Chapter 78: A Heartwarming Scene

Huo Xiao sat down beside Shen You, his gaze still fixed on her face.

Shen You thought for a moment and asked, “Why did you come back?”

Huo Xiao looked at Shen You, and said after a moment, “I’m done with some tasks.”

Shen You frowned. “Didn’t you go abroad to study?”

Huo Xiao shook his head. “No! I just went for some relevant procedures.”

Shen You was stunned. “I thought you wouldn’t come back anymore!”

Huo Xiao looked at Shen You’s shocked expression and raised his eyebrows. “You don’t want me to come back?”

“Of course not!” Shen You immediately denied it.

Then, she thought for a moment and said, “That farewell party was…”

Huo Xiao frowned as well. “Who told you it was a farewell party?”

Shen You was even more confused. “Wasn’t it?”

Huo Xiao could not help but roll his eyes. He tapped Shen You’s forehead with one hand. “You got the invitation, and you didn’t even look at it?”

Shen You thought about it and then grinned awkwardly. “Those few days… I was a little busy.”

Huo Xiao’s expression changed slightly when he heard that. “Yes! It’s because of Zhao Nan.”

“No!” Shen You quickly denied. “It’s not because of him!”

Huo Xiao looked at Shen You’s anxious expression and relaxed slightly.

“Then have you solved your problem?” Huo Xiao asked again.

Shen You frowned and thought seriously for a moment. “Probably… not yet!”

Huo Xiao nodded and did not continue to ask.

“How did this happen?” Huo Xiao looked at Shen You’s weak appearance.

Shen You sighed. “I have no idea either!”

“I had a blackout and I just woke up just now.” Shen You said truthfully.

Although she had maintained her consciousness throughout, she did not wake up after all. If this was told to Huo Xiao, he would probably think that there was something wrong with her again!

When Huo Xiao heard this, his face was filled with deep worry. “Then, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Shen You shook her head slightly. “I’m perfectly fine!”

Shen You added another sentence in her heart, “Everything has been fine since you came!” Anyway, these words were too pretentious, and Shen You really couldn’t say it out loud.

The two of them chatted non-stop.

Shen You didn’t know if it was her imagination, but she really felt that Huo Xiao had become more talkative! Huo Xiao, who had not spoken much to her previously, had spoken at least a dozen times today!

Suddenly, Shen You’s stomach growled and she felt embarrassed.

Huo Xiao glanced at Shen You, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

Shen You secretly swore in her heart that if she had the strength, she would wipe the smile off Huo Xiao’s face!

Huo Xiao got up and searched the room, only to find a small apple.

He raised the apple in his hand and asked, “Is this okay?”

Shen You was about to reject, but her stomach growled again. She nodded, resigned to her fate.

Huo Xiao washed the apple, picked up the fruit knife in the room, sat down by Shen You’s bed, and quietly peeled the apple.

Shen You’s eyes were fixed on Huo Xiao’s movements. Huo Xiao’s movements did not seem to be skilled. The apple skin was cut off piece by piece.

However, he did not give up. Instead, he continued to peel carefully. When a small piece of flesh revealed, Huo Xiao would cut it off and put it close to Shen You’s mouth.

At first, Shen You was a little uncomfortable. She was embarrassed to open her mouth.

Huo Xiao held the apple by her mouth until she bit it.

Shen You chewed carefully, savoring the taste that she had not tasted in nearly a month. Huo Xiao was a very careful person.

He knew that Shen You could not eat large pieces of the apple, so he cut them into small pieces and fed them to her.

Shen You chewed slowly, and Huo Xiao was not in a hurry. He waited for Shen You to finish one piece before cutting off another.

When Xie Xiao and Zhu Ge returned to the ward, they saw such a harmonious and warm scene. Xie Xiao was about to go forward, but was stopped by Zhu Ge.

Zhu Ge dragged Xie Xiao out of the ward and Xie Xiao glared at Zhu Ge with dissatisfaction.

She raised the hot porridge in her hand. “Xiao You is hungry!”

“Don’t you think there’s something between them?” Zhu Ge said in a low voice.

“So what? You don’t need to eat when you’re in love?” Xie Xiao asked in dissatisfaction.

“I mean…” Zhu Ge gritted his teeth and said, “Forget it!”

Xie Xiao glared at Zhu Ge in dissatisfaction. “You’re a big man, but you’re such a slug!”

After Xie Xiao said that, she carried the things into the ward. This time, Zhu Ge didn’t stop her.
