Qin Ruojing was puzzled and didn't know what Tong Yaqi meant by saying "wait a moment." She turned her head to look at Tong Yaqi.

Under the confused gazes of Qin Ruojing and Chu Ge, Tong Yaqi didn't keep them waiting long and immediately spoke up.

"Xiao Jing, though Chu Ge has no external injuries, it doesn't mean he's completely fine. What if he's got internal injuries and is just putting on a brave face in front of us? Trust me, he's totally capable of doing that."

Qin Ruojing shot a suspicious glance at Chu Ge and somewhat agreed with what was being said.

Noticing Tong Yaqi's seemingly serious expression, with a hidden hint of amusement in her eyes, Chu Ge couldn't help but smile. Did she have another act in mind?

However, Qin Ruojing didn't notice anything unusual in Tong Yaqi's expression and followed up, "Sister Yaqi, so what do you mean?"

Tong Yaqi glanced at Chu Ge from the corner of her eye and smiled at Qin Ruojing, "I mean, shouldn't we thoroughly check him again?"

"Check him again?" Qin Ruojing was completely puzzled, "Sister Yaqi, do you mean... take him to the hospital for a comprehensive medical check-up?"

Upon hearing Qin Ruojing's suggestion, Tong Yaqi was instantly filled with black lines on her forehead, feeling completely defeated by Qin Ruojing. Why was Qin Ruojing so oblivious about matters like this?

"Uh... going to the hospital might not be necessary for now. What I meant was, something like this." With her words, Tong Yaqi raised a hand and pressed it onto Chu Ge's shoulder.

Qin Ruojing finally started to catch on, her expression changed slightly, and the look she gave Tong Yaqi revealed an indescribable shift.

So it turned out that Tong Yaqi was trying to create an opportunity for her to be alone with Chu Ge.

Tong Yaqi pretended not to notice the changes in Qin Ruojing's eyes, she took her hand off Chu Ge's shoulder and pressed it on his forehead in a seemingly serious manner. "Xiao Jing, this guy really likes to put on a tough front. You better observe carefully. If he feels pain anywhere, his expression is bound to change."

Chu Ge was genuinely at a loss for what to laugh or cry at this point. What Tong Yaqi was doing seemed less like examining injuries and more like tickling him, which made him let out a small hum.

"Oh! What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable here?" Tong Yaqi feigned nervousness, staring intently at Chu Ge while adding a bit more pressure with her fingers on his forehead.

Looking at the earnest way Tong Yaqi was acting, Chu Ge felt puzzled inside but was too lazy to think much about it. If they wanted to make a fuss, he might as well join in the fun.

Chu Ge couldn't help but play along, acting exaggeratedly, "Eh? It did feel a little off just then, but now it seems fine again. How about trying once more?"

Tong Yaqi studied Qin Ruojing's reactions out of the corner of her eye and continued the "examination" meticulously.

No matter how slow Qin Ruojing might be in such matters, she now fully realized that what Tong Yaqi called an examination seemed… not to be that at all?

Both Chu Ge and Tong Yaqi were doing fine; instead, she felt guilty as if she had been caught doing something wrong. She didn't even know what she was feeling; she just increasingly found it unbearable to stay in the bedroom.

"Well… Sister Yaqi, you keep checking Chu Ge, I'm feeling a bit warm, I'll go out for a drink."

The reason Tong Yaqi was doing this was to promote the relationship between Chu Ge and Qin Ruojing, so how could she let Qin Ruojing leave?

Before Qin Ruojing could take any action, Tong Yaqi used one hand to grab Qin Ruojing's arm, "Xiao Jing, my arm's a bit sore, you take over for me, I'll go get you some water."

With that one sentence, Tong Yaqi already pulled Qin Ruojing's hands into hers and gently coaxed her over.

Originally, Qin Ruojing already felt quite embarrassed; before her hands even touched Chu Ge's shoulders, she felt a sensation like an electric shock and anxiously wanted to pull her hands back.

However, given the situation, how could Tong Yaqi let Qin Ruojing escape at such a crucial moment?

Unobtrusively holding down her hands, Tong Yaqi gave her an encouraging look before getting off the bed, taking Qin Ruojing's cup from the nightstand, and walking out of the bedroom.

Before leaving, Tong Yaqi turned back and smiled, giving Chu Ge a playful wink.

Noticing Tong Yaqi's gaze, Chu Ge rolled his eyes. He finally understood the play Tong Yaqi was putting on.

Watching Tong Yaqi's back, Chu Ge felt even more helpless. After all this fuss, was she trying to play matchmaker for him and Qin Ruojing?

"Chairman, if you don't feel up to it, then forget about it. I know my body well, nothing's wrong, so don't bother worrying about it, okay?"

With his gaze on the departing Tong Yaqi, Chu Ge lazily spoke, planning to get off the bed.

