57. Night 57 Hospital
"Do you know what love means?" Lu Xi felt that he might have misunderstood. He mistook his dependence on her for love.
"I know." said the mermaid.
The disbelief in Lu Xi's tone made him feel irritated. "I want to stay with Miss Lu Xi forever."
His expression was very serious, so serious that Lu Xi felt that he might really like her, but when did it start and why, she was clearly playing the role of a mother to him.
What exactly went wrong?
"Ms. Lu Xi?"
Lu Xi remained silent. The merman's expression was tense, as if he was worried she would refuse. "Asent, are you really..."
Do you really like her? This is shocking.
"I like Miss Lu Xi." he repeated.
Lu Xi was very conflicted. Before today, she had never thought that the mermaid would have such feelings for her. His expression told her that he was serious, but could she really respond to this feeling?
In her heart, he has always been a child.
"Does Miss Lu Xi like me?"
The mermaid's words were filled with hope. Did Lu Xi like him? Of course, there was no doubt about it. She had always liked the little mermaid, but her feelings for him were completely different from what he expected.
In Lu Xi's silence, the light in the merman's eyes dimmed a little bit, "You don't need to answer now."
Lu Xi came out of the bathroom and felt very embarrassed for the first time, especially at the door, she met Qingyu who came today.
Did she hear the conversation inside?
"Good evening, Miss Lu Xi." A standard smile.
"Are you still here?"
"Of course, didn't I tell you that from today on, I will take over the care of this mermaid and I won't leave."
"Oh." Lu Xi saw the bathrobe in her hand.
"Put it on you, don't catch a cold."
Lu Xi glanced at her sideways and said, "No need, I'm going to take a shower now."
She is not in good health now and won't catch a cold.
Qingyu watched Lu Xi return to the room, her eyes hard to read.
The mermaid went out early in the morning, and Qingyu, as her personal butler, followed her closely. Lu Xi held the computer and opened yesterday's video, which was recorded when they sneaked into the mall. Before handing it to Ji Qiuhu, she copied a copy for herself in advance.
This shopping mall seems to be operating normally, but it was unexpectedly used as a base by someone, and it is located in a not-so-remote area. However, the more conspicuous it is, the less suspicion it will arouse.
She wasn't sure if her perception of the person in the video was accurate at the time, but it seemed like a human. But at the time, she was startled by the accident between the mermaid and herself, so she might have been mistaken.
The more Lu Xi thought about it, the more she felt that she should go and have another look. It was daytime now, and the mall should be open as usual.
She drove a car out of the garage and found that the mall was indeed open, but the small door next to it was locked, so she could only enter through the main door. She parked the car and blended into the crowd to enter the mall.
There is no problem in the mall during the day, and the problem is all on the underground floor. The elevator can only go up from the first floor. The stairs leading to the underground floor are still open at night, but now they are blocked.
Lu Xi saw a figure with her sharp eyes. It was the person who walked past her last night. He seemed to be a manager and was explaining the merchandise to the waiter. He was indeed a human.
Lu Xi didn't plan to go any further. He came out of the mall and was about to drive back when he saw a group of people gathered on the side of the road.
"How pitiful! Should I call 120?"
"Is he okay? Can he move?"
A person fell on the side of the road. The figure was inexplicably familiar, until a bloody face looked up, and Lu Xi was frightened.
"Shiloh?"
Lu Xi didn't expect Xi Luo to appear here. Wasn't he at sea? Wasn't he going to the next base?
Shi Luo seemed to sense something and looked over.
"Lu...Xi..." His face was full of joy.
Lu Xi pushed through the crowd and carried him into the car. The car turned and prepared to go to the hospital. "I'll take you to the hospital."
"No...I won't go." He grimaced in pain.
Even though he had just been accidentally hit by a car and his face was covered in blood, he was still reluctant to go to the hospital because any ordinary person would definitely call the police after seeing the stitches on his body.
"Go to Yuan's hospital." Lu Xi said.
Xi Luo did not refuse again. Yuanshi’s hospital only treated the demons, so it was estimated that it would not cause any trouble.
While Lu Xi was driving, Xi Luo kept staring at her profile until she spoke, "Why are you here?"
"I thought you were dead." The boy clenched his fists. "But I saw you on video. The funeral..."
