Why did he suddenly find Lin Yi a bit scary?
Xu Zheng hastily finished packing and left.
Once he was out of the villa, he breathed a sigh of relief and sent a message in their circle's WeChat group, "Guess who I saw at the Huo residence tonight..."
Lin Yi stayed alone in the bedroom for a while, looking up at the drops of liquid falling from the IV tube.
Just then, there was a sound at the door.
Turning his head, Lin Yi saw that it was Huo Jihan entering.
Even dressed in simple loungewear, Huo Jihan exuded a powerful and icy aura.
Despite the summer heat, he seemed to emit coldness, lowering the surrounding temperature enough to make one shiver.
It was already past two in the morning, and Lin Yi didn't expect Huo Jihan to still be awake. He asked instinctively, "Mr. Huo, you haven't gone to bed yet?"
Huo Jihan said in a deep voice, "Just checking."
He came to Lin Yi's bedside and glanced at the IV bottle.
Lin Yi quickly said, "It's fine, you should go to sleep. I can pull out the needle myself."
After all, he just played around every day, and even if he went to bed late, he could still sleep in.
But Huo Jihan was different, managing such a large corporation; he must be incredibly busy every day.
Lin Yi having said this, Huo Jihan simply replied, "No problem."
Lin Yi: "..."
Well, okay then.
Huo Jihan wasn't one to talk much, and once Lin Yi fell silent, the bedroom became quiet.
Lin Yi thought that since Huo Jihan had come to visit him, he should start looking for topics: "By the way, Mr. Huo, when I left the bedroom earlier, were you still busy with work?"
Huo Jihan nodded: "I was handling some documents."
Lin Yi was impressed: "You're amazing; it's almost unfair!"
Being surpassed by someone who works harder than you is an indescribable experience.
Fortunately, Lin Yi only needed to be a carefree slacker in this life.
At this moment, Huo Jihan looked at Lin Yi and said: "You're pretty impressive too."
Lin Yi was a bit surprised: "Huh?"
Had he shown any remarkable abilities recently?
Not really; he had completely given up in this life.
At this moment, Huo Jihan said slowly: "You can eat three ice creams in one go."
"Pfft, cough, cough..."
Lin Yi nearly choked.
Was Huo Jihan complimenting him or insulting him?
The problem was that Huo Jihan always had a poker face and a monotone voice, making it impossible to tell his emotions.
But Lin Yi guessed that Huo Jihan was probably insulting him.
He didn't expect Huo Jihan's insults to be so subtle.
Lin Yi silently pulled the blanket up, pretending to be sleepy, and didn't respond to Huo Jihan.
Fortunately, Huo Jihan didn't call him out on it.
Soon, Lin Yi's IV bag was almost empty.
Seeing this, he tried to remove the needle himself, but because of the inconvenience of using one hand, some blood flowed back.
