Chapter 168 I Like Sleeping with Her (2/2)
”More than that.” Shen Xinglan lifted his eyebrows. ”I heard there are others, one named Yu and others.”
These large families were originally reclusive homes. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces entered China at the end of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi fled Beijing and relied on these usually quiet families to worship all the way.
The Qing government was weak and incompetent. The families were not stupid. The wealth handed down from several generations could not be lost to foreign devils. So they bought some foreigners and moved their families.
They should be regarded as the earliest immigrants.
”Do you think they are going to come into being?” Le Yi asked with his head askew. ”Silent for almost a century, they will come out to do this?”
”The Jiang and Xiao families are married, and they have a bronze mirror jade pendant in their hands...” Shen Xinglan sneered, ”I suspect they are all coming for the bronze mirror jade pendant.”
Le Yi was silent for a moment. ”When A Miao wakes up, tell her all this.”
”I know.”
A Miao and Jiang Quanyu were friends. If he did not make it clear to her, Shen Xinglan was afraid that she would be used by Jiang.
”Boss!” Shen I poked his head into the room again. ”The bodyguard for the young lady has arrived.”
Shen Xinglan looked at A Miao and lowered his voice a little. ”Let her in.”
Just as his voice had died down, he saw Shen I stumble a few steps and almost fall to the ground.
”Get out of the way!” A crisp voice came from the outside, but it was obviously holding back its volume, apparently afraid of waking the people in the ward.
A girl in camouflage shorts and a blue vest came in. City S was just in early summer, so she was obviously a little cold. However, the person's face was rosy, she had a ponytail, and her skin looked like beautiful chocolate after living in the wild for a long time.
”Boss!” The little girl looked to be about 17 or 18, with a round face and round eyes. At this time, her face full of excitement stood at the edge of the hospital bed and saluted Shen Xinglan.
Shen I gave the girl a ferocious look, unaccepting, and explained to Shen Xinglan, ”This girl is called Little Demon. In last year's rookie qualifying... she was number one.”
”Oh?” Le Yi was a little surprised. ”Compared with you?”
Shen I curled his lips and said, ”A tie.”
”That's really good skill!” Le Yi praised her that if she could draw against Shen I, she would basically be top-notch.
The girl called Little Demon was even more excited when she heard someone praising her. Her eyes shone and her hands clenched, ”Boss, don't worry! I will protect the young lady, as long as I live, she will not be hurt!”
”Leave now and come back when A Miao wakes up.” Shen Xinglan looked at her faintly. ”Whether you can stay or not depends on your performance in the future.”
Little Demon saluted him. ”Yes, Boss! Don't worry, Boss!”
Just as Shen I and Little Demon were going out, Le Yi suddenly walked up to A Miao and shined a flashlight in her eyes.
”What's the matter?” Shen Xinglan asked nervously.
Just as his voice died out, he felt her hand in his palm.
”She's awake.” Le Yi stood aside with his arms folded.
Shen Xinglan carefully got close to her face. ”A Miao... A Miao...”
”Woo...” A Miao's head rocked and then she slowly opened her eyes.
”A Miao!” Shen Xinglan looked at her.
The 10 fingers linked together. When all her senses came back, A Miao almost died of pain.
”Don't move, your hands are injured.” Shen Xinglan saw that she was going to lift her arm, so he quickly put it down gently. ”Is it very painful? Endure it, Le Yi said you can't get any anesthetic until you wake up and make sure your fingers can move.
”Don't move, your shoulder is also injured. Are you hungry? I'll feed you!”
Shen Xinglan said a lot of things at once, but A Miao did not respond at all.
”Shen... Xinglan?” When she realized who the person in front of her was, she looked at him for a while and suddenly tears came out of her eyes.
”Why are you crying?” Shen Xinglan impatiently yelled at Le Yi, ”She must be in pain. Do something about it.”
A Miao shook her head. ”No... you... how did you find me...”
She vaguely remembered that she seemed to be dying, and then especially regretted not telling the truth to Shen Xinglan—telling him that she actually liked him, and telling him that she was a thief who took money for work...
”I'll talk to you slowly later!” Shen Xinglan said softly, ”Now let Le Yi examine out first. Be good!”
When A Miao learned that Wei Meng's little tiger had found her, she looked a little embarrassed.
”That's great...” She did not know what else to say.
Shen Xinglan blew on the porridge in the spoon. ”Be careful of getting scalded!”
”I'll thank her when I leave the hospital.” A Miao swallowed the porridge.
”We'll talk about it later.” Shen Xinglan did not care about anyone else. He stared at A Miao, who took another sip of porridge. ”Do you want a bowl of rice?”
A Miao shook her head. ”I can't eat anymore.”
”You've eaten so little.” Shen Xinglan frowned. ”You haven't eaten for two days, and you have lost so much blood. You need to eat more to make up for it.”
Le Yi, who went out to get medicine, came back, opened his mouth and said, ”Come on, take off your clothes!”
