It seemed as if this was the last kiss, and as if he wanted to suck her into his stomach. Even though her lips were red, swollen and painful from the kiss, he did not hold back on his passion.
Xia Xingchen choked up, unable to help herself, she stretched out her hands and clasped his neck. She wanted to get closer to him, closer...
She didn't know how long they kissed, until her tears covered her little face and bitterness filled every inch of her heart, then his lips reluctantly withdrew an inch from hers.
When they looked into each other's eyes, there was a thin layer of mist in each other's eyes. However, through the hazy mist, the other's emotions were so clear...
He took a deep breath, as if he was very reluctant to let her go, and hugged her tightly again. Xia Xingchen buried her face in his neck, greedily breathing in the breath that belonged only to him. The reluctance and heartache in his heart spread deeper and deeper, and lasted longer and longer...
"Ye Qing..." She sighed his name softly, two words, like a sigh.
"Um?"
"...Have I ever told you that I really love you?" She whispered softly. She used to be reserved and shy, but now she confessed without even a trace of hesitation. Every word was sincere.
Her lips, pressed against the skin of his neck, moved. Those few words made Bai Yeqing's body tremble, his heart was turbulent, and a complicated emotion surged.
"... I never said that." He started, subconsciously tightening his arms around her, paused, and then said, "Say it again, let me hear it."
Xia Xingchen suddenly laughed, her eyes sparkling with tears. She leaned on his shoulder, shook her head, and spoke as easily as if she was acting like a spoiled child: "I won't say any more. If you say this kind of thing too much, it's worthless. I won't fall for your trick!"
Bai Yeqing didn't force her, but held the back of her head and straightened her body. The two of them looked at each other, and at that moment, Xia Xingchen's nose felt sore and she was about to cry again...
He looked very tired, obviously from the recent streak of work.
However, these people never expressed any sympathy for him...
"I heard from Ruigang that you didn't sleep well over there." She raised her hand distressedly, her fingers passed under his eyes, and the reluctance in her heart became stronger. After she and the child left, could he sleep well? Could he take good care of himself
Worried...
Very worried...
However, she had no choice but to leave temporarily.
Facing her admonition, Bai Yeqing nodded. However, he had long been accustomed to this little woman sleeping beside him, so without her, it was difficult for him to get enough sleep.
He held her little face in his hands, inserted his long fingers into her hair, and stared at her with a serious look, "Take a good rest there for a while, quit your job temporarily, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Are you willing?"
Xia Xingchen did not nod. With tears in her eyes, she held his hand that was holding her face, rubbing her face in his palm, feeling his body temperature.
My heart is so sad...
So bitter...
She didn't know if they would have a chance to be together in the future. Now, there are too many variables...
"Hold your tears and stop crying." Bai Yeqing wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes with his long fingers, "Stay in Liangcheng obediently and don't watch any news."
Finally, he added: "Wait for me to pick you up."
Xia Xingchen raised her wet eyelashes, "So... when will you come to pick us up?"
Bai Yeqing's eyes were deep, and his thumb caressed her cheek lovingly, "Can't you wait until you leave?"
Can't wait...
Also afraid...
I’m afraid that with this separation, there will really be no future…
Just thinking about it makes my heart feel like it's about to break apart. It hurts so much...
"If that's the case, why don't you just not go anywhere and stay by my side?"
She shook her head.
She knew the difference between the important and the unimportant, and didn't want to cause him any more trouble.
"Your Mightiness."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside. Leng Fei's voice came from outside.
Bai Yeqing still held Xia Xingchen's hand tightly and asked loudly, "What's the matter?"
"The young master has arrived."
Xia Xingchen quickly held back the tears on her face and raised her hand to wipe them away. Bai Yeqing then spoke: "Let him in."
Then, the door was opened and the child walked in. He was still as innocent as ever, completely unaware of what was going on. He was very happy to see the two of them. He ran towards them with a smile, "Xiaobai, you're back?"
"Um."
Bai Yeqing looked at the child with a slightly deep look in his eyes. He squatted down and picked up the child from the ground.
"How are you feeling?"
His little brows were tightly knitted, "It still hurts a little."
"It's okay. A doctor will go with you. If you have any questions, remember to tell the doctor."
Xia Dabai hugged his neck with his two little arms, hummed heavily, and then tilted his little head and asked with regret: "Xiaobai, aren't you going to see grandma with us?"
"…" Bai Yeqing said nothing. Xia Xingchen stood by him, forced a smile, and replied to the child, "Xiaobai will go if there is a chance in the future. He is very busy now and has no time to go with us."
"Oh, okay then. But, Xiaobai, what should I do if I miss you? I haven't seen you for so long, and now I have to leave again. I really can't bear to leave!" Xia Dabai muttered to himself.
He was a child, and he didn't express his emotions like an adult, but just said whatever he felt. But now, at this moment, these words, to the ears of the two adults, were filled with sadness.
Bai Yeqing's throat was dry and bitter. Looking at the child's innocent face, he couldn't utter a word.
Xia Xingchen knew that he was also feeling bad, so she looked at him and patted the child's head, "You won't stay here for long."
"I'll pick you up!"
This sentence sounded like a reply to a child, but it was also directed at Xia Xingchen. Every word was very important, like a solemn promise.
Xia Xingchen raised her lips and smiled, "We are all waiting for you..."
"Sir, the high-speed train has arrived." Although Leng Fei was reluctant, he still gave a spoiler's reminder.
Bai Yeqing's hands hanging at his sides tensed a little.
It was clearly just a short separation, but the feeling this time was worse than any previous time.
Xia Xingchen took the ticket from Leng Fei and glanced at him, "Then... let's go first."
Bai Yeqing nodded slightly. He couldn't leave the VIP room. There were so many eyes outside. If he showed up, he would definitely be used as a topic of discussion.
"Send them to the car," he ordered Ruigang.
Rui Gang nodded, "Miss Xia, come with me."
Xia Xingchen held the child and walked out step by step. For the first time, she felt that every step became so heavy. She looked back at him, and he was still standing there, not moving a step, staring at them with a gloomy look, watching their backs walking away step by step...
