Chapter 101: Confession of Love At that time, he had only one thought. ...

At that time, he had only one thought.

Leaving in front of Xia Yiqing to save her should be the most heroic way to die.

In this way, will she remember him longer?

The past flooded into his mind, and that indescribable feeling seemed to become vivid along with the memory. Qi Hanmu unconsciously placed his right hand on his chest, his breathing became heavier, and he made a somewhat obvious wheezing sound.

Xia Yiqing shouldn't have known all this.

She should always be bright and lively, and not be exposed to the dark side of this world.

However, as long as she is with him, darkness will be everywhere in her life.

“Hmm…”

Qi Hanmu bit the soft flesh inside his lip with such force that a creaking sound was heard. In an instant, the smell of rust spread throughout his mouth, and even the tip of his tongue seemed to have a hint of sweetness.

This feeling is not very pleasant, but it is extremely addictive because it makes people very awake, their eyes can see more clearly, and it seems as if the whole person has been revitalized.

After waiting for a long time without receiving an answer, Xia Yiqing felt a little sleepy. Her eyelids felt heavy, like a thick quilt in winter, making it hard to breathe.

There was no movement from Qi Hanmu's side for a long time, as if the man had already fallen asleep in the darkness, leaving her alone to face the long night.

Some words can only be said once. If someone asks you to repeat them a second time, you will no longer have the courage to say them, and they will become the words of other people.

Xia Yiqing is in this situation now.

After the truth came out of her mouth, she felt a surge of fear in her heart.

If someone helps you, then that's it. Why do you have to dig into the matter?

If Qi Hanmu was unwilling, then saying this now would only make things difficult for him who had acted so bravely at that time.

Slowly supporting the mattress with her elbows, Xia Yiqing tried to change her position. Originally facing Qi Hanmu's back, she planned to turn over, so that the two of them could sleep with their backs facing each other.

It's strange that when you lie in the same bed, whoever falls asleep first seems to be betraying the other. Because of the other person's anxiety and fear, you can't feel him turning over because he can't sleep, while you turning over is just an unconscious reaction of sleep.

Xia Yiqing felt a bitter feeling in her heart, as if she had been betrayed by Qi Hanmu who had fallen asleep first.

It sounded like a childish tantrum, but Xia Yiqing was careful and cherished it, retaining her black-and-white habits.

When you become an adult and walk in the adult society for a long time, you will forget your childish core.

When a child loses his temper at a certain moment or in a certain situation, people realize that people never grow up, they just learn to protect themselves with a hard shell.

Xia Yiqing now decided to use the shell of sleeping out of spite to shield herself from Qi Hanmu who had already gone to bed early.

On the other side of the bed, the dizziness in front of his eyes finally subsided, and Qi Hanmu slowly exhaled.

Every night, his heart would become restless, and he would suffer from palpitations from time to time, which was extremely torturous.

In the past, when he slept alone, he was always used to being connected to a ventilator. Even if there was something wrong with his breathing, the ventilator could correct and improve it in time.

But now, next to Xia Yiqing, even though he knew that the sound of the ventilator was very weak and would not affect her, he always felt a little strange lying next to her with such a machine on.

It was like a medical machine, something used to save lives, separating the two of them, turning into a thick barrier, keeping him and Xia Yiqing far away.

"Because... I like you."

The few true words that Mr. Qi Sanye said were not light, and they were resounding in the master bedroom.

Unfortunately, the person who was supposed to hear this had already fallen asleep in a fit of anger, hugging his quilt with his legs crossed.

Qi Hanmu originally thought that Xia Yiqing just didn't want to pay attention to him. In the middle of the night, the bedroom was always very quiet, and the girl's even and dense breathing sounded extremely regular.

She didn't ignore him on purpose, but fell asleep.

After reaching this conclusion, Qi Hanmu found himself relieved.

Analyzing his own inner self and letting others see the real him has always been an aspect that he avoids.

This would make Qi Hanmu feel like taking off his clothes and letting others see his naked body.

The uncomfortable feeling of being seen through and being taken down at any moment.

It is the norm for those in a lower position.

But Qi Hanmu had no way to refute it. When he told Xia Yiqing his inner thoughts just now, he actually felt a little excited in his heart.

There is a kind of happiness called mutual understanding. If he and Xia Yiqing were in tune with each other, it would be a beautiful thing that he would never dare to dream of.

The girl's sleeping face looked very peaceful. She didn't talk in her sleep, didn't snore, and didn't make any small movements. She lay quietly on her side, letting her long eyelashes cast a shadow in her eye sockets like a little butterfly.

The man's slightly calloused hand gently brushed across the girl's face, causing her to frown slightly. However, she ultimately did not resist too much, and her frown quickly relaxed as she fell into a deep sleep again.

"...Defenseless little guy."

Qi Hanmu couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth. He put down his arms and changed from a half-raised position to lying down. The whole movement was very light and slow. There was no way, his heart could not withstand such a rapid change.

