Chapter Seventy-Two: Joe Twilight, I Like You So Much
Xiao Ou?"
I can vaguely hear a little breathing but I can't see people, which is more worrying and frightening than seeing people, Qiao Twilight's heart will beat hard, and he walks in step by step through the high beam of the car, and the more he walks, the more he feels that the sound of breathing is clear.
"I'm here. ”
Finally, Xu Ruoou spoke, and the four weak words seemed to have exhausted her whole strength.
Qiao Twilight no longer tempted, and went straight to the source of the sound just now, and the people outside finally remembered that he needed a light source, and the high-intensity searchlights shone in unison, illuminating the huge warehouse as if it were day.
It also made Qiao Twilight see Xu Ruoou snuggled by the wall, dressed in messy clothes, his eyes covered with black cloth, his hands were tied behind his back, and his legs were stretched straight and straight, not straight, and his bound legs couldn't bend at all.
He almost didn't dare to think about whether Xu Ruoou had been bound like this all the time in the past three days, unable to move, unable to lie down, and unable to see anything.
"It's okay, I'm here to pick you up, it's okay, it's okay......"
Qiao Twilight was like a repeater, constantly repeating the three words that it was okay, as if this was the only way to make Xu Ruoou relax and make himself feel more at ease.
"Shhh...... It hurts ......."
Xu Ruoou groaned lowly, and Qiao Twilight thought that she had been careful to untie the hemp ropes that had been mixed with skin and mucus, but it still hurt Xu Ruoou.
"It's okay, you continue. ”
Qiao Dusk was at a loss and didn't know what to do, but Xu Ruoou gasped and reluctantly comforted him.
"It's going to be untied sooner or later, you can untie it sooner and I'll be relaxed sooner, otherwise I suspect I won't be able to reach the front of my arm, hehe. ”
I don't know if it's really a joke, or if I'm pretending to be strong to comfort Qiao Twilight, Xu Ruoou smiled softly, and rubbed Qiao Twilight's arm by the way, like a kitten that pleases its master.
Qiao Twilight didn't look at her at first, but the movements of her hands no longer hesitated, and quickly and ruthlessly tore off the hemp rope and threw it aside, the scar on Xu Ruoou's wrist that was strangled instantly oozed blood beads, but Qiao Twilight only paused, then took two steps back, and untied the hemp rope on Xu Ruoou's feet in the same way and threw it aside.
"Bear with me, I came in a hurry and didn't bring a doctor, and now the light is too strong and you can't take off your blindfold, it will hurt your eyes. ”
In the past, Joe Twilight would never explain these small things, but now his heart was like being pinched by a big hand, and the pain made it a little difficult for him to breathe.
In order to divert his attention and Xu Ruoou's attention, Qiao Twilight explained softly, for fear that Xu Ruoou would misunderstand something, or be too anxious to pull off the blindfold.
"I know, you don't have to blame yourself, in fact, it doesn't hurt very much!"
Xu Ruoou snuggled up to Qiao Twilight's shoulders obediently and sensibly, put his hands on his abdomen weakly, and let Qiao Twilight pick himself up horizontally, and walked quickly to the car outside.
"You might as well cry twice!"
Qiao Twilight glared at her angrily, and remembered that she couldn't see at all now with an eyepatch, and couldn't help but be even more depressed, and didn't even want to speak.
The news of Xu Ruoou's salvation soon spread back to the Qiao family's mansion, and Xu's father and Xu's mother, who had been coaxing Qiao Anzhe and others in the Qiao family's mansion, knew it as soon as possible, and they didn't care about thinking about it anymore, so the couple took Qiao Anzhe straight to the hospital.
As soon as Xu Ruoou arrived at the hospital, the medical staff who had been waiting for a long time pushed her into the emergency department for wound anti-inflammatory dressing, and then arranged a bunch of examinations.
By the time she was finally admitted to the hospital room after a thorough examination, it was already past twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and the blindfolds on her eyes had been removed, and she was recuperating with her eyes closed.
