Chapter 176 Heartbeat like a drum
Huo Yan is coming back?
Su Lingyu's eyes lit up while she was in a daze, and she subconsciously looked towards the door.
Chen Zhou added: "In another hour, the leader will be back!"
Su Lingyu: "..."
She curled up back into the quilt, biting the corner of it, leaving only a pair of lifeless eyes staring at the ceiling.
[Another hour? You'll come back just in time to collect the body, right?]
[The most embarrassing way to die in history is undoubtedly me! ]
[Is Huo Yan a snail? That dog thing can't even fly? Bad review! Huh...]
The system quickly said: [Host, don't worry, I will also find a way for you. ]
Su Lingyu was helpless and wanted to cry: [What can you think of? ]
It was harder to bear if she didn't know the time, but now that she knew the exact time, Su Lingyu found it even more unbearable.
She was almost out of her mind and really didn't want to embarrass herself, so she bit her lip and rolled to Wang Yiling's side, rubbed her with her head, and broke the silence with a small voice.
"Yi Ling, you, you are a martial artist, right? Can you give me a blow and knock me out?"
Wang Yiling: “…Okay.”
Looking at her raised knife hand, Su Lingyu trembled and closed his eyes, but he did not forget his fellow sufferers, and said with some kindness: "Knock out Gu Yanying later."
Wang Yiling: “…”
She looked at Gu Yanying with a questioning look.
Gu Yanying took a deep breath and refused coldly: "I don't need it."
Before Su Lingyu fell into a coma, she heard a cold, stubborn and confident "I don't need it" in her ears.
There seemed to be some sound from the system, but she didn't have time to hear what it said.
She felt a little angry for some reason: Yes, yes, let her use it!
…
Su Lingyu had an extremely passionate dream.
This dream was more exciting than everything Huo Yan had done to her since the hot spring villa.
She woke up gasping for breath and opened her hazy eyes to find that Wang Yiling, who was sitting beside her bed, was gone. Chen Zhou was gone, and Gu Yanying was also gone.
The large incandescent light bulb hanging from the ceiling was turned off. Only a dim table lamp beside the bed was on. The room was very quiet.
The pillowcase that bound her hands was taken off and laid neatly on the pillow; her hands were free.
She moved her wrist and didn't feel any pain, probably because it was not tied tightly.
But the heat in her body did not go away and continued to overwhelm her mind, making her eager to find a swimming pool to jump into.
Suddenly, a clear sound of water rang out and penetrated her eardrums.
It looks like someone is taking a shower in the bathroom?
Su Lingyu struggled to get up from the bed, and asked the system in her mind:
[Xiao Tongzi, is Huo Yan back? ]
[Only when he comes back, will Wang Yiling and the others leave? They will feel at ease leaving me alone in the room, right?]
The system quickly said: [Yes, host, it is Huo Yan who has returned. ]
Its cute little voice was full of yin and yang: [He is taking a bath! While you are still asleep, he is taking a bath for the third time. He probably wants to serve you well! ]
[Simply a wolf in sheep's clothing! Simply insane! ]
Su Lingyu blushed: […If he didn’t have evil intentions, he couldn’t be my antidote, right?]
The system is puzzled: [Host, why do I feel that you are looking forward to it? ]
Su Lingyu: [……]
The system then said: [However, host, do you really need Huo Yan's help? ]
Su Lingyu panted lightly and asked confusedly: [What do you mean? In my current situation, if I don't let him help me, do I really have to go take a cold bath? ]
Compared to catching a cold by soaking in cold water, it is better to...
Just at this moment, the bathroom door opened, and Huo Yan, wearing a white vest and army green trousers, walked out.
He walked towards the bed while wiping his dripping wet hair. His arm muscles were firm and smooth, and he looked very powerful but not too strong. His long straight legs were wrapped in military pants, making him look even more solid and slender.
Every move he made was full of masculine hormones, and Su Lingyu couldn't help but sigh in amazement at his good figure with broad shoulders and narrow waist, even though she was very familiar with it.
This man is hers.
When Huo Yan found that Su Lingyu had gotten up, he paused for a moment, then immediately quickened his pace towards the bed. He did not even bother to wipe his hair, but simply threw the towel in his hand over the back of the chair.
