Chapter 533 Qiao Xi wakes up
A thin, hunched but imposing old man was respectfully invited into the villa.
An hour later, he left quietly.
No more alarming the others.
Just as casual as when I came.
Dusk is falling.
The prosperous imperial capital was as bright as day, and the lights in the Huo family villa were also on.
Everyone moves around and does things quietly.
The health-preserving porridge Xiaoyuan was stewing in the kitchen was making gurgling sounds. Sun Weimeng had already returned from outside and was grinding medicine powder with a medicine grinder out of boredom.
He muttered, "Everyone outside is praising that old man's medical skills. Why hasn't Qiao Xi woken up yet?"
Old Chen reminded him, "Young Master Sun, no old man has come to our villa today. You must be careful with your words and not let any information leak out."
"oh."
Sun Weimeng nodded obediently, "I'm very tight-lipped. The old man isn't here today. But it's almost dark, and she still hasn't woken up. What are we going to do about tomorrow's game?"
Young Master Sun was worried.
Old Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Young Master Sun, go see what delicious food is in the kitchen. I'll grind the herbs, you're too weak."
"Hey! Old Chen, you dislike me again!"
Young Master Sun pushed the medicine grinder, making it creak, as if in a fit of anger. "I'm quite strong. Ask Xiao Yuan to make the food more fragrant. Maybe Qiao Xi will wake up from hunger."
Old Chen sat aside and laughed.
…
In the master bedroom on the second floor.
The wall lamp is dim and soft.
Qiao Xi lay on the big bed and slowly opened her eyes. Her whole body felt weak as she stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling.
It took a while to recover.
I feel like I have slept for a long time and my head is heavy.
She turned her head slightly and saw the man sitting on the sofa with his back to her. A shadow fell on his profile, which could not hide his fierceness.
There was a laptop in front of him, with red, green and yellow lines on the screen.
Qiao Xi didn't understand, but knew that they were stocks.
She just watched quietly.
Perhaps the gaze was too scorching, the man turned his head away.
"woke up?"
Huo Xingzhou stood up and walked to her bedside, "Would you like some water?"
Qiao Xi supported herself on the bed with both hands and sat up, leaning against the bed and nodding. Her throat was hoarse and she could hardly speak.
Huo Xingzhou handed a cup of warm water to her lips, and Qiao Xi drank a few sips of the hot water.
"alright."
Qiao Xi's voice was soft and weak.
She looked listless, and looked up at Huo Xingzhou deeply without even blinking.
As if afraid that he would run away.
Huo Xingzhou wiped her face with a towel, and seeing her dependent look, he asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Qiao Xi's eyes were red and her eyelids were swollen.
"I felt like I had a very long dream, a very sad and scary dream."
Thinking about it now, there were still tears in her almond-shaped eyes.
"What dream?"
Huo Xingzhou reached out and hugged her, rubbing her cheek.
Her voice was choked with sobs, and she was frail after being ill. “I dreamed about the day you had the car accident.”
Her dream was filled with bright red blood, car wreckage, and a man who was dying and in a coma.
Surrounding them were the exclamations and screams of passers-by and the shrill sirens of ambulances.
All she saw was Huo Xingzhou lying in a pool of blood, almost breathless.
She dreamed of the day when Huo Xingzhou had a car accident.
"I can only watch you. I can't save you. It's like a bystander, watching you being sentenced to death by the doctor. Watching you lying lifeless on the hospital bed, seriously injured and unconscious... So much blood..."
Qiao Xi's tears rolled down.
That was a scene she had never seen before.
But this is what Huo Xingzhou actually experienced.
Huo Xingzhou wiped away her tears, looked at her seriously and said, "Look, I'm standing in front of you now, and my body is warm."
He took her left hand and placed it on his heart: "The heart is beating very strongly."
Then slowly move up to the corners of your lips.
"This mouth can say Qiao Xi, I love you."
Further up is the high nose bridge.
And slightly narrow eyes.
He said, "My eyes can clearly see your expression. I am standing before you alive. The scenes in your dreams will no longer appear. We will live long and grow old together."
Qiao Xi's crying gradually weakened, and she looked at him sobbing.
Nodded heavily.
"Don't cry anymore."
Huo Xingzhou hugged her gently and patted her back to comfort her.
He rarely saw Qiao Xi so vulnerable.
Gurgle gurgle.
There were a few sounds from inside the room, and Huo Xingzhou looked down.
Qiao Xi's cheeks flushed and she felt a little embarrassed.
"I'm hungry."
She hadn't eaten for a day and a night, so she was naturally hungry.
Huo Xingzhou wiped away her tears with a smile, then made an internal call and asked Xiaoyuan downstairs to bring up dinner.
Xiaoyuan quickly brought up a tray with the healthy porridge and side dishes, and also prepared some desserts.
"Young Madam, please eat more. That way you'll have enough energy for the competition tomorrow..."
"Thanks."
Xiao Yuan left quickly and did not stay to disturb Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou's relationship.
Qiao Xi changed her posture to pick up the spoon to drink the porridge, and she suddenly found that the pain in her right arm was not so obvious. She moved her right hand in disbelief, but the pain was still there.
But it is within the tolerable range.
"What's going on?"
She looked at Huo Xingzhou in confusion, "The toxins in the wound haven't been completely removed. Grandpa Cheng's burn medicine is good, but it won't work this quickly."
It works wonders!
"Mr. Huang Bingyi was here. He used acupuncture needles to remove the heat and poison from your body. He said that this would help reduce the fever and alleviate the pain."
"he?"
"He came here secretly, and no one noticed. I originally asked Sun Weimeng to keep an eye on him, but I didn't expect him to come here on his own."
This was also beyond Huo Xingzhou's expectations.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but sigh, "The Golden Needle Technique is indeed well-deserved in its reputation. No wonder so many people want to learn it."
Her injury has improved, so she is not so afraid of tomorrow's game.
She looked at the wound again and again in amazement and marveled again.
Huo Xingzhou walked aside and handed her the phone.
"A lot of people called you. I turned off my phone because I didn't want to disturb your rest."
Qiao Xi turned on her cell phone.
Sure enough, a lot of missed calls and text messages popped up, and for a moment my phone was about to explode.
All of them are 99+ tips.
Qiao Xi clicked on her unread messages and saw a ton of people had sent her messages. Even Shu Xue, who was in Africa providing medical support, said she had watched the live broadcast and was so indignant that she wanted to return home to deal with those evildoers.
Zhou Yu even said that he wanted to come to the imperial capital to exorcise demons and monsters. The two of them used the same rhetoric.
Xu Yunye said that he had contacted most of the medicinal materials dealers across the country and decided to use Tianyuan Group's investment to reorganize the United Medicinal Materials Market. He would definitely support her and protect her.
After looking carefully, I found a caring text message from Zhao Yuzhen, which is really rare.
Her eyes were boiling with anger as she was about to reply to each one.
Suddenly, a number with no remarks called again.
This is the 15th call the other party has made.
