Chapter 254 Stones Also Get Hot One Day
A few seconds before she opened her eyes, Song Xi was still in a daze. She instinctively took a sip of saliva and felt her whole body go limp. When she raised her eyelids, she found someone standing not far in front of her. She was so frightened that she turned over and sat up. .
"You're back." Song Xi's voice was lazy, her face was a little red from sleep, and there were still marks on the left side of her face from the sofa.
George Sheng said: "Why are you sleeping here?"
Song Xi paused for two seconds and instinctively said: "Medicine!"
She thought she had slept. What if the medicine in the kitchen was brewed for a long time? Whether it was bitter or not was another matter. If she couldn't drink it, she would have to drink it again. She picked up her phone in a panic and took a closer look. It was eleven fifty-two. It was less than twelve o'clock, no wonder she didn't hear the alarm clock.
Visibly relieved, Song Xi stood up and said, "Just a few more minutes, your medicine will be ready soon."
Seeing her wilted look, George Sheng felt a little weak in his heart for no reason. It was because he was making medicine for him, so he stayed up so late. At first, he deliberately tormented her half the night, but now he looked at her as if she had lost her soul. Before I had time to think about it, I already said, "Go up."
Song Xi said: "Don't worry, it will be ready in three to five minutes."
George Sheng didn't say anything else, and turned around to walk upstairs. Song Xi suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, I'm going out of town tomorrow."
Hearing this, George Sheng stopped and turned to look at her.
Song Xi said: "I want to say hello to you."
Now he is responsible for her safety. When she travels every day, there are people following her. If she leaves Night City without saying hello in advance, in his words, you do it yourself. Don't blame me for not protecting her well.
George Sheng wanted to say calmly: "Where to go?"
Song Xi replied: "Min City."
In fact, he wanted to ask what he was going to do in Mincheng, but Song Xi didn't say that it was her private matter. He asked without changing his expression: "How long?"
Song Xi said: "I'll go back the same day. If it's troublesome, I don't need anyone to follow me. I'll just go see a friend."
George Sheng said 'hmm': "Is there anything else?"
Song Xi said: "No more."
He turned and went upstairs. Before he could reach the door of the room, her cell phone alarm clock rang from downstairs. She turned off the alarm and walked quickly to the kitchen. George Sheng finally knew why she clutched her cell phone while sleeping.
A pot of medicine was fried into a bowl of soup. Song Xi carefully pressed some rock sugar into it and took a small taste with a small spoon. It was indeed not as bitter today as yesterday.
Carrying the bowl to the second floor, George Sheng left the door open. Song Xi knocked on the door, but no one answered. She walked in with the bowl and heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom.
After helping him light the incense and peel the lollipop, Song Xi was about to leave. The bathroom door opened, and the hot air gushed out along with George Sheng, who was wearing a black bathrobe. She said aloud: "After you drink the medicine, Get some rest early."
George Sheng wiped his hair with a large towel and asked casually: "What time is the flight?"
Song Xi said: "At seven o'clock."
George Sheng didn't answer, Song Xi said: "Good night." Then turned and left his room.
Back upstairs, as soon as Song Xi's head hit the pillow, she immediately felt groggy, as if she hadn't slept at all. She felt like she had just fallen asleep for a while. The alarm clock rang, and she squinted her eyes in disbelief. It was four-thirty in the morning.
Not daring to waste time, Song Xi gritted her teeth and forced herself out of bed, quickly packing up as quickly as possible. She had to walk out for a while before she could call a car. If she wasn't careful, she might not even be able to catch the plane.
The biggest advantage of going back and forth on the same day is that there is no need to prepare luggage. Song Xi got dressed, carried her bag and went downstairs. When she reached the second floor, she was stunned. Why were the lights on the first floor still on?
Slowly walking down the stairs, she saw George Sheng on the sofa in the living room. He was wearing a black shirt and black trousers. He was sitting on the sofa with his head slightly raised and his eyes closed.
She was puzzled. Song Xi's movements were very light and almost silent. However, when she was still three blocks away from reaching the ground, George Sheng still opened his eyes and turned his head to look at her.
Song Xi looked at his unruffled black pupils, blinked, and asked aloud: "Why are you sitting here so early?"
George Sheng leaned forward, picked up the car keys on the table, stood up and walked to the entrance, but did not answer.
Song Xi pursed her lips and came to the entrance. He put on his shoes and walked out. When she went out, George Sheng had already driven the car in front of her.
Song Xi couldn't believe it was because of her that he got up so early, so he stood by the driver's seat door, looked at the people inside and said, "Where are you going?"
George Sheng turned his head and looked up at her, with a lukewarm expression on his face. He asked instead, "You're not going to the airport?"
Song Xi nodded immediately, "I'll go."
George Sheng frowned slightly, "Stop talking nonsense and get in the car."
Song Xi got into the passenger seat, started the car and drove out of the villa.
It was only around four o'clock in the morning, the sky was dark, and there were no pedestrians or cars on the road. It was extremely quiet inside the car. Song Xi looked ahead, and after holding it in his mind for a long time, he couldn't help but ask: "Are you going to have something to do later? ?"
George Sheng guessed what Song Xi wanted to ask, and with an expressionless face, he replied: "At this point, if you rob a bank, the bank won't open."
When Song Xi heard that he was so choked, she forced herself to look at him sideways and asked, "Then you are just sending me to the airport?"
After asking, Song Xi was already prepared for a narrow escape. If she was so sentimental, he would definitely be able to show off the flowers.
However, there was no sarcasm on George Sheng's face as Song Xi had expected. His expression remained unchanged and he replied indifferently: "I don't want to owe anyone a favor. You stay up late to help me boil the medicine, and I'll take you to the airport. It's even."
Hearing this, Song Xi was speechless for a moment, unable to use words to describe the momentary emotion in her heart. Although his tone was indifferent, he was indeed doing something good for her.
Song Xi is a person who is particularly easily moved. In normal life, she is afraid that she will be moved too easily, so she always looks aloof. She is not born arrogant, but just wraps her soft core with a hard exterior. I am afraid that if I give my feelings too easily, I will be hurt.
After being speechless for a long time, Song Xi tried her best to suppress the overwhelming emotions in her heart. When her mood gradually calmed down, she turned her head and asked him: "Are you sleeping?"
George Sheng didn't squint, and there was no expression on his face. He opened his thin lips and replied directly: "Except for being bitter, your medicine has no other curative effect. I can't sleep at all."
Song Xi said cheerfully: "Then when I come back, I will help you adjust it carefully. Don't worry. Sleep is also related to mood swings. Try to be as calm as possible, which will help with sleep."
George Sheng said: "If you give me less bitter medicine, my mind will naturally be at peace."
Song Xi accidentally coaxed in a doting tone: "You are so powerful, are you still afraid of a little bitter medicine? Looking at your performance yesterday, I just want to give you a hundred points."
It was that feeling again, as if her hand had penetrated his skin and scratched directly on the tip of his heart. In an instant, his whole body was electrified, numb and numb, and his mind was blank.
Quietly holding the steering wheel tightly, after a while, George Sheng turned his head and looked at her with sullen eyes, "What do you take me for?"
