Chapter 997 This is Intuition
Qi Zhi’an looked at Xia Xibei with a light in his eyes that made one’s heart tremble.
When he smiled, he seemed very kind, but once he became grim, he was so authoritative that people didn’t dare to make a move. After all, he was a member of the Qi family.
Xia Xibei was not intimidated by his expression, still very calm. She pointed to the spot where the roots of the plant were exposed in the soi.
“Look here. The color is starting to get darker. If the color is darker, it means it’s over-watered.” She looked serene. “This plant prefers a dry environment.”
“Does it?” Qi Zhi’an looked at her musingly.
“Hmm,” Xia Xibei nodded. “Don’t water it for the next few days, it will bloom in a couple of days.”
The flower had a rather large bud on top, which was very beautiful.
However, only Qi Zhi’an knew that the bud had been there for a month. It had not opened and nothing had changed.
He tried everything to make it bloom, but he couldn’t get it to do so.
If it couldn’t bloom, then there was no way to use it. After all, the most important part of the whole plant was the flower.
Now when he heard Xia Xibei say this, his expression changed. “Really? But didn’t you just say you didn’t know about this kind of plant?” Xia Xibei looked at him and shrugged, “It’s my intuition.”
Intuition?
Qi Zhi’an’s eyes changed slightly.
This was not an ordinary plant. He should say that there may not be a second plant of this kind in this world.
So when had Xia Xibei seen this plant, and where did she get this intuition?
Xia Xibei ignored his reaction and walked over to Huo Zijun and the others.
“It’s about time. Let’s go back?”
“Yes, it’s getting late. It’s time to go back.”
Huo Zijun nodded, greeted Qi Zhi’an, and helped his grandfather leave the garden. Watching their departing backs, Qi Zhi’an looked back at this plant with a bit of subtlety in his eyes.
However, he put the sprinkler back.
Then, a small smile came to the corner of his mouth.
Let’s give it a try then!
After returning to the villa, several people went back to their own rooms to clean and rest.
It was after 9:00 p.m. when Xia Xibei and Huo Zijun gathered in the old man’s room.
The old man, with the help of his caregiver, was already clean and ready for bed.
When he saw the two coming, he cheerfully greeted them again, starting to chat.
The old man asked about Huo Zijun’s situation in G City over the years. When he found out that the kid had started a company and was now making good profits, he patted his grandson’s shoulder gratefully. “Very good, keep up the good work!”
He was worried before that Huo Zijun was not doing well, but now it seemed that the kid was doing quite well.
With Huo Zijun’s ability, as long as there were no major problems, he would be fine.
Faced with his grandfather’s smile, Huo Zijun did not say what was bothering him.
The grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing, and the old man soon got sleepy.
Xia Xibei came up again, “Grandpa, let me give you a ma.s.sage.”
“Sure,” Grandpa nodded happily. “Little Xia, you are really great. After your ma.s.sage, I felt very comfortable!”
“Comfortable is good.”
Xia Xibei’s hands did not stop moving. After a while, the old man began snoring, and Xia Xibei took out the silver needles again.
After another treatment, she withdrew the silver needles and touched her forehead, which was a little warm, with a puzzled expression.
Two days pa.s.sed like this, and on the morning of the third day, there was a knock on their door.
When she opened it, Qi Zhi’an was there with a surprised face. “The flower is blooming!” Qi Zhi’an said excitedly.
“Congratulations!” Xia Xibei laughed.
