208 Lodging
In the car, Jing Yan kept the heater on, afraid that He Miao would feel cold.
He placed her in the back seat of the car, closed the door, turned on the lights in the car, and reached out to grab her feet.
“I can do it myself.” He Miao took off her tiresome high heels, and only then did she feel relaxed.
The ten-centimeter high heels looked dazzling, but it was actually a torture to wear.
“Let me see.” Jing Yan carefully held her toes. When he saw the blisters on her ankles, his heart ached so much that his eyes turned red.
“Are you an idiot? Your feet hurt, but you don’t know how to change your shoes.” Jing Yan furrowed his brows and checked her other foot, cursing the student who provided the costume in his heart.
“I’m fine, it’s just a blister. I’ll be fine after some rest.” As He Miao consoled him, she hid her feet under his skirt, refusing to let him see them again.
Jing Yan pursed his lips and sat in the driver’s seat in silence. Then, he drove to the hospital.
He Miao leaned against the car window drowsily. She only woke up when someone pulled her into his arms. The red light shone on her face. She looked up and realized that this guy had taken her to the hospital while she was asleep.
He Miao suddenly did not know whether to laugh or cry. She grabbed his collar and advised, “Let’s go home. We don’t need to go to the hospital. This injury is nothing.”
“You’re strong.” Jing Yan glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes, then continued to carry her to the hospital.
After the doctor personally treated He Miao’s foot wound and opened a can of ointment, Jing Yan carried her back to the car in satisfaction and drove her home.
On the way, he suddenly thought of the time when he was injured when he became a stupid dog.
At that time, he was covered in wounds and was filled with malice. Only in He Miao’s arms could he have a peaceful and pure place, a place where he could sleep in peace.
Perhaps it was then that he began to change his view of her and began to seriously understand this little girl who used to always chase after him.
He did not regret having such a painful experience of being abused. On the contrary, he was very grateful to that stupid dog. Otherwise, he would have missed such a beautiful girl.
When the car arrived at He Miao’s house, Jing Yan carried her out of the car again. Just as they were about to enter the building, he saw a tall and straight figure standing under a tree.
Jing Yan looked at him and subconsciously pulled He Miao into his arms. “You’re Li Feng?” he asked in a calm and cold tone.
“It’s me.” Li Feng walked over from the tree. Because he had stood for too long, his legs were still a little numb when he walked. He staggered for a while before he could barely walk.
He looked at the girl in Jing Yan’s arms and forced an ugly smile. He scratched his head shyly and said, “I was kicked out of the hotel. I thought about it and decided to go back to the village. I can’t disturb your life now. I just came here to see you one last time before I leave.”
“Li Feng, why were you kicked out?” He Miao propped up her head and leaned against Jing Yan’s chest as she looked at Li Feng.
She could not be blamed for not getting out of Jing Yan’s arms. The point was that she did not have any shoes on her feet, so she could only maintain this posture and awkwardly retract her feet into her long skirt.
“I…” Li Feng seemed to have difficulty speaking. He rubbed his calloused hands uneasily. “I don’t have enough money on me. They want me to pay for an extension of the stay, but I can’t.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at the two’s intimate appearance and suddenly realized something. He anxiously waved his hands and explained, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say that. I didn’t mean to take your money. I’m here to say goodbye to you. I still have the money for the trip home. I don’t need your money.”
He Miao heaved a deep sigh and glanced at Jing Yan’s tense jaw. She grabbed Jing Yan’s collar and begged in a low voice, “Can you let him stay at your place for the night? I’ll help him find a place to stay tomorrow.”
“Then where should I sleep?” Jing Yan lowered his eyes and looked at her unhappily.
He had just renovated that unit for He Miao. It was for his own use only. How could he let a man who had designs on his girlfriend live there?
He would never agree to it!
“You’ll stay with me.”
“What?” Jing Yan, who had been so confident just now, was shaken by He Miao’s words.
He lowered his head with uncertainty, his dark eyes shining. “Are you serious?”
“Well, I can’t let you suffer.” Seeing that he did not reject her again, He Miao turned to Li Feng. “Come upstairs with us. You can sleep at my boyfriend’s house tonight. We’ll talk about other things tomorrow.”
“I-I can’t. I’ll be too much of a bother.” Li Feng looked even more nervous. He glanced at Jing Yan in panic, afraid that Jing Yan would argue with He Miao over this.
He just wanted to see if the girl he missed was living a happy life, not to cause trouble for her!
“It’s okay. You can stay here in peace. We’ll talk tomorrow.”
After He Miao finished speaking, Jing Yan turned around and left with her in his arms, not giving Li Feng any time to react.
He could not wait for Li Feng to disappear completely, but he tolerated it for the time being because of He Miao.
