BXBX NOVEL Chapter 66 - Alone
Ye QiuXue\'s lips had lost their color, and she appeared fragile.
However, upon seeing HuMing, her mind went blank, leaving her at a loss for words.
Her head gently leaned against HuMing\'s arm as he effortlessly lifted her.
HuMing gently carried her onto his back and made his way outside.
However, he decided against using the front door, as it would not be appropriate for others to witness the unfolding scene.
His expression turned fierce, and a glimpse of aggression flashed in his eyes.
Ye QiuXue couldn\'t muster the energy to engage in conversation with HuMing. Her face nuzzled against his back, and a comforting sensation washed over her, seeping through the fabric. Deep comfort enveloped Ye QiuXue\'s heart.
"Han HuMing..."
She gently whispered HuMing\'s name, her voice barely audible.
HuMing continued walking without pause. He replied in a gentle tone, his eyes focused straight ahead.
"President, we\'ll be at the hospital soon. Just hang in there a little longer."
HuMing could sense that the President was probably feeling faint due to not having eaten for a long time. However, she still needed to be checked at the hospital first.
Who would have thought Ye QiuXue would have to be checked before the old director?
Ye QiuXue\'s hands gently cradled his neck, finding solace in the very hold.
HuMing could feel the person\'s breathing behind him gradually becoming steady, as if deep asleep.
The dormitory lights shone brightly, and the commercial street bustled with people.
HuMing walked on the quieter path, gradually moving away from the noise.
...
Upon awakening, Ye QiuXue found herself gazing blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling.
She wrinkled her nose at the overbearing scent of disinfectant.
Ye QiuXue remembered being locked in the equipment room. Someone had deliberately targeted her to make a fool of her. That time, Ye QiuXue felt her consciousness being drained from her, and she even lost the strength to speak.
But just before she passed out, she had seen HuMing appear!
Ye QiuXue gazed up at the ceiling, lost in thought, but a sudden realization jolted her upright in bed.
She anxiously scanned her surroundings and noticed she was resting on a hospital bed, an intravenous drip connected to her hand.
\'Did I get rescued?\'
She pondered, yet that individual\'s vision in her thoughts grew more distinct.
In her dream, she saw HuMing open that door and rescue her.
But how could he possibly be there!?
She had never contacted him!
Ye QiuXue was now filled with confusion. Her curiosity piqued as she wondered about the true identity of her savior.
She glanced at the clock on the wall, realizing it was already past nine. It seems that she had been unconscious for over two hours.
Suddenly, voices came from outside the door.
"So, doctor, there aren\'t any major issues, right?"
"No, there aren\'t. She\'s exhausted from overworking. Also, she didn\'t replenish her energy for too long, resulting in unconsciousness. She will be fine after some rest."
"Thank you, doctor."
The person spoke with a tone of respect, displaying genuine concern for her well-being.
Ye QiuXue recognized the person\'s identity but couldn\'t fathom how he was able to find her.
The person pushed open the hospital room door, and when he saw her sitting up in bed, he was stunned for a moment before pursing his lips and placing his hands on his hips.
Seeing this, Ye QiuXue couldn\'t help but laugh.
She lightly covered her lips, and her slightly blushed cheeks revealed her steadily improving state.
"How can you still laugh? Do you know what you just went through?"
HuMing looked at her sulkily, unable to comprehend what she found so entertaining.
When he arrived at the equipment room, it was securely locked from the inside, indicating that someone had intentionally confined her there.
Yet, she still managed to laugh right now!
"I\'m sorry."
Ye QiuXue nodded apologetically, yet her smile remained intact.
HuMing wasn\'t sure what to do with this girl. She has always appeared cold and distant, so how could she suddenly act so silly?
Is this the same Ye QiuXue he knows?
HuMing placed a bowl of porridge in front of Ye QiuXue and said,
"This is porridge I bought at the hospital. It doesn\'t look particularly appetizing, but since you\'re still recovering, you can\'t eat anything too oily. For the time being, just a few bites will suffice. We\'ll talk after you finish your IV drip."
Looking at HuMing\'s serious expression, Ye QiuXue nodded obediently. At this moment, she completely followed HuMing\'s instructions.
As she carefully scooped the warm porridge into her bowl, she couldn\'t help but glance at HuMing with curiosity.
HuMing was preoccupied with his phone, not paying much attention to her.
Ye QiuXue cleared her throat softly, and HuMing finally looked up at her.
"What is it?"
"Nothing. I was just curious---How did you find me?"
"You asked me to send you a list, right? After sending it and not hearing back from you, I thought it was strange. Then, when you didn\'t answer the phone, I thought something had happened. So I went looking for you and finally found you in the school\'s equipment room."
HuMing grimaced, his expression not looking very pleasant.
Ye QiuXue\'s expression also turned serious. She furrowed her brow, deep in thought about who might have targeted her, but HuMing interrupted her thoughts.
"Drink the porridge quickly. It won\'t be good if it gets cold."
"This porridge is already not good..." Ye QiuXue mumbled under her breath, but HuMing shot her a stern look.
She quickly lowered her head and started drinking the porridge in small sips.
But she also found it odd: Why was she afraid of HuMing?
Thinking about this, she raised her head again and asked,
"How much is the porridge and the doctor\'s fee? I\'ll send the money to you when I get home."
"Heh, you think I\'m some ambulance that charges for services? If you had gone home earlier, you probably wouldn\'t have ended up in this situation!"
Even without checking the security footage, HuMing could guess that Ye QiuXue was late getting home.
In the afternoon, he saw her dealing with a pile of documents, and she was determined to make revisions no matter what as if the school would collapse without her.
HuMing didn\'t like Ye QiuXue\'s attitude.
Seeing HuMing\'s serious expression, Ye QiuXue couldn\'t help but feel a twinge of guilt. She had never imagined that she would be scolded by HuMing one day!
"I already reminded you at noon to take good care of yourself. You should have heard what the doctor said outside. If you keep this up, you\'ll ruin your health!"
Being responsible is commendable, but HuMing didn\'t find it admirable to overwork oneself for others.
One must first ensure one\'s well-being before managing others.
He is neither capable of nor interested in doing things like a saint!
"Okay, okay, I understand what I did wrong. Don\'t be angry, alright?"
Ye QiuXue set her bowl aside, her usually firm tone softening as she gently tugged at HuMing\'s sleeve.
