Wen Jin shifted his gaze from Jing Xiaocha’s face to her injured right arm, staring for a mont before asking, "Does the wound still hurt?"
"It doesn’t hurt anymore."
At the ntion of the wound, Jing Xiaocha’s mind flashed back to that kiss from the other day.
She frowned in annoyance, silently scolding herself for always letting her mind wander.
"Have you thought about being discharged early?"
Perhaps because Wen Jin suddenly changed the subject, Jing Xiaocha didn’t react imdiately, taken aback by his question.
She looked at him in shock, "Discharge?"
"Yeah, didn’t you say your arm doesn’t hurt anymore? So there’s no need to stay in the hospital all the ti. I’ll have Ah Kai check on you tomorrow, and if everything’s fine, you can be discharged!"
"You’re okay with being discharged?"
Jing Xiaocha was very surprised.
She had been thinking about leaving the hospital, especially after that awkward incident, Jing Xiaocha no longer wanted to stay here.
Wen Jin had a personal reason for wanting her discharged.
Earlier, when he went to see Ou Yihan, she ntioned wanting to leave the hospital. He stopped her, suggesting she stay a few more days.
He guessed it might be related to what happened the other day.
Since Mother Ou had been in a bad mood and both Jing Xiaocha and Ou Yihan were in the hospital, whenever he visited, he couldn’t just see Xiaocha without also visiting Ou Yihan.
It would be awkward.
Besides, Xiaocha probably had so emotional scars.
In a place like a hospital, everything felt unnatural while getting along with him.
It would be better for Xiaocha to recover at ho, where he could take better care of her and avoid making her uncomfortable.
Wen Jin kept a gentle smile on his lips, appearing warm and approachable under the light.
Such a side of him was irresistible to Jing Xiaocha, causing her to fall for him unconsciously.
"As long as your arm is fine, of course, I’m okay with you leaving the hospital. But rember to take care of yourself at ho, don’t act like you’re not a patient."
"I will, I will."
Jing Xiaocha giggled.
She didn’t like staying in the hospital, even in a VIP room, it still felt uncomfortable.
She wasn’t used to the sll of disinfectant and the hospital environnt.
She didn’t like thinking of herself as a patient.
Seeing how much she wanted to leave, Wen Jin said cheerfully, "Okay, I’ll ask Ah Kai later, if there are no special circumstances, I’ll take you ho."
"Leaving now?"
Jing Xiaocha looked at him, puzzled.
"Didn’t you want to leave?" Wen Jin countered.
"Okay."
Jing Xiaocha hesitated for a mont before nodding in agreent.
She thought to herself that her apartnt hadn’t been lived in for days and might need so cleaning.
Going ho tonight seed a bit late, and cleaning afterward might...
But it was rare for Brother Wen to be so agreeable.
Wen Jin pulled out his phone to call Gu Kai.
Tonight, Gu Kai wasn’t working overti. At ho with his wife and kids, there were sounds of Tongtong and Zinan laughing in the background.
Jing Xiaocha leaned against the hospital bed, her eyes softly watching Wen Jin make the call, listening as he asked Gu Kai if she could be discharged.
Uncertain what Gu Kai said over the phone, Wen Jin stood up and went outside to take the call.
Jing Xiaocha lightly frowned, watching the door close.
In the hallway, Wen Jin walked a few steps ahead, listening to Gu Kai on the phone, "Ah Jin, why are you so eager to have Xiaocha discharged? Wouldn’t it be better to let her stay in the hospital longer?"
"Isn’t her arm fine now, as long as she takes care of herself? If so, staying in the hospital or at ho is the sa, why insist on the hospital."
"Is this Xiaocha’s idea, or yours?"
Gu Kai’s voice carried a teasing tone.
Wen Jin replied without hesitation, "Why are you asking so many questions? Of course, it’s Xiaocha who wants to leave the hospital. She wanted to for a few days now, and now she’s stayed extra days..."
"Got it, so it’s really you who wants Xiaocha to leave. If I’m not mistaken, after she’s discharged, you’ll have her stay at the Wen Family ho."
Gu Kai spoke as if nothing could be hidden from him.
He had a keen interest in the affairs between Wen Jin and Jing Xiaocha.
Wen Jin heard Bai Yiyi’s laughter coming from the phone, "Instead of worrying about these things, you should pay more attention to Yiyi and the kids. I won’t disturb you any longer."
"You’re not disturbing, let’s chat a bit more. You haven’t visited the hospital for a few days..."
Wen Jin didn’t let Gu Kai finish and hung up the call.
He wasn’t foolish enough to indulge in gossip about his private affairs with Gu Kai.
Putting away his phone, Wen Jin returned to the ward and told the bed-ridden Jing Xiaocha, "Ah Kai said there’s no problem, you can go ho tonight."
"Then I’ll pack my things."
Initially concerned when Wen Jin went outside to call, Jing Xiaocha was a bit worried.
Afraid she couldn’t leave.
Now, hearing Wen Jin say she could be discharged, her delicate face blossod with a radiant smile, and she lifted the covers to get out of bed and pack her clothes.
"Lean back and don’t move."
Wen Jin pushed her back.
"Brother Wen, if I pack my clothes, I won’t have to co back tomorrow."
Anyway, for discharge procedures and such, Wen Jin had surely instructed Gu Kai.
Wen Jin chuckled lightly, speaking softly, "How can you pack with one hand? I’ll help you, just rest for a bit."
With that, he turned to the balcony to collect her clothes.
"Brother Wen..."
Jing Xiaocha wanted to stop him, but was halted by a glance from Wen Jin, extinguishing her thought of getting out of bed.
She watched as Wen Jin opened the balcony door to collect her clothes.
To Jing Xiaocha’s embarrassnt, among the clothes Wen Jin collected were her undergarnts and panties.
Her luck wasn’t good, having gotten her period yesterday, so when she saw Wen Jin picking up her bras, her face flushed with heat.
She wanted to stop him, but words wouldn’t co out.
Compared to her embarrassnt in the ward, Wen Jin seed unfazed on the balcony, and after collecting the clothes, he returned to see Jing Xiaocha’s flushed face, a hint of light flickered in his eyes.
Seeing Jing Xiaocha quickly avert her gaze, he lowered his eyes to glance at the clothes in his hands.
Understanding dawned on him.
His lips subconsciously curved slightly as he placed the clothes on the bed.
Jing Xiaocha, who had just claid she’d pack the clothes herself, felt too embarrassed to help when she saw Wen Jin place them at the foot of the bed.
Thus, in her bashfulness, Wen Jin gracefully folded her clothes with skilled hands.
The temperature in the ward seed to keep rising.
Jing Xiaocha’s face grew hotter, her heart racing along with the heat in her face.
Especially when Wen Jin’s well-defined fingers picked up her panties and glanced her way, she felt her face burn.
"..."
Her lips moved slightly.
A faint smile seed to flicker in Wen Jin’s eyes, "You actually like cartoon-thed ones."
"..."
Jing Xiaocha wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Her face like a boiled shrimp, even her ears turned red.
Perhaps Wen Jin’s words were too provoking, in this situation, she unexpectedly retorted to defend herself, "Who says I can’t like cartoons?"
