Bai Yeqing was tired, so he sent all the servants away and sat alone in the hall. There was no one else around, and only then did his face show a look of pain besides fatigue.
Xia Xingchen looked from top to bottom and felt a dull pain in his chest.
After careful consideration, she finally walked downstairs silently and tiptoed into the kitchen.
…
"Have a drink of water."
The gentle voice came into his ears, and he slowly opened his eyes from his rest on the sofa with his eyes closed. What he saw was her fresh little face.
A cup of hot water was placed in his palm. The warmth spread from his palm to the depths of his heart.
"Have you taken your medicine today?" Xia Xingchen asked.
"Yes. Doctor Fu has seen it."
"... Are you okay?" She lowered her head and looked at the place where he was injured.
Bai Yeqing nodded slightly as a reply.
He took a sip of water, Xia Xingchen thought for a moment, and said, "I've actually been waiting for you to come back, and I want to say thank you to you."
Bai Yeqing looked at her from bottom to top, "What's the matter?"
Just as Xia Xingchen was about to speak, the phone in her pajamas pocket suddenly rang. She took it out and looked at it, surprised.
It turned out to be Yu Zenan.
"I need to take a call first." After saying that to him, she turned around, took the phone and put it to her ear.
"Why are you calling so late today?"
"I couldn't sleep because I missed you." Yu Zenan's tone was still so nonchalant.
Xia Xingchen found it funny, "Stop being so poor."
"I guess you must be very happy now. So, you must be unable to sleep now."
"How do you know I'm happy?"
"This young master not only knows that you are happy, but also knows why you are happy."
"Really? Then tell me why I am so happy." Xia Xingchen still didn't believe that he really had such magical powers.
"Did you get the job done?" Yu Zenan said with a proud tone, "I told you that you are very capable, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will definitely invite you back sooner or later."
Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment.
"How do you know so much?"
Yu Zenan smiled and said, "What do you think? You're not so stupid that you can't figure this out, right?"
"So, the reason I can go back is because of you..."
The other party said "hmm" without comment, and Xia Xingchen finally understood and subconsciously glanced at Bai Yeqing beside him.
so…
Was she being too sentimental again? She said, how could he be so partial to her for such a small matter
I don't know why, but I feel a little disappointed. Fortunately, I haven't finished saying "thank you". Otherwise, my self-conceit would seem quite stupid in front of him.
She twitched her lips bitterly, and after a while she remembered something important. She came back to her senses and asked, "But who are you, and how can you be able to handle these things?"
"Miss Xia, shouldn't you ask when we can have dinner together as a token of your gratitude?"
"Of course, I must thank you very much. However, since you are my blind date, I have to figure out what kind of person you are. What if you sell me out when I go out with you next time?" After Xia Xingchen finished speaking, her whole heart was on Yu Zenan's identity. She didn't notice the cold gaze cast by someone next to her because of the word "blind date".
It seems that the blind date experience was really pleasant.
So, are they going to be in a relationship? Or does she really plan to marry him
Bai Yeqing's hand holding the teacup tightened slightly.
"Hahaha." Yu Zenan laughed heartily over there. "How about this, aren't we going to meet in a few days? When we meet, I'll tell you, how about that?"
"My grandma said you were just an ordinary divorced middle school teacher."
"Your grandmother is old, it's normal for her to be confused sometimes. But let me make it clear that I'm still a virgin, and divorce is complete nonsense."
Xia Xingchen smiled, "Stop lying. I'd be surprised if I believed you."
"Okay, it's getting late. You have something important to do tomorrow, so I won't keep you. We'll meet at Gomus Golf Course in eight days. Or, just give me an address and I'll pick you up directly. Come early and have breakfast with me then."
"Gomus Stadium?" Xia Xingchen thought for a moment, "Got it. See you in eight days."
"Uh-huh, goodnight!"
"Good night!"
The two said good night to each other, and Xia Xingchen hung up the phone. Until now, she was still wondering what kind of identity Yu Zenan had.
A middle school teacher? A divorced man
The information this grandma gave is too unreliable. At first glance, he is just a cynical and disrespectful young master!
As she was thinking, she heard a rustling sound behind her. She came back to her senses and turned around to see Bai Yeqing standing up from the sofa.
His face was very ugly, his facial lines were tense, and the teacup in his hand slammed heavily on the low table in front of him. In such a quiet night, there was a loud sound, which was particularly sharp and piercing.
Xia Xingchen was startled and looked at him in confusion.
He walked upstairs with heavy steps, his back stiff and cold, as if covered by a layer of ice.
She frowned slightly, feeling puzzled. Did she offend him? Why did he look so unhappy
Xia Xingchen didn't dare to ask, since he had always been a moody person.
She followed him upstairs silently.
I slowed down my pace cautiously and didn't overtake him. However, from behind, I could see that his injuries were still quite serious, and his steps became heavier with each step he took.
Until Xia Xingchen had walked to the door of her room, she stopped and looked at the man's back. She hesitated for a moment, but still said nothing. She just opened the door and prepared to go in.
"Xia Xingchen!"
Bai Yeqing suddenly turned around and called her name. He said these three words very hard, as if biting her. His eyes fell heavily on her.
Now, she was even more certain that she had offended him.
She subconsciously stood up straight and looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
The two of them were only one step away from each other. The man's gloomy eyes made her feel very oppressive.
"What exactly do you see?"
he asks.
"Ah? What?" She was even more confused by the question.
Bai Yeqing took a long step forward and approached her in an instant. His tall figure cast a shadow under the light, covering her tightly.
Before Xia Xingchen could react, her chin was pinched and lifted by the man's long fingers.
The two people looked at each other, and the haze in his eyes became even thicker.
"You're attracted to an ordinary divorced middle school teacher? Are you so hungry for men that you can't wait to find a random man?"
Hungry...
casual…
Every word was filled with sarcasm, piercing Xia Xingchen's eardrums and her heart like thorns.
