Lin Jiayi clutched her phone tightly as she sat on the floor of the changing room for a long time. Only then did she slowly stand up, casually grab a sleeping robe, and wrap it around herself.
The wound on her leg wasn't serious, but it had bled quite a bit. She went to the living room and rummaged through the drawers to look for the medicine box to disinfect it and apply a band-aid, but she couldn't find it at all.
She picked up her phone again, wanting to call her assistant and ask her to buy some band-aids from the pharmacy. However, when she unlocked the screen, she saw the text message that Xia Shangzhou had sent her a few minutes ago. [CEO Lin, is everything okay for you to call me?]
[Boss Lin, are you alright?]
He sent two consecutive messages. There weren't any fancy words, but she could tell that he was worried about her.
Yet, he appeared to be very restrained, just like how he had always been by her side … She thought that he was probably trying his best to conceal his inner thoughts.
Lin Jiayi raised her hand and replied: [I'm fine.]
She was just about to exit the chat with Xia Shangzhou to tap on her assistant's number when she suddenly remembered that Xia Shangzhou had always been the one to tidy up her things for her. Thus, she casually sent another message: [Right, Navigator, where did you put my medicine box?]
A second after she sent the message, her phone received an incoming call.
It was from Xia Shangzhou.
Lin Jiayi picked up the call, and Xia Shangzhou's voice sounded from the other side. Even though he had tried his best to restrain himself, Lin Jiayi could still sense his anxiety. "Boss Lin, are you sick?"
"Boss Lin, why didn't you go to the hospital if you were sick?"
Lin Jiayi quickly replied, "It's nothing. I just accidentally knocked myself over."
Lin Jiayi paused for a moment before continuing, "Do you still remember where you put your medicine box?"
"Boss Lin, you're at home …" Xia Shangzhou didn't answer her question.
"That's right …"
"In that case, Chief Lin, please wait for me for a moment. The medicine in your house has probably passed its expiry date. No one has changed the medicine in these few months, so don't use it for now. I'll go buy some new ones and send them over to you …"
As Xia Shangzhou's words drifted into Lin Jiayi's ears, she heard noises coming from the other end of the line. It was the sound of him putting on his clothes. Soon, there was the sound of him opening and closing the door.
"Boss Lin, I'll hang up first. I'm already out …"
Recovering from her daze, Lin Jiayi replied with an "Oh", but she didn't stop him from coming.
Xia Shangzhou did not speak again. When he heard her reply, he hung up the phone.
Lin Jiayi had no idea what she was feeling so nervous about. In the past, she would meet with Xia Shangzhou every day, and she would act as casually as she did with him. In fact, there were even times when she would ask Xia Shangzhou to help her zip up the back of her dress … It had only been two months since they last met, and just as they were about to meet again … she actually felt so nervous … What the heck!
Lin Jiayi really suspected that Xia Shangzhou had come over on a rainbow-colored cloud. Ten minutes after he hung up the phone, her doorbell rang.
Almost reflexively, she ran to the entrance and glanced at the surveillance camera on the wall. When she saw that it was Xia Shangzhou, she pushed the door open.
