Doctor put away the stethoscope, turned to the nurse and instructed, "Draw her blood again to test for HCG." As the needle pierced the skin, Lin Muyan allowed Liu Er Bao to pinch her hand harder, and calmly thanked the Doctor. She had rushed out so quickly that she forgot her phone, and now, as she finally calmed down, she remembered the medical expenses, revealing a rare blush of embarrassment.
"May I ask... how much are the medical expenses?"
"Ah... you don't need to worry about the medical expenses, someone has already taken care of it," the nurse replied, before being interrupted by Doctor pulling at her sleeve.
"The results will be out in about forty minutes. If you need anything, just let the nurse know. Don't feel restrained." After sending off the doctor and nurse, Liu Er Bao hung her head like a child who had done something wrong. She was a little afraid to look at Lin Muyan, feeling like her hospitalization this time seemed to have put Lin Muyan in debt. The nurse's slip of the tongue had left Lin Muyan with an indescribably complex expression.
The person who paid the money is hard to guess, and this is the second time owing a favor, which makes Lin Muyan, a person who clearly distinguishes between gratitude and grudges, very uncomfortable. "Sister Yan... I'm sorry." Liu Er Bao is simple and honest, but not foolish. Although she cannot be completely sure of the man's attitude towards Sister Yan, she is certain of one thing - he is interested in Sister Yan.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have helped her, someone I don't even know, pay for medical expenses.
"What's there to apologize for, owing once or owing twice doesn't make a difference anyway."
The latter half of the sentence was mumbled by Lin Muyan, with a slightly lowered volume.
Looking at Liu Er Bao's drooping head, Lin Muyan bumped his shoulder impatiently and said, "Take good care of yourself. Don't be so downcast. I'm going out for a while. You stay in the ward and rest. Don't go anywhere, got it?" After Liu Er Bao's wife nodded, Lin Muyan got up and walked to the door. Xiao Chen answered a call in the corridor, with his back to Lin Muyan. His expression couldn't be seen, but his voice was slightly cold, unlike the gentle tone he used when facing Lin Muyan.
He turned his head and caught sight of Lin Muyan, his voice lowered as he said "Call ended," then he put away his phone and calmly looked at her. Lin Muyan hadn't fully prepared herself psychologically to run into a real person, and her emotions were so complex for a moment that she stared at Xiao Chen for quite a while before finally opening her mouth. "Thank you," she sincerely expressed her gratitude.
"Is your ankle still hurting?"
The two almost simultaneously spoke, and Lin Muyan looked at Apprentice in astonishment, then shook her head.
But Xiao Chen didn't believe her. His tall figure half crouched in front of her, his knees slightly touching the ground, not feeling at all that his action was ambiguous or humble.
Lin Muyan His face turned red with anger, wanting to retreat but was caught by the man grabbing his trouser leg. With a lift, the man's restrained anger was heard beneath him.
"It's so swollen, how can you endure it?"
"It's not that serious, I'll just go back and apply some medicine." Lin Muyan tried to pull his hand away, the blush on his cheeks spreading even more, almost turning his earlobes a faint pink.
She really isn't used to outsiders being so intimate with her. Xiao Chen is unaware of the current situation. He is simply annoyed by Lin Muyan's lack of concern for her own body.
He got up, supporting his knees, and looked down at her from a high vantage point: "Many injuries worsen if left untreated. Wait for me in the hospital room, I'll call Doctor over."
As he spoke, he was about to find Doctor, but Lin Muyan anxiously grabbed him, "It's not necessary. It's really not serious. Er Bao is still waiting for me. I just came out to say thank you and need to go back."
She insisted stubbornly and wouldn't let Xiao Chen find Doctor. After looking at her for a while, Xiao Chen sighed deeply, "Then I won't find Doctor, but I can't bear to see someone injured in front of me. If you don't want to go back and let your friend see you blame herself, come with me."
He was originally going to support Lin Muyan, but perhaps the other party's stubborn attitude just now made him very unhappy. His hand was just raised a little and then retracted, pointing to the disposal room just two rooms away, indicating for Lin Muyan to follow.
The ankle injury was not serious, but the man's attitude was very tough. Lin Muyan owed him, so she didn't argue with him or say anything unpleasant.
Allowing the nurse to help her with a simple treatment, Lin Muyan then rolled down her trouser leg, looking at Xiao Chen with an expression that seemed to say, "Is this okay?"
Xiao Chen was not very satisfied, but seeing Lin Muyan's expression of extreme patience, he relented.
"Let me borrow your phone."
Coming out of the disposal room, Lin Muyan turned red and said, "Turn your head."
Xiao Chen handed over the phone without any resistance, even unlocking the screen lock that had been set earlier in front of her.
Lin Muyan called Song Xi to confirm that she had already disembarked and was heading to the hospital, then reminded her to stay safe before returning the phone to Xiao Chen.
"This is my WeChat. Thank you for covering our medical expenses. I'll return the favor once I get my phone back."
Xiao Chen smiled noncommittally, "It's okay if you don't return it."
"I'm not used to owing favors, I will pay you back the money."