During Yuan Lou's funeral, some media were allowed in and leaked a video. Xi Luo happened to be sitting on a chair by the roadside to rest, and someone was watching the video on his mobile phone.
Xi Luo immediately saw Lu Xi in the corner. He had snatched the phone to look at it and was thought to be a madman.
After seeing that video, he came to Taipei.
"Were you just hit by a car?"
His miserable appearance puzzled Lu Xi. Did he escape from the ship? How could he be so miserable?
"Um."
In a light tone, as if being hit by a car was not worth worrying about, Lu Xi frowned and asked, "Where are you hurt?"
"I'm fine, I just bled a little."
Whenever Xi Luo arrived at a place, he would leave some spare supplies there. That was how he was able to reach Taipei, but he never thought that he would be so destitute. Those supplies were not much and they were used up on the way to Taipei.
Lu Xi took him to Yuanshi Hospital, where the doctor performed a series of tests on him, proving that he was indeed only scratched and his face looked bloody, but he would be fine after a bandage.
"Let me take you back." Lu Xi said.
But the boy didn't leave. He sat still on the chair, his eyes fixed on her. Lu Xi asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm glad you're still alive..."
Even though he tried hard to hide it, Lu Xi could still hear the sobs in his voice. She didn't expect the boy to care so much about her life or death. She originally thought that he was just being kind-hearted.
"Hehe, how can I die? You haven't helped me cure the person I want to cure yet." Lu Xi said.
He stared at her face and asked, "Who do you want to cure?"
At this moment, a figure appeared at the door of the ward, looking menacing and nervous, "Ms. Lu Xi."
The young man walked in, emitting a chill and nervous look as he grabbed her. "Ms. Lu Xi, are you hurt?"
Lu Xi didn't expect the mermaid to come to the hospital. She clearly didn't inform him, "Huh? Why are you here?"
"They said, go to the hospital to treat your wounds..."
Lu Xi understood. She knew that her whereabouts would definitely be monitored, so it was normal for her whereabouts to be exposed. It was just that the messenger did not make it clear. She was the one who brought people to treat the wound.
"I'm fine, someone else is injured."
"Others?" He turned his head towards Shi Luo.
The mermaid then noticed that in addition to Miss Lu Xi's scent, there was another unpleasant smell here.
Xi Luo was also sizing up the mermaid in front of him. The boy had disguised black hair and a handsome face, too handsome to be real. However, those black eyes seemed...
"Who is he?" The merman stood in front of Lu Xi.
"Xi Luo, my friend." Lu Xi said.
This was the first time Yuan Sen heard the word "friend" from her. Miss Lu Xi's friend? Was it really just a friend?
A sense of crisis arises spontaneously.
The merman stood between Lu Xi and Xi Luo, his face expressionless. His aura directed at Xi Luo was too obvious. Lu Xi thought of his previous confession and suddenly felt a headache.
"Go out first, I'll explain it to you later."
"I'll wait for you here." He was unwilling.
"Asent, be good." She grabbed his wrist and shook it. When the mermaid heard her words, the tips of his ears couldn't help but turn red.
"...I'll wait for Miss Lu Xi at the door."
The merman left the room and Lu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is he the one you want to cure?" Xi Luo said.
"Well, he can't see."
Xi Luo could see that even though the boy had concealed it well, his eyes were still distracted when he looked at him. Most people might not be able to see it, but he had a doctor's intuition.
"You saved me, I will help you." He turned his head away slightly, seeming embarrassed to say this.
Lu Xi was amused by his awkward look.
"Why, you don't believe it?" He raised his eyebrows.
"No, I believe you can cure him." It was a pleasant surprise to her that the young man in front of her was willing to help.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
Lu Xi took him out of the hospital, and the mermaid was waiting in front of the car, staring at him since Xi Luo appeared.
"Let me sit in the back." Xi Luo offered.
Lu Xi was driving and the mermaid was sitting in the passenger seat. He glanced at the rearview mirror and knew that Shi Luo was also looking at him.
"Ms. Lu Xi, he wants to go back with us?"
"Um."
"Why?"
"He has nowhere to go now." Lu Xi said.
"I'll have someone arrange accommodation for him." The merman's tone showed undisguised dissatisfaction, as if he wanted to let people know on purpose.
"No, he'll go back with us."
