Chapter 204: Has He Bullied You?
After a long journey and fear, Jiang Xu finally had a good night's sleep.
She slept soundly that night and didn't even know how she was put on the bed.
When I opened my eyes, it was already bright outside. The bright African sunshine shone through the window, casting shadows on the wall.
She groaned as she sat up in bed.
There was pain in the knees and shoulders.
My knee was injured when I fell down two days ago, and my shoulder was hit by the butt of a gun by the rebels yesterday while I was trying to protect experimental data.
When he pulled open his collar, he saw a large purple patch on his shoulder.
At this time, footsteps sounded from far away. Jiang Xu straightened his shirt and He Yanting strode in.
He was only wearing a white vest that fit tightly to his body, showing very pleasing muscle lines. He was wearing camouflage pants on his lower body, making him look like a heroic soldier.
Jiang Xu had never seen him dressed like this before and looked him up and down several times.
Then I found that he was holding a tube of ointment in his hand.
He sat down on the bed and, as he unrolled the ointment, said, "Unbutton your shirt."
Jiang Xu frowned: "What?"
He Yanting shook the ointment in his hand: "It promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis."
Jiang Xu finally realized what was happening, but then felt strange again: "How did you know my shoulder was injured?"
He Yanting had a faint smile in his eyes: "What do you think? After you fell asleep last night, I checked you from head to toe."
Jiang Xu's face was slightly hot, and she bit her lip: "You... are a bit too much."
He Yanting said with a matter-of-fact expression: "I can't help it. Since you didn't tell me, I can only check it myself."
After saying that, he paused and asked, "Do you want to untie it yourself, or should I help you?"
Jiang Xu quickly unbuttoned his clothes, revealing his injured shoulder.
He Yanting dipped his fingertips in the ointment and gently massaged the injured area. A cool feeling immediately spread across Jiang Xu's injured area, relieving the pain.
He Yanting's movements were very gentle. As he applied the cream, he reminded her, "Be more careful next time. Don't act recklessly when you encounter uncontrollable situations. Protect yourself first."
Jiang Xu pouted: "They want to steal the experimental data."
He Yanting's eyes darkened and he sighed, "Knee."
Jiang Xu obediently stretched out her legs and placed them on his legs.
He Yanting applied ointment to her knees again, making sure nothing was missed, and then put the medicine away.
"Go wash up, breakfast is ready."
Jiang Xu obediently went to the bathroom to wash up, and saw her clothes hanging there. She smelled them and found that they were all washed, even her underwear.
I touched it and it was almost dry. It must have been washed last night.
Looking back towards the living room, her heart was inexplicably touched.
Breakfast was still local food, but Jiang Xu's appetite was better and he ate a little more than last night.
He Yanting still didn't eat much and spent most of the time watching her eat.
After dinner, Jiang Xu's clothes were almost dry.
At this time, two colleagues appeared at the door. After asking, He Yanting's bodyguard let them in.
"Is Dr. Jiang here?"
Jiang Xu walked out and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
One of them said, "The professor said you don't need to work on the experiment today. Qin Zifei has woken up. You are friends, so we'd like you to take care of him."
When Jiang Xu heard this, his first reaction was to go see He Yanting.
Sure enough, the person who was fine just now immediately looked ugly.
"Okay, I understand."
Jiang Xu nodded in agreement.
The two colleagues expressed their gratitude to He Yanting again and then left.
He Yanting muttered, "Why are you, a woman, taking care of him?"
Jiang Xu looked at him and said, "As they said earlier, Qin Zifei and I are quite familiar with each other. Besides, he was injured while protecting me, so it's only right that I take care of him."
He Yanting pinched his waist, turned around and said nothing.
"Are you angry?"
Jiang Xu asked helplessly.
He Yanting didn't even turn his head: "No."
Jiang Xu chuckled, "Still pretending."
He Yanting remained unmoved and said nothing.
Jiang Xu walked over and poked his waist from behind.
He Yanting ignored her and she continued to poke.
"Ruanruan, stop making trouble."
He Yanting looked back at her unhappily.
Jiang Xu explained, "What are you worried about? If something was going to happen between Qin Zifei and me, it would have happened a long time ago, not now."
He Yanting looked at her for a while and sighed: "For those four years, he was always with you, but I was absent."
Jiang Xu didn't expect him to mention those four years.
Her chest rose and fell slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "How about you stay with me?"
He Yanting sneered, looking disgusted: "I'm going to serve him? Dream on."
"Okay, I'll go by myself then."
Jiang Xu went into the house to change clothes.
He Yanting sat on the steps in front of the door, lit a cigarette, and took a few deep puffs in a depressed manner.
Jiang Xu changed her clothes and came out: "I'm going over."
Unexpectedly, he also stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Jiang Xu raised an eyebrow at him in surprise: "Aren't you not going?"
He Yanting sneered, his face full of disdain: "I'm not going there to serve him, I'm going there to enjoy watching him being tortured, I think it will put me in a good mood."
Jiang Xu: “…”
It takes half an hour to walk to the hospital, and less than ten minutes to drive there. It is much more convenient to go there with He Yanting.
When they arrived at the hospital, they put on masks before getting off the car, and the nurse took them to Qin Zifei's ward.
He Yanting was full of resistance and reluctantly kept some distance from Jiang Xu.
Jiang Xu walked to the bedside and Qin Zifei looked at her.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Qin Zifei smiled, his expression painful: "Not bad."
Jiang Xu's eyes were a little moist: "I'm sorry, you got hurt while protecting me."
Qin Zifei shook his head: "It's nothing, you don't have to feel guilty. Last time before I returned home, I drank too much... I did things I shouldn't have done and said things I shouldn't have said. I'm sure it caused you trouble, so I should apologize to you."
Jiang Xu opened her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect that he really remembered it.
Just when she was too embarrassed to know what to say, a cold voice came from behind her: "You'd better explain clearly what you did and said, otherwise I will have someone throw you into the grassland to feed the lions."
"He Yanting, why are you here?"
Qin Zifei widened his eyes in surprise when he saw the man appearing behind Jiang Xu.
He was in a coma yesterday, so he didn't know it was He Yanting who saved them.
"Ruanruan, what did he do to you?"
He Yanting grabbed Jiang Xu's wrist, his brows knitted tightly. "Did he ever bully you when he was drunk? Tell me, and I'll break his neck right now."
Although Qin Zifei was a little embarrassed, he was also full of hostility towards He Yanting.
His face was full of mockery: "Boss He is too much. When it comes to bullying the weak, if you are second in this world, no one dares to be first."
"Are you looking for death?"
He Yanting's face turned pale when he heard this. He clenched his fists secretly, feeling that he was about to hit Qin Zifei in the face in the next second.
"Hey, could you two stop arguing as soon as you see each other?"
Jiang Xu felt overwhelmed and furious, "If you like to argue so much, then I'm leaving. You two can continue arguing!"
As soon as these words were spoken, He Yanting and Qin Zifei fell silent at the same time.
