Chapter 175: Chapter 175: Why Does It Feel Like Flirting and Bickering?
When Lin Qi woke up again, it was already night.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that it was dark outside the window.
She felt a sudden panic and wanted to sit up from the bed.
“Don’t move.”
Huo Tingdong came over.
He said, “Your injuries haven’t healed yet.”
Lin Qi asked in confusion, “Have I slept for a long time?”
Huo Tingdong said, “Yes, for a full two days and nights.”
God knows how difficult these two days and nights were.
He hadn’t slept well. Even when he did sleep, it was just dozing off by the bedside. Given his height, the bed was too low, and lying on it caused him nothing but soreness all over.
Lin Qi became more conscious and asked, “How are Momo and Han?”
“They’re asleep.”
As he spoke, Huo Tingdong raised his head.
Following the direction of his voice, Lin Qi saw that Han and Momo were hugging each other, asleep on a bed nearby.
Huo Tingdong said, “During the days you were missing, they didn’t sleep well either. I wanted to take them back, but they refused, insisting on staying by your side.”
Lin Qi felt warmth in her heart, knowing these two little ones were very worried about her.
They are still children, after all.
Huo Tingdong asked, “Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”
Lin Qi shook her head, “No.”
Huo Tingdong said, “I didn’t expect you to be so badly hurt and that I didn’t notice. I can’t believe how well you withstand the pain. You must tell me even if you feel the slightest pain.”
Lin Qi said, “I’m not uncomfortable, I’m just a bit thirsty.”
Huo Tingdong brushed her messy hair behind her ears, “The doctor said you can’t drink water for now.”
Lin Qi said, “But I’m thirsty.”
Huo Tingdong coaxed, “Can you hold on for a while? The doctor said you can have water after being awake for another 3 hours.”
Lin Qi nodded aggrievedly, touching her empty stomach, only to hear a “gurgle” sound. She wasn’t just thirsty; she was also hungry.
Unfortunately, she was in the hospital and couldn’t just do as she pleased, so she could only lean against the headboard, staring vacantly.
Huo Tingdong took some warm water that had just been poured and dipped a cotton swab into it, then sat beside the bed and gently applied the moist cotton swab to her parched lips.
He was too close.
She could even feel his breath, soft as a feather.
Huo Tingdong barely dared to breathe too hard, as if the person before him was a fragile porcelain doll. She had never seen him this cautious and careful.
Lin Qi saw him staring intently at her lips and frowned slightly, “Why are you staring at me?”
Huo Tingdong smirked and curled his lips, “Isn’t it because you’re too beautiful?”
Lin Qi: “…”
She suddenly thought of something and nervously grabbed his arm, “What about Lili?”
Huo Tingdong was taken aback, “Lili?”
Lin Qi explained, “The little girl I saved!”
Huo Tingdong said, “She’s not hurt, but she’s at the police station where the police are trying to contact her relatives.”
Lin Qi was relieved upon hearing this.
“Her mother was killed by the bad guys, and who knows where her father is.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Don’t worry, she’s safe now.”
Lin Qi nodded.
Huo Tingdong suddenly stood up and brought over a thermos.
Lin Qi curiously asked, “What’s this?”
Huo Tingdong raised an eyebrow, “Guess?”
Lin Qi said, “Water?”
Huo Tingdong unscrewed the lid.
The thermos contained fragrant chicken soup, still warm.

Lin Qi’s cravings were instantly triggered, and she instinctively reached out to grab the thermos, but Huo Tingdong gently slapped her hand away, “Momo was right, you see the chicken soup he made and you can’t think of anything else.”
Lin Qi stated matter-of-factly, “I’m hungry.”
Huo Tingdong said, “But you can’t even drink water now, let alone chicken soup.”
Lin Qi said, “Then the chicken soup Momo specially made for me will go to waste, won’t it?”
Huo Tingdong replied, “It won’t. If you can’t drink it, I will.”
Lin Qi: “…”
That’s too cruel!
Not only could she not drink it, but she also had to watch him drink it?
This was torture.
Huo Tingdong laughed, “I’m kidding. Once you can drink water, you’ll be able to have the chicken soup.”
Lin Qi nodded and obediently sat waiting by the headboard.
She picked up his phone from time to time, but time passed exceedingly slowly. Every minute, every second felt like an ordeal.
She was so hungry, she felt like she could swallow a whole cow without a problem.
At the same time, she was very curious about what had happened after she slipped into unconsciousness.
Lin Qi asked, “How are the people on the ship?”
Huo Tingdong replied, “The ship eventually sank, but most of those who died were members of the Black Mass.”
Most of the innocent people had been taken onto the Armed Cruiser. The Black Mass members were all uniformly dressed, but there were also a few who took off their clothes to disguise themselves as ordinary people boarding the ship. But as soon as they docked, those people were taken away by the police.
Huo Tingdong said, “Lin Qi, you saved them. You know that? Many of them want to meet you in person to express their gratitude.”
Lin Qi said, “There’s no need to go to so much trouble, I didn’t save them just to be thanked.”
She had just done what she could within her power to save them.
Huo Tingdong said, “It is in desperate situations that human instincts for survival and selfishness are truly tested. Not everyone can do what you did.”
He had thought that Lin Qi had only saved a little girl, but as the investigation deepened, he learned she had saved so many people.
Lin Qi said, “My only virtue is probably kindness!”
Huo Tingdong laughed, “Besides being kind, you have many other virtues.”
Lin Qi’s eyes lit up, “Like what?”
Huo Tingdong began to puzzle it over.
Seeing him so “troubled,” Lin Qi felt a little disappointed, “Alright, I don’t need you to compliment me! If you really can’t think of anything, don’t force it.”
Suddenly, Huo Tingdong indulgently stroked her hair, “You’re very beautiful, with big eyes; you’re gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. Although you appear fragile, you’re actually very tough; you’re smart, decisive at critical moments, and not indecisive. And, you’ve given me the best gift in the whole world.”
Lin Qi was slightly astonished, “A gift? Are you talking about… Momo?”
Huo Tingdong gazed at her tenderly.
Suddenly, he gently embraced her neck and kissed her.
He didn’t kiss her hard, mindful that she was still injured, so initially, it was a light touch, and towards the end, he didn’t forget to reassuringly peck her forehead, “You fool, isn’t the best gift in the whole world you?”
Lin Qi’s face instantly heated up, but she retorted insincerely, “You’re just feeding me a love potion!”
Huo Tingdong said, “So, will you drink this ‘love potion’?”
Lin Qi replied, “If you feed me the ‘love potion’, you must be scheming and up to no good.”
She suddenly caught on, reflecting on their current conversation, how come it sounded like they were flirtatiously bantering?
