The bedside was a mess, and the bed was not much better. The entire quilt and sheets were twisted into a ball.
Ye Ziyu had no intention of lying down again. She glanced at the sofa beside her and walked straight towards it. The room was heated, so she could get through the night without a quilt.
"Ziyu." Di Mingjue followed her to the sofa.
Curling up on it, Ye Ziyu buried her face in the sofa, turning her back to Di Mingjue.
The words that were about to be spoken were swallowed back. Di Mingjue turned around and rummaged through the cabinets in the room. He took a used bedsheet, walked over, and covered Ye Ziyu with it.
She ignored his words, but she didn't refuse him covering her with the sheet.
Thus, Ye Ziyu lay on the largest sofa, while Di Mingjue sat on the one next to it, guarding her.
The next day.
Di Mingjue opened his eyes, and the sofa in front of him only had a thin quilt left.
Where did she go?
He had fallen asleep from exhaustion in the latter half of the night.
Di Mingjue quickly got up from the sofa. His lower body had gone numb from staying in one position for too long. He took a step forward, and his foot bumped into the leg of a chair, tripping him entirely.
His hands braced on the tabletop, and the glass edge scratched his arm. Looking at the blood flowing out, Di Mingjue was reminded of the wound he had inflicted on Ye Ziyu's wrist last night.
He deserved it! It was retribution!
Ignoring the wound on his arm, he hurried out of the room.
Opening the door, he saw Ye Ziyu talking with Ye Chenhan. The two of them were standing at the door, discussing something, and hadn't noticed him at all.
At that moment, the door next to them also opened.
"You're all here?" Gu Xiuyu walked over.
Ye Chenhan immediately noticed the wound on his forehead. "Where is the bandage for your wound?"
Gu Xiuyu touched the wound and gasped, "I accidentally pulled it off while sleeping last night."
The exposed wound seemed to be bleeding again where it was starting to heal.
"You should get it bandaged at the hospital as soon as possible. Infection would be troublesome," Ye Ziyu said.
"Yes, the wound is on your head, so you can't be careless," Ye Chenhan chimed in.
Gu Xiuyu glanced to his left and thought for a moment, "I have a project today."
"Chenhan, go ask the hotel if they have any gauze and rubbing alcohol," Ye Ziyu said to Ye Chenhan.
Ye Chenhan agreed immediately. Turning around, he saw Di Mingjue standing at the door.
"Mingjue, when did you get here?" Ye Chenhan couldn't help but ask.
He had come out without making a sound, acting all mysterious.
Ye Ziyu glanced over, then withdrew her gaze.
Did they have a fight?
Gu Xiuyu observed the subtle relationship between the two of them.
"Ziyu, your hand?" Gu Xiuyu noticed the wound on her wrist. His gaze immediately shifted to Di Mingjue. Di Mingjue, who always opposed him, actually had a look of self-reproach on his face.
Ye Chenhan was quick and rushed over with a first-aid kit.
"Let me see your hand first." Gu Xiuyu reached out to take the first-aid kit from Ye Chenhan.
After only being away for a short while, Ye Chenhan was confused by his words.
Ye Ziyu pulled her sleeve down. "No need. Chenhan, help Mr. Gu bandage his wound."
Ye Chenhan had no idea how. However, sensing the awkward atmosphere, he didn't dare to say he couldn't.
He took the first-aid kit back, opened it, and took out cotton swabs and disinfectant.
"It might hurt a little," Ye Chenhan warned.
Standing in the hallway, under Ye Ziyu's direction, Ye Chenhan bandaged Gu Xiuyu's wound.
Turning, Ye Chenhan asked Ye Ziyu while packing his suitcase, "Did Di Mingjue hurt your hand?"
"Are we going to see the project stakeholders today?" Ye Ziyu asked.
Ye Chenhan looked at Di Mingjue, who was standing in the distance and not moving forward. "Answer me first, did he bully you?"
