Tan Ruifang saw someone come in from the corner of her eye and looked up. Seeing that it was him, she quickly sat up on the bed and put her feet on her shoes. She asked, "Are you leaving?" Li Rui walked in front of her and looked around the room. It was a room slightly bigger than a single room. There were two single beds in the room, which were obviously used for night shifts. There was also a small table. Other than that, there was nothing else. Tan Ruifang was sitting on the bed near the outside, so he could see her immediately. He asked, "Are you guys going to rest here at night?" Tan Ruifang said, "This is a place for napping. In theory, we can't sleep during night shifts." Li Rui said, "Is it hard being a nurse?" Tan Ruifang said, "It's fine once you get used to it."
Li Rui thought about it and agreed. No matter how hard or tiring a job was, as long as you got used to it, you wouldn't feel it. At the same time, he felt that he didn't have the right to ask her if it was hard or not, because his job wasn't necessarily easier than hers.
"Ouch …" Tan Ruifang suddenly cried out in pain and lifted her left leg.
Li Rui frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" Tan Ruifang looked down at her foot and muttered, "I think I got pricked by something … Oh, I see, it's a shoe drill. Eh, why is this drill sticking up?" Li Rui also looked down and saw that there was a beautiful bright silver drill on her left shoe. It was originally flat, but now it was sticking up with one end pointing up. She might have accidentally pricked her foot when she stepped on it. He asked, "How is it? Is it bleeding?" As he spoke, he put his briefcase on the bed. Without asking for her permission, he squatted down and grabbed her left foot. He lifted it up to look.
Before Tan Ruifang could react, her left foot was already in his hands. She was shocked and embarrassed and hurriedly said, "No need … I can see it myself." Li Rui looked up and stared at her and said sternly, "Sit still." Strangely enough, when Tan Ruifang was stared at by him, her shyness instantly disappeared, and her entire body surged with a feeling of being cared for and cherished. Her mood was extremely comfortable, and she couldn't help but listen to him. She obediently sat there without moving, obedient like a little lamb.
Li Rui held her delicate little foot and lifted it towards him. His eyes stared at her red and white soles, carefully checking to see if there was any bleeding. He looked up and down a few times, then nodded and said, "Good, there's no bleeding. Does it hurt?" Tan Ruifang nodded and said, "There's still a little." Li Rui said, "I'll rub it for you." As he spoke, his two thumbs gently rubbed the skin on her soles. Tan Ruifang quickly felt that this wasn't right and said with a red face, "No need, I … I'll do it myself." Li Rui righteously said, "Oh, so you're allowed to serve me and I'm not allowed to serve you?" Tan Ruifang was embarrassed and happy. Her foot was itchy and her face was red and she didn't say anything.
After two minutes, Tan Ruifang's face was burning and her body was burning. Her legs were numb and her heart was aching but she didn't dare to stop him. She just numbly let him massage her.
Li Rui rubbed her foot and stopped. He looked up at her and said, "Have I said that I'll treat you to a meal a long time ago but I haven't done it?" Tan Ruifang angrily said, "You're still talking about it. You're so busy …" Li Rui helped her put on her shoes and stood up and said, "I'll do what I said this time. If I'm free on Sunday night, I'll definitely come and find you." Tan Ruifang was first grabbed by him and then helped to put on her shoes. She felt strange and her heart was numb. Her face was bright red like a bride on her wedding night. She shyly said, "There's no rush, it's up to you … you go do what you need to do. You're the leader." Li Rui lightly smiled and said, "If you keep saying that I'm the leader, we can't be friends anymore." Tan Ruifang hurriedly said, "Then I won't say it in the future."
After leaving the hospital, Li Rui didn't go to Yao Xuefei's place. Instead, he went home. It wasn't good to be away from home all the time. Not only would it make his father worry, but he would also worry about him … Why did everyone want to have a home? It was to have family, warmth, and feelings at home. No matter if it was a high and mighty national leader or a fierce and ruthless outlaw, they would leave a big space for home in their hearts. Only when they were at home would they be able to completely relax.
When he was about to reach the entrance of the neighborhood, he remembered Tan Ruifang's warning. He knew that Ye Shaoqiu and the others might be waiting for him at the entrance of the neighborhood. Although he didn't know their purpose, he knew that they definitely didn't come with good intentions. He played a trick and asked the taxi driver to park the car at the south gate of the neighborhood. After paying the fare, he walked into the neighborhood from the south gate. He walked slowly and looked around to see if there were any suspicious people or vehicles.
