When the two got to the car, Xia Yanxi was a little tired. She leaned in Qiao Yanli's arms and fell asleep.
When she arrived at Shengyuan Villa, she was already asleep.
Qiao Yanli gently carried her out of the car and entered the villa. Aunt Xu was still waiting in the living room. When she saw them coming back, she quickly got up.
Aunt Xu followed Qiao Yanli upstairs and opened the master bedroom door for him.
After Qiao Yanli put Xia Yanxi on the bed and he came out, Aunt Xu asked worriedly, "Mr. Qiao, what happened? Why did Yan Xi go to the hospital before?"
Xia Yanxi told her not to let Aunt Xu know that she almost drowned. He said quietly, "She had an accident while filming the night scene. It's nothing serious. Aunt Xu, go and rest!"
With Qiao Yanli by Xia Yanxi's side, Aunt Xu felt relieved. She nodded, "Mr. Qiao, Yan Xi has suffered a lot since her mother left. You must be good to her."
Qiao Yanli pursed her thin lips, her deep eyes showing no emotion, "I will."
…
It was cold, and the whole body was covered with the biting cold sea water.
She kept splashing in the water with her hands, but no matter how hard she tried, her body kept sinking.
It was pitch black everywhere and she couldn't see any light.
The overwhelming fear left her at a loss as to what to do.
"Help, help..."
"Yanli, save me..."
Xia Yanxi felt like she was about to suffocate. She couldn't breathe. There were countless water monsters with their bloody mouths rushing towards her. She was about to be torn into pieces by them.
Just when she was desperate, a light and elegant voice came over, "Yan Xi, I'm here, don't be afraid!"
Xia Yanxi opened her heavy eyelids suddenly and blinked when she saw the handsome face close at hand. When her chaotic thoughts gradually cleared up, she realized that she was having a nightmare.
"Husband..." Xia Yanxi pursed her lips and threw herself into his arms before her tears were about to fall.
She felt that he was a warm haven. Every time when she was in the most pain and despair, he would come like a god and support her with a safe sky.
Qiao Yanli caressed Xia Yanxi's slightly trembling back. He knew that she was quite frightened tonight. He put his thin lips to her ear and comforted her in a low voice, "It's okay. Don't be afraid. I won't do it again in the future." This happened.”
He has asked Zhou Ye to communicate with the director that the crew must replace Gu Yanyan, and that she and Xia Yanxi can no longer be allowed to stay on the same crew.
Smelling his fresh and pleasant scent and listening to his deep and elegant voice, Xia Yanxi's anxious and uneasy mood slowly calmed down.
Lying on the bed again, she nestled into his broad chest. He held her with one arm and patted her back gently and rhythmically with the other.
After a while, she fell asleep.
But she didn't sleep peacefully, and occasionally she would talk in her sleep.
Qiao Yanli looked at her slightly tired sleeping face, lifted her hair, and gently kissed her forehead.
…
The next day.
When Xia Yanxi woke up, the seat next to her was already empty.
After Qiao Yanli finished washing, he walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing that Xia Yanxi had woken up, he walked to the bedside, bent down, and looked at her with burning eyes, "I have something to do and I can't accompany you today. Don't go to the set and rest at home, okay?"
Xia Yanxi nodded obediently, "Okay, you go to work, don't worry about me!"
Qiao Yanli's thin lips landed on her forehead and slowly rubbed against her lips. Almost the moment he kissed her, she took the initiative to raise her slender arms and hooked them around his neck.
