Mingxi, ah Mingxi, the day I wait for you, gets dark, and is about to get light again.
"Hey, do you think the young master will be unable to bear waiting like this? The gunshot wound in his abdomen hasn't healed yet!" Tang Xuan asked worriedly.
"This was your bad idea. You let the young master confess his love downstairs with a rose in his hand, and then you said it would be best if it rained heavily. Now..." Tang Xuan said sullenly, "and you let us get wet in the rain!"
"The young master asked me to say it, why are you blaming me? Besides, the young master didn't object. He wanted to do it himself. If he didn't want to, he wouldn't do it even if I gave him some advice!" Tang Yao retorted.
"If it weren't for you, would the young master get caught in the rain? Would we get caught in the rain? What if the young master's wound gets inflamed?" Tang Xuan was a little excited.
"But you can't blame me, you..."
"Enough, stop arguing! Let's just wait patiently. If the young master can't hold on, we will take him away!" Tang Tian scolded.
Hearing Tang Tian's scolding, Tang Xuan and Tang Yao reluctantly stopped arguing.
Xue Qi stood in the rain, feeling the rain hitting his face and body. He raised his head slightly and saw that there was no light in Mingxi's room. He looked expressionlessly at the rose petals that were knocked to the ground by the rain. They kept dancing under the heavy rain, and he suddenly wanted to laugh.
He squeezed the box in his hand and prepared to bend down to tidy up the roses around him, because it was almost dawn.
It's dawn, she should go to work, right? If she goes to work, she will definitely go downstairs, and she will definitely pass by here...
Although he couldn't let her see the most beautiful roses, he wouldn't let her see roses that were too bad either.
Xue Qijing bent down, then carefully straightened the rose that was knocked crooked by the rain, picked up the fallen petals, and arranged Mingxi's name with the petals one by one.
Just when he was about to put Mingxi's name in place, he suddenly felt that the rain had stopped falling on his head. He frowned, then slowly raised his head. The first thing that caught his eye was a pair of white crystal slippers, then slowly moved up to a sky blue pajamas, and then up to the face of the woman holding an umbrella for him...
"…Master, you fix the car, I will hold an umbrella for you!"
For some reason, Xue Qijing suddenly heard a sentence Mingxi once said to him. He was excited and quickly stood up, then hugged Mingxi into his arms, "I knew you would come down and not let me wait in vain. I knew it, I always knew it."
A strange light flashed in Mingxi's eyes, and Xue Qi hugged her tightly, so tightly that she could hardly breathe.
"Mingxi, I'm waiting for you, I've been waiting for you!" Xue Qijing whispered while hugging Mingxi's thin body. He wanted to rub her body into his body, so that she would never leave him again, and he wouldn't have to worry about losing her.
"Mingxi, I love you! I really love you so much. I have never loved a woman like this!" Xue Qijing continued.
"Go up first!" Mingxi's expression didn't change much, she said coldly.
"Okay, let's go up, but before we go up, you have to put this on!" Xue Qijing said as he let go of Mingxi, took out the ring, and then put it on Mingxi's finger. He didn't know what was going on now, as long as she put on the ring, he would feel at ease. If she didn't put it on, his whole heart would be in turmoil.
Mingxi was startled and wanted to take it down, but Xue Qijing's big hand suddenly held her hand. He looked at her straight, with a little expectation and pleading in his eyes.
"Let's go upstairs!" Xue Qijing smiled at Mingxi, then hurriedly took Mingxi's hand and strode upstairs...
When the four brothers of the Tang family saw Mingxi coming downstairs and going upstairs together, they finally put their minds at ease.
"Look, this method is very effective, right? This woman is so soft-hearted, especially towards the man she likes. Her heart is softer than tofu!" Tang Yao boasted in front of the other three.
"Tsk!" The other three snorted disdainfully, then quickly walked out of the community in the heavy rain.
"Hey, big brother, second brother, third brother, wait for me, do you think what I said makes sense? This woman's heart..." Tang Yao chased after them and shouted loudly.
When she came upstairs, Mingxi took out the first aid kit, gauze and hemostatic and anti-inflammatory drugs, and sat next to Xue Qijing without saying a word. She undressed him and looked at the white shirt stained with blood. Her eyes were calm.
She skillfully removed the gauze that was originally covering the wound. She gently cleaned Xue Qijing's wound and applied medicine. Everything seemed so familiar, as if bandaging wounds was something she did often.
Mingxi treated the wound quickly, but when she saw the big diamond ring on the ring finger of her left hand, she paused, but only for a moment, and then she continued to bandage the wound.
It only took her fifteen minutes to bandage the wound.
While packing the first aid kit, Ming Xi said to Xue Qijing coldly, "If you don't care about the wound on your abdomen, I think it will get infected soon."
Xue Qijing had been sitting on the sofa, frowning as he looked at the extremely calm woman in front of him, so calm that he could not even show any emotion.
Mingxi packed up the first aid kit and turned around to put it away, but just as she stood up and took a few steps, her wrist was grabbed by Xue Qijing. He pulled hard and Mingxi fell back onto the sofa. Xue Qijing took the opportunity to press her down with his body.
"I knew you were always worried about me!" Xue Qijing leaned over, an inch above Mingxi's red lips, breathing hot air. He looked at Mingxi affectionately, and kissed her lips without waiting for her to answer.
Her lips were suddenly enveloped by a ball of warmth, and Mingxi was immediately stunned. She stared in disbelief, and after a long pause, she tried to reach out and push Xue Qijing away, but just as her hand touched the wound on his abdomen, she suddenly withdrew her hand for some reason.
She did not struggle, but just let Xue Qijing kiss her.
Xue Qi kissed her for a long, long time, until Mingxi's fair face flushed unnaturally, and he was almost suffocated before he reluctantly let her go. He looked down at Mingxi, glancing at her lips that were swollen from his kiss for a long time, and then he raised his hand and gently rubbed Mingxi's lips.
"Mingxi!" He called out Mingxi's name softly. The deep and bewitching voice made Mingxi feel a little dazed. She responded to him involuntarily.
"Let me protect you, okay?" Xue Qijing said in a low voice. His voice was very low, as if he was afraid that if he spoke louder, it would scare the woman under him.
Mingxi's eyes darkened, and she looked away from Xue Qijing. She didn't speak. Instead, she was silent for a long while before she said calmly, "You're all wet from the rain. Go to the bathroom and take a shower. Remember, the wound can't touch water."
"Okay!" Xue Qijing rolled up from Mingxi, glanced at Mingxi reluctantly, then turned and went into the bathroom.
It was not until Xue Qijing left her that Mingxi felt her breathing became a little smoother. She raised her hand and looked at the sparkling ring on her finger. Mingxi's eyes flickered violently. She stood up from the sofa and walked to the window. She looked at the heavy rain outside the window. Her heart was in a mess.
What happened to her? She didn't even know how she felt about him. Hate him? She found that she hated him. Love him? It seemed that she couldn't say. However, every time he touched her, her heart would beat fast. This kind of heartbeat was something no other man had ever given her.
