Chapter 17: A Little Accident
After nightfall, it actually rained.
When the time was about to pass nine o'clock, Hua Tao couldn't help but ask, "How are we going to spend tonight?" β
There's no need to travel overnight, right? Sleep is not enough to age quickly.
Fortunately, Xia Sheng didn't have the idea of sleeping in the open air, looked at the navigation, and said, "Wait a minute, let's find a hotel to rest for one night." β
With Xia Dashao's words, Hua Tao was relieved.
After getting off the highway, they found a hotel nearby.
The hotel is not big, the faΓ§ade is a bit dilapidated, but the business is good, and there is a long line of cars parked in front of the door.
Maybe it's because of the rainy weather, so there are more guests.
Hua Tao couldn't help but worry, afraid to wait for the front desk to say that there was only one big bed room left.
Did you live or didn't you live at that time?
Xia Sheng parked the car, unbuckled his seat belt and turned his head to her, "You sit still, wait for me." β
Hua Tao thought that he was going to the front desk to ask if there was a room first, so he stayed in the car obediently, but he didn't expect Xia Sheng to go to the trunk of the car to get his luggage and umbrella.
In fact, when you get out of the car and come to the door of the hotel, it is only five or six steps, and you can also pass it by trotting.
The light from the hotel fell behind Xia Sheng, and with the light on his back, he bent down and knocked on the car window, signaling her to open the door and come out.
The warm yellow light fell on his handsome face, and the rain wet his forehead, and his eyebrows drooped obediently. Through the car window, she saw the tiredness on his face.
And no wonder, drove for a whole day.
Hua Tao wore a long skirt, and in order not to splash the muddy water on the ground, she lifted the hem of her skirt and walked a little carefully. He followed her pace and slowed down to wait for her.
The small single umbrella quietly turned sideways to her.
The front desk attendant was applying nail polish, looked up at them, his eyes fell on Xia Sheng's face, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
"Hello," Xia Sheng put away his umbrella and smiled gently, "We want two orders." β
The waiter came back to his senses, his cheeks were crimson, and he hurriedly put away his nail polish, said "wait a minute", and then began to check the computer.
Hua Tao prayed silently in her heart, there must be a house, a house!
The waiter raised his head again and said, "Yes, please take out your ID card and let me register." β
Hua Tao exhaled, and the whole person relaxed.
Xia Sheng seemed to sense her emotions, hooked the corners of his mouth, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Very disappointed?" β
"What?" Hua Tao turned her head to look at him.
Xia Sheng handed the ID card to the waiter, and then squeezed his eyebrows at Hua Tao: "Ten years of cultivation can cross the same boat, and a hundred years of cultivation can sleep together, you still have to continue to cultivate." β
"Neuropathy." Hua Tao has really never seen a man as arrogant and narcissistic as him.
I thought women all over the world wanted to sleep with him.
The waiter quickly made the room card.
"Your rooms are 505 and 506, just turn right after getting out of the elevator." The waiter took the opportunity to look at Xia Sheng a few more times.
"Thanks." Xia Sheng smiled at the waiter, his narrow peach blossom eyes bent down, and his eyes flowed with emerald color, beautiful and charming.
The waiter covered his mouth, looking excited, looking like he was about to faint.
The rain outside was getting heavier, and the wind was also strong, and it was cool. Hua Tao touched her bare shoulders and walked briskly to the elevator entrance.
She admits that Xia Dashao is indeed very handsome and dashing, but she doesn't have to discharge every person of the opposite sex she meets.
What a waste of electricity.
Xia Sheng followed behind her, carrying luggage in one hand and umbrella in the other. Hua Tao wanted to help him share a little, but was refused.
"That's what a little thing is, and I can still pick you up like that." Xia Sheng raised his eyebrows and said unashamedly.
The elevator door opened, and the two walked in.
Xia Sheng leaned against the elevator wall, always tired between his eyebrows.
Hua Tao actually felt tired, although she had been sitting and didn't do anything, but she just had a feeling of exhausting her physical strength.
The elevator quickly reached the fifth floor, and after a clanging sound, it did not open for a long time.
"What's going on?" Hua Tao reached out and pressed the door button, but the elevator still didn't respond.
No way? Faulty? Hua Tao subconsciously turned her head to look at Xia Sheng.
Xia Sheng put the luggage on the ground, walked to the door and pressed the door button, but there was no movement. He thought for a moment and pressed the first floor.
The elevator shook violently suddenly.
The two of them were startled at the same time, and before they could react to what was going on, they felt a wave of dizziness - the elevator was falling rapidly!
Hua Tao stumbled in the sudden weightlessness, instantly lost her center of gravity, and fell straight back.
"Be careful!" She heard a low cry, with a hint of urgency, and then her body fell into a warm, thick embrace.
However, she didn't stand firm after all, and Xia Sheng was obviously the same, and the two hugged each other and fell into a ball.
The elevator shook violently a little more and finally stopped on the first floor.
Hua Tao came back to her senses for a while, cold sweat penetrated her dress, and her hands and feet were still cold.
"Oh my God, it's scared." Hua Tao was shocked, and then she found that she was pressed on Xia Sheng and treated him as a meat pad.
