"Ah?!"
To Look Around couldn't believe her ears. Boss had betrayed her in a matter of minutes. The corners of her lips twitched slightly, and she raised her hand to point at the tip of her nose, as if she had heard something terrifying.
Ye Zi smiled awkwardly. To Look Around's shoulder heavily, she patted it and said earnestly, "Panda, sacrificing you to make you, me, and him happy is a long way to go. I believe that only you can complete such a resolute task."
To Look Around's lips twitched. She looked at Ye Zi and then at Yao Anmian. "Is this really okay?"
Ye Zi and Yao An looked at each other and said in unison, "There's nothing wrong with it."
It was night, and the night breeze outside the window blew gently. The wind chimes hanging on the window lattice made a tinkling sound. Even at night, Binhai City was still so hot that it was hard to breathe.
Ye Zi tossed and turned on the bed, but she couldn't fall asleep. She kicked the blanket away, and her forehead was already dripping with sweat.
In order to save money, Ye Zi rarely turned on the air conditioner, but on a day like this, the heat was unbearable, and it always made it difficult for her to fall asleep.
She sat up and gulped down a glass of water. Only then did she feel a little cooler.
A night like this was always long. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The lonely moon looked extremely lonely. Ye Zi sat in front of the window. Gusts of night wind blew in, and after a while, the sweat on her face was dried.
Should I turn on the air conditioner to cool down?
Ye Zi really couldn't stand it anymore. Her whole body was wet and sticky. She thought about it and still couldn't bear to pay the electricity bill. She got up and walked to the bathroom.
Forget it, I'll take a cold shower.
Hua la la …
The mist dispersed, and warm water rushed down the top of Ye Zi's head, making her feel refreshed. For a moment, Ye Zi didn't notice the bubbles under her feet. She lost her balance and fell into the bathroom.
"Ah!"
Ye Zi exclaimed. She fell hard. Her ankle hurt badly. She looked down and saw that her ankle was swollen. It was impossible for her to stand up.
What should she do?
She was naked and couldn't move her body. She didn't know where else was hurt other than her ankle.
Ye Zi wanted to ask for help, but …
The towel was still two meters away from Ye Zi. She staggered over, grabbed the towel, and wrapped it around her exquisite body.
But if she asked for help, her phone was still in the bedroom. She knew that she didn't have the ability to climb into the bedroom. She looked around. Now, the only person she could ask for help of was probably Lin Yan.
Ye Zi's brows furrowed deeply. She bit her lower lip and muttered to herself for a while before slapping the bathroom wall with force.
Lin Yan flipped through the thread-bound English book. Floating on the page of the book was a crescent moon, with his faint figure.
He casually flipped to a page and focused his attention on it.
"Dong dong dong …"
Suddenly, he heard a sound. Lin Yan frowned slightly and closed the book.
He walked out of the study and heard the noise getting louder and louder. His eyebrows furrowed even deeper. Lin Yan walked to the bookshelf, and the "Dong Dong Dong" sounds became clearer.
Ye Zi.
Lin Yan frowned slightly, picked up his phone, and dialed Ye Zi's number.
Du du du …
After a busy tone, the call was not connected.
Lin Yan narrowed his eyes. He put down his phone and quickly walked out of the house. He knocked on Ye Zi's door, but there was no response for a long time.
Did something happen to Ye Zi?!
"Ye Zi … Ye Zi …"
Lin Yan anxiously shouted, "Are you home?"
"I … I'm here." Ye Zi's voice was a little weak, and it sounded slightly trembling.
Lin Yan's expression became solemn. Just by listening to her voice, he could conclude that Ye Zi must have met with some trouble. "What happened?"
"I … fell." Ye Zi took a deep breath. Although she did not want the person to save her to be Lin Yan, she had no other choice now. "There is a spare key under the foot pad."
Lin Yan bent over and lifted the foot pad. There really was a key under it. He opened the door of Ye Zi's house and walked in. Just when he was about to turn on the light, he suddenly heard Ye Zi say, "Don't, don't turn on the light. I, I'm in the bathroom."
Lin Yan still did as she said. He did not turn on the light and walked out of the bathroom in the dark.
"Lin Yan, can you, can you turn off the bathroom light first?" Ye Zi's voice was pleading.
"Click."
When the light was turned off, Lin Yan opened the bathroom door. The dense steam blew into his face. Lin Yan saw a petite figure on the floor. He walked over and frowned. "What happened to you?"
"I accidentally fell when I was taking a shower. I don't dare to move now. Can you, can you …"
Lin Yan did not wait for Ye Zi to finish speaking. He directly carried her and turned around to walk out of the bathroom. He placed Ye Zi on the sofa in the living room. Under the moonlight, he frowned and looked at Ye Zi, who was only wrapped in a bath towel. He asked, "Where are you hurt?"
Ye Zi said, "I think it's my ankle."
