Dong Xuebing used all the seven BACKs he had accumulated over the past few days!
"Why is the bus not here yet? Is there a traffic jam?"
"Who knows? I think there will be two buses next to each other. Let's wait for the next bus with seats."
In front of Dong Xuebing was a busy road, and there were many people complaining about the slow buses. It was the same time when Dong Xuebing was waiting at the bus stop seven minutes ago. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. He had met Xie Huilan at the restaurant not too long ago, and the small river north of the bridge is not far from here. Xie Huilan should have seen the little girl falling into the river. There should be enough time to save her! There is still time!
Dong Xuebing immediately took out his mobile phone and called Xie Huilan!
Ring … ring … ring … ring … ring …
Sister Xie, pick up! Answer the phone now! Don't go into the water! Don't go!
What Dong Xuebing was most worried about happened. Xie Huilan did not answer. Her phone rang more than a dozen times, and no one answered. Oh no … Sister Xie must have thrown her phone to the riverbank and went into the water to save the little girl. No … she might have seen the little girl falling into the water from afar and did not answer the phone!
What should I do? What should I do?
Dong Xuebing almost threw his phone on the floor. God is jealous of me!
No! I must not let Sister Xie die! I must save her!
Although Dong Xuebing does not want to think about it this way, he had to admit that he had lustful thoughts towards Xie Huilan. This has nothing to do with Aunt Xuan. It is purely a man's perverted nature. When Dong Xuebing knew Xie Huilan will be leaving this world, he went crazy. He took out his phone and called Xie Huilan one more time while running towards the small river at the north of Qiao Bei!
Ring … ring … ring … ring … no one answered!
Damn! Dong Xuebing cursed and kept his phone. He ran east like a madman!
Wait for me! I will be there soon! Hang in there! You must hold on!
Dong Xuebing does not know if he can make it in time. All he can do now is run as fast as he can. 50 meters … 100 meters … 200 meters … 300 meters … Suddenly, the word 'water grass' flashed across his mind. Dong Xuebing paused for a second. That old man had told him that there are people nearby who want to save Sister Xie, but they are blocked by the water grass. Even if Dong Xuebing reaches there, there is nothing he can do. He might even lose his life. Dong Xuebing turned his head and saw a small shop at the side of the alley.
"Boss!" Dong Xuebing slammed 100 RMB on the table. "Give me a knife!"
The shop owner was stunned for a moment and didn't move.
Dong Xuebing panicked and slammed his work pass on the table. "Police! Hurry up and get the knife! "
The boss was stunned and hurriedly took out a fruit knife from under the counter. There was even a piece of red apple skin on it. "We don't sell knives. This is for our own use. You …"
Dong Xuebing kept his work pass and fruit knife and ran out of the shop. He used all his strength to run!
Dong Xuebing turned into a small bungalow and walked forward. The streets outside were bustling, but this is a rural area. Not many people clean up the small river on the east side of the road. That's why the river is filled with weeds and rubbish. Sister Xie must be crossing the river to reach the food street on the other side of the road. Dong Xuebing guessed Xie Huilan's route and quickly confirmed the location of the accident. It's near the east side of the river. It must be that place!
I must make it in time! I must make it in time!
500 meters … … 600 meters … … 700 meters … …
3 minutes had passed. In another 3 minutes, the old man will call to inform Dong Xuebing of Xie Huilan's death!
Hurry up, Dong Xuebing! Why are you running so slow?! Hurry up! Hurry up!
3 minutes and 15 seconds had passed … …
3 minutes and 30 seconds had passed … …
Suddenly, Dong Xuebing could see the end of the bungalow. He had come to the food street a few times when they were still in university. He had walked past this road and knew he would be able to see the river after leaving the bungalow. He ran even faster and almost broke his legs!
5 steps!
10 steps!
15 steps!
20 steps!
I'm out! I'm out of the alley!
Dong Xuebing looked at the opposite river. Where is she? Where is she? Where is Xie Huilan?!
50 meters away, there was no ice on the surface of the river. Most of the river was filled with water, and there was a young girl covered in water. She was coughing and covering her throat. There were 3 to 5 middle-aged men and an old man at the riverbank. They were shouting anxiously towards the river, and one of them had his leg in the water. He was holding a bamboo pole and was digging for something!
