Chapter 570 - Charity Dinner

Chapter 570: Chapter 582: Charity DinnerLi Yifei carried Michelle for some tests, and the final result was a relief for both Li Yifei and Michelle. It was just a muscle strain, and she would be fine with a few days of rest.

However, these few days, Michelle definitely couldn’t move around freely.

The machinery company felt very sorry and even bought some things for Michelle, yet she didn’t mind at all. It was just an accident caused entirely by a taxi cutting lanes and speeding.

Moreover, even though she had twisted her ankle, Li Yifei had been carrying her around the hospital, which left her with an indescribable feeling of happiness.

Back at the hotel, Li Yifei carried Michelle directly to her room and then placed her on the bed. Li Yifei wanted to keep Michelle company, but at that moment, Michelle said to Li Yifei, "Brother Li, can you leave for now?"

"Me leave? You’re on your own?" Li Yifei looked at Michelle, puzzled.

"I’ll be fine on my own, really, you don’t need to." Michelle’s face turned red, and she urged him anxiously, "Brother Li, please go out."

Li Yifei didn’t know what Michelle was up to, but since a girl was asking him to leave, lingering around would seem like he had ulterior motives. So, he stood up and walked out, but just as he reached the doorway and hadn’t closed the door yet, he heard a cry of alarm from inside. He quickly turned around and walked back in, only to see Michelle fallen on the ground, supporting herself with her hands, a pained expression on her face.

"What did you do? How are you?" Li Yifei rushed over and immediately picked Michelle up.

"I... I’m okay." Michelle allowed Li Yifei to pick her up, a sensation very different from being carried on his back, which made her so embarrassed she couldn’t lift her head.

"Oh, I get it, do you need to use the bathroom?" Li Yifei suddenly realized and immediately asked.

Michelle buried her head into Li Yifei’s chest, whimpering and not answering, which was as good as a confirmation.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but smile, saying, "You, if you wanted to go to the bathroom, you should’ve said so earlier, why make me go out?" Li Yifei carried Michelle straight to the bathroom.

"Brother Li..." Michelle saw Li Yifei carrying her in and felt completely flustered.

Li Yifei laughed, "Don’t worry, I’ll carry you in, then you can manage on your own, and afterwards, I’ll carry you back out. I won’t peep, so what’s there to be embarrassed about?"

Michelle’s face turned even redder, letting Li Yifei carry her to the bathroom, after which he set her down by the toilet and directly walked out.

At that moment, Michelle didn’t care if Li Yifei was outside, hurriedly pulled down her pants to relieve herself, but after she was finished, she was so mortified she wished she could disappear into a crack in the floor. Pulling up her pants, she felt too embarrassed to call for Li Yifei.

"Are you done?" Li Yifei asked from the doorway.

Michelle felt even more embarrassed, just as she had pulled up her pants, and Li Yifei asked, which meant he might have heard everything from outside—this was truly embarrassing. But still, she meekly answered.

Li Yifei immediately opened the door and walked in, picking up Michelle again, saying, "See, still embarrassed about it? Everyone has emergencies, it’s all normal. Besides, when you go to the restroom usually, there are often shared entrances for men and women, haven’t you encountered men before?"

"But... but..." Michelle couldn’t really articulate anything, just feeling embarrassed about having Li Yifei wait outside while she was relieving herself.

"There’s no ’but’. I came out with you; you’re hurt, how could I not take care of you?" Li Yifei said with a smile as he placed Michelle on the bed.

Michelle lay on the bed, her face red, not daring to look at Li Yifei.

"Alright, you’re the patient now, and I’m here to take care of you. There’s not much else to it. Do you want to do something else? Shall I turn on the TV and watch something together?"

"Okay," Michelle agreed.

Li Yifei turned on the TV, then returned and set up the pillows on the bed, helping Michelle lean against them. This was more comfortable.

This time, Michelle didn’t refuse Li Yifei, letting him do as he pleased, occasionally stealing glances at him. The feeling of being cared for by Li Yifei filled her with immense happiness. She didn’t know how many times she secretly dreamt of what it would be like to be together with Li Yifei. Today, her dreams suddenly came true so unexpectedly that she felt completely at a loss.

"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Li Yifei asked Michelle with a smile.

"Ah!" Caught by Li Yifei, Michelle was immensely embarrassed.

Li Yifei couldn’t help but laugh heartily. Sometimes Michelle was very bold, like when she had openly waited for him in front of many people when he had an accident. Yet, when alone with him, she became so shy, truly an adorable girl.

