Then, there was endless darkness, and she was suspended on the water, unconscious...
"Ming Xi!" Xue Qijing grabbed Ming Xi's cold, dancing little hand and rubbed it in his palm.
The sudden warmth from her palm made Mingxi frown. She closed her eyes and had no intention of opening them. She was afraid that it was just an illusion. Perhaps she had been floating in the water for too long, and she still felt her body rising and falling with the river water.
"Ming Xi!" Xue Qi was surprised to see that Ming Xi was unwilling to open her eyes. He began to worry vaguely in his heart. He called her name softly, and when he saw the loose sheets wrapped around her, his brows furrowed!
He raised his hand to tear off her bed sheet, but as soon as he touched the sheet in front of her chest, Mingxi suddenly yelled, "Don't touch me!"
An image immediately popped up in her mind of a group of men tearing off her clothes. Mingxi opened her eyes abruptly in fear, and before she could even see the person in front of her clearly, she quickly raised her hand and slapped away the hand that was on her chest.
"Hiss..." Ming Xi frowned and covered her wrist in pain, blood flowing out of her wound.
Xue Qi was shocked when he saw this, and immediately panicked. He grabbed a corner of the bed sheet covering Ming Xi and pulled it hard, only to hear a "hiss" sound...
Ming Xi was shocked. She pushed Xue Qijing away and yelled, "Asshole! Don't touch me! Get out of here!"
Xue Qi's eyes turned cold as he looked at the woman who was still aware of the situation. Although his eyes were cold, they were not angry. He grabbed Ming Xi's right wrist again and carefully bandaged her wound...
Feeling Xue Qijing's movements, Mingxi's body froze. She slowly raised her head to look at the person next to her, but was stunned when she saw his face clearly...
Xue Qijing looked straight at Mingxi, and seeing the loose sheets around her, he frowned, then quickly took off his shirt, raised his hand to tear off the sheets, and prepared to change her clothes.
However, when he just touched her, Mingxi's eyes suddenly turned red, and she threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Master, is that you? Is it really you? Am I hallucinating?" Ming Xi sobbed.
Could it be that God took pity on her and let her have such a dream
However, as long as she could see him again, even if it was just a dream, she would be satisfied, very satisfied...
What's more, she could hug him, really hug him.
Xue Qi smiled in surprise, raised his hand and hugged her, his tone was light but full of indescribable tenderness, "Of course it's me, the real me. I'm really by your side, this is not an illusion..."
Ming Xi buried her head in his arms, crying, "Master... am I really not dreaming?"
Xue Qi smiled in surprise, then said firmly, "No!"
"The river is so deep, and there is so much water. I'm afraid of water... I'm really afraid of water..." Mingxi said while hugging Xue Qijing with a look of grievance on her face.
Seeing Mingxi's weak appearance, Xue Qijing suddenly felt extremely guilty. He whispered apologetically: "Mingxi, I'm sorry, I'm late..."
Upon hearing this, Mingxi burst into tears. She shook her head vigorously and said in a very choked voice: "I know, I always know that you will come to save me, and you will come to save me as long as I am in danger! I know, I always know... Master, I miss you so much... I really miss you..."
"I miss you too, so much!" Xue Qijing couldn't help but utter these words while hugging Mingxi. He really missed her. Ever since she jumped into the river, he had been thinking about her.
Touching Mingxi's cold body, Xue Qi said worriedly, "Mingxi, I'll carry you back first..."
Seeing the white cloth on Mingxi's wrist almost stained with blood, he felt very nervous. He had to ask the doctor to treat her wound and check her body...
What if there are any sequelae? He has never been as afraid of losing her as he is now... He doesn't want to experience the heartache of losing her a second time.
Mingxi nodded, and then hugged Xue Qijing even tighter, as if she had found the greatest support, and was unwilling to let go at all. She was afraid that if she didn't hold him tightly enough, as long as she relaxed a little, he would slip away from her quietly like her father and mother...
She was afraid of being abandoned and forsaken...
Xue Qijing gently pulled off the bed sheet on Mingxi, then put his loose white shirt on her, and then wrapped her thin body with the bed sheet. Only when he felt it was safe and would not be exposed did he pick her up horizontally...
Mingxi put her head on his shoulder, feeling very solid and safe. His strong arms held her steadily and carefully, as if he was holding a unique treasure in the world, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
"Master, promise me... to stay by my side forever, okay?" Ming Xi leaned on Xue Qijing's shoulder for a long time before she gradually felt tired. After she asked this question, she fell asleep completely and peacefully...
Xue Qijing trembled after hearing Mingxi's words, but he recovered quickly. He held Mingxi in his arms and walked towards the dark night, but his heart was in a mess...
How far is forever? He couldn't give her this promise!
When Xue Qijing carried Mingxi back to Anye, she hadn't woken up yet, so he quickly sent someone to send them back to where he lived now - Shanya!
If he stayed in the dark, she might suspect that he was W when she woke up. Now, he really didn't want her to know his identity. The words she said to him in the room were still lingering in his ears...
He had to admit that he didn't want her to hate him, and he didn't want to lose her because of it.
When they returned to Shanya, it was already dark. Xue Qi hurriedly called Dr. Cheng.
The room was so large and luxurious that it was almost extravagant. It was magnificent and splendid. Although the light was dim, the furnishings in the room were so dazzling that one could not open their eyes.
Mingxi lay on the bed with her eyes closed, her hands tightly clenched, whether out of fear or some other reason. Cold sweat kept pouring out of her forehead.
Xue Qijing sat on the sofa beside the bed, nervously watching the doctor treating Mingxi's wounds and examining her body.
After the doctor carefully handled everything, he gave Xue Qijing a reassuring look.
"Master, don't worry, Grandma just caught a cold and got frightened. She will be fine after a few days of rest!"
After hearing what the doctor said, Xue Qijing was still a little worried, "Is there really no other illness?"
"Yeah!" the doctor answered while packing up.
"That's good!" Xue Qi breathed a sigh of relief, then waved his hand to signal the doctor to leave.
The doctor carried the tool box, bowed respectfully to Xue Qijing, and left the room quietly.
After the doctor left, Xue Qijing stood up from the sofa. He walked to the bed and sat on the edge of it. He raised his hand and gently tidied up Mingxi's messy hair on her forehead.
His big hands with slightly calloused features rubbed gently on Mingxi's pale little face. When he saw Mingxi's brows frowned due to anxiety, he couldn't help but raise his hand and gently smoothed her brows with two fingers.
"Mingxi?" Xue Qijing called softly. Seeing her face, Xue Qijing showed a satisfied smile. He now knew that sometimes just looking at a person, with eyes full of that person, would be satisfying.
Mingxi heard someone calling her and moved her eyelids but did not open her eyes.
Xue Qijing leaned over and kissed her forehead gently, then couldn't help but linger on her lips gently for a while before letting her go, "I know you're awake!"
After hearing what Xue Qijing said, Mingxi frowned, then opened her eyes reluctantly. She pouted, stared at Xue Qijing with embarrassment, and said, "Master...!"
Xue Qi grinned in surprise, revealing a row of neat white teeth, and said, "You, you can't even pretend to sleep!"
Ming Xi curled her lips, then moved the hand with the IV tube inserted and said, "I was awakened by the pain..."
