Chapter 88 You Are My Person
As soon as she passed the gate of the advertising company, Ning Qing felt that some staff members were curious. Subconsciously, she buried her head in Du Hua's arms, making a camel-like shape, trying to avoid other people's sight. But as soon as she got close to Du Hua's chest, she heard his very strong "thumping" heartbeat, and the man's aura instantly surrounded her. Her heart panicked, and she wanted to move her head away. Du Hua thought she was going to struggle down again, so he hugged her even tighter, saying in a low voice: "Don't move!"
You're holding me so tightly, I don't think I can move! Ning Qingming buried her head in Du Huajia's chest, her face red and her heart racing. She really didn't dare to move again. In her heart, she hoped they would arrive at the parking lot quickly, but also hoped it wouldn't be too soon. It was a complete contradiction - she hoped Du Huajia wouldn't hold her in public for this entire journey, yet also hoped he would hold her for a little while longer.
Suddenly, a burst of music sounded, and a sultry female voice sang: Hold me tight! Hold me tight! I want to shed ten thousand happy tears, making you forget all the beauty in the world! Ning Qingming was startled, feeling a chill on his arm, with water droplets splashing onto his arm. He poked his head out to take a look and saw that Du Hujia was holding him as they passed by a fountain outside an advertising company, where dozens of nozzles were spraying water high into the air, creating clusters of water flowers. Along with the music, the water flowers rose and fell, just like his emotions.
"I heard that the fountain has been broken for a long time, how did it suddenly start working today?" Du Huajia muttered to himself as he quickly walked towards the car and put Ning Qingmian inside. After getting in himself, he saw that Ning Qingmian had already fastened her seatbelt and there was a tiny water droplet on her arm from the fountain. He reached out his hand to help Ning Qingmian wipe it off.
Ning Qingmian had originally intended to wipe away the water droplet herself, but as Du Huajia's hand touched hers, she felt a sudden spark of electricity and wanted to pull her hand back. However, Du Huajia turned his hand over and grasped Ning Qingmian's hand instead. With his other hand, he gently flicked away the water droplet from Ning Qingmian's hair.
Ning Qingmian lowered her head, not daring to look at Du Huajia, wanting to pull her hand back but also not wanting to let go. Her small hand trembled slightly in Du Huajia's palm. Du Huajia tightened his grip on Ning Qingmian's hand, and she felt both dazed and sweetly flustered, unsure of what to do.
Just then, Du Huajia's phone rang.
"You have a call!" Ning Qing reminded Du Huajia, who wasn't answering the phone, and gently freed her hand. Du Huajia let go of her hand and answered the cell phone.
"Oh, it's a woman with the surname Fang who reported this." Du Huajun said calmly into the phone: "Tell the people at the TV station that Xiao Ning is my person. If anyone harasses her again, I'll take care of it."
What do you mean by "my person"? Ning Qing said over the phone, both sweet and melancholic. You've never told me anything or asked for my opinion, yet you publicly declared that I'm your person. Isn't this a bit too domineering?
Du Huajia was on the phone, turned around and said to Ning Qingmian: "It's a woman with the surname Fang who hired someone to follow you and report to the TV station, that's why those reporters came so quickly."
"What's your surname?" Ning Qing suddenly realized and gritted her teeth, saying: "One is Fang Zhi. This woman just can't bear to see me and mom living well."
Ning Qing briefly mentioned her relationship with Fang Zhi, and Du Hu's family said while driving: "I've already had someone warn her, so she shouldn't dare to cause trouble in the short term, don't worry!"
This person has gone mad. If I don't teach her a lesson, I won't be able to let it go! Ning Qingmin gritted his teeth and secretly decided that if Zhi dared to offend him again, he would not forgive her. He and his mother had retreated again and again, but were still being bullied.
"My grandmother and mother. It's not easy to live a good life now. I don't want Fangqi to ruin our good mood." Ning Qingmin crossed her arms, pursed her lips and said: "If she continues to stir up trouble for no reason, I won't tolerate it anymore."
Du Huajia nodded and said: "She dares to move our local people? She's tired of living!"
"Cough...cough..." Ning Qingmin saw Du Hua say this in front of her, as if she was really his girlfriend. Wanting to say something, but suddenly couldn't find the words. Unconsciously started coughing.
"How is it? Is your throat uncomfortable?" Du Hua asked gently, slowing down the car. "There's mineral water in the car. I'll get you a drink!"
"No need. I'm not thirsty!" Ning Qing said in a low voice: "The air conditioner in your car is just a bit cold."
"Oh!" Du Hu's family quickly adjusted the air conditioner.
When they arrived at the hospital entrance, Du's family got out of the car first and went around to help Ning Qingwen down. It was only then that Ning Qingwen realized she wasn't wearing shoes on her feet and had also forgotten to bring her own shoes along. Was she supposed to walk into the hospital barefoot?
"Are there slippers in your car?" Ning Qing's face turned red as she slightly avoided Du Hujia's outstretched hand, fearing he would use the same trick again and carry her into the hospital under everyone's watchful eyes.
"Even with slippers, you can't walk like that!" Du Huajia said calmly, "Otherwise, I'll have the hospital staff bring out a stretcher and carry you in?"
"No, no." Ning Qingmin was getting a bit anxious. "Those are for patients with severe illnesses, I just have swollen feet, this is too exaggerated."
"Either this way, or I'll carry you in."
Du Huajia saw Ning Qing's face turn bright red with a hint of smile and said, "Anyway, it's not the first time we've hugged, should be used to it by now?"
"I've walked barefoot!" Ning Qing tried moving her feet and said in a low voice, "I should be able to move around now. It doesn't seem as painful as it was earlier."
"What size shoes do you wear?" Du Huajia saw Ning Qing's shyness and couldn't help but smile, saying: "Where is the nearest supermarket? I'll go with you to buy a pair of shoes."
Ning Qingmin was about to say that he usually wears size 36 shoes, but looking at his swollen feet, he feared that even size 38 might not fit. He muttered: "My feet are so swollen, I don't know what size would be good. Can you help me buy a pair of larger slippers?"
"I'll help you measure it!" Du Huajia said, lowering his head, stretching out his thumb and index finger, measuring against Ning Qing's heel, "Oh, a shoe that is roughly one finger length longer than my two fingers should be fine."
When Du Hua's figure entered the convenience store, Ning Qing still couldn't bear to move her eyes away. Alas, he was right in front of her, but she didn't dare look at him. She had to wait until he walked far away before she could boldly take a peek. It seemed that living a few more years than others was useless; whenever it came to emotional matters, she became like an innocent little girl who had never experienced the world. Just as she was lost in thought, she saw Du Hua coming out of the convenience store and quickly moved her eyes away, pretending to look at her own feet.
"Try it on to see if it fits, and we can exchange it if it doesn't." Du Huajia put a pair of casual flat shoes on Ning Qing's feet and smiled: "Just right, I guess my eyes are still accurate."
When was your eyesight ever inaccurate? Ning Qing whispered to herself, supporting Du Huajia's shoulder and trying to tread lightly on the ground. Indeed, she could walk by herself, so she carefully entered the hospital gate.
The doctor examined and prescribed medicine to dispel swelling and stasis, instructing me to apply the medicine and rest well for the next few days without moving around.
