chapter78 Sick

The night was as cold as water. Lei Xiao woke up in the middle of the night and found that his arms were empty. He frowned and looked to the side. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a small figure curled up next to the floor-to-ceiling window. He squinted and lifted up the quilt. (Forbidden words)

Walked over topless.

The hazy moonlight shines in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Ye Xi leans her head against the wall, her legs close together and hugging her knees. She seems to be sleeping uneasily. She frowns deeply, presses her lips tightly, and a pair of lotus feet are on the thin silk.

Under the long nightgown, it is faintly visible.

Lei Xiao unconsciously stepped closer, as if he sensed it, and the woman shrank uneasily, leaning against the wall, and the deep frown between her eyebrows deepened.

The man's heart tightened, and he immediately stopped and turned his head slightly to look. The mirror embedded in the wall clearly reflected the distance between the two of them.

Lei Xiao remained motionless, just staring at the woman sleeping soundly against the floor-to-ceiling window, and kept looking at her. Suddenly, he turned around and walked back to the bed, grabbed the thin quilt on the bed, and then walked towards Ye Xitong.

The bag was opened, spread out, and draped over the woman's body.

He sat down next to her almost without making a sound, hugged her petite body and put her in his arms. The woman's hands crossed her knees, maybe they were held too tightly or for too long, and there were clearly visible finger marks on her arms.

Lei Xiao gently opened her hands, tucked the thin quilt back in, and let her lean against his body while he leaned against the wall.

The man was so tall that when he retracted his long arms, Ye Xitong seemed to be trapped in a warm harbor. His movements were unconsciously and cautiously done, as if he were protecting a rare treasure.

The woman moved into the warm harbor, found the most comfortable angle, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and fell asleep sweetly.

Lei Xiao couldn't sleep. He pursed his lips and quietly enjoyed the feeling of peace. Now, only when she is asleep, will she not show her teeth and claws at him, and will she be like an obedient, obedient, and flattering dog.

The kitten loved by its owner.

Lei Xiao lowered his eyes and hugged Ye Xitong tighter. The woman seemed to be responding to him in her sleep, leaning on his chest more attached, breathing softly and lightly.

The man listened to her gentle and steady breathing, and his body relaxed. He lowered his head slightly and rested his face on the top of Ye Xitong's head. His loose black hair flowed open and intertwined with the woman's waterfall of green hair.

together.

Under the elegant moonlight, the quiet and pale brilliance of a room was no match for the two people hugging each other and sleeping in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

When Ye Xitong woke up, the sky was still gray. Her legs, which were tightly together, were now straight on the ground, while her hands were placed casually.

In her sleep, she remembered that she was wrapped in a soft warmth, and all her uneasiness was immediately dispelled. Gradually, she really fell into sleep.

Could this be...

Ye Xitong then raised her head and looked at the bedside. Lei Xiao was sleeping on the bed with his back to her. The thin black quilt was hung around his waist, revealing his tight and perfect upper body. On the back, there were dozens of criss-crossing

There are scratches, which were left by her last night.

Ye Xitong took a breath and naturally turned her gaze away from Lei Xiao. Yes, how could that soft warmth be him? She was probably hallucinating.

His eyes moved to the mirror wall and when he saw himself in the mirror, Ye Xitong smiled bitterly. She was actually not much better. The spaghetti straps of the silk nightgown could not cover up the fierce tooth marks at all. Her shoulders, arms, chest, and back,

There are all of them, they were left behind by him last night.

Ye Xitong sighed, a deep worry welling up in her heart. She wondered how her elder brother was doing? Has the high fever gone down? Or has the fever become more serious?

Thinking of the possibility of the following situation happening, Ye Xitong's heart suddenly twisted into a ball, and her eyes immediately roamed the huge room, looking for the cell phone that he had left in the corner yesterday.

Found it!

The woman's eyes lit up, she stood up quickly with her hands on the ground, walked over lightly and picked up the phone.

In fact, if she hadn't been anxiously looking for her phone, the moment she stood up with her hands on the ground, she would have discovered that there was warmth under her palms instead of the cold ground.

Lei Xiao dropped the phone and blacked out the screen. Ye Xitong pressed the power button. After a while, the screen turned on again, and several missed calls came out. The woman looked through it and saw Zhao Jiajia's name all over her body.

Biting her lip, Ye Xitong pressed the call back without hesitation. The tall figure approaching silently behind her suddenly said, "What are you doing?"

Ye Xitong was startled, and immediately hid the phone under her body, turned her head, and Lei Xiao was looking at her condescendingly, "It's nothing-ah!"

Caught off guard, Lei Xiao bent down and lifted the woman sitting on the ground onto his shoulders. Ye Xitong's head was facing down, her cheeks flushed with blood. She tightly protected her phone and kicked her legs wildly.

"Shut up!" Lei Xiao spanked her butt. The force was not strong, but it made her feel pain.

The soft and elastic touch seemed to make him addicted. He hit her a few more times in succession, making Ye Xitong want to scream in pain but dare not make a sound.

The man walked slowly to the bed and laid her down on the bed. Ye Xitong quickly turned to her side to hide her cell phone, stiffened her body, and looked at him in panic.

As soon as Lei Xiao reached out, Ye Xitong dodged instinctively. The man's deep narrow eyes narrowed, and dangerous fireworks burst out. He pulled her over and held her in his arms without any refusal, resting his firm chin on her shoulder.

The hot breath she exhaled made all the nerves in her body tense.

"Lei Xiao?" She didn't dare to look back and called him softly.

After not waiting for a response for a long time, Ye Xitong turned her head. The man closed his eyes and breathed evenly. She whispered a few times in succession to confirm that he was really asleep, then she grabbed the hand across her chest and pushed it slowly.

open.

