Chapter 463 - Secret Conversation (1/2)

What? Su Li has passed out?!

Xiao Luo’s heart jumped. He quickly picked Su Xiaobei up and carried her in his arms as he ran into Su Li’s apartment.

As soon as he stepped in, he saw that Su Li lying unconscious on the carpet. There was a glass beside her, knocked over with its contents spilled all over the floor. He rushed over to Su Li and turned her over.

Her lustrous black hair fell across her face before it slipped, spreading out on the floor. Xiao Luo couldn’t help noticing how lovely Su Li looked as the light shone on her rosy cheeks.

“Miss Su, wake up! What happened to you?”

Xiao Luo tried waking Su Li up, but when she did not respond, he promptly lifted her up from the living room floor and gently put her down on the couch.

Mrs. Li had already left by that time, and had he not been in the opposite apartment, he couldn’t imagine what would have happened to this woman and Su Xiaobei.

He quickly examined Su Li’s condition and soon determined that her blood pressure had spiked because she was experiencing emotional stress, causing the pressure in her cranial cavity to increase suddenly, hence, why she passed out. He took out a long silver needle from his jacket. He gently inserted it into the Shuaigu Acupuncture Point on Su Li’s head. Su Li’s eyes started to quiver slightly, then she gradually came to.

“Mummy!”

Su Xiaobei flew into Su Li’s arms. Her long eyelashes were still drenched in tears, and it was a sight that would touch anybody’s heart.

Su Li reached out, stroked her sad face, and said, “Mummy’s okay, don’t worry…”

Although her complexion appeared rosy, for the most part, her face was rather sallow. In fact, she looked sickly pale.

“Boo-hoo-hoo …”

Su Xiaobei’s mouth puckered up, and she was still sobbing, and tears were streaming out of her eyes.

Xiao Luo retrieved the silver needle, and making an informed guess, he said, “You passed out because you were too mad about Jia Zhengyi’s filthy words, huh?”

Su Li gave him a dirty look as if to say, why ask if you already know?

“Don’t go onto the internet for a while. As you know, people are talking about you in all the media now. It’s not worth the trouble, you’re better off turning a deaf ear to all that’s going on up there; just pretend that the problem doesn’t exist.”

Xiao Luo thought that this would be an excellent opportunity to educate Su Li on stress management. “If you look at it another way, you now have a lot of free time on your hands and you can go shopping with Shen Qingyan, or go on a vacation in other countries… it should be very relaxing,” he said.

“Well, I’ll consider your suggestion!”

Su Li’s response was rather curt, and her nature was impervious to others’ suggestions. Without lingering further on the subject, she said, “Can you get me a cup of water?”

“One second.”

Xiao Luo turned around, headed toward the water dispenser to get some, and walked back.

Su Li slowly sat up on the couch and took a sip.

Su Li remained silent for a while, then she looked up and asked, “Xiao Luo, if it were you, wouldn’t you be mad?”

Xiao Luo chuckled. He did not answer her question directly but said,” Remember this: ‘A heart as cool as ice, would not tremble even if the sky falls.’ Repeat this phrase over and over again, it helps a lot when you need to calm down.”

“It sounds like something from the Spell of Frozen Heart,” Su Li replied.

“Yes, you’re right.”

Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows in surprise. It was indeed from the Spell of Frozen Heart, and one could simply find the full-length poem on the internet. When he was working at Huahai Corporation, he would recite the phrase whenever he felt down, and it served him pretty well.
