Xiao Qi stopped in his tracks and looked back at Chu Beiying after hearing her shout.

“Miss, your ankle is severely swollen. Let me buy you some medicine to help with the pain before we head to the hospital,” Xiao Qi said as he stared at her swollen foot, which resembled a pig’s trotter.

He thought that maybe he could find a way to relieve her pain temporarily, so it would be better to go to the hospital later.

“No need, just take me directly to the hospital.” Chu Beiying glanced at her own foot and figured that the joint had just been dislocated when she fell; all she needed was for a doctor to reset it.

But it hurt too much, and she couldn’t bring herself to reset it, so she had to go to the hospital.

Seeing her persistence, Xiao Qi nodded in agreement.

“I’ll help you walk.” Although Xiao Qi had studied design abroad, he wasn’t quite used to being too intimately close with women.

Apart from his cousin An Hao, he still maintained a certain distance with other women.

“Just carry me on your back, or if that’s not possible, help me find a car.” Chu Beiying really didn’t want to walk.

Both of her knees hurt, and she was just bearing the pain. Walking would only worsen her injuries, which would do her no good.

She wasn’t that foolish to treat this like a joke.

However, she couldn’t believe this man was so picky and actually wanted her to walk to the hospital.

How could Chu Beiying possibly agree to that? She knew it was impossible.

If he didn’t want to carry her, then he could just find a car. She wasn’t insisting on being carried by him.

Xiao Qi looked around and wondered where to find a car in this area. There were no vehicles around, so how was he supposed to find one?

He had just come to G Province on business, and now he had to deal with this situation.

Left with no choice, Xiao Qi squatted down in front of Chu Beiying.

“Get on,” he said. Xiao Qi couldn’t just leave her behind like an ungentlemanly person would.

After all, he had knocked her down, even if it was unintentional; it was still his fault.

So, he had to compromise. If the girl didn’t mind, then why should he, a grown man, care?

Chu Beiying looked at the broad back in front of her, grabbed his shoulders, and slowly leaned against him.

Feeling the warmth from his shoulders, her face flushed red with embarrassment. Although she was usually bold and carefree,

and interacted with boys, she had never been this intimately close with one before.

Xiao Qi also felt slightly uncomfortable due to the soft touch on his back.

At this moment, he realized that he had never felt this way with An Hao, whom he had grown up with. To him, she was just a sister.

Now he understood that being close to other women felt different.

Xiao Qi carried Chu Beiying on his back as they searched for a hospital. He was not familiar with the place since he was there on business, so he had to ask for directions along the way.

Chu Beiying felt that her ability to accept everything that had happened that day had reached its limit, so she relaxed her mind on the warm back and eventually fell asleep.

When Xiao Qi found a doctor’s office at the hospital with Chu Beiying still on his back, he realized something was off.

All the way, he had only been focused on asking for directions and didn’t notice anything else. Since he and Chu Beiying were unfamiliar with each other, they had no desire to converse, which led to her falling asleep on his back without him realizing.

“Doctor, she’s asleep,” said Xiao Qi, looking helplessly at Chu Beiying, who was resting soundly on his shoulder.

He wondered how carefree this woman could be, as she was able to fall asleep on the back of a stranger like him. Wasn’t she afraid he might be a bad person who would harm her?

Seeing her sleeping face, she had no wariness against him at all. Xiao Qi didn’t know whether to be happy or sad about this.
