Chapter 144 Preference At this time, Luo Miao knocked on the car window. ...

At this time, Luo Miao knocked on the car window.

He originally wanted to remind the two people that they had arrived at the welfare home and could get off the bus.

But after knocking for a long time, there was no response from inside. Helplessly, Luo Miao saw that the people at the welfare home were getting a little impatient, so he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and made up his mind.

With a click, the car door opened.

Although only a small gap was revealed, everyone could see that the usually arrogant Third Master had hazy eyes as he grabbed the hand of a girl next to him, looking extremely aggrieved.

“Bang!”

Luo Miao closed the car door expressionlessly and saw that the person was still there, but in fact he had been gone for a while.

It really seemed like God was going to kill him. Why did he open the car door when the Third Master and his wife were getting close?

At this moment, if time could go back, even if he had ten thousand courage, he would not dare to open the car door casually.

It’s okay to deduct his salary, but can you please not deny him leave for his date with his girlfriend tonight?

In the mood to make amends, Luo Miao's expression was numb and he gave the welfare home's management a stiff smile. "Sorry, please wait a moment."

It doesn’t matter how long the guests wait, the welfare home agreed readily.

Luo Miao was left alone there, like an ant on a hot pan, anxious and afraid, not daring to open the car door.

He secretly spat in his heart, what a damn young couple.

Of course, Luo Miao quickly swallowed these words back.

Not to mention that he also supports the couple of Third Master and his wife. Secondly, maybe Third Master will be in a good mood after being intimate with his wife and will not bother with him.

Inside the car, Qi Hanmu saw the girl frowning and looking a little anxious. The corners of his mouth curled up with a faint smile.

"Why, you dare to do it but not to take responsibility for it," Qi Hanmu's face was calm, as if he was not the one who just lowered his head to wipe his tears and acted like a spoiled child.

"I, the person involved, haven't said anything yet, why is Qingqing the first to get embarrassed?"

Xia Yiqing hit his shoulder, but didn't dare to use too much force, let alone hit him in the heart.

"It's all your fault."

She had never imagined that one day her words would be so embarrassing.

The man in front of him actually responded. He lowered his head and gently nudged Xia Yiqing with the tip of his nose, like a puppy searching for its mark. "Yeah, it's all my fault."

Seeing that he admitted it so naturally, Xia Yiqing felt embarrassed to make things difficult for him, so she could only snort and point outside.

"Everyone else is waiting, let's go out quickly."

Seeing that Xia Yiqing was really embarrassed, Qi Hanmu no longer insisted.

He raised his hand, supported the back seat of the car, moved towards the door twice, then reached out to open the door, but did not push it open. He smiled at Xia Yiqing.

"Then Miss Xia, are you ready now? If you are, I will open the car door."

If Qi Hanmu was willing to smile and relax his brows, he would give people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. He was a very multifaceted person. He could be cold and ruthless one second and gentle and elegant the next. Xia Yiqing had seen this before.

But now, her pounding heart told her that no matter what Qi Hanmu looked like, she would always be happy as long as she saw this person.

Lifting her hair and tucking it behind her ear, Xia Yiqing tilted her head towards him and said, "Open the door."

Luo Miao was waiting outside anxiously, knowing that he had just made a mistake. He lowered his head and followed the two of them like a dog with its tail between its legs, not daring to speak.

Xia Yiqing was the leader today. She raised her hand and waved, her face amiable. "Third Master and I are going for a stroll. You don't need to follow us. Go back and take care of the children."

When all the followers had dispersed, Xia Yiqing turned to look at Luo Miao.

Thinking that this was a sign of accusation, Luo Miao immediately stepped forward, lowered his head, and took the initiative to confess.

"I'm sorry, Third Master, Madam," Luo Miao said sincerely, but in fact his back was tense. It was cold, and people would shiver in down jackets. Luo Miao was wearing a windbreaker, but a thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead.

"I didn't know you two were... I opened the car door without permission. I'm wrong. I beg the Third Master and Madam to punish me."

Xia Yiqing couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed out loud.

According to Luo Miao's narrative style, if you didn't know, you would think that she and Qi Hanmu were doing something new in the back seat of the car.

Qi Hanmu didn't have a stern face, he just opened his eyelids and checked the expression on Xia Yiqing's face.

He guessed what Xia Yiqing was thinking and replied to Luo Miao, "I understand. You can go down first. We don't need you here."

Luo Miao cried but didn't dare to say anything, fearing that if he said a few more words, he would lose both his wages and his date with his girlfriend.

Seeing that Luo Miao was extremely depressed, Xia Yiqing kindly added a sentence.

"Don't worry, your date will be on hold tonight."

"Okay!"

Luo Miao stood up immediately, and his whole body looked like a sapling that quickly grew after receiving the sunshine and rain. He stood there, and stood up straight again.

He was even humming a song when he left. Qi Hanmu tilted his head and looked at Xia Yiqing in confusion.

"Did we do anything in the car that made him misunderstand?"

Seeing the pair of eyes filled with confusion, Xia Yiqing laughed, raised her hand to hook the man's waist, pulled him over, and played with Qi Hanmu's tie from time to time.

"It's just that you love to act like a spoiled child too much and frightened me," Xia Yiqing stroked the man's slender neck along the tie clip.

"This is your fault, isn't it, Third Master?"

