After hearing Jiang Qi's words, Zhi Qi didn't answer.
There was a dead silence in the room, the girl stared at him, and asked stubbornly: "I'm asking you, have you ever thought about me?"
Jiang Qi couldn't help closing his eyes.
Think, how could you not want to? He nodded slowly.
"No, you didn't." Zhi Qi smiled wryly and shook her head: "If you liked me that much, you wouldn't do that."
Jiang Qi felt a 'thump' in his heart, and stood up abruptly to explain, but the girl's soft little hand covered his lips.
"Hush." Zhi Qi looked at Jiang Qi, and in the panicked eyes of the other party, the smile on the corner of his lips was slightly bitter: "But I still like you very much."
The girl's confession at this moment was extremely abrupt, and Jiang Qi's heart jumped suddenly.
"Even, I like you even more." Zhiqi stood on tiptoe, and kissed lightly on the young man's delicate mandible: "I am very grateful to that old man."
In any case, he didn't let Jiang Qi really commit a crime, and he didn't let his hands get blood. And Jiang Qi's approach is precisely the one she admires the most - girls don't hate teenagers with criminal records, but only hate hypocrites without pride.
The girl's sudden intimacy and expression made Jiang Qi too late to be pleasantly surprised, so he was uneasy: "Did you... forgive me?"
"I'm still a little angry now, but maybe it's okay, but," Zhi Qi looked at him firmly, "I want you to promise me one thing."
Jiang Qi didn't ask anything, just nodded.
No matter what Zhiqi asked him to do, he would agree.
However, Jiang Qi didn't expect that the thing Zhiqi asked him to agree to was hospitalization.
In Lin Lan's Fifth Hospital in Linjiang, the young man was wearing a blue-brown striped hospital gown, leaning against the head of the bed, looking thin and thin, with only a pair of eyes looking puzzled at Zhiqi who came back after helping him with the hospitalization procedures.
"Qiqi." Jiang Qi hesitated for a moment, but still said slowly: "Actually, I have been taking medicine since I was released from prison... Do I have to be hospitalized?"
He always felt that being hospitalized made people feel inexplicably trapped in a 'cage'.
"Yeah." However, Zhiqi's attitude was non-negotiable, she smiled, and took the porridge she was carrying to Jiang Qi: "Be obedient, stay for a month first and then talk about it."
It is true that Jiang Qi has no physical problems that need to be hospitalized, but his nerves and psychology need to be recuperated in a planned way in the hospital.
Zhiqi asked the doctor, Jiang Qi is not incurable.
It's just a psychological disease, and treatment is always a long process.
Jiang Qi was a little unhappy, but after all, he agreed to Zhi Qi, so he didn't resist anymore.
He just lowered his head and asked sullenly like a child having a temper: "What about a month later?"
"A month later..." Zhiqi smiled: "Let's talk."
She believes that Jiang Qi will change a lot within this month, and it is not impossible to be discharged from the hospital by then.
Because in the twenty-one years of his current life, the young man has rarely lived a "normal person" or "ordinary person" life.
From the continuous abuse and rape in his youth, to being imprisoned later, to entering the entertainment industry in a muddle... He never rests a day.
Zhiqi really hoped that Jiang Qi could live a few days of normal life in the fifth courtyard, a sanatorium with beautiful mountains and rivers.
There are no unruly paparazzi here to disturb, only a quiet and gentle atmosphere, just the two of them. What's more important is that the hospital needs to be registered when going out, and she is the emergency contact, so that Jiang Qi will not be afraid that Jiang Qi will sneak away again.
"Don't worry." The little girl sat opposite the boy, stretched out her paw and rubbed his face: "I'll come to see you after class."
Zhiqi suddenly mentioned the word 'attend class', and Jiang Qi remembered that he still had a dream of supplementing his education to complete his studies. Now it seems that it is really a dream.
Jiang Qi didn't want Zhi Qi to worry, so he forced a smile and nodded.
After a while, he didn't know what he thought of, and added: "Don't delay your studies."
"No way." Zhiqi rested her chin on her small hands, blinked her big dark eyes, "We're going to be on vacation soon."
Now at the beginning of January, the winter vacation is almost half a month away.
Jiang Qi was startled when he heard this, and asked in a murmur, "Is it so fast?"
"Yeah, it's almost New Year's Eve." Zhi Qi smiled and said softly, "Jiang Qi, this year is over, and all the bad luck will be over."
When spring comes, everything will be fine.
She will always be with him.
Zhiqi took Jiang Qi's car keys and house keys, and decided to go to Jiang Qi's house to pack some daily necessities for him according to the location map he gave.
The house Jiang Qi lives in was rented with the help of Qiu Mi before. It is located in Huxinting Street in the bustling area of Dongcheng District. Leased for two years.
Calculating now, there is still a little over a year left, logically speaking, the house should be returned and the rent should be returned to Shen Lei.
But when Zhiqi asked, Jiang Qi just shook his head: "Forget it, don't make him angry."
He has caused many troubles to Shen Lei this year and made him angry, now that he has retired from the circle, don't bother him with these petty things.
The money for renting a house is nothing more than a drop in the ocean to Shen Lei, but if he really repays it, it will make Shen Lei feel that he doesn't consider him a friend.
