C8 Old Acquaintance

Guan Yuanyi's hands seemed to have the power to support her. They had been in close contact several times, but during the time that Xu Ran was in the most miserable state, she was able to lean her entire weight on Guan Jingyi's hands. Those hands were full of power and security.

In the beginning, Xu Ran had only leaned on Guan Jingyi's body. Although she had a stomachache, it wasn't to the point of being delirious. She had always been alert to the situation, constantly reminding her to keep her distance from it and restrain her unspeakable emotions. Therefore, Xu Ran had used her head to lean against Guan Jingyi's body. Her body was still quite a distance away from him.

Shangguan Jingyi lowered his eyes to look at her strange posture. He was worried that Xu Ran would twist his neck and take her chin in his hands. Only then did he arrange her face so that she could comfortably lean into his embrace.

Guan Jingyi cast a worried glance at the person in his arms before he raised his eyes to look at Tan Qiuxu, who was standing not far away.

Four eyes met, two completely different types of men. One was calm and collected, the other was cold and arrogant.

"What a coincidence!" The one who spoke first was Tan Qiuxu, who refused to talk much. However, his tone sounded a little unfriendly.

The official's attitude wasn't that good either. He was just well-groomed, so he didn't say anything in front of Xu Ran. He only said, "Long time no see. The enemies are on a narrow path. You better take care of yourself."

At this time, she was struggling a little for her principle. The conversation between the two of them just now had drifted into Xu Ran's ears. It was only then that Xu Ran found out that Brother Yi and Chief Tan were old acquaintances.

Guan Jingyi's eyes were downcast, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes. He closed his eyes and looked at the restless girl in his arms. Guan Jingyi said: "Why are you so uncomfortable, and you're still so dishonest. Hmm?"

The last word, "Mmm," slightly raised in the end, had a slightly intimidating quality to it, but as the official's voice was not loud, it had a touch of tenderness to it.

"I …" Xu Ran didn't know how to reply. She could only allow herself to lie in Guan Jingyi's arms as she listened to his heartbeat. Bang, bang, bang. She followed his footsteps.

Hearing the sound of the door opening and knowing that she was about to get in the car, Xu Ran took the opportunity to break away from Guan Jingyi's arms. When she looked up, she saw Tan Qiuxu standing neutral in the cold wind with both hands in the pockets of his coat.

Xu Ran didn't know what was going on with her, nor did she think that Tan Qiu would ignore her. She raised her hand high and said to Tan Qiuxu, "Director, I was in the wrong today." As a doctor, treating and saving others was a natural duty, but that did not mean that one could control life and death. "Director Tan, you've done very well. I'm proud to have such a master like you."

Xu Ran said these words with a happy smile on her face and a hazy mist covering her eyes.

Tan Qiuxu's eyebrows twitched, his heart seemed to have been pulled by something.

The expression of Guan Jingyi, who was standing beside Xu Ran, was a bit unsightly. He had never seen Xu Ran smile at him like this before. He wasn't on guard at all. She was even a little touched by him.

Shangguan Jingyi was not in a good mood.

He said to Xu Ran, "Go back!"

Xu Ran didn't notice the expression on Jing Yi's face and continued to wave her arms at Tan Qiuxu. "Director, I'm going back first. You should go back as soon as possible …"

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shangguan Jingyi's voice. His voice rose several notches before he could finish his sentence, "An An, I'm leaving!"

Xu Ran stared blankly. When she came back to her senses, she realized that Guan Jingyi had already circled around her and got into the car from the other side. The car door slammed shut.

Only now did Xu Ran realize that Guan Jingyi was angry, but why was he angry?

Car

Guan Jingyi told the driver to go to the hospital first and listened to the driver, "Yes."

He watched as the driver steered the car into the opposite road, the one that led to his emergency room. Xu Ran leaned towards Jing Yi, who was resting with his eyes closed. "Brother Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Guan Jingyi slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Ran without saying a word.

Xu Ran suddenly realized that it was because of the pain in her stomach.

"No, there's no need. Brother Yi, it's just a small matter. You don't need to worry about it." Xu Ran shook her head and refused.

Shangguan Jingyi frowned. These words were very polite.

Xu Ran was a little worried. It was because of his physiological period that his stomach had suddenly started hurting. It would not be good for him to tell her these things. However, if he did not say it out loud, he would not force himself to do it based on his personality.

Xu Ran shook Guan Yi's arm and said, "I really don't need to go to the hospital. My pain is very normal."

Guan Jingyi's frown deepened as he looked at Xu Ran with a puzzled expression.

Xu Ran blushed and lowered her head. She muttered under her breath, "It's her period."

Shangguan Jingyi was suddenly enlightened. He really hadn't thought of this.

Come on," he said to the driver. Guan Jingyi randomly picked up a magazine and lowered his head. After a while, he suddenly said, "That's right, wasn't I feeling unwell just now? Why is it that in the blink of an eye, you're still so energetic when talking to others?" He was sitting on a seat with his legs crossed, reading a magazine and teasing Xu Ran in a bad mood.

Xu Ran was a monk, so she could not make head or tail of it. Guan Jingyi's temper was always good. Even if he was unhappy, he usually wouldn't show it on his face, unlike the current him.

"That's my Director and Master. Didn't you tell me before that I have to build a good relationship with my superior? In the future, I will be able to do it, and I will naturally learn more skills!"

Guan Yi frowned. He raised his head from the magazine and looked at Xu Ran's bright eyes. "When have I ever told you how to act in such a common way?"

"…" said Xu Ran.

Shangguan Jingyi threw the magazine on top of Xu Ran. He folded his hands on his lap like a high-ranking official. Xu Ran knew he was going to teach him a lesson, so he lowered his head.

Guan Jingyi cast a sidelong glance at her, just in time to see her mischievously spit out a small pink tongue from her mouth.
