If Rao Jie woke up now and saw Wu Rong like this, she would definitely be scared and hide far away. However, in her current state, she was disoriented and just wanted to hold onto anyone within reach, not wanting to be left alone in the fiery hell.
As she cried, Rao Jie began to babble, as if trying to vent all the grievances in her heart. If it were someone else, they might have found her words incoherent and completely incomprehensible, but fortunately, Wu Rong was sharp-minded; even with just a few keywords strung together, he could analyze what had happened.
...
Although he wasn't interested in other people's affairs at all, the current situation was different. Just as Wu Rong was pondering what to do, Rao Jie suddenly spoke up: "Professor Wu, is your shoulder uncomfortable? Is it because of me?"
Rao Jie looked a bit tense, anxiously watching Wu Rong. She thought something had happened to him while carrying her. However, as soon as Rao Jie asked her question, she noticed Wu Rong's expression darken even more than before.
That chubby nurse really had a strong grip; when her thick hand came down, the sound echoed throughout the entire ward. If it weren't for the angle that allowed him to see Rao Jie pulling on his collar, that second slap would have landed on his head and could have given him a concussion—if only he weren't so against hitting women...
"Of course it's because of you! You’ve made me so unlucky!"
"I'm sorry, Professor Wu, I..." Rao Jie lowered her head in guilt and spoke with a bitter smile, but her voice suddenly caught in her throat. "Huh? This... clothing?"
Wu Rong looked over and saw Rao Jie blushing as she noticed the clothes she was wearing. She immediately became flustered and explained anxiously: "What are you thinking! I didn’t do anything; it was the nurse who helped you change."
Upon hearing this, Rao Jie’s face turned even redder—this time out of embarrassment. For a moment, she had actually thought it was Wu Rong who changed her clothes, leaving her utterly shocked.
The two fell silent and shared an awkward moment until the chubby nurse came over to check on them. Although Rao Jie had already broken her fever, the nurse still conveyed the doctor's advice that she should stay for observation overnight.
However, without a second thought, Rao Jie refused. The nurse then advised her to rest well, take her medication on time, and that she would need to come back for an IV drip tomorrow and the day after. She shot a warning glance at Wu Rong before leaving with heavy footsteps.
Wu Rong: ...
Rao Jie held onto the medication in a daze. After grinding his teeth in frustration for a moment, when he spoke to Rao Jie again, his tone was a bit harsh: "What are you still dawdling for? You can walk now!"
Rao Jie snapped back to reality and quickly said: "Professor Wu, about the expenses... can I owe you for now? I promise I will pay you back." The awkwardness of being short on funds had never been so apparent. Rao Jie didn’t even dare to look at Wu Rong’s face anymore.
"Got it. Can I leave now?"
Is that it? Rao Jie looked up in surprise, only to see Wu Rong's clean and tall silhouette.
That figure somehow made her feel at ease.
...
It wasn't until she returned to the apartment that Rao Jie remembered she had promised to leave, but it was already midnight.
Rao Jie thought for a moment and decided she had to go immediately. She had already caused Wu Rong too much trouble; if she stayed any longer, she would start to annoy herself. She grabbed her luggage and planned to go to Wei Qian. Right now, she had less than a hundred yuan on her, and she really couldn't afford to stay anywhere.
Just as Rao Jie opened her mouth to speak, she suddenly heard Wu Rong, who was about to open the door in front of her, say, "Get some rest early."
