Chapter 304 Giving You a Title

After Huo Xianyang woke up, Xiao Ruoyi developed a fever the next day.

The doctor said that her body was constantly under immense strain, like a string being stretched taut.

Now that Huo Xianyang has woken up, that string has snapped, and her body has collapsed.

A high fever is the body's self-protective mechanism being activated; it will subside after a couple of days of rest.

Lin Xiyin wanted to come to the hospital, but Xiao Ruoyi wouldn't let her come no matter what she said.

She's pregnant now, and Xiao Ruoyi herself has a fever and doesn't even know what's going on. How could we let her take such a risk?

Huo Xianyang was extremely anxious.

He knew very well how sad Xiao Ruoyi must have been during the time he was unconscious.

But it was only after Xiao Ruoyi collapsed that he realized that Xiao Ruoyi's love for him was no less than his own.

He longed to recover immediately and take care of her personally.

But it's obvious that he's only just woken up. Even if he gets up and takes care of Xiao Ruoyi, let alone go, she'll still be angry.

His immediate priority is to recover his health as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, Xiao Ruoyi's fever subsided by the second night, and she seemed much more energetic.

Xiao Ruoyi had a fever before, so she went to another ward.

The main concern was that Huo Xianyang had just woken up and his immunity was low, so he might be infected again.

Upon meeting, Huo Xianyang couldn't wait to hug her.

Only when I held her in my arms did my heart finally settle down.

He was in a coma for quite a while, but compared to those who are in a vegetative state for several or even more than ten years, he was very lucky.

The body recovers relatively quickly.

After two days of recovery, basic movements, including minor activities, were no longer a problem.

Muscle loss in the limbs may require gradual rehabilitation later in life.

His original six-pack abs are no longer visible.

This left Huo Xianyang quite frustrated.

His once-proud physique has now become thin and frail.

I wonder if Xiao Ruoyi will find it objectionable.

What he cared about most was Xiao Ruoyi's health.

He couldn't see Xiao Ruoyi for the past two days while she had a fever, so he went to see a doctor several times.

They were all doctors from his own hospital, so he already knew everything about the situation, but he still couldn't help asking them again and again when Xiao Ruoyi would get better.

Now that she's finally better, Huo Xianyang hugged her and asked, "Is there anything still bothering you?"

Xiao Ruoyi said, "You're making me uncomfortable."

Huo Xianyang quickly released her.

Xiao Ruoyi said, "My whole body is made of bones."

Huo Xianyang hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be in shape in three months, no, two months, and my physique will be even better than before!"

"Really?" Xiao Ruoyi raised an eyebrow at him. "I don't quite believe it."

"You wait!" Huo Xianyang said, "I'll definitely recover very soon!"

Upon hearing Xiao Ruoyi's words, Huo Xianyang suddenly felt incredibly embarrassed.

Xiao Ruoyi chuckled.

Huo Xianyang looked at her.

Xiao Ruoyi hugged him again: "I'm so glad I escaped death. Even if you're as thin as a stick, I won't mind."

"Don't dislike me," Huo Xianyang said pitifully, "I'll really recover very quickly."

"Don't rush, follow the doctor's instructions. Don't be impatient, okay?"

"knew."

That's what he said, but Huo Xianyang was determined to get in shape as soon as possible.

If Xiao Ruoyi drools over another man's body, he'll go crazy!

Huo Xianyang helped her sit down: "You've suffered while I was unconscious. From now on, let me take good care of you. You should rest well, okay?"

Xiao Ruoyi said, "I didn't do anything hard, I didn't do anything."

“They all told me.” Huo Xianyang looked at her. “I know everything you did.”

Xiao Ruoyi felt a little awkward: "Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense. Did the doctor say when you can go home to see your son?"

"No rush," Huo Xianyang said.

"Don't you miss your son?"

"To be honest, I only want you." Huo Xianyang looked at her: "Yiyi, I was actually conscious when I was being rescued. I was thinking that if I died, you would definitely find another man, so I would crawl out of the grave and teach that bastard a lesson!"

Xiao Ruoyi lowered her head and laughed, her shoulders shaking with laughter.

I laughed until tears came out.

She asked, "You're going to teach that scumbag a lesson, what, aren't you going to teach me a lesson?"

"You..." Huo Xianyang said, "Well, who told me I was incompetent and died first?"

"You really are..." Xiao Ruoyi didn't know what to say: "Can't you have a little more confidence in yourself?"

“How can I be confident?” Huo Xianyang said, “I don’t even have a formal title.”

Xiao Ruoyi said, "You don't need to say things like that to provoke me."

"I didn't!" Huo Xianyang hurriedly said, "If I can't be with you, it's because I'm incompetent. If you don't give me a proper status, it's also because I'm incompetent."

"Okay, let's not talk about this," Xiao Ruoyi said. "I won't tell you not to worry about me if you encounter danger in the future, because I know it won't make a difference. But, have you ever thought about using this to exchange for something with me?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Well... you can make requests of me, and I'll generally agree to them."

"So you think that because I saved you, I can make demands of you?"

"Um."

"So, what do you think I saved you for?"

"No, not really," Xiao Ruoyi said. "Of course I know you're not doing this for any reason. I just wanted to give you a reward. Is that alright?"

"No way!" Huo Xianyang said angrily, "In that situation, my reaction was a natural one. I didn't even realize it; my body had already reacted..."

"Are you reciting a tongue twister?"

That's what they said, but Xiao Ruoyi certainly understood what Huo Xianyang meant.

"If I saved you for a reward, then you... have hurt me deeply."

"Okay, okay, I admit I was wrong," Xiao Ruoyi asked him. "But you really don't want it? Like, something like a formal title."

Huo Xianyang looked at her with a pitiful expression: "So, because I saved you, you're going to give me a title?"

"no?"

"I don't want to!"

Xiao Ruoyi stood up: "Fine, then!"

Huo Xianyang hugged her from behind: "Yiyi..."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Xiao Ruoyi said. "You have three seconds to think it over, one, two..."

"I want it." Huo Xianyang turned her body around: "You just bully me..."

"I call this bullying you?" Xiao Ruoyi said, "I gave you a title, and you're acting like you're being wronged?"

“But I don’t want to do it this way,” Huo Xianyang said. “I’ll feel… feel that you’re unwilling. Yiyi, I want to be with you, I want to marry you, but only if you’re willing.”

"How do you know I didn't do it willingly?" Xiao Ruoyi said. "Or do you think I should marry whoever saved me?"

"Of course not!"

"It's not that it's impossible, it's that it's unthinkable," Xiao Ruoyi said. "Don't you understand?"