Sitting on the bed, he held her arms with both hands, looked at her with calm eyes, and asked nervously: "Why did you wake up? How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
At this moment, the system's baby voice said again: [No need to soak in cold water, I have a way! ]
[In order to prevent Huo Yan from succeeding, I really tried my best! ]
[Host, before you were knocked unconscious by Wang Yiling's knife, I found out that there is a "detoxification pill" in our points mall! One pill is 200 points, not expensive, and it can remove 19% of the negative status after taking it, and it is definitely a piece of cake to eliminate the side effects of the spring medicine! ]
【Would you like to give it a try? 】
Su Lingyu: [……]
She raised her eyes in a trance and looked at Huo Yan. Huo Yan's calm eyes were as deep as ink and he looked into her eyes.
Su Lingyu said: […Yes.]
She still remembered her fellow sufferers: [Can I redeem one for Gu Yanying as well? Items redeemed from the Points Mall can be used by others, but items redeemed with Merit Points are restricted to my own use, right?]
The system's baby voice said excitedly: [Yes! ]
[Two "detoxification pills" have been exchanged, one for you and one for Gu Yanying.]
【Wow, perfect! 】
[Huo Xiaoyan's plan is going to fail. His shower was in vain! He even took a shower three times. Haha, he must be pissed off!]
Su Lingyu: [……]
Huo Yan: “…”
Observing Su Lingyu's expression, Huo Yan raised his hand and touched her face, brushed the wet hair on her forehead to the side of her face, and kissed her forehead tenderly.
Then he asked, "How do you feel now?"
Detoxification pills are indeed good stuff.
After taking the detoxification pill, the fire in Su Lingyu's body gradually died down within a few seconds, and his chaotic brain regained clarity, no longer needing to restrain himself.
But she still felt wronged.
She reached out and hit the man in front of her, and asked with a tearful voice: "Why did you come just now? I've been waiting for a long time!"
Because she had no strength, her movements were soft and she hit the man's chest. Not only did it not hurt, it just made his breathing become heavier.
Then, Su Lingyu coquettishly rubbed Huo Yan's palm and hugged his arm: "The effect of the medicine may have worn off. I'm fine now, but I'm sweating and feeling greasy. I want to take a shower."
"Okay, I'll go get you some water." Huo Yan said immediately.
Hotels in this era would not be equipped with water heaters like the Huo family. They would use hot water bottles to mix with cold water and wash in plastic buckets.
After kissing Su Lingyu on the forehead, Huo Yan got up and went out.
He came back with the water and redeemed it. This time, without Su Lingyu's instructions, he walked to the bed and picked Su Lingyu up from the bed: "I'll carry you over."
Su Lingyu put her arms around his shoulders and replied softly, "Yeah."
After sending the little ancestor to the bathroom, Huo Yan considerately closed the door for her.
He walked back to the bed and sat down, letting out a long breath.
Soon, there were rustling sounds coming from the bathroom, and the sound of water from a shower, dripping like a fine net woven by spring rain, pouring over him.
He closed his eyes, raised his gaze towards the bathroom, and suddenly laughed helplessly.
This is... actually better.
When he received the call, he was attacking the base of the Infinite Organization. He knew that Su Lingyu had been poisoned by the spring drug and urgently needed him as an antidote. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to get to her side as soon as possible.
He fought desperately and led his team to quickly resolve the battle. After hastily completing the cleanup work, he rushed towards Shi'an Hospital.
But on the road, when he had some free time, he thought a lot.
In his "battle plan", the biggest principle he adhered to was Su Lingyu's "willingness".
If the relationship had not reached a certain stage, if Su Lingyu had not been willing to accept his approach, he would have continued to wait.
This time she was killed unintentionally and was drugged. It seemed that the progress of the "battle plan" was advanced, but he felt more worried than happy.
I'm afraid she didn't do it voluntarily.
I was afraid that the effect of the medicine had gone to her head.
Afraid that she would hate him when she woke up the next day.
...He was always calm and composed, but on the way back to the hotel, he thought of many bad possibilities.
But now it's all right, the effect of the medicine has worn off, and she doesn't have to suffer anymore.
Thinking of this, Huo Yan let out a breath again, looking a lot more relaxed.
But what he didn't expect was that plans could not keep up with changes.
After Su Lingyu came out of the shower, she first tilted her head to look at him, and then, with a faint fragrance, she sat directly on his lap, snuggled into his arms, and gently wrapped her hands around his neck.
He had just relaxed for a few minutes, but in an instant he was worried again.
His heart was beating like a drum, and he called out in a hoarse voice, "Lingyu?"
No, has the effect of the medicine worn off?
