Sister, come on, I'll carry you on my back.

  Look at the "bus"???? Gu XiXi could only rely on Lin Hao's body weight, doing a one-legged jumping exercise. When she saw the notice in front of the elevator, she suddenly had an urge to burst into tears.

  The property actually turned off the elevator after 12 o'clock at night for the convenience of early maintenance!

  Good heavens! Must it be like this?!

  Gu Xixi didn't go downstairs and didn't pay attention to the notices posted on the corridors. When she went out, it was less than 10 minutes before 12 o'clock. When she came back from her night stroll, the lights were naturally turned off!

  Gu Xixi lives on the 12th floor, originally taking the stairs as exercise and also good for digestion after meals. However, now her foot is sprained! Even walking on flat ground requires Lin Hao to carefully support her, let alone the 12 floors!

  Lin Hao followed Gu Xianxian's gaze to the red notice, and proactively squatted down in front of her: "Senior, come on, I'll carry you!"

  "Are you carrying me?" Gu Xixi's expression was hesitant: "This doesn't seem quite right!" Just thinking about it, she imagined herself lying on Lin Hao's broad back, being carried up the stairs by him, with intimate contact, her pretty face couldn't help but flush red.

  "What's wrong?" Lin Hao blinked his beautiful, deep black eyes, "It's still better than you hopping on one foot all the way up to the 12th floor!"

  Gu Xixi's mouth twitched, "This old body of mine can't handle such intense jumping exercises."

  "Even if you're doing it right, what's with the high heels on the stairs in the middle of the night, thudding and jumping around? Isn't that scary?" Lin Hao teased, responding to Gu Xixi's words. "Sister, spraining your ankle isn't your fault, but causing a paranormal event and scaring others because of it, that's not right."

  Gu Xixi bit her lip and fell silent for a moment.

  "Alright, alright, come on up." Lin Hao urged impatiently once again: "I'll get your injury treated quickly, I still have to go home and pack my luggage, I'm leaving early tomorrow morning."

  "I..." Gu Qianqian hesitated,

  "Sister, if you don't want me to carry you on my back and you also don't want to jump up the stairs, then there's one last way!" Lin Hao raised his flying eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Do you want to know?"

  "What?" asked Gu Xixi without hesitation.

  "I'll carry you up," Lin Hao said calmly. "Don't worry, I'm quite strong and can definitely make it to the 12th floor."

  Gu Xianxian frowned, shaking her head without hesitation: "No." In an instant, the image of Lin Hao holding her in his arms appeared in her mind, and Gu Xianxian couldn't help but feel a flush on her face. She couldn't even accept being held from behind, let alone anything more ambiguous.

  "Sister, are you going to sit here at the entrance of the building and wait for daylight before going up after the elevator is repaired?"

  "Come here, carry me." Gu Xianxian tried her best to keep her emotions calm and serene, but at this moment, only she knew that her heartbeat was accelerating with inexplicable tension.

  "Be careful." Lin Hao bent down and reminded Gu Xixi, who was reluctantly climbing onto his back, "Hold onto my neck."

  Gu Xixi reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, her cheeks burning hot. Her ex-boyfriend Wang Zihua used to be affectionate with her like this when they were together, but since their breakup, Gu Xixi never thought she'd let another man carry her on his back again. One floor after another, he panted and climbed up to the 12th floor.

  Lin Hao dragged Gu Qianqian steadily and panted: "Sister, give me your house key."

  Gu Qianqian hastily rummaged through her bag and handed the key to Lin Hao, "Let me down, I can stand." Standing on one foot was still more comfortable for Gu Qianqian than leaning against Lin Hao.

  "Alright, stand up straight and lean against the wall." Lin Hao turned around and carefully put Gu Qianqian down from his back, only then did he wipe the sweat off his forehead.

  She looked at his shiny forehead, and the fine beads of sweat on the tip of his nose. In her heart, there was an indescribable feeling, strange, as if moved, yet seemingly more heart-pounding... But this moment's feeling was too complex, so much so that Gu Xiangxiang couldn't clearly distinguish what kind of feeling it was.

  Lin Hao opened Gu Qianqian's home door, carefully supported her into the house, and then settled her on the sofa, immediately starting to busy herself.

  First, she boiled a pot of scalding hot water in the kitchen, poured it into a basin, wrung out a towel and put it in, then scooped it out with the scalding heat, squatted down, blew on it a few times to test the temperature, before applying the hot compress to Gu Xiangxiang's feet. She was still careful, separating them with a towel, gently massaging her while asking: "Does it hurt here?"

  Ouch.

  "What about here?"

  "It hurts too." Gu Xixi looked at her swollen ankle and felt like crying.

  "Sister, it doesn't swell here, and it hurts?" Lin Hao doubted and poked again with his hand, "It doesn't make sense!"

  Gu Xixi looked at Lin Hao's movements and naturally knew that her previous conditioned reflexive words were somewhat embarrassing: "It didn't hurt originally, but you poked it to hurt, what do you think my foot is? You keep poking!"

  Lin Hao's mouth twitched at this, "I'm just trying to see where you're twisted, I'll help you straighten it out!"

  "What? Crooked and twisted back?" Gu Xixi heard this sentence and became excited.

  "Yeah, if you don't straighten it out, you'll always be swollen. If it goes on for a long time, there will be aftereffects later." Lin Hao said, lifting the hot towel and dipping it in the hot water again, repeating the process to apply it to Gu Xi Xi's foot, "Don't worry, I'm very skilled at straightening this out. Because I have experience."

  "Why are you on the line?" Gu Xixi couldn't believe it, "Where did your experience come from?"

  "The little white mouse's leg was twisted, and I'm the one who straightened it." Lin Hao said seriously: "And the neighbor's cat, Yuanbao, its leg was also injured and I fixed it."

  "Lin Hao, you're talking about animals, what do you mean?!" Gu XiXi's face was full of black lines. "Can a white mouse and Yuan Bao's leg be compared to mine?" How dare he say he has experience, it's really infuriating!

  "It's really different, you only have 2, they have 4! Lin Hao smiled mischievously, "Sister is because you only have 2, I will definitely not let you lose one."

  "I don't want you to touch my foot, go away." Gu XiXi angrily stretched out her foot to kick Lin Hao, but was caught by him and twisted violently. "Ah" Gu XiXi let out a miserable cry of surprise, instantly tears of pain flowed, it hurts, it really hurts!

  "Sister, your ear-piercing screams in the middle of the night will make people think I'm doing something improper to you. Can't you stop screaming? Or at least keep it down a notch?" Lin Hao covered his ears, looking helpless.
