Xia Sanghuan took the quilt off her face and said to Leng Chuanjin seriously, "Thank you, Second Brother! Are you satisfied now?"
However, he seemed to be reluctant to stop teasing her. As he continued to approach her, he asked, "Is your thanks to Second Brother just verbal?"
Watching his face getting closer, her almond eyes widened. "Otherwise, what do you want me to do? Be your slave for a lifetime?"
Unexpectedly, he stood up, stroked his chin thoughtfully, and said to himself seriously, "It's not impossible. You have so much talent in medicine. In the future, the pharmaceutical enterprise of the Leng family can be handed over to you."
Hearing this, she said somewhat petulantly, "Yes, yes, yes. To you, I'm just a tool to research drugs to cure your younger brother."
"You came to save me this afternoon because you were afraid that no one would be able to save your younger brother if I died."
She thought he thought so. But when she looked up, the unruly smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a complex expression.
"Do you really think so?"
His slightly hoarse voice sounded, a bit like a wounded hound.
"It's not what I think, but what you think, Young Master Leng."
"I will surely live up to the life you've saved for me. I'll do my best to research the Black-bone Spiritual Treasure and then save your younger brother."
After saying that, she turned over, turned her back to him, and covered her head with the quilt, looking like she didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Looking at her back, Leng Chuanjin was at a loss for words for a moment.
If time went back a little further, he might have answered heartlessly, "Yes."
After all, their initial contact was out of various necessities.
Because of Fu Kai's matter, she had no choice but to live in his house. Because of Jing Zhan's illness, she had no choice but to help him research the Black-bone Spiritual Treasure.
He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.
The hour hand on the wall had pointed to one o'clock. He simply turned off the light and lay down on the companion bed beside.
He didn't feel anything at first, but as soon as he lay down, tiredness slowly came over him.
He had already slept in the car, but he was still so tired, sleepy and exhausted.
It should be because he had dealt with too much work in the past few days.
Thinking like this, he closed his eyes and soon fell into a dream.
However, Xia Sanghuan, wrapped in the quilt, kept her eyes open and had no sleepiness at all.
Maybe it was because she had been in a coma for too long, or maybe she was hurt by Leng Chuanjin's words.
In fact, at first, she still held hope that Second Brother would say something to her.
"I didn't save you because you can cure Jing Zhan's illness, but because I wanted to save you."
But she didn't wait for it.
All she waited for was the other person's silence and the turned-off light.
Suddenly, she really wanted to cry.
So she let herself cry to her heart's content.
She clearly intended to catch the thief by herself so as not to cause more trouble to Second Brother, but in the end, she still had to be saved by him.
How useless she was.
Moreover, she thought that Second Brother might have some other opinions about her, but in the end, it was just her wishful thinking.
She was so angry, so aggrieved, and so sad.
If this was the price of liking someone, she would rather have never liked him.
She didn't know how long she cried before she also fell into a deep sleep.
She was woken up by hunger the next morning.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she smelled a familiar fragrance.
It seemed to be the breakfast she had at the Leng family. She had an impression of this smell because she liked it very much.
She sat up from the bed groggily and found that the companion bed beside was empty.
Had he left already?
Was it because of an urgent matter or because he was angry with her?
Thinking of what she had done last night, she regretted it so much.
Second Brother had risked his life to save her, but she had actually lost her temper with him.
She was already so old but still so ignorant.
Sighing discouraged, she looked around to find out where the smell was coming from.
Although she was very sad, she was really hungry now. She felt that she could eat a whole cow.
Before she found the breakfast, the door of the ward was opened.
It was Second Brother.
Second Brother had changed into a new set of clothes. Different from the three-piece suit yesterday, he was wearing casual clothes today.
This custom-made casual clothes really set off his temperament. He instantly got rid of his identity as a president and became a gentle next-door elder brother.
Seeing that she was awake, Leng Chuanjin at the door was stunned for a moment and then walked over.
"Awake? Get up and wash up, then come and have breakfast."
"Can you get out of bed by yourself? Do you need me to help you?"
As he said, he walked over.
Xia Sanghuan didn't dare to look into his eyes for a moment.
What should she do? Should she apologize?
Thinking like this, the atmosphere between the two suddenly turned cold.
Just when she was weighing whether to speak, Leng Chuanjin suddenly said, "I didn't save you just because you can save Jing Zhan's life."
"I saved you because I was worried about you and afraid that you would get hurt."
Hearing this, her eyes lit up instantly.
She looked up at the man in front of her.
However, Second Brother turned his face away and didn't dare to look at her.
But the faint blush on his face had already betrayed him.
Suddenly, Xia Sanghuan felt like fireworks were going off in her heart. The unhappiness that had been weighing on her heart since yesterday instantly vanished.
Leng Chuanjin stretched out his hand somewhat uneasily. "Come on, I'll help you out of bed."
She put her hand in his and suddenly found that Second Brother's hand was so big that it seemed to be able to wrap hers completely.
Their warm palms touched, and an electric-like sensation wound its way up her arm from her palm and instantly hit her heart.
She had been hugged by Second Brother so many times, but why did holding hands make her blush and her heart beat even more?
Her face turned completely red. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him.
She didn't know that his face was also already red.
The two of them walked with their own thoughts. The short distance from the hospital bed to the bathroom seemed to take a century.
While washing up, she splashed her face with cold water hard, trying to lower the temperature on her face.
It would be so embarrassing if Second Brother saw her blushing when she went out.
She dawdled in the bathroom for about half an hour before finally calming down her heartbeat.
When she went out, she found that Second Brother had already laid out the breakfast on the folding table. There were also two small stools beside, waiting for her to come and eat.
She took a few deep breaths and walked over.
It had to be said that her nose was really sharp. The dishes on the table were indeed the ones she had praised at the breakfast table before.
She didn't know whether Second Brother did it on purpose or not, but she was really overjoyed.
