Chapter 10: 10

The sun was scorching hot in the afternoon, and the ground was steaming hot, making people feel uneasy.

Zhao Yuxi discovered tree shades in the desolate suburbs. She removed her coat and sat on the ground on a cushion.

She removed her hat and continued to fan it as if it were a fan, despite the fact that the heat had not been reduced in any way.

Her hair was wet with sweat and stuck to the side of her face and neck, her face was flushed from the sun, her clothes were muddy, and she was in a state of embarrassment.

She was only able to plant 20 trees after a busy morning, and her hands were reddened by the wooden handle of the hoe. If it goes on like this, her hands will definitely grow calluses.

Zhao Yuxi clenched her teeth in rage.

The most humiliating part is that she must dig a hole for each tree, plant it, and bury it.

When will she finish planting the remaining 280?

Qiao Xi pushed Lu Huo in the hospital, and the two followed the little girl.

The little girl walked to the elevator, but she didn’t know how to use it, so she turned around and walked back to the stairs.

Qiao Xi frowned as she led Lu Huo, who couldn’t walk to the stairs.

“Why are you following her?” Lu Huo had just noticed Qiao Xi following the little girl.

“Didn’t you just see her running out of the ward by herself? She’s so young, how dangerous is it for her to run around?”

“We must look after the children.” Qiao Xi pushed him open the back stairs door.

Lu Huo pursed his lips, but the doubts in his heart remained.

Qiao Xi noticed the little girl sitting on the stairs as soon as the door was opened. The little girl’s hands were holding her legs, her eyes were red, and she was crying softly.

The little girl was startled when she saw someone approaching. She shrank into a small ball in fear, resting her head on her knees and wishing to be invisible.

Qiao Xi extended her hand to Lu Huo.

“What?” said the handsome young man in the wheelchair.

“Bring it here, the thing I just gave you.”

Lu Huo took a small clip from his trousers pocket, which Qiao Xi had purchased before leaving the mall. She asked him to hold it for her because she didn’t have any pockets on her dress.

In the palm of her hand, he placed a small clip inlaid with two crystals in the shape of strawberries.

Qiao Xi’s hands are lovely, soft and fair, with light pink fingertips. These are pampered hands, and the small clip is placed in the palm of her hand, which looks stunning.

Then Lu Huo noticed her approaching the little girl with the small clip.

The little girl felt someone beside her and raised her head in surprise to find a beautiful sister sitting beside her.

“I’ll give it to you.” Bao Fu copied some information about the little girl from Zhao Yuxi’s system after Qiao Xi handed her the small clip in her hand.

“Does sister know me?” Huang Lili is the name of the little girl. This year, she is only in the second grade of primary school. She is thin and has pale lips. She spoke lifelessly and sluggishly.

She, like Qiao Xi, has heart disease and recently required surgery.

“Yes, I recognize you; your name is Lili, and you are a good girl.”

“I can’t accept that from sister.” Huang Lili reluctant to take her gaze away from the beautiful crystal clip, but she knew she couldn’t just accept a stranger’s gifts.

Qiao Xi curved her eyes, “You saved a kitten when you were out of school, the one that I lost accidentally.”

Little Lili, according to the information displayed by Bao Fu, oftenly feeds stray cats. In her hands, the child rescued a dying kitten.

“Thank you for saving it,” Qiao Xi said softly.

“Is the kitten yours?” asked little Lili, surprised.

“I lost it accidentally. Can you tell sister, why did you cry just now?” Qiao Xi coaxed Little Lili, stroked her soft hair.

Knowing that the beautiful sister in front of her is the kitten’s owner, Lili felt that the sister in front of her was nice. She cast a silent glance at Qiao Xi and then at Lu Huo, who was sitting in a wheelchair across the room.

“Don’t worry, tell sister; maybe I have a solution for you; you saved my cat; I owe you help.” Qiao Xi persuaded.

“I’m sick, and my parents are very sad,” little Lili said quietly.

“They must work hard every day to earn money to help me in healing.”

“We don’t have any money at home, and my father owes a lot of money to other uncles.”

“I don’t want to be treated for my illness.”

“A classmate at the same table told me that if I don’t get treatment, I will die. I’m not scared of death. I’m worried that I won’t be able to see my parents again.”

“However, my parents will not suffer if I die.”

Little Lili has a lot of worries, which, at her age, should be spent enjoying an innocent and lively childhood, but the disease is putting a lot of pressure on her little body.

