When she turned around, she spotted a familiar figure coming out of the dermatology department.
It was Duan Xu.
Surprised, it had been a long time since she had seen him after her discharge from the hospital. What was he doing here? Could he have been injured somewhere? Out of curiosity, she walked to the entrance of the dermatology department where a doctor just happened to come out, "By the way, doctor, what happened to that patient who just left?"
"Are you talking about Mr. Duan? Oh, he was burned by fire, with a large area affected on his back."
"Burned?" Huo Lan You exclaimed in shock, "How did he get burned?" Could it be that Yang Jinsheng and his group were after him again?
"Oh, didn't there happen a fire in the city half a month ago? He was scalded inside, and he said it was to save someone," the doctor finished and walked away from her.
"Half a month ago... scalded..." Huo Lan You stood in place, her mind echoing the doctor's words, wasn't half a month ago the fire at the banquet? Could he also have been injured? But he clearly didn't go in, was it to save someone, could it be to save herself?
Her body trembled slightly, and she hurriedly chased after him.
Under the golden sunlight, Duan Xu was about to bend down and enter a car at the entrance.
"Wait—, Duan Xu," Huo Lan You shouted from behind.
The figure getting into the car paused slightly, Duan Xu stiffened, turned his head, a deep light flashed in his eyes, but his mouth curved into a habitually charming arc, looking straight at her as she ran to him, "Are your injuries healed?" His gaze fell on her stomach.
"Almost, I'm starting work tomorrow," Huo Lan You's black eyes sparkled, "Duan Xu, I just saw you coming out of the dermatology department, the doctor said you were scalded half a month ago to save someone, is that right?"
Duan Xu was slightly stunned, turned his face away, "It's nothing, it's almost healed now."
"Duan Xu, were you trying to save me at the time..." Huo Lan You asked tentatively in a low voice.
"If you are feeling grateful or guilty because of this, then there's no need," Duan Xu smiled like a gentleman, "As you said, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have encountered this danger, let alone that it wasn't me who saved you."
"I'm sorry, Duan Xu," Huo Lan You indeed felt a bit guilty, "I take back the bad things I said to you before, you're right, I'm a police officer, saving you, protecting you, it's what I should do, I shouldn't bring personal feelings to you."
"Aren't you very much disgusted with me, but because I was scalded, you decided not to be disgusted with me anymore," Duan Xu laughed, seeming to be joking, but also seriously asking.
"I have never been disgusted with you," Huo Lan You shook her head seriously, "I think there was some misunderstanding before."
"Then do you believe me now?" Duan Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"At least I understand that you are a good friend worth my heart," Huo Lan You took a deep breath, pursed her lips, and finally said this sentence.
"Well... Since we are good friends, can we have dinner together now?" Duan Xu opened the car door, exuding a mature aura.
"Ah!" Huo Lan You was stunned, she had promised to wait at home for Lian to come back today.
"Not willing?"
"No," she smiled and got into the car.
