Chapter 17: I Want to See the Stars

Putting away the documents in his hand, Huo Jingyuan glanced at her lap, "When will you be discharged from the hospital?" ”

Qiao Ruoqing was still thinking about Shi Shi, and when she heard Huo Jingyuan's words coldly, when she raised her head, she saw a pair of men's eyes staring at her, and her eyes were extremely clear.

Looking at his legs again, Qiao Ruoqing said, "Wait a little longer, there are some things I haven't arranged yet." ”

Huo Jingyuan raised his eyebrows.

It seems that Qiao Ruoqing has been getting more and more thoughtful recently, in order to protect herself, she asked to stay in the hospital for a few more days, and she also knew how to fight back, and now she will arrange things?

Yes, a good start.

Standing up from the chair, Huo Jingyuan said, "Okay, I'll ......"

Before the word "arrangement" could be uttered, there was a sudden knock at the door.

In the past, the person who opened the door was Qiao Ruoqing, so this time she was about to open her mouth subconsciously, but as soon as her mouth opened, she felt that something was wrong.

Now that Huo Jingyuan is here, the people who take care of her are all arranged by Huo Jingyuan, it seems that Huo Jingyuan is more like the master.

So, she looked over to Huo Jingyuan.

As soon as his gaze fell on Huo Jingyuan's body, the man's deep voice had already sounded: "Enter." ”

Immediately, the door was opened, and Xu Wen walked in.

After saying hello to Huo Jingyuan, Xu Wen looked at Qiao Ruoqing with some apologies, "Miss Qiao, I may have to ask you for a leave tonight...... I just got a call that my son is sick and I have to go back......"

Qiao Ruoqing clearly saw that a thin layer of sweat had appeared on Xu Wen's forehead.

She heard Xu Wen say that her home is far away, and she usually doesn't have much time to go back, and she has a son at home, who is helped by her mother-in-law, and she rarely meets.

After she was hospitalized, Xu Wen had always been taking care of her, conscientious, diligent, and never said a word of displeasure, but this time there was really something, Qiao Ruoqing didn't think about it, and responded directly: "It's okay, Sister Wen, you go back." ”

Xu Wen hurriedly bowed to her, "Thank you, Miss Qiao......"

"Don't be so polite, go back and see the child." Qiao Ruoqing urged softly.

Xu Wen thanked her several times in succession, and then turned to leave.

It wasn't until the door of the ward was closed that Huo Jingyuan, who had not spoken, spoke: "What should you do?" ”

Qiao Ruoqing was stunned by the question, and replied blankly: "Huh? ”

"......" Huo Jingyuan glanced at her, and then looked at the time, "It's only eight o'clock, are you going to sleep?" ”

"No, I didn't go to bed until after 10 o'clock." Qiao Ruoqing replied very honestly.

Huo Jingyuan stopped talking, and his eyes seemed to be on Qiao Ruoqing's body, staring at her all the time.

Qiao Ruoqing didn't know what Huo Jingyuan meant by that, so she stared at him like that.

After staring at each other for a while, Qiao Ruoqing couldn't hold back first, and asked weakly, "Brother Huo, is there anything else?" ”

Huo Jingyuan touched his eyebrows with his hand.

How could he have that kind of thought before? How do you think this girl is smart?

"You let Xu Wen go, it's convenient to be alone?" He reminded.

Only then did Qiao Ruoqing understand what Huo Jingyuan meant by what he said just now, and she was immediately stupid.

Yes, Xu Wen has always been the only one who takes care of her, and now that Xu Wen is gone, what should she do if she wants to go to the toilet or something? Although my legs and feet are better, I still need someone to help.

Sighing silently, Huo Jingyuan sat back in his chair.

Qiao Ruoqing was a little puzzled, and looked at him, "Brother Huo, aren't you going back?" ”

"There's still some work to be done." As he spoke, the man lifted his eyelids again, "Something called me." ”

Then he returned to his working state, not squinting, and extremely serious.

Qiao Ruoqing didn't know what to say for a while.

Wasn't he just ready to go? Why is it ...... now?

Could it be that I was afraid of my own inconvenience, so I specially stayed, right?

As soon as this idea popped up in her mind, Qiao Ruoqing vetoed it herself.

This idea of hers is also too crazy, how could Huo Jingyuan stay because of her?

Maybe he just suddenly remembered that he still had something to do, and he was too embarrassed to take it back to do, so he stayed.

Thinking like this, Qiao Ruoqing was a lot more down-to-earth.

When I turned my head, I saw the tall magnolia tree outside the window.

It was already night, and the street lamps were shining on the magnolia trees, and the edges of the turquoise leaves shone with a hint of light.

Her leg has slowly improved, the cast was just removed two days ago, Xu Wen will take her out for a walk during the day, also to help her recover.

But she hadn't gone out at night.

In her last life, she was imprisoned until she died, she hadn't seen the moon for several years, she hadn't seen the starry sky, and it had been more than a month since she was reborn, and she didn't have the opportunity to see it.

I wonder if the current night sky is still as beautiful as I remember?

Qiao Ruoqing sighed slightly and lowered her eyelids.

Huo Jingyuan, who was on the chair, heard the slight sigh, looked over here, and saw the girl sitting on the bed with a lonely face.

Lonely for two seconds, he turned his head to look out the window, as if his eyes were about to penetrate the magnolia tree.

