Outside the ward, Chi Zaiqing frowned deeply when he heard Gao Tingyu mention the word "surgery".
He had investigated and found that Shi Xi had scheduled Gao Tingyu's surgery for three days from now, on the first day of next month.
That's already considered fast.
Why is she in such a hurry?
Shi Xi had already paid the medical expenses, and the surgeon this time was a highly respected and skilled renowned expert. Logically speaking, Gao Tingyu had nothing to worry about.
So what is she in such a hurry for?
...
"No, Tingyu, just bear with it a little longer and wait for me to come back. The surgery can start then." Shi Xi shook her head slightly and began reciting her lines.
"Come back?!" Gao Tingyu sat up immediately upon hearing this, glaring at Shi Xi. "Where are you going?!"
"Go to the front lines." Shi Xi announced the news in a calm tone.
Just like in the original storyline, Gao Tingyu exploded, relentlessly pestering him with tears in her eyes, trying to find all sorts of reasons to make him stay.
Shi Xi waited quietly for her to finish performing, then yawned out of boredom, just about to say her last line—
But then he seemed to remember something and suddenly stopped talking.
"...Cold medicine, is there any surveillance or recording equipment here?" he asked his system in his mind.
Although this scene wasn't in the original storyline, he felt that the Chi brothers were capable of doing such a thing.
After all, they were so idle that they dug up Gao Tingyu's secrets from him.
He had to be on guard.
"There really is a tape recorder, right under this bed board," the little yellow chick replied after a pause of one second.
? ? ? ?
Damn, he actually guessed right!
Shi Xi was shocked.
Seeing that Shi Xi was unresponsive, Gao Tingyu grew impatient and hid the fruit knife in her sleeve.
His eyes were filled with a sinister yet lustful gaze as he looked at Shi Xi's chest.
An idea popped into my head—
Once he's dead, his heart belongs to her!
"Brother, don't go." He said, reaching out to hug Shi Xi.
But Shi Xi avoided her directly.
"Cold medicine, activate the shield," Shi Xi said to her system in her mind.
"Yes!" the little yellow chick replied quickly.
She was taken aback for a moment, but Shi Xi didn't give her any chance to catch her breath. She grabbed her and pinned her firmly to the bed.
Gao Tingyu was genuinely panicked now. She feigned ignorance and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"You're hurting me."
"What am I doing?" Shi Xi looked down at her, her violet pupils filled with unfathomable emotions, and took out a fruit knife from her sleeve.
"I was just afraid that swords and spears would have no eyes and might accidentally hurt you."
Gao Tingyu struggled desperately, but He Xi's hands were like vises, pinning her firmly to the spot and preventing her from moving.
She was startled.
What do you mean by being afraid of hurting her? He clearly knows her plans.
Shi Xi grabbed Gao Tingyu's arm with one hand and looked down at the fruit knife in her hand.
This knife is very sharp.
Shi Xi casually twirled the knife, deliberately drawing out her words in a ghostly tone: "It's so sharp, wouldn't it kill you to stab it in the chest?"
He looked at Gao Tingyu with eyes full of worry, "Tingyu can't die."
That's the truth; his story isn't over yet.
Gao Tingyu was stunned for two seconds upon hearing this.
Then a surge of joy welled up inside me.
She thought to herself, "How could my parents' brainwashing be so effective?!"
Why bother doing it herself? She could just ask him for his heart directly.
I doubt he would dare not refuse.
"At least they can't die before me." Shi Xi looked at the expression on her face, smiled slightly, and said slowly.
"???"
Just as Gao Tingyu had felt relieved, she became confused again. She looked up at Shi Xi, whose handsome face remained expressionless.
No, what does he mean?!
He speaks incoherently and incoherently, like he's gone mad, making him impossible to understand.
Before she could figure out what was going on, she suddenly felt a flash of silver light before her eyes. When she came to her senses, she saw that the fruit knife that was originally in Shi Xi's hand was now stuck straight into the bed board next to her cheek!
Gao Tingyu's face was filled with terror, and she instinctively wanted to scream.
"Shh." Shi Xi put her slender finger to her lips. "Tingyu, be good. Shouting and yelling is very rude."
Even though the mute was on, no one else could hear it except the two of them, but it was still very jarring.
It sounds awful.
"Don't worry about the rain."
Shi Xi took a deep breath, patted her head, straightened her upper body slightly, kept her distance from Gao Tingyu, her eyes were cold, but her tone was very gentle:
"You'll be alright."
Gao Tingyu: "...?" Is he a schizophrenic?
She then realized that despite having relied on each other for several years, she really couldn't understand this crazy beta at all.
Having received the notification that the plot points were completed, Shi Xi was too lazy to stay there any longer.
"Cold medicine, remove the shield." He released his grip on Gao Tingyu's hand and said to the little yellow chick in his mind.
"Wait for me to come back."
Shi Xi looked at Gao Tingyu, who was stunned, seemingly speaking to her, but actually talking to the person on the other end of the recording pen.
...
Outside the ward, Chi Zaiqing heard Shi Xi's words, and his anxious mood was instantly soothed.
Chi Yan'an, who had been paying close attention to his expression, subtly relaxed his tense nerves.
Sheng Yingpu also relaxed a bit.
Sensing the subtle shift in the atmosphere, Pei Mu half-opened his eyes and glanced at them with a puzzled look.
'Click—'
The ward door opened.
Shi Xi walked out, her gaze lingering on the Bluetooth earphone in Chi Zaiqing's ear for two seconds.
A hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.
I never expected that this pampered young master Chi Zaiqing would do something so childish as to eavesdrop on other people's conversations.
—He must have a lot of free time.
Shi Xi mentally complained.
"Finished explaining?" Pei Mu asked, "Why did it take so long?"
Shi Xi nodded, helplessly spread her hands, and sighed, "There's nothing I can do. Tingyu can't bear to part with me; she's crying right now."
"I'm sorry for taking up your time."
Gao Tingyu, lying in the hospital bed: "..." The door wasn't closed, I could hear you.
Having been frightened, she didn't dare to utter a sound... she just lowered her head and pondered what Shi Xi really meant by "you'll be alright".
Judging from Shi Xi's words, he clearly already knew the truth, yet he was still willing to give her his heart.
This is completely unlike the thought process of a normal person. What is this madman trying to do...?
Gao Tingyu looked at Shi Xi with a strange expression, various conspiracy theories surfacing in her mind.
Shi Xi slammed the door shut.
Pei Mu pursed his lips, looked at Shi Xi, and said, "I didn't mean to blame you."
"No need to apologize."
"Then I take back what I said." Shi Xiru readily agreed.
"Hmm." Pei Mu nodded slightly, then asked, "Shall we leave now?"
"No." Shi Xi shook her head.
Upon hearing this, the gazes of the three Alphas simultaneously focused on Shi Xi.
They thought at the same time—
Could it be that Shi Xi is reluctant to part with Gao Tingyu and has changed her mind about not going to the battlefield?