No man can remain indifferent when someone touches his Adam's apple.

Qi Hanmu's eyes became a little deeper, as if he was warning Xia Yiqing not to move her finger forward, but his body did not move at all, as if he was tacitly approving Xia Yiqing's behavior.

Feeling the man's breathing was heavy and hot, Xia Yiqing deliberately raised her eyebrows.

"What? You don't want to 'plead guilty'?"

The sun was shining brightly outside, shining brightly on the two of them. The blue sky and white clouds were high and swaying leisurely above their heads. Even the trees were motionless, as if they were listening with their ears perked up, wanting to see what the two were going to do.

Next to it, the welfare home’s slide and the spring horse for children to play with are still standing there, like curious people who can’t hear the gossip and refuse to leave.

Qi Hanmu finally took action. He raised his hand and clasped Xia Yiqing's wrist with his five fingers, applying neither too much nor too little force, as if caressing it.

Xia Yiqing was not surprised at Qi Hanmu's reaction.

I just felt that he was probably trying to pull his hand away from that dangerous area and bring it back to safety.

But she didn't expect that the hand with blue veins exposed on the back of the white hand would hold her wrist and then lightly pull it towards his throat.

Now, Xia Yiqing didn't mean to touch it, but still felt that bulge.

As Qi Hanmu swallowed, the sharp Adam's apple rolled up and down in the smooth curve of his neck, and now, Xia Yiqing's fingertips were in close contact with it.

Xia Yiqing was so frightened that she held her breath and widened her eyes. She couldn't imagine that the man in front of her would do such a crazy thing.

There was a glimmer of light in Qi Hanmu's eyes, as if he was showing her his best side.

Not only did he not let go of Xia Yiqing's hand, but he forced Xia Yiqing to move closer to him like a pair of pliers and stroked that Adam's apple again.

"Do you like it?" The Adam's apple rolls upwards when pronouncing.

Xia Yiqing took a deep breath, held it, and exhaled. She opened her eyes again. Although her vision had regained clarity, her heart was still pounding.

What man would do this?

Well, Qi Hanmu does.

"Didn't it say that when we come to this place, there will be one less or one more person?" While trying to reason with him, Xia Yiqing took advantage of the opportunity and used force carefully, intending to escape the iron hand shackles.

"I'd better not touch it."

The feeling of having someone press against your Adam's apple is indeed not very pleasant. It feels like having a sharp weapon pressed against your throat, and your life could be lost at any time.

Unfortunately, there was a flash of madness in Qi Hanmu's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, turning it into a gentle yet extreme look.

"I allow you to touch me. I like you to touch me, Qingqing, don't be afraid."

The words became increasingly hoarse as they came to a close, reaching a volume so low that Xia Yiqing could barely hear them.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Xia Yiqing took a step back and, with some effort, managed to break free from his hand.

She didn't look up at Qi Hanmu, fearing that she would be soft-hearted. "Let me introduce you to the latest situation of the welfare home.

"After all, I was in charge of related matters before. This time I brought you out so that you can relax in this nice place."

Looking down, Xia Yiqing could only see the sun casting its shadows on the two of them, hanging near their ankles.

Because they were so close, their shadows intertwined, as if they were one, as if they were supposed to be together.

After a long silence, Xia Yiqing heard an unclear "hmm".

As if in acquiescence, or as if a beast with bared fangs silently shut its mouth, lowered its head, and placed its furry head beside her, waiting for her to comfort it.

The two walked around the welfare home, letting the breeze brush across their faces. Looking at the bare branches and the ground still faintly covered with new snow, Xia Yiqing felt a little embarrassed for some reason.

The boots squeaked as they stepped on the newly fallen snow mixed with coal ash, sinking in a small arc. Xia Yiqing leaned forward and subconsciously exerted more force.

Did she go too far just now?

It was Qi Hanmu who was at a disadvantage, but she felt like she was being taken advantage of.

The pitiful man next to her suddenly pinched Xia Yiqing's fingers and said in a low voice, as if begging, "Don't be angry with me, okay? If you don't like your Adam's apple in the future, just don't touch it."

The tone really sounds so sad.

Xia Yiqing stopped, turned to the right, raised her left heel, and then hugged the man tightly with both hands as if hugging a tree.

"I'm the bad guy," she said, not hiding her temper in front of Qi Hanmu for the first time. She gently pressed her lips against the cold white skin behind Qi Hanmu's ear.

"It was clearly me who touched her and left. Please don't be angry with me, okay?"

The person in her arms nodded vigorously, but as if afraid that Xia Yiqing didn't believe it, Qi Hanmu gently pinched Xia Yiqing's fingertips, signaling it to follow him.

Following Qi Hanmu's instructions, Xia Yiqing put her hand on Qi Hanmu's head.

To be precise, it was near his right ear where he had cochlear implant surgery.

Qi Hanmu drooped his eyelids, and it was unclear what he was going to do. Xia Yiqing was also very patient and waited for him to speak.

After taking several deep breaths, as if mustering up his courage, Qi Hanmu spoke, "You don't mind that I had cochlear implant surgery, right?"

The power of being favored is indeed strong. Qi Hanmu, who was doubting himself not long ago, can actually ask back.

He closed his eyes, a blush creeping up his cheeks. "Do you want to touch my external device?"
