Chapter 23: Potions
The next day, Chen Xiao woke up in a hospital bed.
Mentally exhausted, pale, dripping from his wrists, and his throat so dry that it hurt as if it had been slid through glass.
"Mr. Chen, you're awake."
The little nurse noticed Chen Xiao's expression, and hurriedly scooped water with a spoon and handed it to his mouth.
"Thank you."
Chen Xiao spoke hoarsely, he recognized this little nurse, and she took care of him when she was injured last time.
It's just that I didn't expect to move in again within a month.
Except for muscle soreness and some body surface injuries, Chen Xiao didn't find any discomfort again, but he wouldn't forget about last night's incident so simply, that curse made his heart ache for a while, and he definitely had to find an opportunity to solve this matter as soon as possible.
And......
Thinking back to last night's scene with palpitations, Chen Xiao was extremely scared, and he almost killed Zhou Yuxuan.
That desire, that feeling of pursuing art...... Now Chen Xiao is extremely clear, and it appears naturally, as if this sick personality is its own.
After spending so much time with the original owner, this is the second time he has occupied his body.
The first time happened at the Anxin Hotel.
Chen Xiao gradually realized that the normal body is controlled by himself, but once the body encounters trauma, or his spirit is hurt, the shackles that imprisoned the original owner will be broken free and he will be escaped.
"By the way, what about the captain? How is she doing now? ”
Suddenly startled, Chen Xiao hurriedly asked.
"You're asking Miss Zhou, right?" The little nurse pursed her lips and smiled, "Miss Zhou's injuries last night were probably serious injuries of the second degree, but she has no major problems after taking the life essence, and she only needs to recuperate for a few days." ”
"Life Essence ......"
Chen Xiao frowned slightly, there was such a thing: "What is the essence of life, is it expensive?" ”
The little nurse explained: "Life essence is a special medicine that can quickly repair one's own injuries, and it is rumored that the highest level of life essence can be restored as long as there is still one breath." ”
"The normal price of the life essence liquid circulating on the market is about 100,000, and ten grams a piece is the most frequent medical product for the awakened to be used when they fight, but because of the high price and scarcity of materials, even the official awakened few people have it."
"Actually, your injuries last night were much more serious than Miss Zhou's, and she specially took out two life essence solutions for you to treat, so now you don't feel any obvious injuries."
Chen Xiao nodded a little stunned.
He actually felt that Zhou Yuxuan was by no means an ordinary family, which he was vaguely aware of when he usually came into contact with it, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated the strength of the other party's family......
"Okay, thank you, where is she now? I want to meet her. ”
"In the room next to you, I'll deal with the medical equipment first, if you need anything, just press this button!"
"Okay, thanks."
"You're welcome."
Holding the medicine tray, the little nurse smiled goodbye.
——
After sorting out her thoughts, Chen Xiao came to the next ward and gently slammed the door.
"It's me, Chen Xiao."
"Come in."
A thin voice came through the door.
Chen Xiao pushed the door in, only to see Zhou Yuxuan lying on the hospital bed, with a fair and delicate melon seed face with a pale color, a loose hospital gown to cover her figure, and a strand of soft hair on her forehead hanging down weakly.
At this time, she was a little more weak, like a kitten waiting for pity...... Chen Xiao's originally calm heart began to throb inexplicably again.
Staring at Chen Xiao who walked in, the corners of Zhou Yuxuan's mouth curled slightly: "You are in such good health, can you walk so quickly?" ”
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Chen Xiao said: "I know that it is because of the essence of life, and I owe you two million in one night, and I feel lost." ”
Zhou Yuxuan rolled her eyes: "I didn't let you pay it back, knowing that you are a poor bastard." ”
Chen Xiao grinned: "You are an investment, and when I become strong in the future, I will repay you." ”
"It's not uncommon......
Zhou Yuxuan pursed her lips tightly and made a cold expression of a rich daughter.
"Captain, I want to ask you a question."
"You ask."
Zhou Yuxuan looked straight at Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao looked at her and said, "Last night, why did you risk death to save me?" ”
This is a question that he has been thinking about and thinks is crucial.
Obviously just an ordinary friend, why can he do such a thing as sacrificing himself for others?
Asking herself, Chen Xiao felt that she couldn't do it.
Under his delicate and gentle smile was a cold and cold heart, he was very tired just to live alone, let alone save others.
This kind of thing has to be left to Superman.
In Chen Xiao's opinion, this is a very complex and difficult problem, but Zhou Yuxuan was just stunned, and couldn't help laughing: "Is it just this kind of problem?" ”
She stretched out her slender index finger and said seriously: "First of all, I saved you without danger, I know that I will not die." ”
"Secondly, you are my subordinate, I am your captain, it is normal to help as much as you can on the battlefield, this is the care of the superior to the subordinate."
Chen Xiao looked at her puzzled: "Is that all?" ”
"Or else?"
Zhou Yuxuan's willow eyebrows did not frown, and she immediately reacted, her beautiful big eyes looked directly at Chen Xiao, bent down close to him, and said jokingly: "Do you think that I like you?" ”
“……”
The two were so close that Chen Xiao could clearly see herself reflected in the woman's pupils.
Standing up, the throbbing in Chen Xiao's heart became more and more obvious: "Captain, I still have one more thing to report to you. ”
"You say."
Chen Xiao: "There is a parenthesis at the corner of your mouth when you smile. ”
Zhou Yuxuan was stunned, then her eyes widened, and she said angrily: "What brackets?" It's dimples! I advise you that it would be better to change this bad adjective. ”
"Hahaha, okay."
Chen Xiao looked at her with a soft meaning in her eyes.
Zhou Yuxuan pursed her lips, lowered her head silently, and climbed a trace of pink on her lovely ears.
"Captain."
At this time, Chen Sheng's voice came from outside.
"Come in."
Zhou Yuxuan breathed a sigh of relief and spoke in a cold tone.
Chen Xiao's expression also changed to calm down.
Chen Sheng walked in with a document, he glanced at Chen Xiao, nodded, took out the document, and said, "Captain, this is a post-war report, you see if there is anything that needs to be revised, and we can submit it after confirmation." ”
"Okay."
Zhou Yuxuan took the document and bowed her head to review it carefully.
At this time, Chen Xiao remembered another incident last night.
"Captain, I feel, Shi Weifeng...... That is, the evil awakened one, he should not be dead. ”
As soon as the words came out, there was no more charm in the ward.
