"Shirashino, Shirashio!" A low, tense voice seemed to break through layers of clouds and penetrate her buzzing eardrums.

Bai Xiao opened her eyes with difficulty, enduring the stinging pain and sourness of being choked by the smoke, the red flame burned the black cloth on her eyes, and faintly, she seemed to see a slender figure coming out of the flames, and then the tape on her mouth was torn off, and her eyes were seen again.

She leaned against a dark blue cashmere coat and felt like she was being embraced into a wide, hot embrace.

The slender hand wearing leather gloves patted her cheeks that were burned red, "Bai Xiao, wake up, wake up!" ”

The bangs on Bai Xiao's forehead were soaked with sweat, and the fire around her made her skin ache, she lifted her heavy eyelids in confusion, she couldn't see his face clearly in the thick smoke, but she slowly raised her hand following his voice, and when her fingertips touched his jaw, the corners of her mouth twitched.

In her chaotic brain, she suddenly remembered a scene from a long, long time ago.

She was eight years old that year, and a girl in the class crossed her waist and tilted her chin: "I want to be like the Zixia Fairy, the person I love must be a hero of the world, he wants to be the first in the world, unparalleled in the world, one day he will wear a golden armor robe, hold a peerless sword, and step on the seven-colored clouds to marry me!" ”

She later met a boy who thought she had guessed the whole story, but she didn't guess that it would end like this.

She was vigorously picked up, Bai Xiao leaned on his arms, looking at his three-dimensional side face in the firelight in a daze, but her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she heard an anxious roar from afar: "Quickly put out the fire!" Hurry up and put out the fire! ”

Before she lost consciousness completely, she seemed to see a thick, fire-engulfed cylinder fall from the side......

————————————

Little White ...... Little White ......

The child's immature sobbing sound lingered in her ears for a long time, and a soft touch hit her dry palm.

The fire lingered in her mind, and the sticks that were getting closer and closer, and the big hands that rested on her waist.

Shirahiro's eyes snapped open, her vision was dotted with too fast, and then it darkened again, and she was temporarily blind.

"Miss Bai, are you awake?" A delicate hand dangled in front of her eyes.

Bai Xiao turned her head and saw the nurse looking at her with a smile.

"I ......" opened Bai Xiao only to realize that his throat was wrong, very hoarse, and a tingling pain came from his throat when he spoke.

The nurse explained: "Miss Bai, you only have a mild inhalation choking injury, nothing serious, and your throat will recover in a few days." ”

Bai Xiao had already sat down from the bed, supporting his weak body, "Is there anyone who sent it with me?" ”

"Yes," the nurse said as she adjusted the infusion tube, "but Mr. Yu lives in the VIP ward, on the seventh floor. ”

The nurse just wanted to rub alcohol on the back of Bai Xiao's hand, but when she turned around, she found that there was no one on the bed, "What about people?" ”

——————————

The thin hospital gown, pulling a cotton drag, with a mantle, and a pale face, this is what Bai Xiao saw himself in the mirror of the elevator.

But what she just wanted to verify as soon as possible was just a guess in her heart - was it Yu Shaoting who saved her this time?

The seventh floor of the hospital is a high-level VIP ward specially set up for wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials, and the environment is much more elegant than the following floors.

As soon as he came out of the elevator, Bai Xiao heard a squeamish female voice coming from the ward next to him: "I just want to eat watermelon, Pei Qiyou, help me buy it!" ”

Bai Xiao slowed down, but still didn't hold back, and looked through the crack in the door-

Yu Yiwei was also wearing a hospital gown, sitting cross-legged on the bed, with a bandage wrapped around her neck in her left hand, looking up at the side of the bed with an aggrieved face, Bai Xiao only saw a pair of men's leather shoes, and then Yu Yiwei's voice was crying: "I'm a patient, can't you accommodate me?" ”

"The doctor has repeatedly told you not to touch spicy and irritating food, have you forgotten?"

Bai Xiao went to listen to how Yu Yiwei continued to be coquettish, and asked Yu Shaoting about the location of the ward at the nurse's station, and went directly.

He stood outside the door of the ward for a moment, knocked on the door twice, and then pushed in.

The first thing Bai Xiao gave to the man on the hospital bed after he went in.

Yu Shaoting's right arm was wrapped in a bandage, sandwiched between two wooden boards, his left hand was resting on the head of the bed with his left hand behind his head, his lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were closed, the curtains were opened, the bright sunlight shone in on his face, looking decadent but handsome, she stood at the door and couldn't bear to disturb him.

The door of the bathroom suddenly opened, Bai Xiao turned around, and Yu Jingxi was coming out of it with a small basket filled with strawberries.

"Xiaobai, are you awake?" Yu Jingxi saw her and immediately pounced, her wet little hands grabbed her and refused to let go, and pulled her little face aggrievedly: "Do you know how worried I am?" I'm afraid you won't wake up. ”

Bai Xiao squatted down and wrapped his cool little chubby hand in his palm, "It's okay anymore, don't cry." ”

Sensing that a gaze fell on him, Bai Xiao looked up, and Yu Shaoting on the bed had woken up at some point, looking at her steadily.

