Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Afraid of the Cold

In the hospital room, Assistant Lin tactfully stepped out.

An Yin didn’t really feel the atmosphere was a bit strange, and boldly looked at the man, "You shouldn’t have spoken like that just now."

"Like what?" Bao Shaojin examined the small bottle of medicine in his hand, not in a hurry to apply it for her.

"It’s just... that line you said to Gu Qingyun, ’Do you have anything else?’ It sounded like you were trying to chase him away." An Yin kindly reminded him.

Pure as she was, she assumed Bao Shaojin hadn’t said it intentionally.

"Tch..." Bao Shaojin sneered lightly, noticing the sincerity in the young girl’s eyes. Was she trying to teach him how to speak?

His gaze was deep, lips tightly pursed, remaining silent.

His gaze was too sharp, causing An Yin to quickly avoid it, looking elsewhere.

He didn’t speak, so An Yin assumed he was listening and softly said, "Next time remember not to make such a mistake, people come with goodwill to see me, we shouldn’t be impolite."

Where he should have been angry, Bao Shaojin’s rising temper instantly extinguished when he heard the word "we."

"Don’t blink!" Bao Shaojin raised the medicine, reminding the young girl.

After he spoke, An Yin nervously clutched the bedsheet with both hands, her bright eyes staring at the ceiling.

At this moment, a man’s cold fingers covered her eye sockets to prevent her from blinking.

His fingertips were cold, and when they touched her face, An Yin shivered slightly in a cold tremor.

"Cold?" Bao Shaojin looked at her delicately and timidly staring at him, as she shrank lower when he touched her soft skin, as if his hands were ice.

"Your hands are a bit cold, I’m afraid of the cold!"

After a while, An Yin finally squeezed out a sentence.

Bao Shaojin withdrew his hand, placing the medicine back on the bedside table, "Wait a moment."

After speaking, he turned and walked towards the bathroom.

An Yin watched the man’s proud and tall figure, slightly lost in thought.

Since she was hospitalized, he came to see her every day and stayed for half a day, which puzzled An Yin—why was he so kind to her?

In his mind, her identity was Bao Cheng’s "girlfriend," even considering Bao Cheng, he had no reason to take care of her!

With these thoughts in mind, An Yin lay anxiously.

Until the man returned to her side.

"Do you walk without making a sound?" An Yin looked at the man sitting on the hospital bed, dazed.

The cluttered thoughts in her mind made her feel blocked until she saw the man, and her heart inexplicably panicked.

Bao Shaojin did not refute her; clearly, she was too engrossed in her thoughts to notice even when he stood in front of her, "Lie down, it’s time for the eye drops."

An Yin obediently lay down again.

When the man’s hand touched her upper eyelid, An Yin’s heart fluttered.

His hand was warm.

So, did he just wash his hands with warm water in the bathroom?

Just as An Yin was lost in thought, the cold eye drops dripped into her pupil, making her blink a few times.

Bao Shaojin waited for her to adjust before administering drops in the other eye.

In less than two minutes, it was done.

After returning the eye drops to their place, Bao Shaojin did not get up, still sitting by the bed.

An Yin placed her hands under the covers, her eyes wandering randomly, not daring to meet the man’s gaze.

"An Yin."

Bao Shaojin’s voice was deep.

His voice seemed to have a magical power, piercing through An Yin’s heart, making her look at the man despite her tense nerves.

"What?" Why did he call her name so seriously?

An Yin didn’t realize, but her spoken words trembled lightly, and the fear on her face was evident at a glance.

"From now on, don’t interact with that man." Bao Shaojin’s deep eyes fell heavily on her fair face.

"Why?"

An Yin looked clueless.

Bao Shaojin did not continue but his gaze flickered with a bit of menace, drawing An Yin in, causing a flash of panic in her heart.

She tightly grabbed the quilt, covering herself up to her chin, turning her head to avoid the man’s line of sight.

He always inadvertently uttered some domineering words without any explanation, as if she was his possession and had to obediently comply!

Perhaps overthinking, she felt her head heavy, and amidst the man’s intense gaze, drifted off to sleep.

When Shen Jingrou pushed open the hospital room door and walked in, she saw Bao Shaojin sitting upright by the bed, one hand gently caressing An Yin’s cheek, and the next second, Shen Jingrou watched as he carefully tucked loose hair behind An Yin’s ear.

In her hand was some dessert, which she placed on the table before sitting in a nearby soft chair.

Bao Shaojin’s hearing had always been keen; from the moment Shen Jingrou entered the room, he knew who it was, yet he did not hide his actions.

"Big brother, are you serious?"

In the quiet hospital room, Shen Jingrou’s face showed a hint of worry, deliberately lowering her voice.

Despite no answer for a long time, Shen Jingrou was not anxious, quietly waiting.

"What do you want to say?" Bao Shaojin looked at the peacefully sleeping little girl, yet his words were heavy.

"I’m just worried..." Shen Jingrou lowered her gaze, her tone tinged with sadness, "Is it true that she is Bao Cheng’s girlfriend?" Before, Shen Jingrou had asked An Yin if she had a boyfriend, and An Yin’s answer was no; perhaps at the time, the little girl was just shy!

"Yes." Bao Shaojin’s eyes were gloomy.

Shen Jingrou’s heart sank.

Shen Jingrou had heard rumors about what kind of person Bao Cheng was. After all, they all socialized in the same circles, and in past events, the female companions he brought were never the same, indicating his casual attitude toward relationships.

An Yin was pure and kind, yet unexpectedly her choice in boyfriends was...

"Since you know she’s Bao Cheng’s girlfriend, why are you... getting involved with her?" Shen Jingrou deliberated her words.

Though she hadn’t known An Yin for long, she already regarded her as a sister to protect.

"Jingrou, don’t concern yourself with this matter."

His words carried a few degrees of authority.

Moreover, he never used such a severe tone with her.

Therefore, his feelings for An Yin must be serious.

Shen Jingrou did not know the extent of Bao Shaojin’s feelings for An Yin, but so far, his affection undoubtedly ran deep!

"I just fear An Yin will get hurt." She voiced her worries.

"With me around, she won’t come to harm."

These words seemed to be spoken as much to Shen Jingrou as to himself.

After all, in the Bao Family, there were numerous precedents of being blinded by emotions, usually ending quite tragically!

"I hope Big Brother will remember what you said today."

Shen Jingrou replied.

When Bao Shaojin uttered "she won’t come to harm," Shen Jingrou’s mind flashed with the face of Bao Xun, recalling how the once high-spirited young man had also fervently declared his love, and what came of it?
