After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xi immediately glared fiercely at Ji Tui who was next to him.
The other party was sitting a little closer to each other. Compared with the situation when they came here this morning, one of them was sitting on the left side and the other was sitting by the window on the right side. The distance was far and unfamiliar. Obviously, the distance is much closer now.
Qiao Xi questioned the other party: "Did you do it on purpose just now?"
Ji Tui's fair and handsome face was somewhat bewildered, "What's on purpose?" He asked the driver to turn on the heater, and asked Qiao Xi intimately, "Sister, are you still cold?"
Qiao Xi looked at the other party for a few times, and she turned her head, "I'm not cold."
Ji Tui said: "The one just now, is the one I mentioned to you today, the one in the painting?"
Qiao Xi said coldly, "Who he is has nothing to do with you."
Ji Tui's fair and handsome face showed a bit of grievance, "You are too indifferent to me, I thought we would be friends at least after you defended me this afternoon."
"You think too much."
Ji Tui sighed, he leaned on the back of the chair, his dark eyes glistened with water, Qiao Xi really couldn't get close.
Ever since he learned how to watch words and looks and please people, everyone basically let go of his guard against him. Even in Ji's house, his stepmother and illegitimate brother treated him as worthless trash and treated him kindly on the surface.
There was only Qiao Xi beside her, who was obviously just a spoiled daughter, but she was not easy to be fooled at all, and she was very vigilant.
Compared with other boring people, she is much more interesting.
When she returned to Qiao's house, Zhao Yuxi had already returned. Because of the rain, she was forced to stop planting trees.
Seeing that Ji Tui was soaked all over, she hurriedly asked concerned: "Aren't you holding an umbrella in your hand, why are you getting wet?"
"I'm a boy and I need to take care of girls." Ji Tui explained.
Of course Zhao Yuxi saw that Qiao Xi was refreshed and didn't get wet, "That can't make me completely wet, I'll get you a towel."
She is very considerate.
"It's troublesome." Ji Tui pursed his lips, and the smile didn't reach his eyes.
Qiao Xi saw Zhao Yuxi actively busy, and thought it was funny. It was too difficult for the other party to conquer someone like Ji Tui.
Zhao Yuxi came quickly with a clean towel, and she handed it to Ji Tui, "Wipe your hair quickly, don't catch a cold."
"Thank you." Ji Tui took the towel, glanced at Qiao Xi, and praised Zhao Yuxi: "Sister Xixi treats me much better than sister Qiao Xi, but she is very cold to me."
Zhao Yuxi was happy to hear that, "Xiaoxi's personality is like this, a little cold and a little arrogant, she doesn't like to get in touch with unfamiliar people, don't take it to heart."
Qiao Xi: "You seem to know me very well."
Zhao Yuxi smiled and said, "We grew up together, of course I understand you."
Ji Tui nodded in agreement.
He casually wiped his hair a few times, and put the towel back into Zhao Yuxi's hands, "Even though my sister treats me so coldly, I still like her..." He glanced at Qiao Xi, "I still like to be friends with her very much."
The dirty towel was stuffed back into her hands, and when she heard Ji Tui's words, Zhao Yuxi's breath was stagnant, she almost couldn't breathe, and the smile on her face could hardly be maintained.
When school was over the next day, the sky was gray and rainy recently, and the weather was getting colder day by day.
Qiao Xi was wearing a light misty purple long floral dress with a thin white coat on top of it today. Her small face was white and delicate, and she was immortal and sweet.
She just got in the car and was about to ask the driver to drive to the villa to find Lu Huo when her cell phone rang.
"Mom?" It was Qiao's mother calling.
"Xiaoxi, are you out of school yet?"
Qiao Xi responded, "Well, I'm in the car, what's wrong?"
"Your father and I were on the way to the business banquet. It's a pity that the child has something to do and hasn't come back today. Just now Mrs. Hua called and said that Ji Tui had a high fever. Now I don't want to go to the hospital at home. I called Jin Doctor, he is going abroad for study and research in the past two days."
Qiao's mother confessed: "After you go home, send Ji Tui to the hospital. He is sick and confused by himself, and there is no one to take care of him."
Qiao Xi looked at the time, it was five o'clock, and it wasn't too late, "Okay, I see."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xi called Lu Huo.
In less than two seconds, the call was connected, "Xixi." The boy's deep voice sounded instantly.
