Zhuang Baihua immediately stood up, stared at Chi Yue, and asked, "What did you say?"
Chi Yue's lips were moist and her eyes were misty. She looked at Zhuang Baihua with desire and blushed shyly, "I... love you."
Zhuang Baihua stared at him motionlessly.
Chi Yue turned around and saw that Zhuang Baihua didn't respond. The blush on her face quickly faded away, and she said in a calm voice, "Should I not have said it?"
Zhuang Baihua hugged him and laughed out loud: "You should have said it earlier!"
Chi Yue leaned in Zhuang Baihua's arms and blinked in confusion.
"Don't you feel the new atmosphere?"
Chi Yue: “?”
“Even the air has changed.”
Chi Yue raised her head and tried to sniff the air, but she didn't notice anything unusual.
"What do you mean?" Chi Yue was completely confused.
Zhuang Baihua held his face and excitedly told him: "You just told me the passcode! You have completed the ending of the whole book, you are free!"
Chi Yue showed a confused expression.
The two leaned against each other, and Zhuang Baihua told him what happened when he was unconscious. He finished reading the novel about Chi Yue and figured out the code to the ending from it.
"So the novel is finished, and you are free." Zhuang Baihua was very excited. "You don't have to worry about being controlled by the plot anymore. You can do whatever you want, free and worry-free."
After hearing this, Chi Yue said "hmm" softly, indicating that she understood.
Zhuang Baihua then realized that something was wrong with him and asked curiously, "Aren't you happy?"
Chi Yue shook her head and said, "No, I'm very happy."
This doesn't look like a happy mood at all. Zhuang Baihua leaned against the head of the bed, folded his arms, and said seriously: "Tell me what you are thinking about now."
Chi Yue lowered her head and glanced at the man's muscles which became more obvious because he was hugging his arms. Zhuang Baihua had been lying in the hospital bed for three months. Except for a slight loss of weight, his figure was still there. Chi Yue calmly picked up the quilt and covered him with it.
"I'm not cold, I'm even a little hot." Zhuang Baihua was puzzled.
Chi Yue said calmly: "If you want to continue chatting, just cover it up."
Although Zhuang Baihua didn't understand, he still did as he was told and continued the previous topic: "What do you think about this matter?"
Chi Yue was silent for a moment, then said, "There's nothing to see. I've been fooled too many times."
Zhuang Baihua's lips softened all of a sudden. He touched Chi Yue's face and said, "This time it must be true."
Chi Yue leaned over, stood shoulder to shoulder with him, and said, "Maybe, but I don't believe it now."
Zhuang Baihua didn't know what to say to dispel Chi Yue's doubts, so he could only say, "Remember what I said, there are two forces pulling at you. If you think about it carefully, you should be able to realize that you are not completely alone."
Chi Yue really thought about it and said, "It seems so."
Zhuang Baihua rubbed his hair and said, "Look at it from another perspective. Maybe letting you be reborn is not to harm you, but to prevent you from going down the wrong path in life."
"Is it the right life for me to pick one of those crazy people to be with?" Chi Yue said sinisterly.
Zhuang Baihua touched the tip of his nose and coughed, "Hmm... That's true. There are definitely positive forces influencing this world." He thought for a moment and speculated, "It may be from the author, it may be from the readers, who cares. I just want to say that no matter what kind of world you live in, there are good things and bad things. Don't always be so negative."
Chi Yue looked at Zhuang Baihua steadily. Zhuang Baihua bumped his shoulder and said with a smile, "Believe me, you are really free."
Chi Yue leaned over and kissed Zhuang Baihua on the lips. Zhuang Baihua half closed his eyes and opened his lips.
"I don't care about anything else, I only care about you." Chi Yue said, "If you leave me again, I can't guarantee what will happen."
He said these words in between kisses, his tone was eerie, but Zhuang Baihua was not afraid. Instead, he raised his hand and stroked his neck.
Chi Yue pulled Zhuang Baihua's hand down, lowered her head and kissed each finger one by one, from the fingertips to the arm, then to the shoulder, and gradually moved upwards, worshiping.
Zhuang Baihua gradually became addicted to Chi Yue's actions, and became drowsy and lost the ability to think.
Chi Yue threw away the quilt that was blocking them, and Zhuang Baihua asked blankly, "Isn't it cold now?"
Chi Yue smiled, kissed him again, and said vaguely: "Shh, because there is no need to chat."
He leaned against Zhuang Baihua's forehead and whispered, "Focus, I have other things to do now."
No matter how stupid Zhuang Baihua was, he realized Chi Yue's intention. He began to have a brief struggle between his conscience and his desires in his heart. He wondered if this was too indulgent, but he was also greedy for the pleasure of the moment, so he could only bite his lip and fell into confusion.
Chi Yue looked at his moist eyes and reddened corners of his eyes and couldn't help but say, "So beautiful."
Zhuang Baihua, who was thinner than paper, instantly got angry. He turned his head away in embarrassment, buried his face in the pillow, and said, "Bedside table..."
He spoke quietly, but Chi Yue still heard it and couldn't help laughing: "So thoughtful?"
Zhuang Baihua said awkwardly: "If you ignore me again, I'm ready to risk it all."
Chi Yue reached out to touch the things in the drawer of the bedside table and comforted him: "I'm sorry for making you worry. It's my fault. I will make it up to you now."
He held the thing in his hand, his face also reddened, and said, "Then please give me more advice."
