C57 Bold Decisions

Seeing Lan Xi suddenly sit up so quickly, Xiao Yunyi frowned in displeasure.

He reached out his hand to push her back onto the bed, but Lan Xi leaned his body to avoid his hand. Lan Xi originally had a lot of things she wanted to tell him, but facing him now, she didn't know what to say.

After some thought, she asked again, "What happened yesterday?"

Xiao Yunyi handed Lan Xi another cup of water. After a moment of hesitation, he said —

"When I went in yesterday, you were already unconscious on the ground. At that time, I saw that you were in a very bad condition. I was afraid that I wouldn't make it to the hospital before bringing you here. This is where my personal doctor, Dr. Sun, lives. The doctor washed your stomach last night, and you slept until this morning. When I woke up, you were holding your head in your hands. The doctor gave you a sedative and you didn't wake up until just now. "

With just a few words, Xiao Yunyi recounted the soul-stirring events that Lan Xi had experienced in the short period of ten hours from last night to this morning.

Lan Xi subconsciously gripped the cup in her hand. Slowly, her memories returned. She remembered what had happened last night.

Lan Xi covered her chest with a hand, a lingering fear in her heart.

Last night's situation, where he was completely powerless and wanted to ask for help but was unable to do so, was too terrifying. The feeling of suffocation that followed made her feel as if she had stepped into hell. As Lan Xi thought about this, her eyes became more and more blurred. Her expression also became worse.

Xiao Yunyi noticed the change in Lan Xi and returned her hand to the cup.

He met Lan Xi's gaze and said, "The doctor wants you to drink more water to increase your detoxification."

Lan Xi lowered her head to drink, and the room became quiet again.

The atmosphere between the two of them didn't seem any better. Xiao Yunyi wanted to change the situation, but he didn't know what to say.

Helpless, he could only say, "Don't worry, I will find out who poisoned you. During this time, you will be recuperating in the hospital, and I will accompany you here."

Lan Xi raised her head and looked at him in shock. "What poison? Are you saying that I became like that last night because someone poisoned me?" But who was it that wanted to harm me? "

"Didn't I just say it? The doctor told you to drink more water to help expel the poison... " Xiao Yunyi was also slightly surprised.

"I thought it was just a formality. Besides, doctors don't always tell their patients to drink more water and promote detoxification. I never thought that I would actually be poisoned. "

Xiao Yunyi felt a little helpless. "Are you really …"

"Don't try to change the subject." Lan Xi interrupted him. "Since you said I was poisoned, then what poison did I get?" "It's been a long time. The report should be out by now."

Seeing that Xiao Yunyi's lips were tightly pursed, Lan Xi continued, "Don't try to hide it from me. If you don't tell me, then I'll go investigate. No matter what, I'm still an assassin. And because of this poison, I've already become like this. Don't I have the right to know? However, the person who poisoned me should have wanted me to die. "

"Don't talk nonsense."

Lan Xi's words touched Xiao Yunyi, especially when she said she was going to die. Xiao Yunyi could not accept it.

"I'm not spouting nonsense. I'm speaking the truth." Lan Xi's tone was ice-cold. "If you hadn't brought me to the hospital yesterday, I would have turned you into a corpse."

"I already told you, don't think too much."

"Then tell me the truth."

The two of them began to argue, and they looked at each other, neither giving in to the other.

Lan Xi suddenly felt tired. She hated quarrelling like this.

Their relationship had always been tense, and now that they were quarrelling like this, there was also the cold war and imprisonment from before. It made her physically and mentally exhausted. Lan Xi felt that she had been wrong from the start. She shouldn't have stayed here after her injuries had healed. She should have left.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have clearly understood her feelings for him and wouldn't have fallen into such a dilemma.

Looking at Xiao Yunyi, he was still expressionless, causing one to be unable to tell what he was thinking.

"Forget it. If you don't want to say it, then forget it." I want to rest a bit more. Lan Xi shook her head and tucked herself back into the blanket. She then turned around and faced Xiao Yunyi. With a muffled voice, she said, "Don't worry about me. Go back to your work. I have nothing to do with you. I'll take care of it myself."

Xiao Yunyi was very angry at the sudden change in Lan Xi, but he didn't know who he should be angry at.

He guessed that Lan Xi's poisoning must have something to do with him. From the fact that they had dinner together, he could tell that that person was definitely targeting Lan Xi as long as Lan Xi was in trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let both him and Mu Yaran off.

Furthermore, that person wanted Lan Xi's life most likely because of him. There was no reason for him to think so.

Seeing such a disappointed Lan Xi, Xiao Yunyi couldn't help but feel annoyed.

"It's Aconitum." But he still said, "It's a very toxic Chinese medicine. If you use too much of the drug, you will be poisoned, and the symptoms of poisoning are exactly what you showed yesterday. This medicine has an extremely urgent effect, which is why you had the disease in such a short period of time. "

Lan Xi turned to look at him. "So that person wants me to die. That person knew that no one would come to find me at night, so he specially poisoned me at night in order to let me die without a trace in the room. He still had no way of asking for help, because I no longer had any strength left to walk out that door. "

Lan Xi looked at the man before her as she spoke. "But …"

"But he didn't expect that I would come to see you tonight."

This was the third time Xiao Yunyi said this. However, this time, when he faced Lan Xi, he experienced the panic and fear in his heart back then.

Lan Xi sniggered at herself. "Thank you for coming to find me and saving my life."

"Lan Xi!" Xiao Yunyi said in a low voice, "I will find out. I won't let anyone hurt you." I will take care of you, help you avenge your parents, find your brother, and fulfill all of your wishes. But you have to stay with me. "

Lan Xi could feel an indescribable feeling coming from Xiao Yunyi. She didn't dare to imagine how Xiao Yunyi had watched her vital signs fade away. She was afraid that the truth was beyond her imagination.

However, she was someone who had died once, so she made a bold decision in her heart.

Lan Xi closed her eyes and then opened them. She looked like she had made a decision. She looked into Xiao Yunyi's eyes and said, "I have something to tell you. It's very important, very important."
