Chapter 125: Bai Lian at the Rehabilitation Center
Lin Yu’s words stunned Su Wan.
She naturally understood what he meant.
But she did not want to. She did not want to owe him a favor, so she pretended to be stupid.
However, Lin Yu didn’t give her the chance. He smiled and insisted on putting Su Wan’s suitcase in the house. He continued, “I’ll help you with anything as long as you ask.”
After a pause, Lin Yu scratched the back of his head. “I’m not Mr. Jing. Some things are not as easy as his words, but I promise to do my best.”
Su Wan stood rooted to the ground, her hand holding onto her suitcase. Her heart trembled.
For some reason, she felt that this was a burden.
It might be better for the two of them to be straightforward.
Therefore, Su Wan’s words were not tactful at all. “Lin Yu, my relationship with you is impossible. You don’t have to treat me so well. I won’t know how to repay you.”
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment before he smiled indifferently. “It’s my choice to treat you well. Don’t feel burdened. I understand what you mean.”
…
That night, Jing Chen went to the rehabilitation center where Bai Lian was.
The VIP ward that he had arranged for Bai Lian had three balanced meals a day. She had everything she needed and would be sent to the treatment room at a fixed time. There would be doctors who would treat her in secret.
Ever since that incident on the Internet, Bai Lian’s mental state had worsened.
Jing Chen arranged for her to stay here all day.
Bai Lian was bored and could not fall asleep at night. Jing Chen had no choice but to come.
After that, Jing Chen looked at Bai Lian, who was smiling like a flower, sitting quietly on the bed, obviously waiting for him.
Seeing that she did not make a fuss, Jing Chen heaved a sigh of relief.
“I’ll accompany you until you fall asleep. Go to sleep.”
Bai Lian pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and muttered softly, “Are you going to leave after I fall asleep?”
The uncertainty in her words was filled with anticipation.
It was not that Jing Chen could not tell, but when he thought of Su Wan’s face, he retreated.
Looking at Bai Lian, he said calmly, “Yes, I’ll go back and sleep. It’s not comfortable here.”
“I’ve helped you pack it. It’s very comfortable. Can you accompany me? My insomnia is really serious.” Bai Lian’s pleading gaze landed on Jing Chen’s face. She saw that Jing Chen was indifferent.
Bai Lian was rather disappointed.
Jing Chen went forward and held her shoulders. Then, he covered her with the blanket, turned off the bright lights, and turned on the bedside lamp. Under the dim yellow light, Bai Lian’s eyes were not sleepy at all.
Just as she was about to say something, Lin Xiu entered.
She had already changed her clothes. When she saw Jing Chen, she held a cup of water and handed it to him with both hands. “Mr. Jing, your water is warm. Drink it while it’s hot.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Jing Chen took it and put it aside.
Instead, his suspicious gaze landed on Lin Xiu.
“Didn’t you leave tonight? Didn’t you say you would stay here to take care of Bai Lian?”
Lin Xiu looked troubled when she heard this. She glanced at Bai Lian and lowered her head without saying anything.
Bai Lian smiled. “There’s only one visitor room here. I asked her to clean it up for you to stay in, so she went back.”
Jing Chen understood. He glanced at Lin Xiu’s clothes and said calmly, “Change back. It’s more convenient for you to stay here and take care of Bai Lian. I have many things to do, I definitely won’t be as attentive as you.”
Lin Xiu waved her hand and said quickly, “Mr. Jing, there’s no need. I didn’t bring any daily necessities. There will be a doctor to take care of Miss Bai tonight.”
Bai Lian sighed slowly and gestured for Lin Xiu to leave with a smile.
Then, she got up, picked up the cup on the bedside table, and handed it to Jing Chen. After Lin Xiu left, she explained, “She’s very tired during the day and she’s watching over me every minute. If she doesn’t sleep well at night, I’m afraid that she can’t take it.”
Jing Chen took it and took a sip, forgetting about this.
“You should have told me earlier. I’ll arrange for someone to take care of you tomorrow night.”
Bai Lian didn’t look excited. She just smiled bitterly. “I don’t need anyone to take care of me at night. As long as you’re here, I’ll definitely be able to fall asleep. Can we sleep here together?”
Jing Chen rejected her without hesitation. “I’m busy during the day too.”
“When you’re not busy, it’s good for you to come over and sleep occasionally.” Bai Lian was relentless. She did not show any signs of anger on her face. Instead, she looked forward to it.
Jing Chen could not take her gaze. He lowered his head and took another sip of water. He had drunk a little too much.
He felt that the taste of the water was a little strange.
