Chapter 165 I think I can't hold on any longer
"Judging from my age, I'm not young," I replied with a smile.
Shen Xingyuan snorted: "I call this maturity and composure."
“If my mom thinks it’s good, then it’s good.” I reminded her, “If she thinks it’s not good, then it’s not good.”
Shen Xingyuan looked at me calmly: "How do you know your mother won't choose me?"
"If you're so confident, you can give it a try. I won't stop you." I shrugged slightly. "Also, I don't think Grandpa and the others will just let this go and not make a fuss about it."
“They wouldn’t dare,” Shen Xingyuan said with certainty.
I scoffed: "You still don't understand them enough."
Shen Xingyuan did not speak.
"This is my room, I'm going to rest." I looked at him casually.
"Aren't you planning to go back to Haicheng tonight?" Shen Xingyuan frowned.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm tired," I said lazily.
"You've been locked up for almost a day, and you're still sleepy?" Shen Xingyuan asked, puzzled.
I snorted.
"A'Luo, take the young lady to her room," Shen Xingyuan ordered his subordinate.
Despite his young age, Aro appeared mature and composed. He had dark skin and very regular features.
I looked her up and down: "You have a great figure."
Aro's face immediately turned red.
I smiled and said, "Lead the way."
Aro then led me to my room.
I went into the room and prepared to close the door.
Huo Yubai grabbed the door panel.
"What are you going to do?" I frowned.
“Mr. Huo, your room is next door,” Aro said.
"I'll just share a room with her." Huo Yubai squeezed in and then closed the door.
I glared at him: "With so many rooms, why do you want to sleep in the same one as me?"
"I'm scared." Huo Yubai suddenly bent down, his forehead resting against my thin shoulder: "I almost lost my innocence tonight."
I:"……"
"I'm all alone out here, weak and delicate, and I need someone I can trust to protect me." He moved his face a few inches closer to my neck, his hot breath tickling my skin.
"Everyone outside is one of our own, what are you afraid of?" I was speechless.
“They are Shen Xingyuan’s people, how can I trust them?” Huo Yubai said in a hoarse voice, “Shen Xingyuan is related to you by blood, but not to me.”
"And what about Huo Fei?" I reminded him.
"He had to rush back to Xinjing City to deal with the car accident," he explained. "You see, he disappeared as soon as he left the Shen family's house, didn't he?"
Huo Fei was indeed not there.
I thought he was still in Lincheng, but I didn't expect that Huo Yubai had sent him away.
"Huo Fei was clearly sent away by you." I said seriously.
Huo Yubai stood up, took out his phone, and handed it to me: "Grandpa asked me to go back, but I'm not feeling well and need to rest, so I let him go back."
I glanced at it.
He wasn't lying.
Old Master Huo did urge him to go back tonight.
"Your grandpa is really something. You're not in good health to begin with, and then you fell into the water. Didn't he know to let you rest for the night?" I frowned.
"He only cares about how much benefit I can bring to the Huo family. The only one who loves me the most is you." Huo Yubai's deep black eyes flickered with a pitiful light.
I took a deep breath: "Don't play the victim!"
I won't fall for it again!
"Yan Yan, I have a headache." Huo Yubai suddenly felt unsteady on his feet.
"You're still pretending!" I said, somewhat annoyed.
He knows I'm soft-hearted.
Especially for him.
They're pushing their luck!
“I wasn’t pretending.” He said, like an abandoned puppy.
I didn't believe it, and turned around: "I'll count to three, and you'd better get out of here right now, 1, 2..."
Before I could even count to three, I heard a muffled thud behind me.
I turned around and saw Huo Yubai lying unconscious on the ground.
I rushed over and touched his forehead.
It's actually caught fire!
It seems that the car accident and falling into the water have indeed had a significant impact on his health.
I called Liang Hui and asked him to help me carry Huo Yubai to the bed.
Honestly, despite Huo Yubai's height of 89 meters, Liang Hui carried him with ease.
"Does he weigh seventy kilograms?" Liang Hui looked at me. "He doesn't even feel as heavy as the sandbags I carried in the army."
“Nonsense, how could a sandbag weigh seventy kilograms?” I retorted, then took out a pill and stuffed it into Huo Yubai’s mouth.
"Will this medicine work?" Liang Hui asked curiously.
“You’re doubting me.” I raised an eyebrow.
Liang Hui was embarrassed.
"Alright, that's all for now. I can take care of him by myself. Go and get some rest." I told Liang Hui to leave.
"Really?" Liang Hui looked at me meaningfully. "Are you sure it's convenient for you?"
"In a doctor's eyes, patients have no gender." I waved my hand: "Let's go, you should get some rest, we have to rush back early tomorrow morning."
"Okay." Liang Hui left.
Huo Yubai mumbled repeatedly in his sleep, "I'm sorry... I'm... so... sorry..."
"Who exactly have you wronged, kid?" I asked curiously. "Even when you're this sick, you still can't let go."
"I love...you, don't abandon...me..." Huo Yubai's voice grew softer and softer: "I didn't mean to lie to you."
I frowned. "Who are you talking to?"
Just then, Huo Yubai suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed my hand, and pulled me forcefully into his arms.
I collapsed onto the edge of the bed.
His long, dry hand gently lifted my chin, while his other hand supported the back of my head. His thin lips slowly approached: "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long..."
I paused.
There was absolutely no agreement between Huo Yubai and me.
So he definitely wasn't talking to me.
I snapped out of my daze and pushed him away forcefully.
"Huo Yubai, wake up!" I said, somewhat annoyed. "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're sick!"
His sharply defined face was flushed, and his unfathomable eyes were filled with a dazed look: "Forgive me, please?"
This guy isn't awake yet!
I forcefully pressed him back onto the bed, and held his face up with both hands: "Huo Yubai, look carefully, I'm not the person you think I am!"
He must have mistaken me for someone else.
“You are my Yan Yan.” He said in a hoarse voice.
I paused for a moment: "Huo Yubai, you know I don't like you."
He raised his hands and pressed me tightly into his arms. "But I... like you."
It's unclear whether he was awake or confused.
I'm at my wit's end.
I know I have to face this problem.
Upon our reunion, I did develop feelings for Huo Yubai that had shifted from mere sympathy to something else entirely.
I ran away.
But under Huo Yubai's relentless attacks, it seemed I couldn't hold on any longer.
I sighed softly.
Huo Yubai had fallen asleep again, but his hands were still tightly holding me, as if I might leave at any moment.
We remained in that position for a while, and only after he let go did I sit up.
I left after helping him take off his clothes.
I returned to my room just as Xia Zhe sent me a message.
Xia Zhe: Shen Yuan seems to have woken up.
