Chapter 368: Who Let Him Be the Boyfriend

Li Beijue's gaze slowly fell upon that tiny wound.

The wound was thin and long, yet very precise, and being in such a place, it was clearly man-made at a glance.

Li Beijue's eyes flickered for a moment, and he suddenly thought of the daggers the two people had pulled out just a moment ago.

"Here... was that caused by those two people?"

His tone suddenly turned somewhat cold, as if it had stained the air inside the car with a hint of chill.

Jiang Baobao nodded gently.

"Does it hurt?"

Li Beijue's tone turned pained again, as if he wished that tiny mark were on his own face instead.

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for a moment; a small corner of her heart seemed to have been struck inexplicably.

This version of Li Beijue was truly too gentle.

So gentle that it made her heart panic.

Jiang Baobao closed her eyes, pulling herself out of the inexplicable emotions, and replied: "What is there to hurt about this? Such a small wound, it will be fine once I wake up tomorrow after a sleep."

She deliberately wanted to break the inexplicably tender atmosphere of the moment, her tone indifferent.

While speaking, the car had already stopped at the entrance of a Hospital.

Jiang Baobao glanced at the snow-white building outside the window and suddenly felt waves of dizziness wash over her again.

"Hiss—"

The throbbing, needle-pricking pain in her forehead made her unable to help but gasp.

"What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Li Beijue's concern followed like a shadow.

Jiang Baobao waved her hand, but suddenly felt a pair of hands already placed under the bend of her legs.

"No need to carry me again!"

Jiang Baobao snapped back to her senses abruptly, her voice so loud that even the driver in front couldn't help but turn his head to look.

"Are you sure?"

Seeing her look of defense, Li Beijue felt a bit subtle.

Jiang Baobao nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and quickly pushed open the car door to get out.

As soon as she stood steady, waves of dizziness came over her again.

"Slow down."

Li Beijue took her hand with a pained heart.

Although he really wanted to just carry her inside like that, he still asked gently: "Is it okay if I support you like this?"

Jiang Baobao nodded; in the ten minutes or so on the road, her face had already turned somewhat pale.

Li Beijue dared not delay, hurriedly leading her into the emergency room and arranging for her to be admitted to a VIP Ward.

"The patient inhaled a large amount of drugs that cause unconsciousness; it is normal to have this kind of short-term headache and dizziness. Coupled with the fact that she hasn't been resting well lately, the symptoms might be a bit stronger. Stay in the hospital for observation tonight; if there's nothing wrong, she can be discharged tomorrow."

The Doctor diagnosed Jiang Baobao carefully once more, reached his conclusion, and signaled to Li Beijue not to worry.

Li Beijue personally saw the Doctor out before returning alone.

First, he thoughtfully poured a glass of water for Jiang Baobao, placed it by her hand, and then called to have some food delivered.

Jiang Baobao watched him finish all this in silence, her heart already unable to stop muttering to itself for a long time.

So this guy is so good at taking care of people...

She used to wonder what it would be like if this guy fell in love with someone.

She didn't expect that one day, she would be able to experience it firsthand.

It's just that all of this has come too late.

Jiang Baobao felt inexplicably melancholy.

Then she heard Li Beijue ask again: "Is this bed too hard? I'll have someone send over a new one..."

"No need, it's just staying in the hospital for observation for one night." Jiang Baobao hurriedly interrupted, looking at him with some helplessness.

"Alright."

Li Beijue agreed, sat down by the bedside, and straightened the quilt for her.

The ward suddenly became somewhat quiet.

Neither of them spoke, and a hint of awkwardness emerged.

Jiang Baobao lowered her head to play with the corner of the quilt, still not quite used to being taken care of by Li Beijue like this.

She thought and thought, finally coming up with a topic, and asked proactively: "By the way, how did you find me?"

"Someone saw you being taken away."

Li Beijue answered her doubt, and seeing she was still somewhat confused, he added: "It was a waiter who happened to be hiding outside the back door smoking."

Jiang Baobao suddenly realized: "So that's how it is... Then I really have a lucky life; as expected, Heaven is still on my side..."

"It's Heaven being on my side, actually."

Li Beijue suddenly took over the conversation, the end of his sentence carrying a hint of a smile and relief.

It was fortunate that someone happened to see the whole thing at the back door at that time.

Otherwise...

Although he could use various means to find her, it would inevitably be too late.

No one could predict what might happen.

Jiang Baobao blinked, keenly capturing the hidden meaning in his words, and suddenly didn't know what to say, a faint sense of annoyance in her eyes.

Is this guy so straightforward when he speaks now?

It's as if he's become a completely different person!

Who said Li Beijue is a big iceberg?

At most, he just has the shell of a big iceberg; inside, he's more like a volcano!

When it comes to playing ambiguous word games, he's better at it than anyone!

Jiang Baobao muttered to herself, but suddenly saw Li Beijue, who had brought over a cotton swab and iodine from somewhere.

"Lift your chin, I'll help you disinfect the wound."

As Li Beijue spoke, he reached his hand out toward Jiang Baobao.

Jiang Baobao immediately refused: "No need! I can do it myself!"

Li Beijue raised an eyebrow: "Can you see it?"

Jiang Baobao: "..."

Jiang Baobao: "I can go to the bathroom! There's a mirror there!"

As she said this, she threw off the quilt, intending to jump out of bed.

Li Beijue was quick-witted and fast-handed; he pushed her shoulders and pressed her back onto the bed.

The posture suddenly became somewhat ambiguous.

Jiang Baobao was dazed for a moment, feeling the soft cotton swab touch her wound, bringing a faint sting.

"Don't move."

Li Beijue's tone was low, and after saying that, he added quite naturally: "You'd better be obedient."

Jiang Baobao's fingers gripped the bedsheets tightly.

What does "be obedient" mean?

Why does this guy have to speak so ambiguously!

Is he not even bothering to hide it anymore?

Then what should she do?

Pretend she didn't hear it?

Li Beijue's movements were gentle, and he keenly sensed the stiffness of the person before him, even noticing her eyelashes trembling slightly.

Is she nervous?

Li Beijue suddenly felt in a good mood.

He was indeed doing it on purpose, that's right.

Before, he always thought about not wanting to scare her.

But seeing her in Shen Lingfeng's arms today made him not want to continue "approaching slowly" anymore.

He wanted her to feel it clearly and unmistakably.

He is approaching her.

He has "ulterior motives" toward her.

He cares about her.

Jiang Baobao even held her breath subconsciously.

It was clearly just a simple disinfection, yet she felt as if the time had lasted for a century.

When Li Beijue finally pulled away, Jiang Baobao even let out a long sigh of relief.

She then spoke in a self-deceiving manner: "Thank you."

Her tone was stiff and formal, as if by saying it this way, all the ambiguous atmosphere from just now would cease to exist, and it would just be a simple act of "helping to apply medicine."

Li Beijue threw away the cotton swab in his hand, and seeing her look of relief, he suddenly couldn't help but curl his lips.

"You're welcome, isn't this what a boyfriend should do?"