Without turning on the light, Lin Yan naturally could not see the extent of Ye Zi's injury. After he settled Ye Zi, he walked to the door and pressed the switch. The room was lit up. Only then did Lin Yan know why Ye Zi did not let him turn on the light.
Ye Zi's face was slightly red. He did not know if it was because she had just taken a shower or because she was shy because Lin Yan was looking at her wrapped in a bath towel.
She deeply lowered her head. Her wet hair clung tightly to her face. She bit her lower lip. Her delicate appearance was completely different from her usual self. Lin Yan walked over and lowered his head to look at Ye Zi's ankle.
Ye Zi's ankle was red and swollen like a steamed bun. Lin Yan gently poked it. "Does it hurt here?"
"Ouch …"
Ye Zi sucked in a breath of cold air. Her delicate features twisted together. "It hurts."
"It should be a soft tissue contusion. Don't move for the time being," Lin Yan said.
Ye Zi nodded. But then she thought about it. She still had to go to Zhang Shiqing's office tomorrow. So she asked, "Do you have any way to help me get better faster?"
Lin Yan asked, "Do you have safflower oil?"
Ye Zi pointed under the coffee table. Lin Yan took out the first aid kit. When he opened it, he saw the safflower oil. Then, Lin Yan gently rubbed Ye Zi's ankle. After a while, Ye Zi felt that her ankle was not that painful anymore. She said to Lin Yan embarrassedly, "Thank you."
Lin Yan did not mind. Anyway, he was not sleepy at this time. He just did not expect this girl to be so stupid that she would fall while bathing. He saw that Ye Zi's ankle was not as swollen as before. He put down the safflower oil and said, "If it hurts again at night, you can apply ice to it to reduce the swelling and pain."
"Thank you."
Ye Zi looked at Lin Yan again. She felt that he was not as annoying as he usually was. The jinx could still be used at times like this.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Lin Yan got up and walked towards the door.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something. He stopped and looked at Ye Zi. "Don't put the keys under the footrest. It's not safe."
"Okay. Got it. "Ye Zi nodded and smiled.
Her smile was very beautiful. It was like the rising sun, warm and sunny. It seemed to be able to dispel all the darkness in the world. After watching Lin Yan leave, Ye Zi leaned back on the sofa. But when she closed her eyes, Lin Yan's gentle look kept appearing in front of her.
Her face unknowingly turned red. Ye Zi patted her face to wake her up. But at this moment, her ankle suddenly hurt. Lin Yan had just rubbed her ankle with safflower oil. Now it did not hurt as much. She jumped in front of the fridge with one foot and took out ice to apply on her ankle.
Unknowingly, Ye Zi fell asleep. When she woke up, her ankle was much better.
But at this time, her stomach growled.
Ye Zi staggered as she stood up. Her feet still hurt badly when she touched the ground. She changed her clothes and limped to the door. Just as she opened the door, she saw a bag of food and a note hanging on the doorknob.
"I've already asked for leave for you. Have a good rest."
The contents were written on the note. Lin Yan's handwriting was very beautiful and had a strong character. Ye Zi pursed her lips and smiled. She put away the food and turned to jump into the room.
Ring, ring, ring …
Just after eating the three famous dishes cooked by Lin Yan, Ye Zi's phone suddenly rang.
"Boss, Zhang Shiqing sent me a WeChat message again. He wants me to go to a restaurant near the Muting Group at noon. How are things on your side?"
To Look Around's voice came from the phone.
Ye Zi slightly frowned. Her foot …
Perhaps today's plan would have to be canceled. But time was tight. Ye Zi did not want to lose this opportunity. She pursed her lips and agreed to To Look Around's request. "Promise him first. I'll ask him to pick me up now."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zi asked Yao Anmian to pick her up. In less than half an hour, the silver-white van stopped at the Xinglan Bay Apartments. Ye Zi limped out of the apartment.
Yao Anmian glanced at her and asked in confusion, "Boss, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Zi was about to speak when she couldn't help but think of Lin Yan. Her face instantly turned red. "Nothing. I just sprained it yesterday."
After getting in the car, Yao Anmian gave the matched key to Ye Zi and drove to the Muting Group.
"Wait here. I'll go up first. Keep an eye on Zhang Shiqing. We'll keep in touch." Ye Zi instructed and got out of the car.
When Ye Zi walked into the lobby of the Muting Group, she saw the elevator door open. She quickly shouted, "Wait a minute."
Lin Yan, who was in the elevator, could not help but frown when he heard Ye Zi's voice. Didn't he already tell her not to go to work today? Why did she still come? Lin Yan's hand held the elevator door, and the door slowly opened.
Ye Zi limped into the elevator. Before she saw who was in the elevator, she first thanked him. "Thank you."
"Didn't I tell you to rest at home? Why are you here? "Lin Yan narrowed his eyes, his indifferent yet sharp gaze sweeping over Ye Zi.
