Chapter 444: Chapter 441:
As soon as these words were spoken, Huo Qi’s head instantly started shaking like a rattle drum, “No, no, no need, no need!”
He couldn’t hold back anymore and turned completely around, his ears burning so hot he wished he could scratch the walls.
Behind him, Xiao Yixing withdrew his gaze and snorted coldly in displeasure.
That late night, he was vomiting everywhere.
It tortured him all night long.
Huo Qi felt he was at his limit, pressing one hand desperately against his heart.
It was probably because he had realized the truth about that night, which was indeed too shocking, making his heart almost burst out of his chest cavity.
Meanwhile, from behind, the man’s voice came again, emotionless:
“I agreed to it, are you finally satisfied now.”
Saying that, he burst out two more words, “Come here.”
Damn, where could he go?
Young Master Huo, growing up so big, encountered such an awkward and helpless situation for the first time, and also—unspeakably shameful.
When he slowly turned back around, his nervous hands were somewhat fidgety.
His gaze darted to him then quickly shifted away, his ears burning as if they were on fire.
Why couldn’t he even look into his eyes now?
Besides, no matter what had happened between them before, the current situation was clearly a misunderstanding, how could they—
To be honest, what shocked him wasn’t that he had mistaken the person and said such things; he was shocked that Xiao Yixing actually agreed.
This truth was something he didn’t dare ponder deeply.
Because Professor Xiao could have totally kicked him out, not allowing him to be in his presence for the rest of his life.
And he had straightforwardly told the professor that if he indeed needed care, he could hire a nurse, not necessarily him.
How could he digest this, it just didn’t feel right.
Dressed in a khaki coat, he sat awkwardly and embarrassedly by the side of his hospital bed.
Although sitting beside him, he dodged glances and dared not look at him.
In contrast, the man on the bed gazed at him, lips lightly pressed.
Huo Qi did not notice his gaze, only growing more nervous, restless, and his heartbeat quickened.
He didn’t know why Xiao Yixing kept staring at him.
“Is there something on my face?”
To cover up his embarrassment, Huo Qi touched his face roughly and sneakily glanced at him.
As these words landed, Xiao Yixing averted his gaze, but moments later he said coolly and indifferently:
“Although I agreed to your request, it does not mean you can do anything you want with me, no touching me without permission.”
Upon hearing this, Huo Qi immediately burst out, “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t touch you!”
He was still thinking about how to clarify things with him, how could he even consider doing anything to him.
Right when Huo Qi felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, he couldn’t help but cough lightly, cautiously peering at the figure under the quilt, and timidly asked:
“So, what’s wrong… What’s the problem?”
Looking at him, it seemed as if he had undergone surgery.
Xiao Yixing sat up against the headboard, his face slightly pale, he closed his eyes and tiredly rubbed his brow, faintly uttering a few words: “Appendicitis.”
“Oh, appendicitis huh, that’s not too bad, I thought it was some major surgery—”
“What, you hoped it was something serious?”
He opened his eyes, his gaze landing on Huo Qi.
Huo Qi quickly blushed and stammered, “No, you misunderstood—”
