After receiving a high salary this month, I have developed an unlimited enthusiasm for overtime.

Basically, I work until after 10 o'clock at the company almost every day.

And because Yan Yang is working for his own company, he is naturally more motivated than us employees.

Most days, he leaves later than me.

On this day, I was as usual busy with work at the company.

When I finally finished checking the project data and was ready to leave, I saw Yan Yang, who hadn't left yet, pale-faced and hunched over the table, holding his stomach in a very painful manner.

I quickly asked, "Yan Yang, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing this, Yan Yang weakly replied, "It's nothing, just a bit of stomach ache."

"It's so painful, and you still say it's nothing? Come on, I'll take you to the hospital."

But Yan Yang refused, "It's okay, you go home first. I haven't finished reviewing this report."

"???"

"It's already so late, and you're still pushing yourself like this. Stomach pain may not seem serious, but when it really hurts, it can be life-threatening. Even if you don't go to the hospital today, you'll have to go next time. Why suffer needlessly?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yang didn't insist anymore. Instead, he let me help him downstairs.

Initially, Yan Yang felt a bit embarrassed and tried to avoid my actions, but the intense pain in his stomach left him with no choice but to let me support him slowly downstairs.

After taking him to the emergency room, I ran around getting his medical records, accompanying him to see the doctor, and helping him pour hot water.

After all that running around, I was sweating.

After the final check-up, his stomach was fine.

It's just that Yan Yang often doesn't eat on time and likes to eat spicy and stimulating foods, so over time, he developed a stomach problem.

After the doctor prescribed medication, he advised, "In the future, eat on time, and eat less spicy foods. Too much stimulation can be hard on the stomach."

After taking the medicine, Yan Yang immediately felt much better.

He gratefully said, "Thank you for today."

"Oh, don't mention it. We're all colleagues. Are you able to leave now? If you can, I'll take you home."

"It's late, I've already had my driver come to pick me up. You wait here. I'll give you a ride back," he added.

Look at me, I actually forgot he's from a wealthy family and has a driver to pick him up.

Since that's the case, I felt relieved.

So I said, "It's okay, I'll just take a taxi by myself. If you're not feeling well, don't go out of your way to drop me off. Go home and rest quickly."

But Yan Yang insisted, "It's not safe for you to go home alone at this late hour. Just come with me."

Well, with a free ride, why not take it.

After Yan's car arrived, he quickly dropped me off near my home.

Just a little further down the road, the car couldn't go any further.

Seeing the dark alley, Yan Yang furrowed his brow, "This alley... Is it safe for you to go in alone?"

Without waiting for my response, Yan Yang got out of the car and said, "Let's go, I'll walk you in."

Uh... This alley looks scary, but every night after I arrive here, my dad comes out to pick me up.

But since Yan Yang insisted, I couldn't refuse and let him walk me to the entrance of my building.

I have to say, Yan Yang may seem aloof, but deep down, he's very kind and considerate of others' feelings.

He's a really good person.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel fortunate that I woke up in time to stop seeking revenge on Li Qi's actions.

Otherwise, if I had any involvement with Yan Yang due to my momentary anger, dragging an innocent person down with me would have been despicable.

What's the difference between me and Li Qi then?

Fortunately, I didn't compound one mistake with another.
