Chapter 68: Painful Moaning: It happened too suddenly, Xia Yi...

It happened so suddenly that Xia Yiqing and Qin Fei had no time to react.

By the time the two of them simultaneously opened their eyes wide and stared at the back of Xia Yiqing, the man had already pursed his lips and sat down.

To be honest, this powerful ruler in Jiangcheng sat quite well even when he had a fever.

Her legs were not spread apart but brought together, her knees together, her hands placed on top of her knees, her eyelids slightly raised, a few strands of black bangs falling across her cold white forehead, her eyes deep and clear.

It feels a bit like a kindergarten kid listening obediently to a lecture.

It just made Xia Yiqing a little uncomfortable.

It has been a long time since she saw such a well-behaved Qi Hanmu.

To be honest, she had only seen Qi Hanmu like this a few times.

Although men can attract a lot of people's attention outside, and even become the focus of everyone's attention as soon as they appear, Xia Yiqing inexplicably feels that in the eyes of everyone, he is very unfamiliar with his indifferent expression.

Only Qi Hanmu, who is blinking his eyes and acting cute and obedient, trying to avoid injections, taking medicine and seeing a doctor, seems like a real person, a body injected with a soul.

Although he didn't say anything, Qi Hanmu's whole body was expressing a feeling.

It's called, "You're not going to give me away, are you?"

The sun's rays jumped happily several times, and Xia Yiqing realized belatedly that she had a headache.

"But, if it gets sick, it won't get better on its own," Xia Yiqing's original thoughts were interrupted by a sudden accident. She seemed to have changed from a sensible child to a picky person.

"The doctor has been with you for so long, he certainly won't harm you, right?"

When the girl leaned over, the fragrance of Xia Yiqing arrived before her words.

It smells of osmanthus and orange. It's just a subtle fragrance at first, but becomes more refreshing and alluring later. Unfortunately, the perfume user is unaware of it and approaches him with a pair of almond-shaped eyes blinking.

Qi Hanmu's Adam's apple bulged, his jawline was tense, and he wore a silver-glowing hearing aid on his well-defined ear. He frowned for a moment, then immediately relaxed, and a rare rosy glow appeared on his cold, pale cheeks.

I don’t know if it was the high temperature caused by the fever, or the man’s broken heart beating restlessly.

His Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the sharp edges seemed to be able to cut through the barrier in front of him. Qi Hanmu's eyes suddenly became a little deep and a little more dangerous.

"Don't," he said, his voice was hoarse, like a gear grinding on sandpaper, but it didn't sound unpleasant, and a slight resonance formed in the bass.

"Don't come near me."

Xia Yiqing swallowed her saliva and her eyes widened unconsciously. She originally wanted to touch the man's cold hand, but she could only freeze in mid-air. Retreating was not an option, and moving forward was even more embarrassing.

Seeing the girl's bewilderment, the man sighed and slowly closed his eyes. His tone was indescribably doting. "I will receive treatment. You should sit still and don't move."

My heart was pounding, my cheeks were starting to feel hot, and sweat was slowly coming out of my temples.

Xia Yiqing suddenly felt that Qin Fei might have given her a fake hangover medicine, otherwise why would she be dizzy now, with weak hands and feet, just like she was drunk?

Qi Hanmu raised one hand to give Qin Fei an injection and an IV. At the same time, with his other hand, he pointed at the seat next to him with his bony fingers, "Sit."

It was a very light word, but Xia Yiqing could read a little bit of...prayer from those eyes that were covered by their eyelids and the expression could not be seen clearly.

It’s really strange. Qi Hanmu had a fever, but her brain was also burned stupid?

Why do I always think about weird things?

An even more bizarre idea came to mind: there were times when the two of them were even closer than now, with only a fist between them.

Just after the agreement was cancelled, the man carried her upstairs.

She raised her hands and slapped her face twice. Xia Yiqing's face really turned red. She didn't know if it was because of anger, heat, or because she slapped herself.

"Qingqing!" Qi Hanmu's voice trembled unconsciously. He frowned, and his eyes showed obvious blame.

"Don't hurt yourself. Tell me if you have any problem and I'll take care of it, okay?"

This sentence really made Xia Yiqing stunned.

This sentence may seem insignificant, but when it comes from the mouth of Master Qi San, it is extremely authoritative.

After all, in such a big city like Jiangcheng, there is nothing that the third master of the Qi family cannot solve.

It is said that a promise is worth a thousand gold. In Jiangcheng, getting a promise from Mr. Qi San is no easier than climbing to the sky.

Should she feel lucky? Xia Yi thought vaguely.

After putting some simple words together in her head, Xia Yiqing raised the corners of her drooping mouth, opened her eyes a little, and put on a pure, harmless, sweet smile.

"It's okay, Third Master. I didn't use much force just now. I was just playing a joke on myself. Don't worry about it. Just go ahead and get the IV."

Qi Hanmu's slightly cool fingers slowly moved up, starting from the back of Xia Yiqing's hand, to her elbow, then his forearm moved up to her collarbone, and then moved up again, touching the side of her face.

The fingers seemed to be getting colder day by day, just like the northern weather that had been deteriorating rapidly since early autumn.

When she touched Xia Yiqing's profile, she couldn't help but tremble all over. Her fingers were actually colder than the car's air conditioner.

