Chapter 132 High Fever Nightmare
In the study.
Huo Xingzhou sat at his desk, with a faint red tinge at the corners of his eyes, leaning lazily on his office chair.
There was a black object as big as a fingernail on the table. Chen Xun was knowledgeable and knew that it was a pinhole camera.
Chen Xun had cold sweat on his forehead and his whole body was stiff, not knowing what was going on.
Huo Xingzhou raised his eyes, without a trace of warmth in them: "Chen Xun, are you going to say it yourself or am I going to say it?"
"Mr. Huo, I don't know what you mean."
"Everything you've done for Xu Xingluo since you returned to Haicheng." Huo Xingzhou looked at him coldly, "You know I hate betrayers the most. I'm giving you one last chance to confess."
Chen Xun's heart convulsed and his blood almost froze.
"Mr. Huo, I'm sorry." Chen Xun thought that if Qiao Xi handled it gently, the matter would be over.
I didn't expect Huo Xingzhou to settle the score later.
"Go ahead." He lowered his eyes and said casually.
Chen Xun straightened his body and said in a trembling voice, "The first time was when Miss Xu wanted to join Tianyuan Group, and I let her in. I felt that you still had feelings for her."
"The second time was in the Imperial Capital. The young lady called you, and I deleted the call records. I also told her that you were very busy during this period and asked her not to call."
"And... I took a video of you in the hotel and sent it to Miss Xu. She... she sent it to the young lady on purpose, but the young lady didn't misunderstand and also contacted me privately."
"Mr. Huo, I'm so sorry."
Huo Xingzhou sneered and said, "You really are going to great lengths to help Xu Xingluo and alienate our relationship."
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong." Chen Xun lowered his head, full of shame.
The room was silent for a long time. Chen Xun's leg muscles ached. He heard Huo Xingzhou say, "What about this? Did you pretend?"
The man twisted a miniature camera on his slender fingers, his eyes filled with disgust.
"No!" Chen Xun said anxiously, "I haven't done anything else."
Huo Xingzhou sneered, "Then I'll give you a chance to make amends. This thing was found in the master bedroom, and the pictures and videos on it have been synced to the other party's cloud."
"You have two days to find Feiluan and delete all backups to ensure they are not leaked."
Chen Xun was complaining in his heart. The top female hacker Fei Luan had a bad temper, but President Huo was even more terrifying.
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Huo Xingzhou kindly reminded: "If you can't do that, then go to the Arctic to develop natural gas projects."
"I can definitely do it!" Chen Xun thought of the desolate and cold Arctic, and unprecedented motivation surged in his heart.
"Get out."
Huo Xingzhou closed his eyes slightly and pressed his temples with his fingertips.
He hadn't slept all day and all night, and his eyes were slightly dark. He smelled faintly of alcohol and was overcome by fatigue.
Huo Xingzhou leaned back in his chair, and in a half-awake state he seemed to see the snow-capped cave from ten years ago.
In the pitch-black snow cave, the delicate girl warmed him with her body.
The only girl who joined the adventure camping trip was Xu Xingluo.
He woke up in the hospital and was told by everyone that it was Xu Xingluo who saved him. From then on, he always had a more tolerant and special attitude towards Xu Xingluo, and was willing to protect her for the rest of her life.
But tonight, in a trance, the invisible face in the snow mountain cave became the young Qiao Xi.
What did she look like as a girl? Was she the same as he imagined?
…
A night passed.
A scream in the early morning woke up Huo Xingzhou, who was staying in the study overnight.
"Young Madam, why are you sleeping in the living room!" Aunt Qian saw that her cheeks were abnormally red and reached out to touch her forehead.
So hot!
"Young Madam, wake up." Aunt Qian supported the dizzy Qiao Xi and said, "Let's go back to the room."
When they reached the corridor, Huo Xingzhou opened the study door and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"
"The young lady has a fever."
"Let me do it." Huo Xingzhou took Qiao Xi and lifted her up gently. Her touch was hot.
He put the woman in his arms on the big bed and called a private doctor.
Qiao Xi's body was burning, her lips were chapped, and the air she exhaled was hot. She opened her eyes weakly and looked at the man standing beside the bed. She called out in a hoarse voice, "Mr. Huo."
After she got home from work at four or five in the morning, she felt so tired that she fell asleep on the sofa.
I lost consciousness as soon as I fell asleep.
"Drink some warm water." Huo Xingzhou poured her a cup of warm water and put it to her mouth.
Qiao Xi obediently went over and took two sips, then said aggrievedly, "It's bitter."
Aunt Qian took the thermometer and gave her a "drip".
"Wow, 39.2 degrees," she said embarrassment. "I don't know what medicine to take."
Qiao Xi coughed twice and said with difficulty: "Just take some antipyretics. It should be the flu from the hospital, it's okay." She was too busy with work these two days and didn't take proper precautions.
As the seasons change, this kind of problem is more likely to occur in summer.
She asked Aunt Qian to give her some antipyretic medicine from the medicine box and swallowed it with water.
"I just need a good sleep." She wasn't that delicate.
Aunt Qian looked at her worriedly and felt uncomfortable.
She looked at Huo Xingzhou again and said, "Master, please go to the next room to rest. I will take care of the young lady."
The flu is contagious.
"I'll watch over her here. Aunt Qian, go to the kitchen and make some porridge and side dishes. She loves pickled cucumbers and sea cabbage. It'll whet her appetite."
He always had a good memory and remembered all her preferences.
After taking the medicine, Qiao Xi felt dazed and had no energy. She fell asleep without knowing when. From time to time, she could hear someone whispering in her ears and the door of the room opened and closed.
She seemed to be in a dream, but also in reality.
Her forehead and palms burned, her legs cold. She curled up in the quilt, as if covered in ice and snow that year. She lay on a warm back, the young man's lean body carrying her.
He also has a very pleasant smell.
“Ah…”
She closed her eyes tightly and tried to call him but was haunted by a nightmare.
The scene changed, becoming even more bizarre.
She dreamed that all those close to her had died, and she was left alone in the vast world.
"grandmother……"
Qiao Xi's face was covered with tears and she was sobbing and unable to wake up.
"Qiao Xi..." Huo Xingzhou patted her cheek lightly, "Qiao Xi, wake up."
He sat by the bed, listening to her calling out a name indistinctly, and watching her crying sadly in her dream.
I don’t know what she dreamed about that made her so uncomfortable.
"Qiao Xi!"
Huo Xingzhou leaned over, his eyes gentle and soothing, "It's all a dream, just wake up and it will be fine."
Qiao Xi's eyelashes were wet and she stared at him blankly with her eyes open.
Suddenly she sat up, hugged him tightly, and cried loudly in his arms.
Huo Xingzhou patted her back gently, again and again.
Qiao Xi sobbed non-stop, clutching her chest in pain, "Mr. Huo, I dreamed that my grandma passed away. I no longer have any relatives..."
