Chapter 1761: Chapter 1761: Ding Dong, Your Mighty Jinli Is Online 52

After repeating himself who knows how many times, finally, Huo Ci understood that she couldn’t speak.

Only then did he put the Little Goldfish back into the swimming pool.

Su Yan flicked her tail to swim away, but before she got far, he scooped her up again.

He was holding a handful of water.

But once he’d scooped her out, he seemed afraid she’d dry out and die.

So he simply bent down and kept her soaked in the pool while cupping his hands around her.

He was just about to say something.

The sound of the 120 ambulance came from outside the door.

A nurse rushed in, and following behind her was Zhao Xingchen.

The nurse spoke first.

"Where’s the patient?"

Huo Ci looked up.

"It’s fine now."

As soon as he said that, the nurse stopped in her tracks.

She seemed doubtful and scanned the room carefully.

She saw that there really was only him here.

The nurse spoke.

"Were you the one who called 120?"

"Yes."

"On the phone you said there was a seventeen-year-old girl, chest tightness and weakness, seemingly in shock.

Where is she?"

Huo Ci glanced at the Little Goldfish in his hands.

He looked up, face perfectly calm.

"She left."

After another five minutes of detailed questioning,

the nurse left.

Zhao Xingchen paid the call-out fee for the ambulance.

Then he hurried over to Huo Ci.

Puzzled,

"What are you doing?"

As he spoke, he looked at the fish in Huo Ci’s hands and asked,

"Where’d this Little Goldfish come from?"

Huo Ci had originally found Zhao Xingchen’s constant nagging at his side a bit annoying.

He wanted to have a proper talk with the Little Goldfish.

But just as he was about to speak, he paused, as if something occurred to him, and changed tack.

"Go buy a fish tank."

"A fish tank?"

"Or a bigger cup, something that can hold this Little Goldfish."

Zhao Xingchen was stunned.

"Don’t tell me you’re suddenly feeling charitable and planning to raise this half-dead fish?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Huo Ci’s expression darkened for a moment.

"It wouldn’t die even if you did."

Zhao Xingchen hadn’t expected to piss him off with just one sentence.

He didn’t dare say more and quickly nodded.

"Okay, okay, okay, I’ll go look, I’ll go look."

Talking as he walked out.

He looked back every few steps.

It was the first time he’d seen Huo Ci like this.

So protective of that goldfish.

Holding it in his hands with extreme care.

Zhao Xingchen clicked his tongue.

Could it be he really likes that soft, fragile type?

Just like that little beauty??

Thinking this, Zhao Xingchen walked out of the swimming center.

He came back again in no time.

Of course there was nowhere to find a bathtub.

But a bigger water cup was doable.

No one knew which guest at the banquet had been hugging a cup, drinking tea with it.

In the end, Zhao Xingchen robbed it for their use.

He handed it to Huo Ci with exaggerated reverence.

For a long moment,

Huo Ci climbed out of the water.

He was holding that teacup.

In the transparent cup you could see a fish inside, swishing its tail as it swam.

Huo Ci glanced at Zhao Xingchen beside him.

"Find someone to take me home."

Zhao Xingchen hurriedly nodded.

"Okay, okay."

He had no idea what was up with this guy.

Something felt off, like a chill in the air.

So much so that he didn’t dare ask too many questions.

All he could think was to hurry up and get him out of here.

And just as he was thinking that, he heard Huo Ci say,

"Are you cold?"

Zhao Xingchen thought he was being asked, so he quickly turned back and said,

"Brother Ci, I’m not cold."

As he turned, he saw that Huo Ci was staring fixedly at that cup.

He hadn’t been talking to him at all.

He froze.

What on earth was Brother Ci doing?

Before he could figure it out, he heard Huo Ci speaking to the Little Goldfish.

His tone unusually gentle.

Again,

"Are you hungry?

Do you want bread or fish food?"

He said this as he walked out, and as he passed by Zhao Xingchen, he heard Zhao Xingchen’s voice trembling, eyes wide as he called out,

"Brother Ci?"

Huo Ci frowned.

"Why aren’t you moving? What are you doing?"
