CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 52: I WAS AFRAID YOU’D HURT

Ling Tianyou originally wanted to scold her, but seeing her looking so haggard, he couldn’t bring himself to do it: "Your arm is fractured, so you’ll need to stay here for a while. I’ll be here watching over you, don’t even think about going anywhere!"

Only then did Gu Ningyue realize one of her hands felt numb, while the other had medical tape from an IV: "What about Chi Xingtong? She wasn’t hurt, was she?"

If Xing Tong was taken away without any injury, she really took that hit for nothing.

"Did you get hit on the head too? Lost your memory?" Ling Tianyou’s voice was icy, "Weren’t you quite brave during the fight?"

If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t believe that the entire ward full of people on IV drips was all thanks to Ning Yue.

Finally realizing, Ning Yue reached out to stroke his face endearingly: "Are you mad?"

Ling Tianyou paused: "Shouldn’t I be mad?"

Ning Yue’s pale face showed a hint of a smile: "Don’t be mad at me, okay? I was wrong! Really, from now on, I won’t let myself get hurt again. Look how pathetic I am, won’t you smile for me?"

Her hand was cool and soft, and felt nice against his face.

Ling Tianyou seized the opportunity to grab her hand, "Don’t think a few soft words can get you off the hook. You always say you’re wrong, but you never change."

Last night, seeing her stagger while walking made him feel uneasy all over.

"This time I’ve really changed." Ning Yue’s clear eyes blinked: "Won’t you stop blaming me, okay?"

"No way!" Ling Tianyou looked at her: "Stop it with this act!"

"Alright!" Ning Yue withdrew her hand and carefully moved to the side of the bed, "I want to go to the bathroom."

Seeing her situation, Ling Tianyou quickly supported her good hand, "I’ll help you get there."

Ning Yue was taken aback, "I’m fine, my hand is hurt, not my leg."

"Alright! Then go on your own!" Ling Tianyou hesitated, then suddenly released her hand with a teasing expression: "Don’t come asking me for help later!"

Ning Yue didn’t believe him, "No way I will!"

But despite saying that, the next moment Ning Yue regretted it.

Why did her legs feel weak and numb, almost like they weren’t her own?

Could it be her legs were hit too? How is that possible? Besides the hit on her hand, those people didn’t even get close.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Ling Tianyou couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle: "Tsk."

Ning Yue sat on the bed, slowly turned her head: "Ling Tianyou, did you give me a full anesthetic?"

Ling Tianyou’s mouth curved slightly upward: "Who would’ve thought you’re not entirely clueless!"

Ning Yue: "???"

Ning Yue looked completely puzzled, a whole-arm fracture, why would she need a full anesthetic?

"I was afraid you’d feel pain." Seeing her shocked and confused face, Ling Tianyou gave a very considerate answer.

"Damn it..." Ning Yue cursed quietly while facing away from Ling Tianyou.

"What did you say? Say it louder!" Ling Tianyou grinned teasingly.

Ning Yue shook her head, turned around, and replaced it with a gentle smile: "Will you help me? I can’t walk anymore."

Ling Tianyou was definitely doing it on purpose, absolutely on purpose!

This cunning man must be angry she didn’t call him as soon as she got into trouble, so he’s taking it out on her.

"Didn’t you just say you didn’t need help?" Ling Tianyou not only ignored her, but he sat down on the chair and crossed his arms: "Beg me."

Ning Yue: "... Beg you, President Ling."

Ling Tianyou smirked: "Call me Daddy!"

Ning Yue: "You have that kind of hobby???"

"It seems you can still move after all, right?" Ling Tianyou pretended not to hear, slowly looked at her and asked: "So you don’t need me then?"

Ning Yue held back, fine, just a name, it’s not like it’s really official.

"Daddy..."

Ling Tianyou asked knowingly: "For what?"

"I, want, to, go, to, the, bathroom!" If she could, Ning Yue would certainly punch him in the head: "Can you help me?"

Ling Tianyou chuckled, finally stood up: "Of course."

As he spoke, Ning Yue was suddenly picked up by strong arms.

"—However, it’s too troublesome to support you, this is more convenient, right? Good daughter."

Ning Yue rested in his arms, feeling like this person is definitely a devil! Definitely!

Once they reached the restroom in the ward, Ling Tianyou placed her on the toilet: "Need me to help you take off your pants?"

Ning Yue’s face turned red, not knowing whether with embarrassment or anger: "No need, I can do it!"

Luckily Ling Tianyou finally stopped teasing her, leaving just a "Call me when you’re done" before turning and leaving the bathroom.

Shutting the door, he let a mischievous smile play on his lips.

Seems like this little tiger is going to turn into a clingy little cat for a while!

A few minutes later, the sound of flushing was followed by a long silence.

After some time, the sound of running water for handwashing began.

Ling Tianyou couldn’t help laughing out loud, this girl, still quite stubborn!

The bathroom door opened, Ning Yue leaned against the wall and looked at him: "I’m done, I can manage..."

Before she finished speaking, Ling Tianyou picked her up again, "You’re a patient now, you need to be obedient."

Ning Yue: "..." So now she was losing all her rights as a person?

Gently putting her back on the bed, Ling Tianyou reached out to tidy her messy long hair: "Hungry? Want to eat something?"

With that said, Ning Yue’s stomach cooperated by growling a couple of times: "A bit, really craving lily soup!"

Ling Tianyou nodded, "Okay."

Ning Yue glanced at the clock on the wall: "So late, is there still some?"

This hour, the shops might be closed!

Ling Tianyou picked up his phone and turned to go out.

Due to her limited mobility, Ning Yue could only watch as Ling Tianyou left the hospital room.

The night was long, she originally thought she’d have to wait a long time, but soon Ling Tianyou returned with lily soup and opened the door.

Ning Yue was pleasantly surprised: "You really bought it?"

"I also got your favorite sweet and sour fish, but eat only a little." Ling Tianyou placed the takeout items on the table: "Otherwise it’ll be too overwhelming."

The aroma from the food containers filled the ward, and already hungry Ning Yue couldn’t help but feel her appetite grow.

But when she received the chopsticks from Ling Tianyou, she remembered that it was her right hand injured???

Clumsily picking up a piece of fish, and before reaching her mouth, it fell back into the bowl.

Seeing her like this, Ling Tianyou took her chopsticks: "I’ll feed you!"

Though a bit embarrassed, Ning Yue couldn’t resist the temptation once the deboned fish was offered to her mouth, she ate it: "Thank you!"

Ling Tianyou’s eyes glimmered softly, "Truly thank me once I’m better, okay!"
