Chapter 93

  Li Jin slept until the second day when the sun was high in the sky and only woke up when the daylight was shining brightly.

  When he woke up, the curtains were still closed, but a faint light seeped through. He pursed his dry lips, his throat itchy, and couldn't help but cough several times.

  Someone next to him immediately became anxious, offering him water to drink. Seeing that he was lying down uncomfortably, they even reached out to support him. Lei Jin took the person's hand and drank half a cup of water, and his parched throat finally felt like a drought-stricken field after a refreshing rain, becoming moist again.

  That person let out a soft sigh, and for some reason, got up to put the cup aside. But Li Jin was even quicker, grabbing his hand in one swift motion.

  Li Yiheng.

  "What's wrong?" Li Yi Heng looked down at Li Jin, who had been through a series of misfortunes and had slept for a long time. His face was pale to the extreme, without even half a hint of blood color. As soon as he thought of how Li Jin looked yesterday, covered in blood and wounds, his heart ached. His voice softened unconsciously, coaxing like one would with a child: "Where does it hurt?"

  Unfortunately, he rarely coaxes children and turns a gentle performance into a wolfish grandma, making Li Jin laugh loudly: "It hurts everywhere, listening to you talk like that, even my ears hurt."

  Li Yiheng imagined himself just now and couldn't help but laugh out loud, explaining: "When you care too much, things get messy."

  He got up on one side and put the cup back on the table.

  Lí Jǐn lay back on the bed, turning his head to watch Lǐ Yì Héng's movements. However, in his heart, he couldn't help but recall that sentence "concern leads to chaos". He felt that each word was like a small hand that had suddenly appeared, scratching at his heart. This feeling was unprecedented, or perhaps it had happened before, but Lí Jǐn had forgotten. Now, as he experienced it again, it felt both comfortable and awkward.

  He swallowed his saliva and looked around at the decorations to shift his attention: "Is this the Li residence? Your room?"

  Li Yiheng responded with a sound, walked to the window, and pulled open the thick curtains. Behind the curtains, dazzling golden sunlight poured into the room, Li Jin looked up at the warm sun, and inexplicably thought of the day she encountered danger, when the car door opened, the outside sunlight was also so warm.

  "How long did I sleep?" he asked.

  "Almost one day."

  Li Yi Heng sat down on the edge of the bed, adjusted his quilt corner, and detailed his injury. The other Li Jin didn't care, but when he mentioned that his ankle was dislocated, Li Jin's eyes blinked, asking: "There are still three days until the Star Voice Annual Finals, can I..."

  "It can't be done." Li Yi Heng shook his head. "The doctor said that I need to rest for at least a week, and I've already called Qin Yige to take leave."

  Li Jin anxiously said: "This isn't a matter of whether it's true or false, I've put so much heart and soul into this competition, how can it end like this..."

  But however, he couldn't say it either.

  Can't walk, just can't walk, it's not like someone will be arranged to take care of you specially, and you sit in a wheelchair directing the rivers and mountains.

  Looking at Li Jin's distress, Li Yi Heng felt a pang of sympathy in his heart. He reached out to brush away the hair on Li Jin's forehead and said softly, "The doctor says that if you cooperate with him, he can help you. His father used to run a clinic in Guangdong when he was young and had a lot of experience treating injuries from falls. As long as you cooperate with him and rest for three days, he guarantees that you'll be able to appear on the Star Voice stage for the finals."

  "Really?" Li Jin was delighted, "Thank you! I'll definitely cooperate!"

  Li Yi Heng smiled lightly and shook his head, saying in a low voice: "You don't have to thank me, after all this matter... was caused by me."

  Li Jin did not understand and asked: "What does it mean?"

  "The one who sabotaged your brakes and the one who kidnapped you are two different groups of people." Li Yiheng replied, "The one who kidnapped you is naturally He Yuesong. But the one who secretly sabotaged your brakes is someone else. Lei Jin, do you remember that time when the market department set a trap in the contract, almost making the performers go to the show for nothing, and indirectly causing you to be tortured by Shu Mu into the hospital?"

  That experience left a deep impression on him. Li Jin immediately said, "I remember." As soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized, "Is it them?"

  "It's true, at that time you were hospitalized and unconscious, I took care of this matter for you. I fired the deputy manager of the marketing department, and afterwards, I used some means to make them unable to mix in the circle again, so they wouldn't bother you again someday. But unexpectedly, they put all the blame on you." Li Yiheng sighed, "The brakes were tampered with by someone they hired, the goal was either death or disability, not letting you have a good life in your second half."

  "Where are they?" asked Li Jin.

  "I've taken care of it," said Li Yiheng.

  Li Yiheng and He Shi's two young masters were different. Those two young masters' "disposal" was to send someone to see King Yan, while Mr. Li's "disposal" was only to ensure that the person would never appear in front of him again in this life.

  Moreover, he had murderous intentions, and receiving some punishment is not excessive.

  Li Yiheng looked at his gloomy expression, thinking he didn't like the way he handled things, just about to speak up to comfort him a few words, but that person suddenly seemed to come back to his senses, and smiled.

  "That is to say, the one who tampered with the brakes and wanted me dead was not He Ershao, but rather the ones who tied me up afterwards were He Yuesong's people. Then, since he wanted me dead, why didn't he just make sure the car accident was thorough from the start, or even better, finish me off while I was still in the crash? Why did he go to so much trouble to bring me away? Could it be... could it be..." Li Jin couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, "Is he an idiot?"

  Li Yiheng just smiled and didn't speak, thinking to himself, right, this second young master of the He family is really a useless person.

  "It's none of your business that I was in a car accident and got tied up." Li Jin's right hand stretched out from under the quilt, and his warm fingers gently grasped Li Yi Heng's palm, lightly scratching it twice: "I still want to... thank Mr. Li for saving my life."

  If he hadn't arrived in time, what awaited Li Jin next was far from certain.

  Li Yiheng grasped his hand tightly with a deep and passionate gaze, as if there were many words in it that couldn't be spoken.

  Li Jin's heart slightly stirred, something flashed through his mind at an extremely fast speed, and he couldn't grasp it. He simply stopped thinking about it, turned his head, and stared unwaveringly at Li Yi Heng, asking: "This time, you've completely fallen out with the He family, right?"

  "It wouldn't have lasted for a few more days anyway, it's good that it happened early." Li Yi Heng paused here and decided to temporarily keep Jiang Jing's matter under wraps, saying "This time is just an opportunity, it has nothing to do with you, only..."

  Li Jin raised an eyebrow.

  Li Yiheng relaxed his hands and leaned down. The familiar scent of men's cologne slowly approached, Li Yiheng's elbows rested on the sides of Li Jin's ears, that action was almost as if he wanted to kiss him.

  Li Jin's breathing was slightly stifled, and for a moment she didn't dare move.

  "It's just that you'll call me for help, rather than someone else, which makes me... happy." Li Yi Heng smiled and lowered his head, lightly pecking at the tip of his nose.

  Li Jin felt like a shrimp that had been placed in a high-temperature steamer on Baidu, and his whole body turned red instantly.

  "You... you're happy... what..." Li Jin felt that he should ease the awkwardness, but unfortunately his voice trembled and his mind went blank, stuttering and even biting his tongue.

  "What makes me happy?"

  Li Yiheng retorted with a sentence, and then used a simple and direct kiss to stop the other person's nonsense.
