When the doctor came to check on her, Wen Li asked Huo Yuanchen to ask for her and she could take a shower.

She had been lying in bed for the past few days and her body was almost rotten. She felt embarrassed when she thought about staying in the same room with Huo Yuanchen every day.

She still cares a lot about her image. After all, she has been beautiful since she was a child, and she has some baggage on her shoulders.

Huo Yuanchen was quite positive about taking a bath. He said to her, "Wait a moment," and went to the bathroom.

Wen Li thought he was going to help her prepare bathing supplies, so she waited patiently. Unexpectedly, ten minutes later, he came out with a large basin full of hot water.

"Lie down, I'll wash you."

Wen Li was too embarrassed to do that, so he waved his hand and refused, "I'll do it myself."

"If you do it yourself, your wound will get infected and all your efforts will be wasted?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a righteous look .

Wen Li saw her hospital bill yesterday. She was dumbfounded by the zeros at the end. Adding the exchange rate, her hospitalization cost almost another 100,000 yuan. Moreover, she did not have medical insurance in Country L, so she had to bear the full cost. The thought of it made her feel painful.

"Forget it, I won't take a shower." She didn't want to add tens of thousands of dollars of debt to herself just by taking a shower. It wasn't worth it.

"It's already smelly." Huo Yuanchen glanced at her and said.

Before she noticed whether there was disgust in his eyes, he had already put the hot towel on her face and said in a light tone, "You are a girl, so you'd better be clean. Besides, didn't you wipe me like this when I was recovering from my injury? What's there to be embarrassed about?"

Wen Li looked at him for a while and said nothing.

But his expression seemed to be hesitant to speak.

He sneered and asked her, "Just say whatever you want to say. You are not the type to tolerate it."

Wen Li said sullenly, "I thought you would say something like, there is something about me that you haven't seen before."

Huo Yuanchen unbuttoned her collar, put the towel on her chest, and said, "That's right. When it comes to our bodies, there's no need for us to be reserved."

The tone of the words was so natural that Wen Li felt as if they were already an old married couple.

However, although he said so, when the towel reached below his chest, his hand still pinched the soft flesh in an unruly manner.

Wen Li glared at him angrily, but he ignored her and asked her, "It seems a little smaller?"

Wen Li couldn't help it, so he threw a pillow at him and said, "You've become thinner because of hunger."

He caught the pillow and nodded in agreement, "Then we need to take good care of it."

When I was halfway through wiping, there was a knock on the ward door.

Wen Li was startled and hid under the quilt, not daring to move. She signaled Huo Yuanchen with her eyes not to open the door.

But he stood up, tucked the quilt in for her, and said, "If you don't open the door, people will think that I am doing something shameful with you in the ward."

Having said that, he went to open the door.

Wen Li didn't expect that it would be Yu Jingchen who came in. He was holding a bouquet of flowers and some nutritional supplements. He said as soon as he entered the door, "Zhou Ying heard that Wen Li was in the hospital. She was worried, but she couldn't come because she lived far away, so she asked me to come and see her for her."

He noticed that Huo Yuanchen looked at him unfriendly, and recalled the last time they were in the room, Huo Yuanchen asked him in a sarcastic tone if he was interested in Wen Li. He didn't want anyone to misunderstand him, so he explained it clearly first.

Wen Li nodded politely to him and said, "Sorry to bother you. You are here on a business trip, and I am sorry to have caused you trouble because of me."

Before Yu Jingchen could say anything, Huo Yuanchen had already taken the things in his hand and said in a very calm tone, "She needs to recover after the operation, so it is not convenient for her to see guests. Cross-infection will be very troublesome."

This is almost the meaning of an order to expel someone.

Yu Jingchen didn't even dare to sit down, and said hurriedly, "I was asked by someone to do this. Since Wen Li is fine, I'll leave first."

Wen Li felt that it was not a good way to treat guests by sending them away just after they arrived, so he said, "Professor Yu, don't listen to him. I have recovered well and I am not that squeamish."

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Yuanchen glared at him, "You even asked me to translate what the doctor said. Do you know the situation better than me?"

Wen Li pursed his lips and said nothing.

She felt that Huo Yuanchen's attitude towards his colleagues was problematic, but he was not wrong. The person living in her hospital was like a deaf -mute , and she had to ask him to translate for everything she said .

Yu Jingchen also said, "I have something else to do. Lao Liu asked me to compile the situation of my inspection of L Country's universities in the past few days into a written document. I have to work overtime when I return to the hotel later, so I really can't stay for long, so I'll leave first."

Wen Li then walked up the stairs and said, "Be careful on the road, Professor Yu. Thank you for coming to see me."

Huo Yuanchen had already walked to the door and said, "I'll take you there."

At the hospital gate, when Yu Jingchen was about to say goodbye, Huo Yuanchen waved and called the flower girl selling flowers on the roadside.

Seeing that he had an oriental face, the flower girl asked him in English, "Would you like to buy some flowers, sir?"

Huo Yuanchen nodded and asked in English, "For my girlfriend."

Yu Jingchen glanced at him and felt that he had emphasized the words he had just spoken, as if he was emphasizing something.

Later, when he took a taxi to leave, Huo Yuanchen waved at him, holding up a large bouquet of bright red roses, the colors of the flowers were very eye-catching.

When Huo Yuanchen returned to the ward, he held flowers in one hand and a crystal vase in the other.

Wen Li asked casually, "Where did the flowers come from?"

Huo Yuanchen put a bunch of roses into the vase and said calmly, "I bought it."

Wen Li then said, "Didn't Professor Yu give me flowers? What are you buying now?"

He glared at her, and said in a calm tone, "Are you proud of seeing other men giving you flowers every day?"

Wen Li felt that his temper was too erratic. He was so nice just now, but suddenly he was angry. She was not convinced and said, "At least Professor Yu sent me flowers, unlike someone else."

Huo Yuanchen placed the vase at the head of her bed and said, "If you want it, just tell me. If you like flowers, I'll send them to you every day. I don't need this little money."

Wen Li didn't believe what he said. To be more precise, she didn't believe that he could be so patient with her. She deliberately said, "Then you can give it to me. I like flowers very much."

He said "hmm", but I didn't know whether it counted as an agreement or not.

The bath water had already cooled down, so Huo Yuanchen filled another basin and wiped Wen Li's body while saying to her, "You still want Yu Jingchen to stay here, aren't you afraid that he will see you?"

Wen Li thought, you can't just drive someone away when they just arrived. She tried to reason with Huo Yuanchen and said, "Zhou Ying asked Professor Yu to come and see me. At least, I have to explain my situation to him clearly so that he can reply to Zhou Ying."

Huo Yuanchen said disapprovingly, "Zhou Ying is worried about you, isn't it more convenient to ask me?"

It’s not like I don’t have his contact information.

Wen Li pointed out bluntly, "Who told you to be so cold all day? People are afraid of you and don't dare to talk to you."

Huo Yuanchen glanced at her and raised his eyebrows, "Others are afraid of me, why aren't you afraid?"

Wen Li wanted to say, she had no other choice.

But before he could finish his words, his expression changed.

There was something wrong with Huo Yuanchen's hand under the quilt.
