Chapter 377 A Word is Missing in the Dictionary
Liu Yunhe's ghost-like expression and his shocked attitude that Chi Ruxia shouldn't be there made Chi Ruxia very dissatisfied.
"This is my senior brother's room, why can't I be here? And you, what are you trying to do, coming here so late and banging on the door!"
"I...I am..."
Upon seeing Chi Ruxia, Liu Yunhe seemed to have a mental block. When asked this question, he forgot what he wanted to do and stammered.
"Has something happened to Xiao Xu?"
Seeing Liu Yunhe's hurried appearance, Lin Lezhi frowned and walked to the door with a worried expression.
"Oh yes!"
Lin Lezhi's appearance broke the tense atmosphere between the two. Liu Yunhe seemed to have a breakthrough, and he said excitedly and joyfully, "My young master has woken up. Brother Qingchuan is taking my young master's pulse and asked me to tell you."
Upon hearing the news that Xiao Yihuo had woken up, Lin Lezhi's expression visibly relaxed, and the oppressive atmosphere that had been hanging over everyone for the past few days also dissipated.
Everyone was happy, except for Chi Ruxia, who was a little disappointed.
However, seeing Lin Lezhi relax and shake off her gloom, she was genuinely happy, and a look of relief and joy appeared in her eyes.
When I left Lin Lezhi's room, it was much quieter than usual.
Early the next morning.
Qingchuan knocked on the door and said that Xiao Yihuo's condition had improved a lot and he could now get out of bed and walk freely.
Noticing that Qingchuan seemed preoccupied, Lin Lezhi asked, "But Xiao Xu's health hasn't fully recovered?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Qingchuan's eyes, then he smiled, a smile tinged with helplessness and bitterness, and said frankly, "As expected of Brother Lezhi, you saw through it at a glance."
Qingchuan's eyes darkened, his gaze flickered, and he said with a self-reproach, "The Bone Lotus Flower does have miraculous effects, but it is not enough to clear the remaining poison from A-Xu's body. It is all my fault for my shallow medical skills."
"Don't think like that," Lin Lezhi reassured him. "Even if it's effective, it's better than nothing. As long as we can control the spread of toxins in our bodies, we'll keep searching and we'll definitely find a way!"
"Yes, thank you, Brother Lezhi."
"No need to thank me. If it weren't for you, Xiao Xu's situation would probably be even worse. He's really lucky to have made a friend like you."
To avoid making the atmosphere dull, Lin Lezhi quickly added, "Now that he's awake, let's go see him."
He hadn't seen Xiao Yihuo for five days since he left Xiao Yihuo's room last time.
I haven't seen him for five days.
Compared to before, he looked much better and sat neatly dressed at the table.
"Not bad, your complexion is indeed much better than it has been a few days ago."
Lin Lezhi suddenly moved closer and leaned in. Xiao Yihuo's posture remained upright, his expression unchanged, and even a hint of coldness emanated from him, but the hands holding the thermos under the table tightened slightly.
He glanced at Lin Lezhi briefly, then looked away, his voice weak as he said, "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused everyone these past few days."
Lin Lezhi blinked a few times, and could see the embarrassed look on Xiao Yihuo's face, which was incredibly novel and interesting to Lin Lezhi.
Xiao Yihuo had only shown this expression when he was pushed to the limit and had no other choice.
Lin Lezhi kept staring at him with a slightly inquisitive and amused look. Xiao Yihuo frowned slightly, stared back for a moment, his eyes showing a hint of embarrassment and annoyance, and his earlobes turned slightly red.
Seeing Xiao Yihuo's embarrassed and annoyed expression due to gratitude and apology, Lin Lezhi found it even more amusing and wanted to tease him a little more.
This is even more novel than Xiao Yihuo saying thank you and apology.
If he had a camera, he would have taken pictures from all angles.
"Yun He, what are you doing at the door?"
Upon hearing Qingchuan's words, everyone's attention turned to the doorway.
After everyone came in, Liu Yunhe stared at the door with a wary look on his face, looking very defensive. He peeked out the door and looked back and forth, as if he was confirming something.
Hearing Qingchuan call his name, Liu Yunhe's body stiffened as if he had been electrocuted. He then turned around rigidly, closed the door, and said with obvious evasiveness and embarrassment, "N-nothing..."
"Are you hiding from Miss Chi?"
Lin Lezhi saw through the Dao.
Having his thoughts exposed, Liu Yunhe was filled with shame and indignation. It seemed that the phrase "seeing through something but not saying it" didn't exist in Lin Lezhi's dictionary.
Liu Yunhe crossed his arms tightly, turned his head to the side, and stubbornly refused to admit it, saying, "Who's avoiding her? I was just worried that she had bad intentions, so I was on guard."
Guan Ziheng pondered for a moment, then felt something was amiss and said, "Speaking of which, she used to knock on our door early in the morning, saying she was coming to take care of you. But she didn't come today, which is a bit out of character for her."
Liu Yunhe: "I think she probably overslept."
Recalling how much quieter Chi Ruxia was than usual when she left last night, and how somewhat forlorn she looked, Lin Lezhi's eyes darkened slightly, and she said, "I should go see her."
Lin Lezhi was leaving, and Guan Ziheng, who was not familiar with them, had no reason to stay, so he said he would go with Lin Lezhi.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yunhe also said he wanted to come along.
"Neither of you knows martial arts. I came here to protect you. If she suddenly disappears, who knows what she's up to?"
When no one asked, Liu Yunhe emphasized again, "And let me say it again, I'm not avoiding her, I'm on guard against her."
Liu Yunhe's repeated mention of the issue, which seemed like a blatant attempt to cover something up, prompted Lin Lezhi and Guan Ziheng to exchange a glance and smile.
"What are you laughing at? I'm telling the truth!"
When they arrived at Chi Ruxia's room, they found the door wide open and the waiter was cleaning inside. The room was very tidy.
Upon seeing Lin Lezhi and his group arrive, the waiter warmly greeted them, saying, "Detective Jiang, Young Master Guan, Young Master Liu, you've arrived."
The waiter wasn't surprised by their arrival. Lin Lezhi asked, "Has Miss Chi already left?"
"Yes."
"Miss Chi checked out and left early this morning." The waiter said, taking out a letter from his pocket and handing it to Lin Le. "When she left, she asked me to give this letter to you. I was thinking of tidying up the room before bothering you, but I didn't expect you to come first, Detective Jiang."
Hearing that Chi Ruxia had left, Liu Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief.
After saying that, the waiter turned around and closed the door, then turned back again and politely took his leave, saying, "The room is ready, and the letter has been delivered to you, so I'll be leaving now."
"Okay, thank you."
"Gentlemen, you have helped our small town solve the mystery of Huaifeng Village, which is a great favor to Pinghai Town. This is just a small favor. If you need anything, please feel free to ask. I will not disturb you any longer."
After the waiter left, Lin Lezhi stared blankly at the words "Jiang Gui's Visit to Relatives" written on the envelope, her fingertips unconsciously tightening slightly.
Liu Yunhe leaned against the side, curious about the letter in Lin Lezhi's hand. He raised an eyebrow and said, "I think she must be afraid of being exposed and revealing that she is not Chi Feibai's daughter, so she ran away out of guilt."
