Chapter 272: Crazy Testing on the Brink of Falling (Five Updates)
Xi Jiu looked at the anxious look on the little girl's face and immediately took out his cell phone and handed it to her.
Ruan Qi thanked him and dialed Bai Yi's cell phone number.
The phone beeped a few times and then was connected.
"Xiaobai, I'm Ruanruan."
"Ruanruan?!" Bai Yi was surprised for a moment, then quickly asked, "Ruanruan, how are you? They said online that you were in a car accident. Was it serious?"
"I'm fine." Ruan Qi comforted him, "Xiaobai, my phone was broken in the car accident. Please write down my agent's phone number."
Bai Yi wrote down the number with a pen and said, "Ruan Ruan, rest assured and recover in the hospital. I'll take a taxi to see you after I get off the plane tomorrow morning."
…
Not long after, Shen Wenqian came back with a medicine box.
After Ruan Qi took the painkillers, her pale face finally regained some color.
She checked the time. It was half past nine in the evening.
It’s already very late.
The little girl glanced at the man sitting beside the bed, hesitated for a moment, and tugged at his sleeve with her little paw.
"Mr. Xi, it's too late, you..."
Xi Jiu hummed, then turned to Shen Wenqian and said, "It's too late, Mr. Shen, please go home."
Shen Wenqian: “????”
Are you serious?
Have you forgotten that I'm Ruan Qi's manager?!
The little girl was also a little confused by the man's behavior.
She pulled his sleeve again, "Mr. Xi, you..."
"I'll stay with you." Xi Jiu said, his cold eyes focused and gentle. "I'm worried about you being alone in the hospital."
Shen Wenqian: “????”
I'm not human?
Am I air?
Bro, is your selective blindness so serious?!
The man's gaze made the little girl blush a little.
She bit her lip and whispered, "Mr. Xi, it's very tiring to keep watch in the ward."
"It's okay." Xi Jiu gently tucked the corner of the quilt for her, his voice cold and pleasant, "I'm not tired of guarding you."
In the end, Agent Shen was kicked out.
Assistant Mu was also driven away along with him.
The two of them were full of dog food and left the hospital arm in arm. When they walked out of the door, a cold wind blew towards them.
...My heart feels so cold.
…
The ward became quiet again.
Xi Jiu specially filled two small hot water bottles, then wrapped them in towels and stuffed them under Ruan Qi's feet.
The little girl was lying on the hospital bed. The cold wind was howling outside the window, but her little quilt was warm.
Her little feet moved in the quilt, and she squinted her eyes comfortably, wishing she could purr like a kitten.
When Xi Jiu came in after washing the fruit, he saw this scene and his cold features softened.
"Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore." The little girl's voice was not as weak as before.
She looked at the man and said a little embarrassedly, "Mr. Xi, I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble again."
"This is not a problem." Xi Jiu sat down on the chair and gently touched her hair. "I like to protect you."
My heart started beating uncontrollably again.
Ruan Qi could even hear the thumping of her own heart.
She looked away in panic, a little at a loss.
At this moment, something cool touched my lips.
The sweet aroma of strawberries made the little girl's eyes turn around immediately.
She stared at the big strawberry in the man's hand and smacked her lips reflexively.
A smile flashed across Xi Jiu's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Eat."
The little girl immediately let out a cry and stuffed the entire strawberry into her mouth.
The strawberries were a bit big, and the little girl had a bit of trouble chewing them. She puffed out her cheeks like a little hamster.
Xi Jiu looked at her, his eyes full of tenderness.
After eating strawberries, Ruan Qi felt a little sleepy.
She yawned slightly.
"Are you sleepy?" Xi Jiu asked.
The little girl said "hmm" with a nasal tone.
"Go to sleep." Xi Jiu turned off the ceiling light in the ward, leaving only a night light.
He put her hand under the quilt and said, "Sleep well, I'll watch over you."
The little girl curled her lips and then fell asleep in a daze.
…
The next day, Ruan Qi was awakened by a scream.
She opened her eyes in horror, and when she looked up, she saw Xi Jiu with a cold expression, locking a man's arms behind his back and pressing him against the wall.
The person being held down struggled hard, kicking his thin legs wildly.
The little girl looked at this scene with a bewildered expression. Until the person in Xi Jiu's hand revealed a little bit of gray hair -
"Xiaobai?!" she exclaimed.
“Ruanruan…” The gray-haired boy turned his head with great effort, his chubby face deformed by the pressure of the wall, “Ruanruan, save me!”
Ruan Qi's mouth twitched twice.
She looked at Xi Jiu, and Xi Jiu let go of her hand with a cold face.
Bai Yi crawled to the bedside and cried, grabbing the corner of Ruan Qi's quilt.
"Ruanruan, that man bullied me..."
The little girl patted his arm comfortingly and asked, "Xiaobai, did something happen? Mr. Xi would never bully you for no reason."
Xi Jiu, who was furious at his grandmother's behavior, felt relieved immediately after hearing these words.
He curled his lips imperceptibly, walked to the bed and put his hand on her forehead.
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"No." The little girl's eyes curved and her gaze swept over the man's face. "Mr. Xi, have you been awake all this time?"
"I slept for a while." Xi Jiu helped her raise the bed and took the thermos from the bedside. "I'm going to buy breakfast. Just lie down and be good."
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Bai Yi, his expression turned cold.
"Watch her carefully."
The man in white snorted coldly, and after the man left, he immediately threw himself on the bed.
"Ruanruan," he whined, his gray hair tangled in the quilt. "It's only been over a month since we last met, and you're not on my side anymore! Am I still the man you love the most?"
Ruan Qi smiled and let him do whatever he wanted.
"Xiaobai, what exactly happened just now?"
Bai Yi groaned and said unhappily, "When I walked in just now, he just came out of the bathroom. I thought he was a hooligan, so I attacked him. Ruanruan, is he the stinky man you rescued last time in Shanghai?"
Ruan Qi's mouth twitched, "Xiaobai, don't call Mr. Xi like that."
"It's him!" Bai Yi stamped his foot in anger. "Last time I saw that old bastard had bad intentions, and it turned out to be true! Ruanruan, you can't be fooled by the old beast's sugar-coated bullets. I am the man I love the most!"
A string of ellipsis floated above the little girl's head, and a few crows flew by.
At this moment, the cell phone in Bai Yi's pocket rang.
He glanced at the garbled text on the phone screen and raised his eyebrows.
"Ruanruan, he should be from the Eagle Tribe."
Ruan Qi: "Take it."
The man in white pressed the hands-free button, and a voice processed by a voice changer sounded in the ward.
"Meet me tomorrow afternoon at one o'clock, at Villa 111-7, Xicheng District, Imperial Capital."
