Chapter 42 The Unspeakable "Crisis"
Su Lingyu has always loved beauty. When she thought about her calves being corroded by sulfuric acid and covered with scars, she felt dizzy and unwell.
But when people face a severe crisis, they often lose control of their bodies and lose their ability to react at critical moments...
The critical moment.
Huo Yanfeng's eyes darkened, and he quickly reached out and grabbed her slender waist, lifting her up. He turned around and pressed her on his bed, then pulled his quilt over her from head to toe.
“Bang!”
The glass soda bottle smashed to the ground and broke into pieces.
The shaken carbonated soda made a sizzling sound when it spilled onto the ground. The most terrifying thing was that some of the soda splashed onto the trousers and feet of Zhao Qiang and others, corroding small holes in their military trousers.
There is indeed sulfuric acid in it!
It is conceivable that if the soda splashed on Su Lingyu's fair and straight calves, it would corrode her calf skin.
However, Su Lingyu didn't have time to pay attention to this scene for the time being.
Huo Yan pressed her down on his hospital bed, her almond-shaped eyes slightly widened. She felt that she had escaped the crisis of being disfigured, but seemed to have fallen into another unspeakable "crisis".
The man's strong forearms embraced her, his body supported by his elbows, and a large hand with a thin cord held her waist. The palm of his hand was so warm that she couldn't help but think of the boiling volcano.
With his other hand, he pulled the quilt up high above their heads. The thin quilt that was stained with his breath enveloped the two of them in a small space. His strong body covered her, and his deep and quiet phoenix eyes looked at her. The breathing of both of them was clearly audible.
She raised her almond-shaped eyes in panic and met the man's deep eyes. She seemed to read a bit of surging aggression in them and couldn't help but feel her heart skip a beat.
But upon closer inspection, his eyes returned to calm.
It seemed like just an illusion just now.
"Are you scared?" Huo Yan asked in a low voice, with a barely perceptible hoarseness in his voice.
That’s right!
That damn bottle of soda!
Su Lingyu subconsciously wanted to get up and seek revenge on the damn fruit shop owner, but just as she bent one leg, before she could straighten her body, she felt her knee hit Huo Yan somewhere, and she heard a low groan from him.
This……
The system laughed in a gloating voice: [Hahahaha, host, you are too much! Huo Yan obviously saved you, but you actually gave him a fatal blow, hahaha! ]
[He must be in so much pain, but he doesn't want to show his weakness in front of you, and tries hard to pretend that nothing is wrong.]
[Wow, the four guards are all covering their mouths and laughing. Did they discover something? ]
Su Lingyu: "..."
Huo Yan: “…”
Zhao Qiang and others immediately rubbed their faces at the same time, trying hard to imagine themselves as Terracotta Warriors.
Professional ethics: they will never laugh unless they can't help it.
Su Lingyu: [The guard probably doesn't know, right? Huo Yan didn't yell, he just groaned, and he was... pretty strong. I really didn't mean to do that, I just wanted to get up.]
The system still said "hahaha": [Take a look for yourself, he must have been damaged by you. ]
Su Lingyu didn't dare to move. After hearing what the system said, she subconsciously looked at a place below Huo Yan's waist with her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, wanting to see if he was damaged by her.
But before she could focus her vision, everything in front of her suddenly went dark.
It was Huo Yan who covered her eyes.
Su Lingyu blinked, and her long, curly eyelashes swept across the man's palm, but unfortunately she didn't have the chance to see the man's sudden body stiffening.
Without vision, the other four of the five senses are magnified.
The man's unique masculine scent surrounded her, with a hint of mint and a hint of tobacco. He himself didn't smoke, so he must have picked it up somewhere else.
His hands around her waist tightened unconsciously, pressing against her skin through a thin layer of cloth, making her feel a little hot and itchy.
"Su Lingyu!" His low, hoarse voice rang in her ears, his breathing was heavy, and there was even a hint of gnashing of teeth, "This is the second time!"
Su Lingyu: "I..."
"I don't care why you did it, if you do it again, you will bear the consequences yourself!"
"What do you mean you have to bear the consequences yourself? How dare you harm me?" Su Lingyu widened her eyes in disbelief, "Huo Yan, you bastard, say you're sorry!"
He didn't let her kick, but she insisted on kicking.
She grunted and raised her knees, ready to give him another critical hit, but as soon as she moved, the man's strong and powerful thighs pressed down on her, immediately pressing her messy legs back onto the bed.
