I weakly raised my hand and brought the phone to my ear, and Yao Yao anxiously asked, "Where are you now?"
"At home," I answered with little confidence, not knowing that in the end, it was me who stood up Zhou Heng.
Yao Yao hung up the phone, and a beep sound came from the other end.
I felt disoriented and collapsed onto the sofa in the living room, feeling completely powerless. "Zhou Heng must be very disappointed in me, right?" I thought about it a lot, then curled up on the sofa and fell asleep.
Knock knock!
The sound of knocking on the door woke me up from my dream. I panicked and got up, limping to open the door. It was Yao Yao outside. "I'm so thirsty," she said as she rushed in and drank a glass of water in one gulp.
I leaned against the edge of the sofa, watching her. She wiped her mouth and then pointed at my nose, demanding, "Where did you go this afternoon? Do you know how worried I was?"
Me: "I was at the hospital this afternoon."
Yao Yao was puzzled, staring at me and looking me up and down, "Are you sick?"
I limped over to the sofa, "I injured my foot."
Yao Yao rushed over, her eyes almost falling to my feet, she said in surprise, "Why didn't you say so earlier, I..."
I helplessly smiled, "You went to Qingyun Temple, telling you earlier wouldn't have made a difference. Wang Ze accompanied you to the hospital in the afternoon."
"What? Wang Ze?" Yao Yao exclaimed, " Ling Xiaomeng, do you really like Zhou Heng? Do you want to reconcile with Wang Ze?"
Her series of questions made me have no idea which one to answer first. I was already feeling unhappy because of Zhou Heng's matter, and hearing her say that made me even more annoyed. I picked up a cushion, turned my face away, and said somewhat petulantly, "How would I know it would be such a coincidence that Zhou Heng would see Wang Ze and me together."
Yao Yao was stunned, just looking at me, mouth agape in surprise, unable to speak.
After a while, she came to her senses and muttered to herself, "So that means Zhou Heng has been waiting for you downstairs, only to see you come back intimately involved with another man. His heart must be completely broken."
She clicked her tongue and shook her head, sighing.
"When I came back from Qingyun Temple today, I met Master Xiao Chen and it was only because he told me that I found out about your date today."
I was speechless, unable to answer Yao Yao's questioning, and could only bury my chin in the pillow.
Yao Yao: "These days, Master Zhou and the others went to the countryside in Liangshan, there was no signal on their phones at all. He thought that coming to your house to wait for you would definitely work. What a pity! You..."
Yao Yao sighed a few times, frowned, and looked at me as if she couldn't understand why I let Wang Ze take me back.
Me: "......."
Yao Yao was indignant and spoke with conviction, "Where are your principles?"
"My feet are killing me, and you're still scolding me," I deliberately rubbed my ankle to divert Yao Yao's attention. Sure enough, she frowned and asked, "What did the doctor say?" I smiled and replied, "It's a sprain."
She gave me a cold look: "Heartless."
It seems like this word is describing her. Just a few days ago, she was heartbroken, but now she has completely emerged from the shadow. She's moving on at an incredibly fast pace.
Yao Yao got up and said, "I can't be bothered to deal with you, figure it out yourself."
"Hey, are you just going to leave me behind?"
Yao Yao: "I asked Master Zhou to come, okay?"
Me: "No, don't."
Yao Yao was talking while taking out her phone. I didn't know who she was calling, but I heard her say, " Master Zhou hasn't come back yet? When he comes back, tell him that Ling Xiaomeng is injured, very seriously."
"Yes, very serious."
I waved at her in horror, "It's not very serious, it will be fine in a few days. Don't..."
I am afraid to see Zhou Heng at this moment, and I really don't know how to approach him. What's even more worrying is that the the Chiang family must be ready to have dinner with me. She hung up the phone and said to me fiercely, "Ling Xiaomeng, from now on, your foot is not sprained, it's broken." Me: "Ah?"
Yao Yao: "Listen to me, that's right."
She came over, lifted my foot, found the medicine cabinet, sprayed on Trauma medicine, and wrapped a thick layer of gauze around it.
Finally, she looked at the leg wrapped up like a zongzi and showed a satisfied and comforting smile, "Now it looks like something."
Before she left, she instructed me, "If Master Zhou comes to see you tomorrow, you must remember to act delicate. Men like this kind of tone. When he gets angry again, he won't be angry, he will only feel sorry for you."
I was amused by her and burst into laughter. Yao Yao was teaching me how to deal with Zhou Heng.
She sounded very experienced, as if she were an old hand at love, but in fact, when it came to myself, I was timid.
"What are you laughing at? I'm doing this all for your own good."
Me: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Even though I said that, I still feel a bit worried. Zhou Heng left awkwardly today. I wonder what he's thinking.

Du Yuwei heard about my injury and rushed over the next day.
When he saw my foot wrapped up like that, he asked in surprise, "Are you taking a vacation?"
I knew that penny-pincher wouldn't readily agree to my sick leave. He actually made me take annual leave instead.
I stood up abruptly and said, "Do you have any humanity left, Du Yuwei? I'm injured, and you don't care about me. You even deduct my annual leave?"
