The nurse came in to inform her.
"Miss Su, someone is here to visit you. They're in your room now."
"Got it, thank you, I'm heading over now."
After Su Lu finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Bo Jingshen.
Bo Jingshen, "Go ahead. I need to take a shower anyway."
Su Lu's eyes widened, "Are you crazy?"
Bo Jingshen seemed to only then realize that being injured meant many of his actions were restricted.
He frowned, "Tsk, troublesome. Well, at least I can wash my hair."
He had spent the night on that dusty, gravelly cement ground at the construction site, and now he felt utterly uncomfortable.
Su Lu still felt uneasy. If the bandages on his shoulders got wet, an infection wouldn't be a joke...
Bo Jingshen looked at her with a half-smile, "If you're that worried, why don't you help me wash up?"
He said it casually, just teasing.
Unexpectedly, Su Lu only paused for a moment before nodding, "Okay, wait for me."
Su Lu got up and went to her room to deal with the visitor.
Bo Jingshen watched her leave, a self-deprecating smile tugging at his lips.
But he didn't go to the bathroom to wash his hair after all. The discomfort from the dust and dirt didn't seem so unbearable anymore.
When Su Lu returned to her room, she saw a few members of the project team waiting with baskets of flowers and fruits.
As soon as they saw her, they all began to apologize.
Xiao Zhou, "We're really sorry, Mr. Su, for causing you such an unwarranted disaster."
Su Lu, "Natural disasters are beyond anyone's control. I'm fine, you don't need to blame yourselves so much."
Xiao Zhou, "We couldn't reach you by phone, so Mr. Gu called me. If you have time..."
Su Lu, "Alright, I'll call him back."
Xiao Zhou and Xiao Zhang sat for a while. Seeing that Su Lu really didn't seem to blame them, they gradually became less tense.
"Yesterday..." Su Lu hesitated for a moment but couldn't help asking, "How did he know I was stuck at the site? How did he... head over there alone?"
Xiao Zhang felt a bit awkward, considering they were part of Gu Xin's project team.
Discussing another man in front of their boss's wife... how could it not be awkward?
So Xiao Zhang recounted what happened, though not verbatim, but mentioned Bo Jingshen's anxiety at the time.
Su Lu's heart was shaken.
The project team didn't stay long. After they left, Su Lu charged her phone and turned it on.
The flood of missed call notifications nearly numbed her hand.
Calls from Gu Xin, Cheng Youran, Su Yukan could be expected.
But even Su Jiao and her mother, Zhu Xinyan, had called.
And President Liu too?
Su Lu laughed self-deprecatingly, "Did I become the center of the universe overnight?"
She returned Cheng Youran's call but didn't get through. She might be in surgery or busy.
Then she called Gu Xin.
"Xiaolu?! Are you alright?" Gu Xin's voice was anxious.
Su Lu, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Gu Xin, "How can I not worry? You were trapped at the site in a typhoon!"
Su Lu, "An accident."
Gu Xin, "Make sure it doesn't happen again. Su Zhe is coming back. I've always thought... is it because the scandal between Xiao Xi and me came out? He thinks you were wronged and is coming back to deal with me."
Su Lu laughed, "Not at all, my brother has a good temper."
Gu Xin, "That's only towards you! Anyway, it's good you're okay. If anything had happened to you, Su Zhe would have skinned me alive."
After a pause, Gu Xin hesitated for a while.
Then he asked, "I heard from the project team, Bo Jingshen he..."
Su Lu, "Yes."
The project team didn't just say a little.
Gu Xin, "You and him..."
Su Lu remained silent, and Gu Xin didn't push the matter.
Gu Xin, "Anyway, as long as you're happy. Oh, right."
Su Lu, "Hmm?"
A layer of displeasure slowly surfaced in Gu Xin's voice, "Your father called me, asking about your place in Hai City. I wasn't sure what he was planning, so I didn't tell him."
"Okay, thanks." Su Lu thought of needing to help that man wash his hair and didn't want to say more, ending the call.
As for the calls from Su Yukan, Su Jiao, Zhu Xinyan, and President Liu, Su Lu directly ignored them, with no intention of calling back.
When she reached Bo Jingshen's room, she heard the sound of water flowing from the bathroom.
Was he really taking a shower with those injuries?!
Su Lu hurriedly walked towards the bathroom.
But a deep voice came from behind, "If I had really gone in to wash my hair and shower, would you have barged in?"
Su Lu stopped in her tracks.
The man was sitting on a high stool by the small bar in the living room area, drinking a cup of coffee.
The pure taste of Mandheling, something he had long been accustomed to.
The bitterness inside him was so much that even the bitterest coffee over the years seemed sweet compared to it.
But now, for some reason, it tasted bitter again.
Seeing him frown slightly, Su Lu hesitated, "You're still injured, maybe you shouldn't drink coffee?"
"Oh." Bo Jingshen put down the cup and got up, speaking matter-of-factly, "Then make me some sugar water."
Yesterday he complained it was too sweet!
Su Lu had no interest in arguing with an injured man, especially since this one was hurt because of her.
She made the sugar water. Today he didn't complain it was too sweet and drank it with satisfaction.
"How was it, dealing with Gu Xin?" The man's voice carried a hidden sharpness.
Su Lu could not comprehend whether it was the anger and hatred from the humiliation of her marrying Gu Xin years ago,
making him resentfully jab at her every time Gu Xin was mentioned.
Or was it because... he still had lingering feelings for her and was jealous?
Su Lu didn't dare think of the latter. Just thinking it made her feel too shameless.
She didn't answer his question, just said, "Let's wash your hair."
Su Lu brought a basin by the bed so Bo Jingshen could lie down and have his hair washed.
She had grown up in the Su Family, not exactly pampered properly, but she had never served anyone.
So her skills were... not great.
Bo Jingshen even felt some spots were missed, but he couldn't help a slight smile.
But Su Lu thought she did quite well.
When she felt the washing was done, she took a towel to dry his hair.
Bo Jingshen said, "If you opened a hair salon..."
Su Lu blinked at him, "Could I make money?"
"You'd lose so much you'd have to sell blood."
Su Lu didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Bo Jingshen didn't change back into a hospital gown. He wore a well-tailored shirt.
With his hair dried, he looked ready to go out.
Su Lu, "Are you getting discharged?"
Bo Jingshen, "Are you planning on staying here?"
That wasn't the case.
Before Su Lu could respond, the man had already placed his hand on her forehead, "Your fever has mostly gone, get discharged."
It was alright for her to be discharged, but his back injury...
Bo Jingshen, "I have to attend the exhibition this afternoon, you will come with me."
Jiang Li wasn't wrong, he really couldn't stay off the battlefield even with minor injuries.