Although the girl was just leaning against him and the two of them were doing nothing, Qi Hanmu listened to her breathing, one breath at a time, and was even reluctant to take off his hearing aid.

This time he did not put the hearing aid into the drying box, but left it on all night, and slowly fell asleep to the girl's regular breathing like the tides.

When the morning light shone slightly on the two of them, the man and woman had already spent the whole night peacefully listening to each other's breathing.

Xia Yiqing jumped up, jumping like a carp, her heart pounding.

I didn’t hear the alarm. Am I late?

When she opened her eyes, it was bright outside. Xia Yiqing lifted the quilt, took out her arm, turned to the watch side, and took a closer look.

This glance almost gave her a heart attack.

At this time, Xia Yiqing was usually halfway through the journey. Now, any ordinary person would feel that there was no chance of recovery and would think about taking sick leave or personal leave.

Xia Yiqing quickly packed herself up and rang the bell to call housekeeper Qi, "Prepare the car, the sooner the better."

There was still a sag in the bed. Qi Hanmu was trapped in the morning palpitations. Most of his vision was obscured by black fog. Breathing seemed to become very difficult and the oxygen was very thin.

There was a faint sound in his ears, which turned into a buzzing sound from time to time. It was meaningless and only caused trouble to his ears.

Among these chaotic voices, Qi Hanmu was trying hard to search for Xia Yiqing's voice.

This task would become more difficult if he didn't understand Xia Yiqing's position.

There were strange noises coming from all directions, and Qi Hanmu shouldn't have been able to hear them.

But just before the door was about to close, Qi Hanmu vaguely heard the words "Third Master" and "go to work".

When the key words are linked together, it is clear what Xia Yiqing wants to say.

She was telling him that she was in a hurry to go to work.

Qi Hanmu barely raised the corners of his mouth, and wanted to raise his hand, but he had no strength left.

Forget it. He barely moved the entire night, just staring at the girl. How could his arm not be numb with the pressure on it the entire night?

At this time, Qi Hanmu decided not to bother with this disobedient arm. He just raised his misty eyes and gave Xia Yiqing a smile.

She should be able to see it.

At this time, Xia Yiqing was already eating breakfast quickly in the car.

There was no way. It was too late when I went out, and the time for eating at home had already been deprived. I had to eat faster and finish breakfast before arriving at the company.

After clocking in and preparing to return to the office, Xia Yiqing felt refreshed, but was stopped by the front desk on the way.

The receptionist in a professional dress smiled at Xia Yiqing, "Mr. Xia, you have a bouquet of flowers sent by someone."

Pink and white lilies and pink roses bloom together in the middle, with two large sunflowers below. This bouquet of flowers is quite heavy to hold, and it must have taken a lot of effort.

After estimating the weight, Xia Yiqing did not take it immediately, but put it back to the storage area at the front desk.

"Did he send anything like a greeting card when he sent flowers?" Xia Yiqing would not be indifferent to these things close to her. After all, if she wanted to harm someone, sending things was the most direct way.

"Or, have you revealed your identity or something? If not, please take care of this bouquet of flowers for me."

The receptionist nodded at Xia Yiqing and took out a greeting card. "Mr. Xia, that person also sent this card."

The greeting card had a white background with a few words written in a flamboyant style on it: "Happy Cooperation."

The signature is from an old acquaintance, Chen Wen.

Xia Yiqing looked at the greeting card for a while, frowned, looked at the bouquet of flowers, and suddenly felt a headache.

Should she accept the flower or not? She finally found a partner, but if he doesn't understand the ways of the world, he is really a bad person.

After much thought, Xia Yiqing asked Xiao An to put the bouquet of flowers in a conspicuous place in the office. At the same time, she asked Xiao An to go to a famous flower shop in Jiangcheng and send a bouquet of flowers to the Chen Group.

In this case, unless Chen Wen refuses to accept the bouquet of flowers, as long as he accepts it, it will prove that the cooperation between Chen and Xia is inevitable, and the plan will definitely be approved, or at least sent back for revision.

Before Xiao An left, he turned around and glanced at Xia Yiqing, "Boss Xia, can the company reimburse you for this bouquet?"

It’s highly unlikely, Xia Yiqing replied without thinking too much.

"It's okay, just send me the amount and I'll transfer it to you."

After Xiao An left the house, he hesitated for a long time outside a cheap flower shop next to the company.

Xiao An's mother's surgery fee has not been raised yet. The shortfall is just the right amount, about a hundred thousand yuan. If she saves a little and grits her teeth, she can pay it back soon after taking out a loan. However, her mother needs adequate nutrition.

This requires adequate nutritional allowance.

She told the boss of the flower shop to forge a higher price, and the boss would return it to her. In this way, she could get some of the difference from the boss.

Maybe the wind was too cold, which made Xiao An's nose red, and her eyes soon became sore. She vaguely remembered the salary that Xia Yiqing had transferred to her during the days when she took leave.

The next day, rumors spread like wildfire that the president of Chen Group had received a love bouquet.

When Qi Hanmu heard this, he broke a cup in the study.
