Chapter 141 Holding Hands "I like you...

"I like you and want to... ask you for a chance to be my boyfriend."

Qi Hanmu was rather picky with his words, and perhaps out of professional habit, he always said a few words and omitted a few, hiding a lot of emotions in his heart.

Xia Yiqing originally thought that most of what she heard from him were polite words, but she didn't expect that his two confessions were so direct.

Like a flower that suddenly blossomed in front of her heart, it half-forced its fragrance into Xia Yiqing's arms.

The man spoke in a deep, magnetic voice, and his eyes, looking at her, were deep and full of emotion.

If Xia Yiqing hadn't known Qi Hanmu for a long time, she might not have noticed so much.

"Are you sure you want to start as a boyfriend and girlfriend?" Xia Yiqing's round, almond-shaped eyes were charming, her long eyelashes curled up, and her bright red lips parted slightly, the corners of her mouth curved upwards.

"Third Master, don't consider it, just get engaged to me directly?"

The girl's face was barely the size of a palm, her cheeks were fair and rosy, her eyes were expressive, and her nose was high and straight, like a mountain with smooth and straight lines.

The glimmer in those almond-shaped eyes flickered and blinked into Qi Hanmu's heart.

His jawline was tense, his sharp Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes suddenly became deep.

"Qingqing, are you sure?"

The man in front of him had fair skin and excellent bone structure. Even though he was wearing a hospital gown instead of a peaked-lapel suit, he still gave people a sense of control as a superior.

Qi Hanmu's eyes were heavy, like a dark night filled with many dark clouds. However, because of the girl's words, they were slightly shimmering with starlight, making them particularly charming.

Xia Yiqing subconsciously swallowed her non-existent saliva and felt her throat inexplicably dry.

She took a deep breath, pressed the mattress with her left hand, leaned forward, and the distance between her and Qi Hanmu quickly narrowed.

The osmanthus and citrus scent lingering at the tip of the nose suddenly became stronger, as if you were in a sea of ​​flowers.

Qi Hanmu's pupils shrank slightly, his body straightened, but he did not step back.

Even though his breathing was a little heavier and the data on the ECG monitor didn't look good, Qi Hanmu's eyes were still fixed on Xia Yiqing, wanting to get an answer.

Xia Yiqing, will she really like him?

Rumor has it that he is cruel and ruthless, and three years ago, he did have the intention of half-forcing her.

Moreover, he is born with a weak constitution, and it is still unknown how long he can live.

Again, he is deaf and disabled.

Not to mention a powerful woman like Xia Yiqing, even a girl from an ordinary family would think again.

The chaotic thoughts suddenly stopped——

Because of the sudden softness of the lips.

Qi Hanmu's eyes slowly focused, and the girl's pure and flawless beautiful eyes struck his heart, and the two of them were only a few inches apart.

The strange feeling on her lips disappeared in a flash. Although she was the one who teased first, Xia Yiqing's cheeks turned a little redder, like the rosy glow rising in the evening sky.

Qi Hanmu looked cold, but unexpectedly, his lips did not feel like ice as imagined, but rather like jelly, cool.

Good kiss.

Seeing Qi Hanmu's frozen expression, Xia Yiqing's eyes curved and the smile on her lips became more obvious.

"So, tell me, do I like you?"

His heartbeat was as noisy as the chirping of cicadas in midsummer, hitting Qi Hanmu's thin chest again and again.

The not-so-successful confession between the two was cut short by the violent alarm of the electrocardiogram monitor.

Qin Fei and others rushed in quickly, breaking the slightly ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

"Where does it hurt?"

With Xia Yiqing present, Qin Fei naturally took advantage of the situation and dared to ask the Third Master about his feelings.

Qi Hanmu's eyes, which never showed any emotion, now showed a rare hint of displeasure. He glanced at Qin Fei with a cold glare.

If looks could kill, Qin Fei would have been cut into pieces by now.

But the situation today was different from the past. Qin Fei raised her head, her eyes filled with pride, "Madam, look, the Third Master is not cooperating again!"

This technique of filing a complaint is perfect.

Xia Yiqing was originally pursing her lips, feeling the little bit of intimacy left on her lips, when she suddenly heard someone calling. She was not paying attention for a moment and let the pink crawl up to the tip of her ear.

"Ah," she replied casually, and glanced at Qin Fei, who was full of pride. She probably understood what was going on, and instantly felt a little amused.

"Third Master, then tell Doctor Qin where you feel uncomfortable?"

The girl's eyes curved with a hint of teasing, and this scene turned into strands of tenderness in Qi Hanmu's eyes.

"It hurts, my whole body hurts, but only Doctor Xia can cure it."

Qin Fei, who originally wanted to use Xia Yiqing's prestige to put an end to Qi Hanmu's arrogance, had a pale face, as if he had eaten a frog. He cursed in Chinese and went out cursing.

"Really? I was so busy with the surgery that I didn't even eat. Now I'm full of dog food."

After watching Dr. Qin and the other doctors leave, Xia Yiqing turned around, pursed her lips, and looked at Qi Hanmu with half surprise.

"You can actually make people angry, huh?"

The girl's voice was soft, unlike usual, and her eyes were captivating and alluring, almost taking Qi Hanmu's heart away.

Not in a hurry to answer Xia Yiqing's question, Qi Hanmu tilted his head, his hair on the right side half spread out, and an oval object was faintly visible among the pure black hair.

He blinked lightly, and his thin lips were no longer pursed. Instead, he pouted slightly, like a child acting like a spoiled child to an elder. "Don't you like it?"

