Chapter 18
Bai Xiaoye couldn't see clearly in the dark, so he got up, grabbed Huo Xingxing's shoulder and shook vigorously, "Turn on the light, turn on the light!"
In this world, if there is anything that is too frightening to overcome, for Bai Xiaoye, there is only one thing: fear of the dark.
After Bai Xiaoye's sister passed away in the original world, her mother suffered from severe depression, and she never slept with the lights off at home.
Later, when his mother left, he became a doctor. He was so busy that he was in the hospital at four or six o'clock, and he didn't pay much attention to sleep. He never turned off the lights in the lounge.
I didn't expect to come to the world in the book, and I still can't overcome this.
He yelled "turn on the light" on his lips, and he couldn't help the physiological tears already hanging from the corners of his eyes.Two hands stretched up from Huo Xingxing's shoulders, hugged him tighter and tighter, and hugged him around his neck, already using brute force.
Huo Xingxing sat up neatly, supported Bai Xiaoye with one hand, and stood up quickly with the other hand.
In just a few seconds, the lights turned on.
The night light was very soft, and she couldn't adapt to the darkness at once. Bai Xiaoye let go of her two hands around Huo Xingxing's neck, and rubbed her eyes vigorously.
Huo Xingxing was afraid that he would fall, so he didn't say anything. He supported Bai Xiaoye's waist with one hand and his leg with the other, and slowly put him on the bed.
Waited a few more seconds.
Huo Xingxing said slowly, "Are you afraid of the dark?"
Bai Xiaoye choked and nodded.I thought it was time for Huo and his party to make fun of him this time.Just like those medical students in the dormitory of the original world, each of them taunted him because they were afraid of the dark.Bai Xiaoye is mentally prepared, after all, he has experienced all these unbearable things.
However, Huo Xingxing did not laugh.He just raised his hand and touched the top of Bai Xiaoye's head, and said seriously, "It's all right. From now on, I won't turn off the lights."
"You?..." Bai Xiaoye put down her hand and raised her eyelashes to look at him.
"Oh. I won't touch you anymore." Huo Xingxing immediately let go of his hands touching Bai Xiaoye's head, raised his hands, palms facing him, and signaled that both hands were withdrawn.
Bai Xiaoye paused, and asked softly, "Then, can you fall asleep?"
Huo Xingxing: "Yes. I slept deeply."
Bai Xiaoye raised her eyes to look at the deep and firm eyebrows under the soft light.He naturally remembered that the person standing in front of the bed was still a somnambulist, his sleep was very shallow, and he slept very little every day, it was not real at all.How could it be possible to sleep soundly.
Before, for the monthly pocket money, he promised to treat him.Hearing what he said, Bai Xiaoye bit her lip, secretly determined to improve the sleep of the benefactor.
"Then you mean what you say and don't touch me?" This time, Bai Xiaoye boldly reviewed the rules.
Huo Xingxing just raised his hand, so he straightened his palm like an oath, "Well, I won't touch you."
While speaking, Huo Xinghang lowered his head.He couldn't keep his serious face a little bit.
"Then if you touch me again, you will be fined." Bai Xiaoye followed his avoiding gaze, this matter had to be settled.
Hearing the fine, Huo Xingxing almost laughed out loud, but before Bai Xiaoye finished speaking, he straightened the corners of his mouth and let out a "hmm".
"Okay. Touch a dollar." Bai Xiaoye seemed to be reading out the outline, each sentence becoming more serious, and she didn't even smile.
Huo and his party suspected that their ears had fallen off... Forget it, no matter how much it is, he nodded quickly.
"Then, go to sleep." After Bai Xiaoye finished speaking, she returned to the bed, this time he clung to the inside of the bed.
It was originally a three-meter-wide bed.The free space was enough for Huo and his party to sleep in a horizontal or vertical position.
Huo Xingxing saw the little yellow velvet pajamas on the bed lying down and covering the quilt before he lay down again.
Naturally, he didn't go to bed, but just lay back on the mat in a regular manner.
This night, he hardly closed his eyes, he couldn't control his sleepwalking, he was afraid that Bai Xiaoye, who had just calmed down, would be awakened by him again, and would be in a trance for a while before dawn.
When Uncle Jiang came in to deliver breakfast, Huo and his party happened to be washing up.He saw the cushions on the ground and the white leaflets stretched out and sleepy with red silk hanging from their eyes.
Now, Uncle Jiang was worried to death, "Xiaoye, I have wronged you so much. The young master has been used to domineering since he was a child. He, he, alas."
Uncle Jiang looked at the hard mats casually spread on the ground, which were still crumpled.He was sure that Young Master Huo would not be wronged and fell asleep on the ground, and he sighed uncomfortably for Bai Xiaoye.
"Uncle Jiang, it's okay, I'm not wronged. I can fall asleep anyway." Bai Xiaoye turned around and didn't quite understand why Uncle Jiang was so sad, so she waved her hand quickly.
Uncle Jiang saw that Bai Xiaoye didn't complain at all, and his heart softened all of a sudden, this is too bullying. "Xiaoye, don't worry. Leave this matter to me."
Bai Xiaoye scratched her head and didn't keep up with Uncle Jiang, asking him to leave something to him.However, seeing that Huo and his party hurriedly confirmed with Uncle Jiang that they were all business trips that he didn't understand before going out, they ate breakfast quietly by themselves.
When Huo and his party went out, the little nurse on the grandfather's side yelled again, and pulled Bai Xiaoye over early in the morning.
As a result, a whole room of breakfast was delivered, and neither of them had a few mouthfuls. Uncle Jiang packed up the tableware and called someone to come in.
"Go, replace the mattress in the young master's room with a fixed water bed. This one is old, take it out and throw it away."
