There was no smell of disinfectant in the VIP ward. The rhythmic ticking sound filled the room. Xiao Qifeng's eyelashes trembled slightly, indicating that he was not sleeping soundly.
Lu Wanzheng's consciousness gradually returned, and a few seconds later she weakly opened her eyes.
The first thing I saw was a snow-white wall. I turned my head slightly and saw an IV drip bottle that was about to finish dripping.
She felt her hand being enveloped by a warm hand, and instinctively struggled.
Xiao Qifeng, who was in a light sleep, woke up immediately, his eyes covered with a thin layer of mist.
A low, husky yet intoxicating voice rang out: "Awake?"
He got up and raised the bed frame so that Lu Wanzheng could sit up against the bed.
He looked up again at the nearly empty transparent IV bottle, pressed the call button, and asked the nurse to come in and remove the needle.
From the moment Lu Wanzheng woke up until the nurse left, she didn't say a word, and Xiao Qifeng didn't say anything after that, except for his first sentence.
Lu Wanzheng repeatedly closed and opened her eyes, but Xiao Qifeng did not disappear after she opened them.
This is not an illusion!
She remembered that when she came out of the ruins, she did vaguely see a familiar face, but she couldn't see it clearly and didn't dare to believe it, so she fainted.
After the nurse left, Xiao Qifeng sat on the edge of the bed and pulled Lu Wanzheng into his arms without saying a word.
He buried his head in Lu Wanzheng's neck, rubbing his chin against hers, and hugged her tightly. "Do you know what I went through yesterday? When I learned that there was an earthquake in Kongjia Village and that you were missing, I wished I could grow wings and fly to your side to find you. Only when I see you can I feel at ease."
The overwhelming scent of male hormones was irresistible.
Lu Wanzheng was stunned by Xiao Qifeng's actions. She just stood there, letting him hold her and listen to him talk. Her heart was pounding like a deer, and her cheeks flushed red.
Xiao Qifeng had fine stubble on his chin, and he kept rubbing against Lu Wanzheng's neck, making her skin feel itchy. She wanted to push him away but couldn't.
"Mr. Xiao, it itches!" Perhaps because she had just woken up, Lu Wanzheng's voice was a little hoarse.
After hearing Lu Wanzheng's words, Xiao Qifeng removed his chin from her neck, but still held her tightly.
The two fell silent again.
It wasn't until Lu Wanzheng heard a soft sigh from above that she felt the person holding her loosen their embrace.
Xiao Qifeng got up and poured Lu Wanzheng a glass of water to soothe her throat.
After drinking a glass of water, Lu Wanzheng felt the dryness in her throat relieved.
"Isn't Mr. Xiao working today?"
"Work is not as important as you." Xiao Qifeng sat back on the edge of the bed. "I almost thought I was going to lose you."
"Bang!" It felt like something had struck Lu Wanzheng's heart.
Xiao Qifeng suddenly became serious. Sunlight streamed in from the window, illuminating his profile and giving it a pale golden hue.
"Lu Wanzheng, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Lu Wanzheng was stunned by Xiao Qifeng's sudden confession, her eyes blinking absently at him.
She scrutinized the handsome man before her, trying to determine whether he was telling the truth or not, her mind racing.
The situation reached a stalemate.
"You..." After a long silence, she finally managed to utter a few words, "Are you serious?"
Xiao Qifeng's expression instantly turned grim, as if a storm was brewing.
