BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1477 - 1477: Silent Gentleness
“Secretary Liang.”
Seeing Liang Ruoxu enter, Qiu Yuluo and Ning Che greeted each other. Then, they exchanged glances and quietly left the ward.
“Why are you here?” Lin Yi smiled.
“Team Leader Qiu informed me, so I came over early. I’ve been waiting for you for more than an hour.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“If I had told you in advance, would you have let me come?”
“Look at what you’re saying. How could I not let you come?”
“Cut the cr*p. Let me take a look at your injuries.”
“It’s fine, you don’t need to check anything.” Lin Yi stretched. “After a day and a night, I’m starving. 1’11 bring you out to eat something. They do claypot goose stewin the Northeast. It’s quite delicious.”
“Don’t waste time. Let me take a look.”
Liang Ruoxu reached out and unbuttoned Lin Yi’s clothes, only to find that the gauze was shockingly red.
“W-what’s going on?”
“I moved too much, so there’s a little blood. I’ll get the nurse to come over and change the dressing.”
“Nurse! Nurse!”
Without waiting for Lin Yi to speak, Liang Ruoxu called out, “Change the dressing of the patient.”
Soon, two nurses, one old and one young, walked in from outside and helped Lin Yi change his dressing.
The two people in front of him were not from the Second Hospital. Moreover, Lu Beichen had been sent over from Yanjing and both of them held military ranks.
This was to prevent Lin Yi’s whereabouts from being leaked.
“Major Lin, your injury…”
Lin Yi winked at the two of them, signaling them to stop talking and focus on their work.
“Stop giving secret signals,” Liang Ruoxu reprimanded. He looked at the two nurses and said, “Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s our duty.”
With that said, the middle-aged nurse took out a pair of scissors and carefully reminded,
“Bear with it. It might hurt a little.”
“Don’t worry and do it boldly. I’m an iron arhat, a living vajra. This small injury is nothing.”
With that, Lin Yi picked up the apple by the table and ate it bite by bite.
Liang Ruoxu was in no mood to pay attention to Lin Yi. Her gaze landed on the wound on his shoulder.
When the gauze was cut open, one could see that a palm-sized area was bleeding and soaked with pus.
“Wasn’t it already taken care of? Why does it still look like this?”
“It should be a matter of not being dealt with promptly and not getting proper care,” the middle-aged female nurse looked at Lin Yi and said.
“He hasn’t changed his dressing for at least three days. Otherwise, this wouldn’t have happened.”
“I changed it once in between.”
“I’m guessing you bought fake anti-inflammatory drugs. Things produced by a regular pharmaceutical factory won’t cause such a reaction.”
Lin Yi smiled helplessly. He had bought the medicine in Heishui City. At that time, he knew that it might be from a small pharmaceutical factory, but the situation was critical and he didn’t have time to overthink.
“It’s alright. The area of the wound is not big. It’ll be fine after a few days of anti-inflammatory medicine.”
The middle-aged nurse nodded. “Let me clean your wound. It might hurt a little.”
“No problem. Let’s go.”
The two nurses took out cotton swabs, iodophor, and alcohol, preparing to clean Lin Yi’s wound.
Although he could endure it, Lin Yi couldn’t help but grit his teeth.
The shocking redness made Liang Ruoxu’s expression change drastically. She turned around and walked to the door. She didn’t dare to look at Lin Yi anymore and quietly wiped away her tears.
This made Lin Yi’s heart ache.
“Why are you crying? Even if I’m injured, 1 won’t die.”
“I’m fine. Leave me alone.”
Liang Ruoxu could never act gentle.
However, this was a silent show of her gentleness.
The two nurses worked for more than half an hour before Lin Yi’s wound was cleaned, bandaged, and injected with anti-inflammatory medication.
“Don’t cry. You’re making me so upset. You’re making it out like I’m terminally ill.”
“Good. Leave me alone!”
Seeing that Liang Ruoxu was still angry, Lin Yi immediately cowered.
“After the drip, I’ll take you to eat claypot stewed goose.”
“What’s wrong with you? You only know how to think about food.” Liang Ruoxu scolded with her beautiful eyes.
“Stay here obediently. I’ll get someone to buy whatever you want to eat.”
“I want to eat you.”
“Be serious!”
“But I’m really hungry. 1 haven’t seen meat for a few days.” Lin Yi said.
“Get someone to send me some barbecue, roast lamb legs, and so on. They’re going to starve me.”
“Just wait. I’ll get someone to buy it.”
Liang Ruoxu walked out of the room. Lin Yi took out his phone and sent a message to An Ning and Li Sijin respectively to tell them that he was safe. He didn’t say anything else.
Then he called Ji Qingyan again.
“Mr. Lin, are you planning to come back soon?” Ji Qingyan asked.
“It seems like it’s getting close to the time.”
“There’s been a bit of an issue here, so it might take a few more days.”
Lin Yi calculated the dates. In about two more days, the training would be coming to an end.
His trip to the Northeast would also be nearing its conclusion.
However, he didn’t want to return so early and preferred to take some more time to recover from his injuries, as he didn’t want Ji Qingyan to notice too soon.
“Alright then,” Ji Qingyan said weakly. “But let me tell you, if you dare to come back empty-handed again, I’ll make you sleep on the sofa.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve prepared everything for you.”
“Really? What did you buy?”
“Needless to say, it would be a gift from the Northeast.”
“Mwah, don’t keep me in suspense. Tell me what it is.”
“I bought you a mink. It’s of good quality. With your figure, you’ll definitely look super good in it.”
“I live in Zhonghai all year round. Do you think I can use mink?”
“I feel like you’re just lying to me and haven’t actually prepared anything.”
Lin Yi chuckled. “Then don’t ask. Just know that I won’t come back empty-handed.”
“You’d better not.” Ji Qingyan replied in a somewhat haughty tone.
“By the way, what’s the idea behind sending Yuanyuan and the others to Ruxia for the wood import business? I don’t think Lingyun Group is involved in that kind of business, are they?”
“It’s a project I’m working on with someone else. This is to earn favors.”
There was no way to tell Ji Qingyan about this, so Lin Yi chose to gloss over it.
“I understand. In today’s society, favors are worth their weight in goal.”
“That’s the point.”
After talking about serious matters, they continued on to discuss meaningless topics. They were all trivial matters.
They chatted for more than half an hour before hanging up.
At this moment, Liang Ruoxu walked in from outside.
Lin Yi didn’t think it was a coincidence. She probably knew that he was on the phone, so she didn’t come in.
Moreover, the two of them had tacit understanding and did not mention this matter.
“Does it still hurt?”
“The area has been cleaned. It doesn’t hurt anymore.”
Looking at the bandage on Lin Yi’s shoulder and the drip on his head, Liang Ruoxu suddenly envied Ji Qingyan.
Lin Yi had given all the gentleness of his life to that woman.
Perhaps there would not be another person in his life who would receive such preferential treatment..