Uncle Jiang gave the order, and while there was no one in the room, the others quickly took action.
Bai Xiaoye, who was still in her grandfather's house, was seriously discussing with Dr. Tang about her grandfather's treatment plan.
In the side living room of the Huo family next door, the door was wide open.
At this time, a rare visitor came, the younger sister of Bai Xiaoye's mother, who was Bai Xiaoye's second aunt.The second aunt of the Huo family quietly invited her over to be a guest.
"Mrs. Zhang, these are small gifts, not worth anything, just accept them." The second aunt of the Huo family pushed over several new limited edition leather bags while talking.
Bai Xiaoye's second aunt even pretended to give way.
"Mrs. Zhang, with your status, even if you are abroad, you don't have a few pieces of new jewelry, how can you do it?" The second aunt of the Huo family said, and stuffed a few small boxes into the arms of the second aunt Bai Xiaoye.
"Just tell me about Bai Xiaoye. Has she always been a medical student?" The second aunt of the Huo family squinted her eyes and spoke loudly, which was not at the level of two women chatting.
"Xiaoye studies medicine? Hahaha. She's a girl, she's studying art, she's not good enough. I've always heard that what she's learning is jewelry identification skills, it's definitely not medicine." Bai Xiaoye's second aunt laughed loudly. The voice is like the trumpet in the vegetable market.
Naturally, such a loud voice could also be heard in Grandpa's room.
Bai Xiaoye's second aunt didn't have much contact with the Bai family at all.After Bai Xiaoye's mother joined the Bai family, she looked down on her natal family at all, and never even recognized this poor sister.
Therefore, Bai Xiaoye has never seen this so-called second aunt since she grew up.
This time, the Bai family surreptitiously changed their marriages, and the family of three packed up their bedding and ran away.After that, the Huo family, who had been chasing the Bai family wholeheartedly, had no choice but to follow the vine to get in touch with the second aunt who hadn't moved for 800 years.
"Really?" The second aunt of the Huo family smiled, "That Xiaoye is really a bold person. When she came to our house, she said she was going to be a doctor."
"This girl, is she still studying medicine? Isn't that nonsense." As she spoke, the second aunt let out her vulgarity.
"Oh, how could this be? A few days ago, Xiaoye practiced with our old man." The second aunt of the Huo family was also startled and almost screamed.
"What? That's not cheating. Just what she did, you old man will have to let her kill you if you don't die." The second aunt patted the chair while talking.He shouted loudly, his voice was ear-piercing.
Not knowing what Second Aunt Huo said, Second Aunt hurriedly lowered her voice, "Bah, bah, bah, I'm a rough man, I can't speak. Your old man must live a long life. The one who died was that Bai Xiaoye."
The two continued to yell loudly, but the door to the living room had already been closed by Uncle Jiang from the outside.
But at the same time, Uncle Jiang had just closed the door of the house, and the gate outside the yard was surrounded by a bunch of reporters, bustling with people.
"Jiang Shuo, what kind of people are here at home today." Grandpa was a little powerless, he had to take a break before finishing a sentence.
Uncle Jiang frowned, and called Doctor Tang and Bai Xiaoye to accompany the old man, and he went straight to the door.
Bai Xiaoye and Dr. Tang were immersed in sorting out Grandpa's case, and were too lazy to talk to the second aunt outside the door who deliberately came to scare him.
After a while, Uncle Jiang really came back clutching his chest, looking a little disturbed.
The reporters outside were vaguely shouting about medical journals.
The outside of the door was already surrounded, and even the car of Huo and his party who came back suddenly was stopped outside.
The people came too suddenly, Uncle Jiang saw that something was wrong, Huo's new wine hadn't been officially released yet, the reporter shouldn't have come at this time.Seeing that he couldn't hold back anymore, he quickly walked over and whispered to Huo Shao.
"Uncle Jiang, I heard some rumors and rushed back. Leave it to me." With that said, Huo and his party held Uncle Jiang, took one side, and opened the impenetrable door blocked by reporters alone.
Uncle Jiang hurried upstairs again.
"Jiang Shuo, don't let people shout outside." Grandpa Huo took Bai Xiaoye's hand and weakly called Uncle Jiang outside the door to come in.
"Grandpa Huo, don't worry, I know these reporters. I often see them in the hospital. There are two medical experts among them, not all reporters." Doctor Tang looked out through the window, Not as anxious as Uncle Jiang.He even really saw Professor Wang, the leader of cutting-edge medicine.
"Medical...?" Grandpa Huo paused, "Jiang Shuo, do you know what's going on?"
Uncle Jiang frowned and shook his head, "Old man, the young master is back and is already dealing with it."
Grandpa Huo nodded.
After a while, Huo and his party rushed in with strides.
"One line, what's going on outside?" Grandpa said slowly.
Huo Xingxing stood upright in front of the bed, and smiled at Grandpa as if nothing had happened: "Grandpa, it's a good thing."
"Good thing?" Grandpa Huo raised his eyebrows.
Huo Xingxing cleared his throat, and his voice was clear, "Yes. This time Huo's new color wine has attracted much attention, and they came to ask about the press conference in advance."
After listening, Uncle Jiang next to him gave Huo and his party a wink.
"Oh." Grandpa heard that it was a good thing, and nodded with a smile, but he didn't ask any more words.
Huo Xingxing heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he had deceived his grandfather, he lowered his eyes to look at Bai Xiaoye, who was still stretching out his slender fingers to press his grandfather's leg.
Just now he did completely suppress the reporters outside.
Standing here at this moment, the corners of the mouth are tense and the face is cold, but the heart is boiling with the news just outside the window: a paper that has attracted worldwide attention in the medical field has caused a sensation!
The reason why these reporters flocked to the door was because the address of the paper registration was Huo's house.
