A towel was placed on the bedside.
He thought of the woman he encountered before passing out and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
— Ha, quite brave.
Bai ngyu had already finished washing up and was blow-drying her hair in her pajamas when she suddenly noticed the bedroom door opening, and the man inside walked out with just a towel wrapped around his lower body.
She jumped up in surprise, like a startled little rabbit. Her half-dried hair fell beside her cheeks, making her appear even more slender and pale.
This softened Li Xiaotian’s gaze—
"You saved ."
A definite and deep voice sounded, making Bai ngyu’s cheeks flush: "I..."
Before she could say anything else, Li Xiaotian closed his eyes and struggled to hold onto the door fra: "Is my phone still there?"
Bai ngyu felt a bit disappointed but quickly ran over to rummage through the wet clothes: "Sorry, I forgot to check your personal belongings — the phone is also wet, I don’t know if it still works."
Fortunately, though it was damp in the pocket, it surprisingly still worked when taken out, and Li Xiaotian unceremoniously sent out a location—
[I’m injured, have a doctor co over]
anwhile, he discreetly took photos of the surroundings and of the woman.
Once he received an accurate response from the other side, he finally observed the woman in front of him, eventually giving a smile that revealed no clear intentions.
...
Due to excessive blood loss, knowing assistance would arrive soon, Li Xiaotian started to sway slightly.
Seeing this, Bai ngyu quickly put the hairdryer aside and approached to support him.
"Are you alright? Let help you with anything. For now, you should lie down."
Li Xiaotian did not refuse.
Within minutes, he had seen through all this girl’s personality traits, showing a rather weak deanor now.
"Are you not afraid of ?"
He said softly.
Bai ngyu, thinking of sothing, blushed: "Afraid, but you’re so badly injured and won’t go to the hospital..."
She seed extrely shy, yet also as if she had mustered imnse courage to make this decision.
Li Xiaotian tugged at his mouth into a smile.
He was taller than Bai ngyu, so she naturally did not see his expression at that mont and instead looked up at him timidly and shyly the next second.
"Do you... need anything else?"
Li Xiaotian struggled to sit back against the headboard, coldly ordering: "Sit beside and stay with ."
Despite such a strong tone, the words spoken were rather weak, making Bai ngyu feel she had seen through this cold man’s soft interior, and she contently sat by the bed.
Perhaps too weak, Li Xiaotian closed his eyes without speaking, while she discreetly used her gaze to trace the features of the person in front of her, creating an exceptionally quiet atmosphere.
...
But the silence didn’t last long.
After only a few minutes, the seemingly weak energy started to slowly return. Li Xiaotian opened his eyes and commanded Bai ngyu: "Tell about yourself."
Bai ngyu was taken aback.
Then she saw Li Xiaotian closing his eyes again. His lips were white and even his voice softened: "You saved . I want to know more about you."
Bai ngyu’s heart raced—indeed, it was worth it!
She quickly adjusted her mood and started to describe her life in detail.
"I used to live over in the East District..."
Back then, she had a happy family, with parents who loved her.
She was beautiful, growing up with everyone’s praise and flattery. However, at fifteen, on a late night coming back from a classmate’s house, she encountered a drunk on the road and was fortunately saved by personnel from the criminal police team.
That policeman was gentle and considerate to her. Even though she was young, she quickly fell for him, wanting nothing more than to date him every day...
As a result, her grades plumted, and her classmates secretly laughed at her.
Thus, Bai ngyu’s parents arranged for her to transfer schools, moving from the East District to the West District.
But they had high hopes for their daughter, with the transfer target being a key provincial high school in the West District, which emptied the couple’s savings just for the arrangents.
Unexpectedly, shortly after moving, her parents were in a car accident, struggling in the hospital for a long ti, even selling the house, and ultimately couldn’t save them...
Under such conditions, naturally, Bai ngyu’s college entrance exam was a flop, and she only got into a local junior college, later working as a receptionist at a nearby hotel...
Now, the apartnt she lives in is rented.
Because it is an old neighborhood, small and in a remote location, it only costs 1,200 yuan a month.
Though the hotel provides board and lodging, she couldn’t stand sharing a dormitory with many others, so after paying the rent, her salary left little remaining.
