Upon realizing the danger, the staff and Xia Sui who had rushed over immediately shouted in unison, “Jiayi, watch out!”

“Miss Lin, watch out!”

Almost at the same moment, Xia Shangzhou, who had been standing beneath Lin Jiayi, suddenly turned around swiftly with her in his arms.

Following which, the white hooves of the horse that had gone crazy for no apparent reason suddenly stomped on Xia Shangzhou’s back. Then, it bypassed him and Lin Jiayi and dashed forward.

Xia Sui, who had witnessed the entire scene, clearly noticed that Xia Shangzhou’s arms were propped on the sides of Lin Jiayi’s head instead of pressing down on her body to carry her.

Even when the horse stomped on his back, his body swayed violently, but he still managed to keep himself from falling down.

No one noticed such a small detail, not even Lin Jiayi, who was involved in the matter.

However, Xia Sui saw through Xia Shangzhou’s thoughts with a single glance. The reason why he was acting this way wasn’t because he didn’t want to be intimate with a woman, but because he was afraid that the horse would stomp on his back and hurt her, right? He had done it on purpose, using this method to separate the horse and Lin Jiayi..

Xia Shangzhou’s face was exceptionally pale. Perhaps it was because the horse had used too much force that he had injured the bones in his back. However, he endured the pain and stared at Lin Jiayi for a moment, after which, he forced himself to ask, “T-chief Lin, are you… Are You Alright?”

Lin Jiayi, who was still in a state of shock, shook her head. Before she could say anything, Xia Shangzhou had already pressed down heavily on her body, and there was no response.

..

Xia Shangzhou woke up from the pain. When he opened his eyes, he was already in the hospital. It was quiet all around him, and when he raised his head to look out the window, it was pitch black.

“You’re Awake?”

Lying on the bed, Xia Shangzhou was still unable to wrap his head around the situation when he heard an elegant voice from behind him.

He instinctively wanted to look behind him, but the moment he moved, the pain caused him to suck in a cold breath.

“Your back is injured, don’t move…”

It was that elegant voice again, and then a cup with a straw was handed to him. “Drink some water.”

Xia Shangzhou turned his head and glanced at the person who walked to his side. When he took the cup, he politely thanked her, “Thank you, Miss Xia.”

Xia Sui curled her lips and looked at him thoughtfully, not saying a word.

Xia Shangzhou did not notice Xia Sui’s strange behavior, nor did he drink water. Instead, he asked, “Where’s chief Lin? Chief Lin, she…”

“Jiayi? Jiayi is not well…”

Before Xia Sui could finish her sentence, the cup in Xia Shangzhou’s hand fell to the ground. He supported his injured body and struggled to get up from the bed. “What’s wrong with her? Why is she not well? Is she hurt somewhere?”

Seeing his reaction, Xia Sui hurriedly reached out and pressed on Xia Shangzhou’s shoulder. “Calm down, I’m joking with you. She’s fine, she’s going to…”after some thought.., xia Sui changed her words.”… She’s going to pick up Qin.”

“Oh…”Xia Shangzhou was like a frosted eggplant, instantly wilting. He lay on the bed and did not speak again.

Xia Sui, who had seen all his reactions after he woke up, stared at Xia Shangzhou on the bed for a while and suddenly burst out laughing.

Xia Shangzhou rolled his eyes and glanced at Xia Sui. “What are you laughing at?”

Xia Sui didn’t say anything and continued to laugh. When Xia Shangzhou felt that she was still bored and ignored her, she took two steps towards the bedside and asked bluntly, “You like Jiayi, right?”
