Her palms were so cold that they were heartbreaking.
Yu Zenan lowered his eyes and looked at her. She fell asleep, her eyelashes trembling violently. A thin layer of moisture covered her trembling eyelashes, making her look so pitiful.
Because of the fever, her lips were somewhat dehydrated and bloodless. The sound of her murmuring was very soft and vague. He leaned over and heard the three words "Bai Yeqing". He was slightly startled, and when he looked at her eyes again, they had darkened.
Fool!
Sighing, he just silently held her hand tighter, as if he wanted to transfer all his warmth to her.
… … … … …
General Office.
After Leng Fei answered the phone, he knocked on the door of the president's office. He went in only after hearing the president's voice.
"Sir, the old lady just called and asked you to come back to the house for dinner. Please..."
Before Leng Fei finished speaking, Bai Yeqing's brows had already furrowed. He knew that the old lady's intentions were not to drink.
That day, he did agree to Lan Ye and went to see Lan Ye. He knew exactly why he felt that way. However, it turned out that even after seeing another woman, his mood was not much better. Moreover... it seemed to have caused unnecessary misunderstandings among everyone in the Lan family and the Bai family, who thought that Lan Ye was really special to him.
"Tell the old lady that I'm sending Xia Dabai to his grandmother's house tonight for the weekend and I won't be able to have dinner with her."
"Yes." Leng Fei responded and walked out.
… … … … …
After a few hours of flight, we returned to Kyoto. At this time, it was already completely dark in Kyoto.
Yu Zenan's car had been waiting outside the airport for a long time.
He waved away the others and drove her back in his Aston Martin. Xia Xingchen did not refuse. She was so weak that she had no strength at all. It would be a hassle to take a taxi now.
Yu Zenan turned on the heater, but he was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, so he didn't dare to drive fast. The car was driving at a very slow speed.
"Do you want to go to the hospital first?"
"No more..." Xia Xingchen leaned against the car window and shook his head, his voice was very soft, "Going to the hospital is also to get medicine, and there are still a lot of them at home."
"It's better to take less medicine, because medicine is poisonous to some extent."
"… Um."
She didn't have the energy to reply, so Yu Zenan didn't say anything to her. He just covered her with a cashmere blanket. She could smell the faint fragrance on the blanket, which was completely different from the smell on Bai Yeqing's body.
The scent of Yu Zenan still has some of the smell of a big boy;
Bai Yeqing exudes a calm and refreshing scent, like mint...
Why did I think of him again? Xia Xingchen's heart tightened and he shook his head, not allowing himself to think about it anymore.
… … … … …
Xia Dabai stayed at the old house for two days, but he was not in a good mood. There was no choice but to send him to his grandmother's house. Along the way, the father and son were in a cold war and no one paid attention to each other.
When the car arrived at the small rental house, Xia Dabai took big steps and got into the elevator first. Bai Yeqing put on a mask and followed slowly.
In the room, Shen Min and Chi Weiyang were cooking dinner. When he came in, Shen Min hurriedly said, "Ye Qing, stay for dinner."
Xia Dabai was very unhappy, "Grandma, why do you want to keep him here? He has a date and doesn't even want to eat with us."
Shen Min looked at Bai Yeqing, "If you really have..."
"No, don't listen to what the child says." Bai Yeqing put the clothes aside. Shen Min smiled and patted the child's head.
Xia Dabai didn't want to be alone with him, so he went to the kitchen with Chi Weiyang. Bai Yeqing sat on the small sofa, looking straight ahead, watching TV. His body was straight, and his face was expressionless.
Shen Min brought him a cup of tea, "Come, have a drink."
"Thank you." Bai Yeqing took it, "How are you?"
"It's all thanks to you this time." Shen Min sat down on the side, "It's fine now. After a while of recuperation, you can go back to Liangcheng."
"Why don't you stay here longer?"
Shen Min smiled and shook her head. "I heard from Xingchen that the bed I sleep in is yours. I've been occupying your bed for so long, how can I have the nerve to keep disturbing you?"
Bai Yeqing was silent for a moment, then said, "Please stay here. From now on... I will come here less often."
"Huh? What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Shen Min felt that something seemed wrong with him.
He just said, "I'm quite busy."
… … …
After dinner, Chi Weiyang returned to the building opposite and sent Bai Yeqing out.
She also saw the news about Xingchen and Yu Zenan in the newspaper. She was actually shocked at the time, but she didn't call Country Y to find out what was going on. She always thought that she could ask after she returned to China. Anyway, no matter who she wanted to be with, as long as it was her own choice, she would support it unconditionally as a friend.
Chi Weiyang followed Mr. President silently and entered the elevator. He could feel his extremely low mood all night. Just now in the kitchen, he heard Xia Dabai say that his father was going to find him a stepmother. It seemed that he and Xingchen really had no chance.
Just as I was thinking this, I heard Bai Yeqing suddenly ask: "When will she come back?"
Chi Weiyang was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that the 'she' he was referring to was Xingchen. He quickly replied: "She should be back the day after tomorrow."
He didn't say anything more. The elevator went down from the 8th floor. Chi Weiyang felt that the president's aura was too strong, and she felt extremely overwhelmed.
It took as long as going down the 80th floor to get down from the 8th floor. With a "ding dong" sound, the elevator door finally opened. Bai Yeqing stepped aside like a gentleman and let Chi Weiyang go out first.
Chi Weiyang breathed a sigh of relief, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. President, I'll take my leave now. Please take care."
He just said "hmm" as a response. Chi Weiyang left quickly and went back to the building opposite.
Just as Bai Yeqing walked out of the elevator and was about to get into his car, a strong beam of light suddenly shone into the community. At a glance, he recognized it as an Aston Martin. Such a car is not common in such a community.
When he saw the license plate and the two people sitting in the car, his expression became even colder.
… … … …
The car is parked downstairs in the community.
Yu Zenan took her luggage from the car and said, "I'll take you upstairs."
"Don't." Xia Xingchen refused. "My mother is at my house. The news about the two of us has already been reported in the newspaper. My mother may have seen it. If you show up at our house again, she will definitely take it seriously."
Yu Zenan joked half-seriously, "Isn't it good to take it seriously? How about we both take it seriously?"
"I don't want to bother with you." Xia Xingchen didn't intend to take his words to heart at all. He bent down to take his luggage and said, "Go back and be careful. I'm going upstairs."
