Chapter 357 - 358: Warm Up Faster Like This
He could drive too, and of course he understood that when facing danger while driving, encountering danger ahead, one would instinctively steer left to maximize their own protection. However, the direction the car had stopped in indicated that Jiao Yang had steered right, confronting the danger of Falling Rocks head-on, thus leaving more safety for Luo Xiaoqian.
Jiao Yang lifted his face, and the gazes of the two men met in the rearview mirror.
"You went to the school, right?" Luo Xiaoqian asked from the side. "How are Xiao Zhou and the kids, are they all right?"
Leng Zimo withdrew his gaze, "They’re fine, both the school and the village are very safe."
Jiao Yang also withdrew his gaze and turned the car around, heading toward the direction of the county town.
"Are you two heading back to the school?" Leng Zimo asked.
"I came to find you," Luo Xiaoqian said softly.
"To find me?" Leng Zimo turned his face, his deep, ink-dark eyes looking into hers.
"I knew you’d gone to the school and was afraid you’d worry if you couldn’t find me," Luo Xiaoqian said as she steadied his arm, noticing blood on his hand. She frowned with concern, "How did your hand get injured..."
"It’s just a minor wound, doesn’t matter," Leng Zimo lifted his hand to press her small head to his chest. "President Jiao, tonight, you’ve really been bothered, this foolish girl of mine always acts on impulse."
He deliberately emphasized the words "my home" to declare ownership.
Jiao Yang steered the car onto the main road, offering a light smile, "President Leng needn’t be so formal with me. Given my personal relationship with Xiao Qian, not to mention if she wants to find someone, if she wants to go anywhere, I would accompany her."
The words "personal relationship" were equally heavily stressed by Jiao Yang.
The atmosphere inside the car obviously became tense.
Luo Xiaoqian sensed the strange atmosphere inside the car, looked at Jiao Yang, then at Leng Zimo, and wanted to say something to ease the mood, but then, feeling a tickle in her nose, she sneezed loudly.
"Feeling cold?" Jiao Yang turned on the heater. "Let me turn on the warm air for you!"
Leng Zimo lifted his hand to hold her close, "This will warm you up faster!"
Enclosed in his embrace, Luo Xiaoqian’s cheeks heated up, but she found the situation somewhat ridiculous.
These two guys must be natural rivals, always competing to be top dog wherever they’re together, right?!
Fortunately, the rain had lessened quite a bit by then, and Jiao Yang soon drove the car back to the People’s Hospital.
As soon as the car stopped, Luo Xiaoqian pulled Leng Zimo toward the emergency room, "We need to take care of the wound on your hand right away!"
Although he considered the minor injury insignificant, Leng Zimo obediently followed her to the emergency room.
Inside and outside the emergency room, the place was crowded with people. All the doctors and nurses were busy because many victims had been brought to the hospital due to the mudslide.
Leng Zimo looked at the crowded corridor and stopped, "Never mind, let’s go find a hotel to rest for now."
"Let’s go back to the car first, I brought a first aid kit!" Jiao Yang’s voice came from behind.
The three of them went back to the car, and Jiao Yang took a first aid kit out of the trunk and handed it over.
This trip to Sichuan was primarily to discuss a cultural cooperation project. Considering this was a high-altitude area, his assistant had specifically prepared him a first aid kit.
"Thank you!"
Luo Xiaoqian opened the first aid kit and took out some cotton medicine to treat Leng Zimo’s wound.
By then, the driver who had been rushed out of the car by Jiao Yang had also sat back in the car, "President Jiao, where are we heading?"
"Shall we go back to the hotel where we’re staying to rest a bit?" Luo Xiaoqian raised her face and asked.

Happy New Year, may all be well soon.
