The door to the ward was slightly ajar, and the man’s deep voice was somewhat indistinct.

“Hiss–”

A very soft groan of pain escapes from his lips.

Zhan Mingyan’s brows furrowed as her tightly closed eyes slowly opened. Looking at the white ceiling, memories from before her unconsciousness flooded into her mind like a rushing horse.

Bai Jue!

She opened her eyes wide and quickly tried to get up.

It hurts!

Forgetting the wound on her back, she sat up abruptly. The pain from the bones in her spine made her gasp for breath, and cold sweat began to pour down her forehead.

She clenched the corner of her blanket tightly as a layer of mist appeared in her eyes.

Damn it!

It’s so, goddamn painful!

“You’re awake.”

After hanging up the phone outside on the balcony, Bai Jue came back in and saw the person sitting up in bed, and quickly walked over.

Hearing that familiar voice, Zhan Mingyan struggled to raise her head. Seeing that Bai Jue was completely unharmed, her heart finally settled.

She was worried about his safety, but little did she know, with her pale face, moist eyes, and pitiful expression, she had immediately touched Bai Jue’s heart.

He momentarily paused, his feet felt like they were filled with lead and couldn’t take another step, and his heart felt as if it was a mess of emotions.

“What are you standing there for? Do I look that frightening?” Noticing that he had suddenly stopped moving, Zhan Mingyan forced a smile while enduring the pain from her back.

“Don’t worry, I’m injured now. Even if I wanted to beat you up, I wouldn’t have the strength.”

Bai Jue’s eyes flickered slightly. His long legs moved once again, and in a few strides, he was at the bedside.

From his higher position, he looked down at her, his gaze falling on her injured back, his eyebrows furrowing.

“Bai Jue, you…”

Just as Zhan Mingyan was about to speak, the man leaned in closer.

The strong male hormone engulfed her thinking abilities. She held her breath, not daring to move.

Bai Jue picked up a pillow, placed it behind her, and then firmly grabbed her wrist. “Lean back, sitting up like this will pull your wound.”

The magnetic voice was low.

Warm breath was sprayed between her eyebrows, Zhan Mingyan nodded dumbly and leaned back with his movements.

Indeed, sitting leaning against the raised pillow eased the pain in her back a bit.

Bai Jue pulled over a chair and sat down.

“Your back is bruised. Don’t make any big movements for the next few days. Lie down and rest when you’re fine. I’ll have some medicine sent over later, remember to apply it every day.”

Zhan Mingyan was also familiar with Bai Jue’s medical skills. The effect of his medicine would undoubtedly be effective. She nodded her head in agreement.

Under the bright light, the two of them fell into silence.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit subtle.

Zhan Mingyan let go of her tightly clasped hand, and searched for a topic, “Bai Jue, will you get into any trouble for killing that man?”

Bai Jue crossed his legs. “Don’t worry, I won’t. If there’s trouble, it will be for them.”

Hearing this, Zhan Mingyan was relieved.

“Did you bring me to the hospital?”

Bai Jue smiled. “Or did you think you can teleport yourself to the hospital?”

Listening to his taunting words, Zhan Mingyan was not annoyed, “If I could teleport, I wouldn’t need your help.”

“Zhan Mingyan, you’re a fool. Who told you to take that hit for me? If he had a knife or gun, you wouldn’t be able to save your own life.” Bai Jue knocked on her head and complained.

That man with the facial scar couldn’t harm him at all. Dealing with him was like crushing an ant. But he didn’t expect that Zhan Mingyan would actually rush up to block the hit for him.

Zhan Mingyan puffed up her cheeks, staring at him. “The situation at that time was urgent, I didn’t think too much. I asked you for help, and if you had gotten hurt, wouldn’t I owe you a great favor?”

Even though these were her words, what she was actually thinking was a different answer. She didn’t want him to get hurt, she was afraid of him getting hurt. So she didn’t think about whether she would get hurt at all. The only thought in her mind at that time was as long as he was well.

“Are you so afraid of owing me a favor?” Bai Jue looked deeply into her eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

“Of course, it’s hardest to repay a favor to a peacock like you,” Zhan Mingyan said already uncomfortable, avoided his gaze.

Bai Jue touched his chin, calmly looked at her, and asked, “If you’re so afraid of owing me a favor, why did you call me for help? Why didn’t you call Sanny and the others?”

Coughing lightly twice to relieve her embarrassment, Zhan Mingyan stammered, “I couldn’t get through to Sanny’s phone, that’s why I called you.”

“Really?” Bai Jue looked at her skeptically.

“Of course, if I could have gotten through to her, I wouldn’t have called you.” Zhan Mingyan nodded vigorously, firmly asserting herself.

She sounded so convinced that even she almost believed her own words.

Seeing this, Bai Jue said, “So it seems that calling me is a bother for you.”

“I’m glad you know.” Zhan Mingyan retorted.

“Since that’s the case, I’ve dealt with those goons for you, and you took that hit for me, let’s consider us even. This way, you won’t have to worry about owing me any favor.” Bai Jue shrugged nonchalantly.

Even?

Zhan Mingyan’s eyes darkened, and she felt a sense of melancholy.

By saying that, was he implying that they wouldn’t meet again?

After all, she and he belong to two different worlds. If they are even, it’s time to part.

How could two parallel lines intersect?

Ha, she was just daydreaming.

“Zhan Mingyan, aren’t you happy to not owe me a favor?”

Bai Jue’s voice echoed, pulling back her drifting thoughts.

She forced a smile, “Of course I’m happy. Why wouldn’t I be happy not to owe a favor to a peacock like you?”

But who was Bai Jue? He was an expert at discerning the hearts of others.

He looked steadily at Zhan Mingyan, a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

The phone lying aside suddenly vibrated. Zhan Mingyan glanced over, it was Bai Jue’s phone ringing.

Who would call him at this hour?

Could it be those women from the bar?

Watching him pick up the phone, the smile curling at the corner of his lips stung Zhan Mingyan’s eyes. She withdrew her gaze and turned to look out the window.

A crescent moon was reflected in her eyes, and she suddenly felt a little homesick.

“Making me pick you up, you sure do give yourself a lot of importance.” Bai Jue’s deep voice was tinged with laughter.

“You can also stay at my place, but bear in mind, you have to pay rent.”

Jian Luo who had just come out of the airport was on the other end of the line. With phone in one hand and a suitcase in the other, he grumbled, “Pay rent my ass. I don’t have a single cent. Hurry up and pick me up. I haven’t even had dinner. Remember to order some supper for me.”

Bai Jue was amused. “If you want supper, no chance. And forget about me picking you up. Make do with a taxi and go directly to my place. The door password is still the same.”

Whether it was the Jian family or the Sophallo family, they owned numerous properties and hotels in Switzerland. He could find a place to stay easily. There was no way he would go to pick him up.
