Bai Xi looked up and said lightly, "To bandage your wound."
As she spoke, she gently turned Han Mo's hand in a different direction, so his wrist faced her.
On his wrist, it was smooth and flawless, without any trace of scars.
Bai Xi: "..."
Had something gone wrong with her brain to associate the Han Mo in front of her with the person who had saved her back then? Clearly, apart from both of them knowing medicine, the feeling they gave off was almost worlds apart.
Moreover, she had seen Han Mo's file. Although Han Mo had good achievements in medicine, he was just an ordinary person. As for that person... he was definitely not an ordinary person.
Seeing this, Han Mo's eyes darkened slightly, but this process was very quick, and it soon disappeared.
He twisted his arm, as if struggling gently, lowered his eyes slightly, his long eyelashes drooping, as if a shy boy afraid to look into the other person's eyes: "I'll find a nurse to bandage this minor injury later, no need to trouble Miss."
Bai Xi frowned: "Don't move."
As soon as she spoke, Han Mo really stopped moving, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, quietly waiting for what was to come.
Bai Xi could not see his eyes, only the light reflecting on the lenses: "You are quite obedient."
This man always gave her a very special feeling, she couldn't quite describe what it was. If she had to use two adjectives, it would probably be kind and clean.
Bai Xi placed her bloody right hand in front of herself, carefully picked up the tweezers, and plucked out the pieces of glass still embedded in the flesh, then poured some disinfectant, and finally bandaged it.
Han Mo's voice was not loud: "I didn't expect Miss to know how to bandage."
Bai Xi raised her eyebrows: "If I said 'frequent illness makes a good doctor,' would you believe me?"
In the dark department, getting injured on a mission was a very normal thing. Whether it was bandaging oneself or bandaging a companion on the same mission, it was something they often had to do.
However, for other medical treatments, she was not capable.
At least for her brother's illness, she had no solution.
Thinking of this, Bai Xi reached for Han Mo's back again, wanting to check if there was anything unusual about the place where the cup had hit him.
The moment Bai Xi's hand changed direction, Han Mo immediately took a big step back, avoiding her hand.
Bai Xi raised her eyebrows: "... I just wanted to see if your back was injured. Don't worry, whether you protected my brother today or not, I will give you the due compensation."
Clearly, she had no evil intentions, but being dodged by Han Mo like this, it inexplicably gave people the illusion of a bully trying to take the opportunity to tease a good girl.
Han Mo did not answer, but looked up at Bai Xi slightly, then lowered his head again: "Miss, are you willing to try what I said just now?"
Seeing that he deliberately changed the subject, Bai Xi knew that he did not want to continue this topic.
She had traveled all over the country and crossed mountains and seas over the years, and she had truly never met a man so pure!
That's right, the man in front of her was clearly past his youth, but he had an undeniable youthful spirit. This kind of temperament... was indeed rare.
She sighed softly: "Let the professionals do the professional things. Since I chose to entrust my brother to Doctor Han, I will naturally cooperate fully with Doctor Han's treatment methods."
Han Mo calmly withdrew his hand: "Thank you for your trust, Miss. Since your brother is here today, you can bring some things that your brother likes to the hospital to see him tomorrow. Do not mention your identity, nor the Bai family, to avoid further stimulating him..."
After hearing Han Mo's medical advice, Bai Xi left the hospital.
The night was deep, and Shen Cheng's car reappeared at the hospital entrance.
Bai Xi looked at the black Bentley: "How did Lawyer Shen know I was here?"
Shen Cheng took out his phone, on which was a message from Tong Yao: "Xi'er went to the hospital, giving you a chance to send her to the hotel."
Bai Xi: "..."
Tong Xiao Xiao was really not giving up.
Shen Cheng smiled: "Whether as a lawyer or as a man, I think if you dare to seize an opportunity, you shouldn't let it go."
Bai Xi smiled: "Opportunities should indeed not be let go, but Lawyer Shen still needs to distinguish between what is an opportunity and what is a waste of time."
Shen Cheng shook his head: "How will you know if it's a waste of time if you don't try? As a friend, can you give me a chance to send you back to the hotel?"
Bai Xi raised her eyebrows: "As a friend, yes, but don't think about anything else. Does Lawyer Shen still want to send me?"
This refusal was already very obvious. Shen Cheng was a little disappointed: "Does Miss Bai think I am such a man without manners?"
Saying this, he opened the car door very gentlemanly and made an inviting gesture.
Bai Xi smiled faintly, sat in the back seat, and left the hospital with Shen Cheng.
On the sixteenth floor of the hospital, Han Mo stood by the window, watching the black Bentley disappear into the distance. His hands slowly clenched, and the wound cracked open again, blood seeping through the gauze, staining it red.
Bai Xi returned to the hotel, took a hot shower, and went to bed.
The next morning, a earth-shattering, soul-stirring knocking sound came from outside her hotel room: "Xi'er, Xi'er, wake up, wake up..."
Bai Xi rubbed her eyes sleepily and pressed her temples helplessly: "..."
It was her fault. She had given Tong Yao the opportunity to approach her room, but forgot to give her a room card.
After breakfast at Houston Grand Hotel, the two went to the housing design company introduced by Tong Yao. This company was not small in scale and was considered one of the best in M City.
The receptionist saw Tong Yao and Bai Xi walk in and enthusiastically went to greet them: "Are the two ladies here to order furniture or do you need a full house design?"
Tong Yao got straight to the point: "We are looking for your Design Director, Li Li. I called yesterday to make an appointment."
As soon as she said this, the receptionist's expression became a little troubled, but she quickly changed to a friendly smile: "Are you Miss Tong? The director said you would be coming today. We have prepared black tea and pastries for you. Would you like to rest for a while?"
Tong Yao was slightly taken aback: "Director Li is not here yet?"
Li Li was the design director of this company. She was a good person, her designs were excellent, and she was particularly meticulous and reliable. This was why she had recommended her to Bai Xi.
Under normal circumstances, with an appointment with her, she would come to the company early. Why was she late today?
The receptionist hesitated to speak.
Seeing the receptionist's expression, Tong Yao immediately became displeased: "Just say whatever you have to say. I'm not unreasonable."
The receptionist could only speak directly: "Someone came to find Director Li for interior design early this morning. Director Li said she already had an appointment with another customer. That person then called the boss, and the boss forced Director Li to take care of this guest first. We are all just employees of the company, so please don't make things difficult for us, Miss Tong."
As soon as she said this, Tong Yao exploded: "Using status to pressure people! I'd like to see who this guest is who's so arrogant!"
As soon as her voice fell, she heard a familiar voice from the second floor: "Sister Xi'er."
Bai Xi looked up and saw three people standing on the raised platform. She recognized two of them.
Bai Lian, Zhou Wen, and another one...
The middle-aged woman wearing black-rimmed glasses and professional attire apologized: "Miss Tong."
It seemed that this person was the legendary Director Li, and Bai Lian and Zhou Wen were the arrogant guests who had forcibly snatched Tong Yao's appointed designer.
