"I'm fine." In actuality, Zuo Hongchen's back was still in pain but he didn't want to worry Su Qingsang. "Small injury. Don't worry about it."
"As long as you're okay."
Huo Jinyao watched from behind them as they expressed their concerns for one another.
He felt a bit jealous.
Huo Jinyao extended his arm and pulled Su Qingsang back towards him.
He took a small step forward, blocked off most of Su Qingsang's body, and looked at Zuo Hongchen.
"I heard that you saved my Qingsang? Thank you so much. How about we go for lunch since it's almost time? I hope you'll be kind enough to join us."
Su Qingsang looked at Zuo Hongchen. He had helped her and it was only right for her to give him a meal.
Zuo Hongchen looked at the hand that Huo Jinyao had placed on Su Qingsang's shoulders. It felt so uncomfortable. He wouldn't be able to eat if he went out to lunch with them.
"It's okay. I have another operation this afternoon."