Found it! Over there!
Dong Xuebing felt his blood rushing to his head. He shouted: "Get out of the way!"
The people at the riverbank were stunned and shouted at Dong Xuebing: "Young man, what are you doing? There are water grass in there! You will also die if you jump into the river! "
The man with the bamboo pole poked the water a few times. "Miss! Grab the pole! "
Dong Xuebing had reached the man. "Take the pole away! I ask you to move away from me! " Before those people could react, Dong Xuebing jumped into the water without even taking off his clothes and shoes. The people on the shore were shocked, and that middle-aged man quickly pulled his bamboo pole to avoid Dong Xuebing. He shouted something about danger, water plants, etc. But Dong Xuebing could not hear him.
Cold, the surroundings were filled with bone-piercing cold!
The water smelled a little fishy, but it wasn't that turbid. The bottom of the dark water was filled with weeds growing in a mess!
Dong Xuebing had just entered the water, and his feet were stuck in the weeds. Luckily, he reacted fast and pulled his feet back to avoid danger. He opened his eyes and ignored the water rushing into his eyes to look for Xie Huilan. Left, right, diagonally above, diagonally below … …
Found her!
Dong Xuebing finally saw Xie Huilan about 2 meters below him. Her face was pale, and her lips were purple from the cold. Her hair was messy, and her eyes were closed. There were no signs of her struggling. She seems to have lost consciousness! Dong Xuebing's heart skipped a beat. Am I too late? Am I too late? But there was no time for Dong Xuebing to think. He endured the pain in his heart and swam towards Xie Huilan. Sister Xie! You must not die! Hang on for a while more! Hang on for a while more, and I will bring you to shore!
His stamina was drained from running all the way. Now, the only thing that kept him going was his determination to save Xie Huilan!
One meter … …
Two meters … …
Dong Xuebing swam over and grabbed Xie Huilan's waist. He used his right hand and feet to pull her up. But Xie Huilan's feet felt like there was a ton of lead on them, and Dong Xuebing could not pull her feet up. He could only see that her right ankle was covered in black seaweed. F * * k! Dong Xuebing pushed the fruit knife away and held Sister Xie's leg with one hand. Then, he slashed the knife horizontally at her feet.
The water grass was cut!
But when Dong Xuebing was about to pull Xie Huilan to the shore, he felt his legs were entangled by the seaweed. Dong Xuebing tried to break free, but the seaweed was getting tighter. He could not break free no matter what he did. Dong Xuebing could feel death approaching. He had no more energy, and there was no air left in his chest!
Am I going to die?
Dong Xuebing had used up all his BACK, and there was no way out. He gritted his teeth and used the last of his strength to cut the water grass around his feet!
Hang on! We are almost at shore!
Dong Xuebing cheered himself on and held onto Xie Huilan's cold body. He swam desperately!
1.5 meters away from the water!
One meter away from the water!
Half a meter away from the water!
Splash! Dong Xuebing finally poked his head out of the water. He was taking deep breaths!
Not dead! I am not dead!
But when Dong Xuebing turned to look at Xie Huilan, his face turned pale. He quickly carried her to the shore!
The people at the shore were shocked by Dong Xuebing's actions. They did not expect Dong Xuebing to carry a fruit knife with him!
"How is that girl?"
"Quick, save her. Is she still alive?"
The exhausted Dong Xuebing carried Xie Huilan and lay her flat on the shore. He touched her nose. One second … two seconds … Dong Xuebing was stunned. He quickly grabbed her wrist to check her pulse. One second … two seconds … three seconds … Dong Xuebing looked at Xie Huilan's pale face in a daze. He did not say a word.
She is not breathing. Her heart is not beating. Sister Xie … is dead.
Dead? Dead? I did not make it in time?
The people at the shore saw Dong Xuebing's expression and knew what happened. Some of them sighed, and some looked away.
Suddenly, the child, who was saved by Xie Huilan, shouted: "The teacher had said to do mouth-to-mouth resuscitation at this moment. Brother, hurry up and save me!"
