I squeezed his hand so hard that he turned his head and glared at me.
Well, it's true, not a dream. Alright, although he didn't know what caused him to change his personality, this was still an unprecedented feeling.
Someone hurt, someone cared, someone took me to the hospital, someone helped me get a doctor, and in a flash I went from being an omnipotent woman to a child who didn't have to worry about anything. Hmm, the feeling of the ice suddenly boiling was not bad at all.
However, I didn't have much time to indulge in this feeling before I felt him freeze again.
The wound wasn't serious, it was just a slight bruise on the skin, and once the doctor had thoroughly examined me and bandaged the wound, he once again returned to his death-frostbite look. He tried not to make eye contact with me, and he maintained his cool, aloof energy, as if the man who had impatiently brought me to the hospital wasn't him.
When I followed him out of the hospital with a big bag of pills in my hand, and he walked quickly forward, ten meters away from me, I knew that he was sick.
But his concern for me only made me feel more frightened. It was better to be less warm and less cold than to feel more at ease. I wasn't in the mood to ask him why he was so hot and cold, but he was sick anyway.
We walked all the way to his car, and then he stopped and turned around, his eyes as cold as moonlight on a cold day.
"Take a taxi back, I won't take you back." As I approached, he said coldly.
I also retracted all of my emotions and said seriously, "Alright, thank you to Director Sheng today."
"You're welcome." "No," he answered stiffly, adding, "I would have done that to anyone else. Don't think too much about it."
"Don't worry, I won't think too much about it. I know Director Sheng's character very well. " I looked at him and said.
"That's good. Don't think too much about it." He answered me again, coldly.
I smiled slightly and nodded. I turned and walked back to the main entrance of the hospital. I didn't look back. Not long after, he drove past me at a terrifying speed, as if wishing he could use this speed to prove he had no interest in me at all.
I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry as I watched him leave.
As I was about to take a taxi back to the hospital, I noticed Ren Yingying standing in front of the hospital entrance, looking in. She was wrapped in a tousled down jacket.
"Ying Ying, why are you here?" I asked, surprised.
"Director Zhou said that I was worried about you staying in this hospital, so I came here to wait. Ms Shubei, are you alright? " Ren Yingying asked me anxiously with a face full of fear.
"It's fine, I didn't hurt my bones, it's just a light injury. I'll be fine after taking the medicine." I said, smiling.
"That's good, didn't Director Sheng come with you? Why is it just you? " Ren Yingying breathed a sigh of relief, then asked me again.
"He left ahead of time. I'm going home, do you want to come visit my house?" I asked as she trembled.
"Alright." She immediately agreed.
So I took a taxi and took her to my house. Xia Yiwa had already known about my injuries through text messages. As soon as I returned home, I could smell the fragrance of food in the room.
It seemed that she was waiting for me at home to prepare some food.
So I simply introduced them to each other, and the three of us sat down to eat and talk. As we chatted, Xia Yiwa started to tell me some interesting stories about her overseas, making Ren Yingying and I laugh.
I noticed that when Ren Yingying saw Xia Yiwa, her eyes were filled with envy and fear.
Just as dinner was about to end, she stretched out her hand towards Xia Yiwa with fear and trepidation and timidly asked, "Xia …" Miss Xia, can I be friends with you? "
Xia Yiwa started, then quickly took her hand and said, "Of course, you're Shubei's friend, my friend. Just call me Yiwa. No need to be a stranger."
After the meal, Ren Yingying rushed to clean up all the bowls and chopsticks. She insisted on washing the dishes. So we let her.
When she was done, she said she wanted to go home. I was injured, so Xia Yiwa sent her downstairs. I didn't expect that it would be more than half an hour before Xia Yiwa went upstairs.
Upon entering the door, Xia Yiwa lamented, "This girl's life is just too miserable. She's as pitiful as a cabbage."
"She told you everything?" I asked in surprise. I didn't expect Ren Yingying to be so fond of pouring out her grievances.
People like me who break gums and have to swallow them are a little hard to understand for people who can whine with anyone. However, perhaps everyone's personality was different!
"Well, she told me about her family and the difficulties she is facing right now. "Looks like we are quite lucky." Xia Yiwa sighed softly and then hugged my arm as she said, "Then, can you take a good rest? Why don't we find a time to visit the orphanage? I haven't seen Xia's mother in years. "
Xia's mother was the dean of the summer orphanage. She was also my reborn parents. It was because of her that I didn't live on the streets. It was also because of her that Xia Yiwa and I knew each other.
"Alright, we'll choose a time to go when you're on vacation." I nodded.
Because Zhou Yihai En gave me a leave of absence of half a month, in the next few working days, I took care of the work at hand, arranged the department's work, and then started the official leave.
On Friday evening, when I was driving to my house in the small district, I saw Sheng Yun's white Bentley parked downstairs. Only then did I remember what Xia Yiwa had said about going to his house for dinner this weekend. It looked like he was here to pick up Xia Yiwa.
Sheng Yun, dressed in a silver-gray tweed jacket and black pants, leaned coolly against his car. I stopped and smiled at him from afar. "Director Sheng."
After greeting him, I headed straight for the corridor. Unexpectedly, his voice sounded from behind me. "Didn't you see my text message?"
"What text message?" I was stunned and immediately stopped walking and turned to look at him.
He frowned and walked over to me. "Don't pretend, Xu Shubei."