"I asked the doctor and he said that you can only eat some liquid food and not too much now, you are very hungry these days and your stomach is very damaged. ”
Qiao Twilight opened the thermos cup as she spoke, and the rich aroma of rice mixed with the smell of meat filled the air.
Xu Ruoou's stomach rumbled very uncontrollably, making her blush, and she looked at the bowl in Qiao Dusk's hand embarrassedly, her eyes full of longing.
"Don't worry, take small bites. ”
Father and Mother Xu couldn't help but smile with satisfaction when they watched Qiao Dusk treat Xu Ruoou so carefully and carefully outside the ward.
When Xu Ruoou was in college, he didn't know how to meet Xichuan and had a deep love for him, no matter what the couple said, it was useless, and they stopped thinking after a long time.
Xichuan is really not a person who can be entrusted for life, as soon as something happened to their family, he walked away, Xu's father was in a coma in bed again, Xu's mother was exhausted during that time, not only to take care of Xu's father, but also worried that Xu Ruoou would not be able to think about it.
Who knew that Xu Ruoou would be able to catch Qiao Twilight at that time?
At first, they were also afraid, Qiao Dusk's reputation in Haicheng was too polarized, Xu's father had never dealt with him, let alone Xu's mother, they didn't know what the real Qiao Dusk was like, they could only understand it from other people's mouths.
Qiao Twilight in other people's mouths is indifferent and arrogant and has a talented and intelligent son, for any girl's parents, such a man will not be the choice of Chenglong's fast son-in-law, but Xu Ruoou told them that she has already obtained a certificate with Qiao Twilight.
Later, the two of them lived together directly, Xu's father and Xu's mother were helpless to the extreme, but they were helpless, they had nothing, they couldn't compete with Qiao Dusk, and they couldn't give Xu Ruoou a stable future, they couldn't do anything.
Fortunately, now they may be relieved, at least from this point of view, Qiao Dusi's pity for Xu Ruoou is from the heart, and they are also relieved.
"Well, I don't eat it. ”
After eating a small half bowl, Xu Ruoou first refused Qiao Dushi's feeding, his family knew his own family affairs, and he usually didn't eat much, and now he couldn't eat more, this small half bowl was almost the same.
Of course, she must not be full, according to her current appetite, I am afraid that the porridge in this thermos bucket can be drunk by her, and then she can directly push into the rescue room to make a final struggle.
"Really?"
Qiao Twilight was a little worried, he also knew that Xu Ruoou usually ate less, but he thought that she had just suffered this catastrophe, and eating so much might not be much better for his stomach.
"If you don't eat it, you can go back and warm it up, maybe I'll be hungry and I can eat some more after a while." ”
Eating less and eating more often was also told by the doctor, Qiao Twilight heard Xu Ruoou say this and no longer forced her, but he didn't really pour the leftover porridge back, he drank it in three or two sips, washed the dishes and called the kitchen at home in front of the groggy Xu Ruoou, asking them to prepare the porridge and send it over early tomorrow morning.
"Then you won't have to worry about not being able to eat in the morning, so go to sleep. ”
Qiao Twilight leaned over and landed a feather-light kiss on Xu Ruoou's smooth forehead, tucked the quilt for her, and watched her fall asleep quietly.
Xu Ruoou only slept for more than two hours before waking up, with Xu's mother lying on the side of the bed, and Qiao Dusk didn't even have a shadow.
She moved her wrist, and a sharp pain and powerlessness swept over her, forcing her to give up the idea of doing it herself and look helplessly at the ceiling.
Let her wake up Mother Xu who has fallen asleep like this, she really can't do it!
On the contrary, Mother Xu seemed to notice Xu Ruoou's small movements, and soon woke up, and asked her a few regular questions such as whether it was good or not, and Mother Xu poured her a small half bowl of porridge, which was about the same amount as the one Qiao Twilight had fed her before.
"Thank you, Mom. ”
Xu Ruoou took a sip of porridge and looked at Xu's mother with a smile and thanked him. The porridge is no longer as hot as the last time I ate it, but it is warm and slightly hot, as long as you blow it, you can eat it, which will be just right.
"If you have the strength to say thank you, it's better to eat more and take care of your body!"