Lin Muyan emphasized the words "owing favors."
Xiao Chen shrugged and changed the subject, "I have some other matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you. The police will handle the old lady and her family. You and your friend can rest assured."
Lin Muyan nodded.
Song Xi came running in panting two hours later, tears hanging in her eyes as soon as she entered the room. "Liu Er Bao, what did I say before I left? I told you to move out quickly, why didn't you listen?" Song Xi had noticed that something was wrong with Li Li before, and had advised Liu Er Bao several times, but this girl wouldn't listen.
Now it's better, having thoroughly suffered.
Lin Muyan saw Song Xi so heartbroken that she wanted to cry on the hospital bed, and quickly stopped her, " Li Li has been detained, the police are handling it. You've been exhausted all the way here, come and have some fruit and take a rest."
She glanced at the other person wiping her tears, and massaged her temples, "It's a good thing Er Bao isn't pregnant, otherwise things would be even more difficult."
Pulling Song Xi and saying a few words, finally calming down the friend who had been frightened and ran all the way. Liu Er Bao had a drip and fell asleep in a daze, Lin Muyan was relieved to leave Song Xi at the hospital, and went home to get some things needed for the hospital stay. Her phone, abandoned for most of the day, was picked up from the bedside, and besides Song Xi's number, there was also an incoming call from Shen Yang.
She called Shen Yang's phone, and after the call was connected, there was a pause for a few seconds before Shen Yang's somewhat nervous voice came through. "Lin Zong, I have contacted the studio where Leo and I are located several times, but their attitude has always been firm, and they are unwilling to cooperate with us." It seemed like Shen Yang was afraid of being scolded by Lin Muyan, as her fingers holding the phone were trembling slightly.
"Send me the address and phone number of the studio, and I will contact them." With the phone nestled in her shoulder, Lin Muyan placed several disposable towels into her luggage and noticed the strange silence from the other end. She furrowed her brow and asked, "Is there a problem?"
"Lin Zong, please don't be angry," Shen Yang took a deep breath and avoided eye contact. "It was Leo who had the studio reject us for Peak. He said our scandal was too much and the company wasn't clean, calling us garbage..."
As soon as the word "garbage" fell, Shen Yang couldn't help but hold his breath. But Lin Muyan did not react as explosively as he had expected, only fell silent for a moment. "Peak's progress is visible to the naked eye. Leo is the one without foresight. He can't see how brilliant Peak's future is. It's okay not to cooperate. I don't want Peak to lower itself to negotiate with him." It's impossible not to be disappointed. Leo's work is highly recognizable in the design world.
If we can get his assistance, peak's performance will skyrocket.
Plus, with Lin Muyan's behind-the-scenes operation, it's highly likely to meet the old man's requirements in less than a year.
But given the current situation, Lin Muyan can only switch to a new strategy.
"Stu Studio No need to contact them anymore. Go find some other designers with more distinctive and impressive impressions than Stu Studio and get in touch with them. Compile the information and give it to me on Monday."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Muyan calmed down for a moment and then got busy again.
A week later, Liu Er Bao was discharged from the hospital. Carrying his luggage, he stood at the door of the ward. Liu Er Bao looked back at the ward where he had stayed for more than seven days with deep reluctance, wiped the nonexistent tears from the corners of his eyes, and took out his phone to snap a few more pictures of the ward. Lin Muyan gave him a cool glance, and Liu Er Bao sheepishly smiled, "It's not easy to stay in a luxury single room at the hospital, such a rare opportunity."
"Sister Yan, do you want to take a picture together?" Liu Er Bao made a "peace" sign at the camera, seeming to have forgotten the pain brought by Li Li with her cheerful appearance.
Lin Muyan said disdainfully not to, but her mouth slowly curved up, and she leaned in under the camera to join Liu Er Bao in acting silly.
Friends are there to unconditionally support and accompany each other in times of pain, and to share joy together in times of happiness, even if it means doing silly things that warm the heart.
Song Xi lives in a dormitory assigned by the school, and Lin Muyan suggested that Liu Er Bao move in with her. Since her apartment doesn't have a dorm supervisor, Liu Er Bao is willing to live however she wants. Before going to Lin Muyan's apartment, Liu Er Bao hesitated and said she needed to first go back to her shared rental house, pack up her luggage, and get her rent deposit back.
During the hospitalization, Lin Muyan mentioned that she needed help with something, but Liu Er Bao thought it would be too much trouble and was also worried that the Li family would interfere and cause trouble for Lin Muyan, so she delayed for a few days. Liu Er Bao lives in the Huinan residential area, which is an old and common neighborhood on the outskirts of the city. Due to its location, the rent is relatively cheap. When living with Li Li, she was basically the only one paying the rent.
Bits and pieces add up to almost two thousand in expenses every month, especially since Li Li is quite the spender. Liu Er Bao's salary is mostly used up by him. When Lin Muyan's beetle entered the neighborhood, it attracted quite a few curious glances. Apparently, this relatively low-profile car is not commonly seen here. Liu Er Bao blushed and didn't let Lin Muyan accompany her, instead running back to their shared rental with the keys.
