Huo Ye gently rested his head on Yun Lian's shoulder.
"Perhaps the company's reforms are too rapid, and he can't adapt to them in time."
It was only then that Yun Lian noticed that Huo Ye's right hand was bandaged.
She remembered that Huo Ye was only stabbed in the lower back. Could it be that Huo Ye was injured somewhere else that she hadn't noticed?
But asking this question made it seem like she didn't trust Huo Ye, and besides, what good would it do Huo Ye to have his right hand injured?
No normal person would fake being injured.
Yun Lian put him on the dining table and realized that although Huo Ye was clumsy at eating with his left hand, it wasn't too bad.
Yun Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
She can manage to help occasionally, but if it involves every little detail, she might break down.
The Huo family's nanny always appeared and disappeared without a trace. When there was nothing for them to do, she would vanish without a trace, but when there was work to be done, she could appear from all sorts of unexpected places.
Yun Lian was somewhat distracted while eating.
Why has Song Zhu's mission taken so long? There's been no news of her for so long, she almost thought Song Zhu was in danger.
With five months left, perhaps she should end things with Song Zhu. A man like him shouldn't be saddened by her future.
Yun Lian barely finished her dinner and lay on the sofa, lost in thought.
Huo Ye used his intact hand to hand a towel to cover Yun Lian.
"Don't stay out too late, take care of your health."
After Huo Ye finished speaking, he went to the bathroom. Yun Lian saw that he was struggling to carry his pajamas and then belatedly realized that he was injured.
Yun Lian jumped up from the sofa with a start.
"Huo Ye, you have injuries and cannot get wet."
"It's really uncomfortable not to wash."
Yun Lian knew that he took a bath every day, even when he was drunk; once he almost drowned in the bathtub when he was drunk.
"Can I wipe your body? The doctor said it will affect the healing."
Huo Ye's eyes flashed as he tentatively gazed at Yun Lian.
"I can't clean many areas, the housekeeper is on leave, and I don't like unfamiliar people touching me."
"Shall I wipe it for you?"
Huo Ye's ears turned red.
"good."
Watch as he awkwardly walked into the bathroom.
Yun Lian always felt like a tyrannical ruler who was blinded by beauty.
Huo Ye's body was covered in a thin layer of red. When Yun Lian wiped his body, she would occasionally let out a muffled groan if she didn't control her strength properly.
Yun Lian launched a direct attack.
"Huo Ye, do you really like me?"
Huo Ye nodded when he saw that she wasn't mocking him.
"I like it very much. I like it very much."
The small bathroom was instantly filled with steam, the air and the mist intertwined.
Both of them had tiny water droplets on the tips of their noses.
Yun Lian moved even closer to him.
"After you've developed a liking for it, what else do you want to do?"
"Huo Ye, I mean if, if you knew that a relationship was destined to have no future, destined to never reach the end of the story, like a fleeting moment, short but beautiful."
Would you still pursue it?
Huo Ye remained steadfast.
"Since it's beautiful, what does it matter if it's short-lived? At least we had it once, didn't we?"
It's infinitely better than never having had it at all.
"I like you, that's all. What else do I want to do? I just want to be by your side, even just being with you makes me happy."
Yun Lian was helping Huo Ye dry off in the bathroom, completely unaware that her phone was ringing incessantly outside.
Having just finished his mission, Song Zhu rushed to Yun Lian's residence without stopping. Afraid of disturbing her, he even called her only after arriving.
But to his surprise, the flower shop was smashed to pieces, and Yun Lian was nowhere to be seen at the villa.
Where will Yun Lian go?
Song Zhu felt a panic that was even more intense than if she were being held at gunpoint.
Song Zhu kept staring at her phone, praying and murmuring to herself.
"Please answer the phone right now, no matter where you are."
He just wanted to hear that she was safe; this mission was closely related to her.
Their investigation revealed that Yun Lian was being targeted, and Song Zhu volunteered to take action, hoping to eliminate any future trouble.
He asked his colleagues to protect Yun Lian, but he didn't expect that the colleagues he entrusted before leaving were all injured.
It was hard for him not to suspect that something had happened to Yun Lian.
Where else can Yun Lian be protected?
The news he heard upon his return nearly terrified him.
Parking lots are being hit, people are being mobbed while watching games, cars are driving into flower shops, and you often encounter objects being thrown from high-rise buildings while walking on the street.
If Yun Lian were even slightly less skilled or unlucky, he might never see her again.
No one opened the door to the villa for a long time.
Song Zhu belatedly realized that the Huo family, whose leader had been keeping a close eye on Yun Lian, couldn't possibly have been completely unaware of the situation.
And once he knows that Yun Lian is in danger, he will definitely protect her.
Perhaps Yun Lian will be taken back to the Huo family after the e-sports competition.
With a direction in mind, Song Zhu floored the accelerator and sped towards the Huo family's residence.
Song Zhu knocked on the door but no one answered. She climbed over the wall and found a nanny arriving late.
"Sir, who are you looking for? You can't come in without Mr. Huo's permission. If you don't leave, I'll call the police to report you for trespassing."
Song Zhu showed his identification without turning his head.
"I'm a police officer, and I'm friends with Huo Ye."
As soon as Song Zhu entered, she called out Yun Lian's name.
He was afraid that Huo Ye would detain Yun Lian. He never hesitated to speculate about Huo Ye's thoughts in the most malicious way, since Huo Ye was the kind of person who could follow Yun Lian to her villa. As a fellow man, he knew very well what Huo Ye thought of Yun Lian.
"Yun Lian, where are you? I've come to take you home."
As Song Zhu shouted, her phone kept dialing numbers.
Finally, I heard Yun Lian's phone ringing from the living room sofa.
Song Zhu dragged her phone upstairs, only to bump into Yun Lian and Huo Ye, who had just come out of the bathroom.
Song Zhu's eyes turned bloodshot almost instantly as he stared at Yun Lian in disbelief.
“Yun Lian, I searched for you everywhere like a dog, always worried that you might have encountered some danger, but I never expected that when I came back I would see you in this state.”
What kind of person do you take me for?
Song Zhu took a step back and shook her head in disappointment.
Yun Lian stepped forward and pulled him aside to explain.
"Song Zhu, Huo Ye was injured while saving me, which is why I appeared at the Huo family. As for just now, I was just helping him wipe his upper body. You can clearly see that he was wearing suit pants."
Song Zhu, please don't misunderstand.
Song Zhu's eyes were bloodshot, but she still managed to force a smile.
Chao Yunlian reached out her hand.
"Okay, I believe you. Now that I'm back, I can continue to protect you. Do you want to come home with me?"
Yun Lian shook her head.
“He’s injured, so there are many things he can’t do. Song Zhu, I promise I’ll go back with you once he’s healed.”
Song Zhu was incredulous, tears welling up in her eyes as she laughed.
"Yun Lian, if I remember correctly, you're my girlfriend, right? I've been missing for so many days, and you haven't asked about me at all since I came back."
On the contrary, you're showing him extra care. You want me to not misunderstand? Do you really think that's possible?
Yun Lian, haven't you noticed that the distance between you two has exceeded normal social distancing?
Yun Lian glanced at Huo Ye, who was tugging at her sleeve, and then at Song Zhu, whose clothes were wrinkled and who was clearly exhausted from the journey.
Yun Lian walked towards Song Zhu and looked him straight in the eyes.
"Song Zhu, believe me, he and I will not have any other relationship. It's only different when you're here."
