Qiqi was shocked again by Professor Tian's words. Her hands holding the bag were shaking. When she spoke again, her voice was trembling. "You mean... the person who accompanied me here for the examination is... the one who is going to perform a live organ removal on me?"
"Yes. I told him at the time that live organ removal is no joke. I couldn't bear to have a healthy eye dug out alive, and the child is so pretty. "
Qiqi felt groggy and her eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist. She fumbled for her cell phone from her bag and searched the Internet for a long time before finally finding a photo of Tang Jue.
Just looking at his photo, her nose was already sore.
He took a deep breath and handed the phone to Professor Tian. "Professor Tian, please take a closer look. Does the person who was with me before look like this?"
Professor Tian adjusted his glasses on his nose, squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and immediately said, "That's the kid."
"Are you sure... you didn't make a mistake?"
"There's no doubt about it! Such a good-looking kid, I would recognize him even after 18 years, let alone eight years. He is the one who impressed me the most." Professor Tian said with certainty, without the slightest hesitation.
Qiqi was completely frozen in place.
so…
Tang Tang is Tang Jue.
so…
He said that he would look for her to take his life back.
so…
This stupid man once really planned to sacrifice one of his eyes in exchange for half of her sight.
so…
He still remembered her, but she... didn't recognize him at all. She didn't even recognize his voice...
The tears in Qiqi's eyes kept gathering, until finally, with a slight blink of her eyelashes, they fell. In a short while, the tears soaked her entire face.
"Hey, why are you crying? Are you okay?" Professor Tian was a little suspicious and puzzled.
Qiqi didn't want to lose her composure in front of outsiders, so she came to her senses, hurriedly wiped away her tears, and said "thank you" to Professor Tian several times before leaving the hospital.
——
At this point, the night has gradually covered the entire city, the lights are on, and the city is prosperous and bustling.
Qiqi walked through the night in a daze, and scenes from the past jumped out of her mind like a movie.
No wonder Youyou said she had seen her own photo in Tang Jue's room; no wonder Tang Jue knew so many of her private habits, even the retro camera she wanted to see...
She was too careless.
If I had thought about it carefully, I might have already found some clues and wouldn't have allowed myself to ruin his heart again and again...
Qiqi hailed a taxi back to Tangmen in a daze. She was so immersed in her own thoughts that she didn't notice her cell phone ringing again and again.
————
More than an hour later.
No one answered her call. This was the first time Tang Jue was so anxious. He was worried that the little woman would be scared away by the old man's words.
Finally, he called home directly.
"Hello." The butler's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Has Qiqi come back?" Tang Jue asked almost immediately.
"Miss Qi has just returned."
Tang Jue was obviously relieved. His hands on the steering wheel also relaxed. His eyes fell on the road ahead. The lights of the city slowly passed over his face, making his face even more beautiful.
"Keep an eye on her and don't let her go out before I come back." After a while, he continued to instruct the housekeeper.
"Yes, young master."
"How is she feeling now?"
"When Miss Qi came back, she was distraught and her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. As soon as she came back, she went into her room. When I asked her if she had eaten dinner, she didn't answer."
"..." Tang Jue's thin lips tightened a little, and his brows furrowed. What was the old man doing? Was he afraid that he would get married too early, or that he was too idle, so he deliberately came to cause trouble for him? He felt it necessary to call his grandmother who was on vacation to complain.
"I'll be back soon. If she shows any unusual behavior, call me immediately." After repeated instructions, Tang Jue hung up the phone.
Then the car sped all the way back.
————
Tang Jue walked in, took off his coat and handed it to the servant. The housekeeper waited respectfully beside him and asked, "Young Master, do you want to have dinner now? In the kitchen..."
"What are you still eating?" Tang Jue was in no mood. He took off his tie, interrupted the other person's unnecessary words, and asked, "Where's Qiqi?"
"Miss Qi has never come down from upstairs."
Tang Jue frowned, "It's been so long, and you didn't ask her to come down for dinner?"
"Miss Qi is in a bad mood, and I'm afraid to disturb her, so...how about I go upstairs and ask Miss Qi to come down now?" The housekeeper asked while secretly glancing at the young master's expression.
"No need, I'll go up and take a look."
After Tang Jue finished speaking, he strode upstairs.
He pushed the door and went into Qiqi's room, but it was dark and no one was there. Tang Jue came out immediately and looked around upstairs. Finally, when he opened his own door, his heart finally settled down.
There were several spotlights in the window of his room.
She had already taken a shower, changed into pajamas, and curled up on his bed. She didn't even cover herself with a blanket, just slept with her body uncovered. If you lower your head and look carefully, you can see the tears still lingering in the corners of her eyes.
Tang Jue felt a pain in his heart.
I'm afraid the old man really scared her.
He didn't wake her up, but walked over slowly and gently lifted a corner of the gray quilt, trying to cover her slender body. Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved, she slowly opened her eyes.
There is a hazy mist in my eyes.
After seeing him, the mist turned into a layer of moisture, spreading out, about to drip. Tang Jue's breathing tightened, and countless pity spread in his heart.
It was because he didn't answer her call in time that she suffered injustice from the old man.
"I've been waiting for you. I got tired of waiting, so I fell asleep..." Qiqi spoke first, her voice a little hoarse.
Her eyes were filled with tears, but she was still staring at Tang Jue. Tang Jue touched her little face with his fingers and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "My grandfather said those words just to tease you. Don't take them to heart, let alone seriously. He is old and a little confused."
When Qiqi heard what Tang Jue said, she felt extremely bitter, "Tang Jue, don't lie to me... What Grandpa said is true..."
"Okay, if you take it seriously, then it's true!" Tang Jue held her little face, "But, Qiqi, listen carefully, in this life, I have decided that it's you! No matter what his attitude is, or what the Tang family's attitude is towards you, it can't affect my thoughts. Even you can't change my mind. If you dare to run, I will still tie you back!"