The man retracted his fingertips, but did not move away. Instead, he slowly turned his palm over and used the back of his hand to cool the place where Xia Yiqing had hurt herself just now.

"Bear with it," he gently stroked the girl's smooth cheek. Even though his other hand was hanging down due to the IV drip, he still smiled.

"Just think of it as an ice pack. Also, Qingqing, you don't have to address me with honorifics. After all, we are boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"

A feeling that is hard to describe spread over me, as if someone had blocked my throat with cotton. Although I could breathe in and out, the words that were suppressed seemed to stay there forever.

Xia Yiqing swallowed her saliva and suddenly felt a little swollen and painful in her throat. Could this be the aftereffect of drinking?

But the words were on the tip of my tongue, and I couldn't help but want to say it out loud, "No, just close your eyes and rest. I didn't hit you hard, so you don't need an ice pack."

When these words fell into the man's ears, they took on a different meaning.

She doesn't need him.

Even if he came to her, he was still worthless in front of her. He was just something that could be discarded at any time and replaced by anyone.

He clearly didn't realize what Xia Yiqing was thinking, and shamelessly tried to approach her.

When people are sick, they will inevitably think too much and become doubly sensitive. For someone like Qi Hanmu, who is already extremely sensitive, it will double the pain and suffering.

But he actually managed to control himself. Even though his hands were shaking badly, he did not hurt anyone else or hurt himself in front of Xia Yiqing.

Qi Hanmu just held the corner of his mouth in a smile, keeping that arc motionless, like a painted smile on the corner of a puppet's mouth, "Okay."

Xia Yiqing didn't like his closeness, so he wouldn't waste his efforts.

Otherwise, in the end, he would offer his sincere heart, but all he would get in return would be the girl's surprise, astonishment and fear.

The corners of Qi Hanmu's lips slowly turned purple. He withdrew his hand and his body fell backwards. Beads of sweat inadvertently seeped out of his forehead and his eyes gradually became weak.

The pain of his heart suddenly accelerating told him that he was far away from a normal life.

“Hmm…”

Even though he had closed his mouth tightly, the uncontrollable moan of pain still leaked out from the corner of his lips, and then mixed with the sound of rain, wind and the rustling of passing vehicles outside, and finally disappeared into nothingness.

When Xia Yiqing turned his head, took out his cell phone, and focused his eyes on the small screen, Qin Fei hurried over and put nitroglycerin under his tongue.

"My ancestor, why don't you say anything?"

Qin Fei could only mutter in a low voice. Seeing Qi Hanmu's cold and warning eyes, his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally turned into a long sigh.

Heart disease is extremely dangerous. If you miss the time for rescue, or if you remain motionless during that painful period without any attempt to save the person, the person may die.

Qi Hanmu is smarter than him and he must know this.

Most likely he didn't want to make his girl worry, so Qin Fei could only sigh that being in love would not have a good ending.

However, he hopes that the Third Master has it.

So, facing Qi Hanmu's murderous gaze, Qin Fei gritted her teeth and said to Xia Yiqing, "Did you know he just had an attack?"

She had just told Su Huanhuan about the situation. The two little sisters were chattering about it. Xia Yiqing had a smile on her face yet to disappear when she suddenly heard Qin Fei say something. The car became quiet and she looked up blankly.

"Hmm? What's up?"

The girl has beautiful and elegant facial features, and her almond-shaped eyes occasionally ripple in her calmness. Her left hand is raised near her heart, touching her chin.

With just the right amount of doubt in her eyes, Xia Yiqing perfectly played the role of a beautiful young girl who was unable to react when a passerby tried to scam her.

Qin Fei felt like there was a breath stuck in his throat, unable to get it out or swallow it down.

Qi Hanmu coughed lightly, his eyes gloomy, as if giving a warning.

Xia Yiqing didn't deliberately ignore it, but when people chat with friends, they always subconsciously focus on the person they are chatting with and ignore the surrounding environment.

Even though Qi Hanmu exuded the aura of a superior, making it impossible to completely ignore him, perhaps because Xia Yiqing had seen him for so long, she had developed some immunity to him.

Specifically, when she was looking at her phone just now, she was completely relaxed and did not notice the conversation between Qi Hanmu and Qin Fei.

"fine."

Qin Fei curled the corners of his mouth and glanced at Qi Hanmu secretly.

As perceptive as Xia Yiqing was, following Qin Fei's gaze, it was not difficult for him to find that Qi Hanmu's eyes were severely dark blue and his face was a little red due to the fever, which made his skin look cold and pale, but could not hide his sickly complexion.

As his gaze slowly moved downwards, Qi Hanmu's purple fingertips could no longer be hidden, and there was a black and silver watch on his left wrist.

This is unusual.

Qi Hanmu clearly didn't like wearing a watch. He felt it was cold, icy and heavy.

This was discovered by Xia Yiqing when she sneaked into the study when Qi Hanmu was not in Yiyuan. She accidentally found Qi Hanmu's diary. With shaking hands, she flipped through a few pages.

Of course, before Xia Yiqing had time to turn to the next page, she heard the roar of a car downstairs and the sound of its engine shutting down.

Qi Hanmu is back.

In fact, Xia Yiqing had no reason to go to Qi Hanmu's study. After all, everyone knew that for businessmen, the study was very important and most of their business secrets were hidden there.

“Crack—”

Xia Yiqing only had time to put down the diary and hurriedly look back.