Mother Xu glared at her with disgust, and the feeding action in her hand did not decrease by half a minute, and was even more gentle.
Xu Ruoou smiled, Mother Xu fed her a bite and she ate a bite, and she never stopped praising Mother Xu throughout the whole process, as if praising was already an instinct.
"You've been missing for a few days, Twilight has been in the office every day to discuss ways to find you, and you have to thank people when you're better!"
Putting down the bowl, Mother Xu looked at Xu Ruoou lovingly and said carefully.
"I understand, Mom, don't worry. ”
Qiao Twilight did not go home after leaving the hospital, and asked Xu's father to take Qiao Anzhe back first, only saying that he would stay in the hospital just in case.
When Xu's father's car was far away, Qiao Twilight got into his car and asked Ah K to drive to a villa that he didn't often visit.
Ah K understood that Aston Martin was speeding all the way on the night road in Haicheng, and when he arrived, the whole villa was brightly lit, and it was built on the mountainside, and there were no neighbors around, all of them were towering trees, which was very scary.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Du Hao tied hands and feet and thrown in the middle of the hall, and he was hanging his head listlessly and didn't know what he was thinking.
Qiao Twilight didn't hide when he entered the door, so soon someone saw him and Ah K, and after saying hello, they also gave Du Hao, who was in a daze, a kick to bring him back to his senses.
"What do you want to do?"
Du Hao saw Qiao Dusk's expression, his eyes wandered, and he didn't dare to look at him.
"Let's talk about it, what are you kidnapping my wife for?"
Joe Twilight stood a few paces away, looking at him condescendingly, expressionless.
"What else can I do, of course, I want to take revenge with a grudge!"
Du Hao pursed his lips, thinking that he acted very realistically.
Mr. Mo has already given him a large sum of money, although it will not make the family worry about food and clothing for a lifetime, but he can also live a good life.
Du Hao knew very well in his heart that he could only carry this matter by himself, maybe Mr. Mo would give him the rest of the money for his good performance.
But if he really bites Mr. Mo, not only will he be unable to protect himself, but even the safety of his family may be difficult to protect.
"Really, you should know who I am, right?"
Joe Twilight didn't know if it was okay, turned around and sat down on the sofa to the side, unable to see her joy or anger.
Ah K kicked Du Hao in disgust, kicking him not far from Qiao Twilight, equally silent.
"Qiao Dusk, the chairman of Qiao's Group, who doesn't know?"
Du Hao hadn't realized that Qiao Dushi was already on the verge of anger, and he squinted at him, and his tone of voice was even more mocking.
"It's good to know. ”
Dropping this sentence, Qiao Dusk snapped his fingers, and the bodyguards who had been installing murals came over, especially Lu An, who was unaware of the trick and caused Xu Ruoou to be kidnapped, which would hate Du Hao even more.
"What are you going to do!"
Du Hao was full of excitement, and the belated sense of crisis made him understand what he was going to face, but it was already late, Qiao Twilight's patience had been exhausted, and it was not like listening to him say useless lies and nonsense.
When Xu Ruoou woke up the next day, Xu's mother had already gone back with the maid who came to deliver breakfast, Qiao Twilight was sitting on the fabric sofa and tapping on the notebook, not knowing what she was busy with, she hooked her lips and smiled.
"Joe, I'm so hungry. ”
Once upon a time, the dream of three meals for two people and four seasons suddenly came true, and Xu Ruoou has never been so satisfied as now.
What could be more wonderful than waking up and having your lover by your side?
"Huh, awake?"
Qiao Twilight was suddenly called by her name and couldn't react, all that was floating in her mind were data reports and the text of the plan, and after a few seconds, she finally sorted everything out, got up and walked to the side of the bed to help Xu Ruoou prepare breakfast.
Probably afraid that Xu Ruoou would get tired of drinking a kind of porridge, Qiao's kitchen intimately changed one, last night it was preserved egg and lean porridge, and this morning it became candied date barley porridge.
The ruddy and plump dates melted into the porridge because they were boiled for too long, and the sticky rice burst into white and fat rice flowers, plus the barley to dispel dampness, a small bowl of porridge beautified and nourishing, sweet and silky just like Xu Ruoou's mood at this moment.
