Chapter 324: Alone Together
Lu Chen frowned and thought, it seems these people don’t know him.
After Xu Nuo comes back to work, he will have to come over to pick them up a few times so that they can figure out whose man he is.
The discussions of these people made Lin Ya blush and even feel a little embarrassed. She lowered her voice and said, "Brother Lu Chen, I'm so sorry... They just like to match people up randomly."
Lu Chen didn't even frown, he just said "hmm" softly, and his arm behind her was as steady as a rock.
Qin Huayun, who was following behind, heard all the discussions such as "a talented man and a beautiful woman" and "a match made in heaven", and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.
She looked calmly at her son Lu Chen's broad back and Lin Ya lying on his back - what a perfect couple they were.
Compared to Xu Nuo who always gave her a headache, the well-educated and well-mannered girl in front of him was more worthy of Lu Chen.
This thought brought a long-lost warmth to her chest, and even her steps became lighter.
When they arrived at Lin Ya's house, Lu Chen bent down and gently placed the person on the bed, moving with such care as if he was treating a fragile item.
Lin Ya felt warm in her heart and whispered, "Thank you."
"I'm your brother, why are you being polite to me?" Lu Chen poured another cup of warm water and placed it on the bedside table within reach, "Just lie down and have a good rest."
Lin Ya lowered her eyes and two strings of tears rolled down.
"What's wrong?" Lu Chen saw that she was crying, so he asked her, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Lin Ya raised her eyes, her beautiful eyes sparkling with tears: "Nothing, I just feel so good having you around."
Lu Chen curled his lips and said concisely: "Don't think too much, I'll go fix the water pipe."
When Qin Huayun came in, Lu Chen had already gone to the kitchen with a wrench.
Qin Huayun thought this was a good opportunity and tried hard to create conditions for the two.
She spoke with a loving smile on her face, "Xiaoya, Auntie will go back to prepare the meal. When Lu Chen is done repairing, ask him to carry you over to eat."
Lin Ya hurriedly said: "Auntie Lin, don't bother me so much, I can get up and cook after a rest."
"How long has it been since you had the surgery? Your body is still very weak. You must take good care of yourself and don't try to be stubborn." Qin Huayun said.
Lin Ya looked embarrassed: "Originally, I wanted to treat Brother Lu Chen to a meal to thank him..."
Qin Huayun: "It doesn't matter who invites."
When leaving, Qin Huayun reminded Lu Chen: "Take good care of Lin Ya. I'm going back to cook first."
Lu Chen didn't even turn his head, just said "hmm".
After going out, Qin Huayun smiled.
She was so grateful to Lin Ya. Not only did she save Xu Nuo, but she also created some space for her and Lu Chen, mother and son, to get along.
Lu Chen was squatting in the bathroom repairing the sewer. The weather was too hot, and the back of his shirt was slightly soaked with sweat, outlining his strong shoulder lines.
Lin Ya leaned against the door frame, breathing softly because of the pain from her wound.
Hearing the movement behind him, Lu Chen turned around suddenly and saw Lin Ya standing behind him. He asked, "Why aren't you lying down?"
Lin Ya handed over a glass of water and said softly, "Brother Lu Chen, it's hot, have a drink of water."
Lu Chen looked at her pale face, her thin body leaning against the door frame, as if she would slip at any time. He immediately stood up, took the cup with his clean hand, drank it all, and handed the cup to her: "Go back and rest."
Lin Ya turned around and walked back, but her hasty movement caused the wound to move, causing her to stumble. She screamed and fell forward uncontrollably.
Lu Chen reacted extremely quickly, jumping up from the ground almost instantly and grabbing the corner of her clothes.
But the wound was still touched during the pulling. Lin Ya gasped in pain, and a small patch of bright red gradually spread on her clothes.
"Go to the hospital." Lu Chen's voice was tense, and he picked her up without saying a word.
"Wait!" Lin Ya held his arm, beads of sweat oozing from her face which turned pale due to the pain. "I have a medicine box at home, please help me get it. There is a suture kit in it..."
Lu Chen frowned: "This requires a professional doctor to handle it."
"I'm a doctor," Lin Ya forced a smile, "It's a cracked epidermis... It's too much trouble to go to the hospital... Go ahead, I know my limits."
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, then he took the medicine box according to the location she indicated.
"Please help me disinfect my hands." Lin Ya leaned on the bed. At this moment, the wound on her abdomen had split open, and the pain made her sweat profusely.
Lu Chen carefully wiped her hands with alcohol cotton and handed her the suturing tools one by one.
He watched Lin Ya thread the needle skillfully. Although her movements were steady, her fingertips trembled slightly due to the pain.
"Please..." Lin Ya hesitated for a moment, and her face showed difficulty. "Brother Lu Chen, can you help me unbutton my shirt?"
As if she was afraid that Lu Chen would misunderstand, and afraid that he would refuse, she hurriedly added: "I have disinfected it, it is not convenient to unbutton it with one hand."
Lu Chen's Adam's apple moved and he walked forward silently.
When his fingers touched the first button, he felt a slight tremor under the fabric.
As the buttons were undone one by one, a hideous scar was exposed in front of him, and the stitches crawled on the pale skin like a centipede.
At this moment, Lu Chen's mood was very complicated and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
Lin Ya did not miss his gaze. She took in Lu Chen's expression, lowered her eyes, and whispered, "Thank you."
She had originally wanted to seduce Lu Chen, but found that it didn't work for him.
He was really a gentleman, and he always treated her as a sister, deliberately keeping a distance from her. If she hadn't been injured, he would definitely not agree to such a request.
However, it was good just now. She wanted Lu Chen to have this complex emotion - heartache, regret, and guilt towards her.
That's enough.
The wound was on the abdomen, so Lu Chen didn't want to look at it for long and turned away.
"If you need me, just call me for help."
"Okay." Lin Ya agreed.
Soon, Lu Chen heard her groaning through clenched teeth and her rapid breathing... When the last "click" of the scissors was heard, Lin Ya let out a long breath.
"Okay." Her voice was as light as a wisp of smoke.
When Lu Chen turned around, Lin Ya had already buttoned her clothes.
Her face was covered in cold sweat, but her lips were abnormally red, as if they had been bitten and were bleeding.
Lu Chen's chest tightened: "I'm sorry, I didn't take good care of you."
"It's none of your business." Lin Ya forced a smile and stretched out her hand to him, "Can you help me lie down?"
He placed his palm on her sweaty back, feeling the thin spine beneath her clothes.
Lin Ya let out a very soft sigh as she lay down: "These feel much better."
Lu Chen looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly turned and left.
"Brother Lu Chen, where are you going?" Lin Ya saw that he looked a little strange and asked him hurriedly.
"You take a rest." Lu Chen turned his head and said to her, "I'm going out for a while and will be back soon."
Lin Ya asked hurriedly: "Where are you going?"
Lu Chen said: "Just do something, it will be quick."
