Chapter 1249: Chapter 1249: Extra Story of the Eel 86 After Lu Yuwen fell asleep, Su Man sent her mom a message explaining the situation and leaving a note that she would return later. She couldn’t just leave a feverish Lu Yuwen alone in the hotel. Although she wasn’t skilled at taking care of people, at the very least, she could pour him some water and hand him his medicine. At this moment, Su Man decided to tidy up his room a bit. However, she discovered that either the hotel’s housekeeping was exceptional, or Lu Yuwen naturally had good living habits. The room was so clean that there wasn’t a single thing for her to fix. Su Man threw away an empty tube of toothpaste and then heard Lu Yuwen’s phone ringing. When she glanced at it, the screen showed 13 unread messages and 7 missed calls. It must have been a message or something earlier; the phone only rang briefly. Since it concerned his privacy, Su Man didn’t look further, quickly averted her eyes, and went back to the bathroom. She took out a white towel, soaked it in hot water, wrung it out, and used it to wipe the sweat off Lu Yuwen. Perhaps the medication had begun to work, as his face was covered in sweat. Su Man stayed by the bedside, wiping his face from time to time with great patience. It was strange—there was a feeling of déjà vu, as though… she had taken care of him before. But how could that be? Su Man found it funny; it was impossible that she had known Lu Yuwen before. Two hours later, the lunch Lu Yuwen had ordered was delivered, but he was still asleep. Su Man didn’t wake him. She wanted him to sleep a bit longer—resting would help him recover faster. Just at that moment, his phone rang again. This time, it was a video call. The continuous ringing echoed throughout the room, giving Su Man a headache! Holding his phone, she couldn’t decide what to do. On one hand, she wanted to decline the call to avoid disturbing his rest. On the other hand, she felt she had no right to do so—what if it was something important?

He glanced at the screen. “…It’s my restaurant partner.” Su Man breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, she hadn’t acted on impulse—a call from a business partner must be important! “Can you answer it for me?” Lu Yuwen leaned against the headboard, watching Su Man warmly. “My hands… don’t have the strength…” “Oh, uh, okay…” Su Man nodded quickly and accepted the call. Immediately, a man’s half-length image appeared on the screen. He and Su Man stared at each other for a moment, both a little awkward. Hurriedly, Su Man moved closer to Lu Yuwen and asked hesitantly, “Uh, so… should I just hold it for you?” “Sit next to me,” Lu Yuwen said gently, his tone soft and slow. “As long as he can see me, that’s fine.” “All right.” Su Man moved closer, sitting properly beside him and holding the phone in a way that allowed him to converse comfortably. The man on the screen was dumbfounded and took a long moment before speaking. “Lu Yuwen, aren’t you going to introduce her?” Leaning against the headboard, Lu Yuwen smiled. “This is my girlfriend.” The man raised his voice dramatically. “No way! Such a beautiful girl—how could she be your girlfriend?!” Lu Yuwen continued smiling. “This is the most beautiful traffic cop on earth. While she’s not officially my girlfriend yet, I’m pursuing her. At least in my heart, she is already my girlfriend, so my answer isn’t wrong.” The man laughed loudly. “No wonder you disappeared to Shanghai without saying a word! You hadn’t even collected last semester’s profits, and you were already rushing to open a new branch! Turns out it was all for love! Hahaha…” Su Man was so embarrassed she wished the ground would swallow her. She struggled to keep her hands steady while holding the phone, trying not to let herself tremble too much. Lu Yuwen calmly said, “Since you now know I’m busy with romance, let’s cut to the chase. What do you need?”
