Huo Yanyue said softly: "I'm lost."
As soon as she said the words, she regretted it. She was too abrupt, but the person on the other end of the phone didn't care about her abruptness. Instead, she said in a quick voice: "What is around you? Do you know the general direction?"
Huo Yanyue looked around: "I don't know, it's very dark here."
After a pause, she remembered that after coming out of Ximeng City, she walked along the beltway. After thinking about the direction, she said: "I walked along the beltway, which should be to the southeast. There is nothing here. There aren’t even street lights.”
When Huo Yanyue said this, Nangong Xi had already gotten up from the bed, walked out of the room, then quickly went downstairs, picked up the car, and set off...
After the car got on the beltway, Nangong Xi's speed still did not slow down. Huo Yanyue said that there were no street lights there, so obviously she should have got off at a fork in the road. There must be street lights on the highway.
While driving, Nangong Xi made another call: "In five minutes, I will go around the city and tell you the conditions of the street lights at all forks in the southeast."
"Yes, sir."
After hanging up Nangong Xi's call, Huo Yanyue felt scared. There was no one here and there were no lights. Although she didn't believe in ghosts and ghosts, after all, it was very late now and she felt a little worried.
Huo Yanyue closed all the car windows, locked them, and hugged herself in a curled-up position. From time to time, she could hear the sounds of animals outside, and Huo Yanyue's fear became deeper and deeper. , when it became more and more intense, a dazzling car light shone from the opposite side of her.
Then Huo Yanyue saw a man walking towards the light...
Nangong Xi still smelled obviously of alcohol. He must have been woken up by himself not long after he fell asleep after drinking.
When going back, naturally it was Nangong Xi's car. Huo Yanyue looked at him a few times and said, "Thank you for coming to see me so late. Do you want to go get some sleep? I'll drive."
Nangong Xi glanced at her and was about to say something, but when he saw Huo Yanyue's expression, he paused. He hadn't paid attention just now, but now he realized in the car that Huo Yanyue's expression was wrong.
The car suddenly stopped on the side of the road, and Nangong Xi touched Huo Yanyue's forehead without saying anything.
"what are you doing?"
"You have a fever."
The car started again. This time, Nangong Xi's speed was obviously much faster than before, and he sent her to the hospital without asking Huo Yanyue's opinion.
It turned out that she had cried before, and her face and body were covered with tears. She drove the car all the way with the window open, so it was inevitable that she would fall ill.
When Yu Shengxia learned that Huo Yanyue was ill in the hospital, it was already near noon the next day.
He arrived at the hospital with Huo Yannian. Before he reached the ward, he saw Nangong Xi sitting outside. Yu Shengxia frowned slightly. Huo Yannian had already turned to her and said, "Go and see Yan Yue first."
"Um!"
Yu Shengxia nodded and walked into Huo Yanyue's ward. She was still getting an IV drip, and there was a takeout lunch box next to her with half a bowl of porridge left in it.
"Yan Yue! How are you? Are you feeling better?"
Huo Yanyue just had a fever. The fever was severe at five or six o'clock in the morning, but it has subsided now.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. Why are you here? You're not feeling well, it's just a fever."
