âSecretary Liang.â
Seeing Liang Ruoxu enter, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che greeted each other. Then, they exchanged glances and quietly left the ward.
âWhy are you here?â Lin Yi smiled.
âTeam Leader Qiu informed me, so I came over early. Iâve been waiting for you for more than an hour.â
âWhy didnât you tell me?â
âIf I had told you in advance, would you have let me come?â
âLook at what youâre saying. How could I not let you come?â
âCut the cr*p. Let me take a look at your injuries.â
âItâs fine, you donât need to check anything.â Lin Yi stretched. âAfter a day and a night, Iâm starving. 1â11 bring you out to eat something. They do claypot goose stewin the Northeast. Itâs quite delicious.â
âDonât waste time. Let me take a look.â
Liang Ruoxu reached out and unbuttoned Lin Yiâs clothes, only to find that the gauze was shockingly red.
âW-whatâs going on?â
âI moved too much, so thereâs a little blood. Iâll get the nurse to come over and change the dressing.â
âNurse! Nurse!â
Without waiting for Lin Yi to speak, Liang Ruoxu called out, âChange the dressing of the patient.â
Soon, two nurses, one old and one young, walked in from outside and helped Lin Yi change his dressing.
The two people in front of him were not from the Second Hospital. Moreover, Lu Beichen had been sent over from Yanjing and both of them held military ranks.
This was to prevent Lin Yiâs whereabouts from being leaked.
âMajor Lin, your injuryâ¦â
Lin Yi winked at the two of them, signaling them to stop talking and focus on their work.
âStop giving secret signals,â Liang Ruoxu reprimanded. He looked at the two nurses and said, âThank you for your hard work.â
âItâs our duty.â
With that said, the middle-aged nurse took out a pair of scissors and carefully reminded,
âBear with it. It might hurt a little.â
âDonât worry and do it boldly. Iâm an iron arhat, a living vajra. This small injury is nothing.â
With that, Lin Yi picked up the apple by the table and ate it bite by bite.
Liang Ruoxu was in no mood to pay attention to Lin Yi. Her gaze landed on the wound on his shoulder.
When the gauze was cut open, one could see that a palm-sized area was bleeding and soaked with pus.
âWasnât it already taken care of? Why does it still look like this?â
âIt should be a matter of not being dealt with promptly and not getting proper care,â the middle-aged female nurse looked at Lin Yi and said.
âHe hasnât changed his dressing for at least three days. Otherwise, this wouldnât have happened.â
âI changed it once in between.â
âIâm guessing you bought fake anti-inflammatory drugs. Things produced by a regular pharmaceutical factory wonât cause such a reaction.â
Lin Yi smiled helplessly. He had bought the medicine in Heishui City. At that time, he knew that it might be from a small pharmaceutical factory, but the situation was critical and he didnât have time to overthink. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âItâs alright. The area of the wound is not big. Itâll be fine after a few days of anti-inflammatory medicine.â
The middle-aged nurse nodded. âLet me clean your wound. It might hurt a little.â
âNo problem. Letâs go.â
The two nurses took out cotton swabs, iodophor, and alcohol, preparing to clean Lin Yiâs wound.
Although he could endure it, Lin Yi couldnât help but grit his teeth.
The shocking redness made Liang Ruoxuâs expression change drastically. She turned around and walked to the door. She didnât dare to look at Lin Yi anymore and quietly wiped away her tears.
This made Lin Yiâs heart ache.
âWhy are you crying? Even if Iâm injured, 1 wonât die.â
âIâm fine. Leave me alone.â
Liang Ruoxu could never act gentle.
However, this was a silent show of her gentleness.
The two nurses worked for more than half an hour before Lin Yiâs wound was cleaned, bandaged, and injected with anti-inflammatory medication.
âDonât cry. Youâre making me so upset. Youâre making it out like Iâm terminally ill.â
âGood. Leave me alone!â
Seeing that Liang Ruoxu was still angry, Lin Yi immediately cowered.
âAfter the drip, Iâll take you to eat claypot stewed goose.â
âWhatâs wrong with you? You only know how to think about food.â Liang Ruoxu scolded with her beautiful eyes.
âStay here obediently. Iâll get someone to buy whatever you want to eat.â
âI want to eat you.â
âBe serious!â
âBut Iâm really hungry. 1 havenât seen meat for a few days.â Lin Yi said.
âGet someone to send me some barbecue, roast lamb legs, and so on. Theyâre going to starve me.â
âJust wait. Iâll get someone to buy it.â
Liang Ruoxu walked out of the room. Lin Yi took out his phone and sent a message to An Ning and Li Sijin respectively to tell them that he was safe. He didnât say anything else.
Then he called Ji Qingyan again.
âMr. Lin, are you planning to come back soon?â Ji Qingyan asked.
âIt seems like itâs getting close to the time.â
âThereâs been a bit of an issue here, so it might take a few more days.â
Lin Yi calculated the dates. In about two more days, the training would be coming to an end.
His trip to the Northeast would also be nearing its conclusion.
However, he didnât want to return so early and preferred to take some more time to recover from his injuries, as he didnât want Ji Qingyan to notice too soon.
âAlright then,â Ji Qingyan said weakly. âBut let me tell you, if you dare to come back empty-handed again, Iâll make you sleep on the sofa.â
âDonât worry, Iâve prepared everything for you.â
âReally? What did you buy?â
âNeedless to say, it would be a gift from the Northeast.â
âMwah, donât keep me in suspense. Tell me what it is.â
âI bought you a mink. Itâs of good quality. With your figure, youâll definitely look super good in it.â
âI live in Zhonghai all year round. Do you think I can use mink?â
âI feel like youâre just lying to me and havenât actually prepared anything.â
Lin Yi chuckled. âThen donât ask. Just know that I wonât come back empty-handed.â
âYouâd better not.â Ji Qingyan replied in a somewhat haughty tone.
âBy the way, whatâs the idea behind sending Yuanyuan and the others to Ruxia for the wood import business? I donât think Lingyun Group is involved in that kind of business, are they?â
âItâs a project Iâm working on with someone else. This is to earn favors.â
There was no way to tell Ji Qingyan about this, so Lin Yi chose to gloss over it.
âI understand. In todayâs society, favors are worth their weight in goal.â
âThatâs the point.â
After talking about serious matters, they continued on to discuss meaningless topics. They were all trivial matters.
They chatted for more than half an hour before hanging up.
At this moment, Liang Ruoxu walked in from outside.
Lin Yi didnât think it was a coincidence. She probably knew that he was on the phone, so she didnât come in.
Moreover, the two of them had tacit understanding and did not mention this matter.
âDoes it still hurt?â
âThe area has been cleaned. It doesnât hurt anymore.â
Looking at the bandage on Lin Yiâs shoulder and the drip on his head, Liang Ruoxu suddenly envied Ji Qingyan.
Lin Yi had given all the gentleness of his life to that woman.
Perhaps there would not be another person in his life who would receive such preferential treatment..