F * ck! That's right! CPR!
Dong Xuebing had a glimmer of hope in his heart, and he immediately got on top of Xie Huilan. He pressed on her chest with both hands. Once, twice, thrice. Suddenly, Xie Huilan was spitting out water from her mouth. Dong Xuebing lowered his head and hesitated for a while before kissing Xie Huilan's cold lips. He blew into her mouth. Once, twice, thrice … Dong Xuebing got up and continued to press on Xie Huilan's chest!
"Sister Xie! Open your eyes! Quick! Quick! Don't die! Quick! "
One time … two times … three times …
One time … two times … three times …
"Xie Huilan! You wake up! Can you hear me? Quick! "
After a few CPR attempts, Xie Huilan was still not moving.
The old man beside Dong Xuebing sighed. "Young man, do you know this girl? Sigh … … Inform her family. "
The child began to sob and weep. The rest of the people also do not think the woman on the floor can survive.
Dong Xuebing heard this and got mad. "Inform my ass! Who the hell says she is dead? Ah? " Whenever Dong Xuebing is in a bad mood, he likes to scold people. This is the trait of Beijing people, and it's normal for a proper Beijing resident to swear. "Xie Huilan! Wake up! Now! Now! "
Dong Xuebing pressed on Xie Huilan's chest a few times and kissed her on the lips. Huff … huff … huff … huff …
"Cough … cough … cough …" It's Xie Huilan coughing!
Dong Xuebing's mouth was filled with Xie Huilan's saliva!
"Ah! She is coughing! "
"She is alive! She is alive! "
"Aunty …"
Dong Xuebing's eyes were red, and he continued to press on Xie Huilan's chest. She is alive! Sister Xie is alive!
After a while, Xie Huilan vomited a few more mouthfuls of saliva and looked around. She smiled. "What happened to me?"
Dong Xuebing stopped pressing on Xie Huilan's chest. "You can still smile? Do you know that you almost died? "
Xie Huilan rubbed her face and remembered something. "What about the child?"
"You had saved the child." Dong Xuebing got down from Xie Huilan's body. "He is lying on the shore. He is fine."
"Aunty … … Sob … … I am fine. Thank you."
Xie Huilan smiled and nodded. But she was too weak and did not make a loud sound. "Xiao Dong, why are you here? Didn't I get entangled by the seaweed? Cough … … "Xie Huilan twisted her neck and coughed a few times." I remember struggling for a while, but I can't get rid of it. Cough … … How come I am still alive? "
Dong Xuebing was impressed by Xie Huilan's calmness. "I was just passing by."
After you fell into the water, we wanted to save you from the shore, but the water was full of water plants, so no one could go down. We could only give you a bamboo pole, but you seemed to have lost consciousness. At this time, the young man beside you ran over from afar, and without any hesitation, he jumped into the water to save you. We were all dumbfounded, thinking that the young man would also … Who knew that he actually had a fruit knife on him, and he happened to cut the water plants to save you. But when you came ashore, you didn't breathe, and your heart didn't beat. We all thought that you couldn't make it. It was this young man who saved you who didn't give up and kept giving you mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Only then did you wake up. "
A middle-aged man also said. "You are lucky to meet this young man."
Another man added. "That's right. It's all thanks to this young man. It's rare to see people risking their lives to save others in this era." To them, Xie Huilan had jumped into the river to save Dong Xuebing because she does not know there are aquatic plants in the river. But Dong Xuebing jumped into the river to save Dong Xuebing is different. Everyone had warned him not to jump into the river, but he still jumped into the river without hesitation. Everyone was shocked by this.
Xie Huilan, who was lying on the riverbank, heard what everyone said and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Ah … … I don't know what to say."
"It's fine as long as you are fine." Dong Xuebing was exhausted, and the moment he heaved a sigh of relief, he could no longer stand up. He lay on the ground panting. Actually, Dong Xuebing was not as noble as they thought. Sister Xie had helped him a lot in the past, and he does not want a woman he likes to die in front of him.
Xie Huilan was the most touched. She does not understand why Xiao Dong appeared at this place and why he is carrying a fruit knife. She also does not understand why Xiao Dong, whom she had only met a few times, would risk his life to jump into the river to save her!
