Chapter 307 Han Xing, I'll Wait for You
Shen Hanxing was stunned.
I didn't expect him to say that at all.
And there's always something a bit baffling about this.
It made her face redder.
The heartbeat also began to beat rapidly intermittently.
My breathing is a little rapid.
"Han Xing."
Qi Moxun's expression gradually softened.
He stood up and slowly walked over to her side.
Chen Hanxing's fingertips unconsciously twisted the hem of her clothes. She heard the sound of leather shoes stepping on the wooden floor getting closer and closer, as if an invisible hand was pulling a string in her chest.
In the warm yellow light of the desk lamp, Qi Moxun's shadow enveloped her first, with the bitter scent of cedar perfume mixed with the paper, wrapping her whole body in this gentle "cage".
"Before in Country M," his voice was as low as silk soaked in warm water, and the tail tone gently brushed the tip of her red ear.
His slender fingers suddenly brushed through her falling hair and tucked the loose strands behind her ears.
"You've always been thinking about me, even risking your life for me."
"You should understand that people's efforts are mutual. If you can do this to me, I can do the same to you."
Chen Hanxing looked up suddenly, her gaze meeting his deep brown pupils. Those eyes, always cold and icy in meetings, now held an inextricable softness, blurring even her reflection. She saw her trembling eyelashes casting tiny shadows beneath her lids, like a startled butterfly before a rainstorm.
"Han Xing." He called her name for the second time, this time with a sigh-like tone.
The water cup on the desk was still steaming. In the rising white mist, his fingertips gently covered the back of her hand, which was clenched whitely.
"Do you know how nervous I was when Edson nearly killed you?" He rubbed the faint burn marks on the back of her hand with his fingertips. "But you still smiled and said it was okay, like a wet little animal trying to hold its head high."
His tone was doting.
But amidst this doting, there is also a bit of helplessness.
It makes your heart beat fast.
I really don't know how to deal with it.
In fact, the memory of Country M is important to her.
Isn't it a treasure?
At that time, she stood in the rain in a mess, the coolness on her back mixed with the warmth of the suit jacket he handed her, and the collarbone exposed by his collar when he leaned over, which was dazzlingly white in the moment of lightning.
It turned out that he remembered everything, every moment when she pretended to be calm.
Qi Moxun suddenly held her hand and gently pressed her against the bookcase behind him.
The porcelain doll displayed in the glass case was shaking, and she saw her reflection in his pupils tremble slightly with his breathing.
"I always thought I was someone who could control my emotions."
"Until now."
"I find it hard to ignore your performance."
"As long as you appear, I only have you in my eyes."
His thumb brushed across her flushed cheek, stopping at the mole beside her lip.
"So now..." His nose almost touched hers, his warm breath brushing her trembling lips, "I want to learn again, how to approach a star that is afraid of heat in a clumsy way."
The clock in the bookcase suddenly struck nine times, startling the butterfly specimens in the glass case so that they fluttered their wings and tried to fly.
Chen Hanxing heard his own heartbeat like a drum in the sound of the bell.
This moment.
She suddenly realized that all the silent tenderness had been woven into an impenetrable web long before she noticed it.
"Mr. Qi..." Her voice was as light as a feather, but he gently pressed his fingertips on her lips.
His other hand supported the back of her neck, forcing her to look directly into the dark currents surging in his eyes.
"Call me Mo Xun." His voice was hoarse with suppressed emotion, and his fingertips brushed the line of her lips. "Or... you can call me anything else."
His thoughts were clear.
Anyone who is not a fool will understand.
Suddenly, a muffled thunder rolled outside the window. In the sudden flash of lightning, Chen Hanxing saw the shadow cast by his eyelashes, like a butterfly finally landing on a budding flower.
"Mo Xun."
This call is more like a response.
This soft call made Qi Moxun's Adam's apple roll violently, and the next second, she was pressed tightly into the suit with a cold fragrance.
The coffee cup on the bookshelf finally couldn't bear the shaking, and splashed a dark brown arc in the overlapping shadows of the two people, like a comma that finally broke the silence, dissolving the unfinished words into this embrace with cedar and body temperature.
The kiss with the scent of cedar fell very lightly, like a feather skimming across the lake, but it suddenly froze when it touched her trembling lips.
Qi Moxun felt the stiffness of the person in his arms, and gently stroked the hair on the back of her neck with his fingertips until he heard her tremble slightly muffled in his suit.
"Han Xing?" He immediately let go of her hand, but still held her face with his palm, and wiped the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes with his thumb.
The halo of the desk lamp shattered into stars on her wet eyelashes, and he realized that in addition to shyness, there was something deeper and stinging in her eyes.
Chen Hanxing lowered her head and stared at the broken diamond on his tie clip. The diamond-cut diamond turned into a blurry spot of light in her pupils.
"I...actually a long time ago..." She bit her lower lip and dug her nails into the dark lines on his suit cuffs.
It is absolutely impossible for her to say that she has no feelings for Qi Moxun.
But……
"But I'm afraid..."
Qi Moxun didn't say anything, but just gently pressed her into his shoulder and rested his chin on the top of her head.
The rain outside the window suddenly became heavier, and the raindrops hit the glass with a crackling sound, which was very much like her chaotic heartbeat at the moment.
It turns out that the coldness and hardness that keeps people at a distance are just cowardice wrapped in candy wrappers.
"You know, I still haven't dealt with my relationship with my ex-husband."
"In fact, because of his entanglement, I have developed a fear of marriage."
"I always feel that if I establish such an intimate relationship, I may never be able to leave it. It will become a cage that imprisons me and become my nightmare."
The shoulders of the person in his arms were shaking, and Qi Moxun suddenly remembered that every time he targeted Fu Jingheng, he seemed to be very strong in fighting.
But these are actually new calluses growing from old wounds.
"I know."
"So, I won't force anything."
"I just want to tell you that if you are tired, I can be your support."
Chen Hanxing raised her head suddenly, and her gaze met the galaxy in his eyes. There was no compassion that she was familiar with, only the quiet moonlight that seemed to catch all the falling stars.
"I'm not afraid of being with you." She reached out and pressed her hand against his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart. "I'm afraid the shell I've finally grown will be shattered again."
Qi Moxun suddenly took her hand and placed it on his lips, kissing it softly. The warmth from her fingertips seeped through his lips, like early spring snow dripping into the frozen ground.
He looked at the watery light in her eyes, so lonely and so stubborn, like a solitary asteroid.
