Chapter 111 He Cares About You
"Cough cough, I'm fine. Cough cough"
His fingertips were a little rough from years of training, and at this moment he wrapped the slender wrist with the lightest force he had ever used in his life, as if he was holding some rare treasure and was afraid of crushing it.
When the coughing subsided, he didn't put down his hand and asked slowly: "How have you been recently?"
Qiao Suisui was startled and said, "If I say it's not good, it would be a bit hypocritical, because I am well taken care of by everyone."
Anubis didn't miss the flash of dejection on her face. He ignored the mention of 'everyone' and paused for two seconds before saying, "Are you happy?"
Qiao Susu's expression was a little stagnant. This was the first time someone asked her if she was happy since she came here.
Her throat felt a little tight, and she subconsciously avoided the question, as if if she answered Bi's question, she would not be able to help but expose her grievances in front of him.
She forced a smile and changed the subject: "It was inconvenient with them just now, so I didn't ask. Is the person who hurt you someone I know?"
When she asked this, she already had the answer in her heart.
Anubis was silent for a few seconds, emotions swirling in his eyes.
"yes."
"Is that person Munakata?"
She was afraid that Anubis didn't know his name, so she took out his photo and showed it to him directly.
Anubis nodded stiffly. He concealed Zongfang's injury to himself not to cover up for him, but because he didn't know how to face Qiao Suisui.
Although the incident happened suddenly and he was a little confused due to the serious injury, Anubis remembered every word of Zongfang, so he was able to infer from the meaning of the words why this man was looking for trouble with him and even wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Anubis, realizing this, didn't dare look Qiao Suisui in the eye. He was wavering in his heart: Did Qiao really love him? If not, why did Zongfang want to kill him? If so, how would he face this feeling? They were both males.
"Joe, you're very good. I mean, I won't reject you. It's just that I don't know if I am good enough. But I will give you a serious explanation. Maybe, it may take some time."
What Anubis said was confusing, and Qiao Susu was also confused.
She tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "I should be the one giving you an explanation."
Anubis was stunned, and his heart sank when he heard her next words.
"Bi, I'm sorry. This is all my fault. There were some issues between him and me that we didn't handle properly. Although he's paranoid, he's very good to me. So even if everyone thinks he's unscrupulous, I don't want to join others in blaming him. I know he did something very cruel to you, so let me make it up to you. No matter what it is, I will do everything I can to make it up to you."
After saying that, there was no response from Bi for a long time. Qiao Suisui looked up and saw him looking at her quietly. His eyes seemed to have become particularly dark, so dark that they lost all reflection.
"Compare?"
Qiao Susu looked at him in confusion, but saw Anubis lower his head and chuckle slowly. The laugh was bigger than his previous laughs, but he didn't look happy at all. The emotion was too complicated for Qiao Susu to understand.
"I don't want any compensation from you," he said.
Qiao Suisui's heart was suddenly in a knot, thinking that he would not forgive her, but she heard him say, "I have gained a lot from you."
Those were ordinary yet precious memories he had never had before. They were the days he had always longed for, the days he would trade for anything.
"And that man didn't kill me in the end. Look at this." Anubis held out his arm, showing her the black line of blood. "He gave me his blood to drink. I guess it's because his blood didn't cause any rejection in my body, which suppressed my violent nature."
Qiao Susu was surprised when she heard this.
"Jo, he helped me." Anubis looked at her, the seriousness in his eyes making him look more mature than his age. "He misunderstood, and he cares about you very much."
Qiao Suisui was stunned for a moment, digesting the information in his words for a long time. After a while, she finally realized and said, "You mean he thinks I like you?"
Anubis looked at her silently, and for a moment, he almost asked: Is what he thought right?
However, he simply turned his gaze away indifferently, suppressing the impulse in his heart. The impulse was like a frantic sparrow, flying around in his body, trying to break out.
Qiao Suisui didn't notice his dejected look and frowned, thinking, "But that's not right. If it was just this serious, he wouldn't behave so abnormally."
In her eyes, Zong Fang was a proud man. Because of his strong strength, he would never do anything to harm others secretly. Usually, he would deal with anyone who made him unhappy on the spot. He would not be as capricious as this time, killing people one moment and helping others the next.
Qiao Sui Sui's thoughts began to trace back and she found that it all started that night at the banquet, when he left without saying goodbye. Although she asked Zong Fang why, he did not explain what happened.
"Banquet. Lan Ze?"
Anubis saw her mumbling to herself, and then suddenly a light flashed in her eyes as if she had thought of something.
"Thank you for telling me this, Bi." Qiao Suisui looked at him seriously. "No matter what, I will definitely give you an explanation."
As Qiao Suisui walked out of the ward, Bi's words still echoing in her mind. She slowly stopped, clicked on her computer, and expertly found Zong Fang's ID. She stared at it for a moment, then clicked exit. She took a deep breath, her fingertips trembling slightly. She clicked on the chat box with him again and saw that the message stopped at three words -
【I'm waiting for you】
This was sent the last time he came to pick her up from school.
Qiao Suisui clicked on his ID, her finger hesitantly hovering over the key she was about to dial. It was only two seconds, but it felt so much longer. Suddenly, an audio message popped up on the computer screen.
乔穗穗愣了愣，最终还是点了接通。好听的声音响起，只是语调一如既往欠揍。
"Excuse me, I'd like to speak to Dr. Qiao."
Qiao Suisui: “.”
"Doctor Qiao, are you there? Can you help me take a look?"
"What's your serious illness?"
"I am hurt by your indifference."
Qiao Suisui: “.”
Five minutes ago, Carl finished his mission and couldn't wait to turn on his computer.
There wasn't a single missed call as expected. Okay, that's okay. She doesn't like to call, so it doesn't matter. Okay, let him check the message.
Karl slid his hand downwards, the light brain refreshed, and the unread messages were pulled down.
0.
At this moment, a colleague from the Federation happened to pat Carl on the shoulder to say hello, but he didn't respond at all, and even looked a little strong from behind.
The colleague was puzzled and wanted to call him, but he heard Karl closing his eyes and practicing with the light computer: "This is not a light computer, this is not a light computer, this is fried pig intestines, this is fried pig intestines. I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming."
A colleague looked at the laptop in his hand and said, "This is a laptop, Carl. Are you hungry?"