A word of gratitude is not enough to express how grateful she is to Dong Xuebing.
But she still wants to say. "Xiao Dong, thank you. Thank you."
After a while, the police cars and ambulance arrived.
Dong Xuebing had recovered some energy and stood up. He reached out to help Xie Huilan. "Sister Xie, let me help you to the ambulance."
Xie Huilan frowned and shook her head. She said in a trembling voice. "Tell them that I will not be going to the hospital. Cough … … It's not a big deal. Furthermore, how can I let everyone go to the hospital to visit me during Lunar New Year? This is the disadvantage of being in the government service. Cough … … You should know." Although the temperature is not below zero degrees Celsius, it is still winter. Xie Huilan was drenched and shivered. The coat she had borrowed from someone earlier is useless, as her clothes are too wet. As a woman, it's not appropriate for her to take it off in public.
Dong Xuebing said. "You are cold and coughing. You should go to the hospital. It's just a temporary bed, and no one will know you are in the hospital." Dong Xuebing knows what Xie Huilan is worried about. If he is hospitalized during the Lunar New Year, he also does not want to tell his parents, family, and colleagues. How can he have the mood to entertain his subordinates and colleagues when he is sick? Even if they give him some gifts, it will be troublesome. "Just don't tell anyone."
Xie Huilan laughed. "Listen to me. I will not go to the hospital. I dare to guarantee that if I enter the hospital … … cough … … within five minutes, my family and colleagues will know. I don't want them to come over."
Dong Xuebing was stunned. "You don't need to use your identity card to register?"
Xie Huilan smiled and said. "Let's not talk about this. Come, help me back … … cough … … "
Dong Xuebing helped her up. "If you don't want others to know, my house is not far away. Can you come over to my place first?"
"It's Lunar New Year. It's too troublesome. Let's … go to my brother's place."
"It's fine. I am the only one at home."
Xie Huilan looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed. "Ok … … Sorry for the trouble."
Dong Xuebing spoke to the ambulance and waited for them to leave. He went to the riverbank to collect Xie Huilan's high heels, handbag, and phone. But she only has one pair of heels left. She might have dropped it into the river when she was taking it off. Dong Xuebing helped Xie Huilan to the police car and said to an officer about his age. "Brother, can I discuss something with you? Can you send me and my leader to North Heping Street? It's not far. "
That officer hesitated for a while. "I will call a taxi for you."
Dong Xuebing took out his wet identity card from his pocket. "We are from the same system. Thank you."
The policeman was startled for a moment before he smiled happily and said, "Alright then, get in the car."
North Heping Street.
The police car stopped in the estate. It's not far from the stairs. Dong Xuebing thanked the two officers and helped Xie Huilan alight from the car. Xie Huilan was wearing a pair of wet stockings, and she can't walk with only one pair of high heels. So, Dong Xuebing took off his shoes. "Wear my shoes."
Xie Huilan raised her hand to stop Dong Xuebing. "It's fine. Just bear with it."
"The floor is full of firecrackers, and it will hurt your feet."
"But I can't let you walk barefoot."
"Then I … … carry you upstairs?"
Xie Huilan nodded, and Dong Xuebing bent down to carry her. Suddenly, he felt something on his back. Dong Xuebing calmed himself down and hugged Xie Huilan's thighs. He stood up and walked upstairs. He did not put Xie Huilan down and carried her into the bedroom. He placed her on the bed carefully. "Take off your wet clothes and take a hot shower. If not, you will catch a cold."
Xie Huilan replied weakly. "I am feeling dizzy, and I can't take a shower. I need to rest for a while."
Dong Xuebing looked at her worriedly, and his eyes lingered on her sexy lips for a second. He remembered how many times he had kissed her during CPR, and he blushed. He grabbed a few pieces of his clothes from the wardrobe and hugged them. "Ok. If you are not feeling well, just let me know. I will close the door for you." Dong Xuebing thought for a while and said. "Let me get you a cup of warm water. You can drink some to warm up your body."
