This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Chapter 157 I’m hungry

Perhaps He Jing's advances were too forceful, because Ye Xiaoxiao finally relented and let the pill roll down her throat. The bitter taste of the pill made her frown.

He Jing reluctantly pulled away from Ye Xiaoxiao's lips, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her swallow the pill. Seeing the bitter look on her face, he immediately gave her a few sips of water before stopping.

Ye Xiaoxiao fell into a coma just as it was getting dark and the lights were being turned on.

During this time, Yu Qingchuan came to check her pulse again. Seeing that her pulse was stable and not as disordered as before, he secretly admired Ye Xiaoxiao's detoxification pill, which was so effective.

It seems I'll have a lot to ask her when she wakes up.

He Wuyang ran over to light the lamp. She looked at the person lying on the bed, reached out and hugged Ye Xiaoxiao's face, and gently whispered in her ear, "Sister-in-law, wake up quickly! We're going to have dinner. Are you hungry?"

He Jing sat by the bedside without leaving her side from daytime, his large hands holding hers tightly.

Suddenly, the fingers in his hand unconsciously twitched, and the delicate fingers scraped against his palm.

A light suddenly lit up in He Jing's eyes.

He looked up and saw that the person lying on the bed had slightly moved their eyelids.

The next moment, Ye Xiaoxiao opened her eyes, saw the two people beside the bed, and grinned.

The first thing he said was:

"I'm hungry."

He Jing and his sister exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with boundless joy. Their bright eyes shone with ecstatic delight.

The little girl was already overjoyed, waving her arms and legs excitedly, then ran out and shouted:

"Sister-in-law is awake! Sister-in-law is awake!"

Like a cheerful little sparrow, she chirped and scurried into the kitchen to share the good news with everyone.

Upon hearing this, the group immediately put down their work and hurriedly ran to the room across the courtyard.

Only Yu Qingchuan, his face smeared with soot, remained, sitting in front of the stove, tending the fire.

He watched the people run away in a flash, then looked at his own white robe, now stained with dirt, and thought, "Never mind!"

After a moment of internal struggle, I decided, "No way!"

Let's go take a look!

So he put down the firewood in his hand and strode out of the kitchen.

inside the house.

Ye Xiaoxiao sat up and was immediately pulled into a tight embrace by the man, the scent of pine resin wafting from her nose captivating her.

She could feel He Jing's heartbeat quickening, thumping repeatedly.

"Okay, Jing, I'm fine now," she said softly, leaning against He Jing's chest.

He Jing reached out and gently stroked Ye Xiaoxiao's cheek, pursed his lips tightly, and said, "How could you be alright? There's still a cut on your leg, and it will take some time to heal."

Ye Xiaoxiao sat up and comforted him with a smile, "I don't care about this little injury. It'll be fine in a few days. The main thing is that I'm still alive and can open my eyes to see you. That makes me feel really good."

Seeing that He Jing's brows were still furrowed, Ye Xiaoxiao hooked her arms around his neck and gently pecked his lips. Just as she was about to pull away, her head was locked in place by a large hand, rendering her unable to move and forcing her to passively endure it.

"Hmm—someone's coming!"

He Jing immediately released her, seemingly unintentionally wiping his lips. A huge weight was lifted from his heart; thankfully, she was still there.

"Xiao Xiao! My son! You worried your mother to death, you suffered so much, my child."

Mother He stepped forward and hugged Ye Xiaoxiao affectionately, asking her with concern if she felt uncomfortable anywhere else.

Looking at the room full of people who cared about her, Ye Xiaoxiao felt a warm current flowing into her heart.

"I'm fine now, I'm sorry to have worried you."

"Are you really alright? When I saw the wound while changing the dressing, it was such a big tooth hole, and my heart clenched when I saw it."

When He's mother thought of the bloody wound, she felt a chill run down her spine, and her heart ached terribly.

Yu Qingchuan arrived late from outside.

Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and a hint of surprise flashed across her face. She hadn't expected Yu Qingchuan to come as well.

This sight, however, had a different meaning in He Jing's eyes, and a hint of jealousy began to burn in his heart.

Thinking of this, he remembered that Xiao Xiao had previously received a sandalwood plaque from Yu Qingchuan.

The look in her eyes as she gazed at Yu Qingchuan carried a hint of displeasure.

Concerned, Mother He quickly asked Yu Qingchuan to take Ye Xiaoxiao's pulse and see if there was anything wrong with her body.

As the saying goes, concern can cloud judgment, and at this moment she completely forgot that Ye Xiaoxiao knew medicine.

After entering the room, Yu Qingchuan ignored He Jing's hostile gaze and walked up to Ye Xiaoxiao to take her pulse.

He focused intently on taking the pulse, but he didn't miss the look in He Jing's eyes that could burn a hole in the back of his hand.
