Chapter 43.

Xu Baiqing paused typing on the keyboard, suspecting that she had misheard. She looked up at Qu Xueer on the other side of the video and saw that although she looked a little depressed, she was obviously happy.

"What did you just say? I don't think I heard it clearly." Xu Baiqing asked uncertainly.

"Just yesterday I went to see Sister Xian. Since we are quite familiar with each other, we went to dinner together after her performance. Sister Xian drank some wine, and she insisted that I was still young and asked me to drink juice. When I tried to grab the cup from her hand, I accidentally fell on her and kissed her on the corner of her mouth by accident." Qu Xueer said embarrassedly.

However, Xu Baiqing looked at her words that were called complaints but were actually bragging, and keenly noticed a hint of pride flashing in her eyes. His eyes became sharp, and it seemed that there was an explanation for this accident.

"Why...why are you looking at me like that?" Qu Xueer seemed a little uncomfortable with Xu Baiqing's sharp gaze, and she asked with a vague look.

"It's nothing, I just think this 'accident' is a bit too sudden." Xu Baiqing said meaningfully.

"...I knew I couldn't hide it from you," Qu Xue'er muttered, looking at Xu Baiqing's penetrating gaze. "I'm worried because there's been no progress at all."

"Okay, be careful and don't let anyone find out before the company develops." Xu Baiqing reminded.

"I know." Qu Xueer nodded with a slightly serious expression.

The two of them discussed the next direction. Xu Baiqing ended the video call with Qu Xueer. After washing up in the bathroom, she changed into pajamas and lay down on the bed.

Although she was closer to Qian Yirong than before, she always seemed to be worried about something, and if her guess was correct, there was no way for her to keep Qian Yirong by her side.

Xu Baiqing raised her hands to cover her eyes. Should she find a reliable scientific institution to invest in and study time travel? Xu Baiqing thought desperately.

A huge sense of frustration filled her whole body. Even when she was at her lowest point, she was not as desperate as she is now. After all, Xu Baiqing believed that she would succeed in the end no matter how poor she was.

But now, she doesn't know whether it is a technological test or a mysterious test, these are areas that she cannot get involved in. Knowing nothing means having no way out. If Qian Yirong really disappears, she doesn't even know how to find her. No, she must find a way to keep Qian Yirong, or leave with her.

Just when Xu Baiqing made up his mind, the curve that had always been flat in a certain place suddenly fluctuated violently, which made the people who had been paying attention to it immediately report the situation.

"Teacher, it works, it really works!" said the doctor in a white coat excitedly.

"The patient's brain waves are stronger than any previous ones. Perhaps he can really wake up." The gray-haired attending physician pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose. Although she was a little excited, she was much calmer than her apprentice.

Xu Baiqing didn't know when she fell asleep, but when she woke up, she seemed to smell some disinfectant from the hospital. However, when she saw the ceiling of the hotel, she thought she might have had some messy dream.

After all, there is only a special aromatherapy in this hotel. Although it doesn’t smell good, it is very different from the smell of disinfectant in the hospital. However, Xu Baiqing, who woke up very early, sent a text message to Qian Yirong as soon as possible.

She thought that if Qian Yirong replied to her message, she must be awake, so she could ask her to have breakfast together and then act together. If she didn't reply, it was likely that Qian Yirong was not awake yet, so she could rest in the room for a while.

After all, compared to the announced gathering time, she got up earlier because of her biological clock. Seeing that Qian Yirong had not replied yet, Xu Baiqing got up and walked to the window to open the curtains. The sun had risen at this time, and the golden sunlight was shining on the sea, and the undulating waves made the sea surface reflect the sunlight, which looked sparkling and beautiful.

Qian Yirong was on the other side, she was in the bathroom at this time. She scooped up a handful of water from the sink and splashed it on her face. Although the water cooled her face, her face reflected in the mirror was still slightly red.

Qian Yirong looked at herself in the mirror with shame in her eyes and she couldn't bear to look at herself anymore. She just accidentally saw Xu Baiqing's slender waist and had a messy dream yesterday.

Looking at her disappointing self in the mirror, Qian Yirong was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but scoop up some water and sprinkle it on the mirror. Finally, she couldn't see her current appearance clearly, and the shame in Qian Yirong's heart dissipated a little.

Qian Yirong returned to the room while wiping her hair that had been accidentally wetted with a towel. She saw the indicator light of her cell phone flashing on the bed. Thinking that something had happened, Qian Yirong casually picked up the phone.

When she saw that it was Xu Baiqing who sent her a message, she almost threw her phone away. Qian Yirong took a deep breath and then calmed down to see what Xu Baiqing sent her.

Looking at the simple greeting, Qian Yirong breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, how could Xu Baiqing know that she was so capable yesterday? However, Qian Yirong thought about it and replied to Xu Baiqing.

