Chapter 122 - Camping {9}
"You rest, I'll get an ice cube and compress your leg. Seeing how Mr. Xuan was massaging your ankles earlier, it looks like you'll be fine."
Mei rushed out, and then she took a few ice cubes from the icebox brought by Tao. Mei's eyes looked at Xiao Long, who seemed to be busy opening his bag. She didn't know what Tao was looking for because Mei didn't care. She went straight back into the tent, checked Qiao Xin's leg, and compressed it with ice cubes.
"Are you feeling better?" asked Mei. Qiao Xin nodded her head, and she didn't say a word, so Mei seemed to understand why Qiao Xin looked so upset. "For last night you have to rest, don't participate in any activities so that tomorrow morning you can walk normally. Food matters and whatever, I'll prepare it for you."
"Thank you, Mei.."
Mei looked at Qiao Xin again, Qiao Xin's white face looked red, Mei quickly checked Qiao Xin's forehead, Qiao Xin's body temperature seemed to warm up.
"You have a fever, Qiao Xin. I'll find some medicine for you, I—"
Mei immediately gasped, her words halted when she saw Xiao Long enter the tent, causing Mei to shift her seat.
Qiao Xin looked still annoyed, and her face didn't even look at Xiao Long, who had come in carrying a box of medicinal equipment.
Xiao Long checked Qiao Xin's forehead, and then he checked Qiao Xin's ankle. But Qiao Xin was about to pull her leg out of Xiao Long's grasp, but Xiao Long firmly grabbed Qiao Xin's leg.
He then shook Qiao Xin's ankle and massaged it with ointment. He has made Qiao Xin wince in pain, half to death.
"Fortunately, you got first aid. This ointment will greatly make your injuries heal quickly," said Xiao Long. Then he held Qiao Xin's hand, knowing that Qiao Xin had a fever. "You have a fever, Qiqi."
"Why do you care? Aren't you annoyed with me getting sick easily?" Qiao Xin snapped.
Xiao Long seemed to be holding his breath, and then he tried to ignore whatever Qiao Xin said. Taking fever medicine and compressing was about to squeeze Qiao Xin, but again Qiao Xin refused.
"Qiqi,"
"Go away, I don't want to see you. There is Mei who can take care of me, and you don't need to take care and care for me at all."
Xiao Long then glanced at Mei, making Mei inevitably choose to leave the tent, making Qiao Xin appear to be calling for Mei but completely ignoring Mei. Mei took a deep breath, looking at Tao, sitting in front of Qiao Xin's tent.
"Why are you here?" Mei asked, sitting next to Tao. Tao took a deep breath.
"In order to take care of Young Mr. Han, so as not to disturb anyone anymore, after all, Young Lady Han is really a little hard to tell,"
"You know, if Mr. Han's words were really annoying earlier,"
"Actually, he didn't mean it like that," Tao seemed to be explaining something. It makes Mei look perfect. "You know, if Young Mr. Han's sister died in an accident, she has swept away in the river while camping together. Seeing Young Lady Han fall into the river earlier, must have traumatized Young Mr. Han's heart and mind to rise again, more than upset and angry, Young Mr. Han was more deeply worried. However, Young Mr. Han was Young Mr. Han, he was a typical man who could neither be sweet nor gentle. He shows how much he cares and worries in such away. that was the case, and perhaps Young Lady Han couldn't get used to it yet. Young Lady Han had been sick many times, even a Young Mr. Han who usually hardly cared about anyone was willing to stay up all night and continue to care for Young Lady Han until she recovered. You know, Mei. It seemed, Young Mr. Han had already fallen in love with Young Lady Han, but it wasn't the other way around. A thing that really has to be worked on perfectly."
Mei seemed to be silent, then she looked at the slightly open tent and saw Xiao Long trying to calm Qiao Xin. Yes, what Tao said was true if Xiao Long seemed very worried about Qiao Xin.
"Sorry if I was so rude to you earlier, Qiqi. I'm just worried, you know what happened to you reminds me of Lingling, and it really makes my mind think all kinds of things."
Qiao Xin seemed to be swallowing her saliva hard. She looked at Xiao Long, who was lowering her head, then took a deep breath. Yes, Qiao Xin forgot that Qiao Xin knew Xiao Long's past was traumatized by this matter, and Qiao Xin felt guilty about it.
