Chapter 367: 367. Lu Moqing is dead

In the latter part of the night, she suddenly woke up, her eyes still moist with tears as she opened them. She froze for a moment, lifting a hand to wipe her cheek, only to find it was wet from crying.

Her hand pressed against her heart, which was still pounding violently.

She had just dreamt that Lu Moqing had died.

His bloody body lying in front of her, the memory made her heart tremble uncontrollably.

Her gaze quickly darted to Lu Moqing, lying on the hospital bed; he was still sleeping peacefully, though his brow was furrowed deeply.

Looking up at the IV bag hanging from its stand, she saw that it was empty. At some point, a nurse had come in and removed the needle, but she had been completely unaware.

It seemed that she hadn’t really been keeping a close eye on Lu Moqing.

She sat on the recliner, blankly wiping her face, then let out a sudden laugh.

Perhaps, one day, she could truly let go of Lu Moqing.

By the time Lu Moqing woke up, the day had already dawned.

Sunlight streamed in through the white curtains, making it difficult for him to open his eyes.

He instinctively raised a hand to shield his eyes, but paused a second later and sat up abruptly, "Xuxu."

His gaze instinctively searched for Qiao Xu, soon finding her asleep in the recliner next to his bed, not having left after all.

He hesitated for a moment, then the corners of his mouth involuntarily curled upwards with a smile.

Xuxu didn’t leave.

He didn’t wake her up; he just quietly admired her sleeping face in the early morning light.

The slumbering Qiao Xu was not like her usual self – always cold and distant towards him, her words like thorns, as if she would only be satisfied when his heart was riddled with holes.

He knew he deserved all her resentment, but every time she looked at him with such a distant, cold gaze, his heart felt as if it had been stabbed countless times, both stifling and painful.

He stared at Qiao Xu like this, as if trying to focus a lifetime’s worth of time into this very moment.

But just as he was completely engrossed in watching her, the reclining Qiao Xu suddenly stirred and then unexpectedly opened her eyes.

Lu Moqing’s face stiffened, feeling a sudden embarrassment, as if he’d been caught spying; the tips of his ears flushed, but he didn’t take his gaze off Qiao Xu’s face.

Qiao Xu didn’t realize that Lu Moqing had been staring at her the whole time; when she saw him sitting on the bed, she quickly sat up.

"You’re awake?"

Her voice, muffled from just waking up, sounded somewhat hoarse, unintentionally suggestive.

Lu Moqing’s Adam’s apple bobbed, a hint of amusement appearing in his eyes. Qiao Xu was not far from him; all he had to do was reach out his arm to grab her.

"Xuxu, you didn’t leave?"

When Lu Moqing suddenly grabbed her hand, Qiao Xu instinctively struggled to break free. But as she recalled Shen Zeheng’s reminder from the day before, her movement paused.

She looked at Lu Moqing, who gazed back with hopeful and slightly helpless eyes.

Qiao Xu’s gaze darkened as she said, "Let go of my hand first, I’ll have the doctor come and check on you."

Lu Moqing didn’t let go, but instead stretched out his arm and pressed the call button. Trying to appease Qiao Xu, he said, "There, the doctor will be here soon."

Qiao Xu furrowed her brows at him, "Can you let go of my hand now?"