Li Yifei’s laughter made Michelle even more bashful, and she gave him a light hit, chiding, "Brother Li, you’re so bad, teasing me."

Li Yifei stopped laughing, his eyes crinkling with mirth, "How could I tease you, Little Snow, when you’re this cute?"

"Then why... were you smiling so happily just now?"

"Just seeing you like this makes me feel happy. Now, be good and watch some TV. I’ll stay here and take care of you tonight."

"Ah? You... you’re staying here tonight too?" Michelle’s eyes widened as she looked at Li Yifei, an anxiousness in her gaze.

"What are you thinking?" Li Yifei gently tapped on Michelle’s head and laughed, "I said I’ll take care of you until you fall asleep. Once you’re asleep, I’ll go back and sleep."

Michelle’s face turned as red as an apple, and she stuttered, "Brother Li, I... I... I didn’t mean anything else."

"I know, no need to be embarrassed. If you need to use the bathroom tonight, just call me and I’ll come over to help you."

"Mhm!" Michelle softly replied, feeling enveloped in happiness.

The two watched TV for a while. Li Yifei even poured water for Michelle and prepared some fruit for her, taking care of her with extraordinary attention to detail.

"Brother Li, Sister Yingying is so lucky." After eating half a mango, Michelle looked at Li Yifei.

"Why do you say that?" Li Yifei asked with a smile.

Michelle, basking in the moment, said, "You’re so caring. Of course, Yingying is lucky. Nowadays, very few boys care for others like you do. They’re mostly very self-centered."

"Heh, I’m just putting on an act. If I had to take care of someone every day, I couldn’t handle it."

"I don’t believe that. Brother Li, when you care for someone, everything is so natural. There’s not a bit of reluctance. Besides, just being this caring is impressive. A few classmates of mine told me that when they were sick, their boyfriends hardly took notice of them and just played video games."

"Then it seems I really am a decent man, huh? You’ve given me quite a confidence boost there."

Michelle let out a laugh, saying, "Of course, Brother Li is definitely a top-tier good man. Whoever marries you will be truly blessed. I’m really envious of Sister Yingying."

"Heh, you’re a good girl too. You’ll find a better man to take care of you someday."

Michelle’s eyes suddenly filled with melancholy as she said softly, "That won’t be easy. There aren’t many men as good as Brother Li."

Li Yifei didn’t quite dare to continue on this topic, well aware of Michelle’s feelings for him. He quickly changed the subject, "By the way, we haven’t had dinner yet. What would you like to eat? I’ll go buy it for you."

Michelle knew Li Yifei was deliberately changing the subject. Though she was incredibly fond of Li Yifei, she didn’t want to make him feel awkward, so she too smiled and said, "Brother Li, do you agree to anything I want to eat?"

Li Yifei patted his chest and said, "Of course, you’re the patient here. Today, your wish is my command, whatever you want to eat, I’ll get it for you."

A mischievous glint appeared in Michelle’s eyes, "Then I want to taste the food you cook."

Li Yifei paused for a moment, then stood up and said, "Then wait here."

Seeing Li Yifei really about to leave, Michelle quickly said, "I was just joking with you. Anything you buy is fine; I’m not picky."

Li Yifei smiled at Michelle and said, "Just wait here." Then he left the room.

Michelle waited in the room for a full hour without seeing Li Yifei, which made her anxious. She wondered why it was taking him so long to buy dinner.

Being alone with Li Yifei was a rare opportunity, and every minute was precious to her. However, with Li Yifei not returning, she didn’t feel right urging him to hurry.

As she lay on the bed struggling with the wait, there was a knock on the door. Michelle was about to ask who it was when the door was pushed open, and a hotel service cart was wheeled in.

"Ah! Brother Li! What... why did you buy so much?" Seeing that the person pushing the cart was Li Yifei, Michelle was overjoyed. Upon noticing there were seven or eight covered dishes on the cart, she couldn’t help but ask.

Li Yifei laughed, "Little Snow wanted to taste my cooking, so of course, I had to make several dishes for you. I even borrowed the hotel’s kitchen."

"Ah? You actually made all of this by hand?" As Michelle spoke, her eyes suddenly moistened.

Li Yifei wheeled the cart to the center of the room, then came over to lift Michelle up, seating her by the cart. He then uncovered the dishes one by one and said, "I really didn’t know what you’d prefer, so I made a variety of dishes, both meat and vegetables. Let’s see if they suit your taste."

"Brother Li..." Michelle looked at Li Yifei and let out a low cry, then stretched out her arms and tightly hugged Li Yifei’s waist.
