Chapter 252: Saved Me Yet Again
When Bai Shishi was safely rescued from the Ferris wheel cabin to the ground, the police captain shouted to his team, "Quickly untie the hostage!"
"Miss Bai, are you okay?" Ruyan leaned in front of Bai Shishi, removing the cloth stuffed in her mouth.
"Cough, cough, I’m okay!" Bai Shishi gasped for air as the item was removed from her mouth.
Kidnapped then rescued, God knows what Bai Shishi really went through.
"If you hadn’t found me in time, who knows what could’ve happened to me?" Bai Shishi’s eyes revealed a look of terror.
"The person you should thank isn’t us!" The police captain smiled slightly and shook his head.
It was clear that the police captain was a good person, not seeking credit and not someone who claims all the glory.
"If not you, then who should I thank?" Bai Shishi said while stretching her wrists, sore and swollen from being tied up for too long.
"Thank him!" Ruyan turned her head, pointing with her slender index finger at the man slumped on the ground.
"Lin Tian!" Bai Shishi’s beautiful eyes widened in shock, her expression dazed.
"He’s been frantically looking for you these past two days!"
"In the end, he was the one who found Miss Bai and took down the enemy before alerting us. In other words, Lin Tian saved you, and the police only came to handle the aftermath!"
Ruyan spoke the truth, not exaggerating one bit.
"Lin Tian!!!"
Suddenly, Bai Shishi noticed something was wrong, since from the first glance, Lin Tian had his head down, which she initially didn’t mind, but he kept his head down, which was indeed strange.
Ruyan was also startled by this shout, hurriedly taking a closer look at Lin Tian, and ran to his side out of fear.
The two women rushed to Lin Tian’s side, lifting his head, revealing his tightly closed eyes, furrowed brows, and a pained expression, with blood trickling from his mouth.
Ruyan placed her index and middle finger under Lin Tian’s nose: "Not good, his breathing is very weak!"
"Is he injured?" Bai Shishi never thought she would care so much about Lin Tian, but now this strong feeling surprised her.
"I don’t know!" Ruyan, though frantic, was used to such situations, remained calm, stood up, and ordered those behind her, "Quick, call an ambulance to take him to the hospital!"
Then, everyone was in a flurry of confusion...
Beep... beep...
The heart monitor showed everything was normal. Lin Tian slowly opened his eyes, seeing a fluid drip shaking before his eyes.
"You’re awake?"
Before Lin Tian fully woke up, a gentle voice reached him.
Lin Tian turned his head towards the direction the voice came from.
A person with black-framed glasses, an expressionless face, but a smile on the lips that could melt anyone’s heart.
"Mei... cough, cough!" Lin Tian tried to speak but started coughing heavily.
"Don’t move around or speak just after waking up!" Ruyan quickly advised.
"I’m okay!" Lin Tian chuckled, "I just accidentally choked on some saliva!"
"Ew~! You’re disgusting!" The usually icy-cold Ruyan surprisingly displayed a faux-disgusted expression typical of a young girl.
"What are you doing here?"
Lin Tian checked the time, it was eleven in the morning: "By the way, how’s Miss Bai?"
Ruyan smiled slightly. The first thing Lin Tian asked upon waking was about Bai Shishi, which both surprised her and caused a subtle ache in her heart.
It seemed Bai Shishi held a very important place in his heart...
"Miss Bai is fine...!" Ruyan picked up a red apple from the table, began to peel it with a fruit knife, her face full of grievance.
"Those people didn’t do anything to Miss Bai, did they?" Lin Tian remembered passing out, not knowing what happened to Bai Shishi, so he asked again.
"Miss Bai is fine, just some minor injuries!" Ruyan said while peeling and briefly glanced at Lin Tian, "Why keep asking me? Why not ask her yourself when she comes!"
The more Ruyan spoke, the more upset she seemed.
Always talking about Bai Shishi, can’t you ask about me?
Sensing Ruyan’s change in mood, Lin Tian grinned widely, "Oh~ I didn’t expect Mei to get jealous?"
"Eat your apple!" Ruyan stuffed a peeled apple directly into Lin Tian’s mouth to stop his chatter.
"Why so fierce... what’s up?" Lin Tian mumbled through the apple in his mouth.
"I’ll sue you for attempted murder of your husband?" Lin Tian raised his eyebrow in mock bravado.
Ruyan swung the fruit knife, "Since you plan to sue me, I might as well kill you!"
"Could you bear to kill me?" Lin Tian started joking again.
"No one can’t!" Ruyan shot him a glare, irritated: "Think you’re some treasure, do you?"
"Then why does Mei look like a jealous wife?" Lin Tian said with a teasing smile.
"Go to hell!" Ruyan pinched Lin Tian’s arm hard with her red nail-polished fingers.
"Ouch, ouch~ painful!" Lin Tian gritted his teeth in pain.
"If you know it hurts, then behave!"
After a round of playfulness, Lin Tian returned to the serious topic, "Where did Miss Bai go? Better be careful in case someone tries something again!"
"She said she went back to the tea house to handle some matters, should be back soon!" Ruyan checked the time, seeing it was almost noon, figuring the tea house business should be wrapped up soon.
Speak of the devil, Bai Shishi arrived just as she was mentioned, walking into the ward in her professional black attire, looking sharp and efficient.
"Oh, you’re awake?" After entering, Bai Shishi looked at Lin Tian, lying in bed, munching on an apple, and said softly.
Despite the gentle tone, a hint of concern was still evident in her words.
Lin Tian tossed the apple core into the trash bin, saying to Bai Shishi, "Judging by your surprised tone, Miss Bai, you didn’t expect me to wake up, huh?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Shishi threw her black backpack onto the hospital bed and sat next to Ruyan.
Bai Shishi picked up a red apple and started peeling it.
Seeing Bai Shishi peel another apple, Lin Tian quickly said, "Don’t peel it, I can’t eat anymore!"
"You eat someone else’s peeled apple but not mine?" Bai Shishi’s red lips curled up as she challenged him.
This left Lin Tian speechless; he wished he could crack open a woman’s head to see what was inside.
He just finished one big apple, and now another is being peeled. Who could eat so much!
Lin Tian stopped talking, aware that another word could lead to Bai Shishi’s unpredictable thoughts.
"Thank you for saving me again, and again, and again!" Bai Shishi looked down, her black hair draping over half her face.
"It’s what I should do!" Lin Tian chuckled, "After all, I’m your loyal, dedicated, and dashing... employee!"
"Stop making us nauseous!"
Bai Shishi and Ruyan both made gagging faces...