He didn't see a single person along the way. He passed by a lot of parked cars, but with the help of the street lights in the neighborhood, he didn't see anyone in any of the cars. He walked until he reached the T-junction that led to the west gate of the neighborhood. From here, he could only walk north, which led to the fifth building where his house was. If he turned left, he would be out of the west gate of the neighborhood. If he turned back, he would walk deeper into the neighborhood, which was also the direction of the south gate. He was already here, but he still didn't see anyone. Did that mean that no one was waiting for him?
Li Rui thought for a while. Since he had nothing to do at home, he might as well walk around and look around. The current situation was that the south gate was safe, but the west gate and the downstairs of his house weren't clear. He decided to check these two places first. Therefore, he turned around and walked out of the west gate.
Just as he walked out of the west gate, he saw a police SUV parked by the roadside of the barbeque restaurant south of the gate. The car's lights were still on, and he could vaguely see a person sitting in the driver's seat. He didn't know who it was, but it definitely wasn't Ye Shaoqiu. His heart skipped a beat. Could this be the person waiting for him?
Li Rui thought for a while and decided to beat him at his own game. He turned around and walked back to the neighborhood. He walked out of the south gate along the same road, then went west and north in a big circle until he reached the side of the road directly across from the west gate of the neighborhood. Only then did he pretend that he had just returned home and swaggered across the road to the west gate. In order to attract the attention of the person in the car, he purposely made a phone call at the gate. After walking around in circles a few times, he walked quickly into the neighborhood.
The fat policeman sat in the police car and was so sleepy that he was confused. He was wondering if he should go home and sleep when he saw a man he suspected to be Li Rui walking around the gate of the neighborhood while making a phone call. He didn't know Li Rui, but he had heard Ye Shaoqiu's description before. He was tall, had short hair, always carried a briefcase in his hand, and came home late at night … The man in front of him looked exactly like Li Rui.
He immediately woke up and stared at Li Rui. When he walked into the neighborhood and couldn't see him anymore, he suddenly came back to his senses and hurriedly drove after him.
Li Rui didn't expect that person to drive after him. He walked to the T-junction and was about to go to his house's fifth building when he heard the sound of a car behind him. He looked back and saw that it was the police car that was parked by the side of the road. His heart skipped a beat. This guy wouldn't have the guts to run him over, right? He subconsciously moved closer to the side of the road and walked to the wall so that he wouldn't have a chance to run into him. Who knew that the car didn't have any intention of running him over. It drove slowly in first gear, just like a student who had just learned how to drive.
Li Rui didn't know what this person was trying to do. He was very confused, but he couldn't ask him. He suppressed his curiosity and walked home.
The fat policeman drove slowly behind him until he reached the intersection of the fifth building. He watched him enter the second unit and waited for a while. He saw that the light in a room on the second floor by the road was on. His heart lit up and he slapped his hands on the steering wheel. He said happily, "2002, it really is him! Haha, we finally found him. "In excitement, he immediately took out his phone and called Ye Shaoqiu.
After the call went through, the fat policeman quickly said to Ye Shaoqiu, "Master Si, we found him. He just got home. Looks like the address is okay. We can find a time to make a move. "Ye Shaoqiu said," Damn, he really came back late. " The fat policeman laughed evilly and said, "The later he comes back the better. The later there are less people outside, the more advantageous it is for us to make a move." Ye Shaoqiu said, "En, that's true. Then let's make some preparations. We'll go tomorrow night. "The fat policeman agreed and said," Okay! Hehe, it's fine if he doesn't come back tomorrow night. As soon as he comes back, he'll become a disabled person. "Ye Shaoqiu said impatiently," Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and get ready! If everything goes well tomorrow night, I'll do what I say. I'll invite you guys to the red pavilion to play with the princess! "
Inside the house, Li Rui finished washing up and went back to his bedroom. He thought about the police car that followed him home and the person in the car. He didn't know if he left or not. His heart skipped a beat. He turned off the lights in the bedroom and walked to the window. He opened the curtains slightly and secretly looked at the intersection. He just happened to see the car turn around and drive away. From beginning to end, he didn't see that person drive the car to his house. He was very confused and didn't know what he was doing.
