Chapter 539 Gentleman Langlang (2)

Xu Jiamu cleared her throat. She kept feeling that the atmosphere in the room was strange after she mentioned him being her boyfriend. If theres nothing else, Ill get going first.

Ill send you back. Qiao Xiyan felt uncomfortable. He didnt know what he was unhappy about.

Ill do it. I can buy the medicine on the way, Duan Linbai said bluntly.

Xu Jiamus heart skipped a beat, but she could only follow Duan Linbai out of the hotel.

***

Duan Linbais a.s.sistant drove them to a 24-hour pharmacy. Xu Jiamu followed Duan Linbai in. But when he was buying the medicine and scanning the QR code to pay, he turned around and found that the person behind him had disappeared.

Where is she? Duan Linbai opened the car door. Other than his a.s.sistant, there was no one else.

Miss Xu said that since were going back to the hotel, you told her to go back first. I did? Duan Linbai was stunned. The a.s.sistant tugged at his hair. He had wanted to say that his little boss was really cold-blooded. He asked someone to help him in the middle of the night, but he actually let the young lady go back alone?

Xu Jiamu! Duan Linbai tightened his grip on the convenience bag in his hand. Am I a devil? Why are you running away so quickly? Xu Jiamu couldnt be blamed for this. At this moment, she still remembered that she had knocked a certain someone out with a knifehand strike last year. Later, she found out that she had done something stupid in front of a big shot of the Jing family. It was just like playing with a big knife in front of a master!

She definitely had to run for her life.

At this moment, Duan Linbai looked at the bright hotel logo not far away. Give her a call. If she cant get a taxi, send her back. Even if she gets a taxi, go to the school and confirm that shes safe and sound. Call me afterward. Ill go back to the hotel to deliver the medicine.

Little Boss, are you walking back to the hotel? Little Jiang was stunned.

Its only a few hundred meters away. Call her. Duan Linbai knew that Xu Jiamu wouldnt answer his call, so there was no need for him to embarra.s.s himself.

At this moment, Xu Jiamu was indeed standing in front of a bus stop and waiting for a taxi. Her phone rang. She didnt want to answer it, but Little Jiang sent a message. [Im Little Jiang. Little Boss has returned to the hotel. He asked me to personally confirm that youve returned to your school. Have you called a taxi, or are you waiting for a car?]

It was already midnight, and there were few people on the streets. Xu Jiamu hesitated for a moment before reporting her location.

On the way back, she felt a little emotional. Duan Linbai looked very unrestrained, but he was unexpectedly quite meticulous.

Actually, Little Boss is a good person. Its just that hes too lively. He doesnt have any ill intentions toward anyone Little Jiang knew that there was a misunderstanding between the two of them.

After all, he was his little boss, so he definitely had to help him raise his image.

Xu Jiamu yawned and listened quietly. Before reaching the school gates, she was already drowsy.

The next day

Song Fengwan heard from Fu Chen that something had happened to Tang Jingci. She had something to do in the morning, so she couldnt go and see her. She called to comfort her and rushed to the hotel at noon.

Why are you here at this time? Have you eaten? Qiao Xiyan was a little surprised. Dont you have cla.s.s in the morning?

Ive eaten. I went to volunteer today and had a lunch box. Hows Big Sister Tang? Song Fengwan lowered her voice. Is she feeling uncomfortable

She went for a checkup in the morning. Theres no big problem. The hospitals conclusion was similar to Xu Jiamus. Everyone said that she might regain her vision at any time.

Have you eaten? Hows her appet.i.te? I brought her some snacks. Usually, people with a cold and a fever wouldnt feel well, let alone someone who couldnt see.

Song Fengwan thought of the time when Duan Linbai was suffering from snow blindness. She kept feeling that Tang Jingci might not be able to eat well.

We ate after leaving the hospital. She has a good appet.i.te, but she cant see. Its a little troublesome to eat.

