42. Xie Shiyu woke up
Xie Shiyu's face was truly beautiful to the extreme, even though at this moment her face was deathly pale and her thin lips were completely bloodless.
This did not diminish her beauty at all; on the contrary, it added a touch of sickly beauty to Xie Shiyu.
It evokes a protective instinct in people who see it.
Xie Shiyu lay in bed for three days without showing any signs of consciousness.
The man's initial calm turned into frustration. Today, the fourth day, Xie Shiyu still hadn't woken up.
The man who had been guarding the bedside could no longer contain himself. He grabbed the doctor by the collar and demanded, "It's been three days already, why hasn't she woken up yet!"
He doesn't even know what this little beauty's name is yet. Could she be dead?
The doctor quickly pleaded, "No, no, she's not dead."
"Then why isn't she awake?" the man demanded angrily.
"She just fainted. She'll wake up in a few days, maybe even tomorrow," the doctor replied.
Upon hearing this, the man loosened his collar and snorted coldly, "It better be as you say."
The doctor quickly straightened his collar, then breathed a sigh of relief. This man exuded a truly menacing aura; he was somewhat afraid his life might be threatened.
After giving a few instructions, he immediately left the ward, leaving only the two of them in the room after the doctor left.
The man sat by the hospital bed, looking at Xie Shiyu with a furrowed brow. He tapped his thigh repeatedly with his fingers. Wearing a mask, no one knew what his expression was like at that moment.
—
I've been staying at the company's Xizhengyu for the past few days. It wasn't until I finished the last project that I realized I hadn't been home for several days.
The little mermaid was still angry when I left that day; I wonder how she is now.
Xi Zhengyu thought about it and decided to go back and take a look today.
We can't keep ignoring her forever; she should have figured out her place by now.
With Xie Shiyu's radiant smile in his mind, Xi Zhengyu's bad mood of the past few days gradually disappeared, especially when he was leaving get off work.
Changxuan noticed this and observed him silently before asking, "Chairman, are you going back today?"
“Yes.” Xi Zhengyu nodded, then thought for a moment and added, “Go buy some dried fish, and what’s the name of that hottest movie lately?”
“Mermaid Tears,” Changxuan replied immediately. He had seen the movie; he had gone to the cinema with his girlfriend.
This movie was quite a tearjerker; his girlfriend cried uncontrollably after watching it.
"Book me two movie tickets," Xi Zhengyu said.
"good."
I promised to take her to the movies, and I'll take her tonight. I think the little mermaid will be very happy.
He returned home with a large bag of dried fish that his secretary had bought, and found the house quiet when he opened the door.
Xi Zhengyu's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. He put down what he was holding and walked towards the pool on the second floor.
There was no one inside the large seashell, nor underwater. Xi Zhengyu went back to the bedroom and searched again, but still couldn't find anyone.
His little mermaid has disappeared.
Xi Zhengyu sat in the chair in the study, his face particularly solemn.
His hands were clenched tightly together, and his face was ashen, after he fell out of the robot's surveillance system.
Her face darkened even more. How dare she do that!
Nelisa Miller!
The person who actually came to humiliate him and beat his little mermaid up like that.
Watching the little mermaid tending to her wounds all by herself, Xi Zhengyu felt a slight pang of sadness in his chest.
Seeing Xie Shiyu sitting alone at the dinner table that evening, Xi Zhengyu felt an even stronger pang of bitterness.
Xie Shiyu looked so fragile, as if she would shatter at the slightest touch.
She stopped eating halfway through, got up, went upstairs to change her clothes, and then went out.
He has never returned since.
After reading it, Xi Zhengyu opened his smart terminal and sent a text message to his brothers.
They all replied quickly, and then they all contributed manpower and effort to search for Xie Shiyu on the main star.
In the dim light, Xi Zhengyu took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Backlit, no one could see the expression on his face.
After lighting the cigarette, Xi Zhengyu took a deep drag, then slowly exhaled a smoke ring, his long, straight fingers holding the cigarette butt.
He sneered and muttered to himself, "Heh, Xie Shiyu, you'd better escape to the ends of the earth, or I'll make you regret it when I catch you!"
The voice was sinister, sending chills down your spine.
Xie Shiyu, whom he was thinking about, lay on the hospital bed, her tightly closed eyes trembling, before slowly opening them.
The glaring light made Xie Shiyu close her eyes immediately, and she even shed physiological tears.
Then, with a "snap," the lights in the ward went out, leaving only a small, warm-toned lamp lit by the bedside.
After her eyes adjusted, Xie Shiyu slowly opened them. She looked around and asked, "Where am I?"
Her voice was incredibly hoarse, and upon hearing her own voice, she raised her hand to touch her neck, her brow furrowing.
Why did her voice change like that?
"Have some water." The man helped the person up and then handed them a glass of water.
After drinking several glasses of water, Xie Shiyu felt her throat relax. She looked at the man in front of her.
He wore a white, comical mask, and was tall and imposing, his figure overlapping with the image of him standing in front of me with a long sword that day.
"Did you save me?" Xie Shiyu asked.
"Hmm." The man responded, then asked, "What's your name? Why did they want to kill you? Who did you offend?"
The three questions in a row left Xie Shiyu completely bewildered.
She remained silent for a while before saying, "My name is Xie Shiyu."
"They were sent by Liu Nian."
Hearing this name made Xie Shiyu feel uneasy.
Liu Nian...
The man read the name aloud, then gave a cold laugh.
If it's that woman, then things get interesting.
"Why did she want to kill you?" the man asked lazily, leaning back in his chair.
"Maybe... she feels that I've taken her place." That was the only thing Xie Shiyu could think of after thinking it over.
"What location?"
"Mrs. Xi's position."
The man's eyes widened upon hearing this answer. She was Xi Zhengyu's wife?
He asked urgently, eager to know the answer: "Are you married?"
"It's just getting the marriage certificate," Xie Shiyu said, clutching the bedsheet tightly. "It won't be long before I get a divorce."
"His first love is back, so it's time for me to make room." Xie Shiyu said with a self-deprecating smile, her face full of unhappiness and her eyes brimming with tears.
"I don't want to stay on land anymore, I want to go back to the sea."
Looking at her aggrieved expression, the man cursed Xi Zhengyu countless times in his heart.
He should be secretly happy to have such a beautiful wife, how dare he let her suffer?
