Chapter 225 - 225 Little Fool
225 Little Fool
“Should I pity you and say that you’re miserable? You could actually come up with the idea of changing direction, and narrowly avoided the military! You fell into the river and weren’t eaten by the man-eating crocodiles! I should say that you were lucky. Looking at your miserable state now, it’s indeed too strange!”
As Su Qing complained, a helpless and amused expression slowly appeared on her fair and exquisite face. When Huo Qi saw this, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
When Su Qing saw this, she immediately pushed his face away and pretended to be cold. “Turn around. I’m going to remove your bandages!”
This was the second time Su Qing had touched Huo Qi’s face today, if the slap before was also considered a touch.
He turned around helplessly and asked Su Qing slowly, “Why are you here? You even suddenly appeared and rushed to my side to save me! What’s going on with the military people you mentioned just now? How did you know that I was here? Did you meet Huo Feng on the way? Why didn’t he come with you? Where is he now? We… Hmph!”
Huo Qi could feel that Su Qing’s movements on his back were already gentle enough, but the bandage closest to the wound was stuck to his flesh. It was extremely painful even when she pulled it gently. He was caught off guard, and he couldn’t help but grunt. His voice was actually extremely low and sexy, as though he was seducing her!
Su Qing listened to Huo Qi’s nagging impatiently. She frowned and said softly, “Can you be quiet? I won’t be responsible for hurting you!”
Huo Qi smiled shamelessly and lowered his head to retort in a low voice, “It’s precisely because it hurts that I have to talk to you to distract myself! If you don’t let me speak, you might as well let me die from the pain!”
Su Qing looked up at the back of his slender and sexy neck and shoulders and heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that she would bear with it for the sake of his injury.
She dipped a cotton swab in iodine and pressed it on the bandage that was stuck together, then answered Huo Qi’s question calmly.
“The military is here to eliminate Scorpion. You’re lucky that you didn’t meet them directly! I indeed met Huo Feng. He mentioned to me that you were in front, so I came along with him! When I saw the traces of a fight on the shore, I thought that you were dead. Thinking that you had saved me a few times, it would be unreasonable for me not to collect your corpse!”
The bandage was wrapped around Huo Qi’s chest. In order to ease his pain, Su Qing lowered her body and approached his back. In a gesture that was close to a back hug, she put her hand under his arm and picked up the strap on her other hand in front of Huo Qi’s sexy chest and abs.
Under the light of the fire, this posture looked a little ambiguous and beautiful. A different feeling stopped in Huo Qi’s heart. Just as Su Qing was about to retract her hand and leave, he subconsciously reached out and grabbed her slender fingers.
He felt the overly intimate position and distance between him and Su Qing. After pausing for two seconds, he asked hoarsely, “So, why did you follow me? If you don’t like me, why did you take the risk? Only the wives of the men of the Huo family only have the right to collect their corpses.”
Su Qing was stunned. Her heart skipped a beat, or rather, she was shocked!
When Huo Qi said this in a hoarse voice, he sounded especially fragile and gentle. It was as though he had already taken off his outermost hard shell in front of Su Qing, leaving only an incomparably soft heart that was beating wildly in front of her.
Perhaps, there was even some anticipation.
Su Qing didn’t quite understand her own feelings. She subconsciously retracted her hand and frowned as she said honestly, “I don’t know. I was just afraid that you would die.”
Huo Qi was stunned and suddenly turned to look at Su Qing. As though he wasn’t sure if what he had just said came from her mouth, he asked doubtfully, “What did you say?”
Su Qing frowned and looked straight into Huo Qi’s eyes in confusion. “I don’t know if I like you, but I was afraid that you would die. When I saw those corpses just now, I was very afraid that I would find you among them. When I confirmed that you weren’t dead, I heaved a sigh of relief, as though I hadn’t lost anything important.”
As Huo Qi listened to Su Qing’s honest analysis of him, a huge joy slowly rose on his pale face.
After Su Qing saw the smile on his lips, she was pulled into his warm embrace.
“My little fool! If this isn’t liking, what is?”
