At this time, the person who was being used as a bargaining chip was sleeping soundly on the two-meter-long bed.
I had no idea about this multi-digit transaction.
Lu Anzhi turned over in a daze in the middle of the night and was instantly awakened by the pain.
In addition, she was not used to sleeping on her stomach, and her whole body was numb as if she had been beaten. She supported her arms and tried to get the water glass on the bedside with trembling hands.
"woke up?"
A familiar voice came from the darkness, a little hoarse, as if a person had been silent for a long time.
Lu Anzhi, who was still confused just now, was suddenly startled: "Holy crap, are you a ghost? Are you planning to eat people if you stay up so late at night?"
With that said, he leaned forward to turn on the bedside lamp.
"Wait a minute!" Huo Zhiyan quickly stopped him and coughed lightly: "Did you forget that you are not wearing any clothes?"
Lu Anzhi's mind buzzed for a moment, and he immediately took his hand back.
Yes, she had an injury on her back and she had just been given medicine.
The doctor said that leaving the wound open would be better for recovery, so the upper body was stripped naked.
Lu Anzhi was a little irritated, so she could only continue to lie down in a low voice, and pulled the quilt to symbolically block it.
"It's pitch black and you can't see. Why such a big reaction?"
Huo Zhiyan took a deep breath, tilted his head and ignored her.
But I really wanted to remind her that the bed she slept on was next to the window, and some light could be faintly revealed through the curtains.
Although from her perspective, Huo Zhiyan was almost completely hidden in darkness.
But Huo Zhiyan could see the outline of her body clearly.
If Lu Anzhi was more bold and really leaned out to drink water, maybe he could see more.
"Alas..." Lu Anzhi buried her head into the pillow and sighed: "Why does it still hurt so much after taking painkillers?"
Huo Zhiyan closed his eyes, stabilized his thoughts and explained: "The doctor said that you have a superficial second-degree burn. You will have obvious pain. The recovery period will be about half a month."
"Half a month?" Lu Anzhi was about to cry but had no tears: "Even if I don't get burned to death, I will still be crippled."
"Don't worry, even if you die, you won't be disabled."
"I'm teasing you~" Lu Anzhi tilted her head and asked, "When will we leave the Huo family? I don't like it here at all."
"Tomorrow." Huo Zhiyan's tone was calm and there was no trace of emotion: "You really want to leave? If the wound is not treated in time, it may leave scars!"
Lu Anzhi didn't care: "If you have a scar, just leave it. It's not on your face. Anyone who has nothing to do will always expose his back to others."
After a moment of silence, he seemed to remember something big, and asked: "By the way, am I not allowed to eat hot pot, snail noodles, and spicy strips for a long time?"
"Will you die if you skip one meal?"
Huo Zhiyan frowned. He really didn't know what to say to this woman: "Close your eyes and mouth quickly and go to sleep."
Lu Anzhi couldn't sleep, so she turned slightly sideways and patted the half-empty bed next to her: "We are all members of our family, so don't sit still and go to bed and sleep together!"
Huo Zhiyan snorted coldly: "If I weren't in Huo's house now, with so many people staring at me, do you think I want to enter this house?"
He has not forgotten the painful experience of sleeping with this woman the first few times. It was just one night. He would rather sit than wrong himself.
Lu Anzhi stuck out her tongue: "Tch, it sounds like I'm going to do something to you. Please, I'm a patient now. Can you have some basic sympathy? Even an employee needs humanistic care. "
"How much more care do you need?"
"Give me a glass of water anyway!"
Huo Zhiyan instinctively wanted to take it by himself, but it wasn't like he couldn't get it, but the looming silhouette suddenly appeared in his mind. He gritted his teeth, stood up and walked to the bed.
Picked up the water glass and handed it over: "Drink."
Lu Anzhi suddenly became serious: "No, you have to ask the princess for a drink of water."
Huo Zhiyan's forehead twitched: "Believe it or not, I will take it out to feed the dog now."
"Drink, drink, drink!" Lu Anzhi quickly stood up, grabbed the water glass, and drank half of the glass.
Huo Zhiyan lowered his eyes and moved his gaze unconsciously. Although the light was insufficient, he could still see a large dark burn mark on Lu Anzhi's originally smooth back.
On the right shoulder blade, there was a blister half the size of a palm, shining brightly in the dark night.
The wounds were shocking and made people feel very uncomfortable.
Lu Anzhi glared at him: "What are you looking at? You have to pay for it!"
Huo Zhiyan quickly looked away, his eyes darkening: "What compensation do you want?"
As long as it's not too much, he will try his best to satisfy you.
Lu Anzhi held the water glass. Seeing that Huo Zhiyan didn't take it, she simply leaned over and put it on the bedside table: "Forget it, you think you're pitiful for me."
After saying that, he buried his head and joked after a moment: "How about you pull Huo Shiyu over and I scold her to relieve her anger?"
I thought Huo Zhiyan would scold her for being crazy, but unexpectedly he agreed immediately: "Huo Shiyu will come over tomorrow morning. You don't need to worry about anyone. You can scold her as you like."
"Huh?" Lu Anzhi was stunned: "Are you having a twitch?"
Huo Zhiyan was silent.
Lu Anzhi sighed: "I said no, I know your difficulties. When you go to sleep, don't disturb me!"
After saying that, he pulled the quilt over his face and unilaterally announced to stop communication.
The room fell silent again.
It was so quiet that only two weak breaths could be heard.
Huo Zhiyan stood at the head of the bed for a long time, and did not leave until he was sure that the woman lying on the bed had fallen asleep again.
Before leaving, his eyes moved to that naked body.
He shook his head in his mind. He really couldn't figure out whether this woman really thought he couldn't see her, or whether she thought it didn't matter even if he saw her.
From the moment they met, Lu Anzhi lived like a man. She mingled in a car repair shop full of men every day, eating and working. She never shied away from anything. From time to time, she would make dirty jokes and talk to her subordinates. The masters put their arms around each other.
You could say she doesn't know how to be reserved, but her private life is very clean.
But to say that he understands the differences between men and women, Huo Zhiyan really doesn't dare to agree.
Many times, he felt that Lu Anzhi was too honest with him.
Does she really not know that it is wrong to be unprotected against men like this?
Huo Zhiyan subconsciously bent down, pulled the quilt next to her, and covered her unburned side.
…
One person was lying on the bed and the other person was sitting on a chair. Both of them slept very poorly that night.
Just after dawn, I woke up all at once.
Li Jiu received the call and immediately arranged for a doctor to come over and treat the wound.
Huo Zhiyan stood at the door waiting, washing the wound, applying medicine, and bandaging it for half an hour. During this half hour, he didn't hear a single sound from Lu Anzhi. Even a grown man like him couldn't help but admire his endurance.
After the doctor left, Lu Anzhi wore a special hospital gown and took a few mouthfuls of porridge. Her upper body was wrapped in sterile gauze like a zombie.
Seeing Huo Zhiyan coming in, he asked casually: "Aren't we leaving yet?"
"No rush!" Huo Zhiyan looked calmly and glanced outside the room: "It should be here soon, just wait."
"Who are you waiting for?"
"You can scold someone who relieves your anger."
