After waking up, Ji Xiaotiao felt very weak. She was dizzy, as if she’d been forcibly hit over the head with something. She blinked and looked at the crystal chandelier that hung from the ceiling. She was very confused. 

Where was this? She remembered jumping into a pool to pick up a ring. Later . . . she vaguely remembered seeing Xu Moqi.

While she was trying to recall, a black shadow approached. This slightly scared her, but soon, she gradually saw clearly a handsome face, with eyes that gently gazed at her.

Eh? Gentle?  She was surprised that she thought of the word gentle when she saw his face.

She shrunk her neck and carefully asked, “Xu Moqi?”

She said it in a hoa.r.s.e voice and uncertain tone. Obviously, Ji Xiaotiao was not sure that the handsome man was her young master. She even wondered if she was dreaming!

“Are you awake?” he asked softly, with eyes full of love. He even reached his hand out to tidy the loose hair on her forehead.

“Xu, Xu, Xu Moqi?”

She asked stutteringly again.

“Yes.”

Her young master answered in a soft voice. He was calmly looking down at her. Despite Liu Zhiyuan’s repeated a.s.surances, Xu Moqi still worried about her ’til she woke up.

Thinking of the negotiation between him and his grandfather, Xu Moqi couldn’t help sighing lightly. He reached his hand to lightly pinch her nose. He asked her, “Why did I fall in love with you. . . ?”

However, Ji Xiaotiao pretended not to hear what he said. She kept on blinking until she confirmed he really was Xu Moqi. She reached her hand from the quilt to pinch the handsome face.

“Do you feel pain?”

After hearing that, he said angrily, “What do you think?”

“I pinched you, not myself, so only you know.”

“. . . Why didn’t you pinch yourself?”

“Er. . . I am not stupid. Why would I pinch myself. . . ?”

“So, you mean you only pinch the stupid one?”

“Er. . . I never said that.”

“Ji! Xiao! Tiao! You are dead meat!”

……

Ji Xiaotiao only had a cold and then had a fever, which caused her to fall into a coma. It was not serious. Moreover, she was treated in a timely fashion. Due to Xu Moqi’s ident.i.ty, she was looked after carefully in the hospital.

During this period, Xu Moqi stayed with her almost all the time, except for the negotiation with his grandfather. However, the ungrateful girl comfortably slept for a day and a night, ’til dusk the next day. Once she woke up, she pinched “her savior” without any reason.

Whether it was a novel, or TV drama, a girl in her situation would naturally pledge to marry him in this case. However, this girl . . .

“Xu Moqi, why did you show up at Moli’s house? Did she invite you, too? You study at Fenghua School, so, how does she know you?”

According to common sense, Xu Moqi should tolerate her at this moment, because she was a patient. She now leisurely leaned against a soft cushion and interrogated him like a queen! At the same time, her young master was like a male servant. He quietly sat by her bed, peeling an apple. After hearing what she said, he only hummed.

“Ah! Is it really a fake ring? I don’t think that’s possible, since it was so shiny! I thought it was very valuable. . . ”

“Yes! It really is a fake ring, but it is more valuable than you.”

He pa.s.sed the peeled apple to her. She took it and then angrily took a big bite. She said unclearly, “It’s impossible! It’s impossible that it’s more valuable than me unless it’s expensive. . . ”

Xu Moqi just smiled. Foolish girl . . . you will be far more valuable than before now that I’ve fallen in love with you, he thought.

However, he said with duplicity . . .

“No wonder you like sleeping. I found your face is one inch thicker than before whenever you wake up.”

“You!”

After hearing what he said, Ji Xiaotiao was too angry to eat the apple. She abruptly turned over and covered herself with the quilt.  

When Xu Moqi saw it, he asked, “Are you angry?”

She just snorted without saying a word. Was she brain-damaged from her high fever? How dare she not answer him! Didn’t she know who’d carefully looked after her these days? Didn’t she know who woke her up every day? Didn’t she know who went shopping with her sometimes?

In fact, everything he did obviously showed he loved her. However, only this foolish girl always thought he was a bad man, a vicious tongue, and even an . . . abnormal gay!

Suddenly, the quilt was peeled back. Ji Xiaotiao was a little scared. Then, she immediately pulled up the quilt to cover herself again.

They both fought for the quilt. Finally, Xu Moqi won because he was stronger than her. Then, Ji Xiaotiao was like a poor cat. She had no choice but to fight against him with her hands and feet. However, she didn’t expect that he would suddenly embrace her.

…?

. . . What’s the matter?

“Ji Xiaotiao.”

“Ah? . . . Yes!”

“I think it’s fine, even though you are thick-skinned.”

“. . . ” Young master, I don’t think you are praising me.

“It’s also fine that you’re a bit stupid.”

“. . . ” Young master, why did you embrace me in such a manner? Are you afraid I might bite you?

“In fact, it is very reasonable that fortune favors fools.”

“. . . ” Young master, what on earth did you want to talk . . . ?

Xu Moqi looked down. Ji Xiaotiao could feel his warm breath. Then, she blushed. She was too nervous to breathe.

“Ji Xiaotiao. . . ”

“Um. . .  Yes?”

“Let’s leave the hospital tomorrow, okay?”

“Um? Okay!”

“Let me cook for you after we leave the hospital, okay?”

“Ah? Yes, okay!”

“I’ll let you use the TV remote. You can watch any program you like, okay?”

“Okay! Yes, yes, yes!”

“Always stay with me, okay?”

“. . . ”

He didn’t hear her answer, so he was a little angry. He asked, “Why aren’t you answering me?”

Ji Xiaotiao blinked. She looked at the handsome face for a while. Then, she reached one hand out. . .

“. .  . Why did you pinch me again!” he asked angrily.

“Are you really Xu Moqi?”

“. . . Ji! Xiao! Tiao!”

“Ah! Don’t shout so loud, or my eardrum will rupture!”

At this time, Liu Zhiyuan was spying at them. When he saw this, he quietly closed the ward door. He stood up straight and left, laughing loudly.  

Hey, hey, hey. . . That was pretty funny. Liu Zhiyuan thought he should report it to Xu Moqi’s grandfather.
