Chapter 517 — Feng Xiaoxiao's Mischievous Scheme: "Ah—!"
The Blossom Guardian · Page 1 of 2
Wei Zhao was pulled back to his senses by Feng Xiaoxiao's scream, and to his relief, she had truly woken up. His hands, for their part, were still gripping both of hers.
"You're awake?" Seeing that Feng Xiaoxiao was all right, Wei Zhao let out a breath of relief.
"What... what did you do to me?" The moment Feng Xiaoxiao woke, she found herself lying naked on the bed with Wei Zhao "asleep" at her side—and, most terrifying of all, there were traces of blood between her legs and on the bedsheets!
And so Feng Xiaoxiao, convinced that she had already been violated, screamed at once.
Only, Wei Zhao was somewhat baffled by it. He stared blankly at Feng Xiaoxiao: "Me? What did I do to you?"
"I... you..." Feng Xiaoxiao was rather annoyed. Surely Wei Zhao was not going to deny it? She had been lying naked in the same bed as him, and he still asked what he had done? Was that not infuriating?
Though Feng Xiaoxiao knew her days were numbered, she was no loose girl, and naturally she could not simply act as if nothing had happened!
"I what? I'm what!" Wei Zhao was a little angry. He had saved Feng Xiaoxiao's life, and the girl actually thought he had taken advantage of her! He had been downgraded because of her, and he had not even settled accounts with her yet! So he said: "Without me, you would have been dead long ago!"
"Ah!" Feng Xiaoxiao was startled, and suddenly remembered what had happened before! The moment she opened her eyes she had found herself lying naked with Wei Zhao, with blood on her body and on the sheets, and so she had been a little dazed at once! Instinctively she had assumed that something had happened between her and Wei Zhao, but after hearing his words and thinking it over carefully, she recalled that she had been taking a bath, that her body had then felt terribly unwell, and that she had fainted...
So it was Wei Zhao who had gotten her out of the bathroom and saved her? But how had Wei Zhao saved her? Even without having experienced it herself, Feng Xiaoxiao knew from the diary her mother had left behind that once those symptoms appeared, the illness had struck—which meant death was not far off, and no doctor, however skilled, could save her!
Feng Xiaoxiao's earlier cry for help had been an instinct born of the will to live; though she knew full well that she was going to die, who wants to die? Yet now she felt perfectly well, as though there were no bad symptoms at all. Could it be that Wei Zhao really had saved her?
"You... you saved me?" Feng Xiaoxiao asked, looking at Wei Zhao with hesitation.
"Must you ask such pointless questions?" Wei Zhao smiled bitterly.
"How... how did you save me?" Feng Xiaoxiao was a little curious. Hers was an incurable disease; though her body now felt fine, she still did not believe Wei Zhao could have saved her.
"No comment," Wei Zhao said mildly.
"Oh..." Feng Xiaoxiao did not press him further, but then she thought of the blood on her body and said: "Then what is this blood on me about? You really didn't... with me..."
"When I carried you in the bathroom, my arm got cut!" Wei Zhao raised his arm, only to discover, to his surprise, that the wound had already healed almost completely, leaving just a faint scar.
"Really?" Looking at the scar on Wei Zhao's arm, Feng Xiaoxiao thought it did not look like a fresh wound at all, and she grew suspicious at once: "Was this really just now?"
"Heh..." Wei Zhao shrugged and stood up with indifference. Whether Feng Xiaoxiao believed him or not mattered nothing at all to him: "Hurry up and put your clothes on, or when your father comes back he will think I really did do something to you."
"Ah!" Only then did Feng Xiaoxiao realize that she was still naked! And Wei Zhao had been standing in front of her all this time—had he not seen everything? Feng Xiaoxiao was instantly mortified: "You—turn around!"
