Chapter 123: Encounter Logically speaking, Qi...
Logically speaking, Qi Hanmu would not go to the Jiangcheng Welfare Home.
Even if he provided some financial support to the welfare home, given his status, he didn't need to go there in person. He could just let his subordinates do it.
When Xia Yiqing went to the Jiangcheng Welfare Home to help the children and relax, she didn't expect to see Qi Hanmu here.
The children in Jiangcheng Welfare Home are physically weak and are generally not open to the public.
When the epidemic broke out a few years ago, the welfare home completely lost contact with the society. Now I heard that it has been connected with the local university volunteer team. The Xia family where Xia Yiqing belongs has also been providing financial support to the Jiangcheng Welfare Home.
A new batch of supplies arrived, and Xia Yiqing used this as an excuse to come to the welfare home.
She told the hospital in advance that she just wanted to be a volunteer today and that they didn't need to worry too much about her identity.
Just as Xia Yiqing put on her volunteer uniform and was teaching children to sing musicals with a team of college students, she suddenly saw a familiar figure outside.
At the entrance, a somewhat familiar Rolls-Royce Phantom flashed before her eyes. Xia Yiqing's eyes lit up. That was clearly the license plate of Qi Hanmu's private car.
Qi Hanmu is here too?
This idea was like a small stone thrown into the lake of Xia Yiqing's heart, causing ripples layer by layer.
She and Qi Hanmu were now separated by a floor-to-ceiling window. As long as they pushed the window open, they would be able to see each other and even talk.
Qi Hanmu, who was sitting on a chair outside, noticed the gazes from inside the house. He turned around suddenly and saw a group of college students and children wearing masks.
It was probably an illusion. Qi Hanmu pulled up the mask with his left hand and pressed the metal strip tightly. He had been wearing a mask today, so he probably wouldn't be recognized.
Unless the welfare home has already informed them.
However, if they dared to reveal even a little bit of his whereabouts, they would probably lose their positions.
The college student team is composed of young men and women, mostly girls. They are all very caring and very patient when talking and playing with children who are different from others.
Xia Yiqing was mixed in with them. Except for the exposed upper half of her face which was too white, the rest of her looked not much different from those college students.
Qi Hanmu, who walked in from outside, naturally noticed Xia Yiqing at first sight.
But there were too many people and the children were noisy. He wanted to rush over to grab the microphone and yell several times. Not to mention distracting the children, even someone like Qi Hanmu, who had the highest concentration, couldn't help but divert some of his attention to the noisy environment.
"Children, sing along with us, le-e-oh de le-e-oh de le-e-oh."
Most of the volunteers clapped their hands, tilted their heads to look at the children, and clapped to the rhythm, while the sound came through the masks, leading the children to sing.
Although Xia Yiqing's musical talent is not high, she can be a singer, but she is okay. She can sing a song normally without any problem and stay in tune.
The melody was simple, so she memorized it and helped the volunteers take care of the remaining children. Unfortunately, the children didn't appreciate it and grabbed Xia Yiqing's smart watch, asking her to put it on his wrist.
Qi Hanmu's hands in his pockets slowly tightened, and his brows unconsciously frowned.
"Third Master," although they said that he didn't need special care, how could the hospital dare to leave Qi Hanmu alone? The dean and vice dean were all diligently accompanying Qi Hanmu.
"This is a volunteer group of nearby university students. They're here to teach the kids about musicals. Would you like to take a look?"
Fortunately, it was okay. After walking two steps, Qi Hanmu felt very dizzy. He raised his hand and pinched his solar plexus, then nodded.
Qi Hanmu's hearing improved significantly after he underwent a unilateral cochlear implant surgery on his right side due to dizziness, a bad side effect of hypoxia. However, the hair on that side had already been shaved off. Fortunately, his upper hair was longer and covered the nearby wound.
But cochlear implants are different from hearing aids.
Although it sounds clearer, there is no way to take it off to deal with this noisy environment.
Unless - one-click shutdown.
But in that case, his hearing would have to rely on his left ear, which was also in poor condition, and he would be half-lost connection with the world.
For a moment, he couldn't help but frown. Qi Hanmu pulled up the mask again. He exhaled, stretched out his left palm, and pressed the left and right temples with his left thumb and middle finger respectively.
The last rescue brought many adverse consequences, including amnesia, which has now become a taboo word, and headaches that occur from time to time.
This time when he came to Jiangcheng Welfare Home, it was because Old Madam Qi persuaded Qi Hanmu to do something else and relax.
Unexpectedly, the wind made me feel even more dizzy. I took a breath and my nose felt a little blocked. I wondered if I had caught a cold.
Qi Hanmu thought about the children's poor health, so he didn't go over and just said lightly, "Don't let the children grab things."
Naturally, a teacher walked over in a few steps, took off the watch, and put it in Xia Yiqing's hand.
After getting the smartwatch, the girl looked relieved, and even her frown relaxed a little.
The corners of her eyes curved, but Qi Hanmu frowned even deeper. He seemed to vaguely remember something, but it was a very vague image after all, and he couldn't remember it clearly.
It didn't matter, Qi Hanmu sat down on the remaining chair in the corner, but found that the pack of "Yu Fu Ji" on the table looked very familiar.
It seemed to be the bag of chocolate candies that he asked Butler Qi to clear out last night.
This is really not right.
