Chapter 1026 Before departure

The next day, the dawn was just breaking and the air was still a little chilly from the night. Xiao Xiao was already sitting in the restaurant eating breakfast.

When he had almost finished eating, he looked up and saw several women rushing over.

There was a hint of panic on their faces.

After seeing him, the panic turned into a sense of relief.

He could even vaguely hear their faint sighs of relief.

"Mr. Xiao Xiao."

The man with black-framed glasses stood beside Xiao Xiao, with a polite smile on his face, "So you are here."

"We just-"

"We just knocked on your door, but no one came to open it."

The short-haired woman took over the conversation, her face still showing some of the anxiety she had felt from not being able to find someone. Her tone was somewhat complaining, "We were all shocked. We thought you had just left without saying anything."

"Lingling!"

The man with black-framed glasses interrupted the short-haired woman's next words and said, "Mr. Xiao Xiao doesn't want to disturb our rest."

Then he turned to look at Xiao Xiao, "But, Mr. Xiao Xiao, you got up really early."

Nowadays, it is rare to find young people who don’t like to stay in bed.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "Get up when you wake up."

"Mr. Xiao Xiao."

Gu Xiaozhao, who had finally calmed down, suddenly spoke. She also followed Xia Suwen's example and called him "Sir", feeling that this could better express her gratitude to the young man.

He was her savior.

When the poison took effect yesterday, she really thought she was going to suffocate to death in excruciating pain.

No matter how I struggle or how I pray.

The light in his eyes grew dimmer.

But she was saved.

She bent down ninety degrees, "Thank you for saving me."

"Thank you very much indeed."

Thinking of the horrible memory of yesterday, she couldn't help but reveal a hint of fear in her voice.

I have lingering fears.

……

The woman's overly formal bow attracted the attention of the people dining nearby.

Curious, inquiring eyes lingered on them.

The woman did not stand up.

If it were in the past, she would definitely get up immediately and pretend nothing happened because she was embarrassed.

But now, she has not fully recovered from the near-death experience yesterday, and her perception of the outside world has become much duller.

Besides, her attention was on the young man in front of her.

……

"Get up."

Seeing that the woman had no intention of getting up, Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows and spoke.

It took the woman a while to straighten up.

"Mr. Xiao Xiao, I will take you to my friend's house later."

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao responded and then stood up, "Then you guys should have breakfast first, I'll wait for you in the hall outside."

"what."

The man with black-framed glasses who had been listening quietly wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled and said, "Oh, okay."

"Then please trouble Mr. Xiao Xiao to wait for us for a while."

"We'll be fine soon."

"Not urgent."

Xiao Xiao glanced at the man with black-framed glasses, then turned and walked towards the restaurant door.

Soon, his back disappeared from everyone's sight.

……

"Xia Suwen, why do you call Xiao Xiao Mr.?"

The short-haired woman was a little confused.

In fact, she seemed to have vaguely heard the change in the way the man with black-framed glasses addressed Xiao Xiao yesterday.

But at that time, all her attention was on her good friend, and she didn't have the extra energy to care about this.

I asked her again today when I heard her say, "It feels weird."

"Xiao Zhao, you call me that too..."

He is obviously younger than them, but he still calls me Mr.

"He saved me." Gu Xiaozhao looked serious.

In fact, she hadn't thought about the address at first, but after hearing how Xia Suwen called her, she thought it was appropriate and so she followed suit.

After all, he is my savior, so I can't be too casual with him.

"Yes, I cured Xiao Zhao's poison. Do you still think I'm an ordinary person?"

The man with black-framed glasses pushed the frame of his glasses on his nose and walked towards the food area.

"Isn't he just a doctor?"

The short-haired woman muttered softly.

“That’s also a miracle doctor.”

The man with black-framed glasses held up a tray and said, "You all saw what happened yesterday."

"Well, I saw it but I didn't understand it."

The flat-headed man spread his hands.

"It doesn't matter if we don't understand. Xiao Zhao is fine anyway."

"Look at how lively she is now."

Where is the miserable look of yesterday?

"Why do I feel like you're talking about fish?"

Gu Xiaozhao twitched her eyes. Why didn’t she feel like she was full of energy?

However, it is true that I am in good spirits.

"This is enough to show the opponent's strength."

The man with black-framed glasses glanced at the woman and said, "He only looked at her, without even taking her pulse, and he knew that Xiao Zhao was poisoned."

"When Xiao Zhao was poisoned, he just held Xiao Zhao's hand and the poison was cured."

“Isn’t this kind of person amazing?”

The man's tone was somewhat lamenting, "Maybe this is what is called a master?"

This baffling yet powerful way of doing things...

"Lingling, you should be nicer to Mr. Xiao Xiao later."

The man looked at the short-haired woman.

"what."

The short-haired woman uttered a single sound subconsciously, and then a puzzled look appeared on her face, "I treated him very well."

Man with black-framed glasses: …

The flat-headed man couldn't help but sneer, "Are you sure?"

"It's obvious that you are the one who treats him the worst among all of us."

"Have it?"

The short-haired woman looked aggrieved and innocent. "I'm just telling the truth."

"Okay, just be careful behind me."

The man with black-framed glasses waved his hand, "Although we don't know Mr. Xiao Xiao."

"But the more courtesy, the less blame."

"Besides, he saved Xiao Zhao's life. Even for this reason, we should be more respectful to Mr. Xiao Xiao."

"Did you hear that, Lingling?"

"heard it."

The short-haired woman poked the cake in front of her with an iron tongs, looking well-behaved and obedient.

Among the four of them, Su Xiawen is the oldest and was the senior who led her when she first joined the company. He usually takes good care of them, and she always listens to what he says.

……

"Brother Su is right."

The flat-headed man agreed, "Xiao Zhao, you didn't see how he detoxified you yesterday."

"Now that I think about it, it's really scary."

"Anyway, I was confused from beginning to end."

“It’s totally unclear.”

"I just can't understand, when did shaking hands detoxify me?"

"If you knew, you would be a miracle doctor too."

Gu Xiaozhao smiled with a hint of sarcasm.

She was also confused after listening to Lingling's description of the specific detoxification process yesterday.

She subconsciously looked at her hands.

"Unfortunately, I was somewhat conscious at the beginning of yesterday, but later on I felt so bad that I lost all consciousness."

"Otherwise, maybe there will be some discoveries."

She had some regrets.
