Chapter 54: Explosive Update 3
Xi Jiu compressed the forty-minute journey into just over twenty minutes.
Xixi, who had received the news, was already waiting at the back door of the hotel. As soon as the Maybach stopped, he handed Xijiu the mask and room card he had prepared.
"There's no one around, so go ahead and do it without worry, Master."
Xi Jiu took the mask and put it on, then threw the car keys to Xi Xi and walked quickly into the hotel.
The elevator goes directly to the 12th floor where Ruan Qi's room is located.
Xi Jiu found Ruan Qi's room with ease, swiped his card, opened the door, and entered.
The room was pitch black, with only a dim light coming through the crack in the bedroom door.
Xi Jiu strode over and pushed open the door.
"Baby."
The little girl who was curled up in the quilt stuck her head out.
"Jiujiu..." She stretched out her hand, her voice fragile and hoarse, "Hold me."
Without saying a word, Xi Jiu walked directly to the bed and held the little girl and the quilt in his arms.
The man was very hot-tempered and his body was always warm. Ruan Qi leaned her head against his chest, and her forehead, which had turned cold due to cold sweat, gradually became stained with his body temperature.
"Baby, are you having a nightmare?" Xi Jiu's voice spread in her chest, making her face numb.
Ruan Qi uttered a muffled "hmm".
Xi Jiu's eyes darkened.
Nie Beilou had said that even with his treatment, Ruan Qi's mental state would still be dangerous. The slightest provocation would easily crumble her mental defenses.
What happened to the little girl today?
Xi Jiu narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
At this time, the little girl in his arms stretched out her little hand and gently pulled off his clothes.
"Jiujiu, my hands are cold."
Xi Jiu immediately came back to his senses.
He touched the little girl's hands, and they were icy cold from fingertips to palms. It was clearly the scorching heat of July, but her hands felt as if they had been soaked in ice water in the cold of December.
The man's heart ached slightly.
He held the little girl's hand and rubbed it for a few times, then unbuttoned his shirt and said, "Baby, put your hand in."
Ruan Qi obediently put her little hand in.
The man's body is very hot, with firm muscles beneath his skin, full of explosive power and lines.
Ruan Qi put her hand in for a while, and her fingertips began to warm up. Her entire heart also gradually warmed up.
The panic caused by the nightmare finally dissipated slowly. Smelling the familiar cold pine scent on the man, Ruan Qi finally felt a sense of reality in the real world.
"Jiujiu, am I disturbing you at work?" The little girl, who had returned to normal, began to worry about her daily life.
"No." Xi Jiu squeezed her hand. "It's not an important meeting. We can end it at any time. Even if Bao Bao didn't call, I would have left work."
Ruan Xiaoqi, who was worried that she would affect her boyfriend's work, was comforted.
But soon, she started worrying about another thing.
"Jiujiu, have you had dinner?"
Xi Jiu wanted to say he had eaten. But when he remembered that the little girl had said she had no appetite, he immediately changed the subject and said, "No. I'm very hungry now. Baby, can you eat something with me?"
Ruan Qi had no appetite. But compared to her lack of appetite, her boyfriend's health was more important.
She agreed decisively and even took the initiative to call the hotel to order food.
Not long after, the dining car arrived.
Xi Jiu pushed the dining cart to the dining table, then went back to the bedroom and picked up the little girl.
Ruan Qi let him hold her, her two little hands wrapped around his neck with a sense of dependence.
Xi Jiu carried her to the dining chair, then pulled another chair over and sat down next to her.
The food on the dining car was very rich. Ruan Qi ordered all of Xi Jiu's favorites, and Xi Jiu later asked Xi Xi to add a few more dishes, all of which were the little girl's favorites.
"Jiujiu, eat." The little girl who had no appetite supported her chin and looked at him with her watery eyes.
Xi Jiu's heart melted when he saw her looking at him.
He quickly took two mouthfuls of rice, then used chopsticks to pick up the little girl's favorite dish and put it to her mouth.
"Baby, have a bite."
Ruan Qi hesitated for a moment, then obediently opened her mouth and ate the food.
The food in this hotel is quite delicious. Normally, Ruan Qi can eat at least a big bowl of rice.
But today, for some reason, as soon as the food entered my mouth, a slight feeling of nausea came over me.
Ruan Qi tried to hold it in for a few seconds, but couldn't resist her physiological instinctive reaction and vomited all the food onto the table.
"Baby!"
Xi Jiu's expression suddenly changed.
He threw down his chopsticks and supported the little girl's shoulders, which were shaking from vomiting.
Ruan Qi retched a few times in discomfort, but she hadn't eaten much all day, so she didn't vomit anything except the food she had just eaten.
She took two difficult breaths, and only raised her head slowly after she stopped retching.
Xi Jiu looked at her worriedly, panic and anxiety suppressed deep in his dark eyes.
Ruan Qi forced a faint smile, "Jiujiu, I'm fine. I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, don't worry."
Xi Jiu didn't believe her explanation. He just said "hmm" in a deep voice, then stood up and walked into the kitchen.
Not long after, he came out with a glass of warm water.
"Baby, drink some water to moisten your mouth."
Ruan Qi's mouth felt bitter after vomiting just now. She took the cup of water and gulped down most of the warm water.
The warm water flowed down his throat into his stomach, bringing a little comfort to his uncomfortable body.
Xi Jiu stared at her as she finished the glass of water, and his ugly expression finally relaxed a little.
He took the empty water cup and put it on the table, then took out a candy from the dining cart, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it to the little girl's mouth.
Ruan Qi opened her mouth and put the candy into her mouth. Her watery peach blossom eyes glanced at the dining table that was a mess because of her vomit, and guilt appeared on her pretty face.
"Jiujiu, I'm sorry. I ruined a good dinner."
The girl was still worried about her boyfriend not having enough to eat. But Xi Jiu was in no mood to eat at that moment. All he could think about was why the girl was vomiting.
Could it be related to her mental state?
Ever since learning that Ruan Qi had suffered a major trauma, Xi Jiu began reading books related to psychotherapy.
He knew a little bit that when people experienced huge psychological fluctuations, they would indeed experience symptoms such as vomiting, palpitations, and even coma.
For example, anorexia is a type of psychological illness that is a physical reaction caused by emotions.
Ruan Qi's sudden vomiting was most likely related to the nightmare she had just had and her excessive emotional fluctuations.
When a person has physical reactions due to emotions, it means that her mental illness is developing further.
This speculation made Xi Jiu's blood run cold. An inexplicable unease grew in his heart, like a desolate and dead abyss.
He subconsciously held the little girl's hand.
"Jiujiu?" Ruan Qi looked at him puzzledly.
Xi Jiu tried hard to suppress his inner panic and touched her head calmly.
"Don't worry, baby. I'm not very hungry. I'll call Xixi later and have him order another table of food. What would you like to eat? I just vomited. How about some porridge and hot soup?"
