After being discharged from the hospital, Chen Ziming took Su Yue back home.
Although she had woken up, she was still in a state of dizziness, unable to recall anything and her reactions were sluggish.
However, when she saw him carrying her to her doorstep, setting her down, and then expecting her to enter the password,
She still thought for a moment, then as she entered the password, she slowly said, "You're finally willing to come home with me."
"Be serious." The man frowned as he heard the continuous error messages.
"Oh..." Su Yue held onto him, took a deep breath, and with trembling fingers, carefully pressed a few buttons.
It finally worked.
She pressed her fingerprint again, and the door finally opened.
Chen Ziming picked her up again, placed her on the sofa, and made sure she was sitting comfortably before turning to the kitchen to boil water.
Su Yue's head was swimming, lying there with an empty mind.
It wasn't until the water was brought to her face and he fed her a few sips.
"I don't want to drink anymore." When he offered it for the fourth time, Su Yue turned her head away, avoiding it.
"Do you need to go to the restroom?" Chen Ziming put down the water cup, observed her expression, and asked.
"Yes, and I want to take a bath," she said, pouting.
Director Chen narrowed his eyes, observing her expression.
"But I definitely can't wash myself," she lowered her eyelids and continued to mumble, "Someone has to help me wash."
A light chuckle was her response.
Then, with a gentle voice, he said, "Okay, I'll wash you."
A look of surprise gradually appeared on Su Yue's face.
"Not bad, you're not completely foolish." He patted the top of her head.
The girl who was patted was stunned for a moment before she reacted.
Frowning and pursing her lips, she grumbled unhappily.
...
During the bath, Director Chen found it quite troublesome.
Before, it was he who was unruly during bath time.
Now, it was her turn.
"I want you to wash my hair," she said coquettishly, tilting her face up.
But the water splashed onto her face, and she froze for a moment, quickly closing her eyes and mouth.
"I'll wash it for you, don't move around," Chen Ziming frowned, moved the showerhead away, squeezed shampoo into his palm, and began to lather her hair.
"Why aren't you taking off your clothes?" she said unhappily, as if she had discovered something important.
He indeed hadn't taken off his clothes.
Instead, he had her sit on a stool in the shower and was washing her with the showerhead.
"I'll wash myself later," he said as he rubbed her hair, his eyes involuntarily glancing downwards.
How did it seem to have gotten bigger again...
His Adam's apple bobbed, and he quickly averted his gaze.
"I don't have your clothes here," she said, eyes closed, afraid of the bubbles getting in.
She added, "After you finish washing, you can throw your clothes into the washing machine on the balcony, but then you'll have no clothes to wear."
Chen Ziming: ...
"You can't fit into my clothes either..."
"I've arranged for someone to bring some," he interrupted her, unable to listen any longer.
Su Yue was stunned for a few more seconds.
She let out a rather disappointed "Oh."
After washing her hair, Chen Ziming picked up her facial cleanser, squeezed a bit onto his hand, and began to wash her face.
His movements were gentle, and the girl opened her eyes.
The dazed look in her eyes, clearly not fully awake, made the man's heart tighten.
Only he knew how furious this incident had made him.
He had smoked two whole boxes of cigarettes last night.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to control his trembling body from anger.
The police station's overnight interrogation revealed that Vice Director Guo and Liang Heshan had pre-arranged it, with the goal of luring Su Yue into Liang Heshan's bed.
Liang Heshan had even confessed that the deputy director had begged him to "share the pleasure."
The tranquilizer used was Gamma-hydroxybutyrate, which was colorless and odorless, and could render a person unconscious within ten minutes of consumption.
If last night.
She hadn't been prepared in time...
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
The words spoken at Director Zhu's house also replayed in his mind.
"Director Chen, rest assured, I will not tolerate such incidents and will investigate thoroughly." Director Zhu said righteously.
"I hope Director Zhu will keep his word." His expression was extremely somber as he interlaced his fingers, playing with his ring.
As Director Zhu was about to make another vow, he preempted him:
"Your station's atmosphere does need to be rectified, but what I need you to guarantee is that Su Yue will not be harmed in any way."
"If that happens."
"I don't mind making all of this public."
"At that time, the reputation and credibility of the television station, and your position as director, will be at stake."
Chen Ziming rarely threatened others.
But whenever it concerned Su Yue.
He was willing to resort to any means.