This rhetorical question was so childish that Xia Yiqing couldn't help but chuckle.

Even though the location seemed wrong now, Qi Hanmu was not in good condition in the hospital. He had just had surgery.

Xia Yiqing still raised her head and said in a soft voice, "I like it. And, I'll give you a chance!"

When saying this, Xia Yi cleared her throat briskly, and her deer eyes blinked, like dewdrops hanging on the petals of a t-petal in the early morning.

It is crystal clear, making people want to get closer to her, but at the same time, it also makes people want to escape to avoid defiling her.

Qi Hanmu carefully put his left hand into the quilt, and the knot between his eyebrows finally loosened for the most part.

"In that case, please advise me."

Unlike other young couples, after expressing their happy thoughts, even if there is no intimacy, they always have to say a few sweet words.

Xia Yiqing is a rather indifferent person by nature and doesn't like chirping. She is like a bird among the crowd.

She is more like a taciturn wise man, who only says a few words of advice from time to time when her friends need help.

It is precisely because of this that her and Su Huanhuan's personalities complement each other and the two have gotten along well over the years.

Needless to say, Qi Hanmu was originally a cold-eyed bystander and had no interest in anything.

Except for interests and Xia Yiqing.

Originally, Xia Yiqing needed to be the talkative one and guide Qi Hanmu, but now that the two of them have confirmed their relationship, it seems that there is no need for her to speak so frequently.

This resulted in a brief silence between the two.

However, during this time without words, the two of them exchanged glances, looked out the window at the birds dancing on the branches, and felt the breeze coming in from the window, which seemed to make their hearts beat faster than if they were hugging each other warmly.

Faint laughter could be heard from not far away.

Children's laughter is more prominent and easy to identify in a group of people, but it is not like the kind of hearty laughter, but a suppressed chuckle.

Xia Yiqing pushed open the window, and under the cover of the security net, she put her hands on the windowsill, leaned forward and looked down.

This is the top floor of Qingmu Medical. Even though it is far away from the areas below, it is close to the garden where patients relax.

The lawn below was well-trimmed and the branches had been trimmed long ago. There was a cobblestone path winding among the flowers, and in the middle of the path was a pavilion.

This scene inevitably made Xia Yiqing think of the mountain behind Yiyuan Garden.

There is also a pavilion there.

However, her experience with Qi Hanmu in that place always seemed to end badly.

Either she deliberately escaped, or Qi Hanmu was in so much pain that he vomited blood.

The child was wearing a hospital gown and was staggering towards the pavilion accompanied by his parents. His head was shaved, so it was impossible to tell whether he was a boy or a girl.

The wind blew, revealing the child's extremely thin figure, and his shoulders were trembling slightly, as if he would be blown away by the wind at any time, like a fallen leaf, and leave his parents' arms.

“Cough cough cough…”

The child bent down and began to cough in his father's broad arms.

Xia Yiqing heard the inexplicable sound and turned around. Qi Hanmu covered his mouth and nose with his cold white fingertips, frowning.

He pressed his left hand against his chest, his eyelids half drooped, covering most of his eyes, not revealing any vulnerability.

But Xia Yiqing found that the long and straight eyelashes were constantly fluttering, with a faint moisture on them, as if the wings of a butterfly in the rain were wet and could not fly again.

With a sudden pain in her heart, Xia Yiqing raised her hand to close the window, fastened it, took a few quick steps, and half-leaned to Qi Hanmu's side.

She tapped Qi Hanmu's back with her right hand in a bowl shape, with neither light nor heavy force, and her voice carried a subtle hint of self-blame.

"Are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

It was indeed her fault. If she hadn't opened the window to see the child, bringing in the cold wind, how could Qi Hanmu have been so irritated that he coughed non-stop?

But unexpectedly, the man who was coughing so hard that his eyes almost rolled up in Xia Yiqing's arms, slowly curled his lips and said, "It's okay."

His voice was very soft, like a feather, falling on Xia Yiqing's heart and scratching it twice.

Although Qi Hanmu himself said that he was fine, his purple lips, pale face and cold sweat on his forehead all showed that he was in pain at the moment.

Tears welled up in Xia Yiqing's eyes.

She put her arm around the man's overly thin shoulders, and like a father comforting his child, she held Qi Hanmu in her arms and gently patted the outside of his arm.

"Be good," Xia Yiqing patted Qi Hanmu's body at a fixed frequency, like a frequency to coax him to sleep.

"It's okay if you fall asleep. Don't be afraid. I'm here. Just go to sleep."

“Hmm…”

The sweet scent of the girl still lingered in his nose. Qi Hanmu felt heavy and his eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

He didn't even have the strength to raise his hands, but he inexplicably didn't want to close his eyes. He wanted to engrave the girl's coaxing look in his mind.

He usually looks ten steps ahead before he takes one.

Now that Xia Yiqing has agreed to date him, will there be a day in the future when she will deny him a legitimate status?

If that's the case, then he should not let go of the hand that he and Xia Yiqing are holding tightly together.

Qi Hanmu pursed his lips tightly as Xia Yiqing rubbed his chest in circles with the base of her palm. His left hand was free, and he took this opportunity to hold Xia Yiqing's right hand, which was supporting him at the side.

It's not like we're just friends sticking together, or holding on to each other, or leading each other.

Qi Hanmu is very goal-oriented.

While Xia Yiqing was changing her movements, he took the opportunity to spread her hands apart, and his ten flexible fingers slipped in, slipped between her fingers, and interlocked theirs.
