Lan Xi looked at him, her eyes filled with disbelief.
She was in a trance, not knowing if what she had heard was true or not.
"What did you say?" Her voice trembled.
"I say, me too."
Xiao Yunyi's deeply emotional and resolute voice sounded in her ears, causing Lan Xi to be unable to hold back her tears any longer. However, they were quickly wiped away by the man in front of her.
He wrapped Lan Xi's hand around his own and gently said, "I also like you. Just like you, I don't know when it started. But coincidentally, the day I realized my feelings for you was also the day I said I wouldn't go home. And because I realized how I felt about you, I went to the old house. I'm sorry I hurt you so much these days, but there's nothing I can do. "
This was the first time Xiao Yunyi spoke of his worries in front of Lan Xi. "They all say that you are my weakness, and I believe so as well. So once they make a decision about you, I can't argue. I don't want them to hurt you, especially now, when Lin Shengkun is still nowhere to be seen. I can't let you take any more damage from my family, but I didn't think it would be on my turf. You were still poisoned, and your life is even hanging by a thread. "
Xiao Yunyi repeatedly stroked Lan Xi's hand, as if he wanted to confirm that that person was still in front of him.
He continued, "You have no idea how scared I was the moment I broke into the room and saw you lying on the floor. Countless thoughts flashed through my mind, but the most important of them all was to revive you. I saw Doctor Sun and the others washing your stomach, saw your painful frown, you don't know how much I want to replace you to bear that pain. When I was awakened this morning by your cries and saw that you couldn't stand it any longer, I felt the same fear I had last night. When you woke up for the second time, Dr. Sun said that your body wasn't feeling too bad right now, so I was really relieved. "
Lan Xi was stunned. She couldn't say anything. She could only quietly listen.
"If you don't tell me what you think, I won't be able to guess. I don't want to argue with you, but I don't know why I can't help it. I'm sorry to have quarreled with you as soon as you woke up, but I'm glad you finally told me what you thought. "
Seeing Lan Xi's stunned expression, Xiao Yunyi lightly caressed her cheek. "I'll accept your confession. My reply is: Me too."
Lan Xi had just recovered from her shock. She needed to properly digest Xiao Yunyi's words.
These words were too much of a shock to her. She seemed to be able to understand Xiao Yunyi's thoughts when she was confessing to him. He must have been shocked and moved.
She looked at Xiao Yunyi and saw that he was still the same as before. Hence, Lan Xi could not help but leap into his embrace.
Xiao Yunyi tightly hugged Lan Xi as though he was hugging his most precious treasure. Then, no one knew who started it, but the two of them kissed once again. Unlike the previous kiss, this time it was more like an catharsis.
They kissed so fiercely and eagerly that it was as if they wanted to swallow each other up forever.
"..."
The second day after Lan Xi woke up, Xiao Yunyi transferred her to a private hospital's VIP ward.
Jocelin had brought what they needed here and brought them daily nourishment from the new cook at the villa. As Lan Xi had been poisoned by the food, while the chef was cooking, Qiao Lin was watching from the side.
During this period of time, Xiao Yunyi didn't go to the company, instead he stayed in the hospital's ward to accompany Lan Xi. The latter was initially worried that he would delay his work by mentioning to him that he could return to the company, but was rejected.
He said that he knew what was going on, and that his departure was a warning to the people who were going to attack Lan Xi and the people who were going to attack her.
He wanted to let them know how important Lan Xi was in his heart.
When Lan Xi heard Xiao Yunyi's explanation, she completely relaxed and settled down to recuperate.
She had always felt that her physique was good and that she rarely got sick. But this time, she did not recover for a long time. Furthermore, her body had always been weak. She was worried.
Xiao Yunyi had also privately asked the doctor about this matter, but Doctor Sun had said that the poison had damaged her body's functions and would take a very long time to recover. He told them to slowly recuperate.
There was no other way. They had to listen to the doctor.
"Dang, dang, dang, dang!"
There was a knock on the door and Jolin brought in the lunch. Lan Xi was now able to get out of bed and walk by herself. She was lying on a recliner beside the window, basking in the sun. Xiao Yunyi had specially prepared this for her. This window sill was very big, and the morning sun was also very good. This place was extremely suitable for bathing in the sun.
Lan Xi was lying on the sofa, swaying so much that she was about to fall asleep. Xiao Yunyi was sitting on the sofa, reading a book. The two of them quietly accompanied each other, giving off a feeling of tranquility.
When Lan Xi saw that Qiao Lin had arrived, she became excited. "What are you eating today? It can't be those light foods, right?"
Joeline smiled and put the lunchbox on the table. She opened the lid and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. You're wounded, so you have to eat something light."
Ah!" Lan Xi frowned and said, "I eat those light foods everyday and there's no taste in my mouth at all. And now that the poison has been cleared out, there's no need to be afraid of it anymore.
"Weak patients are not eligible to make such a request." Xiao Yunyi put down the book and walked over to take the rice. "Moreover, I'm eating with you right now, so I didn't say anything."
Lan Xi rolled her eyes. "That's because you usually eat lightly."
As she spoke, she snatched Xiao Yunyi's food and returned it to him.
Xiao Yunyi knocked on her head with his chopsticks. "Don't talk so much. Hurry up and eat. After you're done, go out and take a walk."
She sighed and helplessly began to struggle with the food in front of her.
Jolin watched their interaction and couldn't help but laugh, thinking how wonderful it was for them to be like this.
Xiao Yunyi wasn't as cold as he was before, and Lan Xi also had a smile on her face.
More importantly, Lan Xi had come back to life!
"Won't you eat with us, Jolin?" Lan Xi noticed Qiao Lin's expression and asked her, "What are you laughing at?"
"No need, I had already eaten before coming here." "I just think it's nice for you to be like this."
Lan Xi initially wanted to tease Qiao Lin, but instead, her face reddened. Lan Xi lowered her head in embarrassment.
Qiao Lin said, "Mister, Zi Hao will come over in a moment. He has something to discuss with you."
