Chapter 1274 - 1271: Are You Afraid I’ll Poison You?
"Miss Hua, please eat something!" Ye Xiangxue said, handing over the lunchbox in her hand.
"Thank you, I’m not hungry!" Hua Xiaomo didn’t accept it.
Ye Xiangxue smiled faintly and placed the boxed meal on the bedside table.
"Are you afraid I’ll poison you? Well, let me tell you, if I wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t need such petty tricks!" Ye Xiangxue said calmly. His gaze swept over her, looking towards the person on the bed. He hadn’t woken up yet, but it was only a matter of time...
It turned out that Ye Xiangxue hadn’t left the villa because he was worried Qi Longbing and the others would return to cause trouble, so he stayed behind, determined to ensure Zi Yunsui’s safety, and of course, that included Hua Xiaomo. His earlier forbearance towards her signified tolerance and acceptance. Oh... there were things he didn’t want to accept but had to. As long as Zi Yunsui was happy, nothing else mattered. As a brother, he had done enough.
"Then why don’t you kill me? Aren’t you afraid that when Zi Yunsui wakes up, you’ll no longer exist in his eyes or heart?" Hua Xiaomo said coldly, her lifted eyes meeting his gaze without fear.
Ye Xiangxue smiled faintly and helplessly.
"I never existed in his eyes or heart; it’s just unrequited love. He said so himself, it’s an unchangeable fact." A hint of sadness seeped into Ye Xiangxue’s voice, then collecting himself, he continued slowly, "You’re lucky he fell in love with you. Being loved by him is a blessing... cherish it well!"
"I will." Hua Xiaomo replied calmly.
Ye Xiangxue gave her one last glance before retracting his gaze, intending to leave. Just as he reached the door, he turned back.
"He’ll wake up in six hours." With that, Ye Xiangxue left without looking back, walking away quickly.
Six hours...
Uh... Hua Xiaomo was both excited and thrilled. She couldn’t help but want to hold his hand, but it was under the covers. Seeing his bare body made her blush and her heart race, so Hua Xiaomo pulled the quilt up higher to cover the exposed skin.
Now, Hua Xiaomo glanced at the bedside table, picked up the boxed meal, opened it, and without caring any further, she devoured it hungrily...
At the depth of night, the moon hung high outside the window. On a starless night, only the moon gracing the sky is still enchanting. At this moment, she awaited his awakening.
An hour later, Hua Xiaomo patiently awaited midnight; six hours had indeed elapsed. Hua Xiaomo nervously looked at the person on the bed, holding his hand through the cover.
Similarly, the person at the door outside was anxiously awaiting this moment, hoping for Zi Yunsui to wake up.
Ye Xiangxue didn’t step inside; he just stood still at the door, vaguely observing the situation inside through the slightly open door.
"Zi Yunsui, Zi Yunsui, wake up already, why aren’t you waking up? I’m Hua Xiaomo, I’m Hua Xiaomo!! Zi Yunsui, why are you ignoring me... please wake up... look at Hua Xiaomo..." came the persistent calling to the person on the bed. A look of worried confusion cast over Hua Xiaomo’s beautiful face, tightening her slender fingers.
Listening to the voice from inside, Ye Xiangxue was also meticulously timing it. They should be waking up soon. The potion he mixed in the alcohol should only last 24 hours. If not within the hour, the person should wake up...
Sure enough, fifteen minutes passed.
"Hanhan... I’m Hua Xiaomo... are you ignoring Hua Xiaomo... how can you watch Hua Xiaomo be sad? I beg you, please wake up..." Hua Xiaomo called out to Zi Yunsui, every word heartfelt. No longer maintaining composure, she gently lifted the quilt, grasping his hand tightly, intertwining their fingers. At the moment their skins touched.
His hand moved slightly. Hua Xiaomo felt it and nearly cried with excitement.
"Zi Yunsui... Zi Yunsui..." she called twice, joy uncontained.
Zi Yunsui’s consciousness gradually returned, faintly hearing a familiar female voice calling him, slightly turning his head, with a furrowed brow, he moved towards the sound.
"Zi Yunsui... great, Zi Yunsui, open your eyes, I’m Hua Xiaomo, I’m Hua Xiaomo... look at me." Hua Xiaomo continued to call out to Zi Yunsui, her excitement palpable as she watched the person slowly wake from sleep.
Hua Xiaomo...
Zi Yunsui recognized the name in his memory, a name so familiar and endearing...
Gradually, his handsome face gained some color, his eyelids moved, and after twitching twice, they finally opened slowly...
The first sight was a pair of dazzling brown eyes, such beautiful eyes, a pair filled with deep emotion that seemed to shimmer with tears.
"Yi... Yun..." he struggled to call out, his head still hurt, attempting to raise a hand to his forehead, only to find it held by hers...
Hua Xiaomo released him in shock, looking worriedly at his expression; his face was pale, his vitality low...
"Zi Yunsui, how are you feeling, is there any discomfort?" Hua Xiaomo asked worriedly, unsure if Ye Xiangxue’s drug had any adverse effects on his body.
After a few minutes, Zi Yunsui’s awareness became clearer, seeing the person beside him... he suddenly grabbed her arm forcefully.
"Hua Xiaomo, you’re Hua Xiaomo... you, you, why are you here?" Zi Yunsui asked shockingly, fully awake now. The next second, he pulled her into a tight embrace, commanding, "Don’t leave me, I forbid you to marry anyone else, you can’t marry someone else, you’re my woman, you can only marry me, can only marry me!!" Zi Yunsui kept repeating, his emotions uncontrollable.
Hua Xiaomo was deeply moved by his words.
"I won’t marry anyone else, ever, I won’t leave you!!!" Hua Xiaomo replied emotionally, her hands gripping his smooth shoulders tightly.
Zi Yunsui suddenly let go of her, examining her eyes and face closely; this face etched into his soul, one he deeply cherished and loved.
"Really?" Zi Yunsui couldn’t help but ask, a hint of doubt in his eyes; why was she here now?
"Yes." Hua Xiaomo nodded. Tears rolled silently down her shining eyes.
"Don’t cry, don’t cry, tell me, what exactly happened; weren’t you supposed to be at ’Tilian Xinyuan’?" Zi Yunsui questioned in confusion, remembering something he had to ask, "And, those magazines said you’re getting married to Qi Longbing tomorrow..."
