BXBX NOVEL Chapter 173 - So Sweet
The medical group that Su Qingsang belonged to had been working around the clock. They saved the lives of those who were still breathing when they were dug out.
Some cases, however, were beyond their capabilities.
During those three days, Huo Jinyao had stayed with her the entire time. When she performed surgery, he helped deal with the injured. He served as a volunteer and was busy all day long.
Aside from him, there was also Qiu Yanbo. He was busy and did quite a lot of things as well.
When the three days ended, the rescue efforts came to an end. The doctors from Qingyuan County took over the job. Su Qingsang and her co-workers had gotten a notice that they could go back to Lin City.
Su Qingsang had taken the car with her medical team to the rescue site, but she drove back with Huo Jinyao.
Throughout this period, she didn’t sleep well a single night. As soon as they got on the car, Huo Jinyao considerately adjusted her seat lower.
“It takes more than two hours to get to Lin City. You can get some shut-eye.” Huo Jinyao said.
“What about you? Aren’t you sleepy?” Su Qingsang asked.
“I’m not sleepy,” Huo Jinyao replied.
Huo Jingyao found a blanket to tuck her in and said, “Go to sleep.”
Su Qingsang cast a look at him with no rejection. She yawned and laid down. She fell asleep soon.
When she woke up, she found that she was already in her home in Lin City.
She slept so deeply that she didn’t know how she entered her house.
She felt a bit embarrassed and looked around, but Huo Jinyao wasn’t there.
She came out of the bedroom and still did not see Huo Jinyao. The hourly employee, Sister Lu, was cooking in the kitchen.
“Sister Lu, where is Huo Jinyao?” Su Qingsang asked.
“He might be in his study.” Sister Lu kept on working and said, “Mr. Huo told me to call him when it was lunchtime, which is right now.”
Su Qingsang nodded to Sister Lu and then entered the study.
Huo Jinyao seemed quite busy. He sat behind the desk, with his laptop powered on before him and a pile of documents at hand.
He was sitting sideways and staring at the screen, so he didn’t notice her come in.
“Okay, do what I said. Change the price in the bidding document. I am not satisfied with what they did before.
“And the thing we spoke about previously?” Huo Jinyao asked.
From the corner of his eyes, he noticed Su Qingsang. “Talk to you later,” he spoke in a low voice and hung up the phone.
“Awake?” Huo Jinyao asked, turning his attention to her.
“Yeah.” Su Qingsang took a few steps forward and looked at the documents on the desk.
There were countless lines of texts and a variety of reports. She felt dazed by her mere glimpse at them.
“Busy?” Su Qingsang asked.
“No,” Huo Jinyao replied.
“Did the rescue work delay your work?” Su Qingsang asked.
A sense of guilt emerged in Su Qingsang.
“No, it didn’t delay my work,” Huo Jinyao replied.
Huo Jinyao couldn’t tell Su Qingsang that he delayed his work in Rong City just to rescue people with her.
Reaching out his hands and pulling Su Qingsang’s hand toward him, Huo Jinyao gazed at Su Qingsang’s face.
Thanks to ample sleep, he found Su Qingsang’s complexion had gotten better now.
“Well, you look better now. I hope you go to sleep early to revive.”
Su Qingsang didn’t debate with him but wanted to remind him to take care of himself. Then, her cell phone rang.
It was Su Yuxin.
“Sister, are you ok?” Although he had heard about the disaster in Qingyuan County, he didn’t know Su Qingsang had been there until a few moments ago.
When he found out she was there, he had been totally stunned and immediately contacted with Su Qingsang.
Su Qingsang was moved by Su Yuxin’s concern. “Thank you, Yuxin. I’m fine.”
