He could only see Qi Junze kneeling on one knee on the ground. A sharp fruit knife had almost penetrated his entire knee, and fresh blood was surging out. He wasn’t even frowning.
“Lin Wanwan only suffered a little injury on her leg. I’m paying her back with this knife right now. Do you think it’s enough?”
Tang Chen raised his eyebrow. A trace of strangeness flashed past his eyes.
Surnamed Qi actually self-inflicted an injury in order to maintain the business partner relationship with him?
Why?
Although the man surnamed Qi could indeed be like a tiger with wings with Tang Chen’s help, he had been operating in secret for so many years and was as crafty as a fox. Even without him, he had the capability to battle with Lu Zhanbei.
Furthermore, Tang Chen remembered him saying that he hated to be injured.
“The last time.”
Upon hearing this, Qi Junze smiled, faintly hiding a trace of bitterness.
It turned out that caring for someone could really degrade oneself into the dust.
Furthermore, he was a willing party.
…
At Lin Wanwan’s strong urging, Lu Zhanbei transferred Fu Zhinian over to her ward.
“Fu Zhinian, thank you for saving my life this time.”
Fu Zhinian looked at her and closed his eyes to rest.
This damned kid was deserving of a beating!
Lin Wanwan hesitated for a while before asking the question she had been feeling puzzled over for a long time.
“Back then, why didn’t you aim the tree in my direction? That way, the person whose life would be in danger wouldn’t have been you.”
“Because you’re stupid.”
She actually asked such a simple question. If she wasn’t stupid, then what was she?
This was her benefactor. She couldn’t return his kindness with ingratitude…
Lin Wanwan was so angry that she was already hitting a villain in her heart. On the surface, she said with a smile, “Regardless, it’s the truth that you saved me. If there’s anything you need my help with in the future, I…”
“There’s one thing you can help me with right now.”
“Ask ahead!”
“Please shut up.”
“…”
Lin Wanwan felt that Fu Zhinian and Lu Zhanbei were indeed siblings. When she first met Lu Zhanbei, he was that deserving of a beating too.
Lu Zhanbei pushed open the door and saw her angry face.
“What happened?”
Since the appearance of Lu Zhanbei, the temperature in the ward was significantly reduced.
Lin Wanwan pointed an accusatory finger at Fu Zhinian. “Your brother bullied me.”
Lu Zhanbei smiled and didn’t respond to this. He placed the bag in his hand into hers.
“Dessert.”
The temperature dropped to the freezing point.
It was as if Lin Wanwan didn’t realize this as she cheered softly. She instructed Lu Zhanbei to buy her fruit juice when he went out. Then, she jumped off and limped to Fu Zhinian’s side.
“This is my favorite strawberry cake. It’s not bad. Try it.”
Fu Zhinian’s expression turned cold. “I don’t want to.”
Lin Wanwan forcibly stuffed the cake into his hands. She smiled and said in a coaxing tone, “Desserts can make people feel better. Once your mood’s better, you can recover faster. If you really don’t want to eat it, throw it away.”
After saying this, she turned around and planned to take a breather outside.
Fu Zhinian looked at the strawberry cake in his hand and hesitated for a long time. Then, he took a bite.
Indeed, it was sweet.
His straight lips curved up slightly, and his depressed mood relaxed.
Not long later, Lin Wanwan returned.
When he saw her, Fu Zhinian immediately turned his head and faced the wall.
Lin Wanwan was at first puzzled. Then, she saw the empty cake box in the rubbish bin and could not help but smile until her eyebrows curved.
Fu Zhinian saw from the corner of his eye that she was secretly smiling. He could only try his best to pretend nothing happened. In actuality, the tips of his ears were stained red and there was an absolute contrast.
The hard-to-get-along-with main personality was actually pretty cute as well.