Zhuang Baihua couldn't stand it anymore, and hugged the pillow like an ostrich: "Don't ask me, don't talk to me, I leave it to you."
Chi Yue was helpless because of his fearless attitude. She hugged him with a red face and whispered, "I like you."
In the end, Zhuang Baihua was in a state of confusion. If he was asked to recall the details, he would blush so much that his face would explode.
Many years later, Chi Yue couldn't help but ask Zhuang Baihua: "Why did you acquiesce to me that night? Didn't you ever think about... the other way around?"
Zhuang Baihua glared at him and said seriously, "Shouldn't young people do this kind of thing?"
He spoke confidently, but he couldn't hide his red ears. Chi Yue put her arms around his waist intimately and said with a smile: "I will be responsible for my whole life."
At that time, Zhuang Baihua didn't know that they would have such a conversation in the future. He only knew that when he woke up the next day, his whole body was sore and he felt like he had been run over by a car.
He used all his strength to turn over and face the young man beside him.
Chi Yue stood up, leaned over and asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhuang Baihua said quietly, "Ignore me, let me calm down."
"Why should I stay calm?" Chi Yue persisted.
“I’m being self-critical.”
"Why do we have to engage in self-criticism?" Chi Yue lay on the bed and kissed the back of Zhuang Baihua's neck.
Zhuang Baihua could no longer tolerate the spoiled puppy, so he pushed him away and said, "I'm reflecting on how I could let a 21-year-old college student do whatever he wanted."
For the first time, Chi Yue showed a silly smile: "Hehe."
Zhuang Baihua: “…” There’s no hope.
The two of them stayed in bed for a long time, and finally had to get up because they were hungry.
Chi Yue asked Zhuang Baihua to sleep a little longer while she went to cook. Zhuang Baihua would not allow himself to fall into such a state and struggled to get up.
He carefully took a shirt and put it on, paying great attention to protecting his waist, but he still suddenly made a "hissing" sound.
Chi Yue was startled and asked quickly, "What's wrong?"
Zhuang Baihua's face turned red, Chi Yue came over, put her hand on his lower back and said, "Let me rub it for you."
Zhuang Baihua clapped his hands: "Not there."
Chi Yue was curious: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Zhuang Baihua would never tell this kid that his chest was hurting from the rubbing of his shirt.
It's all someone's fault for acting like a puppy last night.
Zhuang Baihua originally wanted to stay at home for a few more days. He was prepared for a long battle and let Chi Yue slowly return to normal. Unexpectedly, it only took one day.
Then Zhuang Baihua decided to end his vacation early and go to the company.
Because if we continue like this it would be too degenerate.
Chi Yue is sweet and clingy when she is at home, but becomes cold and silent again when she goes out.
Zhuang Baihua knew that it would take time to recover to a normal physical state. Only with enough time could Chi Yue's internal injuries be slowly healed.
Chi Yue insisted on following Zhuang Baihua, and Zhuang Baihua followed him.
So Zhuang Baihua came to the company with a little tail following him.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the company, he found a banner hung at the door and the employees standing in the lobby held a grand welcome ceremony for him to celebrate the president's return from recovery.
Zhuang Baihua was very moved and said to the employees with a smile: "Thank you for your care. From now on, I will take care of my health. I hope everyone can be healthy as well. Let us move forward together and strive for the growth of the company!"
Everyone applauded enthusiastically, and regardless of whether they wanted to or not, they all had smiles on their faces and were extremely happy.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhuang Baihua asked everyone to disperse and took Chi Yue to the president's office by elevator.
The employees in the president's office were not surprised to see Chi Yue and they all congratulated Zhuang Baihua on his recovery. Secretary Chen's eyes turned red as he looked at the president who reappeared in the office.
"Thank you for your hard work." Zhuang Baihua patted Chen Wang on the shoulder.
Secretary Chen said with a choked voice: "It's not hard, serving the people."
Zhuang Baihua: “…”
Okay, you are officially the successor.
Chi Yue entered Zhuang Baihua's office openly and stayed there all day. He watched Zhuang Baihua while he worked and followed him back home when it was time to get off work.
The two of them were like conjoined twins. Zhuang Baihua knew that he was still adjusting his mindset and did not rush him.
Secretary Chen was a little uncomfortable with this.
He acknowledged that the evil concubine had become the empress, but Empress Chi had no self-awareness at all. Not only did she not assist the emperor, she also delayed the emperor's morning court. Didn't the ministers who came to the audience see that the office... Ah, no, is there someone in the court who feels uncomfortable
While serving tea and snacks to Zhuang Baihua, Secretary Chen glanced at Chi Yue quietly.
Chi Yue always had a stern face except when facing Zhuang Baihua. He raised his head and happened to catch Secretary Chen's gaze.
He straightened up, picked up a nut from the fruit plate brought by Secretary Chen, and approached Zhuang Baihua, saying, "You must be tired, do you want to eat something to replenish your energy?"
After saying that, he naturally handed the nuts in his hand to Zhuang Baihua's mouth. Zhuang Baihua didn't even raise his head, continued to read the documents, and just opened his mouth, and Chi Yue fed the food into him.
Zhuang Baihua didn't think much about the whole process and didn't notice any problems at all.
Chi Yue raised an eyebrow at Secretary Chen.
Secretary Chen placed the teacup on the president's desk in grief and anger, then turned and left the office.
This queen, not only caused chaos in the harem, but she was also so petty and deliberately showed off in front of him.
