Huo Yanqing had developed the habit of waking up early during his time in the special forces. His biological clock would wake him up when it was time.
The sky outside had just begun to brighten.
Huo Yanqing was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Shu Xin had gone back to the hotel with him last night. She was breathing evenly beside him and her soft hand was in his palm.
Even though he still had a nightmare, he did not wake up and slept soundly for the rest of the night.
Was it because she was beside him?
Huo Yanqing's lips curved slightly. He listened to Shuxin's gentle breathing and found her face. He then realized that she was sleeping with her head on his arm.
He removed the towel from his forehead and got out of bed. He gently carried her in his arms and was about to place her on the bed when Shuxin's phone rang.
Shuxin woke up with a start and opened her eyes. She did not know where she was.
After two seconds, her mind gradually cleared up. Shuxin was horrified when she realized where she was. "Fifth … Fifth Uncle … Why are you hugging me?"
Huo Yanqing's face flashed with awkwardness but he quickly regained his composure. "I'm carrying you to bed."
Shuxin did not mean what she said. "No … It's okay … I'm not sleepy …" She then jumped out of Huo Yanqing's arms like a rabbit. "I need to take a call." She then hid in the bathroom.
The call was from Li Yang.
Shuxin took a deep breath and calmed her frightened little heart before answering the call. "Brother Li."
"Something happened." Li Yang's anxious voice came through the phone.
"What happened?" Shuxin's heart instantly jumped.
"The news of Teacher accepting bribes has been exposed. It's all over the newspapers and the internet. The video of Teacher and Zhang Wenhai having dinner together has also been posted online."
"How did this happen? Wasn't it an internal investigation? "
"I don't know who leaked the news. The army is investigating this matter now, but even if they find out, it's useless. Now, the Internet is full of criticism and abuse towards Teacher. Teacher's door is also blocked by the media and reporters."
Shuxin immediately thought of Tong Qiao and Xia Daiyun who were still in the hospital. "Are Qiao 'er and Aunt Xia okay?"
"I don't know. I'm rushing to the hospital now."
"Is the Weihena Hotel and the hospital on the way?" Shuxin was not familiar with the capital.
"Ah?" The topic changed so quickly that Li Yang couldn't react in time.
"I'm at the Weihena Hotel. If it's on the way, can you pick me up? I want to go to the hospital with you."
"It's on the way. I'm about to reach the Weihena Hotel."
"Alright, wait for me. I'll come down immediately after I wash up."
Shuxin hung up the phone and quickly washed up. When she came out, Huo Yanqing was changing his clothes.
From Shuxin's angle, she could see Huo Yanqing's bare back. His muscles were well-defined, his shoulders were broad, and his waist was narrow. His back was smooth and full of strength.
Shuxin was caught off guard when she saw Huo Yanqing's bare upper body. Her beautiful eyes widened, and her heart raced. Her cheeks burned as if they were on fire.
Huo Yanqing heard movement at the bathroom door. He smoothly put on the white shirt in his hand, turned around, and said to Shuxin while buttoning, "Are you done washing up?"
Shuxin, "… Yes." Looking at the man who suddenly turned around, Shuxin's eyes widened again, and she swallowed her saliva.
His muscular chest, sexy lower abdomen, and the way he buttoned his shirt with his slender fingers was so sexy that she couldn't look away.
Fifth Uncle, don't you know how attractive you are?
