Chapter 87: Chapter 87: I Like You

Wu Xia adjusted his emotions and walked over to the two women.

"Hello, beauty..."

Wu Xia had just started speaking when one of the women widened her eyes in surprise and stared at him: "Wu Xia?"

"Huh?" Wu Xia was taken aback, his face blank, as he had no recollection of the innocent-looking girl before him.

"It’s me, He Wen. Don’t you remember me?" The woman said somewhat joyfully: "From the Nursing Department."

"Ah?" Wu Xia’s mind flashed with an image, and he was utterly surprised. "Ah, I’m sorry, I didn’t recognize you just now. You look like a completely different person without your work clothes."

He Wen had often worked with Wu Xia in the Nursing Department, so the two were quite familiar with each other.

"Hehe!" He Wen laughed softly: "Wu Xia, have you heard?"

"Huang Lei and Xu Xinyan had a mishap. They were caught stealing your research plan. The hospital even said they want to vindicate you and have you come back as the director!"

"Oh!" Wu Xia nodded indifferently, as he had no desire to return to that hospital anymore.

He Wen appeared somewhat awkward, but still spoke enthusiastically: "Wu Xia, did you come here to see us for some reason?"

"That..." Wu Xia found it hard to speak.

If it were a stranger, he could have unabashedly said: "Name your price, stay with me for a night."

But since these were friends of acquaintances, it wouldn’t be right to say that.

"Who is this?"

Ultimately, Wu Xia turned his attention to the seemingly icy beauty.

"Oh." He Wen quickly realized and promptly introduced the beauty: "My good friend, Wang Zhiruo. Did you have something specific to tell me? Don’t worry, Zhiruo and I have grown up together, she knows everything about me, just speak freely."

"I have something to ask her!" Wu Xia said.

"Hmm?"

Both He Wen and Wang Zhiruo were startled.

As Wu Xia thought about how to phrase his words, He Wen spoke up: "Wu Xia, do you need Zhiruo to take care of arrangements for one of your relatives who passed away? That’s no problem, we’re all friends here!"

"Ah?" Wu Xia’s eyes widened: "She’s a funeral director?"

"Yes!" He Wen immediately replied: "Isn’t that why you came looking for her?"

"No!" Wu Xia waved his hand: "I have other matters!"

"What’s the matter, just speak up. Why are you so shy all of a sudden?" He Wen asked incredulously: "We’re all friends here, no need to beat around the bush, that’s being too reserved!"

Wu Xia glanced at Wang Zhiruo’s indifferent face, not wanting to mess up because he said the wrong thing and miss out on this Extreme Yin Body.

"Hey, have you two had dinner yet?" Wu Xia changed the subject: "How about we grab something to eat first, and chat while we eat?"

"Sure!"

He Wen didn’t hesitate at all. From the moment she saw Wu Xia, her eyes lit up with joy and that love-laden longing, eager to spend more time with Wu Xia.

Wu Xia also breathed a sigh of relief and led the two to the restaurant upstairs.

Wang Zhiruo had been silent the whole time, nodding her head at most with a "Hmm."

"Wu Xia, don’t mind it, Zhiruo, due to her occupation, often deals with the deceased, so she doesn’t talk much!"

He Wen explained to Wu Xia: "But she’s really kind-hearted. When I told her about your situation back then, she felt really indignant for you!"

"Oh!" Wu Xia was still pondering how to approach Wang Zhiruo, hardly listening to what He Wen was saying.

"Wu Xia, once you’re back at the hospital as the director, you’ve got to take good care of me!"

He Wen kept talking to herself, but faced with two unresponsive listeners, she found it somewhat embarrassing.

"I’m happy today, how about we have a drink?"

He Wen suggested again.

Wu Xia had a sudden idea: Alcohol-induced recklessness?

"Sure!" He immediately found a solution. It was a bit underhanded but still viable.

After all, sleep first, explain and beg for forgiveness tomorrow morning. At most, he would just spend some money to settle the matter.

However, after the drinks were served, Wang Zhiruo said indifferently, "You guys drink. I’ll drive later!"

He Wen didn’t mind, "Right, she’s driving later. Wu Xia, the two of us can drink!"

"Huh?" Wu Xia was utterly confused but since they had agreed to drink, how could he not now?

He Wen was truly a social butterfly, especially after drinking, she became excessively talkative.

She kept talking about the amusing incidents involving Wu Xia in the hospital, and how the little sister at the nurse station had missed him after he left.

In any case, nine out of ten sentences revolved around Wu Xia.

Only then did Wu Xia belatedly realize the hint: He Wen liked him!

He also finally understood why Wang Zhiruo had been keeping her distance from the very beginning.

It was clearly to draw a clear line, to prevent her good friend from misunderstanding.

"Wu Xia, I’ve actually been missing you a lot during this time."

He Wen, buoyed by the alcohol, confessed to Wu Xia.

Wu Xia shuddered, pretended not to hear, and stood up, "You guys keep eating, I’m going to use the restroom."

After saying that, he quickly got up and ran towards the restroom.

He had intended to draw closer to understand the situation better and see if there were any breakthroughs but ended up trapping himself instead.

As soon as Wu Xia left, He Wen started talking with Wang Zhiruo.

"Zhiruo, you go back on your own, don’t worry about me. I don’t want to miss this opportunity again!"

"Wenwen, are you really sure? I always feel he is a bit odd, especially the way he looks at me!"

"Wu Xia is not that kind of person. I believe in him. I liked him from the moment I met him, and I’ve been thinking about him for over a year. Now that fate has brought us back together, I can’t miss this chance again!"

"Zhiruo, even if I end up at a disadvantage tonight, I’ll accept it. At least I can put my heart to rest!"

"Don’t worry, you go ahead. Once you’re gone, maybe he’ll stop being so awkward!"

Wu Xia heard all this conversation clearly. Although he had intended to use the restroom to think things through, he no longer felt like going and hurried back.

If Wang Zhiruo left, his being with He Wen would lose all meaning.

Wang Zhiruo was about to get up when Wu Xia walked back in.

"Wu Xia, Zhiruo has some matters to attend to, so she’ll leave first. Let’s eat slowly!"

He Wen quickly explained.

Wu Xia’s expression was stern, and he clenched his teeth.

If he cast a spell now to make them sleep, explaining tomorrow would be the same.

But he couldn’t bring himself to harm these innocent people.

Finally, Wu Xia said gravely, "He Wen, I’m married!"

Boom!

"What?"

He Wen’s eyes widened, staring at Wu Xia in disbelief, "How is that possible? You broke up with Xu Xinyan not long ago, how could you be married?"

"Wu Xia, you’re lying to me, right?"

"If you’re married, why did you intentionally come to flirt with me?"

Wu Xia clenched his teeth, his gaze intense as he looked at Wang Zhiruo, "Because of her!"

"She has a rare Extreme Yin Body, and my elder brother has an Extreme Yang Body. I wanted her help to treat my brother’s illness."

"Treat an illness?" Both He Wen and Wang Zhiruo were puzzled.

"What’s so hard about treating an illness? Why are you hesitating?" He Wen showed a bitter smile, "Wu Xia, just speak plainly, don’t beat around the bush anymore!"

Wu Xia no longer hid the truth, "The ’treatment’ I’m talking about isn’t normal treatment. It involves exchanging energies through making love!"

Boom!

"What?"
