This time, Qiqi didn't deny it. She nodded listlessly, her little expression a bit tired: "Yeah, a little tired. Little Nine Brother, I want to sleep for a while. Remember, call me in an hour..."
Before she could even utter the word "I," her small body lurched forward.
Huo Yusen instinctively reached out to help, but he couldn't move, and his face turned extremely pale with anxiety.
Qiqi buried her face in the blanket, and you couldn't even hear her breathing.
If she hadn't spoken to Huo Yusen earlier, he would have thought she had fainted again.
Huo Yusen frowned, looking at Qiqi's almost folded sleeping position, face down, which must be very uncomfortable.
He wanted to help her adjust her posture, but he couldn't. He could only glance sideways at the bodyguard next to him, who stood like a wooden post.
"What are you standing there for? Find Qiqi a more comfortable sleeping position."
Huo Yong quickly walked to the other side of the bed, bent his long legs on the bed, and carefully reached out to support Qi Qi's shoulders, moving her a little.
He turned the little girl's head back to normal; her chubby little face was slightly pale, and there was sweat on her forehead.
Huo Yong glanced at his young master, then reached for a tissue and wiped the sweat from Qi Qi's face.
After thinking for a moment, she moved Qiqi closer to the young master, making her even closer to him.
Huo Yusen gave him a cold glance.
Huo Yong and Huo Fei were retired special forces soldiers that his grandmother hired at great expense after his parents passed away.
They are usually aloof, serious, and rarely smile, and rarely do anything other than what their employers ask them to do.
but……
He glanced at Qiqi's obedient and peaceful sleeping posture, and the embarrassment of having his pants forcibly pulled down, the restlessness of being unable to move his whole body, and the bone-chilling coldness in his legs all became less unbearable.
Well, Huo Yong did a pretty good job with this task that wasn't what he ordered.
I'll give him a bonus later!
Qiqi slept for an hour, and Huo Yusen watched over her for an hour.
Mingming told him before Qiqi went to sleep that he would wake her up in an hour, but Huo Yusen couldn't bear to wake her up when he saw her sleeping so soundly.
As a result, Qiqi woke up on her own. When she opened her eyes and met Huo Yusen's eyes, she immediately smiled sweetly.
"Brother Xiao Jiu." Qi Qi stretched and crawled to Huo Yusen's legs. "I'll help you remove the needle."
"good."
The needles were removed quickly; Qiqi finished quickly and put all the silver needles into the box.
"Little Brother Jiu, you should rest now, I'm going back to sleep too." Qiqi said, and started to climb off the bed with her little bottom sticking out.
After regaining his mobility, Huo Yusen immediately put on his pajama bottoms. When he turned his head, he saw Qiqi struggling to slide down the bed, and he reflexively reached out and grabbed her little arm.
Qiqi was hanging halfway off the edge of the bed, about to slip off, but Huo Yusen pulled her back. So she turned her head to look at him in confusion.
"Hmm? Brother Jiu, what's wrong?"
"It's too late, and it's too much trouble to run around. Just sleep here." Huo Yusen was surprised when he said this.
Since his family members passed away one after another, his grandmother has protected him like a rare animal, and fewer and fewer people are around him, making him increasingly uncomfortable with human interaction.
Moreover, he hates having someone next to him when he sleeps, but just now when the little girl was sleeping next to him, looking at her well-behaved and serene face, he only felt very peaceful inside.
He hadn't felt this kind of peace in a long time.
Qiqi tilted her head, frowned, and asked in confusion, "But Grandpa Dean said that girls can't sleep with boys."
“We can’t sleep together, but that’s for when we’re older. We’re still kids now, so it’s okay,” Huo Yusen said.
"Is that so?" Qiqi didn't understand.
Huo Yusen nodded: "In kindergarten, all the children sleep in the same room. If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji."
The children in the kindergarten do indeed sleep in the same room.
What he didn't say was that they each had their own beds and wouldn't sleep in the same bed.
However, for some reason, he didn't want Qiqi to know about this.
Qiqi's big, dark eyes curved into crescents as she smiled sweetly and shook her head: "No need, I believe in Brother Xiao Jiu."
After saying that, she lifted her short legs, climbed back onto the bed, and handed the box of silver needles in her hand to Huo Yong.
"Uncle Bodyguard, could you please take these silver needles to be sterilized? Thank you."
"Miss Qi, you're too kind. It's all I should do."
Huo Yong took the silver needles, glanced at his young master with a strange expression, met the young master's cold warning gaze, immediately lowered his head, and turned to leave.
During their time in the army, they had witnessed a lot of bloodshed and met many reckless people, but even the most ruthless desperados were not as imposing as the young master's mere glance.
Huo Yong thought more than once that when his young master grew up, he would definitely become a top figure.
Under his leadership, the Huo family will surely reach another peak.
This is probably why the Huo family's mortal enemies are determined to kill the young master no matter what!
Qiqi was about to climb to the other side of the bed and lie down when, the moment Huo Yong turned around, she saw a deathly aura suddenly gather between his brows.
"Uncle Bodyguard, wait a minute!" Qiqi scrambled to the bedside and waved to Huo Yong, who was standing there. "Come here for a second."
Huo Yong subconsciously looked at Huo Yusen, and seeing Huo Yusen nod, he walked up to Qi Qi.
He was so tall, over 180 cm, that Qiqi had to crane her neck to see his face while sitting on the bed.
Qiqi felt like her neck was about to break. She looked at Huo Yong with an innocent expression and said, "Uncle Bodyguard, could you squat down for a moment?"
She couldn't draw any talismans at that height.
Huo Yong was taken aback. Then, looking at the little girl who was still sitting on the bed, he realized what had happened and quickly squatted down to apologize.
"Excuse me, Miss Qiqi. May I ask what you need?"
"Uncle Bodyguard, there's a deathly aura between your eyebrows. You'll face a fatal calamity in the next three days, so I'm going to draw a peace charm for you."
Qiqi stood on the bed, tiptoeing, and reached out to touch his forehead.
He used his spiritual power to draw a peace charm between his eyebrows, then clapped his hands and said, "Alright!"
"Thank you, Miss Qiqi."
Seeing Huo Yong about to leave, Qi Qi suddenly remembered, "Oh right, what about the other bodyguard, Uncle Huo Fei?"
The two bodyguards' mission is to protect Xiao Jiu, so they secretly follow him and only appear when he needs them.
If this bodyguard uncle is in danger, then the other bodyguard uncle, and even Xiao Jiu brother, should also be in danger.
But……
Qiqi turned her head and looked at Huo Yusen, frowning slightly in confusion.
She had previously thought that Xiao Jiu's face looked strange; she could only see a very faint hint of it.
It's as if a veil has been draped over it, making it difficult to see clearly.
