Chapter 124 - Drink Water

Chapter 124: Drink Water

Cheng Ling felt that Lu Qi was now a high school student.

There was a red light ahead. Lu Qi slowly stepped on the brakes and the car stopped smoothly without any bumps.

“Why are you looking at me?”

He caught her off guard.

Only then did Cheng Ling realize that she had been staring at Lu Qi in a daze.

What was wrong with me? Was I bewildered by his good look?

Cheng Ling was a little shy, but she didn’t show it.

There was a saying, ‘as long as I’m not embarrassed, the one who is embarrassed is the other person’.

So, Cheng Ling replied naturally, “You looked a little more handsome than before, so I just took a few more glances.”

This time, it was Lu Qi’s turn to be choked.

Cheng Ling usually looked like she didn’t talk much. However, when she said this, she said it clearly. It surprised Lu Qi a little.

However, he was only surprised for a moment, and then he smiled.

“Since you like it, then you can keep looking. You can look as long as you wish.”

It wasn’t over yet, was it?

Cheng Ling looked away.

“It’s fine. There’s nothing much after looking for a long time.”

She looked out of the window. There were many people on the street on Saturday, and their faces were full of happy smiles. They were happy for the rare free time they had in these two days.

Cheng Ling looked at the reflection of herself on the car window. She realized that she was also smiling.

There was a child accidentally spilling a drink on the ground. The red color drink suddenly reminded Cheng Ling of the dream she had yesterday.

At the end of the dream, Lu Qi spat out a large mouthful of blood. It was so shocking.

Lu Qi keenly sensed the change in Cheng Ling’s mood. He tilted his head and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Cheng Ling shook her head, but her expression became serious again.

“How’s your health recently? The attack shouldn’t be as frequent and painful as before, right?”

Lu Qi followed the navigation and turned right. He shook his head.

“No, everything is fine.”

Cheng Ling had never asked too many questions when treating others. She only needed to give the right medicine. However, today, for some reason, she wanted to ask a few more questions.

“Do you still remember how it was like when you were poisoned?”

Cheng Ling had a feeling that the dream she had last night was not a figment of her imagination.

She recalled the familiar feeling she had when she first met Lu Qi. Perhaps the two of them had really met before?

Lu Qi did not seem to have expected Cheng Ling to bring up this matter at this juncture. He replied as usual, “Actually, my memory of that time is rather vague. I was only a teenager at that time. After being poisoned, I was not in good shape and I was often in a coma. Sometimes, when I woke up, I was in another place, so that memory is very vague.” f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

Lu Qi’s hand that was holding the steering wheel paused. He did not know if he should tell Cheng Ling his guess. f𝙧ee𝘄𝐞𝚋𝐧૦ѵeƖ.c𝘰𝓶

But if Cheng Ling was the little girl who saved him back then, why didn’t Cheng Ling have any impression of him?

It was better to investigate first.

“Why did the Meng family in the north of the city poison you?”

What made Cheng Ling curious was that Lu Qi was the second young master of the Lu family. His status was far inferior to Lu Xiu’s.

Although in her opinion, Lu Xiu’s attitude toward Lu Qi was a little strange, as if Lu Qi was the boss.

Of course, she didn’t ask this question. After all, this was a family matter of the Lu family.

Lu Qi licked his lips.

“I’m a little thirsty. Can you get me a bottle of water?”

“Oh…”

Although she didn’t know why he suddenly wanted to drink water at this time…

Cheng Ling leaned over to the back seat to get a bottle of water.

However, Lu Qi was driving now, so Cheng Ling could only help him open the bottle.

“How do you want to drink it?”

Cheng Ling held the water and was at a loss.

“Can you feed me?”

“Okay.”

Cheng Ling thought for a moment. Since Lu Qi was so open, there was no need for Cheng Ling to be shy.

Then, she put the mineral water in front of Lu Qi.

Lu Qi was very cooperative. He drank two mouthfuls of the water with Cheng Ling’s help.

Lu Qi continued, “The feud between the Meng family and our Lu family has been going on for a long time. For so many years, they have been trying to get rid of us, so…”

Before Lu Qi could finish, Cheng Ling said anxiously, “Pull over to the side first.”

Cheng Ling had glanced out of the window and saw a group of pedestrians forming a circle. From the gaps among the crowd, she could see that someone had fainted on the ground.

Lu Qi pulled the car to the side. Cheng Ling quickly unbuckled her seatbelt and got out of the car.

“Please make way.”

Cheng Ling squeezed through the crowd.

The person who fainted was a middle-aged man in his forties. His lips were purple and his face was pale. Someone around had called for an ambulance.

Cheng Ling reached out to check his breath and touched the location of his heart. She found that his heartbeat had already stopped.
