Chapter 537 Staying in the Same Room (2)
Hearing his tone, Xu Jiamu knew that he wasn’t joking. She studied medicine, so if he asked her for help, it was most likely that something had happened to someone. Duan Linbai had also helped her before. If he needed help, she couldn’t refuse. “Not yet. I’m at the laboratory building.”
“I’ll pick you up. Wait!”
With that, he hung up. Xu Jiamu lowered her head and wrote the experimental report for a while.

Duan Linbai arrived at the laboratory building around twenty minutes later. When Xu Jiamu heard the sound of a car, she packed up her things and prepared to go downstairs.
In the entire laboratory building, only one room was lit. Duan Linbai couldn’t wait and wanted to go up to drag her away. But as soon as he entered the building, he felt a gust of cold wind, bringing with it a strong chemical smell.
He suddenly remembered that when he came here during the day once, there were still many specimens of human organs here and also countless animal eyeballs...
He felt a burst of fear. At this moment, the sensor lights in the corridor suddenly dimmed, and he gasped. Is this woman crazy? Why is she staying here in the middle of the night?!
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from upstairs. The sensor lights lit up, and a white figure appeared.
“F*ck!” Duan Linbai subconsciously took a step back, his face pale from fright.
“What are you doing?” It was Xu Jiamu coming down, and she was also shocked by him.
“Why are you dressed like that in the middle of the night?”
“...” Xu Jiamu looked down at her white lab coat.
“I have a friend who suddenly can’t see. I want you to help me take a look.” Duan Linbai called her to come with him, feeling a lingering fear. F*ck, I was scared to death!
Xu Jiamu lowered her head and tugged at her clothes. Is there a problem? Isn’t it normal for medical students to wear white lab coats?
After getting into the car, Duan Linbai told Xu Jiamu the situation while she listened carefully.
“Wait until I see her.” The two of them were sitting in the back of the car, but there seemed to be a galaxy between them.
The atmosphere in the car was a little awkward. Duan Linbai was someone who couldn’t stay idle, so he asked casually, “You’re still studying so late at night?” “I’m working on my thesis.”
The PhD students were all ascetics, and they were grinding their theses every day. Even if they studied for a few years and only focused on writing their graduation theses, there were still many people who ended up postponing their graduation. How could Xu Jiamu not work
hard?
Duan Linbai had also interacted with many PhD and postdocs. He glanced at Xu Jiamu from the corner of his eye.
COIT
Isn’t it said that PhD students overuse their brains every day and are prone to hair loss? She...
... has quite a lot of hair.
The girl is beautiful. If she goes bald...
Xu Jiamu noticed his gaze and frowned slightly. Why is he staring at me?
Is he planning to settle old scores with me after I see the patient?

On the other side...
Tang Jingci and Qiao Xiyan had already arrived at the hotel.
“We’re here. Get out of the car.” Qiao Xiyan got out first.
Tang Jingci’s hands were trembling as she touched the seats in the car. She slowly moved to the side of the car. Her feet were shaking as she carefully leaned forward. She was panicking...
For the first time, she felt how helpless it was not to be able to see.
When she finally touched the car door, her feet slowly moved forward. She bent over and slowly moved forward like a child who had just learned how to go down the stairs.
Qiao Xiyan narrowed his eyes. “The ground is just a little lower.”
When she finally landed on the ground, she was overjoyed. Her originally arched back straightened, and her head hit the roof of the car.
Surprisingly, she bumped into something warm.
Qiao Xiyan had reached out to protect her head. “What’s the hurry?”
“I...” Tang Jingci bit her lip and got out of the car shakily. Her feet stepped onto the ground. She knew that her nightmare had just begun because next was the hotel steps.
“Where are we going now?” She gripped the corner of her shirt tightly, her palms covered in cold sweat.
Never in her life has she felt so flustered and helpless.
“Mr. Qiao, Miss Tang, welcome back!” The hotel’s security guards recognized them. After all, they were long-standing guests.
Tang Jingci lowered her head, unwilling to let anyone see that something was wrong with her eyes. She took half a step forward uneasily, and someone suddenly grabbed her wrist.
The man’s palm was broad and had rough calluses, thick and warm.
“Don’t move!”
Before she could react, someone held the bend of her legs. A pair of hands passed half an inch around her waist and hugged her. Her body was suspended in the air, and she fell into a warm embrace. “Hold tight.” His voice fell into her ears, low and dry.
Tang Jingci couldn’t see, so she could only tentatively reach out to wrap her arms around his neck. But her fingers touched his face and slid down to his lips.
“Wrong place.” He opened and closed his mouth, and the heat he exhaled was so hot that her fingertips went numb. This time, she reached to the side shakily and hugged his neck.
Only then did Qiao Xiyan straighten his legs, carry her, and stride into the hotel. He went straight to the elevator. He couldn’t press the button with his fingers, so the staff helped.
“Is Miss Tang alright?”
“She’s fine.” Qiao Xiyan hugged the person in his arms tightly. “Please help me press the button for the nineteenth floor.”
“Okay.” The hotel staff frowned. Tang Jingci’s eyes were closed, and her face was pale. Is she sick?

