Chapter 34 - Concerns

"I'm fine, I just accidentally fell. Don't make a fuss." Su Jinyi comforted them since he did not want them to worry too much.

"It's already like this and you're still fine. Look, your feet are a bit swollen." Nanny Lin looked at her face that was filled with pain, and almost teared up. "Why were you so careless?"

"It's really alright," Su Jinyi turned around and said to the Uncle Xu. "Uncle Xu, can you help me bring the medicine box over?"

"Alright, I'll go now." Uncle Xu replied and quickly went to get the medicine box.

Su Jinyi asked the Nanny Lin: "Has He Ruiting ever come back?"

"Teacher hasn't been back since he left this morning." The Nanny Lin looked at her and answered.

Very quickly, Uncle Xu took the medicine box over. After looking around the medicine box, he took out the disinfectant and smeared it on her hands and arms, then found a bottle of spray and sprayed it on her feet, after which he gently massaged her leg and pressed on it, he said: "For now, wipe it once, after you have finished showering tonight, wipe it again. However, do not touch the water on the wounds on your hands and arms as much as possible."

"It's a good thing that this wound isn't too deep. I should be able to recover in two days. It's just that the injury on my leg might take a few more days to heal." Uncle Xu said with concern.

"I'm not that pampered. This injury isn't much to me, it's really nothing. Don't be so nervous, it makes me feel a bit bad." Seeing how much they loved him, the warmth in Su Jinyi's heart once again surged, and was filled with emotion.

"If Mister sees it, I don't know how much his heart would ache." Uncle Xu sighed and said.

Would his heart really ache?

Su Jinyi frowned again. Speaking of He Ruiting, he still had no news of him, what would happen? Did something happen to the company?

"I want to go upstairs and rest first." Su Jinyi took her feet out from Nanny Lin's hands, "Nanny Lin, I'll have to trouble you to help me deliver dinner."

"Alright, I'll make some good food for you to supplement your meal tonight. Madam, please stay upstairs. It's not convenient for you to go up and down in this way." Nanny Lin replied.

"Then I'll be troubling you."

Su Jinyi returned to her room with the help of the Nanny Lin. She first went to the washroom to take off her makeup and wash her face before changing into a comfortable set of clothes to lie down on the bed.

It was only three o'clock in the afternoon. If he were to sleep now, he would definitely lose sleep at night. However, if he continued to do so, his mind would continue to wander.

She rolled on the bed a few times, then sat up, leaned against the headboard, and took out her cell phone to read the news. After looking around, she did not see any bad news about the He's, which meant that the company did not have any big issues, but, why was there no news about He Ruiting?

Just as Su Jinyi was thinking it through, her phone suddenly rang.

He Ruiting called.

Seeing his name light up on the screen, Su Jinyi became a little nervous.

"He Ruiting?" Su Jinyi uncertainly picked it up, her voice trembling.

"Mm, it's me." The voice that came from the other side of the phone gave Su Jinyi a sense of comfort, and he continued, "I'm sorry, something happened just now, I'm not on my phone."

"Yeah, it's fine." Hearing that he was fine, Su Jinyi felt that nothing was important anymore. As long as he was fine, everything would be fine.

"Where are you now?" He Ruiting asked.

"I couldn't get in touch with you, so I went home first." Su Jinyi did not say what happened in the dining hall today. She did not want to use these things to influence him.

He Ruiting who was on the other side of the phone went silent for a moment, and then said: "I'll be back earlier tonight."

"Mm. Alright." Su Jinyi heard someone calling him from the other side of the phone, so he said, "Go back to your work, I won't disturb you any longer."

Without waiting for He Ruiting to reply, Su Jinyi hung up. She took a deep breath, as her mind went blank, why did it feel like so many things had happened today?

It was just that Su Jinyi had not realised it yet, as if He Ruiting had slowly walked into her heart. It was just that he had something he had failed to arrange for today, and she was already this worried.

This kind of subtle change was not yet felt by the sluggish Su Jinyi.

During the night, He Ruiting had indeed returned very early. Nanny Lin had not even prepared dinner when he entered the room. After returning, He Ruiting immediately went to the entrance of Su Jinyi's room.

When Su Jinyi heard someone knocking on her door, before she could reply, the door was pushed open and He Ruiting walked in.

"You're back."

He Ruiting did not say anything. He walked to the side of the bed and directly lifted the quilt around her feet. Looking at her red and swollen ankle, his expression was not very good.

"Eh, that, I …" Su Jinyi was shocked by He Ruiting's sudden action, and did not know what to say. She anxiously retracted her leg, but was caught by He Ruiting.

"Why didn't you tell me?" He Ruiting's eyes fell on Su Jinyi's face, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.

"It's nothing important. I just don't want to disturb you. Your work is more important." Su Jinyi answered honestly, she indeed did not want him to worry.

"Your body is more important." He Ruiting's hand lightly covered her leg, carefully rubbing it, afraid that he would hurt her with just a little force.

"Are you all right at work?" Thinking that the reason why He Ruiting failed the appointment was because something had happened at the last minute, Su Jinyi asked in concern. Something that he was in such a rush to take care of must definitely be very important.

He Ruiting's finger paused for a bit, then continued to massage her, and indifferently replied: "I'm fine."

"It's good that you're fine." Su Jinyi did not notice that something was wrong with He Ruiting.

"In the future, don't get injured again." As He Ruiting massaged her, he said, "I can't even if it's an ordinary cold. I have to take good care of myself, understand?"

"Why are you so overbearing? I didn't mean to get hurt." Su Jinyi knew that he was concerned about her, but he was being too overbearing, all of these things were not something that she could control. Who would be willing to have any problems with their body, of course they all hoped that they would be fine.

"If I don't treat you a bit more tyrannically, then you won't put your body in the first place."

"I got it, I got it. I'll definitely pay attention to it in the future. Is that okay?" Su Jinyi felt that on this matter, she shouldn't argue with him, she could just obediently agree.

"It's best if you can do as you say." He Ruiting lifted his eyes, looking at her with extreme seriousness.