However, before he could sit up straight, he was—by today's count the umpteenth time—pressed back down.

Qin Ruojing squinted her eyes, "What? Sister Yaqi can check you, but I can't?"

The look in her eyes and her tone seemed to say, "Am I really that bad? Why treat me this way? Oh, when Tong Yaqi examined you, you were all smiles and excitement. But when it's my turn, your face instantly screams 'uninterested'?"

Originally, Qin Ruojing was very resistant to this kind of "examination", but Chu Ge's reaction indeed hurt her, making her upset and angry. For Pete's sake, what kind of attitude is this?

To be honest, Qin Ruojing really misunderstood Chu Ge. He absolutely didn't think that much. He merely sensed Qin Ruojing's hesitation and casually said that sentence.

Feeling Qin Ruojing's intense dissatisfaction, Chu Ge burst into laughter, "Of course, of course, of course you can. I'm just worried you'll get tired!"

Since good intentions weren't being appreciated, why did he bother to say so much? After all, it's not him, Chu Ge, who's embarrassed.

"Now that's more like it," Qin Ruojing rolled her eyes at Chu Ge, hesitated for a moment, then took a dolphin-shaped mini massager from the cabinet, plugged it in, and placed it on Chu Ge's body.

The press of the massager was indeed a bit harsh, and it was Chu Ge's bad luck. He was lazily trying to yawn when the little dolphin massager in Qin Ruojing's hand pressed that yawn back down, and even worse, he choked on this breath.

Choking on breath feels even worse than choking on water, and Chu Ge immediately started to cough violently, his face turning a little red.

Qin Ruojing was initially quite unhappy, but seeing Chu Ge like this, she couldn't help but laugh gloatingly. This is karma for you, for not using me, serve you right.

Chu Ge finally managed to stop coughing and glared at Qin Ruojing, "Big sis, are you trying to murder me? The way you're doing it, you turned nothing into something. Enough, couldn't you just take a break? I really can't afford you, okay?"

Seeing Chu Ge coughing continuously, Qin Ruojing's anger subsided quite a bit, and she felt a bit embarrassed. She turned down the power of the little dolphin and laughed, "Alright, who's your big sis? Look at you being so petty. I'll be gentler this time, just lie down properly for me."

"No, no, no, can we stop fooling around? Don't I know my own condition? Besides, you can see how lively I am, right? Let's skip this examination, okay?"

Honestly, Chu Ge's words were a bit of a buzzkill, but he felt he had to say them.

"Who's fooling around with you? Can you be serious?"

Chu Ge wanted to say more, but seeing that Qin Ruojing was putting on a serious face, he ended up staying quiet, letting her use that little dolphin massager to press and push on him.

"Hmm, that's more like it, a little to the left, a bit more pressure, yes, yes, that's the feeling, not bad, you're learning fast."

Since he already got Qin Ruojing to give him a massage, Chu Ge acted like he was enjoying it, and seeing Chu Ge's relaxed demeanor, Qin Ruojing suddenly had the urge to smash the little dolphin massager on Chu Ge hard.

Seriously, has this guy really started thinking of himself as a big boss and treating her like his servant?

Besides, even if they both knew well, at least for now they were using "examining for internal injuries" as a pretense, right? Why is he ordering around so openly?

Zuying Ruojing thought angrily but held back. After all, this was a chance created by Tong Yaqi to improve her relationship with Chu Ge, and it would be a shame to ruin it.

As she continued to massage Chu Ge with the little dolphin, a question suddenly occurred to Qin Ruojing, and her movements paused slightly.

This... seemed to be her first time, after such a long time, giving a man a massage on a large scale voluntarily.

Although there wasn't any direct contact, since a little dolphin massager was used, it should logically be quite an awkward thing, right?

Yet, aside from a bit of dilemma at the beginning, it didn't feel as embarrassing or awkward as she used to think?

Why is it like this?

Qin Ruojing was a serious thinker. Faced with a puzzle, she couldn't help but ponder over it.

Unfortunately, after thinking for a long time, Qin Ruojing couldn't come up with a particularly convincing answer.

Just as a flash of inspiration hit her, and she was about to grasp something, Chu Ge's voice suddenly rang out in the room.

"Chairman, if you're tired, you can stop. I'm really fine, don't worry."

Chu Ge's voice was pretty gentle, and it was a nice thing to say, but to Qin Ruojing's ears, it only made her feel more infuriated. She glared at Chu Ge fiercely. Her bit of inspiration was suddenly interrupted.

Feeling Qin Ruojing's heartfelt annoyance and frustration, Chu Ge couldn't help but feel speechless.

He just thought that little dolphin-shaped massager was a bit heavy after holding it for so long, and Qin Ruojing seemed tired, so he kindly said that. How did he manage to upset her again?

This is truly like trying to understand a woman's heart—it's as unfathomable as the ocean—and how good intentions never seem to get rewarded!
