Chapter 562: Care
“Don’t be anxious. Huo Tian has already rushed over. He’s a very reliable person. You don’t have to worry too much,” Bai Ran comforted gently.
Chen Chen nodded. With Chen Lin’s address, there was at least hope. However, he had not completely found Chen Lin yet. Chen Chen could not completely relax.
Today was really an unlucky day for him. Since last night, not only had his foot been broken, but Bai Ran had also accused him of being a cheat early in the morning.
After the argument, the two of them were about to break up when they found out that his sister was gone.
It was really one thing after another. It was exhausting!
Hearing this consolation, although it was useless, Chen Chen still felt much better.
At least Bai Ran’s attitude had softened again. In the end, Bai Ran still had feelings for him.
Then, this kind of relaxation of nerves brought about the appearance of physical pain.
At this moment, the pain from his feet made him frown.
When she saw Chen Chen’s expression and his movements, Bai Ran finally noticed that Chen Chen’s ankle was already swollen. His socks had been opened. His feet were wrapped in leather shoes, and he looked like he was in pain.
Bai Ran knew that Chen Chen had been injured because of her. She could not bear it, but she was too embarrassed to say it.
Although Chen Chen’s lie to her was true, the help was also true. If he had not suddenly come looking for her last night, she might have choked on the wine or suffocated.
Bai Ran was a simple and kind person who would repay kindness. When she saw this scene, she felt really sorry.
After some thought, she said in a gentler voice, “Is your foot okay?”
Chen Chen then knew that she had already noticed. He instantly said awkwardly, “It’s okay. Don’t worry. I just sprained myself. I’m already fine.”
However, looking at the sweat on his face, Bai Ran understood that he should be in a lot of pain now.
“Why don’t you take off your shoes and rest? The leather shoes are not elastic. If you press your blood vessels like this, it’ll become more and more serious,” Bai Ran advised, unable to suppress her worry.
In order to look for Chen Lin and not let Bai Ran see that he was injured, Chen Chen had already walked around with this injured foot for a long time.
Bai Ran had sprained her ankle when she was young and knew how excruciating the pain was. If she still used this foot at this moment, the pain would only invade her body even more wantonly.
Chen Chen quickly rejected, “It’s okay. This is my right foot. If I take off my shoes, I won’t be able to drive.”
Seeing that Bai Ran was still staring at his feet, Chen Chen said, “Don’t worry. I’m really fine.”
Then, he pretended to smile casually.
However, Bai Ran could clearly see that the sweat on his face was getting denser and denser. He should be struggling.
She felt even more uncomfortable.
This discomfort came from her psychological conflict.
After drinking that wine last night, she had already decided not to trust Chen Chen anymore and had decided to break up with him completely.
After fighting with him, she realized that Chen Chen was unable to retort at all. Therefore, she was even more convinced that Chen Chen was speechless because his lie had been exposed.
However, at this moment, he was injured again for her, making Bai Ran a little moved.
It was not that she was soft-hearted, but these things reminded her of many memories.
Chen Chen had never liked to express himself since he was young. He would bear everything silently in his heart. This was also the conclusion she had reached after observing for a long time.
However, being bad with words did not mean that he did not care about others. On the contrary, he was a meticulous and kind person. Hu Wan’s illness was an example. He would rather let her down than abandon his responsibility. If not for Grandma and the others, she did not know when Chen Chen would explain the cause to her.
Why did such a person suddenly become a person who was full of lies and had no bottom line? Was the human heart so fickle?
Bai Ran was very puzzled.
A possibility even flashed across her mind. Could this be a misunderstanding?
However, she immediately killed this thought.
Hadn’t she suffered enough? At a time like this, she was actually still absolving him?
Bai Ran suddenly hated herself for being such a coward. How much had she been hurt because of this? She had almost lost her life, but she was still trying to absolve this man. Did she have any dignity?
Even if it was a misunderstanding in the past, the evidence was already in front of her. How could it still be a misunderstanding?!