"I'm sorry," Qiao Xin finally said. Xiao Long immediately looked at Qiao Xin. "I didn't mean to either, I just wanted to take a step and didn't know that the bat I was stepping on was slippery, so I fell, and I—"
"I see, let's not talk about it anymore," said Xiao Long. Now he was holding Qiao Xin's forehead again, then he took medicine and water, led Qiao Xin to sit down, and told Qiao Xin to take medication. "Later I will burn fish for you, for you to eat, and make you soup, you just rest,"
Qiao Xin looked at Xiao Long, hugging her, making Qiao Xin nod her head. Qiao Xin slowly hugged Xiao Long's body, and then she started to close her eyes. Xiao Long seemed to take a deep breath, after a while, he fell asleep too, and then unconsciously, he fell asleep along with Qiao Xin.
Mei and Tao, sitting outside and talking for a long time, looked at each other, then both looked at the tent.
"Are they all right? Why is it so quiet?" said Mei.
Tao looked at Mei, and he seemed worried too. "How about we take a look to see if they're okay," Mei nodded as well.
The two then stood up and peered at Qiao Xin's tent. Seeing Xiao Long and Qiao Xin sleeping in each other's arms made both of them quickly turn around. Tao immediately closed the tent perfectly. Tao and Mei's faces were bright red now.
"It seems, we don't have to worry anymore," said Mei. Tao nodded his head.
"You're right,"
"Ehm, where is Qiao Xin? I made soup for her, it must be very good for her. I want to give it straight away."
Tao and Mei immediately turned their heads, how surprised they were to see Xuan Cheng there, carrying a bowl of soup.
"Oh, Mr. Xuan, where's the soup, I'll give it to Qiao Xin."
"Oh no, I want to give it myself,"
Mei looked at Tao, making Tao try to find all the most appropriate reasons. How could it not be if Xuan Cheng found out that Xiao Long and Qiao Xin were sleeping together and hugging each other in the tent? It would not be a good thing, even though it was already a secret who should keep their marriage a secret.
"Ehm, actually sister Qiao Xin is sleeping, Mr. Xuan. So I guess if you want to give me the soup, just wait until sister Qiao Xin wakes up, it's very rude not to disturb a sick person who is resting."
"Can I see it?"
"Do not!" Mei and Tao answered at the same time. They elbowed each other again, then smiled stiffly.
"What he means is, Qiao Xin is a married woman. How could Mr. Xuan enter her tent when Qiao Xin was resting. It's really disrespectful and has no manners. Isn't it like that?"
Hearing this, Xuan Cheng finally gave up. How could he not? He couldn't break through forcefully. He also had a bit of self-restraint.
"Alright, I'll wait until Qiao Xin wakes up," Xuan Cheng finally decided.
"Tao, do you know where Xiao Long is? Why doesn't he appear at all? after he left with his annoyed face why did he disappear?"
Mei and Tao looked at each other again, and then both looked at Li Xuan perfectly. Let alone their excuses for Li Xuan now?
"Mr. Han seems to have returned to the lake earlier, Mr. Li. Because I saw him walking there. Hopefully, he'll be fine."
"Alright, I'll look for him there," said Li Xuan. Luckily Li Xuan wasn't like the stubborn Xuan Cheng. Li Xuan was easy to believe, which made Mei and Tao look relieved at least.
"Mr. Xuan, and Mr. Li. How about you guys busy looking for Mr. Han, how about we take care of our dinner? the fish we just caught along with the food we brought are still raw, if we don't take care of it soon, then we won't be able to have dinner at all."
"Oh yes, right. After all, Qiao Xin is sick, when she wakes up and sees that the dishes are ready won't it make her very hungry and eat very voraciously," Mei said with an idea.
Hearing this, Li Xuan and Xuan Cheng looked at each other, and both nodded perfectly.
"What you say is true, Mei. All right, how about we get ready to cook? I will show you that I am the best cook in the country!" Li Xuan's spirit. Xuan Cheng immediately chuckled perfectly.
"Oh yes? I clearly remember how you looked so sad when your fish burnt when you were last camping. Did you forget that? even you cry like a baby in front of me,"
"Cheng, stop opening my cards in front of Mei, why are you giving the impression that I am a useless boss at all!"