"My stomach is full of fishy river water. Cough, cough, cough, I don't want to drink any water now." Xie Huilan smiled. "Xiao Dong, you are the one who saved my life. You don't need to be so polite. Haha … … I am also not your leader."
Dong Xuebing knew after this incident, his relationship with Xie Huilan will improve. But there must be a process, and he cannot be too casual. Also, Xie Huilan is very domineering, and Dong Xuebing cannot be casual. "Ok. Have a rest first."
After closing the door, Dong Xuebing went to the bathroom to remove his wet clothes and take a shower.
The scalding hot water splashed onto his body, and the feeling was indescribably comfortable. His entire body warmed up, and his stuffy nose instantly cleared up. Xie Huilan, who had turned into a corpse, was miraculously saved by him using BACK. BACK was too useful, and it had changed his life a lot. Ever since he got BACK from that car accident, his life had become smoother. He can get whatever he wants, and whatever he wants will come true. Haha … I don't know what else to say!
After showering, Dong Xuebing changed into a set of clean clothes and felt refreshed.
After blow-drying his hair, Dong Xuebing wanted to go out to check on Xie Huilan. But before he could step out of the bathroom, he heard the bedroom door opening and heard footsteps approaching. The next moment, a naked Xie Huilan appeared at the bathroom door. She covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom. She did not even look at the stunned Dong Xuebing. She held onto the toilet bowl and started to vomit out the water in her stomach.
Dong Xuebing was stunned. That naked body … it's … Damn! Why is she not wearing anything?!
Luckily, Dong Xuebing had tasted women before and had seen Aunt Xuan's naked body. He quickly covered his eyes and reached over to pat Xie Huilan's back to make her vomit more comfortable. At the same time, he also wanted to help her when she lost her balance. Actually, Dong Xuebing can't see Xie Huilan's body if he turns his head or closes his eyes. But this is not a problem of whether he can see it or not. He must let the leader know that he cannot see it.
Xie Huilan's back is slightly damp, but her skin is smooth. Dong Xuebing could feel her bones on his palms. She is so skinny.
After patting her back for a while, Xie Huilan's vomiting sounds become softer. After a while, Xie Huilan said in a hoarse voice. "Thank you. Haha … I'm sorry."
Huh? How can you still laugh at this moment? "Let me help you back to your room?"
"Let me rinse my mouth first." Xie Huilan's footsteps were shaky, and she seems to be feeling dizzy.
"Don't walk by yourself. You might fall again." Dong Xuebing covered his eyes. "Give me your arm. I will help you."
"Haha … it's fine. Open your eyes. I am fine."
Dong Xuebing got a fright. "Ah … how can I do that?" Dong Xuebing heard Xie Huilan was still walking on her own, and he was afraid she would fall. He had just showered, and the floor was still slippery. So, he removed his hand from his eyes and squinted his eyes. He looked at Xie Huilan and grabbed her arm to support her. Both of them walked to the pool.
Xie Huilan was more thick-skinned than Qu Yunxuan. She did not use her hands to cover her breasts and crotch. She calmly turned on the tap and washed her face. After that, she turned around and smiled at Dong Xuebing. "I have to let you help me up. My head is still dizzy. Haha … Let's go back to the room?"
Dong Xuebing quickly covers his eyes. "Ok. Walk slowly."
"How can you walk with your eyes closed? It's fine. Just open your eyes. "
"Err …" Even Dong Xuebing's leader is not shy. Why should he be shy?
Dong Xuebing opened his eyes slowly. But he did not look forward as he will be able to see Xie Huilan's naked body. He looked in the opposite direction and helped Xie Huilan back to her room. After Xie Huilan got under the blanket, Dong Xuebing opened his eyes and took out a white shirt and a pair of trousers from his wardrobe. "Sister Xie, I had not worn these clothes before, and I had washed them. If you don't mind, can you make do with them? I will buy some clothes for you in the afternoon. "She cannot be naked when she goes to the toilet.
"Haha … thank you."
Dong Xuebing placed the clothes on the bedside table and saw Xie Huilan's wet clothes on the chair. He wanted to ask for her opinion, but Xie Huilan had closed her eyes. Dong Xuebing swallowed his words and carried the clothes in his arms. He closed the door and carried the clothes to the bathroom. He soaked the clothes in the porcelain basin and placed the faded clothes in the plastic basin.
