in his heart: I'm not angry, I'm worried.
