“Hello, nice to meet you.” Chu Beiying extended her right hand and said.

Xiao Qi looked at the pale and delicate hand in front of him, and after thinking for a moment, he extended his right hand and shook hers.

What kind of background does this woman have to suddenly change and use such formal etiquette?

“Can I be discharged from the hospital now? I want to go out and find something to eat. I’m starving,” Chu Beiying said, eager to fill her stomach.

“Hold on, let me check with the doctor.” Xiao Qi wasn’t sure if she could be discharged.

...
“Okay.” Chu Beiying nodded.

Once Xiao Qi left, Chu Beiying looked around the hospital room, bored.

It was so different from the place she worked.

“What are you thinking about? Let’s go.” After inquiring with the doctor, Xiao Qi had completed her discharge procedures.

He returned to the room to find Chu Beiying daydreaming.

When Chu Beiying heard the sound of his voice, she turned to look at him.

She had been thinking and hadn’t heard what Xiao Qi had just said, so she just stared at him silently without speaking.

“What are you looking at? Didn’t you say you want to be discharged? Won’t you leave?” Xiao Qi asked three questions in a row to cover up his uneasiness.

Did this woman think it was all right to stare at him so intensely? Did she not feel awkward?

If Chu Beiying knew what he was thinking, she would tell him: You’re overthinking it. I’ve seen so many naked people; what’s so embarrassing about looking at you this way?

“Let’s go.” Chu Beiying returned to her usual calm expression.

This time, Xiao Qi finally agreed with the saying that women’s faces change quickly.

“Xiao Qi, thank you so much for today. You can go back now; I’ve got something to do,” Chu Beiying asked him to leave.

“It’s late, and you’re a girl. It’s not safe. Let me accompany you,” Xiao Qi said, considering the late-night dangers for a girl.

“No need. I’ve bothered you enough today as it is,” Chu Beiying couldn’t drag a man around looking for food in the middle of the night.

“You said you’ve bothered me enough, so what’s one more thing?” Xiao Qi was surprised. When did he become so meddlesome?

Chu Beiying listened, silently watching him before eventually nodding in agreement.

“Do you know where to find food nearby?” Chu Beiying was so hungry she felt dizzy.

“There should be late-night snacks in the hotel,” Xiao Qi understood what Chu Beiying meant now.

So, just now, she wanted him to go back, so she could find food alone.

But it made sense, since neither of them had eaten since the afternoon, they were both starving.

“Then let’s go back to the hotel,” Chu Beiying walked with a limp.

“Let me carry you instead so you won’t get your foot injured again,” Xiao Qi proposed as he crouched down in front of her after taking a few steps.

“You don’t have to be so kind to a stranger like me,” Chu Beiying didn’t immediately lean on his back.

“Isn’t your injury my fault?” Xiao Qi understood her implication.

“Fine, I get it,” Chu Beiying understood his meaning, so she wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned on his back.

“Can I ask you a question?” Xiao Qi asked after a moment of silence.

“What question?” Chu Beiying rested her head on his shoulder and asked in a muffled voice.

“Why are you here alone as a girl, and why don’t you go home?” Xiao Qi wasn’t one to meddle in others’ affairs, but he couldn’t help worrying about Chu Beiying being by herself. He felt she seemed particularly vulnerable and helpless.

“Home? I want to go back, but where is the way?” Chu Beiying also wanted to go home, but how could she? She didn’t even know how she got here in the first place, so how could she know where the way was?