Xie Huilan's bra was black, and there was a red flower embroidered on it. It was very seductive.
Dong Xuebing was surprised. He did not expect Xie Huilan, a Central Government leader, to wear such sexy underwear. Shouldn't the higher one's rank, the more conservative one should be. Huh … no one can see the underwear inside. Who will know if it is sexy?
Dong Xuebing swallowed his saliva and started to wash Xie Huilan's clothes.
Sigh … Is Sister Xie married? She only has one person at home, and she should still be single. If Dong Xuebing can get the chance to marry her, it will be great. Dong Xuebing's political wisdom is not high, and Sister Xie is smart. She can help him with his work, and she is also a government official. She will be helpful to Dong Xuebing's career. But Dong Xuebing was only fantasizing. Xie Huilan was so pretty and had a high rank. She was also older than him. Why would she like him? Also, Dong Xuebing still wants to date Aunt Xuan. How can he be half-hearted?
Long johns … shirt … trousers … coat …
After washing all the clothes, Dong Xuebing put the clothes that can be dried into the fling machine and continue to wash Xie Huilan's stockings.
The stockings might have stepped on the ground at the riverside and were slightly torn. There is no need to wash them, but Dong Xuebing still washed them carefully. Dong Xuebing seldom washes women's clothes. It was not because he wants to flatter Xie Huilan. He just wants to satisfy his inner desires. If he missed this opportunity, he will never have the chance to touch the underwear and stockings of the Central Government's leaders in the future. There will be no more opportunities like this if he missed this opportunity!
After washing all the clothes, Dong Xuebing was satisfied. He hung all the clothes around the heater in the living room.
Dong Xuebing tiptoed into the bedroom to check on Xie Huilan. But all he saw was a naked body. Xie Huilan might have turned around a few times, and her back is facing Dong Xuebing. Her back is facing Dong Xuebing, and the back of her body is exposed outside the blanket. He suppressed his urges and walked over to the bed. He covered his eyes and covered Xie Huilan with the blanket. Actually, he did not cover his eyes, but he must cover his eyes. Who knows if Xie Huilan will wake up suddenly? Covering his eyes is also a sign of respect to her.
Phew, I'm really lucky today. I hugged her in the water, kissed her on the shore, carried her on my back in front of the house, saw her naked in the toilet, looked at her underwear and touched her stockings …
Dong Xuebing looked at his watch and went downstairs to buy some clothes and shoes for Xie Huilan. Dong Xuebing carried Xie Huilan's black heels and went to the nearby shopping mall to buy a pair of heels of the same size and color. After that, he went to the women's clothing counter to change his clothes. After paying, he went to the pharmacy on the first floor of the shopping mall to buy some cold medicine and fever medicine before returning home.
More than an hour had passed, and Dong Xuebing wonders if Sister Xie had woken up.
Click … click … Dong Xuebing opened the door with a bag of clothes and heard Xie Huilan talking on the phone the moment he entered.
"… … I am here to wish you a happy new year. Haha … … You don't need to come over. I … … Cough … … I am not at home … … It's fine. I just caught a cold … … Ok … … Cough … … Haha … … I appreciate your kind intentions, but you don't need to come all the way here. Alright? "Xie Huilan was leaning against the bathroom door frame. Her hair was wet and smelled of shampoo. She had changed into Dong Xuebing's shirt and casual pants. The shirt and pants were slightly big, but it still fit her well. After hanging up, Xie Huilan rubbed her brows and looked at Dong Xuebing. She looked at the bra and long johns hanging in the living room. "… … Sorry. Haha … I had asked you to help me wash my clothes."
Dong Xuebing blushed and quickly said. "I think the clothes are fine. The river water smells, and if I don't wash them early, they will not come out at night. That's why I … … Errr … … I had hung them in the living room because there is heating. If it is not good, I will hang them on the drying rack. But I will dry them slower. "
Xie Huilan waved her hand. "It's fine. You don't have to be so polite."
