Huo Yanqing buttoned his shirt and extended his hand to Shuxin. "Come and help me to the bathroom."
"… Okay." Shuxin snapped out of her daze and walked over to Huo Yanqing's arm to support him as they walked towards the bathroom. "Fifth Uncle, does your head still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore."
Shuxin wanted to touch Huo Yanqing's forehead to check if his fever had subsided. However, she did not dare to touch him when he was awake. "Is your fever gone?"
"… I don't know." Huo Yanqing stopped in his tracks and turned to face Shuxin. He bent over slightly and asked, "Can you check if your fever has subsided?"
Shu Xin looked at the exquisite and three-dimensional face in front of her, and her heart pounded. The hand by her side clenched slightly before she slowly raised it and placed it on his smooth forehead. A second later, she moved it away. "The fever seems to have subsided."
"You think?" Huo Yanqing raised his eyebrows and his sexy lips curved into a faint smile.
"Mm," Shuxin replied with a blushing face. She did not dare to touch his forehead carefully and let go after touching it. It seemed that his fever had subsided.
Huo Yanqing took Shuxin's hand which was on his arm and held the back of her hand to place it on his forehead.
One second, two seconds, three seconds …
"Are you still feverish?" Huo Yanqing did not let go of Shuxin's hand.
He was feverish, extremely feverish.
However, it was not his forehead that was feverish. It was her hand.
Shuxin's palm was on Huo Yanqing's forehead and the back of her hand was on Huo Yanqing's warm palm.
How could he not feel feverish?
Shuxin hurriedly withdrew her hand and placed it behind her back. "The fever has subsided."
"Mm." Huo Yanqing smiled faintly. "Give me a moment. After I'm done washing up, let's have breakfast together."
"… Oh." After two seconds, the girl came back to her senses and said, "Fifth Uncle, I have something urgent to attend to. I can't eat breakfast with you."
Huo Yanqing was silent for two seconds. "Okay, I'll get Song Li to pick you up tonight. We'll have dinner together."
Shuxin wanted to refuse, but Huo Yanqing continued, "Thank you for staying with me last night."
Why did these words sound so wrong?
She stayed with him all night?
One meal and one night with her? Wasn't it too cheap?
When Song Li sent Shuxin to the entrance of the hotel, Li Yang had already arrived.
Shuxin took the packed breakfast from Song Li and said, "Thank you." Then she hurried to Li Yang's car and sat in the front passenger seat. "Let's go."
Li Yang retracted his gaze from the hotel entrance and started the car. He glanced at the girl beside him from time to time, looking like he wanted to say something but was hesitating.
Shuxin got in the car and opened the breakfast carton. "Brother Li, have you had breakfast?"
"Yes, I have."
"Oh." Shuxin took out her cell phone to read the news as she ate breakfast.
Just as Li Yang said, the Internet was full of news about Tong Wenbin accepting bribes.
There was a lot of scolding.
"People who extort money from the people in the name of serving the people are the most hateful."
"People like this should be sent to prison and never let out for the rest of their lives."
"Corrupt people are social parasites. The country is too kind to people like this. They should be shot to prevent future trouble."
"The evidence is conclusive. Why don't they send this scum to prison?"
"Does the country want to protect people like this?"
"Or are the officials already protecting each other?"
There were also accusations against Zhang Wenhai, but the words were not as sharp as Tong Wenbin's.
