Chapter 654: Chapter 654: She sleeps by his side_1
Xiao Ji gazed at Su Hongxing’s flushed and beautiful face, swallowing hard.
Su Hongxing didn’t have to do anything to make him lose control.
He could not harbor impure thoughts about her, nor could he take advantage of her in times of distress. In his heart, Su Hongxing was always his untouchable moonlight.
No matter how he changed or how far away Su Hongxing had drifted from him, she remained special to him.
“Xi-Xiao Ji, I… I’m so hot…” Su Hongxing murmured, feeling like she was about to burn up.
“Hang in there, we’re almost there.” Xiao Ji saw a hotel up ahead. Realising that he was running out of time, he parked the car, carried Su Hongxing and checked into a hotel room.
He opened the room door, carried Su Hongxing into the bathroom, and filled the tub with cold water: “I’m going to get a doctor, you take a cold bath first.”
After Su Hongxing settled into the bathtub, the heat inside her body somewhat subsided.
But the drug was too potent, and the heat surged back up in no time.
She grabbed the shower head and doused herself in cold water to soothe the heat, but it was not enough.
After twenty or so minutes, Xiao Ji brought a doctor, who gave Su Hongxing an injection. Then, she fell into a deep sleep.
Xiao Ji sent the doctor away and sat on the bed watching Su Hongxing. He couldn’t help but lean over and plant a kiss on her smooth forehead.
For how many years had he not been this close to her? Now she was sleeping beside him, just like their old passionate days.
He remembered the first time he held her hand, his palm was sweaty while she was much more composed.
Afterwards, he joked and told Su Hongxing that he loved her a bit more. Yet, in the end, he was the first one to leave.
If that incident hadn’t happened that year, would he already be married to her now, have their own child, and she wouldn’t have met Ye Qilan, wouldn’t have been hurt by Ye Qilan?
Night after night, he wondered why he had so easily let go of her hand.
Clearly, only Su Hongxing ever occupied his heart, with no place for any other woman.
“Xingxing, how great would it be if time could flow backward?” Xiao Ji looked at her sleeping face, his voice hoarse.
Su Hongxing slept deeply. As she groggily opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Ji sitting by the edge of the bed, intently gazing at her.
Her mind went blank for a moment. Then she sat up and looked at herself. She was wearing a bathrobe and had no suspicious marks on her body, proving that nothing had happened earlier.
“Xiao Ji, thank you.” Su Hongxing’s voice was very hoarse.
Xiao Ji handed her a glass of water: “Have some water. The drug you took was potent, but you’ll be fine now.”
Su Hongxing took the glass and drank two big gulps, finally quenching her thirst. She got out of bed and asked, “Where’s Xiaosu? Is she okay?”
Despite her confused consciousness then, she remembered Jiang Su was knocked to the ground by a man named Luo, seemingly injured.
“She’s in the hospital. She’s fine, nothing serious.” As Xiao Ji spoke, he gently patted Su Hongxing’s forehead: “Do you realise that if it was a bit later, no one could have saved you? Don’t go to nightclubs alone in the future, it’s not safe.”
“I got it, I want to see Xiaosu.” Su Hongxing said, then added: “Xiao Ji, I’m really grateful to you. If I didn’t run into you last night, I might have been…”
