Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

He Xi only briefly told He Fei some of her suggestions for her studio, such as the target audience and pricing. She was worried that if she said too much, Xiao Yan would say that He Xi wanted to control her.

Practice is the only way to test truth. No matter how much you say, it will be useless if the other party doesn't listen. You will only get tired in vain and be blamed.

After get off work in the evening, He Fei held He Xi's hand and said helplessly, "I still have some work to do. I'll take you home after I'm done."

Because of He Xi's illness, He Fei and Xiao Yan took turns sending her home when He Xi came to work, for fear that she would suddenly fall ill on the way and something unexpected would happen, or that someone with malicious intentions would take advantage of her.

This was originally Lu Jinan's business, but he insisted on breaking up. As a result, he no longer has the right to care about her.

He Xi glanced at the design drawings on her workstation. Many of them needed to be revised. She shook her head and said, "It's okay. You do your thing. I can do it. The doctor said my condition is stable now."

After saying goodbye to He Fei, He Xi walked slowly on the street carrying the small bag in her hand. Her figure looked a little lonely. The employees in the factory were all greeting her, and there were different opinions about their breakup and Lu Jinan's withdrawal.

"I think Mr. Lu must be tired of Director He."

"Why doesn't Director He dislike President Lu?"

"Didn't you see that it was Mr. Lu who was taking care of Director He all along?"

"Could it be that Director He is infertile? How long have they been together?"

…………

He Xi: “…”

Is the only way to judge a woman is whether she can give birth to a child? Half of the shackles on women's necks come from their own kind.

He Xi endured it, her face was not very good, but she did not get angry. Gossipers are always like this.

Because the garment factory is in the suburbs and the infrastructure is not yet fully developed, there are only street lights around the factory. There are no street lights on He Xi's way home, so she usually puts a mini flashlight in her bag when she goes to work every day, just for lighting.

But today she couldn't find it no matter what. He Xi took out the things in her bag one by one to make sure it wasn't there before giving up. It wasn't because she was afraid of the dark, but there was construction nearby and the road was difficult to walk on, and she was wearing high heels.

He Xi walked extremely carefully under the starry moonlight, his eyes wide open for fear that he could not see the potholes on the road. Maybe things had not been going well for him recently, so an accident still happened despite being so careful.

"Ah." He Xi fell and sprained her ankle at a chain of pits.

Most of the employees of the garment factory had left work. He Xi looked around and felt very sad. He could only limp to the hospital or go home.

At this time, a warm big hand reached out to help He Xi up. The other person was wearing a straight suit, youthful and elegant, with a handsome and outstanding appearance. He looked at He Xi with a faint smile and a flashlight in his hand: "He Xi, is this how you take care of yourself after breaking up?"

He Xi didn't expect the other party to call out her name. She was stunned and asked, "Do you know me?"

The other party chuckled and said, "The suit I'm wearing is a custom-made one from your factory. Another thing is that we are classmates in the same major."

He Xi nodded, but still remained on guard. It was better to be cautious when being a man and a woman alone.

She stood up with the help of the other person, and gently tried her left foot, and found that it was really sprained. As if it were not bad enough, the head was not healed yet, and the foot was also injured. Is she unlucky?

He Xi was still in a daze, wondering how to get to the hospital. The other party stood in front of He Xi, squatted down decisively, and said to her, "Come up, I'll take you to the hospital."

He Xi came back to her senses, looked at the strange man half squatting in front of her, and directly refused: "Uh, thank you, no, I can go to the hospital by myself."

The other party saw He Xi's vigilance, but didn't mind at all. He remained in the same posture and shone the flashlight nearby. The area illuminated by the beam was white.

The clearly visible objects flashed by and then immediately returned to their previous darkness, as if the light had never appeared.

He Xi swallowed unconsciously. She was a little scared when he looked at her like that. She glared at him in the darkness and cursed him in her heart.

He asked again: "Do you want to come up?"

He Xi was unmoved. He got anxious and said, "Are you stupid? If I were a bad guy, would I still be talking to you here? I would have taken you to the bed a long time ago."

He Xi's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Her sprained ankle was really painful and it was difficult for her to stand. Why did she have to suffer here? It was all her damn fate.

"I……"

"What do you mean by 'you'?" Without waiting for He Xi to react, he carried her on his back. The sudden forward force caused He Xi's body to lean backwards, and she subconsciously grabbed the back collar of his suit.

"Ugh." He Xi grabbed the back of his neck. The first button of his white shirt made it hard for him to breathe. He said with difficulty, "He Xi, you're strangling me to death."

Hearing this, He Xi loosened his hands and moved very unnaturally closer to the other person's back. For a moment, he didn't know where to put his hands and crossed his arms awkwardly, but he heard the other person's chuckle.

He said, "He Xi, you've already broken up, I have the right to pursue you, right?"

He Xi was slightly startled and lowered her eyes to look at the back of his head.

He Xi's silence was met with the other party's tilted head to look at her. There was a faint smile on his lips that He Xi could not see. He shook her lightly, scaring her so much that she instinctively put her arms around his shoulders.

As He Xi approached as expected, the faint sweet fragrance from her body penetrated his nose. His heart was beating fast as if he had done something bad. Is this what it felt like to pursue a lesbian?

Speechless all the way.

"When you go back, you must rest well to avoid straining your leg." The doctor gave medical advice and looked at the man next to He Xi, "As a family member, you must take good care of her and supervise her."

"We are not." He Xi waved his hands and tried to explain.

As a result, the doctor smiled as if to say "I understand, you don't have to be embarrassed", and then seeing him nodding with red ears, it became even more difficult to explain.

He arranged for He Xi to be hospitalized. The two of them sat in the ward, staring at each other. He Xi coughed lightly and said, "Hey, thank you for sending me to the hospital. I'm fine now."

He naturally understood what she meant, but his roommate said that you have to be thick-skinned to pursue a lesbian, so he hummed and said, "You probably don't remember me. Let me introduce myself, Xu Tongzhou, an accounting major."

He Xi nodded and glanced at her watch. It was already half past ten in the evening. She was in the same room with a strange man. She exhaled and was about to speak when the man beat her to the punch: "It's late, go to bed. Be a good person and I'll stay with you."

After saying that, he lay down on the empty bed next to He Xi and fell asleep in his clothes.

He Xi looked at his closed eyes. The words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat and she couldn't swallow them or utter them. She just accepted the reality blankly.

Then he lay obediently on the hospital bed, and thought to himself, has my spring come?

Now that spring is here, can summer be far behind?

The next day, He Xi was awakened by the sound of ward rounds. She was still asleep, so she looked at her watch and saw that it was half past six. Wasn't it too early?

"Hey, you guys look at her boyfriend, you're afraid she won't have a good meal so you bought a lot of different breakfasts."

"Yes, I saw him covering his partner with a blanket during my night rounds. He kept covering her with the blanket and he never gave up."

"What a talented and beautiful couple."

He Xi: Who is it? She should get up and take a look too.
