Chapter 835 Nightmare
As soon as the door was opened, the crying inside became more obvious.
Huo Xingzhou took two steps at a time with his long legs and walked to the bedside. He found that Qiao Xi had not woken up. She didn't know what she had dreamed about, but her face was covered with tears, and she looked very pitiful.
He didn't wake her.
Instead, he wrung out a towel and wiped the tears from her face.
It is said that people who are having nightmares cannot be woken up at will. Although he does not believe those rumors, he does not want to take risks with Qiao Xi at all.
She cried so hard that she couldn't speak.
Huo Xingzhou held her hand and found that her palms were sweaty.
Qiao Xi woke up crying, her eyes were hazy but she could vaguely see a figure. She sniffed, and the tears in the corners of her eyes could not help but fall.
Huo Xingzhou wiped away her tears.
"Did you have a nightmare?"
"It wasn't a nightmare." Her voice was slightly nasal, and she sounded aggrieved. "It was things that had already happened. I dreamed that Yi died and then he appeared alive in front of me. But I dreamed that grandma died, but she never came back."
Qiao Xi lay on the bed, staring at the snow-white ceiling.
Once the Lu family's affairs were resolved, she felt as if she had let go of something. Then she felt exhausted and her mind was full of thoughts.
The chaos made her uneasy.
She lay down and took a nap, but her physical fatigue did not ease at all, instead she felt even worse.
Now I feel my whole body is very heavy.
Even stretching my fingers felt exhausting, and speaking was even more powerless.
When people cling to something for too long, once it disappears, it's as if they've lost their backbone.
Huo Xingzhou tucked the sweat-soaked hair on her forehead back and said, "Grandma will be happy only if you live well. She must be watching you from heaven. Seeing the Lu family fall today, she should be able to rest in peace."
"But those who leave will never come back."
There was still moisture on Qiao Xi's eyelashes.
Huo Xingzhou stretched out his finger and tapped the tip of her nose. "I only realized today how greedy you are. There is gain and loss. Although grandma has left you, you now have many more people around you to accompany you. No one in this world can be with you forever."
"Can't you, too?"
"Birth, old age, sickness and death. Even if I have immense power, I cannot change them."
Qiao Xi felt that she was too greedy to expect such a thing.
She calmed down the panic and throbbing in her heart and said, "I'm sorry, I don't know what was going on in my head."
Huo Xingzhou rubbed her face and said, "Don't overthink it. Everything has been resolved. Think about what you're going to do after we return to Haicheng. Your family and friends are there, and it's more worthy of your stay than the imperial capital."
He wanted to divert her attention.
When Qiao Xi heard Haicheng, she felt more longing in her heart.
Huo Xingzhou asked softly, "Are you hungry?"
She shook her head.
Morning sickness made her throat feel very uncomfortable, as if something was stuck in it. She had no appetite at all, and even the thought of her favorite dish, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, made her feel nauseous.
The reaction today was particularly intense.
"I'll have the kitchen prepare some food and serve it up whenever you want. Is there anything in particular you'd like to eat?"
Qiao Xi shook her head again, "I want to lie down for a while."
"good."
Huo Xingzhou wiped her cheeks and neck to make her feel more comfortable.
This time he didn't leave, but sat in the room with the documents and laptop.
When Qiao Xi looked at him, she felt much more at ease.
Just drowsy.
I suddenly developed a high fever in the middle of the night.
She was pregnant and couldn't take medication, but Cheng Han had drunk a lot during the day and had already fallen asleep. Even if he woke her up, his hands were shaking from the cold wine and he couldn't give her an acupuncture needle.
No one knew who leaked the news, but even Huo Sijiao and Xie Xubai came.
Sun Weimeng said loudly: "Looking for Mr. Huang!"
Old Chen felt that this was inappropriate: "The old man of the Zhong family is seriously ill and needs Mr. Huang to look after him. I'm afraid he's busy. How about I go find Dr. Shen? Or I can pay a private doctor to come to my house."
Huo Xingzhou made the decision: "Let's ask Shen Xuanzhi to come."
"Okay, I'll drive over right away."
Old Chen didn't dare to delay, after all, the young lady's situation was special.
Huo Sijiao took a towel and wiped Qiao Xi's body. Seeing her little face flushed red, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"Why does my sister-in-law have a high fever? Did she catch a cold? Or was she infected? You grown men have no manners and don't pay attention to your behavior. I think I should move back home for the next few days."
She and Xie Xubai got their marriage certificate, and the couple lived alone in a villa.
Although the most intimate thing had happened, it was really forced. Now that they were facing each other every day, Huo Sijiao felt a little overwhelmed.
After all, Xie Xubai looked gentle and elegant, but in reality, he was quite sinister. She felt a little embarrassed, and felt that the deal between them had changed.
Her sister-in-law happened to be sick, so she went home to take care of her for two days.
My sister-in-law is pregnant now, so I need to take good care of her. There is no other woman in the house except Xiaoyuan. Xiaoyuan is busy with kitchen work all day and definitely can't take care of my sister-in-law.
Even with my brother around, not all issues can be discussed between husband and wife.
Huo Sijiao decided, "I'll live here!"
There was no room for negotiation with Huo Xingzhou.
Huo Xingzhou glanced at Xie Xubai, and there was helplessness in his eyes.
Xie Xubai said softly, "Since Jiaojiao is willing to stay, then let her stay. I'll come pick her up after a while."
Sun Weimeng tutted his tongue and muttered, "How could such a good man become a henpecked husband?"
"Sun Weimeng, what are you talking about?" Huo Sijiao's ears were sharp. "Be careful or I'll tear your mouth apart."
She is now very embarrassed and annoyed that others are making jokes about her and Xie Xubai. The two of them are in an awkward stage in their relationship.
Sun Weimeng was not afraid of her. He stuck out his tongue and made a face: "Come on, come on!"
"you……"
"Don't mess around."
Huo Xingzhou warned, "If you want to make trouble, get out."
Both of them were afraid of Huo Xingzhou, so they kept their mouths shut. Their eyes exchanged, but it wasn't very friendly.
Xie Xubai looked at the heater in the room and said, "How about turning it on? There are so many people in the room and the air isn't circulating well, which isn't good for the patient's health. But the temperature outside is very low, so just turn it on for a while."
"Um."
Huo Xingzhou also felt a little bored. He had neglected such details because of his worries before.
Huo Sijiao was puzzled. "How come you, a person from the imperial capital, still want to open the windows for fresh air in winter? Isn't this a habit of us people from Haicheng?"
Even if it is very cold in winter in the south, they always open the windows to let in some fresh air.
Xie Xubai said softly: "Looking at your usual habits at home, I thought you all like it."
Huo Sijiao didn't have much to say, but her lips curled up, her cheeks flushed, and she felt embarrassed and annoyed. She couldn't help but say, "Why are you talking so much? Go downstairs and wait. It's not good for you to stay in my brother and sister-in-law's room."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Sun Weimeng got goosebumps listening to this. What a loving couple!
