    71. Twist your feet

    After hanging up the phone, Xu Jingtang returned to the dinner table. His mood was neither good nor bad. The aroma of the dishes was filling the air, but Xu Jingtang’s appetite was not aroused.

    Gu Pan also received a reply from Gu Chengjue just now, and learned that they are now stuck on the road. Although they have got out of the car and are walking to the restaurant, the arrival time is still hard to say.

    Gu Pan felt guilty, but he didn’t dare to show the slightest bit of strangeness on his face.

    She and Xu Jingtang had just come into contact, but Xu Jingtang was so unpredictable that he couldn’t express his emotions or anger. He kept silent because he was afraid of being left alone, but when he spoke he was afraid of saying the wrong thing.

    Moreover, from the moment the food arrived, Gu Pan noticed that Xu Jingtang didn’t use his chopsticks for many dishes. He mostly just drank tea, and he was a little worried that Xu Jingtang would not be satisfied with the dishes.

    After all, grandma hasn’t woken up yet, so there are variables in everything. What’s more, this meal was originally designed to thank Xu Jingtang, so she didn’t dare to neglect it.

    “Dr. Xu, what do you usually like to eat?” Thinking of this, Gu Pan boldly asked, “Do you need anything to add?”

    “No need.” Xu Jingtang took another sip of tea, “I’m just not used to Chinese food.”

    “Have you been living abroad for a long time…”

    “That’s right.”

    “Then when you return to China this time…”

    “Entrusted by others.” Xu Jingtang was about to push his friend.

    “Can I ask who asked me to do this?” Gu Pan was really curious about who helped him.

    Because he was anxious to know the answer, the anxiety he felt just now was temporarily forgotten, and even his tone was completely different from the fearful look just now.

    Xu Jingtang looked at the girl who seemed a little different from before. He did not answer her question immediately. Instead, he pondered for a moment and replied: “He will come over later.”

    When Gu Pan heard this, he nodded quickly and did not dare to ask any more questions. He just sat on the chair and waited for the answer to come.

    As for this ‘waiting’, Xu Jingtang didn’t know how long it would take.

    Neither of them moved their chopsticks and just sat there dryly. Xu Jingtang did it because he really didn’t like eating, and Gu Pan did it because he didn’t dare.

    The host has already put down his chopsticks. Why does she still have the nerve to continue eating?

    After sitting there for more than ten minutes, Gu Pan decided to get up and go to the toilet. He also called to ask where the three people who had not arrived were.

    Unexpectedly, the moment he stood up, there was a sudden sound from the heel of his shoe, and he suddenly slipped on the ground——

    The world is spinning.

    Before Gu Pan even realized what was going on, he felt a sudden pain in his ankle, and he lost his balance and fell to one side.

    The next moment, someone grabbed him around the waist. Pan Pan’s eyes were blurred, and his entire field of vision was occupied by a dazzling white. His head bumped into the man’s chest due to inertia, and he smelled a light cold fragrance.

    Xu Jingtang quickly helped Gu Pan sit on the chair and distanced himself from Gu Pan, “Is everything okay?”

    Gu Pan was so frightened that his heart was pounding and his head was buzzing. He nodded blankly and took a long time to come back to his senses.

    Then her heart almost collapsed.

    As soon as they met, she almost fell into pieces in front of others… She looked down at the valuable high-heeled shoes, and sure enough, the heel of the shoe had broken off from the sole, and it could only hang precariously as soon as she raised her foot.

    I had heard before that these high-end brands were only designed and produced for the fashion of rich people. They were basically seasonal products and did not have long-term combat capabilities. Gu Pan didn’t believe it at the time, but now he has finally learned a lesson through hard experience.

    “It’s okay, it’s okay!” Gu Pan knew that she was embarrassed, the temperature on her face was rising steadily, and she immediately wanted to stand up and walk out, to escape from this place that made her suffocating with embarrassment.

    As a result, he immediately took a breath as soon as he exerted force on his feet.

    pain.

    It hurt so much that Gu Pan’s butt fell back down immediately before he had left the chair a few centimeters.

    Seeing this, Xu Jingtang squatted down in front of Gu Pan and untied the high heels.

    The man’s movements were very careful, and his fingers completely avoided contact with Gu Pan’s skin. They were so light that Gu Pan only noticed that the ankle was loosened and the button was opened.

    “I’m fine, just rest for a while and I’ll be fine!” Gu Pan hid her feet back, almost crying in her heart——

    Cheng Jue, when will you come? If you don’t come, your sister, I won’t be able to go home today!

    Xu Jingtang first lowered his head and looked at Gu Pan’s ankle for a while. After Gu Pan moved his feet randomly due to inexplicable panic, he reached out and gently grabbed the white and slender calf.

    The girl’s skin is smooth, white and thin, like fresh lotus root segments.

    “Don’t move.” He said, taking off Gu Pan’s high heels, and then held Gu Pan’s feet with his hands.

    I could see that the snow-white ankle was obviously blue and slightly swollen, like heavy rain clouds that were rapidly gathering and condensing in the sky.

    The man’s hand was very warm, and his palm was pressed against Gu Pan’s heel. His eyes were slightly lowered, and he carefully observed the condition of the injury.

    Because Xu Jingtang said not to move, Gu Pan really didn’t dare to move and sat stiffly on the chair.

    “It’s nothing serious.”

    After a while, Xu Jingtang stepped back and put Gu Pan’s feet on his original seat.

    Then he went out and asked the service staff to get a plastic bag with water mixed with crushed ice to make the simplest ice bag.

    Xu Jingtang walked over, lifted Gu Pan’s foot again, placed it on his thigh, and then applied an ice pack on it.

    The man looked more elegant. Gu Pan subconsciously thought that Xu Jingtang was thin, but as soon as he put his feet up, Gu Pan found that the man’s legs had obvious hard muscles. He could clearly feel the lines of the leg muscles through a pair of suit pants.

    “Putting your feet higher like this can reduce blood circulation.” After putting the ice pack away, Xu Jingtang raised his head and told Gu Pan expressionlessly: “This is an emergency treatment. You can put something else under your feet when you get home.”

    “Okay…”

    Gu Pan nodded. Because the position of his feet was a bit awkward, he didn’t dare to move them. His whole legs were tight and stiff.

    Fortunately, this situation did not last long, because the door was soon opened again. When Gu Pan turned his head to look at the visitor, he saw a long-haired man walking in under the guidance of the waiter with a smile on his face.

    Mr. He…?

    Gu Pan stared blankly at He Zhizhou walking in, recalling Xu Jingtang’s words just now in his mind, and immediately realized that He Zhizhou was the person Xu Jingtang asked him to.

    Seeing the situation in the room, He Zhizhou’s steps stagnated slightly, “Did you twist your foot?”

    With that said, He Zhizhou walked up to Gu Pan, and Xu Jingtang immediately handed over the ice pack in his hand and walked out of the room as if taking over his duties.

    He Zhizhou sat down naturally, then held Gu Pan’s little foot and gently pressed the ice pack on it, “Why are you so confused?”

    Xu Jingtang suffered from mysophobia and lost blood like crazy
