Fu Yichen was right. It was indeed very easy to fall in love with Bai Yeqing. So, if I really continued to be so ambiguous with him, I might really fall in love with him.
Xia Xingchen is actually a timid person, she can't do something like a moth flying into a flame.
So, after that day, she kept a safe distance from President Bai, intentionally or unintentionally.
Things like using kisses to distract pain never happened again.
Fortunately, Bai Yeqing was very busy after he recovered a little. Even though he was still lying in bed, Leng Fei would come every day to report on the situation in a timely manner.
He had not appeared in the news or in public for four consecutive days, which had aroused suspicion among people at home and abroad, so he had to discuss feasible countermeasures with Leng Fei.
On the fifth day, after seeing Leng Fei and his group off, Xia Xingchen went to the kitchen to boil water for him to take medicine.
While she was busy, her cell phone suddenly rang. The words "Zenan" flashed on the screen. She was stunned for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she remembered that it was the blind date she had met once.
The two of them hadn't been in touch for such a long time since they came back, and she thought there was no follow-up.
"Hello."
"Are you in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs? I'm at the door of your general office. Come out, I'll take you to dinner." Yu Zenan's voice came from the other side. He still looked so familiar, even though the two had only met once.
It would be fine if he didn't mention it, but when he did, Xia Xingchen felt embarrassed, "I didn't take the test, and was rejected."
"You were preparing very seriously, why didn't you take the exam?"
"It's a long story." Xia Xingchen's voice was a little depressed. Then, he cheered up and said, "But it doesn't matter. I'm already sending out resumes and looking for other jobs."
"You have the ability. Just wait. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will definitely invite you back."
"Don't try to make me happy." Xia Xingchen didn't take it to heart at all.
Yu Zenan laughed over there, "You're in a bad mood, aren't you? I'll try to comfort you and make you feel better. But, comforting you over the phone seems too insincere. Where are you? I'll come pick you up. I'll take you to eat something good to improve your mood."
"That Aston Martin of yours again?"
"If you don't like this car, that's OK. I'll get another one."
"It's not that I don't like him. I'm just a little busy lately, so I definitely can't get away today." She didn't hate being with him, but her top priority right now was not to resolve her own marriage issue.
"So... tomorrow?"
"I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow. It'll have to be at least ten days later."
"Okay, then ten days later. It's settled!" Yu Zenan agreed immediately.
Xia Xingchen thought that although Bai Yeqing would not be fully recovered in ten days, he would definitely be able to get out of bed, so it should not be a problem for her to go out for a while.
"Okay. Then let's set it for ten days... Hey, why did you leave the room?" Before Xia Xingchen could finish her words, she turned around and saw someone appear in the hall.
She was quite shocked.
"What?"
Yu Zenan was completely confused over there.
"Nothing. Sorry, I'm very busy here and won't talk to you for now. See you in ten days." Xia Xingchen said and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Bai Yeqing took every step with great difficulty. Every movement caused every nerve in his body to ache. His steps were a little unsteady, and after walking a short distance from the room to the hall, cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.
Xia Xingchen was afraid that he would fall, so he did not dare to delay and ran over quickly.
I was anxious and when I entered the living room, my side hit the corner of the sofa back hard. It was a pretty serious impact.
She gasped in pain, frowned, and rubbed her brows, but her pace did not slow down at all.
She walked over, supported him, and couldn't help nagging: "Why did you come out? Doctor Fu told you to stay in bed and rest."
"I have to appear in public tomorrow, and I need to get used to the pain."
"You're going to appear in front of the media tomorrow?"
"Um."
Xia Xingchen frowned slightly, "But your current body can hold on for a while, if you hold on for too long, you will definitely not be able to bear it. Besides, you still have so many wounds that have not healed, there are so many people outside, and the weather is not very good. What if you get infected..."
The more she spoke, the more worried she became.
Bai Yeqing looked at her intently. The worry on her face suddenly made him feel that the wound didn't seem so painful anymore.
Lifting his thin lips, he only whispered, "How's your waist?"
"What?" His sudden question made Xia Xingchen a little confused. What waist
Bai Yeqing glanced at her, and then his uninjured hand suddenly grasped her waist.
With a little effort, she moved forward a step, almost touching his chest.
"Hmm..." Xia Xingchen moaned softly, her body stiffened, and she tried hard to keep a distance of less than a fist from him, "What... are you doing?"
His chest was covered with wounds, and she was afraid of hurting him, so she could only put her hands on his shoulders.
However, this man seemed to have completely forgotten his injury.
The big hand on her waist slid to the side and pressed accurately on the spot on her waist that had just been hit.
"It hurts..."
Xia Xingchen lightly frowned her beautiful eyebrows.
"Idiot!" Bai Yeqing looked down at her and scolded her softly. He rubbed the place where she was injured by rubbing his palm in circles again and again, patiently.
She was stunned.
When I realized what he was doing, I felt a little warmth and a little... inexplicable and subtle emotion...
His palm was warm. The heat, through the clothes, passed from his hand to her skin, seeping deep into her muscles. She felt that the pain just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.
leftover…
Only her completely disordered heartbeat and... the heat that made her feel uneasy and unable to control herself...
These past few days, she tried very hard to keep a safe distance from him, but right now...
The two of them were so close, so close that his handsome features could be seen clearly. Further down, his sexy Adam's apple and collarbone...
She lowered her head, not daring to look again.
This man must have been a demon in his previous life. Every part of him was impeccable...
"That... It's okay now, it doesn't hurt anymore..." Xia Xingchen finally found his voice.
A simple sentence was interrupted several times.
Bai Yeqing didn't stop what he was doing, he just lowered his eyes to look at her and asked, "What's going on with your work?"
"Ah?" She was too close to him, and her mind was a little confused.
"I just heard you talking on the phone - the Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected you?"
"Oh, yeah." Xia Xingchen's mind cleared up a little, "The day you got injured was the day I took the test. When Leng Fei sent someone to pick me up, I hadn't had time to take the test yet."