"Lu Huo, I have something to do suddenly, so I won't be here until later." Qiao Xi said.
Lu Huo stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass. He held his mobile phone in one hand and supported the glass with the other. He looked at the gray sky outside the window, "It's okay, I'll wait for you."
"I'll be there soon," Qiao Xi said.
Lu Huo chuckled softly: "Well, don't worry, pay attention to safety on the road."
The two chatted for a while, and Qiao Xi reluctantly hung up the phone.
When he returned to Qiao's house, Qiao Xi saw Ji Tui sitting in the living room, leaning lazily on the sofa, his fair and handsome face was a little red, his expression was sleepy, and his spirit was indeed not very good, worse than usual.
"My mother said, you have a fever and don't want to go to the hospital. Why?" Qiao Xi walked over.
Ji Tui put away his phone, he raised his eyelids to look at her, and said lazily, "I'm fine, I just have a fever, and a fever won't kill anyone, just get over it, I'm used to it."
Qiao Xi frowned, "Having a high fever will burn out your brain."
Ji Tui sneered, "It's better than going to the hospital all by myself. If someone gets sick, someone will take care of them. If I go to see a doctor alone, it will only make me look pitiful."
Qiao Xi looked down at him, "Go and change, I'll accompany you to the hospital."
Ji Tui's fever should be due to the rain yesterday, which has something to do with her.
As if in disbelief, Ji Tui looked at Qiao Xi, "Do you want to accompany me to the doctor?"
With that said, he stood up quickly, "Wait for me for a while, I'll go after I change my clothes."
As if afraid of Qiao Xi's repentance, Ji Tui changed his clothes and came down in less than two minutes.
He put on a black shirt and a pair of black trousers, his whole body became a bit colder, his lips were burning red, and he curled up at Qiao Xi, like ice and snow melting, " I'm fine, let's go."
"Yeah." Qiao Xi turned around first, she was not walking fast, and Ji Tui, who was limping, was able to keep up.
Looking at the girl's snow-white side face with dark eyes, there was a genuine smile in his eyes.
Qiao Xi sent Ji back to the hospital, registered with him, and went to the consulting room.
After the doctor's diagnosis, Qiao Xi looked at the time, and it was already past six o'clock, "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
Ji Tui seemed to have been hit hard, and looked at Qiao Xi in disbelief, "You're leaving so soon, don't you want to accompany me to see a doctor?"
"You've finished watching."
"But I still need an IV drip, won't you accompany me?" Ji Tui's flushed face was filled with anticipation, "When you were at home, you said you would accompany me, so I came to see the doctor. Do you want to keep your word? ?”
After finishing speaking, he coughed weakly a few times, and tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, which was extremely miserable.
The middle-aged female doctor who was seeing the doctor couldn't stand it any longer, and helped her: "Little girl, your boyfriend has a high fever and really needs the company of his family."
"He's not my boyfriend." Qiao Xi explained.
The female doctor was a little embarrassed, "Okay, you two can decide on your own, the next patient will come in."
Ji Tui lowered his voice, and looked at Qiao Xi, "If you have something to leave, just go, I'll get the medicine and go back with you later, I won't take the drip, anyway, you'll be fine if you take the medicine."
"You threatened me?" Qiao Xi frowned.
"Do you have any prejudice against me? Why would I threaten you? I just don't want to be alone on a drip. Others are accompanied by relatives. It's not interesting for me to sit there alone."
Ji Tui twitched his lips in a self-deprecating manner, "You don't have to take it to heart, my illness wasn't entirely caused by the rain yesterday."
Qiao Xi took a deep look at him, "Get an IV drip!"
"Are you with me?" Ji Tui wasn't sure.
"Are you going?" Qiao Xi walked ahead.
Ji Tui dragged his left leg and limped after him.
In the infusion area.
Ji Tui was leaning on the back of the chair, his hand was being pricked by the nurse. He looked at Qiao Xi who was sitting across from him, feeling a little aggrieved, "It's right for my sister to sit so far away, so I won't get the virus from me." .”
Qiao Xi stood up.
"Are you going?" Ji Tui wanted to stand up immediately.
"Don't move around." The nurse quickly pressed Ji Tui's hand, and his blood flowed out.
Ji Tui didn't care at all, he looked at Qiao Xi, "You promised to accompany me to get the injection."
Qiao Xi sighed, "I'm just throwing out trash."