Not so.
In Jiang Qi's heart, Shen Lei and Qiu Mi are his rare friends, and he doesn't want to let them down.
Zhiqi walked into the Huxinting community and entered the building, entered the password in front of the door that Jiang Qi said, and walked in.
The room where no one came back for a while didn't even turn on the air conditioner, it was cold and empty, and Zhi Qi couldn't help shivering as soon as she entered.
Afterwards, the little girl subconsciously glanced at Jiang Qi's living environment.
There is no house less than 115 square meters in this high-end community. Jiang Qi's living space alone is huge, the decoration style is good, and the furniture is also readily available, but... it is deserted, indescribably deserted.
I don't know if it's because the furniture in the house is all black and gray in cool tones, or because the owner of the house hasn't come back for a few days.
Zhiqi sighed softly, looked around, and went to Jiang Qi's bedroom to help him pack his clothes.
She had expected that Jiang Qi would not have such a 'home' thing as a suitcase, and had prepared a small trolley suitcase in advance, and she didn't know if it would be enough for it.
Zhi Qi thought about it, but when she opened the cabinet door beside the bed in the bedroom, her eyes froze.
It seems that what she was worried about before was completely nonsense, Jiang Qi's closet was empty, and there were not many clothes at all.
Compared with 'can't fit', now the little girl is worried about not being able to fill it.
Does this mean that Jiang Qi doesn't regard this as a home at all, but only as a 'place to stay'.
Just like Yanqian returning to the south, all the journeys experienced on the way are just habitats, Zhiqi thought about it, and couldn't help showing a bitter smile.
She packed the few clothes in the teenager's closet into a box, then went to the bathroom to pack some toothbrushes, razors and other essentials, and then opened the box to leave.
But when passing by the living room, Zhiqi was attracted by the medicine bottle on the coffee table in front of the sofa.
Zhiqi hesitated for a moment, let go of her fingers holding the trolley case, and walked towards the sofa.
This sofa is made of soft genuine leather imported from Italy, the kind that will wrinkle after sleeping for a long time, but when she got closer, she found that there were shallow wrinkles on the gray leather surface, no one has been here for so many days... It seems Jiang Qi sleeps more frequently on the sofa than on the bed.
Zhi Qi shook her head helplessly, sat down and looked down at the medicine bottle on the coffee table, with a lot of dense English words on it, but Zhi Qi recognized it as painkiller.
And it is not an ordinary painkiller, it is a prescription drug that only a doctor can prescribe.
People who take this painkiller are generally in unbearable pain.
Zhiqi suddenly remembered the scene she saw in the hospital that day when she took advantage of Jiang Qi's sleep and lifted the thin blanket on his body and unbuttoned his shirt.
There are countless scars on the young man's white and thin body.
Burns, knife wounds, blunt force injuries... densely packed, layer after layer.
At that time, Zhi Qi bit her knuckles tightly and dared not make a sound, leaving a deep tooth mark.
She tried to calm down and put Jiang Qi's clothes back to their original shape, but her hands were trembling uncontrollably—that night, the girl's long-awaited nightmare came again.
In the dream, Jiang Qi was still the teenage boy who was abused and beaten by people with blurred faces, but she could only watch helplessly, unable to help, she could only watch... Zhi Qi woke up from the dream crying of.
Crying non-stop in the middle of the night, Meng Chunyu was frightened by her, came to the bed and hugged her and coaxed her, saying: Don't be afraid of nightmares, dreams are deceiving.
It's a pity that Chun Yu didn't know that her nightmare was not a lie, it was real.
Zhiqi finally understood why Jiang Qi always wore long-sleeved trousers in Lin Lan's hottest July and August days. She looked hot when she looked at them, and she also said that he should wear thinner ones and short-sleeved ones shorts.
Thinking about it now, it's really naive.
Jiang Qi just didn't want to expose his scars that couldn't be covered at all.
A crystal teardrop hit the medicine bottle held by Su Bai's fingers, Zhi Qi came back to his senses, and quickly wiped his eyes with his hand.
She sniffed, and couldn't help laughing at herself—she seems to have become a crybaby recently, always crying, what a shame.
But... She really loves Jiang Qi.
Zhiqi resisted the soreness in his eyes, glanced to see that there was no paper drawer on the table, and then opened the drawer of the coffee table to wipe his eyes with some paper.
But as soon as she opened the drawer, Zhi Qi even forgot what was in it.
There are many, many medicines, and the medicine bottles in a drawer are of different sizes and bodies, obviously they are all different medicines.
Jiang Qi said that he had been taking medicine since he was released from prison, did he just take medicine like this
Zhiqi bit her lips, and an unknown fire suddenly rose in her heart. She took the suitcase over and sat on the floor angrily. Then, she threw all the medicines into the suitcase one by one.
She should go back and ask the doctor carefully, what kind of medicine Jiang Qi is taking!
It's just that when he took the medicine bottle to the end, his fingertips touched something hard.
Zhi Qi frowned, thought for a while and took out all the things in the drawer, only to see clearly what was at the bottom.
— is a small wooden dolphin.
The sandalwood carvings are not so delicate, and even have a clumsy and blunt cuteness.
But Zhiqi remembered that this dolphin was given to him by herself.