Tang Jingci knew that someone was looking at her and subconsciously buried her head in Qiao Xiyan’s arms.
Her body was very fragrant. The skin of her fingers was soft and tender from being rubbed down. Her fingers hung gently on his neck, but her palms were hot and pressed against the back of his neck. The heat was scorching.
She was very nervous. She buried her head in his neck. Her breathing was rapid, and her warm and fragrant breath made him feel uncomfortable.
The elevator door closed, and Tang Jingci said in a low voice, “Senior Brother...”
She was really afraid. Her voice was not as strong as usual but soft...
She clung tightly to his neck, and there seemed to be a rustling electric current running through him, making Qiao Xiyan stiffen.
“Hmm?”
“Why don’t you put me down?”.
“If you fall, Second Uncle-Master won’t let me off.”
“I’m quite heavy. I’m afraid I’ll tire you.” The more she couldn’t see, the clearer her other senses were. At this moment, she could even hear her pounding heart, as though it was about to burst out of her chest.
Her heart was palpitating so much that it was suffocating
Qiao Xiyan frowned...
Normally, he would definitely say, “You’re quite heavy.”
He saw her pale face, and his heart softened “You’re not heavy. I’ll hold you longer... “I can take it.”
Tang Jingci’s ears were slightly burning, so she didn’t say anything else.
When the two of them reached the door of the room, Qiao Xiyan put her down. She took out the room card, and the two of them entered her room. But there were many specialties piled up on the floor of her room, so it was very messy and inevitably bumpy. In the end, they still went to Qiao Xiyan’s room.
Sitting on Qiao Xiyan’s bed... Tang Jingci felt dizzy. Am I going to spend the night alone with him?
***
After Qiao Xiyan returned to his room and took off his coat, he noticed that Fu Chen had called. Duan Linbai must have said something to him.
But in the capital, if something really happened to Tang Jingci’s eyes, they would have to rely on Fu Chen’s help. After hesitating for a moment, he called back.
“Hey!” Qiao Xiyan picked up the cigarette on the bedside table in frustration.
“How is Miss Tang?”
“What do you think?”
Fu Chen sneered. He’s so angry.
“Do you need me to find her a nanny?”
“A nanny?”
“She can’t see, so it’s inconvenient for her to move. Otherwise, you can take care of her closely. But...” Fu Chen raised his eyebrows.
“Going to the bathroom, taking a shower, and so on, I don’t think it’s very convenient for you.
“After all, she and you are only junior sister and senior brother. You’re not her boyfriend, so it’s easy for there to be criticism if you take care of her closely.” Qiao Xiyan had just stuffed a cigarette into his mouth when he choked on his words. Take a shower...
He glanced at Tang Jingci, who was sitting on the bed, and his throat felt inexplicably hot.
