Hospital, emergency department.
Qin Wan helped Lu Huai sit down, and she busied herself with various tasks, including paying the bills, taking his temperature, and calling the doctor...
Lu Huai's face was full of complex emotions, a mixture of joy and sorrow.
Only after the IV drip was successfully connected did Qin Wan finally get a chance to catch her breath. She plopped down in the chair next to him and glared at him irritably.
"You have a fever of over 39 degrees Celsius, and you still won't come to the hospital?"
"What? You really want to use this opportunity to completely cling to me?"
"Lu Huai, I'm telling you."
"From now on, no matter if it's a serious illness or a minor ailment, you must take me to the hospital immediately if I get sick!"
"Otherwise, if something really happens to you one day, I won't be able to clear my name even if I jump into the Yellow River!"
Lu Huai looked at Qin Wan with a complicated expression, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Get to the point, don't beat around the bush." Qin Wan squinted at Lu Huai with annoyance.
"...I didn't mean to cling to you on purpose."
"I'm just used to it." Lu Huai pursed his thin lips, a hint of embarrassment in his expression.
"Habit?" Qin Wan was taken aback.
Can you get used to not getting treatment when you're sick?
But then, Qin Wan remembered the scene she had witnessed in the garden downstairs in her apartment complex.
Lu's father, who has violent tendencies, and Lu Huai, who is covered in wounds and curled up on the ground.
And Lu Huai was also out working part-time late at night...
His habit, besides being accustomed to having incurable wounds all over his body.
There must also be financial difficulties...
When he came out of the game pod and found out he had a fever, his first reaction was to go back to his room, cover himself with a blanket, and sleep.
At the time, he didn't even think about soaking himself in cold medicine.
He only relented after she insisted on taking him to the hospital, saying that he would be fine after making himself a cup of cold medicine and taking a nap...
Thinking of this, Qin Wan suddenly felt a surge of irritability and violence.
"You can get an IV drip first, and I'll go get you a cup of hot water to take your medicine."
With that, Qin Wan turned and left under Lu Huai's complicated gaze.
After a busy night, the two returned home at five in the morning, with a faint light appearing on the horizon.
After a quick wash, Qin Wan had just lain down in bed, ready to fall asleep, when a familiar knock sounded at the door…
"Lu Huai?"
"Is something wrong so late?" Qin Wan asked as she got up to open the door.
"How much did your doctor's visit cost? I'll transfer it to you."
Qin Wan looked at him in disbelief, then glanced at the clock on the living room wall.
"So, you went to the trouble of disturbing my sleep and waking me up just for this little thing?"
Under Qin Wan's reproachful gaze, Lu Huai looked helpless. "I... I didn't mean to. I didn't know you were asleep. I just wanted to give you the money..."
Qin Wan glared at him with a dark expression, her gaze unfathomable, and her tone laced with sarcasm, "Do I look like someone who's short of money?"
Lu Huai: "...I know you're not short of money, but that's a different matter from me giving you money."
"I'm the one paying for the medical treatment, and the money is being spent on me, so there's no reason for you to pay for it."
As he spoke, Lu Huai looked at Qin Wan stubbornly, "If you don't tell me, I'll have no choice but to transfer all the money I earned in Kyushu World last night to you."
Qin Wan: "..."
"Eighty-eight yuan." Qin Wan took out a QR code and gestured for Lu Huai to scan it to pay.
Lu Huai looked at her with disapproval, "I want to see the payment screenshot."
"Believe it or not, it's up to you." With that, Qin Wan put away her phone and turned to leave.
Unexpectedly, the moment she moved, a large, slender, fair hand with distinct knuckles grabbed her.
Qin Wan frowned, glaring displeasedly at Lu Huai who had blocked her path.
"Lu Huai, let go."
"good."
Lu Huai's obedient agreement made Qin Wan feel slightly uncomfortable.
The next second, she felt her hand go empty; her phone had somehow appeared in Lu Huai's hand.
Lu Huai quickly found the payment records...
"Two hundred and twenty..."
A hint of heartache flashed in Lu Huai's eyes.
That's why he didn't want to go to the hospital.
The money he earned from working part-time for four or five days was only enough to pay for today's medical expenses.
Even though it hurt his heart, Lu Huai still took out his phone, opened Qin Wan's QR code payment image, and scanned the code to pay.
"Take it."
After handing the phone back to Qin Wan, Lu Huai sighed softly and looked at her seriously, giving her some instructions.
"I know you mean well, but one thing is one thing."
"I'm the one who's sick, and I'm the one who has to pay for the medical treatment. There's no reason for you to pay for it for me."
At this point, Lu Huai paused, then tentatively asked with a troubled expression, "Next time this happens, why don't you let me make some cold medicine at home and try it first?"
"What if my fever breaks the next day? Then I won't have to waste money going to the hospital."
"Of course, if the fever doesn't break by the next day, I will definitely go to the hospital. I promise I won't cause you any trouble or affect you, is that okay?"
Lu Huai asked very seriously and cautiously, his eyes fixed intently on Qin Wan, full of expectation.
Qin Wan: "..."
Qin Wan stared at Lu Huai for a long, long time without saying a word.
After a long while, just when Lu Huai thought she would refuse, she patted his shoulder with a serious expression.
"I'm hungry, go cook me a bowl of noodles."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Huai's phone rang...
Lu Huai was taken aback when he saw the red envelope Qin Wan sent him, and then looked at her with a question mark in his eyes.
What are you doing?
"Labor fee for cooking noodles".
"Alright, stop dawdling and hurry up and cook me some noodles, I'm hungry."
"By the way, remember to cook more, I'm really hungry right now, I have a big appetite."
As she spoke, Qin Wan walked to the sofa, leaned back lazily, crossed her arms, and stared at Lu Huai with great interest.
Lu Huai: "..."
"If you don't accept the red envelope, then I'll just have to order takeout. After all, I can't take advantage of you, can I?"
"Takeout is neither hygienic nor nutritious, and it's ridiculously expensive."
"Why are you looking at me like that? Didn't you just say it yourself? You're the one who's sick, there's no reason for me to pay for it."
"I'm the one who needs to eat now, so there's no reason for you to work for nothing."
Lu Huai: "..."
In the end, Lu Huai accepted the red envelope with a look of annoyance, turned around and went into the kitchen, where he dutifully cooked noodles for Qin Wan.
Qin Wan lay on the sofa, watching Lu Huai's busy figure in the kitchen with a smug look on her face.
mock up.
I still want to fight her.
So you're going to be so calculating?
Do you want to be so clear about separating yourself from her?
OK!
She will definitely satisfy him!
She'll make him a fortune, and he'll have no choice but to obediently serve her until he's completely satisfied!
Thinking of this, Qin Wan hugged a cushion, lazily lay down on the sofa, and rested with her eyes half-closed.
Lu Huai cooks noodles quite quickly...
But when he brought out a bowl of clear soup noodles that looked and smelled delicious, Qin Wan was still asleep on the sofa.
Looking at her peaceful sleeping face, Lu Huai was first taken aback, then sighed softly.
She really had absolutely no guard up against him...
Do you really trust him that much...?
Lu Huai walked to the sofa with a complicated expression and squatted down.