Ji Tui looked at the tissue she was holding, and then he relaxed, and said with a smile: "I know you are a person who keeps your word."
The female nurse pulled out the needle and stuck it into the back of Ji Tui's hand again, "This time, don't move around."
Ji Tui nodded obediently, and politely thanked the female nurse.
Qiao Xi sat back across from her, and she asked the female nurse Ji Tui how long it would take to finish the bottle of potion.
"About an hour." The female nurse packed up her things and left.
Qiao Xi looked at the time. It was already past six o'clock, almost seven o'clock. After Ji Tui finished his drip, it was already almost eight o'clock. It took nearly an hour to go to the villa, which also meant that it was already past nine o'clock. Huo is about to rest.
Qiao Xi frowned, it seemed that she couldn't go to Lu Huo today.
"Sister, I'm thirsty, can you pour me a glass of water?" Ji Tui said, "The doctor said, drink more hot water if you have a fever."
Qiao Xi stood up, "Wait a minute."
She went to the water dispenser and got a cup of hot water. The water was too hot, so she mixed some cold water into it.
When Ji Tui got it, the water was warm and not too hot, "Thank you." He drank a few swigs, "Sister, the water is sweet."
Qiao Xi glanced at him angrily, "Your taste buds have an illusion."
She took her mobile phone and walked to the far window, ready to call Lu Huo.
"Xixi, are you here?" On the other end of the phone, the young man's low voice was a little brisk.
Suddenly, Qiao Xi's heart ached, "No, I want to tell you that I can't come today, and I still have something to go on."
On the other end of the phone, Lu Huo stopped practicing walking and tried to hold his breath, "Can't come today?"
"Well, I'll come see you tomorrow." Qiao Xi broke his promise again.
"Xixi, did something happen?" Lu Huo asked.
"Sister, I finished drinking the hot water, can you pour me another cup?" Ji Tui's voice sounded.
Qiao Xi turned her head and stared at him, "Shut up."
Ji Tui held the empty cup, with a bit of grievance on his fair and handsome face.
Lu Huo had already heard, "Is it the guest who lives in your house who spoke just now?"
This wasn't the first time he heard the other party calling sister Qiao Xi. From the other party's voice, he could tell that the other party was not a child.
"Yes, he's sick, and my mother asked me to accompany him to the hospital to see a doctor." Qiao Xi didn't hide anything, and told Lu Huo directly, "Yesterday he got sick because I got wet in the rain."
Lu Huo's thin lips were pale in color, a little dry, and his mouth became a little dry, "How old is the other party?"
"He's a few months younger than me." Qiao Xi explained, "Don't worry, I'm not familiar with him."
"Sister, my hand seems to be bleeding." Ji Tui said again.
Qiao Xi turned her head to look over, and saw the blood flowing backwards from the needle on the back of Ji Tui's hand, and she didn't know why it happened suddenly.
The other party looked at her sideways, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he was not afraid at all, "Maybe I have to interrupt my sister's phone call, please ask my sister to call the nurse for me."
Qiao Xi nodded, "Wait a minute."
As she walked, she said to Lu Huo, "Lu Huo, I'll call you later."
Lu Huo's throat was bitter, and he responded in a low voice: "Yes."
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xi went to find the female nurse.
Seeing Ji Tui's situation, the female nurse hurried forward to deal with it, "Did you touch the needle?"
Ji Tui shook his head, "I didn't move, I kept my hand here." He smiled and said to the female nurse, "Miss, I'm sorry."
After the female nurse walked away, Qiao Xi went to the opposite side and sat down, "Don't talk to me, just finish the drip quietly and go back."
"Because I interrupted my sister's phone conversation, are you angry?" Because he was running a fever, Ji Tui looked pitifully sick, he lowered his head, like a dog with drooping ears, and sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry. "
Qiao Xi was silent for a while, "You don't need to apologize."
Ji Tui breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were really angry with me."
He stood up, carefully keeping one hand still, and raised the other to reach the medicine bottle hanging from the hanging bar.
"What are you going to do?" Qiao Xi frowned.
"I want to pour water." Ji Tui was a little embarrassed, "I'm worried about bothering you, and I'm even more worried that you'll get bored with me and think I'm a troublemaker and a burden."
"Sit down, I'll pour it for you." Qiao Xi seemed to have seen through the other party's tricks, "When I called just now, why weren't you worried that you would bother me?"