The disparity in power between men and women almost made her unable to move.
"Huo Yan, get out of my way!" Su Lingyu was furious. She reached out to push the man who was pressing on her, especially his legs, but her wrist was grabbed the next second.
The man's low and forbearing voice rang in her ears, and his breathing seemed to carry sparks: "Su Lingyu, if you continue to tease me, I will let Zhao Qiang and the others get out!"
And then?
What will he do after driving everyone out?
"When did I flirt with you? I'm hitting you!" Su Lingyu's hands were held and her body was pressed down. She was so angry that her beautiful almond eyes widened. "You don't want to force yourself on me in the hospital, do you? The bed here is too narrow!"
Huo Yan: “……?”
Is this the point?
"Wait, that's not what I meant. What I meant is that Zhao Qiang and the others have already seen it. What's the point of asking them to leave?"
Zhao Qiang and the others looked at each other, their desire to survive taking over, and they shouted at the same time, "Report to the chief, report to the madam, we don't have it!"
Su Lingyu: "..."
Huo Yan: “…” Very good, I don’t have any thoughts at all.
…
Su Lingyu got up from Huo Yan's bed, tidied her messy hair, cleared her throat, tidied her clothes, and pretended that nothing had happened.
She wanted to get out of bed, and guard Zhao Qiang quickly said:
"Ma'am, the broken glass on the floor has been cleaned up. The floor and furniture have been wiped back and forth two or three times. There is no trace of sulfuric acid. Don't worry."
"Okay." Su Lingyu nodded modestly, and then said directly, "All four of you come with me, I'm going to settle accounts with the fruit shop owner!"
Zhao Qiang and others looked at Huo Yan, and Huo Yan nodded slightly.
Not only the guard went, he also followed.
However, when the group arrived at the fruit shop in front of the hospital, the owner of the fruit shop knew nothing about anything and was even more surprised than them.
"What? There's sulfuric acid in those two bottles of soda? I told you it's not normal! How can you send a fruit basket with soda? Soda isn't a good thing."
"This fruit basket was bought by a man named Wang Zheyuan, but he didn't come in person. He just put twenty yuan on the counter, a card with the words 'Get well soon' and his name on it, and a note for Miss Su Lingyu Su, asking me to deliver the fruit basket to the third floor of the hospital's inpatient department. He also emphasized that Miss Su likes to drink soda, so he asked me to put the soda in the fruit basket."
"I had a business that I couldn't stop doing, so I made this trip. I didn't expect something like this to happen!"
When he talked about this, the fruit shop owner was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
He has been doing business honestly for so many years, and he never expected to encounter such a bizarre thing. He doesn't want to go to jail!
Huo Yan lowered his eyes and took out a card from the fruit basket. It was exactly as the boss said, with the words "Get well soon" written on it and the signature of Wang Zheyuan.
The handwriting was illegible and deformed, and it was obvious that it was written by someone who was not used to it.
Seeing that he could not get any information from the fruit shop, Su Lingyu slapped his head and asked the system: [Xiao Tongzi, do you know who wants to harm me? I don’t think it’s Wang Zheyuan. He is so shrewd and selfish that he would not leave such obvious information. He is probably framed by someone. Check it out! ]
The system beeps twice: [OK, host! ]
Huo Yanfeng's eyes lit up and he waited quietly.
Soon, the system's baby voice sounded: [Host, it is indeed not Wang Zheyuan! ]
【Who is it? 】
[It's Jiang Yuyu! ]
Su Lingyu: "...Jiang Yuyu?!"
Thinking about how she had seen Jiang Yuyu looking at her from a distance with a gloomy face and hatred in her eyes twice today, what else could she not understand?
He accepted her help, stole her man, and dared to harm her? !
Su Lingyu turned away with a snort. Huo Yan waved at Zhao Qiang and the others and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."
Only a few people rushed to the second floor of the inpatient department where Jiang Yuyu was hospitalized, but still came up empty-handed.
Jiang Yuyu has been discharged from the hospital.
"No, I can't just let it go!" Su Lingyu bit her lip, and suddenly turned to look at Huo Yan, her beautiful almond eyes full of pride, and said angrily, "I want to be discharged from the hospital, I want to go to Jiang Yuyu's house to find her! Although I have no evidence, I feel that she is the one who hurt me! If you don't accompany me, I will go by myself..."
"I'll accompany you!" Huo Yan said in a deep voice.
"Um?"
Su Lingyu blinked and was stunned for a moment.
Huo Yan trusts her so much?