"Oh … … You had showered? How are you feeling? "
"I had washed up, and my head is still spinning. I might be having a fever."
"Ah … … I had bought some fever medicine. Oh, I had also bought your clothes and high heels. You should wear new ones. My clothes are not … not good." Dong Xuebing waved the pile of clothes in his hands and saw Xie Huilan's shirt. His heart started to race. His shirt was white and thin, and Xie Huilan was not wearing anything inside. Her breasts had left two marks on the shirt. Dong Xuebing could clearly see the marks and curves of her breasts.
It's impossible for Xie Huilan not to notice this. But she is calm and did not try to hide it. She smiled and shrugged her shoulders. "Your clothes are nice, and it's more comfortable. Haha … I will change into the clothes you bought before I leave. I don't have any energy now. Cough … … Oh, these clothes are expensive, right? Come, I will get the money for you. "
Dong Xuebing helped Xie Huilan up and said. "Don't talk to me about money. Let's check your temperature first."
Dong Xuebing took out the thermometer from the drawer and passed it to Xie Huilan. Dong Xuebing knew it was not convenient for Xie Huilan to unbutton her clothes while he was here. He went into the kitchen and used the leftover rice from yesterday to make some porridge. When Dong Xuebing came out with the porridge, Xie Huilan also took out the thermometer.
Dong Xuebing exclaimed. "No wonder you are feeling dizzy. You are having a high fever. Drink this porridge first and then take your medicine." Dong Xuebing blew on the hot porridge and put a spoon into the porridge. He passed the bowl to Xie Huilan carefully. "Be careful. It's hot." Dong Xuebing was really concerned about Xie Huilan. This was the kind of concern a man should have for a woman. But Dong Xuebing cannot let Xie Huilan know about this. If Xie Huilan knew he had feelings for her, their relationship would be ruined. So, Dong Xuebing tried to show an expression like a subordinate caring for his leader.
After finishing the porridge and taking her medicine, Dong Xuebing carried Xie Huilan back to her room and laid her down.
Dong Xuebing thought Xie Huilan had only swallowed a few mouthfuls of water and should be fine. Now, her fever is so high, and it's better for her to go to the hospital. But Dong Xuebing did not suggest this. He had already suggested this to Xie Huilan at the riverbank, but Xie Huilan did not listen to him. If Dong Xuebing asked her to go to the hospital now, she might get the impression that he chased her away. This will not be good. Some words can be said twice, but not thrice.
Xie Huilan lay under the blanket and looked at Dong Xuebing. "Not only you saved my life, but you are also taking care of me during Lunar New Year. Cough … cough … cough …"
Dong Xuebing pulled the blanket over her. "It's what I should do. I have nothing to do these few days, and I don't mind taking care of you for a few more days. Oh, do you need to … call your husband?" Dong Xuebing was trying to test Xie Huilan.
Xie Huilan smiled and smoothed her bangs. "I am still single. What about you? Do you have a girlfriend? "
Not married? Dong Xuebing laughed in his heart. "Errr … I also … I don't have a girlfriend."
"Haha … you are promoted to Deputy Section Chief at such a young age, and there will surely be people gossiping behind your back. I had also experienced the same thing in the past. If you want my advice, you should consider getting married. At least, there will be fewer people saying you are too young and immature." Xie Huilan smiled. "Haha … but I am not in the position to criticize you. My side is also … Hmmm … it's better to live alone, right?"
"You are right."
"You … you … you … you …" Xie Huilan shook her head and laughed. "Don't treat me as your leader, ok?"
"Huh? Ok." Dong Xuebing thought to himself. You have so much authority, and you keep saying 'ok', 'right', 'right' and 'wrong'. How can I not treat you as my leader? But Dong Xuebing knew Xie Huilan is not to be blamed. He had been in her position for a few years, and his tone will not change in a day or two. "Are you feeling better now?"
"Much better. My throat is not as dry as before."
"Good. What do you want to eat tonight? Something light or a combination of meat and vegetables? I am not good at cooking. Do you want me to go out and buy a few dishes? "
"Don't bother. Just have some porridge." Xie Huilan suddenly patted the bedside table. "Xiao Dong, come over and sit down."
