Chapter 137: Completely Off Key
"Stop it, you weren’t even in tune, and you sang well!"
Bai Shishi burst into laughter and quickly explained, "I mean, don’t you feel that the lyrics describe exactly what you were just doing?"
"Huh?"
Lin Tian frowned, pondering over the meaning in Bai Shishi’s words.
Soon, he nodded thoughtfully, and finally understood what Bai Shishi meant by that immersive experience.
The rain kept falling, the water kept flowing, and the atmosphere wasn’t exactly friendly; the atmosphere in the hospital room was very awkward. Under the same roof, in the same hospital room, you gradually felt a change in your heart, indeed a change in your heart.
So nervous that I couldn’t pee!
"Doesn’t it sound a lot like the song you sang?"
Holding her stomach to suppress a laugh, Bai Shishi finally couldn’t hold it back any longer. She opened her eyes and squatted on the floor, laughing out loud.
Lin Tian sat dumbfounded on the hospital bed, looking clueless.
It’s just singing a song, is it that big of a deal?
Is your imagination really that wild?
"Have you laughed enough?"
Seeing Bai Shishi laughing uncontrollably on the ground, Lin Tian put on a gloomy face, pretending to be angry.
"Enough... enough! You’re really hilarious, singing when you need to pee. Are all men like this?"
Bai Shishi thought Lin Tian was upset, so she forced herself to stop smiling, but her stiff expression still betrayed her intention to laugh.
"I just felt like singing... so I sang!"
Lin Tian’s face was bitter, unsure of how to explain, and in the end, to avoid implicating a large number of male buddies, he could only come up with a clumsy excuse.
"Stop it, my stomach hurts from laughing!"
Bai Shishi stood up from the ground and slipped her right hand under the blanket.
"What are you doing?"
Lin Tian, struck dumb, panicked when he saw Bai Shishi’s actions.
Bai Shishi looked at Lin Tian with a surprised expression, "What do you mean what am I doing? I’m going to empty the urinal. Do you really want to keep it under the blanket otherwise?"
"Oh!"
Lin Tian nodded rapidly like a bashful unmarried woman, blushing and not daring to look Bai Shishi in the eye.
Bai Shishi extended her right hand under the blanket, slowly moving forward, and when she felt a hot plastic urinal, she grabbed its tail carefully, fearing it might spill.
After pulling out the white plastic urinal, a foul smell immediately hit Bai Shishi’s nose, causing her beautiful eyes to wrinkle slightly.
Lin Tian, who had been secretly watching Bai Shishi with the corner of his eye, quickly looked down, pretending not to have seen anything.
Bai Shishi placed the urinal on the floor, then extended her hands under the blanket to help Lin Tian put on his pants, before taking the urinal to the toilet in the hospital room.
As soon as Bai Shishi left, Lin Tian quickly lifted his head, his heartbeat accelerating and his body feeling flush.
His dark eyes followed Bai Shishi as she carried the urinal into the toilet. He whispered to himself, "Once is enough. I swear if I ever end up bedridden and unable to move again, I won’t let a woman do this, it’s too uncomfortable, too damn embarrassing..."
As he was venting his frustration, there was a soft knock on the hospital room door.
"Come in!"
Before Lin Tian could respond, Bai Shishi, who was closest to the hospital room door, called out from the toilet.
The door opened to reveal Mei Ruyan entering the room, her hair tied up, revealing a smooth forehead, wearing black-framed glasses, a tight black shirt, tight black leather pants, and black flat shoes.
"What brings you here?"
Lin Tian was a bit surprised by Mei Ruyan’s sudden arrival.
"I’m off today, so I came by to help Miss Bai take care of you!"
Mei Ruyan walked to the bedside with her long legs, placed her black leather bag on the cabinet beside the bed, and adjusted her glasses: "How are you, feeling any better?"
Although her voice was caring, there was something about the way she said it that felt odd.
Looking at the meticulously dressed Mei Ruyan, a stunning beauty, Lin Tian swallowed and smiled slightly, "Just minor injuries, I’m fine!"
"Ruyan, you’re here?"
Just as Mei Ruyan was about to speak, Bai Shishi came out of the toilet. She recognized the visitor with a single glance at Mei Ruyan’s back.
"Yeah!"
Faced with Bai Shishi, her superior and boss, Mei Ruyan’s response was very calm, nodding slightly.
This scene was observed by Lin Tian lying on the hospital bed, silently thinking, "It seems she’s not just cold to men, but to women too!"
Having grown accustomed to Mei Ruyan’s way of doing things, Bai Shishi didn’t mind. Instead, she was carrying the urinal, intending to place it under the bed.
As the urinal approached, Mei Ruyan noticed the air didn’t smell right. She immediately raised her slender, fair right hand, placing a red-lacquered index finger against her nose, as if to block the unpleasant odor from entering her nostrils.
"Um, the urinal... the one in your hand, put it down!"
Lin Tian waved his hand frantically and hastily shouted to Bai Shishi.
Having experienced the shame, Bai Shishi having done it once was enough; no one else could know, or else his reputation would be utterly ruined.
Although Bai Shishi noticed Mei Ruyan’s actions, she didn’t really get what was wrong. With Lin Tian’s reminder, she quickly placed the urinal under the hospital bed: "Sorry, Ruyan, he just finished his business, and I forgot I was still holding it in my hand..."
At this moment, Lin Tian couldn’t describe the emotions deep in his heart.
He had only one thought, if there was a hole right now, he would jump in without hesitation.
"Okay!"
Mei Ruyan nodded expressionlessly, but her stunning eyes suddenly darted to Lin Tian.
As their eyes met, Lin Tian turned away, unable to meet the gaze, aware that Mei Ruyan was also his colleague, so he subconsciously explained, "I can’t move my hands, so I had to trouble Miss Bai!"
"Why are you explaining? I didn’t say anything!"
Mei Ruyan spoke without any emotion, yet the lack of it only heightened Lin Tian’s anxiety.
How he wished there was no one else in this hospital room but himself...
Seeing the awkward tension between Mei Ruyan and Lin Tian, Bai Shishi checked her watch; she hadn’t been to the tea house or the company since yesterday, and there were still a bunch of things waiting for her to handle.
After all, while the vast company and tea house might manage without some workers, they would not operate smoothly without her leadership.
"Um... Ruyan, why don’t you two chat, I’ll head back to the tea house to take care of things!"
Bai Shishi, seeing the silent stalemate between Lin Tian and Mei Ruyan, took the opportunity to chime in.
Mei Ruyan nodded: "Take it easy, Miss Bai. Xiaogang is downstairs to pick you up, and he’ll ensure your safety!"
It was only then Lin Tian realized why Mei Ruyan was here, talking about helping Miss Bai.
Turns out Bai Shishi had to go to the tea house to handle matters, enduring from yesterday until now; it really was a lot for her.
