Huo Yao could tell Min Yu was exhausted, so she said, “Let me drive.”
Min Yu clearly had not rested properly recently.
He did not turn down her offer. He simply handed her the car keys, opened the front passenger door, and got in.
Huo Yao spun the keys and turned to walk around the car and got into the driver’s seat.
She started the engine and quickly left the hospital.
The car arrived at Min Yu’s parking space 30 minutes later. Huo Yao turned off the engine and turned to look at the man in the front passenger seat. Min Yu’s eyes were closed and he seemed to be sleeping, so she did not wake him up right away.
Min Yu seemed to detect her looking at him, so he opened his eyes a few seconds later. Even though he was resting his eyes, he was very alert when he looked at her.
Huo Yao calmly veered her eyes. She said softly as she undid her seatbelt, “We’re here.”
Min Yu raised his brow. He undid his seatbelt and got out of the car.
The two of them entered the living room one after another.
Huo Yao was ordering takeout on her phone. She said without even raising her head, “Why don’t you catch some sleep first? I’ll wake you up when lunch gets here.”
“Sure.” Min Yu took off his coat to reveal a long-sleeved T-shirt inside.
After ordering lunch, Huo Yao looked at Min Yu. Just as she was about to speak, she detected the smell of medicated cream. She frowned and asked. “Are you hurt?”
“Just some superficial injuries.” Min Yu did not take his wounds to heart. He suddenly looked at Huo Yao and asked. “Can you help me apply medicated cream later?”
He pointed at his lower back where he was injured.
Huo Yao glanced at his lower back without answering him.
Min Yu took back his words. “I was just joking. I can manage.”
He raised his hand to touch Huo Yao’s head. He walked over to the side of the hall and retrieved the first aid kit before going upstairs.
Huo Yao tilted her head sideways looking at Min Yu until he disappeared at the end of the corridor.
She stood where she was for a couple of minutes before following him.
…
Min Yu went straight to the bedroom and placed the first aid kit on the table. He took a change of clothes before entering the bathroom to wash up.
He took off his clothes. Before he was even able to undo the bandages at his waist, he could hear someone knocking on the bathroom door.
Min Yu froze briefly as he raised his head and looked at the bathroom entrance. He hesitated briefly before he proceeded to put on the bathrobe lying by his side. He walked over to the bathroom door and proceeded to open a tiny gap.
“Do you need help?” Huo Yao’s face seemed completely calm and was honestly just checking on him.
Min Yu cleared his throat and said awkwardly, “Not really.”
“Okay. Call me if you need help then.” Huo Yao turned to leave the bathroom door.
Min Yu’s cheek twitched. After some time, he finally closed the bathroom door slowly.
It was hard to be a gentleman.
Before long, the sound of water coming from the shower could be heard.
Huo Yao walked up in front of the computer desk and sat down. She pulled out her phone while she was waiting for Min Yu.
She tapped on WeChat, accessed Shangguan Yun’s chat, and sent a text message.
Huo Yao waited for a couple of minutes. Just when she thought she had failed to send the text message again, she received a reply.
Y: [The satellite here stopped working. Since it was very high-tech, I didn’t know how to fix it, so I restarted it altogether.]
Y: [When it got rebooted, all the data on the system was gone. The second elder spent a long time recovering the data.]
Y: [Why were you looking for me anyway?]