Xia Sheng's face was pale, and his good-looking eyebrows were slightly tightened, revealing a painful look.
"What's wrong with you?" Hua Tao hurriedly got off him, "Is there something hurt?" β
When the two fell, Xia Sheng protected her with his body and held her firmly in his arms, while he endured all the impact.
"It's fine." Xia Sheng shook his head and slowly propped himself up, "You go and try if the elevator door can be opened, if you can't, ring the alarm bell." β
Hua Tao encountered such a thing for the first time, and until now she was still confused, Xia Sheng asked her to do whatever she wanted, and immediately walked to the elevator and poked the door button.
"Ding", this time the elevator door opened normally.
"It's open, it's open!" Hua Tao was overjoyed, turned her head and said excitedly to Xia Sheng, "Let's go out quickly!" β
When Xia Sheng stood up, his body shook slightly, as if he didn't stand firmly.
Hua Tao suddenly felt a chuckle in her heart, and immediately stepped forward to help him.
"Take your luggage." Xia Sheng raised his right hand and pressed it behind his head, squinting his eyes in pain.
At this time, the waiter ran over, and the movement just now was too big, and she was also frightened.
"Y-Are you alright?" The waiter helped take out the luggage, and looked at Xia Sheng, who was pale, with concern.
Xia Sheng shook his head, still the same sentence: "It's okay." "It's just obviously weak.
"Did you hit your head?" Hua Tao leaned over and carefully examined the back of his head, and it was really a big bulge.
"We have medicine to dispel stasis, I'll send it to you later." The waiter hurriedly said.
"Don't bother, I'll be fine after a good night's sleep." Xia Sheng nodded.
"Why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up?" Hua Tao's heart is not as big as Xia Dashao, get some sleep? How many people who have been concussed can't wake up from a long sleep as soon as they fall asleep.
Ahh
Hua Tao was frightened by her sudden assumption, and strengthened her determination to go to the hospital.
The waiter looked embarrassed: "There is no hospital around here......"
"Where's that?" When Hua Tao got out of the car, she saw how desolate it was, but she forgot it in a hurry.
The waiter said, "You have to go to the prefecture, but it takes more than an hour to drive from here." β
Xia Sheng hooked Hua Tao's shoulder, and said with a smile in a good posture of the two brothers: "Don't go to the hospital, it's okay, I'm copper-skinned and iron-clad, and I can't break it." β
Hua Tao was hugged by him in such an intimate posture and smelled the faint mint fragrance on his body.
It's not a pure mint flavor, it's mixed with Xia Sheng's unique breath, anyway...... It smells good.
Hua Tao was worried about him wholeheartedly, and didn't care about being hooked on her shoulders, and said a little worriedly: "Let's go check it out, I can't see anything now, but what if I get stupid in the future?" β
Xia Sheng was amused by her: "I have an IQ of one hundred and eighteen, and there are still ninety left after a five-fold discount, which is enough." β
Hua Tao wanted to say something, but Xia Sheng grabbed her mouth and said, "Don't just worry about my head, my hand is also injured." β
"What's wrong with the hand?" Hua Tao asked hurriedly.
Xia Sheng handed his hand to her.
A large piece of skin was broken in the palm of his left hand, and the flesh looked blurry.
The waiter had already found the medicine box at the moment when they were talking, and after seeing the scratch on Xia Sheng's palm, he was startled: "Hurry up and deal with the wound, otherwise it will be easy to get infected." β
Hua Tao took the medicine box and said to the waiter, "Please check if there are any standard doubles now." β
Xia Sheng looked at her suspiciously, and raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to make a promise?" β
Hua Tao ignored him and handed the two room cards to the waiter: "If there is a standard double, help us change it." β
"I remember yes, you wait."
Xia Sheng glanced at Hua Tao and found that her expression was very serious, so he couldn't help laughing and quipped: "Little Red Riding Hood is not afraid of the big bad wolf at this time?" β
Little Red Riding Hood said calmly: "If your paw is injured, settle down." I forgot to tell you that I've learned a few ways. β
"Tai Chi?" Xia Sheng laughed.
Hua Tao: "......"
The waiter handed the newly allocated room card to Hua Tao: "I have arranged room 302 for you, go up the stairs over there." β
Hua Tao bent down to get the luggage, but Xia Sheng moved faster, and he had easily lifted the two travel bags: "You just need to take the umbrella and the medicine box." β
The two went up to the third floor, found room 302, and opened the door to enter.
After all, it is a small hotel, said to be a standard double, but it is actually very small, and after putting two beds, there is basically no room to move around.
Putting down her luggage, Xia Sheng went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then sat on the bed and asked Hua Tao to treat her wounds.
"What's that look on your face? This palm looks like it's mine, right? Xia Sheng looked at Hua Tao's frowning appearance and couldn't help but smile.
"No, I just think the wound is too disgusting."
Xia Sheng: "......"
Hua Tao dipped a cotton swab in Yunnan Baiyao and gently applied it to his wound, blowing gently on his palm as she applied it.
"Does it hurt?" Hua Tao looked up at him.
"It's a little itchy." Xia Sheng also looked at her, her jade-colored eyes were clear and clear, like rare jade, and there seemed to be affectionate flow in the meantime.
