Chapter 207 Two Women Visiting the Injured, One Night of Absurdity
Doorbell rang.
Li Yichen was lounging in a rocking chair in the backyard, basking in the sun, his eyes half-closed, a bandage still covering his ribs. His watch vibrated, and Ling'er's notification popped up: "Brother, there are two visitors at the door. It's Liu Xiaoyu and Xiao Yuqing."
He stood up, using the handrail for support, and walked to the front door.
The moment the door opened, two girls stood side by side on the steps. One was carrying two large bags of nutritional supplements, and the other was holding a box of imported fruit; it looked like they were moving house.
Li Yichen raised an eyebrow at Liu Xiaoyu.
"Xiaoyu, aren't you going to work today?"
Liu Xiaoyu put the bag down in the entryway, changed into slippers, and went inside. "I've already asked Sister Xue for leave."
Li Yichen then looked at Xiao Yuqing. "What about you, Yuqing? Don't you need to watch the shop?"
Xiao Yuqing placed the fruit she was carrying in the entryway and clapped her hands casually. "Don't worry, Xiao Li, I've left everything at the shop to the manager. I just happened to be free today, so I came to see you."
The two people entered the living room and almost simultaneously focused their attention on the white bandage exposed on his chest.
Liu Xiaoyu's nose twitched. Xiao Yuqing bit her lower lip.
Seeing this, Li Yichen quickly stood up straight, stretched his arms a few times, and twisted his waist.
"It's really okay now, look, he can move."
Indeed. The recovery ability of the gene-optimized serum far exceeds that of ordinary people. After only two days, the tightness in my ribs has been greatly reduced, and there is no longer a dull pain of bone scuffing when I take a deep breath.
The two women then breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Liu Xiaoyu walked behind him and gently pressed her fingers against the area near his ribs through his T-shirt. "Does it hurt here?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"And here?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"That's a lie."
"It really doesn't hurt anymore, I'm not made of paper."
Xiao Yuqing, watching from the side, reached out and poked him on the other side. "What if I poke you?"
"...Stop poking him, okay? Are you two ganging up on the injured person?"
The three of them joked around for a while, then finally settled down on the living room sofa. The two women insisted on staying to keep him company.
Liu Xiaoyu took over the coffee table, peeling an apple with lightning speed, leaving a single, unbroken strip of skin. Xiao Yuqing rolled up her sleeves and stormed into the kitchen, declaring she was going to make him a fish maw and chicken soup.
Three minutes later, Zhou Dahai gently but firmly asked her to come out.
"Miss Xiao, I can handle this. You can rest."
Xiao Yuqing sat back down on the sofa, feeling wronged: "Uncle Zhou won't let me touch his pot."
Li Yichen took the apple Liu Xiaoyu handed him and took a bite. "His pot is more valuable than my life, that's normal."
Miao ran downstairs and saw the two beautiful women; her eyes lit up like light bulbs.
"Sister Xiaoyu! Sister Qing!"
The little girl rushed over to each of them, was picked up and spun around twice by Liu Xiaoyu, and then taken by Xiao Yuqing and lifted high, laughing so hard her voice cracked.
Li Niannian was helping Zhou Dahai prepare vegetables in the kitchen. She looked up and glanced into the living room through the window.
Liu Xiaoyu linked arms with Li Yichen's left arm, while Xiao Yuqing leaned on his right shoulder, teasing Miaomiao. The three of them huddled together, intimate and natural.
She looked away, a complex expression in her eyes, and then continued chopping vegetables.
The knife fell on the cutting board, one stroke at a time, without haste or slowness.
It was a little after six in the evening.
The sound of a key turning came from the entryway. Ji Yanran pushed the door open and entered, wearing a black business dress, her high heels clicking twice on the floor.
Her gaze swept across the living room.
Two pretty girls sat on either side of their boss, a variety show was playing on the TV, and Miao Miao was dozing off on Xiao Yuqing's lap.
Ji Yanran paused for less than a second.
She then put on a polite smile, changed into slippers, and walked over.
"Xiaoyu, Yuqing, you're here?"
The two women greeted each other. Ji Yanran went straight to the refrigerator, took out a box of strawberries and half a watermelon, washed and cut them, arranged them on a plate, and served them to the two women.
"Here, have some fruit."
The movements were fluid and natural, and the way the plate was carried was relaxed and casual.
She herself didn't realize that this smooth and efficient way of entertaining guests was exactly the style of the villa's female owner.
Miao Miao smelled the strawberry scent and rolled off Xiao Yuqing's lap. "Sister Ji, I want some too!"
The little girl grabbed the biggest one and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks puffing out.
