"No way!" Wen Sining shouted. She bounced up from the bed like a spring. The sudden movement tugged at the wound on her abdomen, making her grimace in pain.
She quickly looked down. Relieved to see the wound hadn't reopened, she covered the wound with one hand and supported herself on the bedside with the other. Bending over, she shuffled towards the window.
Maybe it was because she had just woken up or there was still some residual anesthetic in her body. Wen Sining felt her limbs go weak. She exerted all her strength to open all the windows. Then she grabbed a pillow and started fanning the air wildly in the ward.
A few minutes later, Wen Sining sat on the edge of the bed, sweating profusely and gasping for breath as if she had just run a five - kilometer race.
After this series of actions, feeling that the air in the ward had become much fresher, she casually pushed back the sweaty hair on her forehead and shouted in the direction of the door, "It's okay. You can come in now."
As soon as Lu Luochen entered, he felt the temperature in the ward drop several degrees.
It was already the end of October. And it had rained lightly in the early morning. The gentle breeze, which usually carried a hint of coolness, now made people shiver.
Lu Luochen glanced at the wide - open windows and guessed what had happened in the ward just now. The corners of his lips twitched upwards involuntarily, but he quickly suppressed the smile. Pretending not to know anything, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"What were you doing just now? You're sweating so much."
Wen Sining was startled by Lu Luochen's sudden move and froze on the spot. She didn't manage to dodge his handkerchief in time.
She scratched her hair uneasily to avoid his outstretched hand again, looking away.
"I didn't do much. Just a little exercise."
"Oh. The doctor did say you could do some proper exercise after waking up. But I don't think a few minutes of exercise is enough. It's sunny now. I'll help you go for a walk in the garden downstairs."
Hearing this, Wen Sining, who was about to climb back into bed, stopped abruptly. She said awkwardly,
"No, no need. I think I've had enough exercise today. And my wound hurts. I'd better stay in bed and rest."
Lu Luochen, who had just wanted to tease her, immediately changed his expression when he heard her say the wound hurt. He rushed over and lifted the clothes on her abdomen.
"The wound hurts? How does it hurt? Is it torn?"
Wen Sining's face flushed as red as a cooked duck. Embarrassed, she pressed down on her clothes tightly.
"No, the wound isn't torn. It just hurts because the anesthetic has worn off!"
She knew Lu Luochen just wanted to check her wound, but it still made her extremely uncomfortable to expose her bare abdomen in front of him.
"Are you really okay?"
"Truly okay! More real than a pearl!" Wen Sining stared at him with big eyes, as if saying, "Hey, buddy, look at my sincere eyes. How could I lie to you?"
Hearing her words, Lu Luochen didn't insist on checking her wound anymore. Instead of lifting her clothes, he placed his hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her back into the bed.
"Since your wound hurts, you should rest well. There's no rush for exercise."
Wen Sining let out a long sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
Actually, she wasn't lying. She was tired and her wound hurt. All she wanted to do was lie there like a lazy fish without moving.
Lu Luochen even tucked the quilt around her.
"Do you want to sleep or watch TV?"
Wen Sining blinked her eyes. "I want my phone."
Today was the day when the product "Siren" was officially launched. She wanted to call Qiao Xi to ask about the situation.
Lu Luochen looked at her. Finally, he said nothing and took out her phone from his pocket and handed it to her.
However, a coincidence happened at this moment.
Just as Lu Luochen hadn't completely handed over the phone and Wen Sining hadn't completely taken it, with both of their hands still holding the phone, it rang. In the middle of the screen, the words "Baby Bai" caught both of their eyes.
Lu Luochen pursed his lips tightly. Wen Sining quickly snatched the phone.
"Hello, Bai..." Before Wen Sining could finish her greeting, the person on the other end of the phone started chattering away.
Lu Luochen leaned slightly to the side. It seemed that he didn't want to disturb Wen Sining answering the phone, but in fact, his ear on the side closer to Wen Sining perked up, listening intently to the content of the call.
"Bai... You're speaking too fast. I can't keep up." Wen Sining covered her forehead and interrupted him helplessly.
The person on the other end immediately stopped talking and just sniffed softly.
Wen Sining sighed and said, "Forget it. Come and find me. I'm currently..."
She casually told him the address of the hospital. Immediately, Bai Ziyan stopped crying and exclaimed in surprise, "Hospital? Sister Sining, what's wrong with you? Why are you in the hospital!"
"It's nothing serious. Just a minor surgery."
"Surgery! It's serious enough to require surgery and you still say it's nothing serious! Sister Sining, wait for me. I'll come to you right away!"
After saying that, Bai Ziyan hung up the phone impatiently.
Since Bai Ziyan had shouted during this conversation, every word had reached Lu Luochen's ears.
Originally, Lu Luochen had been a bit resistant to this "Baby Bai", but for some reason, after hearing the conversation between "Baby Bai" and Wen Sining, his resistance disappeared inexplicably.
Wen Sining looked at the phone helplessly. Thinking about having to face the crybaby Bai Ziyan soon, she couldn't help but support her forehead and sigh.
Bai Ziyan had three modes.
One was as a racing driver, Bai.
Two was in a normal state, Baby Bai.
Three was as a crybaby, Bai Ziyan.
When in the racing - driver mode, Bai Ziyan was a rigorous, careful and dedicated professional.
When in the normal state, Bai Ziyan was a cute, absent - minded and clingy little guy.
But once he transformed into crybaby Bai Ziyan, he was completely a little tyrant. Everything had to go his way, otherwise...
Wen Sining couldn't help but recall an incident when she had accidentally made Bai Ziyan cry. She shivered involuntarily and quickly pulled the quilt closer to her.
"Cold?"
Lu Luochen asked. As he spoke, he walked over and closed the wide - open window.
Wen Sining seemed startled. She turned her head suddenly, as if surprised that he was still there. Then she remembered that they had had a fierce argument because of Bai Ziyan before. Her mood immediately sank, and she nodded perfunctorily.
"A bit. Thank you. By the way, my friend is coming to see me later. You..."
"I'm not leaving."
Wen Sining's words were interrupted halfway. Hearing what he said, she immediately widened her eyes.