She let go of Yu Jingxi and stood up and looked back at him quietly.

Yu Jingxi ran to the coffee table, put down the small taoluo, opened the thermos cup, and explained like a little old man while pouring crucian carp and white radish soup: "Dad, you can't say that you are not hungry anymore, grandma said that she wants me to take care of you here." I won't give you fish or turnips, but you have to drink the soup. ”

Bai Xiao watched Yu Jingxi carry the bowl to the hospital bed in a decent manner, still blowing hot air, and carefully scooped a spoonful and handed it to Yu Shaoting.

"I said that I was not hungry, and I wanted to drink it myself." Yu Shaoting simply closed his eyes and ignored the small spoon beside his mouth.

It's the first time I've seen Yu Shaoting Bai Xiao with such an awkward and temperament, and it's simply an enlarged version of Yu Jingxi when he's angry.

Yu Jingxi also raised his little arm on tiptoe, trying to make Yu Shaoting drink a spoonful of fish soup: "Dad, it's delicious, do you want to try it." ”

Yu Shaoting frowned, and opened his eyes a little impatiently, but what he saw was Bai Xiao holding a bowl and a spoon, and he choked back the words that came to his mouth.

Yu Jingxi was already sitting on the sofa and eating happily with the basket of strawberries.

Bai Xiao scooped a small spoonful of fish soup, cooled it for a while, and it was estimated that it was not hot before sending it to his mouth: "Drink it." ”

Yu Shaoting didn't open his mouth, just stared at her for a moment.

Bai Xiao was a little uncomfortable by him, put the spoon back in the bowl, lowered her head and stirred it a few times, and then scooped another spoonful and sent it over, finding that his dark eyes still hadn't moved away from her face, she pursed the corners of her lips, and said lightly angrily: "Don't drink it." ”

She made a gesture to get up, but his left hand was pressed against the bed.

Bai Xiao looked back at him in surprise, Yu Shaoting's face was as usual, but he didn't let go of her, but increased his hand to clench her slender fingers. Bai Xiao came out of the VIP ward, rubbing the back of his left hand a little absentmindedly, as if there was still Yu Shaoting's temperature on it.

Back in his hospital room, Bai Xiao found a paper bag on the bedtable containing dishes from the Imperial Fortune Building.

She didn't open it and fed it directly to the trash can.

——————————

Early the next morning, Bai Xiao's ward ushered in Ye Hehuan, who was wearing sunglasses and dragging a trolley suitcase.

Ye Hehuan didn't say anything, silently fiddled with the trash can, and then walked away with the bag of Yufulou's vegetables as if he had stepped on Hot Wheels.

With Bai Xiao's understanding of her temper, she could probably guess what Ye Hehuan was doing, but it was rare that she didn't stop it.

When she woke up after falling asleep, Ye Hehuan was humming a song and came back from outside.

"In such a good mood?" Bai Xiao couldn't help but joke.

Ye Hehuan triumphantly placed a pillow on Bai Xiao's back, "I cleaned up the scum on behalf of the moon, and women like you are grateful to me." ”

Bai Xiao looked at her, Ye Hehuan cleared his throat, "Actually, it's nothing, he was in a meeting when I went up, and in front of those employees under him, I sprinkled all the dishes on him, but he didn't say anything, and I guess I know how shameless he is to do to you." ”

In the afternoon, the police sent someone over, and all the kidnappers had been arrested yesterday, so Bai Xiao made a confession.

Ye Hehuan looked at Bai Xiao, who was sitting in front of the window basking in the sun, while cutting apples: "What are you going to do now?" ”

After learning about the heinous things Pei Qiyou did to Bai Xiao, Ye Hehuan also blamed himself, how could he have been deceived by Pei Qiyou's hypocritical mask in the first place? He didn't sincerely change his mind at all, he just wanted to tie Bai Xiao by his side and push her out of the house to convict her.

"What can be done, let it be." Bai Xiao didn't have too much tangled expression on his face, "When I was tied up and thrown into the fire, all the things that bothered me before suddenly became clear. In fact, it is not him that I can't let go, but the good years with him. Because I miss him too much, I always try my best to keep him, and I think that as long as I stay with him, all the beautiful thoughts in my heart have not become a thing of the past. ”

Bai Xiao leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes, as if whispering: "Actually, it's all in the past, he met his beloved girl again, divorced, I will start my life again, but without Pei Qiyou, I am still me, and life is still going on......"

In the sun, the corners of her eyes were wet, shimmering with a faint watery glow.

Outside the door of the hidden ward, Pei Qiyou's hand was still above the doorknob, and he turned around and left after a long time.

——————————

Bai Xiao stayed in the hospital for four days before being discharged.

During this period, she went to see Yu Shaoting, but many times she went to the door and turned back because there were other visiting guests inside.

But Yu Jingxi always ran to her, often saying in her ear, "My dad hasn't eaten lunch yet", "My dad has a hand injury and still has to work", or "Xiaobai, I haven't seen my dad be so good to any girl".

