Chapter 412

Shu Xia habitually did not dodge, and even leaned in closer.

After a short while, Qiao Muting, who was holding Shu Xia, finally breathed steadily and evenly as he fell asleep.

——

The next morning, Qiao Muting said he had a three-hour video conference; after hearing this, Shu Xia said she would go to the hotel's aquarium to take a look.

While Qiao Muting was attending the video conference, Shu Xia carried her bag and walked out.

She closed the room door very gently.

Qiao Muting glanced over, then withdrew his gaze.

After getting off the elevator, Shu Xia followed the staff's directions to the aquarium.

From childhood to adulthood, she rarely had time to visit an aquarium; perhaps it was one summer vacation in high school when Shu Xuan took them all to go once, but the tickets were too expensive for them at that time.

Later, after starting university, she had even less time, as she had to work various jobs to earn tuition and living expenses.

After entering, she took quite a few photos and sent them one by one to their family WeChat group.

The few people in the group all saw them, one after another liking them and saying they were well-shot, telling Shu Xia to enjoy herself.

The hotel's aquarium was very large, and by the time she finished strolling through it slowly, three hours had already passed.

As she left the aquarium and intended to return to the hotel, Qiao Muting called.

"I am going to the hospital, are you coming?"

Shu Xia thought about how they were returning to Jing City tomorrow, and she should go see Song Ziqi today, "Okay, I'll wait for you in front of the hotel."

After waiting for about a few minutes, Qiao Muting walked out.

Seeing Qiao Muting, Shu Xia handed him one of the grilled sausages in her hand, "Do you want to eat one?"

When she came out of the aquarium, she saw grilled sausages that were grilled to perfection and smelled delicious, so she bought two right away.

They were still hot.

Qiao Muting lowered his eyes to look at the grilled sausage in front of him, his thin lips parting slightly, "I don't like to eat this, you eat it."

Shu Xia said okay, then started eating it directly.

This kind of grilled sausage was only suitable for an ordinary person like her to eat; it was normal that the pampered Qiao Muting wouldn't like it.

Since returning from the sea yesterday until now, his attitude had become even more inscrutable than before.

Fortunately, she was not the type of person who liked to overthink things.

Just pretend she hadn't noticed anything.

After waiting for two minutes, the car drove over; the grilled sausage wasn't finished yet, so she said to Qiao Muting, "Sorry to keep you waiting for another two minutes, I'll finish the sausage first."

"Mm."

Qiao Muting stood to the side; he didn't get in the car first, but stood by and waited.

Shu Xia ate quickly, finishing the rest in a few bites.

"It's okay now."

Shu Xia signaled to Qiao Muting that they could get in the car.

After the two of them got into the car, they didn't say anything, and the car was unusually quiet.

The driver had been driving them both for the past few days; previously, the atmosphere between the two in the car had been very good, not like now, which made one feel as if they had run into some problems.

The driver didn't dare to make a sound at all.

Just like that, they went all the way to the hospital without a word.

When they entered the hospital room, Song Ziqi was on the phone, likely chatting with a classmate.

Upon seeing them, she immediately said a few brief words to her classmate and hung up the phone directly.
