Chapter 116: Nightmare
In a trance, Chi Xiaoqing only felt as if she had a long, long dream
She saw barefoot walking on the parched earth, surrounded by nothing but barrenness, without a trace of life
The only life other than himself was the crow not far away with half of its wings broken
Chi Xiaoqing felt that this crow was very familiar, as if she had known each other for a long time, she looked at the crow with a broken wing and wanted to fly away, and she hurriedly followed behind it
She wanted to get out of this barren place, out of this uninhabited ghost place, but she and the broken wing, one flew, the other walked, and after a long, long time, she still didn't go out, Chi Xiaoqing felt that she was about to go crazy, she wanted to cry, shout, but after she really cried, no one heard it, and it didn't even seem that the crow could hear her
After a long time, Chi Xiaoqing found that the crow's body was slowly fading and becoming transparent, until it finally disappeared
No, Chi Xiaoqing shouted out again, but there was still no response, and then, even Chi Xiaoqing herself didn't know if she had made a sound
As if she couldn't bear this torture anymore Chi Xiaoqing sat stupidly on top of a boulder Looking at the distance that she couldn't see at all, she smiled stupidly with tears in her eyes
And all of this Chi Xiaoqing saw in her eyes She felt as if she was split With two consciousnesses One was trapped in that dream and was tortured to the point of going crazy The other remained in her body and watched all this happen with cold eyes
Although I know that it is all a dream, just wake myself up and everything will be fine, no crows, no desolation, no despair
But no matter how much she shouted, no matter how much she screamed, she couldn't seem to hear herself sitting on a boulder in her dreams
Is it really going to be trapped here Ji Xiaoqing was a little anxious and a little panicked At this time, Chi Xiaoqing suddenly heard Brian's voice
It's really a hallucination The moment she heard Brian's voice, Chi Xiaoqing couldn't help but smile self-deprecatingly, although she felt that she couldn't make such an expression now, but she knew very well what kind of feeling she was feeling in her heart now
"Chi Xiaoqing Open the Door"
Brian rang the doorbell outside the door for a long time, but he didn't see Chi Xiaoqing come out to open the door for him, and he gradually became a little worried in his heart, and after knocking on the door a few times, he still didn't see Chi Xiaoqing come out to open the door, and no one answered her mobile phone Brian only felt that he was a little panicked
Brian began to pound the door panel vigorously, and even called out Chi Xiaoqing's name directly in his mouth, and he was really a little worried, worried about whether something had happened to her
In the morning, when Brian went to the cold house to look for Leng Haoxuan for the affairs of those consortiums, he saw Leng Haoxuan looking depressed, and no matter what you said to him, he had that absent-minded expression, Brian felt that something must have happened
Moreover, Brian only saw Ye Ziqiao's figure as soon as he entered the door, but Chi Xiaoqing was nowhere to be found, and then Brian secretly inquired with Aunt Li only to know that Chi Xiaoqing had left the Leng family
Brian thought to himself that Chi Xiaoqing didn't seem to have anywhere else to go except for Ye Feiyu, so he looked for it directly from memory, and after asking the administrator downstairs, he immediately confirmed his guess, and the administrator also told him that he hadn't seen Chi Xiaoqing go out today, so Brian went up directly to find her, and she should be able to find someone
But Brian had been knocking on the door for so long, and there was no response from inside, and no one answered her cell phone, and Brian couldn't help but wonder if something had happened to her inside
Brian decided to knock on the door again and try to hit Chi Xiaoqing's phone again, and if there was no response, Brian called the police and forcibly broke down the door
In a trance, Chi Xiaoqing seemed to hear her mobile phone ringing, and after raising her hand and groping for a long time, Chi Xiaoqing finally held the mobile phone in her hand, and at the same time sobered up a little
Whoever the caller was, she felt that she should be grateful to him, to him for pulling her back from that nightmare
"Hey" After thinking for a long time, Chi Xiaoqing finally connected the phone and heard her voice in a daze Chi Xiaoqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart
"Miss Chi, are you okay, I'm Bran, right at your door, you come and open the door for me first."
