Qin Yang pursed his lips and remained silent.
Jiang Shuhe was extremely disappointed in him, but seeing his pale face, she couldn't bear to say anything more to him.
"Take your medicine first," Jiang Shuhe said, handing the Chinese medicine to Qin Yang.
Qin Yang took the bowl and drank the Chinese medicine as if it were water, without even frowning.
It was almost nine o'clock when Zhou Cailian arrived.
Jiang Shuhe was happy to see her coming over and briefly told her about Qin Yang's injury.
Qin Yang accidentally arrested a group of drug dealers this time. Although he made a contribution, he almost lost his life. Jiang Shuhe would rather he not receive any credit and just hope that he can live a peaceful life.
"He was stabbed twice in the stomach and once in the back, almost hitting his heart. I was terrified when I got the news that day. Thankfully, he's alright and was just discharged yesterday. Sigh..."
Zhou Cailian's heart pounded as she listened, never expecting Qin Yang to be so badly injured.
"Come in, you two chat for a while. I'll go tidy up the kitchen; I just brewed some medicine for him." Jiang Shuhe intentionally left Zhou Cailian and Qin Yang alone and didn't follow them into the house.
As soon as Zhou Cailian entered the room, she smelled a faint scent of Chinese medicine.
She came to the bedside, looked at Qin Yang's pale lips, and felt a little sorry for him. "Aunt Jiang said you were badly injured. How could you not tell me about such a serious incident?"
"I was afraid you'd worry," Qin Yang replied, moving the blanket further inside to indicate that she should sit down.
Zhou Cailian sat down on the edge of the bed. "Aren't you cold like this?"
Qin Yang was only wearing a down jacket, with his bare chest visible underneath, and a bandage wrapped around his chest could be seen.
Seeing the heartache in her eyes, Qin Yang's expression softened. "I'm not cold."
Zhou Cailian pursed her lips. "Then, does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
The two were only half a meter apart, and the moment their eyes met, the air seemed to thicken.
Zhou Cailian looked away first, "I was wondering why I hadn't seen you come to the shop for breakfast for so many days. If I hadn't called you, I wouldn't have known you were injured."
Qin Yang's lips curled slightly. "This is the first time you've called me on your own initiative."
Zhou Cailian's face flushed, and for a moment she didn't know where to look.
"Is there something you need from me today?" Knowing she was shy, Qin Yang didn't dare tease her.
Zhou Cailian bit her lip, her face flushed as she looked at him, "Qin Yang, are we... considered to be dating?"
Upon asking the question, Zhou Cailian's heart began to race uncontrollably, her face flushed red, and her cheeks burned.
Qin Yang was a little surprised. He hadn't expected her to take the initiative to break the ice.
His smile deepened, and without answering, he gently took her hand. "Comrade Cailian, have I not made it obvious enough?"
Zhou Cailian: "..."
It's obvious...
"Then, then why didn't you say..." Zhou Cailian lowered her head, feeling the man's hand burning hot, her heart pounding even faster, and she began to stammer.
"I'm afraid I'll be too rash and scare you," Qin Yang said in a low voice.
His voice carried a clear hint of laughter.
Zhou Cailian looked up at him, "I'm not that timid..."
Qin Yang looked at her, his gaze softening. "Well, it's because I'm too timid. I've never dared to confess my feelings to you."
Zhou Cailian: "..."
