Chapter 15 Damn It

• An Xiaoxiao buried her face into Zhan Lengrui's neck. The musk of the man was familiar.
• Zhan Lengrui's almond shaped eyes darkened till they looked like a bottomless abyss as murderous rage radiated from him.
• She has been drugged. Damn it!
• He gritted his teeth as he mentally decided that the people who had done this to her deserved the death penalty.
• Quickly, he strode towards the bathroom and placed An Xiaoxiao in the bathtub. Adjusting the water temperature, he aimed the showerhead at her and turned on the water.
• She squirmed under the warm water as it made her feel hotter.
• Zhan Lengrui had known that he would have to use cold water but he was reluctant to spray ice-cold water on her directly.
• But with the situation as it was now, he had no choice but to slowly change the temperature.
• As long as the problem can be fixed, I'll do it. I just have to gradually change the water temperature.
• However, this was not what An Xiaoxiao wanted. Crying, she tried to get closer to Zhan Lengrui.
• Zhan Lengrui clenched his teeth so hard that his jaw ached. Pushing her away, he gently patted her face, “Xiaoxiao, look at me.”
• Maybe if she's more aware of her surroundings.
• Hearing his warm comforting voice, An Xiaoxiao fluttered her pretty eyes as she looked at him.
• Then, she started to beg in a pitiful voice, “Zhan Lengrui, please help me, I don't feel so good.”
• He was surprised.
• He had not expected An Xiaoxiao to be able to recognize him under such circumstances.
• What does this mean?
• Zhan Lengrui stared at her with an unreadable look in his eyes.
• “Unbearable, it's so unbearable.” An Xiaoxiao was still crying.
• He was silent for several long moments before he finally reached out and turned the water temperature to the coldest setting there was.
• Icy water beat down on her and she shivered. Raising her head to look at him, there was a dazed look in her eyes and her face was still flushed.
• He was relieved for she was not crying anymore. It seemed like the cold water was working.
• Zhan Lengrui frowned as he looked at the shivering girl in the tub.
• Since the water is so cold, will she get sick tomorrow? Hmm, most likely.
• He thought for a moment before he turned up the air conditioning in the room.
• But the moment he set down the remote control, An Xiaoxiao started to fuss again.
• “Hot, it's so hot.”
• Zhan Lengrui leaned down to test the water in the tub and found that it had already turned warm.
• Shocked at the rapid temperature change, he once again cursed the damn people who had done this to her.
• They truly deserve death.
• “Xiaoxiao, wait here a moment.” Zhan Lengrui gently pushed her away from him and headed outside to make a phone call.
• “Ice, the more the better. Now.”
• A massive amount of ice was poured into the bathtub, surrounding An Xiaoxiao. From then on, she alternated between shivering madly and complaining about the heat.
• The night passed in a blur.
• The next morning, An Xiaoxiao woke up with her mouth feeling as dry as a desert.
• She slowly opened her bleary eyes and her lips trembled as she breathed out, “Water.”
• Sitting beside the bed, Zhan Lengrui helped her to sit up. He then turned to pick up the glass of water that was placed on the bedside table and brought it to her lips.
• Like a dehydrated person who had just found an oasis in the desert, An Xiaoxiao chugged the whole glass of water down in a matter of seconds.
• His wonderful voice sounded from above her head, “Do you want more?”
• An Xiaoxiao, who had had her fill, reflexively shook her head.
• Hold on a minute!
• Suddenly realizing something, An Xiaoxiao's eyes widened and she snapped her head up to meet a pair of deep, dark eyes.
• She felt like her heart had stopped beating as she asked, “Y-you. Why are you here?”