“Sister understands. You helped me, sister will help you too,” Qiao Xi said as she placed the strawberry clip in Lili’s hair.

Kind and well-behaved children should be happy every day.

Lili was a little bewildered.

“You won’t die after the operation, and don’t say anything like that in the future.”

“When you are cured, you can always accompany your parents and do whatever you want,” Qiao Xi said, looking at the green energy on the back of her hand.

“When you grow up, what do you want to be?”

“Gourmet.” Little Lili was shy and embarrassed, and her voice was full of innocence and longing. “I want to eat a lot of tasty food.”

“When you grow up, you can travel all over the world and eat all kinds of food,” Qiao Xi said with a smile and a nod.

“I’m going to take my parents out to eat…”

Little Lili’s big red eyes were full of light, as was the back of her hand. It gradually illuminates with green energy.

Lu Huo sat in a wheelchair, quietly looking at Qiao Xi on the opposite stairwell.

He had no idea why Qiao Xi was looking for this little girl and comforting her, but she sat on the stairwell floor, her light blue skirt spread out and her long black and smooth hair hung down behind her. Her entire demeanor was incredibly gentle.

The happy voices of the two filled the empty back stairs as she lowered her brows and chatted with the little girl.

Lu Huo lowered his gaze, not daring to look any closer.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh as the green energy on the back of Little Lili’s hand skyrocketed, reaching 100%; children are easy to coax.

[Master, only when the green energy is less than 10% can the bad woman take it]

Bao Fu said in a baby voice

[The bad woman can’t take away the green energy now that it’s 100%]

Qiao Xi was surprised that the mission was so simple this time.

Little Lili suddenly approached Qiao Xi’s ear, stretched out a small hand, and covered her mouth. “Sister, that pretty brother is secretly watching you,” she said quietly.

Qiao Xi raised her eyes to meet Lu Huo’s dark eyes, and he calmly looked away.

Her beautiful lips twitched up, imitating little Lili‘s appearance, and leaning close to her ear, her voice was not small enough for Lu Huo to not hear, “Go and ask brother, is sister good-looking?”

Instigated by Qiao Xi, she really walked over, and she said innocently, “Brother, isn’t sister beautiful?”

The young man in the wheelchair looked at the girl who was trembling with laughter on the opposite side, and the tips of his ears under his short black hair turned red quietly.

Little Lili’s parents had just returned from outside, and the two stood at the ward’s door, unaware of the fact that their daughter had just left.

They both had sad expressions on their faces.

“Just like what I said,” the middle-aged woman gritted her teeth.

“I think of a way, even if I have to sell my blood, I will collect enough money,” the man said, his hands trembling slightly.

The middle-aged woman’s eyes were sour, and she gathered her hair on the side of her face and decided, “Or we will sell the house in the countryside later.”

The family’s last refuge is a house in the countryside. It’s not a large space, but it can fit a family of three.

The man’s hands trembled once more, his lips moved, but he couldn’t speak. “Let’s sell it,” he said, lowering his head and weakly slumping his shoulders.

The room’s door swung open unexpectedly.

The husband and wife stared in astonishment at the beautiful small face that appeared suddenly behind the ward’s door, “You…”

“I will pay for Little Lili’s operation, and I will also ask someone contact the hospital as soon as possible to arrange the operation.”

“As for the money, just treat it as if I lent it to you,” Qiao Xi said flatly.

“You can make an IOU and repay it gradually in the future.”

Qiao Xi will not take any action against them if they do not repay the money. She wants to help Little Lili, and the IOU is just in case there is any trouble in the future; after all, she doesn’t know the two of them.

The man and the middle-aged woman exchanged shocked glances; they couldn’t believe it; this was a god sent from heaven to help their family!

Knowing that Qiao Xi was leaving, Little Lili reluctantly hooked her finger and asked, “Sister, are you leaving?”

“When you get better, go to school, don’t think about death or dying, and grow up well,” Qiao Xi said, touching her head.

“If bad people come to do bad things to you and say bad things to you, just tell your parents, you understand?”

Little Lili nodded obediently, her soft fingers encircling Qiao Xi, and she said, “Sister, I want to kiss you.”

Qiao Xi was stunned, and she subconsciously glanced at Lu Huo next to her.

“What are you looking at?”

The young man shifted his gaze away, as if he were a disturbed fish.

Qiao Xi pursed her lips and lowered her head.