Du Yuwei chuckled, "I knew it. Yesterday Wang Ze said you just sprained your ankle, nothing serious. Today, seeing you like this, I thought I must have misheard."
I sat down angrily and touched the bandaged area.
"When did you become so close with Wang Ze?" Du Yuwei chuckled, "We haven't really been in touch, just occasionally drinking together."
I don't believe it, I looked at him with a suspicious look. He hurried to explain, "Actually, we also occasionally go hiking together on weekends."
Me: "Hmm, looks like you've done a lot behind my back?"
Du Yuwei: "I didn't deceive you. Wang Ze really cares about you. He even called me today to ask me to check on you, saying he doesn't want to make you angry. Hey, Ling Xiaomeng, I understand now. Why don't you give him a chance? He already knows he was wrong. Also, he introduced a big client to our company..."
Du Yuwei immediately stopped talking, realizing he had let something slip, and could only awkwardly pretend to be clueless. I stared at him and asked, "Big client?" Du Yuwei chuckled and said, "Xiao Meng, this thing, I, I..."
I understand everything now. Yesterday, that Mr. Zhou was introduced to me by Wang Ze, no wonder he scrutinized me for a long time and spoke with a hint of strangeness. It's all Wang Ze's doing.
Du Yuwei took on a project behind my back and let me be in charge of the design. He's really making a fool out of me!
My anger surged up instantly, Du Yuwei was so scared that he quickly stood up, waved his hand at me, and said in a pleasing tone, " Xiao Meng, you, calm down."
I gritted my teeth and said, "Get out of here."
Du Yuwei: "Don't be angry."
Me: "Go, right now, immediately."
Du Yuwei quickly grabbed the bag and smiled at me awkwardly, "I'm leaving, so you rest well. Even if you take sick leave, no deduction in salary, no deduction in bonus, it will be considered as a work-related injury."
I got up, limping, and threw a pillow at him, "Disappear, right now."
Du Yuwei: "Alright."
He quickly went to open the door, but stood there in a daze. I saw a figure outside the door and hurried over.
Du Yuwei stared in astonishment at the person outside the door and asked, "Aren't you Master Zhou?"
Zhou Heng is here? I felt flustered for a moment, breaking out in a cold sweat.
I quickly called out, " Du Yuwei."
He turned and smiled at me, "Take care."
I saw Du Yuwei step out the door and say something to Zhou Heng, but I didn't hear clearly. However, I saw a slight change in Zhou Heng's expression, which then returned to normal.
Zhou Heng and I stood on either side of the door, feeling awkward and not knowing how to start the conversation. In the end, he took a step forward and gently closed the door behind him. I awkwardly gestured for him to sit down.
He came in very politely and sat down somewhat awkwardly.
Today, he was dressed very casually. He wore a beige diamond-patterned sweater over a light denim jacket, and a pair of well-fitted jeans.
He was the first to speak, "You look like you've been hurt."
His gentle tone, like a gentle spring breeze, brushed over the tip of my heart, causing ripples of surprise. "I-I'm fine," I stuttered. I didn't expect him to actually come. It's all thanks to Yao Yao for conveying the message to Master Xiao Chen.
Zhou Heng has delicate features, and the calm expression on his face gives me a sense of illusion. It seems like he has forgotten about last night's events. I watched as he slowly pulled out a neatly wrapped bundle from his backpack. I looked at him in confusion, not knowing what was inside, but I could smell the scent of Chinese medicine.
Zhou Heng is very skilled and nimble. He opened that thing and instructed me, "This is a traditional Chinese medicine ointment specifically for treating bruises and injuries. Change it every two days, it's very effective." I was extremely surprised; he had come all the way to deliver the ointment for my injury.
Zhou Heng: "All the senior brothers in the temple use this when they get injured. It's personally prepared by our master and is more effective than those ointments outside."
My eyes were fixed on those bandages, the packaging was very simple, just sealed in plastic film bags, and looked no different from ordinary bandages.
But what surprised me was that the master of Qingyun Temple could even prepare bandages, he is really talented.
"Is your foot very swollen? Let me take a look."
"Zhou Heng said, reaching out to take a look at my foot, but his hand didn't touch it, froze in mid-air, and then pulled back. I quickly pulled my foot back. If he found out that I just sprained it and exaggerated the situation on purpose, it would be embarrassing. I hurriedly said, 'Actually, it's nothing.'"
I feel my face burning, and being in the same room with him makes my heart pound, leaving me at a loss. Zhou Heng's face is also red, and he seems unsure of where to put his hands, becoming stuttered: "I, I just worry about your foot injury. I've been with my master and encountered many such situations. Although I'm not a regular orthopedic doctor, I'm still skilled." Suddenly I realize what he meant just now. He thought I was too shy to show him my foot. He really is an innocent child from the ancient tomb sect.
I couldn't help but chuckle and buried my head, not daring to look at his face.
Zhou Heng looked at me in panic, like a child who had done something wrong, "Did I... did I act too rashly?"
I shook my head, really not wanting to tease him.
He treats my injury so seriously, if I were to lie to him again, wouldn't that be too unkind?
