Chapter 2968 Did the two of them get together?
Charlene looked confused and surprised.
She tilted her head slightly and asked, "What are you laughing at? Why...why are you looking at me like that?"
Aaron tried hard to suppress his laughter, but the corners of his mouth still couldn't help but turn up.
He asked softly, "Haven't you seen the news online? Your main account..."
Seeing that he was about to let something slip, and fearing that Xia Lin would be embarrassed and want to jump out of the car, Shi Ye immediately interrupted, "You go back to the club first, I'll take her back."
You've worked hard these past few days, go back and get some rest.
Aaron instantly understood Shino's intention.
I understand that he didn't want to expose this matter, probably because he was afraid that Xia Lin's sister would be embarrassed.
So he forced down his smile and nodded, "Okay, no problem."
Charlene noticed that the interaction between the two seemed a bit strange, and their words and actions revealed a hint of oddness.
But she didn't think about it too deeply at the moment.
After a while, the car arrived at the research institute and came to a steady stop in front of the gate.
Once inside, Lu Yanjue was busy in the laboratory, while Shah Rukh was there.
Early in the morning, he heard from Marcy that Charlene had been injured while protecting Shi Ye.
Seeing Xia Lin come in, he couldn't help but show a worried expression, his words filled with the care of an elder.
He not only carefully examined Xia Lin's injuries, but also specially found some medicine and gently instructed her to come for check-ups and dressing changes on time to avoid scarring.
Then, with a hint of reproach but also full of affection, he said, "Next time you encounter this situation, don't be so impulsive."
Shi Ye is tough and thick-skinned, and being a boy, a few injuries are no big deal for him.
You're different; as a girl, there's no need for you to shield him from harm.
Upon hearing this, Xia Lin shook her head without hesitation and replied firmly, "That won't do! Shi Ye's hands are very precious; they can't be injured."
Shah Rukh chuckled, "You little rascal, you're quite considerate of others."
But you should know that your hands are important too!
If your parents see you injured when you go back this time, it will be difficult to explain.
I'll call them later and apologize properly.
Upon hearing this, Xia Lin hurriedly waved her hand and declined, saying, "No need, Uncle, you're being too polite."
Protecting Shi Ye was something she did willingly.
Shi Ye spoke up, his tone gentle yet firm: "I'll go, I'll take her home anyway, since I'm going that way."
I will personally explain the situation to my uncle and aunt at that time and make sure everything is clear.
After listening, Shah Rukh pondered for a moment and felt that the arrangement was appropriate.
She was injured while protecting him.
He went to explain it himself, which showed more sincerity.
So Shah Rukh nodded in agreement: "Alright then, you must make sure you get the person home safely."
We need to take good care of her going forward, at least until she is fully healed.
Did you hear me?
Shi Ye nodded solemnly and replied, "Okay, I understand."
Then we won't bother you any longer and will head back now.
Charlene gave a slight bow, a polite smile on her face, and said goodbye, "Goodbye, Uncle."
Shah Rukh smiled and replied, "Okay, be careful on your journey."
If you feel unwell, please contact me anytime.
His tone was kind, carrying the care of an elder and a doctor.
Charlene smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Afterwards, Shino took the medicine and went home with his men.
When I entered, both of Xia's parents were home.
They were sitting in the living room watching TV when they suddenly heard the sound of the door lock turning.
The two elderly people looked up and saw that it was their daughter returning, with Shi Ye following behind her.
The two were taken aback.
They then exchanged a glance and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Xia's mother was the first to react, and a warm smile immediately appeared on her face.
She stood up to greet him, saying, "Shi Ye is here? Come in and have a seat!"
That girl is really something. Why did she suddenly bring you back today without giving me any warning?
Could it be... that the two of them got together?
She was suspicious.
Charlene approached and spoke apologetically to the two elders about her injury.
Upon hearing that their daughter was injured, the elderly couple immediately became anxious, and their smiles instantly turned into worry.
Xia's mother quickly stepped forward and took her daughter's hand, asking repeatedly, "Are you hurt? Where are you hurt? How serious is it?"
Let Mom see this quickly!
"You silly child, why did you keep everything from us? Why didn't you tell us sooner!"
There was a hint of reproach in her words, but more than that, there was worry and heartache.
Xia's mother's gaze moved slowly, taking in every detail from her daughter's hair to her toes.
She asked again, "Does it hurt?"
Charlene shook her head. "It's alright, it doesn't hurt much."
At this moment, Shi Ye, who was standing to the side, spoke up at the right time, his tone sincere and apologetic: "Uncle and Aunt, I'm really sorry, Xia Lin did this to protect me."
This was the first time the two elders had met Shi Ye in a relatively formal manner. Upon hearing this, they immediately asked with concern, "What exactly happened? How did you get injured?"
Tokino gave a brief explanation of the situation at the time.
He said, "There was a problem with the prop; it accidentally fell off the shelf. Charlene did that to protect me."
Xia's mother suddenly realized, "Oh, I see!"
She naturally felt sorry for her daughter, but she could also understand why she did this.
The situation was critical at the time, and Tokino didn't pay attention, which might have made things worse.
Xia's father patted Shi Ye on the shoulder and comforted him, "You don't need to take it too hard. It's not really your fault. It's just that the staff of your program crew were too careless."
How could you be so careless about something as safe as this?
Xia's mother added, "Yes, fortunately the problem isn't too serious."
She then added, "However, the incident happened yesterday. You should have notified us earlier so we could have come and taken a look sooner."
Charlene explained softly, "Actually, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I was just afraid you would be too anxious if you found out."
Moreover, since the problem wasn't serious, I was thinking of telling you all when I got back.
If the situation had really gotten worse, we would have notified you immediately.
The two elders shook their heads helplessly.
Xia's mother sighed and said, "Since you're already injured, don't cause any more trouble. It's the right thing to do is to rest at home."
Don't go to the production crew either; your health is the most important thing.
Shi Ye quickly replied, his tone firm, "Don't worry, I've already helped her cancel the subsequent filming."
As for her injury, I will take care of her until she is fully recovered.
The two elders unconsciously exchanged another glance, their eyes filled with knowing smiles.
They had known their daughter's thoughts for a long time.
Moreover, they quite liked Tokino.
This might be a good opportunity for her daughter to win him over.
Xia's mother said gently, "Alright, then I'll trouble you to take care of it."
Shi Ye, it's rare for you to come all this way, why don't you stay for lunch at my place and try my cooking?
"You two rest well, I'll go prepare the meal right away."