"Do your chefs specialize in how to make porridge, and why is each porridge so delicious?"
Xu Ruoou looked at the empty bowl with unfinished eyes, and was a little reluctant to look away.
There is still the sweet taste of dates between the teeth and cheeks, and there is a faint aroma of porridge wafting in the air, which is naked torture for Xu Ruoou, who has not eaten enough.
"Like?"
Joe twilight hooked her lips, in a happy mood.
As the saying goes, if you want to keep someone, you must first keep her stomach, even if you can't keep it, you can let the chef at home keep it!
"I love it!"
Xu Ruoou looked at Qiao Twilight with starry eyes, and the word "want to drink" was written all over her face.
"Hmm. ”
Who knew that Qiao Twilight just answered, and didn't say anything else.
Xu Ruoou puffed up again, but he was embarrassed to lose his temper at Qiao Twilight over this trivial matter, and took two deep breaths to suppress the matter, and continued to smile.
"Joe Twilight, when can I be discharged from the hospital?"
"What do you call me? Joe Twilight?"
Qiao Twilight's focus was crooked to Siberia, and the appearance of raising his eyebrows and hooking his lips and sneering made Xu Ruoou tremble, but he didn't know what was wrong with calling his name.
"That'...... Mr. Joe?"
Xu Ruoou asked tentatively, staring at Qiao Dusk's face seriously, for fear of missing his slightest subtle expression, so as to misunderstand his emotions.
"Huh!"
With a light snort, Xu Ruoou instantly made a bitter face and was at a loss.
"When you learn to call me correctly, you'll be discharged. ”
Qiao Twilight is gone, Xu Ruoou is left alone in the ward, and she can't get out of bed yet, and the doctor forbids her to use her legs for a month.
"What! Qiao Twilight can't do it, and neither can Mr. Qiao! Isn't it possible to call Mr. Qiao?"
Seeing that Qiao Twilight was resolute and had no intention of turning back, Xu Ruoou muttered to himself, depressed.
When it was close to noon, an unexpected guest came to the ward, and he was also the first person to come to the hospital to see Xu Ruoou, Qu Yao.
"Team Leader Qu, please make a special trip and bring so many things. ”
Xu Ruoou couldn't get out of bed, so he couldn't stop Qu Yao from taking it out of the canvas bag like Doraemon's treasure bag.
From fruits to desserts, it can be said that there is everything.
"I don't know what Assistant Xu likes to eat, these are all good for your health in my opinion, you eat more and recover your health early!"
Xu Ruoou's kidnapping, because of the two bloody gossip revelations, most netizens knew about it, and the employees of Qiao's Group naturally did not miss it.
What's more, Xu Ruoou is the proprietress of Qiao's Group, everyone knows it very well, and the attention to her is naturally higher.
Xu Ruoou's hospitalization was still inquired by Qu Yao from Ah K, and it is unknown whether there was Qiao Dusk's instruction later.
Anyway, Qu Yao didn't think about it so much, after knowing which hospital Xu Ruoou lived in, she immediately asked for leave and bought a lot of food and drink to the hospital, and went to the door of the ward with her brain congested, Qu Yao realized that her identity was embarrassing, and she didn't have much intersection with Xu Ruoou, so rashly coming over was probably going to make Xu Ruoou think a lot.
Qu Yao stood outside the ward for a long time, and finally the idea of "it's a pity to leave like this" took over, and there was the scene just now.
"Thank you, Team Leader Qu, but you better take it back, the doctor won't let me eat these, I can't even eat!"
Probably because of the events on Christmas Eve, Xu Ruoou always felt that Qu Yao's hostility towards him had completely disappeared, and it might even turn into a strange flattery.
As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, Qu Yao never said half an inappropriate word from beginning to end, and she didn't even say anything inappropriate, so Xu Ruoou couldn't speak coldly, so she could only talk with a smile.
Qu Yao is not an ignorant person, she accompanied Xu Ruoou to talk about the trouble for a while and then left under the pretext, but she didn't take any of the things she brought, only said that if she didn't like it, she would just throw it away.
