Chapter 559: Appetite
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Perhaps it was a coincidence, but Shen Xiaoxiao woke up not long after Long Xi had left. However, when she woke up, there was no one in the room except for two people guarding the door.
Her mind was very clear, and she even knew everything that had happened in the past two days. It was because she knew that she had no intention of moving after she woke up.
She seemed to have guessed what had happened to her.
She raised her hand and looked at the small hole that glowed with a blue light. Her expression became colder and colder. Suoyin Flower Tears. She had been poisoned by Suoyin Flower Tears.
All three of them had been poisoned and had taken the antidote. Why was she the only one who had been poisoned? Why was that?
Shock, resentment, and too many other emotions made her head hurt. However, none of these could compare to her eagerness to see her two children. Since there was no antidote for Suoyin Flower Tears… She had to make the best preparations in the shortest time possible.
The more she was unconscious, the longer she would be unconscious. D*mn Lin Jiahui, d*mn it.
She got out of bed and was just about to jump out of the window after putting on her shoes when the window suddenly opened from the outside.
19 jumped in from the outside. When he saw that Shen Xiaoxiao was about to do the same thing as him, he simply turned around and jumped out again without saying anything.
With him leading the way, the route that Shen Xiaoxiao was going to take was naturally a shorter one.
And the security on the 24th Street of the Western District was not as tight as the Dark Empire’s long-standing base. In addition, Shen Xiaoxiao had been unconscious for two days and had no intention of waking up at all. Therefore… Long Xi naturally did not think that this person would wake up and run away.
As for whether or not someone would come to save her, he had automatically ignored all of this. At this moment, his mind was completely blocked by those so-called thoughts of breaking off love. By the time Long Xi realized that Shen Xiaoxiao had disappeared, he was only angry once again. As expected, love was not a good thing.
19 and Shen Xiaoxiao were extremely fast. Moreover, 19 had only stepped on the route for a few days. He would not have gone in if he had not seen Long Xi leave. He did not expect to see Miss preparing to run as soon as he went in. It seemed that she was waiting for Long Xi to leave.
Sitting in the car, before 19 could ask anything, Shen Xiaoxiao said directly, “Bring me some food.”
19 was slightly stunned. Could it be that Long Xi had captured the Miss and starved her for two days?
“What’s that look?”
“Did Boss mistreat you? He didn’t give you food for two days?”
Shen Xiaoxiao didn’t know whether to laugh or say anything. She just urged, “Hurry up, I know you have food in the car.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was really hungry, and her hands were trembling. Then, he took a sandwich from the backseat and handed it to her. Shen Xiaoxiao swallowed it in big mouthfuls. She knew that after being hit by the Suoyin Flower Tears… Every time she woke up, the person needed to quickly replenish enough energy like a starving ghost reincarnated.
To be precise, if you wanted to prolong the time between comas, you needed to replenish a large amount of energy.
The reason why the Suoyin Flower Tears could make people fall into a coma was because it desperately absorbed energy from the blood. This was the result of some favorable information that Old Man Yao had finally researched half a month ago.
Shen Xiaoxiao also began to rejoice. Fortunately, Old Man Yao had sent such favorable news. Otherwise, she would have been completely unprepared.
The three sandwiches were all eaten by Shen Xiaoxiao. After drinking a few bottles of water, Shen Xiaoxiao finally caught her breath and said to 19, “Find a restaurant.”
“Ah? You’re not full yet? Don’t tell me you have another child already?”
“My ass. I’m hungry.”
Shen Xiaoxiao and 19 were used to joking around, and their conversation was not censored at all. Shen Xiaoxiao did not care at all when she heard 19’s words.
They stopped at a Chinese restaurant. Although it was already past the dinner rush, Shen Xiaoxiao still ordered a table full of dishes after ordering a private room.
19 was an escort. He had been starving there for two days, but he was definitely not like Shen Xiaoxiao who ate three sandwiches and still ate half a basin of rice and so many meat dishes on the table.
Something was wrong with Shen Xiaoxiao. Definitely wrong.
“What happened?”
“Nothing. I’m so hungry.”
“I’m asking you what happened in the past two days. Why didn’t you send any news?”
“Oh, he cut off my communication device, so I couldn’t send any news for the time being.”
Shen Xiaoxiao had already thought of an excuse in the car. Not only that… She didn’t wait for 19 to speak before continuing, “He drugged me to make me feel weak so I didn’t run out. I starved myself for a few days and waited for the effects of the drug to wear off before I dared to leave.”
19 felt that this answer made a lot of sense. However, had she eaten too much after starving herself for a few days? Moreover, she seemed to be able to eat even more. Wasn’t this a little strange?
“Are the children alright?”
“They’re fine. I said that you went on a business trip. The two little fellows are very obedient.”
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded. In the end, she could not hold it in anymore. She reached out and grabbed a chicken drumstick to eat. 19 frowned, but he did not ask any questions. It seemed that he had to investigate properly. What was going on?
“Alright, let’s go back.”
Looking at the mess of cups and plates on the table, Shen Xiaoxiao frowned. She had eaten so much, but she didn’t feel full at all. It seemed that it was indeed related to energy intake.
But she wasn’t hungry either. In fact, she wasn’t hungry at all at the beginning. She just pretended to be hungry and her hands trembled. She finally knew that she couldn’t feel hungry after suffering from Suoyin Flower Tears, she didn’t forget that she really hadn’t had a single grain of rice for the past two days, other than feeding her some water.
Therefore, most of the time, no one would be able to eat after being hit by the Suoyin Flower Tears, so it made sense that she neglected the most important point of energy intake.
After Shen Xiaoxiao sat back in the car, she was in the mood to have a good chat with 19.
“Has there been any news from Reger?”
“I thought you would tell me that we should go back and gather people to get back at him.”
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled. Getting back at him was indeed her personality, but it was definitely not now.
“Of course I have to get back at him. Otherwise, he would really think I’m a pushover. But right now, what I want more is all the territory on Western District 24th Street. What’s the situation on Reger’s side?”
“I’ve arranged for the boats to send the girls back to their respective countries. But these two days, Reger seems to have set his eyes on Han Jia. He seems to want to play with that woman, so he didn’t do anything.”
“Want to play? Tell Reger. As long as she’s not dead, he can do whatever he wants. But for Han Jia’s life, I want to take it personally.”
“Yes, understood.”
19 never felt that there was anything wrong with Shen Xiaoxiao’s decision, and Shen Xiaoxiao did not tell 19 that Han Jia had done something to her. However, Shen Xiaoxiao still complained about Dark 1’s actions at that time:
“Dark 1 helped Long Xi, or else I would have caught her.”
“What? D*mn Dark 1, I’m going to teach him a lesson.”
Looking at 19’s angry look, Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly felt that although it was raining tonight, the air was not as suffocating as before….
