Chapter 533 Qiao Xi wakes up

A thin, hunched but imposing old man was invited respectfully into the villa.

An hour later, he left quietly.

There was no need to alarm the rest.

Just like coming here casually.

Dusk is falling.

The prosperous imperial capital was ablaze with lights at daybreak, and the lights in the Huo family villa were also on.

Everyone moves and does things quietly.

The health-preserving porridge that Xiaoyuan was cooking in the kitchen was making gurgling sounds. Sun Weimeng had already returned from outside, and was grinding medicine powder with a medicine grinder, looking bored.

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 strict. The old man is not here today. But it's almost dark, and she still hasn't woken up. What should we do about tomorrow's game?"

Young Sun was worried.

Old Chen patted his shoulder and said, "Young Master Sun, go see what delicious food there is in the kitchen. I'll grind the herbs because you're too weak."

"Hey! Old Chen, you're disliking me again!"

As if in a fit of anger, Young Master Sun pushed the medicine grinder, making it creak. "I'm very strong. Ask Xiao Yuan to make the food more fragrant. Maybe Qiao Xi will wake up from hunger."

Lao Chen sat aside and laughed.

…

In the master bedroom on the second floor.

The wall lights are dim and soft.

Qiao Xi lay on the big bed and slowly opened her eyes. Her whole body went limp, and she stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling.

I can't calm down for a while.

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 notebook in front of him, with red, green and yellow lines on the screen.

Qiao Xi didn't understand, but she knew it was stocks.

She just watched quietly.

Perhaps the gaze was too scorching, the man turned his head.

"woke up?"

Huo Xingzhou stood up and walked to her bedside, "Would you like some water?"

Qiao Xi sat up on the bed with her hands, leaned against the bed and nodded. Her voice 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."

Now that I think about it, 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 spoke with the fragility of an illness: "I dreamed about the day you got in a car accident."

Her dream was filled with bright red blood, car wreckage, and a man in a coma who was dying.

All around were the shouts and screams of passers-by and the shrill sirens of ambulances.

All she saw was Huo Xingzhou lying in a pool of blood, almost without breath.

She dreamed of the day when Huo Xingzhou got into 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.

It was a scene she had never seen before.

But this is what Huo Xingzhou really 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: "My 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 elongated eyes.

He said, "My eyes can clearly see your expression. I am standing in front of 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 with sobs.

Nodded heavily.

"Stop crying."

Huo Xingzhou hugged her gently and patted her back soothingly.

He rarely saw Qiao Xi so vulnerable.

Gurgle gurgle.

There were a few noises coming 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 of course she was 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 the tray with the health-promoting porridge and side dishes, and also prepared some desserts.

"Madam, please eat more. This way you will have enough energy for the competition tomorrow..."

"Thank you."

Xiao Yuan left quickly and did not stay to disturb Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou's relationship.

Qiao Xi changed her posture and went to get the spoon to drink the porridge. 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 have not been completely removed. Master Cheng's burn medicine is useful, but it won't work so quickly."

It works wonders!

"Mr. Huang Bingyi came here. He used golden needles to remove the heat poison from you. He said that this would help the fever go away and the injury be alleviated."

"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 worthy of its reputation. No wonder so many people want to learn it."

Her injury has improved, so she is not so scared about tomorrow's game.

She looked at the wound again and again in wonder and sighed 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 freeze up.

All of them are 99+ tips.

Qiao Xi clicked on the unread messages and found that a lot of people had sent her messages. Even Shu Xue, who was providing medical support in Africa, said that she had watched the live broadcast and was so angry that she wanted to return to China 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 men used the same rhetoric.

Xu Yunye said that he had contacted most of the medicinal materials dealers in 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 a careful look, I actually found a caring text message from Zhao Yuzhen, which is really rare.

She was so angry that she was about to reply to each question.

Suddenly, a number without any remarks called again.

This is the 15th call from the other party.
