Chapter 450: Chapter 448 Your boss seems to be pretty good to you_1
Zhuo Shaoqing couldn’t help raising an eyebrow, "She’s in the ward, and I’m outside buying her fruit..."
Mu Zisu’s temple suddenly twitched, "Which hospital?"
Zhuo Shaoqing’s peach blossom eyes suddenly narrowed, then he hooked his lips slightly, "First People’s Hospital..."
After Zhuo Shaoqing had given Mu Zisu the detailed address, he smiled with a somewhat cryptic meaning, "Her boss seems to really care about her..." Then, he walked to the hospital carrying a big bag of fruit.
Na Xiaoxiao was lying on the hospital bed in a daze when Zhuo Shaoqing walked in carrying a big bag of things.
"Xiaoxiao...what fruit do you like to eat?" Zhuo Shaoqing naturally shifted from calling her Miss Na to Xiaoxiao.
Na Xiaoxiao seemed a bit unaccustomed to the change, but couldn’t really object, so she simply spit out two words, "Anything..."
Zhuo Shaoqing walked over to her bedside, teasingly said, "There is no fruit called ’anything’..."
Na Xiaoxiao’s head instantly filled with black lines, this guy is really something!
She could only glance at the big bag of fruit he was carrying, which seemed to contain a variety of selections.
"Apple then..."
"Okay, just a moment..." Zhuo Shaoqing put the things on a cabinet, then picked a big, red apple, washed it, and began to peel it.
"You’re lucky today, I’ve never taken care of someone like this before..." Zhuo Shaoqing said while peeling the apple and looking up at Na Xiaoxiao.
Na Xiaoxiao twitched the corner of her mouth, "If getting hit by you counts as luck, then I hope that person isn’t me..."
Zhuo Shaoqing instantly laughed at Na Xiaoxiao’s words.
"I think you’re quite interesting..."
Na Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow. She was interesting? Was she? Since arriving here, no one had ever said that about her; he was the first one.
"Here you go..." Zhuo Shaoqing smiled and handed the peeled apple to Na Xiaoxiao.
Na Xiaoxiao reached out to take it, "Thank you..."
"No need to be polite, taking care of you is the right thing to do..."
Although it was a casual remark from Zhuo Shaoqing, Na Xiaoxiao found it awkward no matter how she listened—were they even acquainted?
Just after handing the apple to Na Xiaoxiao, Zhuo Shaoqing’s phone suddenly rang. He pulled it out to look and immediately raised his eyebrows.
"Hello!"
"Zhuo, didn’t you get back today? Where have you run off to again?" came a good buddy’s voice over the phone.
Since he was sitting at Na Xiaoxiao’s bedside without leaving to answer, she could catch bits of the conversation in the silent ward.
"I accidentally hit someone, now I’m at the hospital..."
"What? You actually hit someone?" The voice on the other end of the phone suddenly got much louder.
"Yes, you heard that right. But, luckily, there’s no serious harm..." Zhuo Shaoqing’s face was full of relief.
"My gosh! If people find out that you, an international race car driver, hit someone, how can you continue in the racing world!" The person on the other end of the phone sighed.
Zhuo Shaoqing smiled helplessly, "That’s why... I’m asking you to keep it a secret, so I can save some face and continue in the racing world..."
"No problem... come out for a drink with the brothers in a few days..."
"OK!"
When Zhuo Shaoqing hung up the phone, he noticed that Na Xiaoxiao on the bed had been staring at him with wide, clear eyes all this time.
"What’s up?" he asked, puzzled.
"You’re a race car driver?" Na Xiaoxiao asked back.
"Yes, I am..." Zhuo Shaoqing nodded proudly, racing was his sole pursuit.
Na Xiaoxiao finally understood why he drove so fiercely; he was a race car driver!
"Can’t you drive slower on the road?"
Zhuo Shaoqing looked so innocent, this time he truly was innocent. The light had clearly turned green, and he hadn’t expected someone to suddenly dart out. Thankfully, his reflexes were quick, and he braked hard. Otherwise, there really would have been an accident!
But all these things, he couldn’t say in front of the angry victim. Besides, he was a man of cultivation; even if it was her fault, he wouldn’t say it was her fault. A man’s got to have some class!
"Miss, it’s my fault, all my fault..." Zhuo Shaoqing’s face was a picture of sincerity.
His expression made Na Xiaoxiao feel a bit embarrassed. In truth, the fault lay with her; she really had walked into the crosswalk when the light changed.
Na Xiaoxiao slowly munched on an apple and then thought of Mu Zisu. Should she give him another call?
"Ah? Right..." Zhuo Shaoqing suddenly looked at her and spoke.
"Hmm?" She looked at him, puzzled.
"Just now your boss called back..."
"He called back?" Xiaoxiao was surprised.
"Yeah..." Zhuo Shaoqing nodded.
"Then—what did you tell him?"
"I told him I hit you and then helped you ask for a week off..."
"What?" Xiaoxiao was astonished; he really did ask Mu Zisu for time off on her behalf...
"Yeah, but your boss insisted on coming to see you, so I gave him the address..." Zhuo Shaoqing shrugged.
Xiaoxiao was instantly dumbfounded. He insisted on coming to see her?
Why did that sentence make her heart race a little?
Would he really come to see her?
"What? You don’t want him to come see you?" Zhuo Shaoqing asked again.
"Er... not that, I just didn’t expect he would come..." It was truly beyond her expectation.
"Your boss seems to treat you quite well..." Zhuo Shaoqing nodded to himself.
"......" Xiaoxiao was suddenly silent. Treat her well? She had no idea about that.
After a while, Xiaoxiao suddenly felt the urge to go to the restroom, but her legs clearly made walking difficult.
After wrestling with the dilemma in her mind for a while, she had no choice but to look to Zhuo Shaoqing beside her for help.
"What’s wrong?" Zhuo Shaoqing looked up at her.
Xiaoxiao found it difficult to speak. How could she bring herself to say it?
Seeing her hesitation, Zhuo Shaoqing raised an eyebrow and pondered for a moment before tentatively asking, "Need to go to the restroom?"
Being so directly asked by Zhuo Shaoqing, Xiaoxiao still felt her face flush.
"Mm... Yeah..." But this was not the time for modesty; she really needed to go to the restroom.
"Should’ve said so earlier..." Zhuo Shaoqing suddenly stood up from his seat.
"Just helping me over there will be fine..." Xiaoxiao said somewhat awkwardly.
"How could that be okay? Your knee just got treated and bandaged; you can’t move it around too much..." Zhuo Shaoqing said, and naturally lifted her out of the bed.
Although she had been carried by him from the accident to the hospital and to the bed, she had been preoccupied with seeing the doctor and hadn’t paid attention to these details.
Now it was different. Now it was just the two of them, with the pretext of her wanting to go to the restroom. Being carried by him like this really made her uncomfortable.
Zhuo Shaoqing set her down at the entrance to the restroom door, opened it, "Er... Can you manage? Do you need me to call a nurse?"
