Chapter 54.

The sky was bright, and the sunlight poured into the room generously through the floor-to-ceiling windows facing the sun, illuminating almost every detail of the room. The table in the living room was almost completely filled with documents. Xu Baiqing had only been away for a few days, but Qian Yirong had already read all of these documents, which was enough to show that she had hardly had any rest in the past few days.

"Aren't you tired?" Xu Baiqing asked with concern.

"It's okay." Qian Yirong realized belatedly that Xu Baiqing was feeling sorry for her, and said a little embarrassedly.

"If I had known you were so tired, I wouldn't have bothered you." Xu Baiqing looked at the fatigue on Qian Yirong's face and the dark circles under her eyes, and quickly asked her to come and sit down.

"This is my area of ​​expertise, so it's actually okay." After Xu Baiqing's reminder, Qian Yirong's excitement passed, and a feeling of fatigue came over her. She sat down next to Xu Baiqing.

"You should take a rest first. We can talk about other things after you wake up." Xu Baiqing said as he simply pressed the person on his legs.

Qian Yirong was startled and was about to get up, but Xu Baiqing's hand pressed on her shoulder without any refusal. Qian Yirong could only rest her head on Xu Baiqing's legs. She could smell the familiar fragrance of Xu Baiqing on her breath. As if hypnotized, the irresistible sleepiness made Qian Yirong blink her eyes very slowly, and then fell asleep the next moment.

Xu Baiqing noticed that Qian Yirong's body was completely relaxed and her breathing became even. Knowing that she had fallen asleep, he moved the scattered hair on Qian Yirong's forehead away with heartache. This made the dark circles under Qian Yirong's eyes more obvious, which was enough to show how bad Qian Yirong's rest was in the past few days.

However, looking at Qian Yirong sleeping peacefully on his legs, Xu Baiqing's heart couldn't help but soften. Knowing why she did that, Xu Baiqing could only think about supervising Qian Yirong to eat well and rest well in the future, and not to waste his energy like this time.

She didn't know how long she slept. When Qian Yirong woke up, she opened her eyes and saw Xu Baiqing reading a story. The memories before she fell asleep came back to her and she remembered.

Ever since she got the company information from Qu Xueer, she immediately devoted herself to it. Over the past few days, she had read all the information with coffee and bread, and had a basic understanding of the company's situation.

Next, as long as she follows her plan, she will be able to develop the company quickly. After reading the information, she received a message from Xu Baiqing asking her if she could come over.

Although her attention has been basically focused on understanding the company's information these days, she hasn't met Xu Baiqing for several days, and she missed her a little. Perhaps she had spent too much energy on it, so she didn't think that her current situation was not suitable for meeting Xu Baiqing, so she directly agreed to Xu Baiqing and asked her to come to see her.

Now that Qian Yirong had had enough rest, she realized how rude it was for her to sleep on Xu Baiqing's legs. However, when Qian Yirong looked up at Xu Baiqing's serious expression, she felt very at ease in her heart, as if they had been together like this many times before.

However, as Qian Yirong woke up, Xu Baiqing also noticed her gaze. She lowered her head and met Qian Yirong's smiling black eyes. Xu Baiqing also subconsciously smiled at her.

"Rongrong, you're awake." Xu Baiqing said happily.

"Well," Qian Yirong got up from Xu Baiqing's legs and said embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry for leaving you alone for so long."

"It's nothing, this is also very interesting." Xu Baiqing said as he raised the book in his hand.

Qian Yirong saw that those were the professional business books that she had casually placed next to the sofa. Normally, she would not find such a collection interesting, but looking at the expression on Xu Baiqing's face, Qian Yirong realized that she really found it interesting.

"It seems that Bai Qing is very suitable for the business career. After all, few people find such obscure business books interesting." Qian Yirong said with a smile.

Qian Yirong glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window next to her and realized that it was already evening. She had been sleeping since morning, so... Qian Yirong looked at Xu Baiqing worriedly and saw that she was frowning.

"It's been so long. Even if you didn't wake me up, you should have put me aside." Qian Yirong walked to Xu Baiqing's side. She looked at Xu Baiqing's red thigh and said distressedly, "Are you feeling very uncomfortable?"

"It's actually not that bad," Xu Baiqing said embarrassedly. Feeling Qian Yirong's gaze on her thigh, her already numb thigh couldn't help but tremble. She quickly added, "You seem to be sleeping so soundly, I don't want to wake you up."

"...I have learned some massage techniques, let me massage you." Qian Yirong said after hesitating for a moment.

After all, it was a place like the thigh, and Qian Yirong was embarrassed to touch it at first, but when she thought that it was because of her that Xu Baiqing felt uncomfortable, she wanted to take responsibility, so she said it out.

"Then... thank you for your help." Xu Baiqing blushed, but didn't want to miss the opportunity to contact Qian Yirong, so he agreed.