Ji Tui's lips curled up little by little, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention just now."
Qiao Xi didn't want to argue with him anymore.
In the villa.
After Lu Huo hung up the phone, he stood there for a long time until his feet were sore and he sat on the ground weakly.
It's completely dark outside, Qiao Xi won't be here today.
After turning off the fire and eating the rabbit food, it jumped to Lu Huo's side, its snow-white head arching his trousers.
Lu Huo picked it up in his big hands and rubbed its head.
His deep voice sounded, "Your master, you won't want me."
Shuhuo rubbed his head against the palm of his hand, as if responding to him.
There was a knock on the door, and there was a female nurse standing outside the door.
After a while, Lu Huo let the other party in.
The female nurse pushed open the door, and she saw Lu Huo sitting on the ground at a glance. The boy was sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The sky outside was dark, which made the boy a little more lonely and lonely.
The female nurse thought that Lu Huo had fallen on the ground and it was inconvenient to return to the wheelchair. She was a little worried and asked quickly, "Master, do you need me to help you up?"
"Need not."
"The dinner is already cold, is Xiaoxi here? Do you need to reheat the food now?" The female nurse came in to ask about this.
In the evening, Lu Huo asked the kitchen to cook Qiao Xi's favorite dishes.
After so many days, the female nurse has seen that these dishes are in line with Qiao Xi's taste, so after Lu Huo confessed, she knew that Qiao Xi would come today.
But now it's past dinner time, Qiao Xi hasn't shown up yet, and the food is already cold.
On the ground, Lu Huo lowered his head. He rubbed the flameout on his hand and said in a low voice, "No, she won't be here today."
The female nurse was a little surprised. She remembered that Qiao Xi would visit Lu Huo or Tutu almost every day, but she didn't seem to show up these two days.
However, the female nurse didn't dare to ask more questions, but retreated tactfully and closed the door by the way.
The room fell silent.
Shuhuo jumped off Lu Huo's hand and went to eat rabbit food again.
Lu Huo leaned against the floor-to-ceiling glass, with one leg bent and the other straight, with a reckless posture, while the figure reflected in the floor-to-ceiling glass was lonely and lost.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when I came out of the hospital.
After the IV drip, Ji Tui's fever subsided a little, and he seemed to have regained a lot of energy, "Are you hungry, may I invite you to eat?"
"I've asked Aunt Hua to cook some porridge, you can just go back and eat the porridge." Qiao Xi said softly.
Ji Tui's eyes were filled with disbelief, "How could you suddenly become so caring."
There was a smile that couldn't be concealed on his fair and handsome face.
Qiao Xi glanced at the time again, "Get in the car."
Ji Tui obediently opened the car door.
When the car returned to Qiao's house, Ji Tui opened the door and was about to get out of the car. He smiled and said, "I'm hungry only after I got back."
"This is your medicine, and it says how much to take each time." Qiao Xi handed him the small bag containing the medicine, "After you go in and eat, take the medicine every half an hour."
"You are so caring, what should I do, you are so kind to me, I am about to fall in love with my sister." Ji Tui took the medicine, with a smile in his dark eyes, his words were half-truth and half-false, making it hard to distinguish.
Qiao Xi glared at him, "You're thinking too much. My mother told me to do these things. You are my guest, and you are also because of my illness. I can still do these things that are easy to do."
It wasn't mom who texted her, she didn't bother to bother so much.
Hearing this, Ji Tui sighed, "My sister is so ruthless, she doesn't leave me any room for imagination."
"Get out of the car quickly." Qiao Xi urged.
Ji Tui was holding the medicine, and after he got out of the car, he looked at Qiao Xi who was still sitting in the car for no reason.
"Aren't you coming down?" he asked.
Qiao Xi leaned over, reached out and closed the car door, "I still have something to do, Uncle Liang, drive."
The driver in front nodded, "Yes, miss."
The car started, and Ji Tui stood outside the car. Looking at the girl's snow-white face in the car, he couldn't help shouting, "Qiao Xi."
In a blink of an eye, the car drove away.
Ji Tui stood where he was, holding the medicine Qiao Xi gave him just now in his hand. The autumn night was a bit cold, blowing Ji Tui's clothes.
After standing for a while, Ji Tui retracted his gaze, twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly, turned and walked into the room.
