Wu Hao opened the car door and placed Xu Wennuan in the passenger seat. After helping her fasten her seatbelt, he looked up at her.
The girl's face was frighteningly pale. The corners of her tightly shut eyes were moist, and tears kept flowing out.
Wu Hao held his breath for a moment and swallowed hard before saying, "I'll take you home first, and I'll come back later to help you drive the car back, okay?"
Ever since Jiang Qianqian's kidnapping incident, Xu Wennuan and Wu Hao were no longer as distant and distant as they had been when they had broken up. Thus, when she heard Wu Hao's words, she did not object or open her eyes. She merely nodded her head silently, and as she did so, a tear rolled down her cheek and landed on her shirt.
Wu Hao stared at the tear stain on Xu Wennuan's chest for a few seconds before he closed the car door, walked around the front of the car, and got in.
When he started the car, Wu Hao looked through the window at the building where Lu Bancheng's apartment was located before he stepped on the accelerator and drove in the direction of Xu Wennuan's apartment.
The two of them did not exchange a single word on the way home. Occasionally, when the car stopped at a red light, Wu Hao would glance at Xu Wennuan through the rearview mirror.
When he had rushed over after receiving Lu Bancheng's text message, he had seen her squatting on the ground, crying her heart out. She had cried for so long that her eyes were swollen, but tears still flowed silently from the corners of her eyes from time to time.
Wu Hao's hands involuntarily tightened around the steering wheel, and an indescribable pain pressed against his chest. It was unbearable.
… …
Wu Hao stopped his car to buy a bottle of safflower oil when he passed by a pharmacy.
When the car stopped at Xu Wennuan's apartment, Wu Hao got out of the car first and walked around to the passenger seat. Just as he opened the car door, before he could reach out to hug Xu Wennuan, she said, "Thank you for taking me home. I'll go up myself."
Wu Hao's outstretched hand stopped abruptly, and he stared at Xu Wennuan with clear eyes before he pulled his hand back.
Xu Wennuan endured the pain of her ankle sprain, got out of the car, and limped toward the building.
She almost fell on the stairs, and Wu Hao, who was following behind her, rushed forward to help her. Without looking at Wu Hao, she said, "Thank you." She pulled her arm away and continued to walk toward the building. Wu Hao was still worried, so he followed her from behind, keeping a one-meter distance between them.
When they entered the apartment, Xu Wennuan removed her shoes carefully because of the severe pain in her ankle. When she gasped for the second time, Wu Hao, who had been standing behind her without a word, lifted her into his arms and walked to the sofa. He placed her on it, squatted down in front of her, and gently removed her shoes.
Just as he was about to hold her foot to check the extent of her sprain, Xu Wennuan shrank her foot back. Wu Hao pursed his lips tightly and pretended not to see her resistance. He forcefully held her fair foot and, despite her struggling, checked it several times to ensure that it had not hurt her tendons or bones before he heaved a sigh of relief. He then took out the safflower oil from his pocket, twisted open the cap, and was just about to pour it into his palm to massage it when Xu Wennuan said, "I'll do it myself."
Wu Hao stopped what he was doing and looked up to meet Xu Wennuan's eyes.
"I'll massage it myself," Xu Wennuan emphasized again.