With Xu Baiqing's agreement, Qian Yirong also started her own action. She sat down casually on the carpet next to the sofa, so that there was a height difference between her and Xu Baiqing who was sitting on the sofa.

"Excuse me." Qian Yirong said as she placed her hand on Xu Baiqing's thigh. Feeling Xu Baiqing's leg tremble, Qian Yirong couldn't help but pause.

It was obviously a serious massage, but suddenly it became a little ambiguous. Qian Yirong tried hard to control her gaze from moving around, and all her attention was focused on the legs of Xu Baiqing.

The skin under her hand was fair and smooth, and the temperature was slightly lower than her own hand. Qian Yirong thought of Xu Baiqing's pale complexion and low body temperature, and a look of heartache flashed in her eyes. Xu Baiqing was a little weak and had too little time to recuperate. It would take some time to strengthen his body and replenish his energy.

Qian Yirong began to gently massage Xu Baiqing's legs. Feeling the tightness of the skin under her hands, she patted the side of Xu Baiqing's legs and whispered, "Baiqing, relax a little. Massage is useless if you keep it tense like this."

"...I'll try my best." Xu Baiqing's voice was a little tense, with a hint of endurance.

Qian Yirong subconsciously looked up at her, then quickly lowered her head, but the bright color on Xu Baiqing's face seemed to be engraved in her mind. With fair skin, Xu Baiqing would have very bright colors on her face, not to mention such red.

Her cheeks, ear tips, and eye corners were all decorated with bright colors, her white teeth were pressed against her lower lip, and her eyes were still moist. At this moment, Qian Yirong had a vivid understanding of the four words "vivid and colorful".

Her heartbeat quickened involuntarily, and Qian Yirong's hands also quickened their movements. However, she heard Xu Baiqing's muffled groan in her ears. It was the kind of muffled sound that was suppressed in the throat, but accidentally leaked out a little. However, the pain and other vague meanings in the voice made Qian Yirong's face turn red involuntarily.

Feeling that something would happen if she continued, Qian Yirong quickly ended the massage for Xu Baiqing. She withdrew her hand and stood up, feeling a sense of regret that she herself had not even noticed.

"...Are you okay?" Xu Baiqing's voice was trembling, and Qian Yirong's ears turned slightly red.

"Well, I'll go see what's in the kitchen. It's been so long, you must be hungry." After Qian Yirong said that, she turned around and left the living room very quickly, as if she was fleeing.

Xu Baiqing couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Qian Yirong's back. Shouldn't she be the one feeling shy? Why did Qian Yirong act as if she had been molested by him? However, Xu Baiqing was satisfied with Qian Yirong's awkward reaction, as it meant that Qian Yirong had never done such a thing for anyone else.

Xu Baiqing is a greedy person. She wants to do more with Qian Yirong and leave a deep enough mark in Qian Yirong's heart so that she will think of her when she encounters these scenes in the future.

Xu Baiqing waited until his legs were no longer painful, then got up and went to the kitchen. Qian Yirong was busy in the kitchen at this time. Qian Yirong had also learned some cooking skills during this period. After all, she didn't like strangers entering her private space.

And she didn't want to eat out often, so she had to learn how to cook by herself. She could make anything that was not too complicated by herself. When she was washing vegetables, she saw Xu Baiqing coming over.

"Why are you here? How are you? Are you okay?" Qian Yirong asked.

"Well, it's not a big deal. Besides, I can't just sit there and wait for food," Xu Baiqing said with a smile as he walked into the kitchen and rolled up his sleeves. "Is there anything I can help with?"

"Then Baiqing, please wash these." Qian Yirong saw that Xu Baiqing had made up his mind and stopped trying to persuade him. She handed the dishes she was going to cook to Xu Baiqing and said.

"Leave it to me." Xu Baiqing took it and went to the sink to start washing the vegetables.

Qian Yirong began to process the vegetables that had been washed earlier. Then the two of them washed and cut the vegetables respectively. They cooperated very well and soon prepared dinner that was enough for two people.

The simple three dishes and one soup placed on the dining table looked very warm. Xu Baiqing placed the dishes and chopsticks in place, and watched Qian Yirong bring the rice. He couldn't help thinking in his heart, it would be nice if it could be like this in the future.

Qian Yirong served Xu Baiqing some food and placed it in front of her. Seeing her staring at her blankly, she couldn't help laughing. She asked, "Why are you always looking at me?"

"...It's nothing, I just feel very happy." Xu Baiqing said.

Qian Yirong thought of the cold atmosphere at the Qian family's dinner table and couldn't help but feel distressed for Xu Baiqing. He clearly longed for his family, but the situation at home was like that. It must have been a big blow to Xu Baiqing.

"If you want to, come to me anytime in the future." Qian Yirong spoke subconsciously and made a promise.

"Really?" Xu Baiqing raised his eyes and looked at Qian Yirong with sparkling eyes.

Qian Yirong, who originally felt that what she said was a little inappropriate, looked at Xu Baiqing like this and could not say anything to regret it, so she nodded and agreed.
