Chapter 216 - You Get It, Right?
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Lin Yi and Xiaobo walked into Fenâs room- there were seven other people with her, making the place more packed than the emergency room, especially with the visiting friends and family. The air there wasnât very good either.
Xiaobo frowned at the situation- this certainly wasnât the type of environment Fen should be recovering in. How would she ever get better with a noisy, crowded, room like this?
He remembered the situation Fenâs family was in, and sighed faintly. His own family wasnât too well-off, either... Heâd really have helped them financially for Fen to get a better room otherwise.
Lin Yi, as usual, noticed the expression on Xiaoboâs face. He patted his shoulder with a smile. âThe deposit I gave should be enough to get her a better room.â
Lin Yi had no problem at all using Wu Chentianâs money- he wasnât even using it for himself, anyway. It might very well be for his broâs future wife.
âBut, boss...... That money.....â Xiaobo said hesitantly. After all, the money was meant to be lent to Fenâs family. The guy wouldnât get anything in return for spending this much on the girl.
âHaha, just think of it as being used on you- you donât have to return it.â Lin Yi said with a laugh.
âThanks......â Xiaobo nodded, not rejecting the offer. Lin Yi was being serious, he knew that- there was no reason to be shy about it. Heâd chosen the right guy to call boss.
Xiaobo walked over to Fenâs bed with quick steps- the girl was awake, and her face wasnât as pale anymore. Both Tang Yin and Liu Xinwen were talking with her while Song Huiping peeled an apple for Fen.
âAunty Song...â Xiaobo said, a little embarrassed. He wasnât very close with the family... Following them back to the hospital after saving Fen yesterday made sense, but coming again the second day...
âOh? Xiaoboâs here!â Huiping said, evidently quite fond of Xiaobo as she stood up smiling. She handed the peeled apple to him. âHere, an apple?â
âNo thank you- give it to Fen, aunty. She needs to nutrition.â Xiaobo said.
Fen couldnât help but blush upon seeing Xiaobo- Tang Yin and Xinwen had told her about yesterdayâs events, about how she had mistaken Xiaobo for Kang Zhaoming yesterday.
âThank you, Kang Xiaobo. For saving me yesterday.â Fen said, a little shy as she sat up, her face a bit red and her voice pleasant.
âAh, donât worry about it... Heh heh......â Xiaobo said, waving his hands, a little worked up- it was his first time seeing Fen in her normal state.
âAnd also, sorry for what I did yesterday... I thought you were him......â Fen didnât want to be talking about this, but it was something she still had to apologize for.
A conscious Fen knew well that Zhaoming wouldnât be coming back for her again... It was just that she slipped into her fantasies once in a while.
âItâs fine... haha.â Xiaobo said, waving his hands in front of him once more. âAs long as youâre okay! Ah, thatâs right- I talked to my boss- weâre getting you a better hospital room!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAh?â Fenâs paused as she remembered what Tang Yin had said to her, about how Xiaobo might have feelings for her. She didnât think much of it- she was a disabled person, both mentally and physically... Kang Xiaobo was a young, healthy boy, why would he ever fall for her? What Xiaobo was saying right now, however, confirmed Tang Yinâs suspicions. Why would the guy come back the second day, even get her a better hospital room, if it werenât for that?
Huiping could tell what Xiaobo was thinking, too, and was a bit confused. Her daughter, while not as pretty as Tang Yin, may have been a nice flower in the slums, but...
What did Xiaobo see in her daughter right now? Huiping couldnât quite wrap her head around this- there wasnât much her house had to offer, either, and with the state Fen was in......
âAh, itâs a gesture from my boss, donât worry about it- his familyâs pretty rich, so itâs not too much to them.â Xiaobo said, pinning the credit to Lin Yi.
Lin Yi was pretty speechless- his family, rich? The girls he was living with had rich families, but...
âFen, youâre best friends with Tang Yin, and Tang Yin and Lin Yi... you know, heh heh.â Xiaobo said with a warm smile.
Lin Yi really wanted to kick this shit into a wall- what the hell was he doing, using his boss to hit on girls?! He was pulling Tang Yin and him into the whole thing!
As expected, Tang Yin shot an unpleasant glare at Xiaobo... She couldnât really say anything there, however- Xiaobo had good intentions, he was offering to change Fenâs hospital room.
Tang Yin knew too that it wasnât a good environment for Fen to heal in- wouldnât denying Xiaoboâs words mean that Fen would have to continue staying here?
She thought about it: Lin Yi was a rich young master, this sort of money didnât matter to him. As for that little comment... She had nothing going on with Lin Yi! The guy was just using their relationship to hit on Fen. Tang Yin felt better after with that in mind.
Fen turned to look at Tang Yin, confused. She wasnât saying anything... She turned to Xinwen, who then nodded faintly to her. Tang Yin was in a relationship?!
With this âbossâ of Kang Xiaoboâs?
There were other patients present, however, and her mother was here, too.. It wouldnât be very appropriate for her to ask for details, and she decided to just believe what Xiaobo had said.
âDonât worry, Aunty Song- my boss is paying. Letâs get Fen a better room!â Xiaobo said passionately as he went for a doctor.
Lin Yi understood Xiaoboâs psychology here- it was the first girl he had fallen for, and it was only natural that heâd want to make an impression. As for that comment he made... Lin Yi only laughed it off.
He gestured to Tang Yin, telling her to come over. Tang Yin raised her head, confused as she pointed to herself, as if to confirm if Lin Yi was asking for her.
Lin Yi nodded, and she got up to walk over unwillingly. âWhat is it?â
âXiaoboâs trying to chase Fen, and he needs a reason to get close to her, so he used us......â Lin Yi explained. âYou get it, right?â
âOh.â Tang Yin nodded a little unhappily, but didnât give any retort to that. âAs long as you know itâs not real.â
âAh, I know.â Lin Yi smiled. âLetâs go, help Xiaobo out with the room change. Maybe also tell me what Fen thinks of him..?â
