Chapter 124 A Moment of Heartbeat

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Jingyan looked at Lin Nuan who was sitting there in a daze, stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and asked.

"Hehe" Lin Nuan came back to her senses and laughed dryly twice, thinking to herself: Can I tell you what I'm thinking? Of course not! So she made up an excuse and said, "I didn't think about anything. I just saw the way Song Yulin was holding you, and I felt that the two of you had to drink again. I didn't expect you to come out so soon."

When Song Yulin called the woman, he deliberately sent Lin Nuan away. Xiao Jingyan didn't want to tell her about those things. He just said "hmm" softly and closed his eyes to rest. He drank a lot today and was a little drunk.

The two did not communicate along the way until they arrived downstairs of the community unit. Looking at the sleeping Xiao Jingyan, Lin Nuan tentatively waved her hand in front of him and called him twice in a low voice. When there was no response, she raised her voice and patted his shoulder.

"Boss Xiao, Boss Xiao, we're home, it's time to get off the car..."

After Xiao Jingyan was woken up, he turned his head in the direction of the voice in a daze, and then slowly opened his sleepy eyes. Lin Nuan was very close to him when she called him, almost within a few feet. When he turned his head and opened his eyes, their faces instantly met, and the close distance made his heart beat faster.

One of them raised his head, while the other lowered his head slightly, and their eyes met. Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everything around them became quiet and silent. The breathing of the two seemed to be clearly audible, and a tense and subtle atmosphere filled the air.

Lin Nuan retreated in a panic, but accidentally hit her head. She gasped in pain.

Xiao Jingyan was also awakened by this incident. He immediately looked at Lin Nuan with concern and asked, "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

Lin Nuan rubbed the back of her head and waved to Xiao Jingyan, indicating that she was fine. Then, she took a deep breath and said calmly, "I'm fine, just a little painful. And... we're home."

Xiao Jingyan responded, told the driver to go back, and the two got out of the car together.

Maybe it was because the atmosphere between the two of them in the car was a little awkward for a moment.

After going upstairs and opening the door, Lin Nuan said without turning back, "Go to bed early, good night!" and then hurried back to her room.

After closing the door, Lin Nuan leaned against it and took a deep breath. The scene that just happened in the car kept appearing in her mind: the two of them were very close to each other, and her mind was completely blank at that time.

Lin Nuan gently stroked her chest, feeling the strong heartbeat. It was undeniable that her heart seemed to be still beating violently at this moment.

She slowly walked to the bed and sat down, her eyes a little confused. She didn't know why this happened, but she just felt an indescribable feeling in her heart. This feeling made her feel a little flustered, but at the same time she was a little expectant.

Thinking about what just happened, Lin Nuan's face began to heat up again.

Lin Nuan shook her head vigorously, forcing herself not to think about these things anymore, but the scene in the car just now kept appearing in her mind.

Just a little bit, just...

"Ah - don't think about it anymore! Go to sleep!" Lin Nuan said to herself, then walked to the bed, lay down, closed her eyes and prepared to fall asleep.

Lin Nuan buried her head in the quilt, trying to calm herself down.

At this moment, there were two knocks on the door, and then Xiao Jingyan's voice was heard: "Are you asleep?"

Lin Nuan had her head covered, but after hearing the knock on the door, she threw off the quilt and sat up. She wanted to reply that she had gone to bed, but after a slight hesitation, she still replied softly, "Not yet, what's the matter?"

Xiao Jingyan outside the door was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Your head hit the car just now, does it still hurt now?"

Lin Nuan touched her forehead and it seemed to still hurt. She couldn't help but frowned, but still pretended to be relaxed and answered: "It's okay, it's just a bump. It shouldn't be a big deal. I think it will be better tomorrow."

However, when she finished answering, her fingers accidentally touched the place where her head was hit, and she found a small bump there, which hurt a lot when touched.

All the random thoughts that were in my mind before the pain disappeared, and the only thing I could think of was: What bad luck, I hope my head won’t get swollen tomorrow!

Xiao Jingyan stood outside the door and didn't leave. He was still a little worried.

"Come out and I'll take a look at you! I just went out and bought an ice pack and some medicine. Ice packs can help it heal faster. If there's swelling, you'll need to apply some medicine."

When Lin Nuan heard Xiao Jingyan's caring words, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat. She immediately patted her cheek alertly and secretly warned herself in her heart: Don't think too much. It's normal for him to care about you as a friend, not to mention that he is your boss.

The most important thing is that it really hurts when I hit my head, and it seems to be quite serious. Why should I endure it when someone is helping me? Isn't that treating myself unfairly?

Lin Nuan got out of bed, opened the door, and saw Xiao Jingyan standing in front of the door.

"Thanks!"

After the two of them came to the living room together, Xiao Jingyan asked Lin Nuan to sit on the sofa, while he half-knelt down, carefully pushed aside her hair in front of her forehead, and carefully checked the place where she had accidentally bumped into.

"Fortunately, there is no bleeding, just some redness and swelling, not a big problem." He comforted softly, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Then, he got up and walked into the kitchen, took out a bag and filled it with ice cubes, and then wrapped it with a towel to make a simple ice pack. Back in the living room, he gently placed the homemade ice pack on Lin Nuan's bruised head and asked gently, "Is it too heavy? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Lin Nuan shook her head, indicating that she felt no discomfort.

Xiao Jingyan nodded with confidence, but still reminded him worriedly: "If you feel too cold or have other discomforts, be sure to tell me."

Lin Nuan smiled and said, "Okay, I know!"

Looking at the serious and careful man in front of her, Lin Nuan couldn't help but feel touched. She felt that Xiao Jingyan was really handsome and warm at this moment.

Xiao Jingyan focused on applying ice to her skin, while Lin Nuan quietly enjoyed the care. She suddenly realized that being cared for and concerned about was also a kind of happiness. This feeling made her feel very safe and comfortable.

The lights in the living room were bright, and the two of them were reflected through the black TV screen. In the picture, Lin Nuan was sitting quietly on the sofa, while Xiao Jingyan was squatting in front of her, holding an ice pack in his hand, carefully applying ice to her wound.

At this moment, Lin Nuan clearly felt the violent beating of her chest, as if her heart was about to jump out, and time froze at this moment.
