Chapter 358: Chapter 353 He is a ruthless person, another one with a sprained ankle_3 Chapter 358: Chapter 353 He is a ruthless person, another one with a sprained ankle_3 She didn’t want to trouble Mu Jiawen anymore, mainly because she was afraid her mother and brother would come back, and it would be embarrassing, so she suggested that Yu Hang take her back to the dorm.

Up until now, Mu Jiawen had not noticed the mischief between her and Yu Hang. When it was time for them to leave, Mu Jiawen even wanted to accompany Zhu Jin, since Yu Hang wouldn’t be able to enter the girls’ dormitory area.

But she was caught by Jiang Yan who said, “Alright, stop worrying, if there’s nothing else, come with me to the flagship store.”

He had gone to the repair shop that morning, Dai Lei had already returned, and was incredibly busy. A pile of mainframes needed fixing, but the second-in-command wasn’t there.

“Hong Jing sprained her ankle, Xiaotie took her to see the doctor.”

Another sprained ankle?

Jiang Yan’s eyelids twitched upon hearing this. Was this National Day cursed with ankle injuries?

“Why did she go to Xiaotie when she sprained her ankle? Where are her parents?”

Even if her parents weren’t around, there were other relatives nearby, right? Why did she go specifically to Xiaotie?

Dai Lei raised his head from the pile of mainframes and explained, “Yesterday, Hong Jing came here to chat with Xiaotie, and when she left, she forgot her coat here. We didn’t notice at first. Just now, Xiaotie found it while tidying up the sofa and called her to let her know. While talking on the phone, she was going downstairs, missed a step…”

Jiang Yan’s eyes widened in shock, “Missed a step on the stairs? Are you sure it’s just a sprained ankle?”

“Oh, there were only two steps left at the bottom, she didn’t fall down, really just sprained her ankle.”

Jiang Yan: …

“Can you stop panting when you talk?”

Dai Lei chuckled, “I just stopped for a bit because I was tired, and you just took over, didn’t you?”

Meanwhile, Xiaotie had just taken Hong Jing to see her foot and was helping her into the car after leaving the hospital.

He felt very sorry; if it weren’t for his call, Hong Jing wouldn’t have sprained her ankle while going down the stairs normally. Now, she would have to ask for leave from school and return a few days later.

“If you put it that way, then I shouldn’t have left my coat at your shop,” Hong Jing replied, glancing at Xiaotie with a tinge of guilt. Her coat… she had actually left it at his shop on purpose, hoping to use it as an excuse to go over and hang out again today.

But unexpectedly, getting a call from Xiaotie had made her so excited that she forgot to watch her step and ended up spraining her ankle as a result.

Joy turns to sorrow—that probably described her!

Thinking about how she had screamed over the phone and Xiaotie had rushed down to her building in panic to pick her up, his worried and anxious expression was a stark contrast to his usual indifference towards her!

Hong Jing couldn’t help but feel her cheeks flush.

To cover up her abnormality, she turned to look out the window.

Previously, she had always thought that her feelings for Xiaotie were just a crush, and that she felt comfortable chatting with him. After he rescued her, gratitude was added to her fondness, but now…

Hong Jing watched the outside as the sky gradually darkened, neon lights illuminated the streets, people bustled about—it was especially noisy, yet her heart was “thumping” at twice its normal pace.

“Are your parents really not coming back tonight?”

Xiaotie’s voice interrupted Hong Jing’s thoughts. She turned back to glance at him and said, “My uncle and my father are very close. With my uncle being sick and in the hospital, my father will definitely stay and take care of him. And since my cousin just had twins, my mother said she would help my aunt for half a month before coming back.”

So, her house was indeed empty today.

Xiaotie seemed uncertain, “Why don’t you go stay at Granny Li’s for a few days?”

“You want my great-aunt and great-uncle to take care of me? Forget it. Even if my great-aunt is willing, I don’t want to stay in the same room with my great-uncle. That old man, he’s too much.”

Hong Jing leaned back in her seat and gave Xiaotie a glance, “Don’t worry, it’s just a sprained ankle, I’m not immobilized. I can take care of myself.”

As she spoke, her eyes twinkled, and she laughingly said, “If you’re really worried, why don’t you come over and take care of me tonight?”

Xiaotie was taken aback and didn’t dare turn his head to look at Hong Jing, but his face flushed a vivid red, and he muttered quietly, “That’s inappropriate.” The neighbors would get the wrong idea.

Hong Jing pouted, teasing him, “What’s inappropriate about it? I think you just don’t want to.”

“That’s not what I meant,” Xiaotie said helplessly as he tried to change the subject, “I also worry about you returning to school with your foot like this. How about this, when it’s time, I’ll drive you back to North CityBeicheng.”
