The service desk girl stood next to Xiaoi and said, Xiaoi imdiately got up to block her mouth, but, —
Zhao Huai ca in from outside holding an incredibly cute warm water bottle.
Qin Mu turned around at the sound of footsteps and happened to see Zhao Huai co in.
The two of them gazed at each other, and in the end, Qin Mu’s sharp eyes landed on the warm water bottle in his hand. Suddenly, she didn’t know what to say and could only manage, "You guys chat!"
Qin Mu lowered her head and walked inside. Zhao Huai awkwardly cleared his throat, then looked towards the bar. Xiaoi was already lying there like a despondent rabbit again.
"I’ll go get you so hot water!"
Without paying attention to anyone, Zhao Huai said, and Xiaoi nodded her head.
Zhao Huai headed towards the small kitchen, and Xiaoi craned her neck to watch, subconsciously biting her lower lip.
The service desk girl beside her saw Xiaoi looking as if she was experiencing her first love and shrugged with a bit of envy.
"Oh dear! I’m afraid even a warm water bottle won’t help ! My lower abdon feels terribly heavy!"
Xiaoi had just felt pleased for a mont but suddenly felt her lower abdon weighing down, so she ran out to the bathroom.
When Zhao Huai ca out and saw her heading for the restroom, he followed her and stood outside holding the warm water bottle.
The lobby was full of people, yet it was quiet.
Zhao Huai leaned against the doorway, and after a while, heard the door being pulled open from inside.
Xiaoi held her stomach and felt a little upset to see him standing at the door, like she was a bit aggrieved, and suddenly her eyes welled up.
"What’s wrong? Is it serious?"
"Yeah! I need to go back to the apartnt!"
Xiaoi nodded, bent over, and mumbled to him while holding her stomach.
"Alright! I’ll take you back!"
Zhao Huai knew Xiaoi’s condition wasn’t just a day or two, so he instinctively wanted to take her.
In actuality, Xiaoi wanted to ask him a few questions, but instead, she just nodded her head.
"Xiaofei, I’m heading back to the apartnt to rest. If Qinqin has any issues, please keep an eye on it for later."
Xiaoi greeted the service desk girl before heading out.
"Okay!"
Xiaofei agreed, thinking having such a handso guy accompany her would make the stomach pain worth it.
Zhao Huai drove his own car, although it wasn’t as expensive as Mu Yichen’s, it was still a super cool sports car.
He smoothly drove Xiaoi back to her apartnt.
It wasn’t Zhao Huai’s first ti at this apartnt. After helping Xiaoi in, he placed her on the sofa. "Is there brown sugar in the apartnt? I’ll make you so brown sugar water!"
"Yes, in the cupboard above the kitchen!"
Xiaoi said, still holding the warm water bottle he’d bought her.
After hearing this, Zhao Huai placed her on the sofa and went to make the brown sugar water for her.
Xiaoi lay on the sofa, silently, for many years, listening to friends getting boyfriends, getting married, having children, she always felt sowhat sour in her heart.
But now, she found herself feeling even more sour.
This man currently making brown sugar water for her actually said there was no spark between them, and instead, he beca sworn siblings with her, haha!
Though it was Zhao Huai’s first ti in her kitchen, a kitchen shared by so many people, it was surprisingly clean. Even though they were all young people, still...
Zhao Huai thought, there must be soone with OCD here, but that person definitely wasn’t Xiaoi because Xiaoi she...
Zhao Huai brought the brown sugar water out for her and said, "I added two slices of ginger for you!"
"Thank you!"
Xiaoi lifted her eyes slightly but didn’t dare look at him directly, holding the cup and sitting up, but the warm water bottle was still placed on her stomach.
Zhao Huai sat beside her and watched as she was about to drink, imdiately saying, "Careful it’s hot!"
Just out of the pot.
Xiaoi...
Her lips suddenly felt blistered from the heat.
Because she was holding the bottom, and since he was sitting so close to her, Xiaoi’s heart flustered, with her mind going blank.
"Last night, how did the situation with you guys competing for Qiao Yi and Secretary Xi turn out?"
After a mont of awkward silence, Xiaoi tried to start a conversation.
"Later, the wine glass in Xi ng’s hand broke, spilling red wine all over, and Old Qiao thought her hand was cut by glass, so he took her away."
Zhao Huai explained simply.
"..."
Xiaoi held her sugar water cup in a daze, feeling that things shouldn’t have ended that simply.
"Old Qiao probably cooked the rice with Xi ng last night!"
Zhao Huai said with a smile, and after he finished, he seed a bit envious and jealous, his eyebrows moving slightly.
He still looked down, but there was a touch of disappointnt at the end of his words. Xiaoi subconsciously turned to look at him, and then her heart started pounding forcefully even more.
Could it be that in his heart, Zhao Huai also wanted to do that kind of thing with his sworn sister, cook the rice?
Thinking about Qin Mu and Mu Yichen having a wonderful life after cooking the rice mature, Xiaoi felt a little excited because she had a good relationship with them.
"So, do you want to, too?"
Xiaoi asked softly, not daring to look at him, and then drank the sugar water.
Zhao Huai instinctively glanced at her, and Xiaoi felt as if the side he was looking at was about to catch fire, imdiately turning her head: "I didn’t an with ! I ant with soone you think you could have a fling with."
Xiaoi said this, her face already feeling highly unnatural.
She had never talked about such profound topics with a man before.
"That! It’s not suitable to discuss with a little kid like you!"
Zhao Huai chuckled and suddenly turned his head to look in another direction.
This topic was indeed very awkward.
Upon hearing this, Xiaoi mumbled, "I’m not a little kid!"
"Then what are you?"
"I’m an adult woman! Qinqin, who’s the sa age as , is already a mom of two kids!"
"That’s because she has a bad childhood friend."
Zhao Huai replied lightly, his eyes then fixed intently on her ear, she was already feeling shy, and if he raised his hand to touch her face now, it would surely be very hot, right?
Xiaoi had nothing to say, because she indeed didn’t have a childhood friend around.
"But not having a childhood friend isn’t necessarily a bad thing!"
Zhao Huai suddenly said.
Xiaoi’s other ear started heating up, a very hot kind of heat.
"You can drink now!"
Seeing her sitting there in a daze, as if she was forgetting to breathe, Zhao Huai gently reminded her.
Actually, Zhao Huai wanted to tease her, but seeing her beco so shy just by skirting around the topic, he didn’t dare to tease her anymore.
It was only after hearing him tell her to drink the sugar water that Xiaoi rembered she still had a stomachache and couldn’t help but blush again, because after drinking the hot sugar water...
Hehe!
By the ti Zhao Huai left, it was quite late, and Xiaoi herself held the warm water bottle Zhao Huai had refilled with hot water before leaving and ssaged Qin Mu: "Qinqin, I might be sick!"
