Chapter 885: Chapter 886: Carefully Take Care

"Oh my God! Your liver must be too fiery recently, your urine is yellow, and it has a strong stench."

"F***, you... you... you..."

In the most awkward way, finally having solved the problem, Qiao Yutong was already on the verge of collapsing with embarrassment. Song Xiaodong’s comment made her want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into even more.

She really didn’t expect herself to pee in such a manner, and that too in front of a man, even if she sometimes fantasized about being intimate with her future boyfriend, she never imagined it this way.

"Hey, I’m a doctor, I’m just assessing your condition. We even do urine tests in the hospital, what’s there to be embarrassed about?" Song Xiaodong said nonchalantly.

"Go to hell!" Qiao Yutong glared fiercely at Song Xiaodong, clenching her teeth. If she could move right now, she would definitely bite a chunk off him.

"Alright, let’s sleep. I’m also totally beat." Song Xiaodong said and then directly turned off the light, intending to go to bed.

"Oh my God, you want to sleep in the same bed with me?" Qiao Yutong widened her eyes.

"What’s with your big reaction? You don’t think I want to do something to you, do you? Please, can you think pure thoughts? In your current condition, don’t I have to take care of you? What if something happens to you in the middle of the night and I don’t hear it, what then?"

"But... it’s awkward with a man and a woman alone on one bed."

"Awkward as it may be, you’ll just have to endure." Song Xiaodong said, got into the bed, pulled over a corner of the blanket, and covered himself.

Qiao Yutong’s heart raced uncontrollably. She was actually in the same bed as a man, and they weren’t even in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. It was just too crazy.

However, after a while, Song Xiaodong’s breathing became more stable, and he even started to snore lightly, which relaxed Qiao Yutong’s tense emotions quite a bit.

"Oh my God, this guy’s really something. I’m a policewoman for Pete’s sake, and he doesn’t have any ulterior motives, this isn’t like him at all!"

After muttering a few words, Qiao Yutong also fell asleep exhausted.

The next morning, Qiao Yutong opened her eyes only to find that Song Xiaodong wasn’t there, not knowing what mischief he was up to.

She couldn’t move and could only lie in bed and space out.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came over, accompanied by the aroma of food.

Then Song Xiaodong walked in, holding a tray, on which there was a small bowl and a few small dishes.

"Nobody has been home for a few days, so there’s nothing special, I just made some porridge and side dishes for you to get by."

Song Xiaodong put the items on the bedside table, then took a pillow and tucked it under Qiao Yutong’s neck.

"You can cook?" Qiao Yutong said with a look of surprise.

"Simple things I can do, but it’s been a long while since I last cooked," Song Xiaodong said with a smile, picked up the porridge bowl, stirred it with a spoon twice, scooped a small spoonful, blew on it, and brought it to Qiao Yutong’s mouth.

Qiao Yutong immediately opened her mouth and ate it.

However, after a few bites, Qiao Yutong’s eyes suddenly turned a bit red. Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Are you moved that easily?"

Qiao Yutong glared at him and said, "Who’s moved? I just feel frustrated inside. I’m such a grown-up and can’t even eat by myself."

Song Xiaodong did not dwell on it further, grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears, then joked, "Exactly, for someone as fiery and active as you, lying down like this must be killing you."

Qiao Yutong quickly replied, "Exactly, I’m really suffocating."

Song Xiaodong chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, you’ll be able to walk on your own in three days."

"Three days, are you kidding me? Didn’t I fracture my bones?"

"In the hospital, sure, you might have to stay for a month or two, but here, three days should do. Most importantly, I don’t have much time to take care of you, so I need to get you better sooner."

"Damn, when you put it like that, it kind of makes my heart seize up," Qiao Yutong couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"Come on, no heart seizing, hurry up and eat. Your colleagues will definitely come to see you soon."

"Oh shoot, better hurry." Qiao Yutong hurriedly gulped down her food, then let out an awkward and shy hiss.

"Hey, can you get me a set of clothes to wear, how am I supposed to meet people like this?"

"Stop fussing, just cover yourself with the blanket when they arrive, no one will notice whether you are dressed or not."

"Oh, alright then, make sure you tuck me in well, otherwise it’d be totally embarrassing."

After preparations, sure enough, someone knocked on the door, and Qiao Yutong quickly asked Song Xiaodong to properly cover her with the blanket.

Unconsciously, Qiao Yutong felt that it was completely normal for Song Xiaodong to see her body, but it would be unacceptable for others to do so.

Sure enough, the visitors were Qiao Yutong’s colleagues, a whole bunch of them, including their team leader.

There were flowers and fruits; everyone gathered in Qiao Yutong’s room.

After inquiring about her injury and seeing that Qiao Yutong looked spirited, everyone felt relieved.

"Captain, was the criminal from yesterday caught?" Qiao Yutong asked.

"Didn’t Little Song tell you?"

Qiao Yutong, looking puzzled, said, "What did he tell me?"

"It was Little Song who caught that criminal yesterday."

"He caught him..." Qiao Yutong looked towards Song Xiaodong with a somewhat quirky gaze. This guy never mentioned a word about it; shouldn’t he have used this to curry favor with her?

"Sister Qiao, your home is really big, and has multiple floors. You’ve never invited us over, that’s not very nice."

Women care about things differently from men; one female colleague said enviously.

"Ahem, just average," Qiao Yutong, not knowing whether her home was big or not since she could only see this room, vaguely responded.

"Just average? I’d say your house must be over 200 square meters. If I had a big house like yours, that’d be great."

Qiao Yutong coughed lightly and said, "This is his, not mine."

The female colleague giggled and said, "His is as good as yours anyway."

Qiao Yutong wanted to clarify, but to her colleagues, Song Xiaodong had always been her boyfriend; denying it was pointless. Moreover, Song Xiaodong hadn’t shown up recently, and colleagues were gossiping about her being dumped, which annoyed her. Now, this misunderstanding saved her from having to explain again.

She simply played along, saying, "You’ve got a point, as long as it’s a place to live, that’s all that matters."

Song Xiaodong couldn’t help but smile; Qiao Yutong’s evasive and flickering gaze while lying was indeed quite amusing.