Without pushing twice, Lei Xiao hugged her again and squeezed her tighter, giving her no chance to break free. Ye Xitong had no choice but to quietly turn her cell phone to silent and hide it under the pillow.

She thought she would never fall asleep, but not long after, listening to the man's steady and rhythmic heartbeat, her eyelids began to slowly become heavy and slowly closed...

From the beginning to the end, she never noticed that Lei Xiao's hand on her chest was so hard that veins appeared.

--------------------------------------------------

Five days later, Ye Xitong, who had been suffocating, finally got a chance to breathe.

In the past five days, Lei Xiao stayed at home every day, not going to the company or doing anything else. Most of the time, he took her to the dojo to exercise.

Ye Xitong did not dare to take out her phone under his eager gaze. She almost couldn't help but make a call several times, but under his cold gaze, she had no choice but to give up.

Until yesterday, Su Yize personally came to visit and asked Lei Xiao with a tired face to return to the company to take charge of the overall situation. He also said that the company has recently had several projects involving billions of dollars in progress at the same time. He and Lin Xiu are really too busy. Lei Xiao

Then he reluctantly nodded and agreed to go back.

In the morning, Lei Xiao went to the company, and Ye Xitong came to the courtyard immediately. The woman sitting on the grass looked around guiltily, and there was no one there, so she dared to take out the mobile phone hidden in her pocket.

I found Zhao Jiajia's number and dialed it. Just after a beep, the other party connected.

Zhao Jiajia seemed to be in a place that needed silence. She deliberately lowered her voice and said two words, "Wait a moment."

Ye Xitong waited for a few minutes before she heard Zhao Jiajia's voice again, "Miss Ye."

"Dr. Zhao, is brother's health okay? Has the high fever gone away? How is the recovery of his hand?" Ye Xitong asked several questions as soon as she opened her mouth. These worries lingered in her heart day and night, which were both depressing and disturbing.

pain.

Zhao Jiajia paused and said simply: "The fever is gone, Haoyu is fine."

Hearing this, her anxious mood suddenly relaxed a lot, "Then...can I talk to big brother?" The woman was full of expectations.

"Haoyu is resting, so it's not convenient to answer the phone." There was a hint of coldness hidden in Zhao Jiajia's tone.

Ye Xitong said "Oh" in disappointment, and suddenly found that she and Zhao Jiajia had no other topics to talk about except Shen Haoyu.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Jiajia said quietly: "Miss Ye, I hope you will not come to Haoyu again in the future."

After hearing this, the words "Why?" naturally blurted out.

Zhao Jiajia looked at the white hospital buildings in front of her and spoke slowly: "Haoyu and I are engaged, and we have decided to hold a wedding when Haoyu's hand recovers. I know that Haoyu and you are as close as brothers and sisters.

, but you are not related by blood, and I don’t want to hear other people’s gossip on the eve of the engagement. Besides, Miss Ye already has a boyfriend, so you should be careful about it, right? "

"Get engaged?" Ye Xitong mumbled stupidly, feeling weak all over.

"Well, Haoyu and I are engaged." Zhao Jiajia said firmly.

Ye Xitong lowered her eyes and stared at the green grass on the ground. Her body was numb and she couldn't move. "...When was it decided? Why was it so sudden?"

"I called you five nights ago, do you remember?" Zhao Jiajia's eyes were red, but it was a pity that Ye Xitong couldn't see her, otherwise the woman wouldn't believe her, "Actually, Haoyu didn't have a high fever that night.

, it’s just that after we decided to get engaged, we wanted to call you over and give you a surprise.”

Ye Xitong bit her lip. For a moment, she almost thought she was going to faint.

"Miss Ye, I know it's selfish to make such a request, but please understand how I feel as my fiancée. You didn't come that night, and Haoyu was worried about you all night. After a few days, Haoyu still couldn't contact you.

I thought you had an accident and you couldn't take a good rest. I feel so sorry for Haoyu like this."

I feel so bad too!

Ye Xitong screamed silently in her heart, the pain was so painful that she almost couldn't breathe.

"Haoyu and I are about to get married, and you also have a boyfriend. I'm not interested in knowing why you can't come to the hospital, but I can tell you clearly that no woman wants to see the man she likes worrying about another woman.

So, please don’t come to him again.”

Don't want to look for him again? After waiting for three years and hoping for three years, he finally came back, but she couldn't look for him.

There was a busy tone of "beep beep--" in his ears, Zhao Jiajia hung up the phone, and Ye Xitong lowered his head, lost in thought.

Zhao Jiajia put her phone back in her pocket, looked at the clear sky and took a few deep breaths. After the burning sensation in her eyes subsided, she quickly returned to the ward.

Shen Haoyu frowned and closed his eyes tightly. He was lying on the bed with an IV drip, and his right hand was wrapped in a white bandage. His face was so pale that it was almost transparent, and his cheeks were so thin that they were sunken, which made people feel distressed when they saw him.

Zhao Jiajia's tears just fell one by one, and she couldn't stop them anymore.

Shen Haoyu did indeed have a high fever five days ago. When he was unconscious, he kept muttering "Little Tong", so Zhao Jiajia called Ye Xitong, thinking that she would rush over to stay with Shen Haoyu and give him support.

After waiting all night, Shen Haoyu's high fever finally subsided, but Ye Xitong did not arrive. Zhao Jiajia told Shen Haoyu about this, but instead of being angry, Shen Haoyu was worried about Ye Xitong.

After worrying day and night for several days, Shen Haoyu, who was just in good health, fell ill again. After Zhao Jiajia received a call from Ye Xitong, she told a big lie in anger.