Zhou Dahai's dinner was a feast. Eight dishes and a soup filled the table. The six of them sat around the table, the atmosphere lively yet subtly tense.
After the meal, Liu Xiaoyu and Xiao Yuqing stood up to get their bags.
"Then we're leaving."
Li Yichen leaned back in his chair and casually said, "It's so late, don't bother. There are plenty of rooms in the villa, let's stay here tonight."
The two women exchanged a glance.
I hesitated for two seconds.
nod.
Ji Yanran led them upstairs to their guest rooms. Her expression remained impeccable throughout, and she handled everything with utmost care and consideration, from introducing the room facilities and handing out towels to adjusting the air conditioning.
The moment she closed her bedroom door, her fingers lingered on the doorknob for two extra seconds.
It's 11 p.m.
The villa fell completely silent. Only the faint light of the emergency lights illuminated the corridor.
Li Yichen lay on the large bed in the master bedroom, his eyes closed, about to fall asleep. His ribs didn't hurt much anymore, and he hadn't taken any painkillers; his powerful physique was healing him.
A very faint sound came from the doorway.
The door was pushed open a crack. A slender figure slipped in, crouching low.
Xiao Yuqing.
She quietly closed the door, crept to the bedside, lifted the corner of the blanket, and slipped inside. She wrapped one arm around Li Yichen's arm, pressed her face against his, and whispered, "Little Li, I'm scared to sleep alone, you don't mind, do you?"
Li Yichen couldn't help but chuckle.
Hearing him laugh, Xiao Yuqing knew he wasn't asleep, so she moved even closer. She traced the edge of the bandage on his chest with her fingers.
"You're in this state, can you even move?"
Li Yichen turned his head and looked at her in the darkness.
"Really? Then I'll..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
There was another noise at the door.
Xiao Yuqing instinctively crawled under the covers and curled up into a ball.
Li Yichen looked towards the doorway.
Liu Xiaoyu.
She slipped in silently, like a thief. Finding nothing amiss in the darkness, she knelt by the bedside and whispered, "Brother Li, are you asleep?"
"without."
Liu Xiaoyu sat down on the edge of the bed, twisting the hem of her nightgown with both hands.
"This villa's rooms are too big, I'm scared to sleep alone... Can I sleep with you tonight?"
Li Yichen glanced at the bulging shape of Xiao Yuqing under the covers.
He glanced at Liu Xiaoyu by the bedside again.
My mind raced. Whether to keep someone or let them go, it would offend someone.
Just as he was about to speak, footsteps suddenly came from the end of the corridor.
*Knock.* A knock on the door.
Ji Yanran's voice came through the door: "Boss, are you asleep? If not, I'm coming in."
Liu Xiaoyu was so startled that she jumped up and rolled over to burrow under the covers.
Once inside, her hand touched a warm body.
Xiao Yuqing.
The two of them sat facing each other in bed, their eyes wide open.
I was so embarrassed I felt like my scalp was tingling.
But no one dared to speak.
Li Yichen looked at the two bulges on either side of the blanket, feeling utterly helpless. He reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.
"I'm not asleep yet. Yanran, what's up?"
Ji Yanran pushed the door open and came in, holding a tablet in her hand.
"The brain-computer interface chip's integration process with the hospital has been fully completed, and the sales qualification has been approved. We can officially sign a contract with the first hospital tomorrow."
Li Yichen nodded. "Okay, I understand. You're in full charge of this matter. You don't need to wait for me to sign."
"it is good."
Ji Yanran responded and was about to turn and leave.
They stopped in their tracks.
Her gaze fell on the bed.
A large bed for one person. Large bulges on both sides of the blanket.
The outline is distinct.
are people.
Ji Yanran's head buzzed. A flush of blood rose from her neck all the way to her ears, and even the knuckles holding the tablet were burning hot.
She turned around abruptly and strode towards the door.
The door slammed shut.
The sound of hurried high-heeled slippers echoed down the corridor, clattering and fading into the distance.
Hearing the sounds that were almost like an escape, Li Yichen looked up at the ceiling.
On the left side of the blanket, Xiao Yuqing buried her face in the pillow and remained motionless.
On the right side of the blanket, Liu Xiaoyu was curled up like a shrimp, her ears so red they looked like they could bleed.
None of the three spoke.
The only sound in the bedroom was a slight humming from the air conditioner vents.
a long time.
Li Yichen spoke up.
"So, which of you two is going to go out first?"
Muffled sounds came from both sides of the blanket at the same time.
"I'm not going out."
"I'm not going out either."
Upon hearing this, Li Yichen's mouth stretched from ear to ear in a wide grin.
This night is destined to be long.
