The so-called trip was supposed to be so kind of treatnt thod, but looking at the current situation, the effectiveness of his treatnt was far from ideal. Otherwise, things wouldn’t have turned out the way they are now...
As Auntie Li’s mind conjured up that terrifying conclusion, she looked at Xiao Yi’s expression and couldn’t help but feel both pity and fear.
Seeing that Xiao Yi hadn’t said a word for a long ti, Auntie Li quickly asked cautiously, "Young Master Xiao, is there... is there anything else? If there isn’t anything, I... I will go back to cleaning upstairs!"
"It’s all right. You can go," Xiao Yi replied absentmindedly and without giving much attention to Auntie Li’s tone of voice, waved his hand weakly.
After speaking, he didn’t notice Auntie Li’s nearly fleeing figure as she went upstairs and simply sat down on the sofa, lost in his thoughts.
It had already been more than a week...
Xiao Yi stared blankly ahead at the television, but his eyes didn’t see it; instead, thoughts began to stir in his mind...
It wasn’t yesterday, It had been more than a week already...
No wonder my injuries had healed...
I had said it wasn’t possible to recover overnight to this extent...
Such severe injuries, recovering in a week, although very difficult, seed less like a myth compared to an overnight recovery. Especially for soone like him who had lived with that old man for a long ti and knew so incredibly advanced dical techniques, and who had also studied the mysterious and powerful Ghost Valley Twelve Needles...
It makes much more sense now... But during this week, I had been completely unconscious. How exactly did he treat ?
This thod of treatnt was truly miraculous. I wonder if I will have another chance to et that monk and properly learn from him...
Wait a second, more than a week...
I’ve been unconscious for more than a week, doesn’t that an...
While thinking, Xiao Yi suddenly rembered sothing, his face changed abruptly, and he leaped up from the sofa. He reached for his body, and finding nothing, he hurriedly raced upstairs.
He had promised Elder An to take so ti to visit his patient, and that very night, Elder An had said it would only take a couple of days. He had agreed, but now, having disappeared for more than a week, how could he explain this to Elder An?
Also, having disappeared for more than a week without going to school, wouldn’t there be issues there... He wasn’t worried about the school expelling him or anything, but given that he rarely skipped classes, disappearing suddenly like this must have greatly worried his friends, Zeng Xiaoxiao, Tang Feng and Fatty Tang, right?
Auntie Li, fearing for what might happen to Xiao Yi, considered quitting her job while she nervously cleaned the room. Suddenly seeing Xiao Yi rushing up like a madman, she was so startled that she clung to her broomstick and shrank to one side.
Xiao Yi, currently frantic to find his cell phone, paid no attention to Auntie Li’s reaction and stepped right past her to start rummaging through the clothes on his bed and nightstand.
Fortunately, his cell phone was there, intact and silently lying in the pocket of the clothes he had worn that day. He reached in, pulled it out, but the screen was dead; the phone had turned off because the battery was drained.
Xiao Yi hurriedly walked over to an outlet, plugged in the charger, and pressed the power button once the charger indicated it was providing power.
Accompanied by the classic pleasant ringtone of a certain brand, the phone’s screen lit up.
Xiao Yi anxiously watched the screen, and once it showed a signal indicating that the startup was complete, he quickly picked up the phone, opened the notepad, and began searching for Elder An’s phone number before pressing towards the dial button.
But just as his finger rested on the dial button, even before he could press it, the phone began to beep repeatedly and vibrated consistently.
Xiao Yi had to stop pressing the button and looked at the screen to press the display button.
"XXXX year XX month XX day XX hour XX minute XX second, missed call from Zeng Xiaoxiao..."
"XXXX year XX month XX day XX hour XX minute XX second, missed call from Elder An..."
"XXXX year XX month XX day XX hour XX minute XX second, missed call from Fatty Tang..."
"......"
As soon as he pressed the display button, he saw the inbox filled with a dense array of notifications of different missed calls, mostly from three or four days ago, and they were still increasing...
In just a mont, the total number of ssages in the inbox at the top left corner of the screen had skyrocketed by hundreds...
