Ye Qiu arrived at the intensive care unit.
He opened the door and was startled.
Lin Jingzhi was not wearing any clothes.
It was definitely inappropriate to look!
Ye Qiu instinctively wanted to back out.
But soon, he realized something was amiss.
Lin Jingzhi was bowing her head, her hand moving behind her back, apparently unaware that someone had entered.
"Lin Jie, what are you doing?"
Ye Qiu couldn't help but ask.
Startled by the sudden voice, Lin Jingzhi quickly grabbed a blanket to cover herself. However, when she looked up and saw it was Ye Qiu, a look of joy appeared on her beautiful face. She hurriedly said, "You came back just in time, come help me."
"What happened?" Ye Qiu asked.
Lin Jingzhi explained, "My hair is tangled in the button of my clothes, and I can't get it out. Help me, please."
"Lin Jie, this... isn't very appropriate, is it?"
Although Ye Qiu wasn't exactly a paragon of virtue, he understood the propriety of keeping distance between men and women.
If someone were to see this, there would be no way to clear his name, no matter how deep he jumped into the Yellow River.
Moreover, hospitals were notorious for gossip, and if word got out about a caregiver being involved with a female patient, he might as well forget working there.
Lin Jingzhi didn't know Ye Qiu had so many concerns. Seeing him standing still, she said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and help me."
"Lin Jie, how about I call a nurse?"
"Call a nurse for what?" Lin Jingzhi glanced at Ye Qiu and immediately understood. She smiled coquettishly and said, "I'm not afraid, so why should you be?"
"But…"
"Stop hesitating, hurry up." Lin Jingzhi pretended to be angry, "If you don't listen to me, I'll file a complaint against you."
Ye Qiu was helpless.
After all, he was her caregiver.
Lin Jingzhi turned sideways, and immediately, a flawless, white back came into Ye Qiu's view, as pure as jade and glowing softly.
Not a bit of excess flesh.
Just as her name suggested, very delicate.
Looking closely, Ye Qiu saw that her hair was indeed tangled in the button.
"Hurry up and help me."
Lin Jingzhi urged.
Ye Qiu approached the bed and carefully reached out, struggling for a while, sweating profusely before finally managing to free her hair.
"All done, Lin Jie."
Ye Qiu sighed in relief.
"Help me undo this button," Lin Jingzhi said.
"What?" Ye Qiu didn't immediately understand.
"Help me unbutton it," Lin Jingzhi explained, "I didn't realize it was too small and it's very uncomfortable. Next time, I'll need a bigger size."
Ye Qiu was speechless.
"Hurry up!" Lin Jingzhi urged again.
"Why don't you do it yourself?"
Ye Qiu stepped back, thinking that this woman had hands of her own, yet wanted him to help. She must be trying to take advantage of him.
He couldn't let her succeed.
"Coward!" Lin Jingzhi shot him a look and said, "Get me a piece of clothing from the wardrobe."
The intensive care unit was not like an ordinary ward. Each room was equipped with a private bathroom and a wooden wardrobe.
Ye Qiu walked over and opened the wardrobe.
He was immediately stunned.
Inside the wardrobe, there were all kinds of clothes: short skirts, professional attire, evening gowns...
An array of choices.
At least a dozen pieces.
There were even two extremely attractive camisole dresses.
Ye Qiu swallowed nervously.
Was this woman here to recuperate or on vacation?
"Lin Jie, which one do you want to wear?" Ye Qiu asked.
"The white T-shirt on the far left. Do you see it? Quickly get it for me."
Ye Qiu took out the shirt and handed it to Lin Jingzhi.
Lin Jingzhi didn't rush to put on the clothes but looked at Ye Qiu with her watery eyes, her long lashes fluttering. She coyly said, "Little brother, do you like me?"
Isn't that obvious?
Any normal man would like her.
After all, a beauty like Lin Jingzhi was a dream for many men. If he directly told her he liked her, wouldn't it be too straightforward?
It was better to be a bit reserved.
Ye Qiu glanced at Lin Jingzhi. The shirt wasn't on yet, so she looked like a half-covered pipa.
Very beautiful.
Ye Qiu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, I like you."
"Then how about I become your girlfriend?" Lin Jingzhi asked.
"Sure," Ye Qiu agreed immediately.
"Dream on," Lin Jingzhi laughed heartily.
Damn, he had been tricked.
"Lin Jie, please put on the clothes quickly!" Ye Qiu turned around, facing away from Lin Jingzhi.
Lin Jingzhi's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
By the time Ye Qiu turned back around, she had already dressed. However, the T-shirt was a bit small and stretched tightly.
"Today's matter was handled too indecisively," Lin Jingzhi suddenly said.
Ye Qiu was puzzled, "What matter are you referring to?"
"The issue with Guo Shaocong."
"Lin Jie, how did you know about that?" Ye Qiu was surprised.
Lin Jingzhi smiled, "You practically ruined him. Such big news has spread all over the hospital. I heard it from the nurses."
So that's how it was.
"Lin Jie, you said I wasn't decisive enough. What would you have done if it were you?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.
Lin Jingzhi smiled slightly and said, "If it were me, I would have dealt with Guo Shaocong. As the saying goes, 'The King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little demons are troublesome.' Guo Shaocong is a thoroughgoing scoundrel. If you don't eliminate him, he'll definitely come back to trouble you, and next time, it won't be a simple issue. He might even threaten your life."
"Surely not?"
"Don't underestimate the determination of a petty person seeking revenge. We'll see."
...
Meanwhile.
In another intensive care unit at Jiangzhou Hospital.
Guo Shaocong slowly woke up.
"Shaocong, you're awake." Zhang Lili's face was full of surprise.
"Where am I?" Guo Shaocong asked.
"In the intensive care unit!" Zhang Lili said, "A team of specialists performed surgery on you, successfully reattaching your severed arm and knee. They said you just need to rest for six months, and you'll fully recover."
"What about my dad?"
"Vice President Guo is at work."
Guo Shaocong was furious, "Even with me in this state, he's still going to work?"
"Shaocong, don't be angry. The doctor said that getting upset during recovery is not good for healing…"
"Get out!"
Guo Shaocong roared.
Tears welled up in Zhang Lili's eyes as she felt deeply hurt.
"Are you deaf? I told you to get out!" Guo Shaocong shouted again.
Waa—
Zhang Lili ran out crying.
"Damn woman, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in this situation!"
After calming down.
Guo Shaocong stared at the ceiling, his eyes filled with venom. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Qiu, wait for me!"
"I will never let you go!"
"I'll kill your whole family!"
