Liu Yang waited for about ten minutes and found that Huo Xiao had not come down yet. He dialed Huo Xiao's number with a headache.
What a workaholic! It's almost twelve o'clock and he hasn't come down yet. He really treats the company as his own home.
As soon as he dialed the number, he heard the ringtone of Huo Xiao's phone.
Liu Yang exclaimed, and looked in the direction of the voice, but was stunned when he saw Huo Xiao in a disheveled state, "Boss, what are you doing..."
Huo Xiao was injured and was limping towards him. His face was pale and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. He looked like he was about to die.
Liu Yang was terrified and hurried over to support him. "Why are you injured like this? What happened?"
Huo Xiao did not refuse his help, but endured the pain and said with difficulty, "It's nothing, I just didn't see the road clearly when I came down and fell down the stairs."
"Ah? You don't want to take the elevator?" Liu Yang felt pain just thinking about it.
I was lucky enough not to die after rolling down the stairs.
Huo Xiao lied with his eyes open: "The elevator is broken."
Liu Yang frowned. "No wonder. I'll call the property management later and ask them to repair it as soon as possible. Boss, get in the car first. I'll take you to a nearby hospital."
"Not now. Drive to a nearby pharmacy and buy me some medicine. It's better to buy more painkillers." After Huo Xiao got in the car, he moved his injured leg in with great effort. After sitting down, he closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and didn't make a sound.
Liu Yang was dumbfounded. "No way, but you're in this state now, how can you not go to the hospital?"
Huo Xiao leaned against the backrest, his Adam's apple moving slightly, forcing down the pain and saying, "It's almost too late. I promised Yan Xi that I would go see him tonight."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yang felt mixed emotions, yet he breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay."
Anyway, Lu Yanxi is also in the hospital, just a little far away from here, but it’s a hospital after all, so it doesn’t make any difference.
But he underestimated Huo Xiao's stubborn temper.
He went to the pharmacy to buy medicine and treated his wounds to make himself look less miserable.
Then he went straight to the hospital where Yan Xi was and went straight to Yan Xi's ward instead of seeing a doctor first.
Liu Yang didn't know what to say.
Huo Xiao struggled hard and stood up straight with his legs stretched out at the door of Yan Xi's ward, as if nothing had happened.
Liu Yang didn't quite understand but didn't point it out.
When Huo Xiao walked into the ward, Yan Xi was still looking at the stock price.
She caught a glimpse of him coming and quickly put down her iPad. She was about to give him a bear hug with a smile, but when she saw the band-aids on his face and hands, she froze and her smile disappeared instantly. "What's wrong with you? Why are you so hurt? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I'll help you fight back!"
Huo Xiao tugged at his pale lips, shook his head, and smiled with a relaxed expression, "No one bullied me. It happened that the elevator was broken when I was getting off work today, so I had to take the stairs. Maybe I was a little unlucky, and I missed a step when going downstairs and fell down. Fortunately, I'm fine, just a few scrapes."
"Ah, you still call this no big deal? You're injured like this, with wounds all over your face and hands. What should I do if you're disfigured?" Yan Xi touched his face and hands with heartache. If I had known this earlier, I should have gone to see you, so that you wouldn't fall when you came over.
Huo Xiao smiled and said nothing, but in his heart he said silently: Fortunately you didn't come, fortunately...
"Huh? Why aren't you wearing the pendant I gave you?" Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat when she noticed that there was no familiar red rope around his neck.
No wonder he didn’t feel that Huo Xiao was in danger and didn’t wear it.
Huo Xiao suppressed panic in his eyes and pretended to look down. "I think I dropped it in the bathroom when I was taking a shower last night."
"I see. Be sure to put it back on when you get home. Don't take it off next time you take a shower. It won't get wet and won't get damaged."
"Okay." Huo Xiao nodded, but when he saw his furrowed brow, he asked, "Yan Xi, is that pendant really that important? Why do you always insist that I must wear it all the time?"
Speaking of this, Yan Xi raised his chin and said proudly: "Of course it is very important. Didn't I tell you before? I am Superman, I am very powerful, and the thing I gave you is also very powerful. No matter where you are, as long as you are in danger, I will come to your side immediately to protect you. In short, it is a talisman, so you must always wear it, otherwise I will not feel at ease."
"Is that so?" Huo Xiao touched his neck. It turned out that he was protecting him because he was not completely controlled before.
"I will. I will remember to carry it with me all the time and won't... make you feel uneasy." Huo Xiao recalled the appearance of the pendant and looked at Yan Xi, his eyes sore.
The pendant Yan Xi gave him was no longer available, so he could only ask someone to make an identical one.
Yan Xi, I'm sorry, I can't tell you the truth.
"You've been working overtime so late, you must be very hungry, right? I just ordered some midnight snacks, we'll eat together later!" When talking about food, Yan Xi's eyes lit up and he was almost drooling.
Huo Xiao looked at the energetic boy with a complicated smile on his face, "Okay."
Seeing him staring at her and grinning, Yan Xi couldn't help but laugh too, "Why are you staring at me like that? Aren't you tired of it?"
"Well, I haven't seen enough. I want to look at you like this every day, forever." Huo Xiao raised his hand and gently stroked his face, tracing his facial features, as if he wanted to imprint every part of him in his bones and remember it forever.
Yan Xi felt a little itchy, but did not stop him. Instead, she couldn't help laughing. "That's easy. You will like me in your next life, and in the next life, and in countless lives after that. Isn't that great? Then we can be together forever. You can watch me as long as you want, as many times as you want. And maybe you won't get tired of it. It will become more and more interesting the more you watch."
