Chapter 1889 - 1884: Subcontracting
Guaiguai and Qiaoqiao turned their heads to look at Hu Xiaobei and Cao Lingbing...
Seeing the nervous expressions on Hu Xiaobei and Cao Lingbing’s faces, they exchanged a glance, chuckled softly, and gently teased, "You don’t need to be so nervous, although her health issue is significant, we can handle it."
"Exactly, you’re making us nervous too!"
Hearing their teasing, Cao Lingbing bit her soft lip and urgently asked again, "Really? Are you sure you can make Yao Ling recover?"
"Of course, it’s true!"
After saying this, Guaiguai looked at Hu Xiaobei and curiously asked, "If I guessed right, she previously overexerted almost all of her life force. Why did she do that?"
Guaiguai was somewhat puzzled.
In her view, generally speaking, she wouldn’t go to such extremes.
Because Guaiguai knew that she, like herself and Qiaoqiao, was very fast, making it easy to escape. Therefore, it really wasn’t necessary to fight to the bitter end with others.
Hearing Guaiguai’s incredulous inquiry, Hu Xiaobei turned to look at Cao Lingbing, knowing it was better for Cao Lingbing to answer this question.
When Hu Xiaobei turned to look at Cao Lingbing, Cao Lingbing spoke up with a slightly hoarse voice, "It’s all my fault!"
After saying this, she detailed everything that had happened before...
After narrating, she looked deeply at the unconscious Yao Ling, "It was really all because of me before. If it weren’t for me, she wouldn’t be like this now, so if you have a way, please make her wake up, even if it costs me my life, I’m willing."
By the end, Cao Lingbing almost knelt down.
Seeing Cao Lingbing’s earnestness, they quickly moved to her side.
"What sacrifice of life."
"Exactly, that’s too dramatic!"
Upon reaching Cao Lingbing, they quickly waved their hands...
After hearing Cao Lingbing’s story about herself and Yao Ling, they were truly moved.
So, they absolutely wouldn’t let anything happen to Cao Lingbing.
"No need to sacrifice your life?"
Glancing at the uncertain Cao Lingbing, they chuckled, "Of course not! We can handle her problem! To be honest, we’ve never seen such pure feelings before, so we hope you’ll tell us more about your stories in the future."
"Exactly!"
"Sure, when there’s a chance, I’ll tell you more!"
"It’s a deal then!"
With that, they turned back to the bedside...
...
Knowing they were about to start treatment, Hu Xiaobei took Cao Lingbing outside.
As Hu Xiaobei took her hand, Cao Lingbing hesitated a little, but still followed him out.
She knew that treatment really required silence, so staying here would only disturb them.
Outside the room, after closing the door, Hu Xiaobei turned to Cao Lingbing and teased lazily, "Now you can relax, right?"
"Mmm!"
Cao Lingbing smiled brightly.
Seeing Cao Lingbing relax, Hu Xiaobei was about to say something when he suddenly noticed her complexion seemed off.
Frowning, Hu Xiaobei quickly reached out his hand.
Soon, Hu Xiaobei furrowed his brow and said, "You need to go back and rest well now."
"I’m fine, I’m really fine."
Hearing Hu Xiaobei, Cao Lingbing quickly shook her head...
She didn’t want to leave now because she needed to keep an eye on developments here.
"You say you’re fine? You have a serious issue right now!"
After being refused, Hu Xiaobei’s brow furrowed deeply.
By observing, Hu Xiaobei could tell her condition wasn’t good, so he quickly checked her pulse.
After taking her pulse, Hu Xiaobei found that her problem was indeed severe.
Previously, she hadn’t fully recovered, and now she’s deeply worried, which has severely worsened her condition, so she needs proper rest now...
"I’m really fine, I’m just a bit thirsty. I’ll drink more water and I’ll be good!"
Hearing Cao Lingbing’s nonchalant explanation, Hu Xiaobei furrowed his brows and replied seriously, "It’s not just thirst; you’re experiencing internal heat, which is why you feel parched. Trust me, go back and rest well, or else when Yao Ling wakes up, you’ll faint again."
"But..."
Knowing she was still reluctant to rest, Hu Xiaobei emphasized, "No buts, you don’t want Yao Ling to just wake up and then get anxious because you fainted, causing her condition to worsen, right?"
"Of course, I don’t want that!"
She quickly shook her head vigorously.
Seeing her shake her head like a rattle, Hu Xiaobei quickly said, "Since that’s the case, go and rest well now. I promise you, as soon as Yao Ling wakes up, I’ll come get you, alright."
"You promise? The moment Yao Ling wakes up, you’ll fetch me."
"I promise!"
"Alright then!"
With that said, she turned and walked next door...
Seeing her still a bit reluctant, Hu Xiaobei rubbed his nose helplessly.
Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei saw her finally enter the room.
"Finally settled!"
Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, Hu Xiaobei had been truly worried she’d continue being stubborn...
Her current physical state was really poor, so staying here was truly a torment.
...
"Xiaobei, come here!"
Hearing someone calling him, Hu Xiaobei turned around to see Guaiguai and Qiaoqiao waving him over.
"What’s up?"
"Don’t worry, it’s nothing major, but we need to head back to retrieve some herbs for assistance."
"What herbs do you need, should I go get them instead?"
Hu Xiaobei thought he’d be quicker, so he offered.
"This...that works!"
Knowing that Hu Xiaobei was indeed more suitable, they didn’t insist, agreeing directly.
After learning from them what herbs were needed, Hu Xiaobei quickly vanished...
Five minutes later, Hu Xiaobei returned to the cliff area.
As soon as he approached, Hu Xiaobei heard a lot of noise. After taking a closer look, he found that Hei and Xiaobai were busy cutting a mountain path...
Looking around and not seeing the Treasure-hunting Rabbit at all, Hu Xiaobei shook his head gently...
"Seems like that Kenghuo has subcontracted the task I gave him to others again. On second thought, it’s normal! After all, it’s a Kenghuo. So it’s always pulling tricks!"
Thinking about how the Treasure-hunting Rabbit was such a trickster, Hu Xiaobei easily accepted its behavior...
