Chapter 049: Come Back Tomorrow

Feeling the warmth of Guan Xin's hand, she had blushed deeply after accidentally touching Lin Yi, and involuntarily lowered her head, afraid that Lin Yi would see her face. At that moment, her head was lowered so low that... a tragedy occurred...

"Ah!" Guan Xin finally couldn't help but exclaim, quickly standing up, but now she was too embarrassed to lift her head...

Seeing Guan Xin's appearance, Lin Yi also felt a bit helpless, thinking, who asked you to touch "him"? But since it had already happened, he awkwardly said, "I'm sorry... I couldn't help it..."

Hearing Lin Yi apologize first, Guan Xin felt a bit guilty. She was very clear that Lin Yi was generally quite honest, but only had a physiological reaction after she accidentally touched him. In the end, it was her fault!

"It's not your fault... As a nurse, I shouldn't be so concerned about these things. It's my thoughts that were impure..." Guan Xin quickly explained. If it were someone else, Guan Xin probably wouldn't have been so nice and would have slapped them long ago. But Lin Yi was different; he was her savior. Guan Xin felt a deep sense of guilt for the bullet wound on his body, believing he had been shot for her, which is why she was so gentle with him.

"He... is better..." Lin Yi pointed to his lower body with a self-deprecating smile, then awkwardly said, "We can continue..."

"Okay..." Guan Xin nodded, putting aside her previous embarrassment and carefully changed Lin Yi's bandages.

"Ouch..." The gauze had adhered to part of the wound, and the tearing sensation made Lin Yi clench his teeth.

"The wound is healing really well. It's hard to believe it was just operated on yesterday!" Guan Xin looked at Lin Yi's leg in surprise.

"Right, my skin heals quickly," Lin Yi explained. He couldn't say it was because he practiced the *Xuan Yuan Dragon Control Technique*.

After changing the bandages, both of their faces were still a bit awkward. Finally, Guan Xin smiled generously, "Come back in three days to change the bandages. Just come find me directly!"

"Okay..." Lin Yi nodded and hurried out of the surgical ward, running all the way downstairs before he could breathe a sigh of relief. What a humiliating day!

Uncle Fu had been waiting in the car for Lin Yi. Lin Yi hadn't let him come up because he was already fully mobile and didn't want to trouble Uncle Fu.

"Did you change the bandages?" Uncle Fu opened the car door and asked when he saw Lin Yi come out of the hospital.

"Yes, they're changed," Lin Yi nodded. "But I need to come back tomorrow to check the healing progress. It's fine to come every other day."

Actually, Guan Xin had thought that she would be off duty tomorrow and wanted Lin Yi to come the day after, but she was also worried about his wound, so she told him to check the healing progress.

Lin Yi thought about the awkwardness of changing the bandages and really didn't want to go through it again. The feeling of being able to see but not touch was really not pleasant.

"I've contacted Mr. Chu and told him what happened yesterday," Uncle Fu started the car and said to Lin Yi.

"What did Mr. Chu say?" Lin Yi asked quickly.

"Mr. Chu said he will return immediately and will discuss everything when he gets back," Uncle Fu said. "But Mr. Chu also said he has a vague idea of who is behind this."

"Oh?" Lin Yi was taken aback, not expecting Chu Pengzhan to be so astute and figure out the culprit so quickly.

The rush hour was over, and the traffic on the road had thinned out. Soon, Uncle Fu drove the car to the entrance of City No. 1 High School. Lin Yi got out of the car and waved to Uncle Fu.

Lin Yi slung his backpack and stepped into the school gate. The playground was empty except for a few students playing basketball, clearly the type who often skip class.

"Bang" A basketball rolled toward Lin Yi.

"Hey, kid, throw the ball over here!" A long-haired student in black clothes shouted at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi was in a hurry to get to class and didn't have time to fetch the ball for him. Besides, the ball wasn't right at his feet but still some distance away.

"Fuck you, little bastard, I'm talking to you, didn't you hear me?" Zou Ruoming immediately got angry. In this school, who dared to ignore his orders?

Lin Yi heard Zou Ruoming's curse and frowned slightly. Although he didn't know who his parents were, he still found such insulting language very unpleasant.

Lin Yi slowly turned around, looked at Zou Ruoming, pointed at him, and then pointed at himself, meaning, are you talking to me?

"It's you, are you deaf? Count to three, and throw the ball over here, and we'll be fine. Otherwise, I'll make you unable to stay in this school," Zou Ruoming, seeing Lin Yi's attire, knew he was a poor student and spoke without any restraint.

Lin Yi didn't say anything, walked straight to where the basketball had rolled, and bent down to pick it up.

Zou Ruoming's group of lackeys cheered, and Zou Ruoming enjoyed the feeling of others submitting to him, which made him feel extremely powerful as the school bully.

"Brother Ming is so authoritative, one word and that kid obediently picks up the ball, even after being scolded, he doesn't dare to say a word!" one of Zou Ruoming's flunkies fawned.

"Hmph, just a poor student," Zou Ruoming said smugly. "In this school, no one who dares to oppose me has even been born yet!"

Lin Yi stood up, holding the basketball, and turned toward Zou Ruoming. Zou Ruoming made a gesture to catch the ball, signaling Lin Yi to throw it over.

Lin Yi looked at Zou Ruoming's pretentious pose and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He suddenly raised his hand, and the basketball flew rapidly toward Zou Ruoming.

Of course, Zou Ruoming didn't realize that danger was approaching. He still stood there arrogantly, hands outstretched, ready to catch the basketball Lin Yi threw.

"Bang" The basketball hit Zou Ruoming's hands. At first, Zou Ruoming was proud of catching the ball from such a distance, and his lackeys cheered and flattered him, "Brother Ming is so cool, he's the new Jordan!"

Zou Ruoming was about to say, "That's right!" but before he could, he felt something was wrong! The basketball didn't stop when it hit his hands; it felt like he had been hit by a lead ball!