Qi Hanmu frowned slightly. The college students had been singing with the children for almost an hour, and it was time to let the children rest.
Qi Hanmu sat aside and watched, and suddenly felt that the children in this welfare home were quite happy. There were many volunteers who came, and they could take care of each child one by one, and each child had his or her own exclusive companion.
It’s not like when he was a child, when he could only look forward to one person all the time.
Wait—a needle-like pain came from Qi Hanmu's solar plexus. He couldn't help but dig his fingertips into his palm and clench his teeth.
Who is that person?
Unexpectedly, this idea triggered a series of consequences. Not only did Qi Hanmu's temples start twitching, but half of his scalp also became numb.
Suddenly, his heart seemed to be overwhelmed and began beating rapidly, jumping up and down like a bungee jumping device that could malfunction at any time.
At the moment of frowning, Qi Hanmu glanced at the corner unintentionally and saw a little girl squatting with her knees hugged.
Coincidentally, when Qi Hanmu looked down, the girl just raised her head, and the two met unexpectedly and made eye contact.
Qi Hanmu had always had a good memory.
But after the lack of oxygen, his brain function was also affected. The moment the girl raised her eyes, he only felt that she looked a little familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on anything deeper.
"Brother," the little girl said, quite familiarly. She ran up to Qi Hanmu, her eyes sparkling. "Can you play with me?"
Luo Qiaosheng's eyes lit up as she looked at this unfamiliar brother who exuded a reliable aura. She was a narrow-minded person, and when she noticed that Qi Hanmu's eyes intentionally or unintentionally passed over the chocolate candy in her hand, she raised the candy in her hand.
"Handsome brother, can you play house with me? If you play with me, I will give you candy."
Normally, children can drink water and go to the toilet during breaks, but most of the children just sat there blankly. However, when Luo Qiaosheng came in front of Qi Hanmu, the hospital staff did not go up to disturb them.
However, Xia Yiqing couldn't help but frown, "That person's identity is not simple." She didn't want to say much, and only said a few words, "It's better to let Qiao Sheng come back."
The vice president sighed softly and leaned close to Xia Yiqing's ear cautiously.
"Boss Xia, Qiao Sheng's sister...is not in good condition. She's finally regaining some energy. Please give her a chance."
Xia Yiqing did not follow up on Luo Qiaoli's condition in person, but she learned from the vice president that although the medical expenses were paid by Qi's family, sometimes doctors were unable to save the patient. After all, doctors are not gods.
Joys and sorrows are a compulsory course in life.
Unfortunately, it is difficult for Luo Qiaosheng, such a young child, to experience this.
Thinking of this, Xia Yiqing turned her eyes away, unable to bear to finish reading.
But unexpectedly, as soon as she turned her head, the corner of her clothes sank, as if someone was pulling it down, "Sister, can you play house with me?"
There was no reason to refuse. Naturally, the children had to be put first during the time in the welfare home. Xia Yiqing stood up from the stool in a daze and took a step. Seeing that it was Luo Qiaosheng who invited her to play, she was not surprised.
But when Xia Yiqing saw that Luo Qiaosheng's destination was Qi Hanmu, her pupils shrank slightly.
The temperature in her hands also dropped.
After just a few steps, Luo Qiaosheng turned back in confusion, "Sister, are you cold? Do you want to turn up the air conditioner a little higher?"
"fine."
Xia Yiqing didn't dare to say that she was so excited, or that her body was almost out of control after seeing Qi Hanmu.
"Handsome brother," Luo Qiaosheng was different from other children. She had a sense of cleverness, but like other children, she also had a sense of innocence.
"This is Sister Xiaoqing."
Qi Hanmu looked up along the hand they were holding. Xia Yiqing had very fair skin and a pair of almond-shaped eyes that were always moist. She looked as if someone would bully her at any time.
With his hands folded across his chest, Qi Hanmu nodded without saying anything more. He just used his eyes to indicate that the game could begin.
Luo Qiaosheng asked Xia Yiqing to play her mother and Qi Hanmu to play her father, and asked her mother to give the candy to her father, while she watched from the side, with her hands under her cheeks, smiling so hard that her teeth were showing.
Xia Yiqing took the piece of "Yu Fu Ji". Although the candy was not heavy, her hands were shaking unconsciously. "Candy", she seemed to be unable to find any extra words. Fearing that Qi Hanmu would be bored, she used the fewest words, "For you."
"Thank you." Qi Hanmu was quite polite. He took it and nodded.
There was a sudden sour feeling at the tip of her nose. Xia Yiqing sniffed and her eyes seemed to be acting strangely. There was a warmth gathering and trying to go to the corners of her eyes.
"Oh, Mom is so touched."
Luo Qiaosheng clapped his hands and giggled.
The welfare home's management was waiting not far away at Qi Hanmu's request. The more they watched, the more anxious they became. They wanted to step forward to stop him, but the man's gaze kept them in place.
"Don't cry anymore." Even if Qi Hanmu had a bad memory, he recognized Xia Yiqing now. Who else could it be but Mr. Xia who was squatting downstairs of Qi's building?
"If you cry again, I'll take the candy away."
The strange thing was that he didn't feel annoyed at all when he saw the girl's tears.
Instead, he felt unhappy and empty in his heart, and his heart was beating fast. Qi Hanmu's fingers were stiff, and he couldn't even take a piece of paper to wipe Xia Yiqing's tears.
