Huo Xu had blue veins popping out on his forehead, "No, I don't accept my fate!"
His brain was dizzy and his hands and feet felt numb. The consciousness was desperately fighting with him for the right to use his body, but the other party was weak after all, so he tried hard to contain it.
Finally, after a few minutes, the consciousness that had disturbed him fell into sleep again.
Huo Xu's knees touched the ground and he was holding on to the wall. His back was hunched and his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.
After Yu Ruoruan made the call, she saw his face pale when she came back.
She hurriedly stepped forward to help him, "Huo Xu, what's wrong with you?"
"fine."
Huo Xu didn't want Ruanruan to worry, so he held on to the wall and stood up with difficulty, "I was just a little dizzy just now."
Yu Ruanruan couldn't help but frown and muttered, "I have already told you that you are in good health and should recuperate at home."
Her eyes were slightly red, and she hesitated for a moment before gently hugging his waist.
This hug was not as intimate as the previous ones. It was very light, with a hint of complexity and intolerance.
Huo Xu didn't feel it. He hugged the girl tightly and said hoarsely, "I understand, let's go home first?"
Yu Ruanruan's body felt a little stiff, she pushed him away silently, nodded, "Okay."
After saying that, he supported the man and the two left the company together.
In the next few days, Huo Xu recuperated in Qiangyuan.
Although Yu Ruanruan is pregnant, she will take the initiative to take care of him who is still injured.
"Xiao Xu, you've been recovering from this injury for a while. After all, Ruan Ruan is pregnant with the seed of our Huo family. You can't always let her take care of you! In the past, you did everything about her yourself."
Mr. Huo finally couldn't stand it anymore and said angrily.
During these days, Huo Xu also secretly went online to learn how to take care of pregnant women.
He once imprisoned Ruanruan in Qiangyuan for three full years, and indeed he personally fed her, helped her wash her hair, and changed her clothes.
But at that time, his treatment of her was not gentle.
Maybe it's a humiliation for her.
So during the period after his rebirth, even though he wanted to take care of her, whenever he touched those artifacts, he would instantly recall the memories of those three years.
The inner guilt and self-blame will attack him like inner demons.
The most important thing is that he has not yet obtained the memory of the past four years of this body. Huo Xu in this world has firmly sealed that memory deep in his brain, making it impossible for him to touch it.
Even if he is allowed to see how Ruanruan and himself have known each other and loved each other in the past four years, how he in this world has made amends and how he has healed her.
Maybe he will feel better?
Maybe he would act more like that?
When he was thinking about this, Huo Xu was cooking. When he was in Qiangyuan in his previous life, Ruanruan was poisoned and framed once.
After that, he changed to cooking and feeding himself.
At that time, he actually found some clues and found that the person behind the poisoning might be Yu Chengcheng, but he did not think further.
Yu Chengcheng was not pursued.
But since then, he has installed surveillance cameras in every corner of Qiangyuan.
It wasn't until Ruanruan escaped from Qiangyuan, was abducted on a stowaway cruise ship, and jumped into the sea to commit suicide. He returned to Qiangyuan with the body in his arms and cried bitterly for three days, that the truth was discovered in the surveillance tape.
It was Yu Chengcheng who alienated Ruanruan and lied to Ruanruan that he wanted to kill her.
Huo Xu looked at Yu Chengcheng's kind and weak face in the surveillance video. He was kneeling in front of the limp corpse and suddenly burst into tears with a smile.
He is really stupid.
So stupid.
For such a duplicitous woman, he hurt the only girl in the world who loved him deeply.
What he thought was a kind and innocent appearance was actually dark and sinister.
He thought he was vicious and brainless, but his heart was really as clean as a piece of white paper.
Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a burning sensation in my fingertips.
Huo Xu frowned and was awakened by the pain. When he came to his senses, his finger had already been burned with a blister.
He quickly opened the faucet and rinsed it under clean water.
"Huo Xu, what's wrong with you?"
Hearing the commotion, Yu Ruoruan walked into the kitchen.
"It's okay, I got a blister on my hand."
Yu Ruanruan turned off the faucet, grabbed his hand with some distress, and blew on his fingertips, "Why are you so careless? Come here, I will give you some medicine."
Huo Xu felt warm breath brushing against his fingertips, and the burning pain instantly seemed to have been frozen and became insignificant.
He followed Yu Ruoruan to the living room obediently, watching the girl take out the medicine box and apply ointment for him seriously.
Her hair fell softly on both sides of her cheeks, making her originally delicate and three-dimensional facial lines look gentle and graceful. Huo Xu stared at the girl's profile in rapt attention.
He now felt that his painful heart no longer hurt so much, sweet and sour at the same time.
He is very grateful to Huo Xu in this world, who has warmed Ruanruan and healed Ruanruan. At least she is happy now.
She is no longer affected by the pain he once caused her.
He knew he was despicable, occupying that person's body and enjoying the immediate results, but he couldn't let go or leave.
After Yu Ruoruan applied the ointment on him, she put a layer of band-aid on him and said, "Okay, your injury has not healed yet. Just leave the cooking to your aunt and helpers. Don't worry about grandpa's nagging."
"okay."
Huo Xu's depressed mood finally returned to calm. At this time, the maid brought the meal he had prepared to the table.
He took Yu's limp hand, helped her sit in front of a chair in the restaurant, and said in a deep voice, "Try the food I cooked."
He picked up a fish cake and put it into Yu's soft bowl.
The smile on the corner of Yu Ruanruan's mouth suddenly froze. She looked at the fish cake in the bowl, slowly squeezed it tightly with the five fingers holding the chopsticks, but still picked up the fish cake and took a bite.
"What's wrong? Does it taste bad?" Huo Xu suddenly became nervous.
In fact, he has always been good at cooking. Since Huo Xu in this world dotes on Ruanruan so much, he must often cook for Ruanruan.
Is there something wrong with this dish that makes Ruanruan suspicious?
"No."
Yu Ruanruan chewed the fresh fish cakes and smiled slightly, "It's delicious."
Hearing her praise, Huo Xu felt relieved, and then brought her some other dishes.
Yu Ruanruan ate all the vegetables in the bowl and was not picky at all.
After eating, she looked at Huo Xu and suddenly said, "I remember you used to like to put ginger in fish cakes, why didn't you put it in this time?"
In fact, Huo Xu's mood had always been a little tense. When he heard her question, he said, "Don't you like ginger? So I removed it this time."
"So you know..."
Yu Ruanruan suddenly murmured something like this for no reason. She rubbed her lower abdomen with one hand and rubbed her eyes with the other, "I didn't sleep well last night. I'm a little sleepy. I went upstairs to take a nap at noon."
"Okay." Huo Xu stood up and tried to help the girl, but she dodged him without leaving any trace.
Yu Ruoruan held her belly and slowly went upstairs.
It wasn't until she returned to the room, closed the door, and lay on her side on the bed that a tear fell from the corner of her eye.
