Chapter 436 - Don't Move



The surroundings turned quiet. The only sound that could be heard was the bubbling sounds of the hot pot soup.

Xia Yu stared at the closed door for a long time, wondering what she should do at this time. She was not ready to be in the same room with Huo Yun Chen just the two of them.

As she was still wondering how she should be dealing with this matter, Xia Yu noticed the movement from his side. When she turned, there was a few slices of meat on her plate.

"Eat. Let\'s not waste the food." Huo Yun Chen smiled as he recalled the way Xia Yu had flinched when he approached her.

He found that he liked the look on her face each time that he had teased her. However, he knew that he should not go overboard. With Xia Yu\'s personality, she would definitely run farther away.

His hand tightened into a fist.

These days, Huo Yun Chen would often visit Xia Yu at Lin You\'s place. Just talking to her would make him feel more at ease. And then, he would be reminded of Brother Xiang\'s question.

A strange and warm feeling arose in his heart and it made him smile. Huo Yun Chen decided that if he wanted Xia Yu to open up to him, he should do it carefully. After all, it was not easy to make her stay beside him just like this.

Xia Yu avoided his gaze and continued to eat her food slowly. Perhaps, with her mouth full, she would not have to engage in an awkward conversation with him.

As she chewed her food slowly, Xia Yu watched Huo Yun Chen from the corner of her eyes. A breath of relief escaped her as she saw that he was too focused on cooking and eating the food.

Because she could not move too much, it was Huo Yun Chen who would cook the raw ingredients and place the cooked food into her bowl.

To think that she was served like this by this popular celebrity... No one would believe this if she told anyone about it.

The two of them were sitting side by side. Perhaps it was all her imagination. As time passed by, Xia Yu could feel as if her left arm, which was the closest to him felt a little warm.

Her gaze went to the bottles of the alcoholic drinks that Lin You had left on the table. She wished she could take a few sips to ease her mood. However, when she think that she was still an injured person, Xia Yu quickly dispel that thought.

Previously, she had decided to recuperate quickly so that she could go on with her life. Then, she would look for a job and pay back Huo Yun Chen and Little Star. She did not want to be a burden to them.

They were kind enough to help her but it would not be nice to take advantage of their kindness.

They often said that they did not mind spending the money, but Xia Yu knew well how money could change a relationship.

For Xia Yu, it was good enough that both Huo Yun Chen and Song Xing Xing had helped her to get the best person to help her with her situation.

"I heard from the doctor that your legs will be healed in a couple of weeks."

Xia Yu gave a startle upon hearing his voice. She looked up slowly and saw that Huo Yun Chen was looking at her. "Mhm..."

"That\'s good to hear. What are you planning to do next?" Huo Yun Chen picked up another slice of beef for her and flashed a smile. "Will you come and work with me?"

Her expression froze as she saw the smile on his face. Xia Yu thought that Huo Yun Chen was playing dirty. Just this smile alone was enough to make her heartbeat accelerate.

"I don\'t know." Xia Yu lowered her gaze. "I haven\'t made my decision yet."

Xia Yu had wanted to contact the previous hospital she had worked with and ask for her previous position. But she was embarrassed to face the head nurse, especially when she had let her down by not pursuing her study.

"I think, I will wait until the trial is over," Xia Yu said. "That\'s right. I will be going back to A City to attend my brother\'s trial. They needed me to give a few statements in court"

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No!" Xia Yu answered quickly. "You\'re a big celebrity. Brother Xiang would be furious if you appear at such a place and had your picture taken. Besides, Little Star said that she will arrange a few people to look after me."

Huo Yun Chen frowned. Even though Song Xing Xing had made an arrangement, he was still not at ease to let Xia Yu leave.

His heart would break for her each time that he recalled her argument with her mother. Huo Yun Chen did not doubt that Xia Yu\'s mother would look after her again and made some demands.

"Then, you have to tell me if you need any help."

"Un. I know."

The two continued their meals in silence.

With her stomach full, Xia Yu put the chopsticks in her hand and stared at the leftover with a dazed look on her face.

It was Huo Yun Chen and Xia Yu who had prepared the ingredients. This time, it should be her who helped to clean up and wash the dishes right?

Xia Yu watched as Huo Yun Chen stood up and carried the dirty dishes into the kitchen. The sound of water came from the kitchen. She tried to stand up and carried a few plates in her hand.

Once she managed to stabilize herself, Xia Yu walked into the kitchen carefully with the help of the crutch. Her movement halted as she watched this celebrity washing the dishes.

She tightened her grip and moved closer to send the dishes to the sink.

Just as she was about to reach the sink, Huo Yun Chen turned off the tap and turned around.

His movement was too sudden and the two of them collided with each other. Her eyes widened, realizing that she was about to fall from the collision.

Xia Yu closed her eyes, bracing for the impact. However, Huo Yun Chen had moved faster. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her towards him.

The sounds of the falling plate echoed. Xia Yu opened her eyes again and looked at the person in front of her. Her eyes widened upon realizing their closeness.

"Are you alright?" Sensing that the girl was struggling to move, Huo Yun Chen tightened his grip around her waist. "Don\'t move. Be careful where you are stepping to."

Xia Yu lowered her gaze and saw the plates around her. Fortunately, they were made of plastic and did not break easily. She could not imagine what it would be if they were made of glass.. The shards would be dangerous for both of them.
