After carefully helping Gu Qing sit up, Su Xiyue, without even appreciating the softness of the young man's body, quickly took out her phone and dialed Su Changqin's secretary's number.
The call was answered quickly.
"Aunt Liu, Gu Qing and I are on the steps at the bottom of Jiefang Road. Could you please send a car to pick us up now?"
Su Xiyue spoke quickly and calmly.
Just as she was about to tell Secretary Liu that Gu Qing might have twisted her ankle, Gu Qing suddenly reached out and tugged at her sleeve.
Gu Qing said in a low voice, "It's just a sprain. Don't worry Aunt Su. We have some liniment at home. Just apply it and it will be fine."
Seeing Gu Qing's resolute expression, Su Xiyue hesitated for a few seconds before speaking into the phone:
"It's nothing, it's just that there's road construction and traffic jam here. I'm a bit carsick and can't walk anymore. Thank you, Aunt Liu."
After hanging up the phone, Su Xiyue breathed a sigh of relief and then turned her gaze to Gu Qing.
Gu Qing's pain had lessened somewhat, and the expression on her face gradually relaxed.
Su Xiyue supported Gu Qing's upper body as he sat up with one hand, and took out a tissue from her pocket with the other.
"Let's wipe our sweat first!"
Gu Qing did not refuse.
After wiping the sweat from her forehead with a slightly scented tissue, Gu Qing took a few deep breaths.
At this moment, his upper body was leaning against Su Xiyue's chest.
The girl's hair brushed against his profile, but it did not evoke any sense of romance.
The pain in my ankle is still there, but it's not as intense as it was at first.
"Help me to the side of the road, cars can't get through here," Gu Qing said.
"Need not!"
Su Xiyue shook her head with unusual firmness.
Immediately, the girl's arm passed under Gu Qing's armpit.
At the same time, he inserted his other hand into the crook of Gu Qing's legs.
"Don't do that!"
Gu Qing sensed something, her face flushed, and she hurriedly tried to stop him, but it was too late.
Su Xiyue used her arms to lift Gu Qing up in her arms.
37. The girl kneeling at his feet, blowing air.
"What a fucking melodramatic plot!"
Gu Qing thought to himself helplessly as Su Xiyue picked him up in her arms.
Gu Qing had seen many similar scenarios in her previous life, such as twisting an ankle and being carried away, on television and in novels.
Generally, screenwriters and authors who lack brain cells want to advance the relationship between the male and female leads but can't find a reasonable way, so they resort to physical contact to force it forward!
If reality were a novel, then the author of this novel would definitely be a third-rate flop!
Gu Qing secretly emptied his abdomen.
After Su Xiyue carefully placed Gu Qing on the curb and waited for about ten minutes, a black luxury car pulled up.
Secretary Liu didn't come, but the driver seemed to recognize Su Xiyue and quickly ran over to open the back door.
Just as the driver was about to help Gu Qing up, Su Xiyue immediately waved her hand.
Then, Su Xiyue used the same method to put Gu Qing into the back seat again.
Gu Qing's face flushed slightly.
I wouldn't say I was shy, but being hugged like this by a little girl made me feel a bit embarrassed and ashamed.
After getting into the car, Su Xiyue carefully checked the rest of Gu Qing's body again.
They finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there were no other problems.
The driver kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, not daring to peek through the rearview mirror.
Those who drive for leaders know very well what they can hear and see, and what they cannot hear or see.
Nothing more romantic or ambiguous happened inside the car.
Gu Qing's ankle was still throbbing slightly. Although his face was expressionless, the way he gripped his clothes tightly betrayed his endurance at that moment.
Su Xiyue witnessed this scene and felt even more guilty.
After thinking for a moment, Su Xiyue said, "If it weren't for—"
"Don't say that!"
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Qing interrupted her.
Gu Qing continued, "I got carsick and got off the bus early, and I also chose to walk home. If we have to share the responsibility, it's 70% mine."
"So don't say anything. Blaming yourself is blaming me."
Gu Qing understood Su Xiyue's feelings, of course.
But it's just a sprain; a man who's lived for decades shouldn't worry about something so small.
After listening to Gu Qing's words, Su Xiyue stared at Gu Qing in a daze for a long time.
How could he be so understanding!
If it were any other young boy, a minor bump or injury would probably have been all over social media by now.
They wished everyone would immediately come to comfort and care for them.
But even while enduring the pain, Gu Qing was still thinking of her.
This kind of guy...
Su Xiyue bit her lower lip, the tiny thought in her mind being magnified infinitely.
Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of the villa.
The driver opened the car door, and Su Xiyue quickly got out and picked up Gu Qing from the other side of the car.
Gu Qing was no longer so resistant. Anyway, she had already been hugged twice today, and she had already lost face enough. So what difference would one more time make?
Under the driver's watchful gaze, the two entered the villa.
Upon entering, Su Xiyue didn't even change her shoes before carefully placing Gu Qing on the sofa.
At this moment, Gu Qing's complexion had eased slightly, and the pain was no longer so intense.
Just as Gu Qing was about to tell Su Xiyue what to do next, he heard Su Xiyue say:
"Gu Qing, wait here for me, I'll go get the ice and the first-aid kit!"
After saying that, Su Xi ran out.
It seems that Su Xiyue is quite knowledgeable about how to treat sprains.
Gu Qing felt a little relieved, and then, enduring the pain, took off her sneakers.
Just as Gu Qing was about to continue taking off her socks, the thumping sound came again.
"Gu Qing, don't move, I'll do it!"
At this moment, Su Xiyue displayed a unique feminine spirit that was unique to this world.
She rushed to Gu Qing and knelt down on the floor.
After putting down what he was holding, he quickly and carefully cupped Gu Qing's right foot with his free hands.
The little feet, clad in white socks, were presented in Su Xiyue's hands, as if they were being held as precious treasures.
A look of hesitation flashed across Gu Qing's face. After pursing her lips, she said:
"I'll do it myself. It's been covered up all day and it smells awful!"
"It doesn't smell bad!"
Su Xiyue shook her head vigorously; she had the absolute right to speak on this matter!
After saying that, Su Xiyue grasped Gu Qing's ankle with one hand, the boy's fair skin touching her palm.
Immediately afterwards, Su Xiyue carefully hooked the edge of her white socks with her other hand and slowly pulled them down, gradually exposing her fair little feet to the air.
Seemingly afraid of hurting Gu Qing, Su Xiyue moved extremely slowly.
It was as if he was slowly opening a box containing rare treasures, his eyes filled with such seriousness and focus.
Gu Qing watched Su Xiyue's movements and unconsciously clenched his fists tightly.
For some reason, he always had a strange feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on.