Brian heard Chi Xiaoqing's somewhat weak voice coming from his mobile phone, and while he was relieved, he was worried again, and listening to the voice, it seemed that Chi Xiaoqing's current condition was very bad
"Brian" sounds like a very familiar name Chi Xiaoqing was stunned for two seconds, and after thinking about it carefully, she remembered who Brian was
It took another half a minute for Chi Xiaoqing to react, and Brian said that he was at the door and asked him to open the door for him
Chi Xiaoqing struggled to get up from the bed and walked towards the door, every step she took felt extremely uncomfortable, she felt as if her throat had been slipped by a blade, and it hurt hotly, while her hands and feet were as heavy as if they had been filled with lead, and it took a lot of effort to take every extra step, and her body seemed to really have her own consciousness, completely out of her control
When Chi Xiaoqing finally stumbled to the side of the door and opened the door, before she could see Brian's face clearly, she lost consciousness again
Brian stood at the door and waited for several minutes before Chi Xiaoqing opened the door, but she herself fainted directly the moment the door was opened, and Brian quickly grabbed her so as not to fall to the ground
The moment he touched Chi Xiaoqing's body, Brian realized that her body was so hot
Brian turned around and went into the house, closed the door, and then carried Chi Xiaoqing back to the bedroom, and after putting Chi Xiaoqing on the bed, Brian covered the quilt for her, went to find a towel to wet it, and then put it on her forehead, and then remembered to call for help
When Chi Xiaoqing woke up again, it was already noon the next day, and before she could open her eyes, Chi Xiaoqing already knew that she was in the hospital again, because she smelled the unpleasant, but very familiar smell of disinfectant
"Wake up, do you feel better" Brian saw that Chi Xiaoqing woke up, and immediately looked at her with a concerned face, he really didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would have been if he hadn't gone to find her by himself
Chi Xiaoqing turned around when she heard the voice, stared at Brian for a while before recognizing it was him Looking at the concerned expression on Brian's face, Chi Xiaoqing smiled sweetly at him, but this smile looked a little weak and bitter
"Thank you, Brian, you saved me again," Chi Xiaoqing said words of thanks to Brian a little weakly, only to feel that her throat hurt as if it were really roasted
"You have a high fever, the fever is too bad, so your throat is a little inflamed, fortunately, the fever is almost gone now, I believe it will be fine in a while," Brian immediately explained to her as if he knew what Chi Xiaoqing was thinking
Brian looked at Chi Xiaoqing's somewhat pale face and her chapped lips, and only felt that his heart was about to be entangled, Brian poured a cup of hot water, helped Chi Xiaoqing, and carefully fed her to drink the glass of water
"Actually, you don't have to say thank you to me, I said that as long as you are in need, I will be there for you, no matter when, no matter where, I also said, I hope you don't forget me, you can think of me when you need help, but it seems that you have forgotten me."
Brian fed Chi Xiaoqing water while complaining to her with some grievances Chi Xiaoqing would never realize how much pain he felt when he saw her like this
Brian's words made Ji Xiaoqing stunned again, and she thought to herself how nice it would be if the person she said this to was someone else
"Chi, come with me, I'll take you back to Italy, I will definitely take good care of you, and I won't let you be hurt in the slightest" Brian saw that Chi Xiaoqing didn't speak for a long time, so he brought up this matter again He really wanted to take her away, and he really wanted to take good care of her
Will take good care of me This is the first time I have heard this Chi Xiaoqing asked herself silently in her heart and couldn't help but show a wry smile
"Brian, I really thank you, I know you care about me, but I can't go with you," Chi Xiaoqing looked at Brian with a serious face, and smiled lightly again, rejecting his kindness
Now she can't leave here yet, she still has to wait for Ye Feiyu to come back in this city, if she leaves, Ye Feiyu will definitely not find her when she comes back
"Are you really not thinking about it anymore" Brian looked at Chi Xiaoqing with some disappointment, but she didn't expect that she still wouldn't leave here now
Ji Xiaoqing didn't reply, just smiled and looked at Brian and shook his head again
Seeing Chi Xiaoqing's expression, the look of disappointment on Brian's face became even heavier, but soon, this look of loss was swept away by him, and it was replaced by the smile that Chi Xiaoqing was familiar with
"It's okay, I'm still the same thing, as long as you can think of me when you need help," Brian looked at Chi Xiaoqing's pale face and said this sentence again
Although he really wanted to take Chi Xiaoqing away, he would also respect her intentions, and if she didn't want to, he wouldn't force it
This time, Chi Xiaoqing stayed in the hospital for three or four days before leaving, and for the past few days, Brian has been staying by the side to take care of her, during which Brian mentioned twice that he should let Chi Xiaoqing go with him, but she refused
"It feels so good to be home, even the air smells better," After returning home from the hospital, Chi Xiaoqing took a deep breath and nestled herself in the sofa
And Brian went to the kitchen to prepare food for her Looking at Brian's busy figure in the kitchen, Chi Xiaoqing couldn't help but start to be in a trance again
It's a scene like this that always makes her feel warm, and it's the kind of scene that she's imagined countless times that the man in the kitchen would turn around and smile at her from time to time, with a doting glint in his eyes
Although Brian also poked his head out of the kitchen from time to time and smiled at Chi Xiaoqing, he was not the man she imagined