He walked a few steps on his heels, as if unwilling, he turned his head to look at the direction the car left just now, and there was nothing there.
Ji Tui carried the medicine and strode towards the house. Because of his fast pace, his feet turned even worse, and he was even a little embarrassed.
It was a cool autumn night, and the car drove towards the villa.
Qiao Xi looked at the scene outside the window, she gradually curled up her lips. Sure enough, she still wanted to find Lu Huo so much in her heart, she couldn't restrain herself at all.
She hadn't seen him for two or three days, but she already missed him very much.
When Qiao Xi came, the guard's face was obviously surprised. After all, it was usually daytime when Qiao Xi came, but now it was dark and it was very late.
He opened the door to let Qiao Xi in.
Qiao Xi smiled and gave a box of snacks she bought on the way to the doorman. After entering, she saw two bodyguard brothers, and she gave them snacks one by one.
"Xiao Xi?" The nurse just finished working in the kitchen and saw Qiao Xi coming when she came out, "Master said you won't come today, it's so late now, why are you here again?"
Qiao Xi gave another box of strawberry-flavored snacks to the nurse, and she said, "I was delayed by something today, that's why I came so late."
The female nurse took the box gratefully. She knew at a glance that it was the flavor she liked. Every time Qiao Xi came, she would bring everyone's favorite food. Gradually, they all looked forward to Qiao Xi's arrival.
She reminded: "The young master told the kitchen to cook a lot of dishes you like tonight, but I didn't expect you to not come. During dinner, the young master's appetite became bad, he didn't eat anything, and he looked very disappointed. "
Qiao Xi was slightly taken aback, "Lu Huo is not happy?"
The female nurse tipped her off, "After the young master finished his meal, I saw him bring a bottle of wine that was placed on the wooden shelf in the living room into the room."
There are many cabinets made of mahogany in the living room, and several bottles of old wine are placed on them for decoration. Lu Huo took a bottle just now.
If she remembered correctly, the bottle of wine that Lu Huo took away should be the oldest and the highest alcohol.
"I don't know if the young master took it in and drank it." The female nurse said to Qiao Xi, "Go in and have a look."
Qiao Xi didn't expect that Lu Huo would be unhappy, and even drank secretly, she couldn't laugh or cry.
Qiao Xi hurried to the master bedroom, she knocked on the door, and then turned the handle.
Pushing open the door, I saw the boy sitting in a wheelchair, holding a bottle of wine in his hand and pouring it into a glass.
Qiao Xi noticed that there seemed to be half of the wine in the bottle.
Tsk, I really drank secretly!
She closes the door.
The door sounded, Lu Huo looked at Qiao Xi who suddenly appeared, and he closed his eyes fiercely, "Xixi?"
The corners of Lu Huo's lips were slightly pursed, and his brows were furrowed. After a while, he said, "I seem to be dazzled. Xixi is accompanying the little boy now."
Hearing his murmur, Qiao Xi smiled.
She walked over, "If I don't come, will you drink secretly?" She took the wine in his hand and put it aside, "If I don't come, will you drink the whole bottle?"
The girl's limp little hand held his, and the warmth came. Lu Huo looked at her with dark eyes, "It's not an illusion."
Qiao Xi lowered her head and met his eyes, "Lu Huo, are you drunk?"
Lu Huo shook his head.
Above the head, small leaf buds popped up quietly, shaking with his movements.
Qiao Xi's fingers were a little itchy, and she wanted to pinch that cute little leaf bud.
She sat down directly on Lu Huo's lap, facing him, and was hugged by Lu Huo, "Why do you suddenly want to drink? Are you happy?"
Lu Huo put his hand on the girl's soft waist, and the oppression in his chest was reduced by most in an instant, "No, I'm just curious about the taste of this bottle of wine."
The small leaf buds began to shake again, shaking the small tooth bar.
"I thought you were unhappy because you couldn't see me."
Lu Huo lowered his eyes, responded with a low voice, and admitted: "Yes."
Qiao Xi rubbed her head in his arms, "Sorry, I'm late."
Lu Huo held her little hand and covered his chest, "It's still a bit uncomfortable here."
"Why are you uncomfortable?"
"I heard your guests call your sister." Lu Huo lowered his voice, "I seem to be a bit domineering, I don't want to hear others call you like that."
He pressed her little hand firmly, covering his tattoo, and said in a low voice, "Xixi, it seems to be sour."
