Lu Ning woke up from the pain of the wound on her waist.
When she woke up, she subconsciously wanted to touch her waist where it was uncomfortable. As she reached out to touch it, a large hand suddenly grabbed her wrist.
She was stunned for a moment before she slowly opened her eyes and looked to the side.
Because she was lying on her stomach, it was not easy for her to move, and she could not straighten her body. If she moved, her wound would hurt. “It must hurt a lot.’
She heard the voice before she saw him.
It was Huo Jinyan’s voice.
Her initial nervousness subsided a little.
Huo Jinyan held her hand to prevent her from touching the wound. He squatted in front of her and said gently, “You’re injured. Don’t move around.”
Lu Ning looked at the face in front of her and did not say anything. She simply blinked and stared at him.
Huo Jinyan looked at her and asked softly, “You feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Are you thirsty or hungry?”
Lu Ning still did not speak. She simply felt her hand being held by a pair of warm hands.
“Is this position uncomfortable?”
Huo Jinyan stood up and wanted to help her adjust her posture.
Lu Ning felt a sudden chill in her hand as those hands let go of her.
Huo Jinyan was afraid of affecting her wound, so he was very careful with every move.
“Is this okay? I’ll prop you up with a pillow.”
Huo Jinyan was about to get a pillow when Lu Ning grabbed his wrist.
Something on his wrist bumped Lu Ning’s hand
“I want to sit up.”
When she spoke, her voice was hoarse, and even she herself was surprised.
Huo Jinyan grabbed her hand. “Okay.”
He helped her sit up slowly.
After Lu Ning sat down, she looked at his wrist. There was a bracelet on it.
It was the one she had given him.
Her gaze fell on Huo Jinyan’s other hand.
His arm was wrapped in gauze.
Lu Ning looked up at him.
Huo Jinyan watched her carefully as she sat down, before he turned to leave.
Lu Ning watched his back as he left…
Not long after, Huo Jinyan returned with a glass of water in his hand.
He handed it to Lu Ning.
Lu Ning took a sip from it, and her throat felt better.
Her gaze was fixed on Huo Jinyan’s arm.
Huo Jinyan noticed her gaze and discreetly rolled down his sleeve to cover the gauze.
Lu Ning looked up at him with her crystal clear eyes. “Does it hurt a lot?”
Huo Jinyan was taken aback for a moment before he looked up and met her gaze. After a long pause, he said in a low voice, “Yes, it hurts a lot.”
Lu Ning looked at him and felt that he did not seem to be answering her question. Instead, he seemed to be talking about something else,
But that was all she asked.
Without thinking too much about it, Lu Ning looked around. “Am I… in your room?”
Huo Jinyan nodded.
“What time is it?”
Huo Jinyan picked up his phone and glanced at it. “Half past four.”
Then, he looked at her. “Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
Lu Ning shook her head. “I’m not feeling sleepy.”
She could not fall asleep either; her wound hurt too much.
Huo Jinyan frowned slightly as he looked at her pale face.
“Hungry?”
Lu Ning shook her head.
“Did you not sleep much? Then you should sleep a little, I’ll go out.” She tried to move, but Huo Jinyan immediately held her. “Don’t!”
Lu Ning stopped moving and turned to look at him.
Huo Jinyan looked at her. He only felt more at ease when he saw her by his side.
Huo Jinyan did not say anything. Lu Ning was startled for a moment before she looked at him and said, “I’ll stay here. You can rest for a while.”
This time, Huo Jinyan did not say anything else. He nodded, grabbed a pillow, and laid down beside her.
He was really tired. Not long after he laid down, he fell asleep.
Lu Ning looked down at her wrist, which was being held tightly by Huo
Jinyan…