Xiao Yi slowly scrolled through these ssages; basically, each person had called at least ten tis, especially Wang Qingqing, who accounted for almost half...
After roughly understanding them, Xiao Yi was ready to press "Delete All," since these ssages were clear at a glance, and he no longer needed to open each one. He also didn’t want to fill his inbox with these kinds of ssages. But just as he was about to press the delete all button, his hand involuntarily paused. He saw a few ssages which were not from the telecommunication company’s alerts but were personal ssages.
"Xiao Yi, why aren’t you answering your phone? Where are you? Don’t scare . Please reply quickly when you see this ssage."
"Xiao Yi, where exactly are you? I went to your class today, and they all said you haven’t attended for a few days. What’s happening? Please reply when you see this ssage."
"Brother Xiao, you big anie, where have you gone off to play without inviting ? Next ti I find sothing fun, I’m not telling you!"
"Brother Xiao, if you don’t show up, you’re dead at when I catch you!"
"Boss, where have you disappeared to? How co you’ve been missing for so long?"
"Xiao Yi, reply as soon as you read this, An Jinhua!"
"..."
As he opened each ssage with a signature individually, Xiao Yi couldn’t help feeling a faint warmth from how sincere the concern for him was from between the lines, especially when combined with those terrifying missed call ssages, it was even more evident. But soon, his heart was filled with guilt. This incident had really caused them to worry!
"Ring, ring..."
During his mont of distraction, his phone suddenly began ringing urgently.
"Zeng Xiaoxiao calling!"
Seeing the caller ID, Xiao Yi quickly picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Brother Xiao, you finally turned on your phone, huh! I told you, the mont you turn it on, you can’t escape Miss Master’s surveillance. What bad things have you been up to these days, huh? Confess quickly!"
Before Xiao Yi had a chance to respond, Zeng Xiaoxiao’s voice had already rattled on without pause.
"Girl, I went out of town and forgot my phone. I’m really sorry."
Listening to Zeng Xiaoxiao’s aggressive tone, Xiao Yi apologetically responded.
Although Zeng Xiaoxiao always seed carefree and her thinking unreliable, he could still feel the sincere concern and worry behind her aggressive deanor.
Especially her words at the beginning, you can’t escape Miss Master’s surveillance once you turn on your phone, ward Xiao Yi’s heart; it already answered a question he wanted to ask—Zeng Xiaoxiao had been monitoring his phone from her computer the whole ti!
"Wow, Brother Xiao, you went out of town? Where? What did you do? Was it fun?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, Zeng Xiaoxiao imdiately beca excited, bombarding him with a barrage of questions.
"Err... I was just handling so business, Xiaoxiao, I still have so things to do. I’ll talk to you when I get back to school, okay."
Listening to Zeng Xiaoxiao’s energetic curiosity, Xiao Yi felt speechless. Her train of thought jumped so quickly, it was hard to keep up. The touch of sentintality he had felt was instantaneously overwheld by her rapid-fire questions. It was just then he saw another number showing up on his phone screen.
He quickly left a ssage saying he’d talk more at school, then hurriedly hung up to answer the incoming call.
"Hello? Xiao Yi?"
Imdiately, Shen Xiaoxiao’s voice, tinged with a bit of confusion, ca through the phone.
"It’s , Sister Shen."
Xiao Yi smiled slightly.
"Xiao Yi, it’s really you!"
Hearing Xiao Yi’s voice, Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly exclaid loudly, leaping from her chair. She had been worried sick these past few days. That night, she had co over to discuss sothing with Xiao Yi and had to rush back to the company urgently. To her surprise, the company encountered so minor troubles, which took her several days to resolve. After settling matters and calming down at ho, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. Liu Dongjun was a different kind of person. Xiao Yi spoke lightly of it, but if sothing really happened, could Xiao Yi have escaped it?
So after much thought, she decided it was unreliable this way; she had to assign a bodyguard to protect Xiao Yi. He was a student and couldn’t bring a bodyguard to school but could have covert protection. Hence, she ca to Xiao Yi’s ho again but discovered he wasn’t there, and his phone was turned off.
