"They said something happened to your uncle, and your family couldn't find you, so they called him."
When Qiqi heard this, she looked at Tang Jue and almost immediately got up from the bed.
Tang Jue pulled her, but found nothing. She hurriedly tidied her clothes and hair, and walked to the door barefoot. She opened the door and asked the housekeeper, "Did he say anything happened to my uncle?"
"I heard that he suddenly fainted at home and is now being rushed to the hospital."
Qiqi's face changed, and without saying a word, she walked out worriedly.
"Why are you running?" However, after taking just one step, Tang Jue grabbed him from behind.
Qiqi turned around and looked at Tang Jue, the anxiety in her eyes never dissipated, "I have to go to the hospital now. My uncle must have sent my sister to the same hospital. You go to sleep first, I may not be back tonight."
Tang Jue frowned, not liking her words "You go to bed first". He just took off his slippers and put them in front of her, "Put them on properly, don't go barefoot. Go to the room and change your clothes."
Qiqi was originally barefoot. She looked down at his slippers in front of her and her heart trembled slightly. She put them on obediently, then remembered something and looked up at him, "You just told me, what is my uncle actually like?"
"Let's talk about it another day. Go ahead and do your thing tonight. Many things can't be explained in just a few words."
Qiqi looked at Tang Jue, thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Then I'll go back and change my clothes first."
He nodded.
Qiqi changed her clothes and came out. When she went downstairs, she saw Tang Jue in the living room. She was already dressed neatly, holding the car keys in her slender fingers.
She looked at him uncertainly.
"Don't waste time, let's go."
"Forget it. Just let the driver from home take me there." Qiqi looked gentle but said words of refusal.
"Are you afraid that I'll be seen by your family?" There was no emotion on Tang Jue's charming face, but his lowered voice revealed a bit of his displeasure.
"No." Qiqi shook her head and explained softly, "You just came back from a business trip and you're already so tired. You don't need to make another trip."
She really meant what she said. She really meant what she said.
As soon as the words fell, a glimmer of light flashed across Tang Jue's obsidian eyes. His eyes deepened as he stared at Qi Qi. A smile slowly spread from the bottom of his eyes, gradually filling his entire eyes, and then deepened, "Are you feeling sorry for me?"
Qiqi's heart missed a beat.
She looked at him, felt his smile, then quickly and uncomfortably looked away, ignored him, and walked out alone. Because the words of the person involved touched her heart, under the bright lights at night, the girl's face turned red.
Tang Jue looked at the back and smiled even more. He stretched out his long legs and chased after her.
————
Qiqi was very nervous, not knowing what had happened to her uncle.
There were several calls from Qi Yu on her mobile phone. She got in the car before she called Qi Yu.
"Qiqi, I've been looking for you for a long time. Has Mo Xun talked to you?" As soon as the call was connected, Qi Qi's voice came from the other end.
"Yes. What's going on?"
"My dad was fine, but he suddenly fainted. He's still in the emergency room and hasn't come out yet..." Qi Yu said this with tears in her voice, "Qi Qi, tell me... isn't my dad usually fine? He was full of energy and he was even able to catch thieves a few days ago. How could he faint all of a sudden?"
Qi Yu became more and more choked up as she spoke.
Qiqi was also very upset. After so many years without her parents, Qiyong was almost like her biological father.
"What did the doctor say? Did he say what the cause was?"
"We are still investigating. We don't know the exact cause yet."
"Then let's wait until the test results come out. I'm on my way to the hospital now and will be there soon."
"Okay. Now that you're here, we can talk. I'll feel better."
The two of them hung up the phone without talking any more. Affected by Qi Yu's mood, Qi Qi felt even more depressed, and her heart was in a knot.
Tang Jue reached out and held her hand on her knee. Qiqi felt warm. She turned to look at him. His eyes were still on the road, and he was driving attentively. "I'll go find Tang Song tomorrow and ask him to be your uncle's attending physician."
"..." Qiqi felt a little grateful in her heart, and after a while she added softly: "Thank you."
Only then did Tang Jue turn around and look at her. He didn't say anything to comfort her, but just silently held her hand tighter.
Tang Jue was a pampered man. Even though he played with guns frequently, his hands were still free of calluses. His fingers were long and white, and he held her hand tightly. Qiqi could feel that all his comfort was contained in this grip.
A trace of warmth passed through her heart, and her original anxiety was magically temporarily dissipated because of him. She couldn't break away from the man's strength and warmth, but instead became a little greedy.
Subconsciously, her fingers gently clasped his hand behind his back.
Even with such a small movement, Tang Jue was shocked. His eyes swept across her little face deeply.
She felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, so she suddenly moved closer to him, without looking at him, and asked, "Can I borrow your shoulder to sleep on for a while?"
“… Of course.” After a moment of silence, he answered calmly and with restraint.
Qiqi then gently rested her head on his right shoulder.
The girl's gentle fragrance drifted over from the right, entwined with her even and shallow breathing, and drifted into his nostrils.
Tang Jue felt his blood boiling, and his hands on the steering wheel tightened. His eyes swept from the road to her peaceful little face as she took a nap, back and forth.
Damn it! He found himself like a childish boy, his heart beating uncontrollably because of her active approach!
This is just borrowing your shoulder!
He even slept with her!
How come I have become so useless
Tang Jue felt that she was deliberately teasing him. If he had known this, he should have let the driver drive. It was very dangerous to be unable to concentrate on driving.
"Are you nervous?" Qiqi suddenly opened her eyes and looked up at him.
From her angle, she could only see the taut line of his jaw.
Tang Jue coughed lightly, "Is there?"
"Well, you're pretty tense."
"…" This little woman is really talking about something that is not relevant. Tang Jue smiled brilliantly and looked down at her, with a hint of bluffing, "Baby, if a woman is so close to a man, if she doesn't tense up, wouldn't she be too unattractive?"
