Chapter 1939: Are You Really That Worried About Him?

~7 min read 1,356 words

Wei Mama decided to place all the flowers sent by Li Xingyan in the living room by the window.

Sunlight would stream through the window and spill onto the petals; that scene would surely be beautiful!

But to prevent a certain dog from coming to ruin the flowers again, Wei Mama issued an order.

Wei Yangyang naturally nodded quickly.

Afterwards, Wei Mama arranged for the others, saying, "When you walk by here, be careful too; make sure not to touch the flower branches."

"Yes."

"In the future, watering and pruning will be done by me; you are not to touch them."

"Understood."

"But you can talk to these flowers. Actually, plants have spirit too; the more they see smiling faces, the more lushly they will bloom!"

This point of view from her mother made Wei Yangyang feel it was bizarre.

She couldn't help but mutter, "It's like we've invited an ancestor back home."

Because the surroundings were relatively quiet.

Wei Yangyang's mutter reached Wei Mama's ears.

But Wei Mama didn't hear it clearly, so she raised an eyebrow and asked, "What are you saying?"

"I was saying, as long as Mama is happy, that's all that matters!"

After Wei Yangyang finished speaking, she pursed her lips and began to smile.

That smile was silly.

Seeing her smile, Yi Xiang curled his own lips as well.

He smiled like a silly boy.

When these two got together, they were just a pair of simpletons.

They were inexplicably well-matched.

Li Xingyan was standing right next to Wei Mama.

He also saw this scene.

Yet he only found it an eyesore!

Li Xingyan unconsciously let his expression turn cold.

The next second, he lifted his foot and walked over.

Behind Yi Xiang was a shelf one and a half people tall.

It had been temporarily set up by the flower farmer.

It was prepared for use during work.

But the connection point between the pieces of wood suddenly emitted a slight "Crack!" sound.

Yi Xiang was the closest.

After hearing the sound, he turned his head to look.

As a result, he discovered the shelf was about to fall apart!

Once it fell apart, the boards would collapse in all directions.

The newly planted flower seedlings would all be finished!

Yi Xiang gritted his teeth and used his body to hold the collapsing shelf.

But the shelf was too heavy, and Yi Xiang was struggling to hold it up.

He was even in danger of being crushed underneath!

Seeing this, Wei Yangyang immediately shouted, "What are you doing? Let go quickly!"

"No... these flowers... they were planted with such difficulty!"

"You... oh my!"

Wei Yangyang thought Yi Xiang was being stubborn.

If the flower seedlings were crushed, so be it.

They could just be replanted.

But if he were crushed, that couldn't be solved by just sticking a seedling into the dirt.

Unfortunately, time was tight, and Wei Yangyang didn't have time to speak.

She subconsciously helped Yi Xiang support the shelf.

Yi Xiang was startled and shouted, "Your body hasn't recovered yet, step back!"

Wei Yangyang didn't want to step back.

Anyway, she was only going to support it for a moment, and someone would come to help soon.

Behind Wei Yangyang, someone really did come over.

That person's face was tense, and his gaze was sharp.

He even watched helplessly as a board fell from above Wei Yangyang's head...

"Careful!"

Yi Xiang saw it too.

He wanted to help block it.

But if he let go, he feared both of them would be crushed under the shelf!

Fortunately, in a flash, someone ran to Wei Yangyang's side.

He raised his hand and blocked the falling wooden board for Wei Yangyang!

Wei Yangyang only heard a dull thud.

Afterward, she was pulled into an embrace.

Wei Yangyang grew anxious.

She pushed that person away and shouted, "Go help Yi Xiang first!"

Over by Yi Xiang, people had already come to help.

Everyone worked together to lift the rack away.

The flower farmer responsible for making the rack apologized in a hurry.

But before he could say two words, the flower farmer let out a cry of surprise.

He pointed at Yi Xiang's hand and said, "Oh my, there's so much blood!"

It was clear that Yi Xiang's hand was covered in blood!

It turned out there was an iron nail on the rack that had pierced right into his palm.

Wei Yangyang took a look and said sternly, "You need to go to the Hospital to get this treated and get a tetanus shot!"

"There's no need for such trouble."

"Can you stop being so headstrong? It was you just now who stubbornly insisted on pushing the rack for the sake of those flowers!"

At this moment, Wei Yangyang was very fierce.

Yi Xiang didn't even dare to speak again.

Seeing this, Wei Mama mediated from the side: "He's already hurt, so stop being so fierce to him."

"I don't want to be fierce to him, but is he here to help or to cause trouble? One should always act within their own capabilities!"

Wei Yangyang's words were ostensibly directed at Yi Xiang.

But in reality?

Li Xingyan glanced indifferently at her profile.

Wei Yangyang, however, did not look at him; she simply treated Yi Xiang's wound briefly and then took him to the Hospital.

After those two left, there was a moment of awkwardness at the scene.

Doctor Xu sighed softly.

He was about to speak to Li Xingyan.

But when his gaze landed on Li Xingyan's arm, his brows shot up: "Your hand..."

Li Xingyan did not hear Doctor Xu's words.

In his mind, he only remembered Wei Yangyang pushing him away and turning to run anxiously to Yi Xiang's side.

Did she... care about him that much?

On the other side, Wei Yangyang followed Yi Xiang to the Hospital.

After some treatment, Yi Xiang's hand was wrapped up like a pig's trotter.

Wei Yangyang stared at that "pig's trotter," her brows furrowed.

Seeing her expression, Yi Xiang comforted her: "Don't worry, it will be better soon."

"Of course I know it will get better; I've had injuries much worse than yours, and wasn't I still full of life?"

"Since that's the case, then why is your expression still so serious?"

Wei Yangyang's gaze shifted away from Yi Xiang's hand.

Then she looked into Yi Xiang's eyes and asked: "Will your injury affect your work? If it does, will you need to pay a breach of contract penalty?"

This question...

Was so realistic.

Yi Xiang sighed as he heard it: "In this situation, couldn't you at least care about whether I'm in pain?"

"Why would I care about that?"

Wei Yangyang's righteous retort left Yi Xiang speechless.

"Besides, even if it hurts, you should just endure it and learn a lesson while you're at it, to see if you'll ever act beyond your capabilities again!"

Wei Yangyang was very fierce.

She also really didn't understand why Yi Xiang had to act tough.

How was this any different from acting recklessly?

Yi Xiang did not think he was acting recklessly.

He lowered his eyes and said softly: "I'm not as capable as Li Xingyan, who can easily get precious flowers to make Mother happy."

"Even without precious flowers, my mother is quite happy when she sees you."

"But my efforts are replaceable; if you swap in someone more obedient, they could make Mother just as happy."

"According to your logic, are Li Xingyan's flowers irreplaceable?"

"They are, because those flowers are worth a thousand gold and hard to find; if you swap in someone else, they might not have his connections, nor might they be as wealthy as him."

... Fine, Yi Xiang's analysis was very reasonable.

But Wei Yangyang was even more confused: "What does this have to do with you acting tough?"

"I want to protect the fruits of my labor! Even if they are just seedlings now, in the future, they might not be any worse than his famous flowers!"

Hmm...

Wei Yangyang knitted her brows.

She tried to understand Yi Xiang.

But she failed.