As a result, Xu Baiqing replied very quickly, as if she had been waiting for Qian Yirong's news. Qian Yirong saw the message that Xu Baiqing asked her to have breakfast together, and wanted to refuse at first, but soon realized that she would feel guilty about doing so. After thinking about it, she agreed.

After a while, Qian Yirong heard a knock on the door. She didn't expect Xu Baiqing to come so quickly. Qian Yirong stood at the door and took a deep breath, then opened the door and met Xu Baiqing's bright smile.

"Rongrong, good morning. I'm here to have breakfast with you." Xu Baiqing's cheerful voice made Qian Yirong's nervous mood relax involuntarily, and she laughed subconsciously.

"Bai Qing, good morning." Qian Yirong replied.

"Why is your hair wet?" Xu Baiqing noticed Qian Yi's slightly wet hair at a glance and asked curiously.

"Well..." Qian Yirong's eyes wandered for a moment. She couldn't say that she got her hair wet because she splashed water on her face in the bathroom because she was restless. She could only say, "I accidentally got it wet when I got up to wash my face."

Xu Baiqing saw Qian Yirong's uncomfortable look and knew that she was not telling the truth. However, there was no need to get to the bottom of such a trivial matter. Xu Baiqing just assumed that what she said was true and asked with concern, "Do you want me to blow it for you?"

As soon as Xu Baiqing said this, Qian Yirong almost immediately thought of the tingling sensation all over her body when Xu Baiqing helped her blow dry her hair. She swallowed nervously and refused, "No, it's only a little wet. I can wipe it myself."

"Okay then." Xu Baiqing said regretfully. She still remembered how cute Qian Yirong looked when she was wiping her hair. It was a pity that she couldn't see it again.

"Are we going to stand at the door and talk like this?" Xu Baiqing saw Qian Yirong standing at the door blocking the way, blinked and asked.

"Of course not," Qian Yirong made way as if waking from a dream. She said, "Come in and sit for a while. I'll go dry my hair and change my clothes."

"Okay," Xu Baiqing said as he entered the room. "Rongrong, don't worry. It's still early for us to gather. You can take your time. We have plenty of time to have breakfast."

Qian Yirong responded casually and then went to the bathroom. After all, Qian Yirong couldn't change clothes in front of Xu Baiqing. Sitting on the sofa in Xu Baiqing's room, she looked around Qian Yirong's room and confirmed that no one else had been there except herself. She nodded with satisfaction.

Qian Yirong didn't let Xu Baiqing wait for long. Knowing today's schedule, Qian Yirong changed into clothes that were convenient for movement and tied up her long hair to reveal her beautiful and clean eyebrows.

"Okay, let's go." Qian Yirong unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes under Xu Baiqing's admiring gaze, and said a little embarrassedly.

"This hotel offers buffet in the morning. Let's go to the restaurant quickly." Xu Baiqing said, walked up and naturally took Qian Yirong's hand, pulling her out of the room.

Qian Yirong was held by Xu Baiqing. The cool and soft touch was very comfortable in this hot weather. Qian Yirong subconsciously tightened her grip at first, and then unconsciously relaxed a little.

Xu Baiqing noticed this and couldn't help but hold Qian Yirong's hand tightly with a smile on his face. She was getting closer and closer to him. This was the best signal Xu Baiqing had received in recent times.

The two of them walked hand in hand to the hotel restaurant. Just as Xu Baiqing said, the hotel provides guests with a breakfast buffet in the morning. There are all kinds of Chinese and Western breakfasts on the table for guests to help themselves.

Qian Yirong prefers Chinese breakfast, and Xu Baiqing agrees with her on this point, so the two of them skipped the fancy Western breakfasts and went straight to the Chinese breakfast.

"Wow, there are so many delicious foods. I want to eat them all, but I can't eat so much." Xu Baiqing sighed.

"Let's not take too much. Let's take a little of each and exchange them." Looking at Xu Baiqing's expectant and regretful look, Qian Yirong suggested.

"Okay, okay, Rongrong, let's choose." Xu Baiqing said, taking the plate beside him and handing it to Qian Yirong.

The two of them quickly picked up some food that they liked or had never eaten before and were interested in. They got up quite early, so there were not many people in the restaurant at this time. They soon found a seat by the window and could enjoy the scenery outside while eating breakfast.

"This is delicious, Rongrong, you try it..." Xu Baiqing would recommend it to Qian Yirong if he ate something delicious, and would also quietly complain to Qian Yirong if it was not delicious.

Qian Yirong agreed and shared some of the food that she thought tasted good with Xu Baiqing, and ate the food that she didn't like herself. There was an atmosphere between the two of them that made it impossible for anyone to interfere.
