Xue Qi paused in shock. He looked at Liu Xi in confusion for quite a while before asking, "Young Mistress, who do you think is the scent of my body?" Who was she referring to when she referred to him?
Ming Xi sat up from the bed with a bit of excitement, grabbed Xue Qi's arm and asked loudly, "Why is the smell on your body the same as his? "Tell me, why is it the same?" She was very sensitive to the smell on his body. It was unique to the world, and that smell could not be faked by perfume or anything else.
Xue Qi knitted his eyebrows in shock. He looked at Ming Xi's big eyes, which were now filled with hope. Her look had burned his eyes.
He knew that this was not the time to reveal his identity to her, so he smiled and said, "Young Mistress, my body smells like the classic Gucci perfume. Don't tell me that the 'he' that Young Mistress spoke of also uses this perfume?"
Ming Xi was slightly startled, her eyes twinkling. How could she know that she had no interest in men's perfume at all?
"Young Mistress, hurry up and rest! It's too late now, too late to rest, which is bad for your health! " Xue Qi said gently and surprisingly.
However, upon hearing him call her "Young Mistress", the hope that had just ignited in her heart was instantly shattered. How could he call her Young Lady? How could he be a bodyguard?
Thinking of this, Ming Xi could only lie down obediently. Staring uneasily at Xue Qi, he seemed to be trying to find some familiar traces on his face. However, other than the pair of eyes and the contours of the face, she couldn't find any other familiar features.
"Close your eyes!" Xue Qi said in a soft yet commanding tone. For some unknown reason, Tantai Xi actually shut her eyes obediently.
Seeing such a cute and obedient look on Tantai Xi's face, Xue Zhi nodded his head in satisfaction and surprise. He didn't know if it was out of habit or something else, but when he bent over, he seemed to realize something and actually forced himself to lift his head up.
That night he sat on the couch beside the bed and watched her sleep without blinking. He had never known that just watching her sleep gave him an indescribable sense of satisfaction. He remembered that at two that morning, three hours after she had fallen asleep, the sky had suddenly begun to rain and thunder.
Ming Xi was jolted awake by the thunder. He shut the window in panic. He didn't know whether it was because she had a nightmare or because she was too afraid of the thunder, but she was lying on the sickbed, trembling violently. He remembered that she had been shaking so badly that at last he had to take her gently in his arms, and the little woman had fallen into a deep sleep as soon as she touched his arms.
That night, he kissed her for a long, long time, not caring if his beard hurt her or not, from her forehead to her nose to her cheeks to her red lips. Yet this woman had been sleeping so soundly and had been taken advantage of by others, so she was completely oblivious to it.
The next morning, when Ming Xi opened her eyes, she found that Sister Ling had arrived. Last night, she had slept soundly again. All night long, her breath smelled familiar and attached.
Seeing that Tantai Xi was in good spirits, Sister Ling carefully took out the tonic from the thermal container and said with a smile, "Young Mistress, let's drink the soup first!"
Ming Xi frowned and did not refuse. She opened her mouth and took the spoon from Sister Ling. She looked around the room and asked, "Sister Ling, what about the bodyguard?"
"I chased him outside!" Thinking about him, Sister Ling's tone turned cold.
Ming Xi nodded and did not say anything else. She drank a few mouthfuls. Thinking about how that person took care of her the night before, she felt a little sorry for not sleeping at all.
"Sister Ling, get someone to move a couch over here later!" Ming Xi also found it strange that she was constantly thinking about that bodyguard. Say that she coveted his beauty. One must know that the beard covered most of his face, making it impossible for her to see his original appearance. Say, do you have a good impression of him? He has only known her for a short period of time. Less than twenty-four hours.
Was it because of the smell on his body? At this thought, Ming Xi's frown deepened.
"Young Mistress, what do you need a couch for?" Sister Ling asked in confusion.
"Nothing. I just thought that if I got tired of lying on the bed, I could lie on the sofa. I'll be staying in the hospital for at least half a month! " Ming Xi said humbly. She dared not look at Sister Ling as she lowered her head to drink the soup.
"That's true! He should be tired of lying in bed for so long. After finishing the soup, I will personally go to the Furniture City and help you choose one! " Sister Ling smiled warmly.
Ming Xi nodded and obediently finished the whole bowl of soup.
Sister Ling knew that Ming Xi wouldn't be able to drink after she finished the whole bowl. She packed the thermos and said, "Young Mistress, I'll pick the sofa for you now. I'll accompany you to relieve your boredom later!"
Ming Xi smiled and nodded. Seeing that Sister Ling was about to take the soup away, she hurriedly said, "Sister Ling, just leave the soup here. Lately, I've been pretty hungry. When I get hungry, I can drink! "
Sister Ling couldn't help but grin when she saw that Tantai Xi was willing to take the initiative to eat. In the past, she had cajoled and deceived Ming Xi, but she had only eaten a little. Now, she had actually taken the initiative to prepare for starvation. It seemed that she had really recovered quickly.
"Alright, Young Mistress, I'll leave it here. "Hungry, remember to drink, don't starve yourself!" Sister Ling left the ward after a few more words of warning.
Not long after Sister Ling left, Xue Qi walked in in in surprise. Seeing that Tantai Xi was in good spirits, he grinned and said, "Good morning, Young Mistress!"
Ming Xi smiled and pointed to the soup beside her. "Drink this soup!"
After hearing those words, Xue Qi paused for a second and his facial expression turned stiff. Ming Xi seemed to have noticed his uneasiness and realized that it was all her leftovers. So she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to, so don't mind me! "
Xue Qi remained silent for quite a while, then he grinned and walked to the bedside, his lazy voice unable to conceal the joy in his voice, "How could I mind?" After he finished speaking, he picked up the bowl of soup and gulped it down.