Qiao Xiyan was originally a little worried that she wouldnt eat or drink

Tang Jingci had rested all night, and she didnt have to worry about work the next day, so her appet.i.te was better than before.

In her words, her eyes would definitely recover. It was useless to worry. If she wanted to eat or drink, she would. But she couldnt play with her phone and watch dramas, so she felt a little uncomfortable.

Thats good. Song Fengwan was also worried that she would feel uncomfortable and suffer in silence.

Wanwan, is that you?! Tang Jingci was bored sitting on the bed.

Other than when she wanted a drink and to go to the bathroom, the two of them barely communicated. A certain someone was afraid that she would be bored, so he specially played a crosstalk show on TV, but it almost made her fall asleep.

Song Fengwan came and chatted with her for a while. But she had to return to the volunteer venue on time at 2 p.m., so she couldnt stay for long.

You said you almost got into a car accident yesterday? While the two were chatting, Tang Jingci unintentionally mentioned what had happened last night.

The car was very fast. When it pa.s.sed by me, it didnt slow down either. It was mainly because the lights were too dazzling.

It didnt slow down, and there was also an accident at the hotel before Song Fengwan supported her chin with one hand and looked pensive. Big Sister Tang, youve been in the capital for a while. Have you ever made enemies with anyone?

Made enemies? Tang Jingci found it funny. I only know the few of you. Who could I make enemies with other than the one at the bar

But she wouldnt kill me, right?

I didnt know her at all before. We didnt know each other when the bottle fell at the hotel, and there was no enmity between us.

Song Fengwan suddenly looked up at Qiao Xiyan. Thats hard to say He Xi

He Xi liked Qiao Xiyan!

At this moment, people who knew about Qiao Xiyan and Tang Jingci knew that the two of them stayed in separate rooms. Those who didnt know them saw that the two of them often ate together and went out together. It was really easy to misunderstand.

That person could even think of something terrible like drugging people. You also provoked her previously, so its not impossible for her to do something Drugging? Tang Jingci was dumbfounded.

Alright, Im just talking nonsense. Have a good rest. You might feel better after taking an afternoon nap. I have to go. Ill come see you tonight.

Okay. Sorry, I cant see you out.

Its fine. Rest well

After Song Fengwan went out, she called Fu Chen.

Is Miss Tang alright? Shes pretty good. The hospital checkup said that theres nothing big wrong with her. But theres something I want you to help me check.

He Xi? Fu Chen said bluntly. How do you know? Song Fengwan was speechless. You suspect her too? Is it really related to her?

Dont you think theres something wrong with her too?

***

After Song Fengwan left, Tang Jingci really crawled into bed and took an afternoon nap.

Meanwhile, Qiao Xiyan leaned against the sofa and looked at his phone for a while. After making sure that she was asleep, he got up and went to take a shower. After accompanying her to the hospital today, he kept feeling that there was a smell on him.

Tang Jingci was awake again. Although she couldnt see, she kept her eyes open, always feeling like she could see something.

She wasnt sleeping soundly to begin with. Although she looked as if nothing had happened, she couldnt see anything, and she was anxious. She heard the bathroom door open and the sound of footsteps

In a daze, she saw a man walking out with only a towel wrapped around his waist.

From behind him, she could vaguely see his side profile. He was holding another towel to dry his hair, and even his V line was faintly visible

Tang Jingcis breathing deepened. She closed her eyes and slowly opened them again! Qiao Xiyan took a change of clothes from his suitcase and returned to the bathroom with the towel in his other hand

Tang Jingcis face flushed red. The bathroom door closed, and she slowly closed her eyes and burrowed her head into the blanket. Im definitely not awake yet. It was an illusion. I was dreaming. I cant see. How could I possibly have seen Senior Brother

half-naked?

Ill be fine after waking up. It must be a dream

She blushed to the root of her neck, and her entire body was hot. After all, some scenes were too impactful.

Qiao Xiyan changed his clothes and came out. He glanced at her. Why is her head under the blanket?
