Chapter 144: Chapter 144 His Concern

She pursed her lips and found her voice again, "It’s getting late, I’ll leave if there’s nothing else."

Seeing that he did not respond, Ji Weitian instantly straightened up, puffing out her chest, trying to look as calm as possible as she took steps towards the exit.

Just as she was about to pass him, Qin Nanyu suddenly stretched out his hand to block her, pressing down on her waist.

"Ow, ow, ow!" Ji Weitian couldn’t help but cry out.

What seemed like a normal gait instantly became somewhat skewed.

Her hand instinctively went to her waist, her complexion turned a bit pale as she retreated continuously, eager to avoid Qin Nanyu’s hand.

The chair Qian Min had bumped into her with earlier was struck with a lot of force.

Ji Weitian felt a sharp pain in her waist at that time, but the indignation of being slandered overpowered the pain, and during the contest with Qian Min, her brain was constantly working, and the physical pain was naturally ignored.

It wasn’t until after the contest ended and she was surrounded by people that the pain in her waist became clear.

She felt faint at that moment, clenching her teeth and forcing herself to stand.

She had intended to leave the laboratory and go home to apply some ointment.

Now, Qin Nanyu’s hand on her had left her so much pain that she had no strength even to walk.

She leaned against the edge of the desk, holding her side, gently exhaling.

"Was it Qian Min who bumped into you?" Qin Nanyu took in her reaction, and his voice deepened.

"Huh?"

Ji Weitian was wondering how he could have noticed her waist pain, given he couldn’t have seen Qian Min’s chair hit her from where he was standing at first, when the next second, the noble figure of the man was already in front of her, reaching out to lift the hem of her shirt.

Staring at the gradually darkening bruise on her waist, he knit his brows.

From the second round of the contest, he had noticed something was amiss with her behavior.

Whether she was standing or sitting, her body would unconsciously lean to one side.

Her face also revealed an unusual pallor.

At first, he thought it was the intense mental competition that had exhausted her physically, but after she defeated Qian Min, he was certain that Qian Min’s level posed no challenge to her, so the word "opponent" really didn’t apply.

A competition that was not closely matched shouldn’t have left her unable to sit.

The only possibility was that she was not feeling well.

Combining this with the accidental collision that occurred in the laboratory when he had just arrived... It was not difficult for Qin Nanyu to figure out how she got injured.

He was not sure, however, which is why he had reached out to touch her waist just now.

Seeing her face lose color instantly, a strange feeling swept over Qin Nanyu, and his voice became less domineering.

"Does it hurt a lot?"

Ji Weitian, belatedly snapping back to reality, glared with wide eyes and quickly pulled down her clothing.

She puffed out her cheeks, looking at Qin Nanyu, who was handsy without warning.

"You could have just talked; why did you suddenly lift my clothes?"

Is a girl’s waist something you can just look at casually?

Not content with being a jinx, now he’s acting like a hooligan.

Ji Weitian warily eyed the man before her, her mind flashing to the image of him, drunk, pinning her on the desk without a word of greeting and kissing her.

Now it was broad daylight.

If he dared to act like a hooligan again, she would burst his head!

Qin Nanyu seemed to sense what she was thinking, his dark eyes deepened, and the corners of his lips hooked coldly, "I don’t want you dying in my laboratory and dirtying my floor."

With those words, he stepped forward without much courtesy, scooping up Ji Weitian with one arm and carried her casually out of the room.
