next day
Luo Beishi, who didn't know what time he had slept, woke up in Huo Cixiao's arms and stared blankly up at Huo Cixiao.
Logically speaking, Huo Cixiao should be keeping his distance from him now that Huo Cixiao is about to wake up.
However, his current public persona is: utterly in love with Huo Cixiao.
Wouldn't it be strange if Huo Cixiao turned on him the moment he woke up?
Besides, if he wasn't "madly in love" with Huo Cixiao, how would he explain spending that sum of money?
Huo Cixiao: "..." Hmph, even if he couldn't see that burning gaze, he couldn't ignore it.
My wife started swooning first thing this morning. We've been sleeping together for so many days, hasn't she had enough of looking at him?
" Tongtong, how can I speed up Huo Cixiao's awakening? I'm so tormented! I wish he were awake! I keep having these paranoia that he's already conscious!" Luo Beishi shouted into the system in his head while squeezing Huo Cixiao's waist hard.
Huo Cixiao: "..." Ouch. Is my wife a little too strong? She's so small.
System: "Host, are you willing to take the risk?"
Luo Beishi paused, "Adventure? What kind of adventure? Tell me, I love adventure the most."
system:"..."
System: "Didn't you pick the Flower of Illusion before? Steep it in boiling water, let it cool, and then give it to Huo Cixiao. There's a 50% success rate in getting Huo Cixiao to wake up immediately."
Luo Beishi: "What if it doesn't work? Wouldn't it be a waste of all the effort I put into climbing the cliff to pick it? Didn't you say you'd take it after you woke up?" He thought of that cliff. It was the first time he had climbed it, and it was so high. Even with a safety rope and his indestructible body, it was extremely dangerous.
System: "You can try it even if you're about to wake up, so, how about giving it a try?"
Luo Beishi gritted his teeth. "Yes, let's try, why not! Let's try right after breakfast."
After breakfast, Luo Beishi went to the safe to take out the Flower of Illusion that had been dried, ground it into powder, and poured it into a small amount of boiling water. She was afraid that if there was too much water, it would be difficult to feed the Luo Beishi.
Huo Cixiao didn't know what Luo Beishi was doing. After a while, his wife fed him some water. It was so bitter, but he endured it without showing any expression.
"Alright, it's time to draw the lottery! Honey, wake up!" Luo Beishi excitedly waited by the bedside for Huo Cixiao to wake up.
Luo Beishi felt that there was no greater joy in being a gambling addict than this.
Huo Cixiao: "..." Is this even a form of coercion?
Half an hour later
Luo Beishi was so sleepy from waiting that he wanted to go back to sleep. He groggily climbed into bed and continued waiting. He was so tired that he didn't care anymore. He wasn't afraid that if his villainous husband woke up and saw someone in bed, he might kill him, because he was very strong and couldn't be killed.
Waiting is a long process.
Huo Cixiao felt a warm current flowing through his body, which felt very comfortable.
However, he hadn't forgotten the medicine Luo Beishi had just given him. If he wasn't mistaken, combined with the massage oil Luo Beishi had used on him in the past, it might all have some therapeutic effect...
Luo Beishi, she really did come to save him... Did she like him that much?
Honestly, aren't they afraid of running into bad people?
Half an hour later, Huo Cixiao slowly lifted his eyelids, his deep black eyes staring at the familiar dark gray ceiling. He stared at it for several minutes before coming back to his senses.
He knew his wife was sleeping soundly, and slowly lowered his head to see a furry head pressed against his chest.
At first, Luo Beishi kept a distance from him, probably because she was afraid it wouldn't be good if he woke up and saw it.
But the body's subconscious actions don't lie; in the end, she still returned to his arms.
Hmph, so cute.
From this angle, he couldn't see his wife's face. Huo Cixiao hesitated, wondering whether to get up. He wanted to lift the off-white blanket to get a closer look, but he was afraid of waking her up.
He sighed softly. Sleeping too long will make you stupid. Oh well... I'll go to sleep.
Helpless, Huo Cixiao could only go back to sleep.
Holidays are so relaxing. Luo Beishi slept until 11:30, finally waking up groggily.
"Awake?" A hoarse and cold unfamiliar male voice sounded above his head.
Upon hearing this, Luo Beishi froze, immediately launching into a frantic internal scream, "!!!! Commander! Tongtong! Huo Cixiao is awake! Why didn't you tell me?!"
System: "Host, you're sleeping like a log; Tongtong can't bear to wake you."
Luo Beishi: "..." He had been hoping to wake up, but now he didn't know how to face it!
He slowly got up and inadvertently met Huo Cixiao's dark and deep eyes. He didn't expect that Huo Cixiao, who opened his eyes, would have peach blossom eyes, because there were no photos of Huo Cixiao anywhere, and he couldn't see him very clearly in his dream.
Those eyes were fixed on him, their gaze unreadable, revealing not a trace of doubt.
After sitting up, Luo Beishi looked at Huo Cixiao, who was still lying down, and said, "I don't know if you were conscious before, or how much you knew... Could you give me a hint?"
Huo Cixiao was admiring that tiny, palm-sized face.
He was thinking about a boy who looked like a porcelain doll. He had beautiful and cute white hair, creamy skin that looked soft, delicate features, and a clear and smooth facial contour, as if he were a perfect work of art, exquisitely sculpted.
Especially her slightly upturned eyebrows and eyes, they're like a seductive hook.
Huo Cixiao thought Luo Beishi was the most handsome person he had ever seen.
Luo Beishi: "??? System, why isn't he saying anything? He looks so profound. No wonder he's a major villain. His eyes are so sharp. Is he trying to see right through me?"
System: "Is it possible that he's observing your appearance?"
Luo Beishi: "What's so interesting about me?"
System: "Host, you still have a Beauty Card. Do you want to use it now? As long as you charm the big villain, all his money will be yours!"
Luo Beishi: "Good idea! Too bad..."
System: "What a pity?!"
Luo Beishi: "It's a pity I don't know if I like men or women. Wasn't my liking for Huo Cifeng before just due to the plot? Now I'm confused."
System: "Host, does this matter? Huo Cixiao is top-tier in everything in this story. Aren't you really going to consider it?"
Luo Beishi: "I'm not considering it. Besides, I want to live a peaceful life in the future. Huo Cixiao too handsome. He'll definitely attract a lot of women in the future, and I can't be bothered to deal with them."
The system's attempts to persuade them were unsuccessful, so it remained silent.
After a while, Huo Cixiao finally parted his lips slightly, his voice still very hoarse, "Help me up."
Luo Beishi: "Ah, okay."
Luo Beishi skillfully helped him up, and only let go of his hand after Huo Cixiao was seated.
Originally kneeling on the bed, Luo Beishi simply changed to a more comfortable sitting position and awaited judgment.
Luo Beishi kept his head down, his fingers nervously fidgeting.
