Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Tang Xi unconsciously fell asleep. She stretched out on all fours on the bed like a puppy. When she woke up, she found her neck couldn’t be moved. She groaned and slowly reached out for her cell phone only to find that it was 2:30 am.

But Qiao Liang hadn’t come back!

What happened to him?! She called Qiao Liang but he seemed to be busy and didn’t answer the call...

Tang Xi called Qiao Liang a few more times, and someone finally picked up the call. Qiao Liang’s tired voice rang. “You haven’t slept?”

Tang Xi cried when she heard Qiao Liang’s voice. “Ah Liang... Why haven’t you come back?! I’m dying...”

“What happened to you?” Qiao Liang who was reading documents immediately stood up, took his coat and walked outside. Tang Xi sobbed. “Forget it. It seems that you’re busy. I’ll call Jing. Get your things done first.”

Tang Xi said and hung up on him. Qiao Liang frowned and took a look at Lu Li. “Xixi seems to have something wrong. I’ll go back and have a look. Can you handle the job yourself?”

“Yes, it’s almost done. Go ahead.” Lu Li rubbed between his eyebrows and took a sip of black coffee. “Thank you for your help.”

Qiao Liang smiled and walked outside. Looking at his receding back, Lu Li turned up the corners of his mouth, put away the files and murmured with a smile, “I have to say I’m no match for you. You’re really a workaholic!’

Tang Xi immediately called Xiao Jing after hanging up on Qiao Liang. Awakened from the dream, Xiao Jing thought Tang Xi was sleepwalking when he received her call. He said sleepily, “Alright, I’ll treat you to lobster tomorrow. Now go to sleep, good girl.”

Tang Xi was at a loss as to whether she should cry or laugh when she heard Xiao Jing’s words. Why did he think she called him just for food? Was she a foodie in his mind?!

“Jing... SOS!” Tang Xi said helplessly.

“Come on, you’re so desperate to eat lobster? SOS? Shall I call for takeout for you? Where is Qiao Liang? It’s midnight! No matter how much you want to eat lobster, you have to wait until...”

“I don’t want to eat lobster! I need your help!” Tang Xi couldn’t bear his nagging anymore! Neither her waist nor her neck could move... she felt she was dying!

Xiao Jing immediately sobered up and asked seriously, “What’s wrong?”

Tang Xi cried. “My dear brother, could you please just stop asking and come to my room? I can’t move my body and I can’t even hold my cell phone. Hurry up, come save me!”

Xiao Jing immediately snapped up and put on his clothes. “Where is Qiao Liang?”

“He is not around.”

Xiao Jing said when he reached the door of Tang Xi’s room, “Open the door.”

Tang Xi cried. “I can’t move!” God, how could she forget about this? Jing couldn’t get in without the room card! But she couldn’t get up to open the door for her!

How embarrassing this was!

“Just a moment. I’ll call the hotel staff to open the door.” Xiao Jing said and turned to run downstairs. He finally persuaded two waiters to come to Tang Xi’s room with him, but they insisted that he should prove his relationship with Tang Xi. Xiao Jing tried to calm down and patiently explained to them, but they still didn’t believe him. He couldn’t help but yell at them. “Can you take the responsibility if my sister has anything wrong in the room?!”

The two waiters looked at each other with doubt...

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Liang cold voice rang behind Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing was relieved to see Qiao Liang. He hurriedly took Qiao Liang’s hand and said, “Xixi seems to have something wrong, but they just refused to open the door for me. Come on, open the door.”

Qiao Liang took a cold stare at the waiters, narrowed his eyes and suddenly reached out to take their name tags away from their clothes, saying coldly, “Go away.”

The two waiters took a look at Qiao Liang, and wanted to get their name tags back. But intimidated by Qiao Liang’s frightening aura, they gave up and quickly ran away.

Qiao Liang opened the door and hastened to enter the door and Xiao Jing followed him only to see Tang Xi was lying on the bed in a strange position and sobbing aggrievedly. Qiao Liang was at a loss what to do when he saw this scene...

So she couldn’t move because she fell asleep in this position and her body went numb?!

Xiao Jing burst into laughter seeing this scene. “Rourou, are you a puppy? How can you sleep like this?”

Tang Xi glared at Xiao Jing and then looked pitifully at Qiao Liang. The latter walked up to her and was about to carry her up from the bed, but just when he touched her, she stopped him.

Tang Xi screamed. “No, no, no! Don’t touch me! This really hurts!”

Qiao Liang, “...” Now he really didn’t know what to do.

“Just a moment. I’ll take you to the hospital.” Qiao Liang frowned and said gently, “You’ll only feel more pain if you keep lying like this.”

“I know, but it really hurts when you touch me!” Tang Xi’s eyes were full of tears and she looked so aggrieved.

Qiao Liang frowned and was at a loss what to do. Only matters concerning Tang Xi could trouble him.

Xiao Jing frowned. “Let’s help her turn over, and then you can give her massage. That will help.”

Qiao Liang thought it was a good idea and the two of them went up to help Tang Xi turn over, but as soon as they touched Tang Xi, she screamed. Qiao Liang immediately stopped, but Xiao Jing snapped, “Shut up.” Then he suddenly turned Tang Xi over.

Tang Xi, “Ouch... Xiao Jing! I’m gonna kill you!”

Qiao Liang, “...” If eyes could kill, Xiao Jing had been killed by him for a hundred times.

Xiao Jing, “...Haha, don’t blame me. I just take you as a little puppy!”

“You were hurting her!” Qiao Liang glared at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing glared back at him. “No matter how long you hesitated for, it wouldn’t help her! I was helping her.”

Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes and Xiao Jing stared at him. “What?”

“She said it hurt!” Qiao Liang looked coldly at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing took a breath. “Come on, don’t take your girlfriend as a little girl! We had to turn her over! If she said...”Xiao Jing paused and said, “Well, forget it. Now you can give her a massage.”

Tang Xi, coming back to herself, looked at Qiao Liang and blinked. It had been quite a while before she sat up, turned her eyes to Xiao Jing and said, “Jing, have you learned TCM?”

Xiao Jing looked at her in surprise. Qiao Liang frowned and Tang Xi shrugged and said with a smile, “Great, it doesn’t hurt now!”

That being said, she kept cursing 008 in her heart. Damn it, why didn’t 008 show up until she made a show of herself?!
