Rao Jie was a bit afraid of him, worried that he might misunderstand her as ungrateful and waste his help, so she quickly started to explain. "I didn't cook this morning. I was supposed to stay home, but I had reserved a spot in the library for my graduate exam preparation. I hadn't been there for over a day, and my spot was cleared, along with my belongings. They notified me to come pick them up, which is why I came to get my books. After that, I'll go back and rest."
Rao Jie felt a bit anxious, her face slightly flushed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She still looked unwell.
Wu Rong frowned. "Come with me; I'm heading back anyway!"
Rao Jie was startled and momentarily at a loss. Previously, Wu Rong had clearly been unwilling to give her a ride even if it was on the way.
Wu Rong turned to leave but didn't notice that Rao Jie had followed him. When he looked back and saw her still standing in place, he thought it was because her backpack was too heavy.
After hesitating for a moment, he walked back toward Rao Jie. In her almost dazed gaze, he went around behind her and directly grabbed the strap of her backpack. With a tug, the bag slipped off Rao Jie's shoulder.
Rao Jie felt the weight that had been pressing down on her suddenly disappear.
Before she could react, she saw Wu Rong already carrying her backpack and walking ahead.
Rao Jie swallowed hard, pushing down a strange feeling before hurriedly catching up with Wu Rong's pace. As they passed Chang Fei, neither of them noticed the girl.
...
Wu Rong was very strong; carrying the bag with one hand seemed effortless for him. When they reached the car, he simply tossed it into the back seat.
Once they were on the road, Rao Jie suddenly remembered something and exclaimed, "Ah!"
"What?" Wu Rong asked impatiently; he didn't like people shouting unexpectedly.
Feeling embarrassed, Rao Jie turned to look at Wu Rong and said, "Professor Wu... I... I think I need to go to the hospital around this time."
Just as they reached a red light, Wu Rong stopped the car and turned to look at Rao Jie with an expressionless face.
Rao Jie felt even more frightened; this was scarier than when Wu Rong was being grumpy!
She quickly waved her hands in denial. "I... I didn't mean for you to take me there! Really! I just wanted to mention it. Could you please let me off at the next intersection? I can go by myself. Could you please take my backpack back for me?"
As she spoke, she didn't dare look up at Wu Rong's face, appearing as if she had done something wrong. She felt foolish; she should have mentioned this before getting in the car. The earlier situation had surprised her so much that she hadn't reacted in time.
Just as Rao Jie was filled with regret and anxiety, the green light turned on.
The car that should have gone straight suddenly swerved left.
That was the way to the hospital.
On the first day, it was a coincidence, but on the second day, Wu Rong didn't go out of his way to take Rao Jie to the hospital; he only brought her meals during his return at noon and in the evening.
Rao Jie was very grateful for this. At that moment, she also realized that Wu Rong couldn't cook at all. When he was occasionally busy, he would rely on instant meals from the refrigerator. She had never seen him clean either. So during these few days, Rao Jie took the initiative to handle the cleaning tasks.
She specifically asked Wu Xin about Wu Rong's taboos, and Wu Xin thought Rao Jie was planning to stay here long-term, happily sharing the information with her.
Even with some mental preparation, Rao Jie was still taken aback by Wu Rong's many requirements. Fortunately, she was naturally meticulous and enjoyed cleaning and doing housework, so she didn't find it troublesome; she just needed to carefully avoid certain taboos.
