Chapter 384 Why was he injured?

This matter has troubled Xia Ningxi for many years. She doesn't know why she can't remember what happened back then, but she is certain that she could not have harmed anyone. Even if everyone says that she harmed Xia Wanwan, she cannot admit it because she cannot do such a thing.

However, when all the evidence pointed to Xia Ningxi, she didn't know how to defend herself, because she couldn't remember any details of what happened, as if all her memories had been erased.

All the grievances Xia Ningxi has suffered over the years are because of Xia Wanwan.

Xia Ningxi stared into Xia Wanwan's eyes and asked, word by word, "What exactly caused your injury back then? Do you remember?"

“I…” Xia Wanwan’s forehead furrowed into a line.

Xia Ningxi asked, "Can't you remember?"

Xia Wanwan said, "I don't remember either."

"Don't remember? How could you not remember?" Xia Ningxi was a little excited. She stood up abruptly, and her voice couldn't help but rise a few decibels.

Xia Wanwan was startled by Xia Ningxi's appearance. She was very puzzled: "Ningxi, you seem to care a lot about this?"

"right!"

Xia Ningxi stared intently at Xia Wanwan with her clear eyes, and said, word by word, "Think it over carefully!"

"I really can't remember," Xia Wanwan quickly explained.

Xia Ningxi said, "You have to think about it even if you can't remember!"

"I... Nan Xiao! You're back!"

Xia Wanwan was overjoyed when she saw Huo Nanxiao and immediately called out to him.

Huo Nanxiao walked into the ward with the medicine he had just picked up. He saw that Xia Ningxi was a little agitated, and his deep eyes were unfathomable.

Under Xia Wanwan's expectant gaze, Huo Nanxiao walked over and placed the medicine on the table: "This is your medicine."

The font on the medicine box was too small, and Xia Wanwan's eyesight wasn't very good, so she couldn't see the words clearly. She asked, "How do I take this medicine?"

Huo Nanxiao looked at Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi walked over, opened the packaging box, and said, "Two pills at a time, once after breakfast and once after dinner."

"Okay, thank you." Xia Wanwan was very grateful.

She can't walk yet; it's already quite good that she can sit up. She also needs to be fed medicine and water.

With no one else around, Huo Nanxiao naturally became the one to take care of Xia Wanwan.

Xia Ningxi stood aside and silently watched Huo Nanxiao in front of her. Seeing how carefully he took care of Xia Wanwan, she felt uncomfortable.

Xia Wanwan's complexion improved slightly after taking the medicine. She looked at Xia Ningxi and said, "Ningxi, I'm sorry, I really can't remember."

Huo Nanxiao asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"

Xia Wanwan said, "Ning Xi, I asked you about some things from the past, but I have no recollection of them at all."

Huo Nanxiao's eyes darkened: "You don't remember anything?"

Xia Wanwan rubbed her forehead and said, "Hmm, it's probably because my body hasn't fully recovered."

Huo Nanxiao: "Then get some rest."

Xia Ningxi was actually quite unwilling to accept that she didn't get the answer she wanted, but seeing how Huo Nanxiao was protecting Xia Wanwan, Xia Ningxi couldn't force Xia Wanwan to give her an answer.

She couldn't stay in that ward for another second.

"I'll wait for you outside." With those words, Xia Ningxi turned and left.

Watching Xia Ningxi's departing figure, Xia Wanwan couldn't help but ask Huo Nanxiao, "Is Ningxi angry?"

"Don't worry about it." Huo Nanxiao placed the medicine on the table and asked, "Does your chest still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore," Xia Wanwan shook her head.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Then you should get some rest."

Xia Wanwan asked, "Are you leaving now?"

"Yes." Huo Nanxiao did not deny it.

Xia Wanwan said, "Let's sit for a while longer. I can't sleep right now, and I'm a little scared to be alone in the hospital."

"There are bodyguards outside the door, nothing will happen," Huo Nanxiao replied.

Xia Wanwan said, "Don't you want to stay and keep me company?"

She was somewhat disappointed, and also somewhat sad.

Since things had already come to this point, Huo Nanxiao had no choice but to sit down and talk to her.

Xia Wanwan was very happy, but she also knew that Huo Nanxiao had not come to the hospital alone; Xia Ningxi was still waiting outside.

She could ask Huo Nanxiao to stay with her all night, but she couldn't ask Xia Ningxi to also stand guard in the hospital, because Xia Ningxi wasn't her doctor and had no such obligation.

Xia Wanwan shifted her gaze from Xia Ningxi and asked softly, "Nan Xiao, it's so late, why did you bring Ningxi here? She's usually asleep at this time. It's really hard for her to come to the hospital so late at night to see me. Please don't bother her with these kinds of things in the future."

"Um."

Huo Nanxiao responded with a verbal reply.

The two lived in peace.

Xia Wanwan didn't know what to say. She lowered her eyes and tugged at the blanket. She glanced at the pattern on Huo Nanxiao's pajamas and was stunned. Then she looked at Xia Ningxi outside the door and vaguely sensed that the two of them were wearing the same clothes!

No, the color is wrong.

However, the patterns on their clothes were exactly the same.

“Nan Xiao, your clothes…” Xia Wanwan pointed at Huo Nan Xiao, hesitating.

Huo Nanxiao asked, "Is there a problem with the clothes?"

“No problem, it’s just…” Xia Wanwan bit her lip. She thought she was overthinking it, but when she looked at Xia Ningxi outside the ward, she felt that the two of them were wearing matching outfits.

