Technically, Lin Wen is on duty and shouldn’t bring Wei Qing along.
But seeing Wei Qing’s reddened eyes, Lin Wen couldn’t find the words to refuse.
At worst, he’d just have to deal with a reprimand.
"Alright, you can co with ."
A hint of joy flashed in Wei Qing’s eyes: "Okay."
Lin Wen followed behind Wei Qing. Even though he could bring her along, it wouldn’t look right if others saw them walking together.
After all, Lin Wen was still wearing his police uniform.
If any citizens saw them, they’d surely have sothing not-so-nice to say.
Wei Qing knew that Lin Wen was behind her and felt very at ease.
There was an inexplicable sweet feeling in her heart.
Lin Wen’s gaze was fixed on Wei Qing. At first, he noticed she was a bit nervous, but she gradually relaxed.
Like a butterfly, she flitted among the street stalls, looking here and there.
At this mont, Lin Wen was like the princess’s knight, protecting her from a distance, while the princess only needed to enjoy herself without worry.
Soon, Lin Wen’s shift ended.
He took off his uniform and handed it to a nearby colleague on duty, then headed towards Wei Qing.
Wei Qing saw Lin Wen, now by her side, without his uniform.
Revealing the black sweater underneath.
"Are you done?" Wei Qing blinked, looking at Lin Wen with curiosity.
Lin Wen nodded: "Yes, I’m done. I’ll take you out for fun."
Wei Qing’s eyes imdiately sparkled: "Okay."
Lin Wen: "Let’s go."
Lin Wen didn’t take Wei Qing to the bustling crowd.
Instead, he led Wei Qing to a quieter place.
"From here, you can see the view below. Look!" Lin Wen pointed to a spot not far away for Wei Qing to see.
Wei Qing looked up and really could take in the entire view below, all the festivities laid out before her.
The red lanterns turned into red stars at this mont.
The river with the lantern reflections ford a glowing starry river.
"It’s so beautiful," Wei Qing remarked, looking at the scene before her.
"Soon, there’ll be fireworks too," Lin Wen said, turning to look at Wei Qing.
Wei Qing turned her head, her gaze eting Lin Wen’s in the air, creating a subtle shift in the atmosphere around them.
Wei Qing pulled her gaze back as if electrified.
Lin Wen slowly retracted his gaze, his eyes slightly unsettled.
After a while, fireworks suddenly exploded in the sky.
Wei Qing was startled, her body jolting, accidentally stepping into nothing and twisting her ankle.
Lin Wen imdiately rushed to support Wei Qing.
The pain in her ankle made Wei Qing let out a pained cry.
"Hiss!"
Lin Wen frowned: "Did you sprain it?"
Wei Qing nodded: "I think so."
Lin Wen helped Wei Qing sit down: "Sit down for a mont, let have a look."
Wei Qing sat on a stone, and Lin Wen crouched down, reaching for Wei Qing’s foot.
Wei Qing’s foot flinched, but Lin Wen didn’t give her room to pull away, coming off quite assertive in that mont.
The motion was gentle but carried a sense of dominance.
Lin Wen looked at Wei Qing’s ankle, gently touched it: "Is it here?"
Wei Qing’s eyes welled up with tears from the pain: "Yes."
Lin Wen: "It’s sprained. I’ll take you to the hospital."
Saying this, Lin Wen crouched down in front of Wei Qing.
Wei Qing looked at Lin Wen’s back, not moving.
Lin Wen turned his head: "Co on up."
Wei Qing bit her lip: "Isn’t this inappropriate?"
Lin Wen: "You can’t put weight on that foot anymore. Co on, I’ll take you through the shortcut, no one will see."
Wei Qing didn’t an it like that, but didn’t know what to say.
Hesitating, she finally lay on Lin Wen’s back.
Lin Wen hooked his forearm under Wei Qing’s calf.
Wei Qing lay on his back, feeling her cheeks heat up.
Not sure if it was because she was wearing too much today and felt hot.
Lin Wen walked steadily, and Wei Qing didn’t feel any discomfort.
Lin Wen took the back roads and didn’t encounter anyone along the way.
Wei Qing looked at Lin Wen in front of her, his broad back instilling an inexplicable sense of security.
Lin Wen’s steps were quick and steady, soon bringing Wei Qing to the hospital.
The doctor quickly tended to Wei Qing’s injured leg.
The doctor couldn’t help joking: "What happened with your boyfriend, how co he let you get injured twice in just one night?"
Wei Qing’s face instantly turned beet red.
The doctor looked at Lin Wen, chiding: "Young man, won aren’t as tough as you guys. Your girlfriend’s skin is so delicate; you should be more careful, or you’re quite an incompetent boyfriend."
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Lin Wen’s eyes, but he said: "I understand, thank you, doctor."
"Alright, this is for applying on your foot; don’t mix it up with the other one," the doctor advised.
Lin Wen: "Okay, thank you, doctor."
Wei Qing didn’t say a word throughout, her face probably as red as a monkey’s butt.
Lin Wen helped Wei Qing out of the hospital.
"You..." Wei Qing hesitated to speak.
Lin Wen looked at Wei Qing, waiting for her to continue.
"What is it?"
Wei Qing bit her lip: "Why didn’t you deny it just now?"
Lin Wen gazed intently at Wei Qing: "Deny what?"
Wei Qing’s face turned red: "About, about being boyfriend and girlfriend."
Lin Wen chuckled softly: "Then why didn’t you deny it?"
Wei Qing looked up at Lin Wen, a hint of accusation in her eyes.
Lin Wen imdiately said: "Alright, my fault."
Lin Wen’s gaze suddenly beca intensely invasive: "So, what do you think?"
Wei Qing felt a bit guilty under Lin Wen’s gaze: "Think about what?"
"Do you think I could be your boyfriend?" Lin Wen’s voice was low, seemingly carrying a hint of seduction.
Wei Qing’s ears also turned red.
"I... I don’t know."
Lin Wen: "It’s okay, you can think about it. I’ll take you ho now."
Lin Wen wasn’t in a rush for an answer and could tell that Wei Qing wasn’t entirely indifferent toward him.
Wei Qing didn’t dare to look at Lin Wen, just nodded: "Okay."
Lin Wen didn’t carry Wei Qing back ho, after all, it wouldn’t look good if neighbors saw them on the way back.
After all, they weren’t officially together yet.
So Lin Wen found a car.
He drove Wei Qing back ho.
Once ho, Lin Wen told Wei Qing to wait in the car.
Wei Qing was puzzled but complied.
Lin Wen got out of the car and knocked on Wei Qing’s house door.
The maid opened the door and looked at Lin Wen, a bit puzzled: "And you are?"
Lin Wen: "Hello, your young miss has sprained her ankle. I brought her back, but she’s not in a good state to get out of the car. Could you lend a hand?"
Upon hearing this, the maid imdiately said: "Okay, okay, where’s Miss Wei Qing?"
Lin Wen pointed to the car behind him: "In the car."
The maid promptly followed Lin Wen over.
