Chapter 778: I Want to Be Alone with My Sister for a While
Under Xiao Bailu’s strong insistence, Huo Tingzun couldn’t avoid it any longer and was touched by everyone.But it was only a touch on the forehead.
The doctors tentatively touched his forehead, and then each one incredulously muttered: "The fever really has subsided. Now his skin is ice-cold, how strange!"
Huo Tingzun was filled with frustration: "..."
There’s nothing strange about it. Just a while ago, when no one was paying attention, that damned girl Xiao Bailu snuck some medicine powder into his bed. Once the hot Qingyan stones came in contact with the powder, they immediately cooled down.
He’s not sure of the principle behind it, but he can tell that these Qingyan stones and medicine powder were concocted by those two troublesome women, Xiao Bailu and Qin Xin.
Master Tuantuan knocked on the door in the middle of the night to deliver these tools.
36.5 degrees.
Huo Tingzun’s temperature was finally confirmed in front of the nationwide live broadcast cameras.
The journalist was so excited, almost to tears, asking the most cliché and inevitable question in all interviews:
"Big Cousin, how do you feel now? Do you have anything you want to say to the national audience?"
Huo Tingzun was silent for a second, then spoke word by word: "I want to be alone with my sister for a while."
Everyone in the room was stunned for a few seconds, immediately petrified.
Xiao Bailu glared at him furiously: Stupid man, what nonsense are you spouting to the camera? Hurry up and correct it! Fix this or I’ll rip you apart.
Considering Huo Tingzun had his eyes covered with a blindfold, he couldn’t see what expression she was making, she realized she was wasting her expressions.
So she sat at the foot of the bed and pinched the man’s calf hard once more.
The man groaned and spoke again: "I really want to be alone with my sister for a while. She’s worked hard during this time."
The people on the scene finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.
So that’s what "being alone for a while" meant, the sibling relationship is really good.
The live broadcast screen filled with amusing comments:
"Wow wow wow, my Big Cousin is so deeply affectionate and charming!"
"I love the way Big Cousin cares for his sister, it makes me want to eat three bowls of rice!"
"I wish my stupid man could be like Big Cousin, sob sob sob."
"Big Cousin, you should definitely thank your sister, she’s truly stood by you unwaveringly."
"Big Cousin, before I marry you, I allow you to treat your sister this well! After I become your wife, I’ll be the one to cherish you!"
Just like that, Big Cousin’s popularity skyrocketed even further.
The journalist was highly satisfied, having captured the perfect footage, then turned to see Xu Shifeng looking dumbstruck and sneered: "Expert Xu, let’s talk outside. I think you probably have a lot to say to the national audience too, right? Like, why did you stoop to plagiarism, stealing others’ medicine formulas? And how are you going to confess and repent for almost killing our Big Cousin!"
Xu Shifeng’s body was unsteady, his old hands trembling like sieves.
He hadn’t organized his words yet.
His subordinate rushed in holding a phone to report: "Expert Xu, the Si Group Headquarters just called, accusing us of academic fraud, providing fake solutions for the nightmare syndrome, deceiving them out of huge sponsorships. Now they not only want to take back all sponsorship fees, but also sue us for fraud and demand compensation!"
Xu Shifeng was hit over the head, his whole body starting to shake.
If losing such a big face in front of the national audience was just a matter of reputation being ruined, now all academic funding having been withdrawn by Si Moyu meant he lost the most crucial source of income and livelihood.