Several times when Bai Xiao passed by the nurses' station, he heard them discussing how the eldest lady in ward 7332 was tricky and willful, and then praised how considerate and tolerant the eldest lady's boyfriend was, and finally concluded that the woman's parents seemed to be very satisfied with this grandson-in-law when they came to visit the hospital.

——————————

The day after Bai Xiao returned to the Star Capital, he ushered in an uninvited guest, Yu Yiwei.

"Can you let me in?" Yu Yiwei smiled purely, with a delicate little face, it is difficult to be annoying at first glance.

But it doesn't seem that everyone will like it, at least Bai Xiao doesn't like this harmless little girl, she hasn't forgotten what Yu Yiwei said in the abandoned garage, although she was tied up and wrongly punished because of herself, but she still can't choose to be tolerant and forget psychologically.

Without waiting for Bai Xiao to agree, she had already taken off her shoes and entered uninvited, sat down on the sofa in the living room, and poured herself a glass of boiling water to drink.

Bai Xiao looked at the girl who was looking around with a bandage in one hand and a water cup in the other, and opened her mouth: "What are you looking for me?" ”

"I heard that you used to be Pei Qiyou's assistant?"

Bai Xiao didn't ink with her: "What do you want to say?" ”

Yu Yiwei didn't expect Bai Xiao to be so direct, she felt bored, and pursed the corners of her mouth: "Then I'll tell you directly, I'm Pei Qiyou's girlfriend now, and we will get engaged in a short time, you may not know my family background, my grandfather is ......."

"Does that have anything to do with me?" Shirahiro interrupted her suddenly.

Yu Yiwei was a little embarrassed, and then raised her chin slightly, "I hope you won't pester Pei Qiyou in the future." ”

Bai Xiao quietly met her arrogant eyes, just looked at her very quietly, calmly, without the slightest panic and weakness.

In the end, Yu Yiwei was first panicked by her, took out four or five thick envelopes from her fancy big shoulder bag, and pushed them to Bai Xiao, "This is the salary that Secretary Zhang asked me to bring you, take a look, do you think it is enough?" ”

There were about 100,000 dollars in cash in that stack of envelopes.

Shirahiro reached for an envelope.

A wisp of contempt flashed in Yu Yiwei's eyes, revealing a look of "sure enough", but Bai Xiao's behavior next made her expression stiffen.

Bai Xiao just took seven thousand yuan from it and put the envelope back.

"You take the rest back." Bai Xiao got up, walked to the door and opened the security door: "I won't send you." ”

Maybe it was young and vigorous, Yu Yiwei's little face was red and white, and the frustration she had never had before made her ashamed, she stood up and looked at Bai Xiao from a distance, and said stubbornly: "I don't care what you did before, but since I appeared, I don't allow you to touch my man again!" ”

"It's useless for you to tell me this, you want Pei Qiyou to be able to control his lower body."

"You ......" Yu Yiwei was blocked and couldn't answer, and after calming down a little, she changed her tough attitude just now, and said in a low voice: "Everyone is a woman, why should women be embarrassed by women?" It's not just Pei Qiyou who is a man, can you give him to me? I didn't have a father since I was a child, my mother raised me alone, and I couldn't find sustenance all these years, so I had to travel everywhere, and finally met him......"

Yu Yiwei pursed her cherry lips and looked at Bai Xiao pitifully: "This time my uncle asked me to go back to China to worship my father, I believe it was my father who made arrangements in the dark, so that my encounter with him was not just a memory, so ...... Can you stop meddling with us? ”

"Your uncle?" Yu Yiwei said a lot, but Bai Xiao really listened to only one sentence. "Yes, my uncle asked me to return to China, you won't know about my uncle, right? He's your savior! Speaking of this, Yu Yiwei's spine straightened a lot: "If my uncle hadn't rushed to find me, he wouldn't have saved you by mistake." ”

What Yu Yiwei said later, when did she leave, Bai Xiao didn't know what to say, she sat on the sofa and her brain was a little confused.

When Ye Hehuan came back, he saw Bai Xiao sitting there stunned and didn't know what to think, just wanted to ask, but Bai Xiao got up and went back to the room to get the bag, and went out without looking back.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they take root and sprout bit by bit.

Similar face, lively and innocent character, always appeared in time when she was most embarrassed, Bai Xiao thought a lot when she ran downstairs, and she didn't dare to think about it later, she rushed to the hospital and rushed directly to the seventh floor, and when she pushed open the door of Yu Shaoting's ward, he was sitting on the bed eating dinner with his left hand, and his movements were very awkward and stiff.

Seeing her, Yu Shaoting's frowning brows relaxed, and the expression on his face eased, "Why did you come here at night?" ”

Bai Xiao pinched his bag and watched him eat awkwardly with his left hand, but he didn't go over to help him, and only said after a while: "Your niece looks quite similar to me." ”

"Oh, maybe a little." Yu Shaoting replied casually.

"Then why didn't you say it before?"

"It's okay, I'm telling you what my niece is doing?" The chopsticks in Yu Shaoting's hand paused, and he looked up: "What did you ask her to do?" ”
