The car started moving slowly.
Li Baobei felt her face burning hot. "He Ji actually hugged her!"
Moreover, the embrace felt so familiar; she even felt a strong urge to immerse herself in its warmth.
She lowered her head, remained silent, and blushed as if on fire, the color spreading from her cheeks to her ears.
He You glanced at her and saw her burning red earlobes, and his heart trembled.
This doesn't feel good; it's even a bit suffocating.
Li Baobei said softly, "My apartment complex is near Huaqiong Street. Manager He, please take me to that area. Thank you!"
Her voice was very soft. He You raised her eyes slightly, but did not say anything.
As the car drove through the streets, the bustling streets were lined with tall buildings and flashing neon lights, and Li Baobei was momentarily stunned by what she saw.
It was only gradually that I realized the car wasn't heading towards the apartment.
But the streets were still familiar. "This...this is the way to the hospital!" Li Baobei turned to look at He You.
He You felt a little tense under his sudden gaze. The Adam's apple on his taut throat bobbed slightly, as if it were a silent call, revealing his restrained strength.
The car slowly came to a stop, and He You remained silent.
Li Baobei swallowed hard in surprise and said, "Thank you, Manager He, I can handle this myself."
As she spoke, she immediately untied her condom and tried to get off the bus.
"Hiss~" The pain in her foot brought her back to her senses, and she frowned deeply. It would be absurd if she could walk in like this.
She was embarrassed and at a loss for what to do.
He You got up and got out of the car, walking steadily toward her car door.
He gently picked her up with the same movements, closed the car door, and drove towards the hospital.
Li Baobei was so shocked she couldn't speak. "Today was truly outrageous. Mom opened the door, and it was really outrageous."
"Manager Bingchuan actually carried himself to the hospital? Nobody would believe that?"
Li Baobei knew that she couldn't do anything in her current state, so she could only trouble He Ji.
"I must treat him to a meal another day to thank him properly."
She thought to herself.
Orthopedics department of the hospital.
Li Baobei lay quietly on the hospital bed, an IV drip attached to her arm. She shook her head helplessly, "I was only gone for less than three months, and I'm back in here. I hate hospitals."
She secretly grumbled, feeling like she'd really run into trouble with the hospital this year.
He You slowly walked in, holding some papers in her hand, which should be the doctor's prescription.
He stood there, his posture upright, like a pine tree.
At first glance, she was drawn to his imposing presence; his broad, powerful shoulders seemed capable of shielding her from all storms.
He was also extremely good-looking, handsome and dashing, with deep eyes, sword-like eyebrows that slanted upwards to his temples, and lips that were taut into a straight line, exuding an indescribable masculine charm.
Li Baobei would often stare blankly at He Ji's figure, as if there was someone's shadow on him, but she couldn't remember who that person was.
Whenever she tried to think further about that image in her mind, a headache would surge like a tidal wave, like gusts of violent wind violently impacting her head.
Every nerve seemed to be throbbing violently, as if being burned by flames, making it impossible for her to continue thinking.
He Ji noticed the pain on her face and quickly went over to her, his voice unusually panicked, "Are you still feeling unwell? Should I call the doctor again?"
Li Baobei snapped out of her reverie and met He Ji's gaze. She felt a sudden rush of heat to her head, and her face flushed instantly. She said softly, "I'm fine, just a little tired."
He Ji remained silent for a while, then Li Baobei continued, "Manager He, thank you for your help today, but... I might need to take a few days off."
She looked at He You and smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, sparkling with a captivating light.
He Ji was somewhat dazed. He placed the form in his hand on the table next to the hospital bed and remained silent.
Li Baobei felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and subconsciously said, "Manager He, you should go back first! I can manage on my own."
With a warm smile still on her face, He Ji's voice was slightly low and hoarse: "I'll leave after your family arrives."
His expression was indifferent, and he raised his eyes but did not look at her, as if intentionally avoiding her.
"Family..." Li Baobei murmured, her voice tinged with sadness.
“She has no family. Her beloved mother has passed away, and she only has one friend.”
"But we can't trouble Lu Yao with everything! That would be too awkward."
He You glanced at her and saw the sadness in her eyes, but he didn't know why.
Li Baobei composed herself, concealing the sadness in her heart, and casually said, "Haha~ My family will be here soon, Manager He, you should go first! Otherwise, it might be difficult to explain later..."
A faint look of embarrassment gradually appeared on her face. He Ji understood what she meant and said, "Hmm."
"Come back to work when you're better." With that, he turned and walked out.
Li Baobei's pupils dilated instantly. "This... he's given me permission to take leave?"
Three seconds later: "Yay~ Lord He is indeed cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
Li Baobei beamed with joy and couldn't help but analyze He Ji, "So he's such a good person! He's really great!"
"Hmm?" Something feels off. "Why am I calling him Lord He?"
Li Baobei scratched her head in confusion, looking out the window in bewilderment. "Have I been watching too many period dramas? It's really strange that I can just blurt out 'Lord He' like that."