“Goodbye, beautiful sister,” Little Lili said as she gently kissed Qiao Xi’s cheek.

Her heart’s tip went soft, as if it had been soaked in warm honey.

Initially, Qiao Xi thought that stopping Zhao Yuxi’s target mission would be a difficult and forced task, but she has now discovered that it is quite interesting.

Zhao Yuxi, who was planting trees in the deserted suburbs under the scorching sun, heard the system announce:

[The mission failed, you’ll face punishment]

“What?” “I’m still planting trees, why did the mission fail?” said Zhao Yuxi, pausing with his hoe.

[Plagued by bad luck for a week]

“What?”

Zhao Yuxi was completely taken aback this time; how could this be? Is there something wrong with the system? Furthermore, why should she be punished?

When Qiao Xi sent Lu Huo back to the Lu family’s room after leaving the hospital, it was already evening.

“I am very happy today,” she says, already remembering the layout of the room.

She arrived at Lu Huo at ten a.m. today. It’s now six o’clock at night, and she’s absorbed nearly eight hours of golden energy. Furthermore, she took advantage of every opportunity to touch Lu Huo, especially on the way back, when she pretended to be asleep and rested her head on Lu Huo’s shoulder, and the golden energy was continuously absorbed by her.

Now she has 36% gold energy, which means that she can live for 108 hours, enough for more than four days.

Qiao Xi couldn’t be happier.

“It’s time for you to return.” The girl stared at him with burning eyes, his expression unnaturally flickering, and his ears were a little hot.

Qiao Xi had already taken in enough for the day, so she nodded obediently and did not stay rudely, “I will come to you tomorrow.”

Lu Huo did not respond.

“Young Master, the Steward brought Dr. Jin to see your feet,” the maid said as she knocked on the door. “They are at the courtyard gate, and now they are coming in,” she reasoned.

Qiao Xi was taken aback, and it was too late for her to escape. “Where am I hiding?

Lu Yuqing’s cold face seems calm, and he was amused to see the anxious eyes of the girl who had always been mischievous.

“Go to the study.”

“Everything in your study is visible at a glance, and you can’t hide anything.” Qiao Xi gave him a disgusted look.

Lu Huo remained silent. He walked into the study first, turning his wheelchair. He switched on the light and walked over to the desk. “You hide beneath the desk. Don’t come out later.”

Qiao Xi had no choice but to nod, walk over, and crawl under the desk.

The girl’s skirt spread out and exposed, Lu Huo bent down and wanted to help her hide it.

“Young Master Huo, you’re in the study.” Lu Huo’s body froze when he heard Steward Lu’s voice from behind him.

His expression remained unchanged. He sat back down, holding the corner of the girl’s skirt in his hand and tucking it under the desk.

“What are you picking up, Young Master Huo? I’ll help you.” The Steward took a step forward.

Lu Huo shifted the wheelchair to the back of the desk, directly in front of Qiao Xi, his cold face dimmed. “No, I picked it up; do you have anything to do with me?”

“Master called up Dr. Jin to examine your feet.” Even if Lu Huo’s feet are unable to walk, they must not be allowed to shrink or worsen.

“Young Master Huo,” said Dr. Jin as he entered the room.

There were four people in the small study room, and Qiao Xi was so small she could hide under the desk.

She suddenly remembered that her phone was outside, so she reached out to pull Lu Huo’s trousers, hoping to catch his attention.

Lu Huo lowered his gaze to scrutinize Qiao Xi beneath the table.

The girl had snow-white skin, black hair, clear eyes, and white teeth. Her beautiful big eyes winked at him as she hugged her legs pitifully and squatted under the table.

She’s like a seductive little goblin.

Lu Huo was expressionless but his fingers clenched tightly on the armrest.

Qiao Xi was nervous, so she let go of Lu Huo’s trousers and instead held Lu Huo’s feet in her soft little hands.

The young man in the wheelchair tensed.

Qiao Xi was muttering under the desk, “Mobile phone, my mobile phone…”

She didn’t realize it at the time, but her body was close to Lu Huo’s leg due to her urgency.

The young man’s black trousers was pressed against the slender curves. Lu Huo’s eyes darkened as he looked at the light misty blue clinging to his trousers.

“Master Huo, what’s the matter?”

“It’s okay, my legs are a little itchy,” Lu Huo said as he lowered his gaze.

Qiao Xi, who was hiding beneath the table, noticed the small leaf sprout on top of his head popping out again, shaking violently.