"Want to get out?" Huo Jingyuan asked.

Qiao Ruoqing thought that Huo Jingyuan was still concentrating on his work, so she was a little surprised when she heard his voice, and turned her head suddenly, and saw that the man was staring at her.

She nodded, and then said, "I want to see the stars." ”

Huo Jingyuan looked at her legs.

The plaster has been removed, and I heard Xu Wen say that when she went out, she would be pushed into the park of the hospital in a wheelchair and then accompanied her to practice walking.

But that's a bit of a problem.

Putting the laptop aside, Huo Jingyuan got up and walked over.

Qiao Ruoqing understood what he meant, and reached out to pull the wheelchair, but before his hand touched the armrest of the wheelchair, the person had already been lifted up by Huo Jingyuan.

She thought that Huo Jingyuan would pick her up and put her in a wheelchair like last time, but she didn't expect that after picking her up from the bed, Huo Jingyuan didn't have the slightest intention of staying, and walked towards the door with a step.

Qiao Ruoqing subconsciously hugged Huo Jingyuan's chair and blinked, "Brother Huo, I'll just be in a wheelchair......"

Her voice was a little low.

I don't know if Huo Jingyuan didn't hear her words, in short, he didn't pay attention to her.

Huo Jingyuan just carried Qiao Ruoqing out of the ward, entered the elevator, and then went to the park.

Looking up, he seemed dissatisfied, and raised his feet and walked outside again.

Because there were many people outside the ward, Qiao Ruoqing was afraid of being seen, and she was a little embarrassed, so she kept her head down, and finally felt that Huo Jingyuan had stopped, and just raised her head, but Huo Jingyuan left again.

She looked around, it was a park.

I suddenly felt lost in my heart.

Huo Jingyuan must have thought she was troublesome, so he symbolically took her out for a while, and now he wanted to send her back to the ward.

She clearly said that she could come out in a wheelchair......

She bit her lip and looked down and grumbled inwardly.

According to the route just now, you can enter the elevator in less than two minutes, but this time, after walking for a while, Huo Jingyuan's steps did not stop.

Not only that, but it seems to be getting noisier and louder.

Qiao Ruoqing felt strange, turned her head to look, and at this look, she found that Huo Jingyuan had already carried her to the entrance of the hospital.

What's the situation? Why did you still come to the entrance of the hospital?

"Brother Huo, I ......"

Before he finished speaking, Huo Jingyuan had already bent over and put her in the back seat of the Porsche.

Fasten her seatbelt, and before she could react, the man had already gotten into the car and started the car.

Qiao Ruoqing was even more confused.

Where is this going?

Huo Jingyuan drove the car, glanced in the rearview mirror, and saw the girl looking at herself with wide eyes, and she looked extremely dazed.

Turning his hand on the steering wheel, he said, "If you're sleepy, you can sleep for a while." ”

"...... "How can she sleep?"

Looking around at the surrounding road, Qiao Ruoqing became more and more uneasy.

Where the hell is this going? Why is the road getting further and further averse?

She just wanted to go to the park of the hospital to see the stars, Huo Jingyuan wouldn't feel troublesome just because of her words, and he wanted to throw her away, right?

"Brother Huo, we ...... Where are you going? Thinking that it was not a way to go on like this, Qiao Ruoqing asked weakly in a low voice.

Huo Jingyuan glanced at the rearview mirror again, but did not speak.

Don't look at Qiao Ruoqing's dead face when she chased Song Mingyuan before, but after going through so many things, she is much thinner now, not to mention that Huo Jingyuan is still her benefactor.

So after asking again, seeing that Huo Jingyuan didn't mean to answer her at all, she didn't ask, so as not to be embarrassed.

She tightened her seat belt tightly in her hand while keeping an eye on her surroundings.

It looks like a suburb here, there are not even a few street lights on the road, and the only thing Qiao Ruoqing can tell is that it seems to be going up the mountain.

Good and decent, what are you doing up the mountain?

She was still thinking that the car had stopped.

She quickly looked out the window, and they were really on the mountain, and it was pitch black, except for the light of the moon.

"Brother Huo, we ......"

Before she finished speaking, she heard a slight noise above her head, and she subconsciously looked up, the Porsche hood was open, and there was a bright sky overhead, and the moon was just caught by a thin layer of clouds at this time, revealing a weak light, softer than usual.

Qiao Ruoqing was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but pursed the corners of her lips.

It's beautiful.

Sure enough, the scene I saw at night was very different from what I saw during the day.

Huo Jingyuan was in the driver's seat, and he could see Qiao Ruoqing's expression clearly from the rearview mirror.

"You like to look at the stars?" He asked.

Qiao Ruoqing nodded, and her voice was a little low: "You won't know how much I yearn for this starry sky." ”

During the years she was imprisoned, she saw no light of day in the dungeon, and she almost forgot what the outside world was like.

When she was dying of hunger, she lay on the floor of the dungeon, her hands grasping the ground with what little strength she had left, but she couldn't make a sound.

His voice was hoarse, but there was no response at all.

No one cared about her, she lost all her use value, and even Qiao Ruolan and Cai Meixian felt that it was no longer interesting to torture her, so they left her to fend for herself.

She never imagined that she would be able to look at this bright starry sky in peace like now.

"It's been a long time, it's been a long time since I've seen the stars like this, it's beautiful."
