Chapter 2 Last Night, You Kissed Me

The atmosphere was cold and suffocating.

Qiao Xi covered her heart, her heart pounding wildly. She moved her hips and asked tentatively, "You...you're awake?"

The man kept his eyes closed for a long time without any movement or sound.

Qiao Xi tentatively reached out her hand to cover his eyes, her palms slightly itchy.

Huo Xingzhou slowly closed his eyes.

She turned over and sat on the bed, sweating coldly. Finally, she wiped off all the lipstick marks on Huo Xingzhou's face with her sleeves, and then covered his whole body with a quilt out of guilt.

He still didn't wake up.

Qiao Xi then comforted herself, perhaps it was just her eyes playing tricks on her.

The sound just now was just an auditory hallucination because she was too tired.

She sat by the bed for a long time until it was late at night. In the second half of the night, she covered her lips and yawned repeatedly, and fell asleep unknowingly.

In the middle of the night, she dreamed of the chaotic scene many years ago. Qiao Xi turned over, but missed the man's eyes that opened again.

The sky brightened.

Qiao Xi was awakened by a burst of noise and she opened her sleepy eyes.

Aunt Qian stood beside the bed with a washbasin in her hand. "Madam, please help the young master wash his body."

"I wipe myself?"

"nature."

"Then who wiped it before?" Huo Xingzhou has been in a coma for a month.

"Of course she's a caregiver, but no outsider can compare to your own wife." She said in a firm tone, leaving no room for negotiation.

Qiao Xi, wearing a bright red wedding dress, pursed her lips and helplessly took the towel from Aunt Qian's hand, squeezed out the water, and gently wiped the man's handsome face.

He closed his eyes tightly, without even moving his eyelashes. It turned out to be an illusion last night.

Qiao Xi couldn't ignore his handsome face and her face turned red. Aunt Qian supervised her as she brushed the man's eyebrows, lips, neck and chest.

Inch by inch, the towel wiped every place, even the fingertips were touched.

"Young Master likes cleanliness, please make sure to wipe thoroughly. After wiping, you should also give him a full body massage, which can effectively prevent muscle atrophy. You must be meticulous when taking care of our Young Master."

Aunt Qian's eyes were sharp, and Qiao Xi had no way to fool her. She could only comfort herself by treating Huo Xingzhou like the patients she had treated before.

With this thought in mind, her movements became more careful and professional.

Aunt Qian looked at it and nodded secretly.

Qiao Xi held his wrist and spread out his fingers with a towel, wiping them carefully. Huo Xingzhou's fingers were white and slender, with distinct joints, very beautiful.

"Um?"

The pulse where her fingertips pressed was beating strongly, and Qiao Xi uttered a questioning sound.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Qian asked.

Qiao Xi shook her head. Aunt Qian looked at her calmly and said, "You and Young Master are already a married couple. Aunt Qian is also an experienced person, so be generous."

She rolled out a towel and handed it to Qiao Xi, "There's still some down there that you haven't wiped yet."

Which one below?

The redness on Qiao Xi's cheeks spread like a burning cloud.

He is a patient!

He's just a patient!

Grandpa Cheng once said that a great doctor treats patients with calmness and freedom from desire. She would try to be single-minded and treat every patient as if they were a piece of wood or stone.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath and exhaled the hot air. She held the towel and tentatively reached into the sheets, moving down along the man's abdomen. She could feel the muscle lines through the thin towel.

She was thinking in a daze that this man had a very good appearance and figure, which was perfect for practicing acupuncture.

Sudden!

Her wrist was held by a warm hand.

In my ear, a thin male voice said firmly with a hint of annoyance, "No, no... wipe your lower body."

Bang!

The washbasin in Aunt Qian's hand fell to the ground. After a moment of silence, she ran out of the room screaming, "Madam, the young master is awake!"

Huo Xingzhou, awake?

Qiao Xi's heartbeat quickened, and she stood up and turned to look at the man on the bed. His obsidian eyes, mixed with coldness and shame, stared straight at her.

Qiao Xi held the towel tightly and lowered her voice: "I... I just followed Aunt Qian's instructions and wiped your body."

"last night."

Huo Xingzhou's voice was hoarse, his eyes were cold, and he spoke each word with accusation, "You kissed me secretly, many times."

Qiao Xihun's body stiffened, and she really wanted to find a piece of tofu and bang her head against it to death.

…

There were chaotic footsteps in the corridor, and the whole villa was in chaos. The bedroom was soon filled with white coats, and all the irrelevant people were squeezed out of the room.

Qiao Xi slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, stood in the corner, stared at the closed door, and relaxed.

Finally, I don’t have to face Huo Xingzhou alone.

"My wife is here."

"Mrs."

The crowd in the corridor parted, and a woman wearing a plain cheongsam and with an elegant temperament walked over and looked at her.

This is Huo Xingzhou's biological mother, the second wife of the Huo family, Du Ya.

Qiao Xi straightened her back subconsciously, feeling a little nervous.

"You're fine."

Mrs. Huo held her hand and said repeatedly, "It's all thanks to you that Xingzhou woke up."

I didn't expect that a dead horse could really be treated as a living one!

She took off the luxurious emerald green bracelet on her wrist and put it into Qiao Xi's hand.

"Madam, this is too expensive!"

"Good girl, don't refuse." Du Ya patted the back of her hand and said, "This is my meeting gift to my daughter-in-law."

Qiao Xi pursed her dry lips and forced a smile: "Mrs. Huo, I'm not from the Su family..."

"I know. Su Heng sent a stepdaughter here because he saw that our second branch had lost power. But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Xingzhou still has a big project in his hands. There will always be a time for him to make a comeback..."

She paused and said, "Anyway, from today on, you are the only daughter-in-law that I, Du Ya, have chosen."

Mrs. Huo looked at her pretty face and found her more and more pleasing to the eye.

"We need your care for our trip. You are a blessed person, and my son has benefited from your kindness. From now on, you can call me mom. His sister has gone to the temple to pray for peace and blessings, and his father is busy cleaning up the mess. Let's have a good meal together some other day."

Qiao Xi looked at the sincerity in her eyes and her eyes became moist. It turns out that not all mothers in the world are selfish.

The villagers said she was a bad luck, a jinx, and a lonely star. She killed her own father and her own mother ran away with a rich man.

This is the first time someone says she is blessed.

Squeak.

The door of the master bedroom was suddenly opened.

The leading doctor took off his stethoscope and mask and said, "The second young master's body functions are gradually recovering, and his brain nerve functions are not damaged. However, there are multiple bruises in the bone marrow of his legs, and he has no feeling at all. The risk of surgery is very high."

"Then it can't be cured?"

Du Ya couldn't believe it and asked.

"Yes, the second young master's legs are disabled, which will affect his fertility." The doctor's words were very cruel.

"I'm sorry. Unless..." He pushed up his glasses, "unless we find Mr. Dou Cheng, the famous Chinese medicine expert. He has had successful cases. But he has retired and no one has known his whereabouts for so many years. There is little hope."

Mrs. Huo's face was full of dejection when she heard this. Who else in this world can find the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han?

There was a hint of doubt in Qiao Xi's eyes, but Huo Xingzhou's legs were clearly...

She was just hesitating whether to say something when her cell phone in her inner pocket vibrated.