Her eyesight is really bad...

Xia Wanwan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

Huo Nanxiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He said nothing and stayed in the ward for twenty minutes before getting up and leaving.

Xia Wanwan didn't try to stop him, and watched Huo Nanxiao leave.

After the ward door closed, Huo Nanxiao realized that Xia Ningxi had fallen asleep on a chair in the hospital corridor.

He patted Xia Ningxi's cheek, waking the sleeping girl.

Xia Ningxi rubbed her eyes wearily and asked, "Can we go now?"

"Okay, let's go home."

Huo Nanxiao walked ahead, and Xia Ningxi didn't dare to delay and immediately caught up with him.

It was already three o'clock in the morning when she got home. There were barbecue stalls everywhere on the street. Xia Ningxi had the car window open and could smell the aroma all the way back. She was a little hungry and her stomach was growling.

Huo Nanxiao slowed down the car, looking at the messy night market stalls outside, his brows furrowed tightly.

Someone of his status naturally wouldn't like coming to such a chaotic and disorganized place, especially one with such a poor environment.

Hearing Xia Ningxi's stomach growling loudly, Huo Nanxiao suppressed his disgust and said, "Let's pick a place, eat something, and then go back."

"It's too late, I'm worried about leaving the kids at home." Xia Ningxi didn't dare linger outside for too long.

Huo Nanxiao said, "Aunt Zhang is watching over things, nothing will happen."

"Are you used to the food?" Xia Ningxi remembered that Huo Nanxiao couldn't eat street food.

Huo Nanxiao said, "I'll eat less."

"Let's go with this barbecue stall then. It's packed with people, so it must be delicious." Xia Ningxi chose the stall with the most people.

There are many people out for late-night snacks at this time, it's lively and bustling, with the sounds of drinking, clinking glasses, and playing drinking games everywhere.

Xia Ningxi found a corner seat where the smell of smoke and alcohol wasn't so strong.

As soon as the two sat down, the proprietress rushed over with the menu: "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

Huo Nanxiao said, "Give her the menu."

The proprietress immediately handed the menu to Xia Ningxi.

Xia Ningxi asked, "What's your family's signboard?"

The proprietress said, "The seafood hot pot and the crayfish in sauce are both quite delicious, and the grilled skewers are also very tasty."

"Then I'll have a seafood hot pot, and a crayfish dish. Do you have porridge?" Xia Ningxi asked.

The proprietress said, "Seafood congee or black chicken congee, which would you like to eat?"

Xia Ningxi said, "I want seafood congee, and only add salt as seasoning. Don't add anything else."

"Okay, just a moment."

The proprietress hurriedly left with the menu.

There was only tea on the table, and Xia Ningxi was so hungry that she could only drink water.

The wind was a bit strong at night, and Xia Ningxi, who was dressed rather lightly, kept sneezing.

"Cold?" Huo Nanxiao asked.

Xia Ningxi said, "It's a bit windy, but it's okay. The food will be warm by the time it's served."

Seeing that she was rubbing her hands, Huo Nanxiao got up and went to the car to get a coat.

"Put it on." He draped it over Xia Ningxi's shoulders.

Xia Ningxi looked up in surprise and blinked.

Huo Nanxiao also realized that he had been too considerate to Xia Ningxi, and added, "Our son clings to you every day, and if you get sick, you'll infect them."

"Oh..." Xia Ningxi was greatly disappointed. She thought Huo Nanxiao was just feeling sorry for her, but she didn't expect it was because of the child.

Forget it, Huo Nanxiao doesn't love her anyway, why bother caring so much.

The crayfish were served quickly; they smelled delicious and looked very appetizing.

Huo Nanxiao's clothes were too big, and the sleeves were too long, which greatly affected Xia Ningxi's speed in peeling shrimp.

"Ouch!" Xia Ningxi's hands were splattered with soup, and Huo Nanxiao's clothes were also covered in soup. Her beautiful face instantly changed color, and she looked at Huo Nanxiao nervously: "I got your clothes dirty."

Huo Nanxiao remained silent, his face grim.

"I'll take it off right now!" Xia Ningxi quickly took off her clothes.

Huo Nanxiao ordered her: "Wear it."

"?" Xia Ningxi dared not move anymore.

Huo Nanxiao, having already put on gloves, picked up a shrimp and began to peel it slowly and methodically. Soon, he had peeled a whole shrimp, but instead of eating it, he placed the shrimp meat he had painstakingly peeled into Xia Ningxi's bowl.

Xia Ningxi was utterly shocked!

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but Huo Nanxiao ignored her completely and continued peeling off another one.

Every time Huo Nanxiao peeled a fruit, Xia Ningxi would eat one. After she tasted the sweetness, she simply took off her gloves and sat quietly opposite Huo Nanxiao, waiting for him to feed her.

"I want to eat this one, it's bigger, let's peel it first!"

"This one is nice too."

"Hurry up, you're peeling so slowly, I'm starving."

Xia Ningxi couldn't wait any longer and kept urging him on.

Huo Nanxiao stared intently at her with his dark eyes.

Xia Ningxi said, "Why are you looking at me? Hurry up and peel them, there are still many left."

Huo Nanxiao said coldly, "Will you starve to death if you go slower?"

Xia Ningxi pouted: "Pretty much."

Huo Nanxiao snorted coldly and ignored Xia Ningxi completely, but his movements were noticeably faster than before.
