Chapter 1940: He Was Injured For You

Finally, Wei Yangyang asked speechlessly, "It's just a few flowers, is there any need to elevate the meaning?"

"You don't understand."

"I certainly don't understand, but I advise you, stop thinking about such impractical things!"

Impractical...

Yi Xiang smiled slightly.

That smile was a bit cynical.

Afterwards, he looked at Wei Yangyang again.

He said, "Fine, let's not consider all that worldly stuff, let's just compare who holds a higher position in your heart."

"What's the point of comparing? In any case, neither of you can beat Jin Dou!"

This assessment—truly, a person is not as good as a dog!

But even so, Yi Xiang was still trying to rank them: "Jin Dou likes me more; love me, love my dog, so I'm still ranked ahead of Li Xingyan."

As Yi Xiang said this, he even nodded.

He felt his analysis was very logical.

But what logic did he have?

Wei Yangyang rolled her eyes and evaluated, "Childish."

"It's you who doesn't understand."

"Fine, fine, fine, I don't understand anything, let me take you home now."

Yi Xiang immediately corrected her: "I am taking you home."

"But you're the patient, I'll take you first."

"This is just a minor injury, it's no trouble."

After hearing this, Wei Yangyang was silent for a moment.

Then she continued to inquire: "So, are you actually going to have to pay the breach of contract penalty?"

Just as her words fell, Yi Xiang's uninjured hand flicked against Wei Yangyang's head.

Wei Yangyang covered her forehead and glared at Yi Xiang.

Yi Xiang smiled in a way that was somewhat asking for a beating, and said, "Why are you always concerned about money? Aren't you being vulgar?"

"You're the one who's not vulgar, but without money, you'd be sleeping on the street!"

"Don't worry about that, even if I have to pay the penalty, I can handle it myself."

Yi Xiang appeared very calm, not looking like he was bragging.

But not long ago, he was struggling to even scrape together the room rent.

He even had to mooch off work meals just to eat.

Looking at it this way...

Wei Yangyang sighed: "Your line of work really makes money fast."

Yi Xiang didn't respond.

He was only feeling melancholy in his heart: This woman's focus is always so different from others...

By the time Wei Yangyang returned home, the house had already quieted down.

The originally lively garden had also been tidied up.

The tender green flower seedlings stood neatly, keeping their distance from one another.

When Wei Yangyang passed by the garden, she glanced at it faintly, then went straight back to her room, preparing to rest for a while.

But just as she entered her room, she heard the sound of the door opening.

It was Wei Mama.

Wei Mama walked in and asked, "Is Yi Xiang alright?"

"Yes, he just needs to keep it dry for the next few days."

"That's good," Wei Mama paused in her tone, then said, "When you have the time, you should also show some concern for Xingyan."

Wei Yangyang leaned lazily on the sofa and said, "Why should I be concerned about him?"

"He injured his arm to block a board for you."

These words made Wei Yangyang freeze.

The next second, she sat up straight and asked with wide eyes: "What board? Why didn't I know about this!?"

"Who are you asking? At the time, he was right behind you, protecting you."

Wei Mama had been standing far away, so she had seen the whole process very clearly.

The moment she saw the board fall, Wei Mama's heart had tightened.

Seeing her daughter ignore Li Xingyan, who had been injured for her, she felt bitter on Li Xingyan's behalf.

And that final scolding from Wei Yangyang...

Wei Mama couldn't help but complain: "The two boys brought flowers, clearly to please me, yet you were sarcastic and said those hurtful things!"

Bringing up this matter, Wei Yangyang felt guilty.

She murmured: "I—I was just too anxious at the time."

"Why were you anxious? Because you were worried about Yi Xiang's injury?"

"Yes."

"But why didn't you look at Xingyan? Could it be that he isn't as important to you as Yi Xiang?"

"It's not like that, no one is more important than anyone else, it's just that I didn't even notice Li Xingyan at all!"

"How could you not notice someone that big? Unless... you were so worried you lost your composure, and couldn't fit anyone else in your eyes!"

Mother's questions came step by step, carrying a hint of leading intent.

At first, Wei Yangyang didn't sense it.

But now, she could hear the trickery behind it.

Wei Yangyang's eyebrows twitched, and she looked up at her mother.

Then, unsurprisingly, she saw a gleam of gossip shining in her eyes...

Sigh, as expected!

Wei Yangyang could already predict what her mother was going to say next.

And those topics gave Wei Yangyang a headache just thinking about them.

No, she had to think of a way to stop her mother!

Wei Yangyang's eyebrows twitched, and then she let out an "Ouch."

Wei Mama was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Wei Yangyang was seen knitting her brows with a pained expression, saying, "When I was helping Yi Xiang, I think I accidentally bumped my wound."

"Ah? Oh my, th-then I'll have Doctor Xu come and take a look at you."

"Alright."

Soon, Wei Mama brought Doctor Xu over.

While Doctor Xu was examining Wei Yangyang, she would hum in pain every now and then.

It was precisely this humming that let Doctor Xu see that Wei Yangyang was faking illness.

Doctor Xu did not expose her.

After putting on a show of examining her, he said to Wei Mama, "It's nothing serious, just exhaustion; she'll be fine after a good rest."

Wei Mama nodded gently.

Then she instructed Wei Yangyang, "Then get some rest early."

"I know, Mama."

When Wei Yangyang responded, she looked so sleepy that her eyes seemed unable to stay open.

This pitiful little appearance made Wei Mama feel very heart-stricken.

Leaning over to kiss Wei Yangyang on the forehead, Wei Mama walked out of the bedroom.

As for Doctor Xu, he stayed a little longer because he had to prepare medicine for Wei Yangyang.

After Wei Yangyang took the medicine, Doctor Xu prepared to leave as well.

But Wei Yangyang called out to stop him.

When Doctor Xu turned his head, she asked a bit awkwardly, "Was it you who treated Li Xingyan's injury?"

"Yes."

"Is it serious?"

"Just a bone fracture."

"A bone fracture? And you say 'just'?"

"Yes, his physical constitution is good; with some recovery, he should be fine in about a month."

Doctor Xu's attitude while speaking was light and breezy.

Yet the content of what he said made Wei Yangyang feel anxious and restless.

Wei Yangyang asked again, "Was he truly injured because of me?"

"Can't you feel it yourself?"

Wei Yangyang shook her head very honestly.

And her honesty made Doctor Xu sigh softly.

Fortunately, Li Xingyan didn't hear that.

Otherwise, he would surely be dejected and heartbroken.

Sigh, what a lucky yet unfortunate fellow!

Seeing that Doctor Xu only sighed and said nothing, Wei Yangyang couldn't help but grow anxious.

She urged, "Say something, at least."

"Then what do you want me to say?"

"Was Li Xingyan really injured because of me?"

"Who else could it be for?"

"Then, the words I said when I was leaving... um... could you hear any other meaning in them?"

"I could; you were clearly implying things about both Yi Xiang and Li Xingyan."

Doctor Xu said without hesitation, which made Wei Yangyang slump her shoulders.

She had thought she was being very subtle.

Who would have thought...

Both of them heard it!