It's impossible to throw it away, what a waste it is! But Xu Ruoou can't eat it, so he can only watch the whole coffee table be placed, and he wants to cry without tears.
What's even more excessive is that Qiao Twilight, after bringing porridge over at noon, she served a bowl of porridge and sat on the sofa, eating unceremoniously at a table of food, especially those desserts and snacks that he couldn't put away, and he ate them one by one.
"Don't you think you're excessive?"
Xu Ruoou held the small bowl and complained with resentment in his eyes.
"Didn't you say that my chef's porridge is delicious?"
Joe Twilight was unmoved, and even put a big red cream strawberry in her mouth.
"What kind of grudge do we have, why do you do this to me?"
Xu Ruoou wailed, resisting the urge to grab it, and his eyes were red.
What is more devastating and desperate than having your favorite fruit right in front of you and only sighing at your will?
Yes, someone eats your favorite fruit in front of you when you can't eat it, and eats it cool!
"Joe Twilight, I'm going to be at odds with you!"
After realizing that pleading was useless, Xu Ruoou decided to rise up, thinking that he stared at Qiao Twilight viciously and put down his ambitions.
"I hope your backbone will make your rebellion successful. ”
Joe Twilight ate another strawberry, the round and plump cream strawberry was full of aroma just by smelling it, and the juice flowed sideways when he took a bite, and it was very delicious at first sight.
The pink liquid slid down Joe's chin and dyed the corners of the collar of his shirt a pale pink, making it even more seductive.
It's not Joe Twilight Temptation, it's Strawberry!
As a senior strawberry lover, Xu Ruoou couldn't refuse the temptation of strawberries at all, and he couldn't wait to snatch them from Qiao Dusk's hands and eat them clean.
"Duel, Joe, Twilight!"
Xu Ruoou stretched out his slender jade fingers, trying to restrain it from shaking too much.
"Don't make a fuss, you can't eat it. ”
Qiao Twilight wanted to accompany her for a while, but as soon as his eyes fell on Xu Ruoou's wrist, he was in no mood.
On his white wrists, the two red circles of scars that snaked like two centipedes connected to each other stimulated his vision, making him unbearable to look at them.
The self-blame for himself is getting deeper and deeper, if he can find Xu Ruoou earlier.
If he didn't go to socialize that day, but went home with Xu Ruoou.
If he hadn't despised Du Hao, he would have sent a few more bodyguards to follow Xu Ruoou......
There are too many ifs, but they are all hindsights, and they don't help at all.
"It's said that you don't have to blame yourself, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
Xu Ruoou followed Qiao Twilight's line of sight and saw his wrists, uncomfortably retracted them and covered them with the quilt, his eyes wandered left and right and refused to look at Qiao Twilight.
"Well, I don't blame myself. ”
Qiao Twilight also lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in her heart, and coaxed along with her words.
"You!"
Xu Ruoou was extremely angry, but she didn't say anything other bad, and a sense of powerlessness burst out from the bottom of her heart, making her tired.
The physical torture in the past three days did not make Xu Ruoou unbearable, but the mental torture was the most terrible, she had been pretending to be well-behaved and optimistic since she saw Qiao Twilight, pretending that it was just a small accident.
Even if it was Mother Xu who accompanied her last night, she didn't cry about her fear, grievances and worries.
But now, mental exhaustion makes her not want to pretend anymore, obviously she is the victim, she is the person who needs the most comfort from others, why should she keep comforting others like this?
"I will definitely find out about this matter and give you an explanation, so that you can recuperate with peace of mind. ”
Qiao Twilight sat on the edge of the bed, carefully avoiding Xu Ruoou's wounds, and gently hugged her.
"I promise you, I'm going to make everyone who hurts you unbearable, okay?"
The sound was too gentle, like a lullaby that I often listened to as a child, with a hypnotic effect, Xu Ruoou answered softly, and the body that had been tense slowly relaxed, and fell asleep deeply.
Joe Twilight...... I like you so much!"
The ghost blows the lamp
