Chapter 124: Chasing after me is really not normal.
This is really not normal.
Qi Hanmu used to hate seeing others crying the most.
It’s the same for both men and women. If crying could solve problems, everyone in the world would cry.
He even fired three or four managers who were scolded to the point of crying because they cried easily, simply because their crying annoyed him and would bring negative impact to the company.
He didn't expect that the tears of the girl in front of him would make him want to raise his hand and wipe them away for the first time.
But it seemed like another voice told him that this was not the first time.
Qi Hanmu will always make an exception for Xia Yiqing.
Even though he couldn't remember her now.
"If..." Xia Yiqing took the tissue from Luo Qiaosheng, wiped her tears, and her voice became more nasal. She looked at Qi Hanmu with tears in her eyes.
"Someone did something really bad to you. Is it possible for you to forgive her?"
The rest of the words faded away, drowned out by the volunteers' cries to continue the class. "Children, it's time for class now. Everyone, please sit down."
Xia Yiqing quickly wiped away her tears, turned her head, stood up, and took Luo Qiaosheng to sit among the group of people.
The dean immediately ran over, bowed his head to Qi Hanmu and apologized.
"Third Master, the little girl's sister has been seriously ill recently and is in a bad mood. Please don't bother with her."
Qi Hanmu took his hands out of his pockets and placed them on the armrest beside him.
His hands were long and beautiful with distinct joints, and his fingertips were tapping the edge of the handrail. There was no response, but his eyes had already followed Xia Yiqing.
How could there be such a contradictory person? If someone wants to get in touch with him, he must be pursuing power or money. Why is Xia Yi still able to come to the welfare home and be so patient with the children?
This is clearly something that has no reward.
The doubt in Qi Hanmu's eyes was quickly replaced by a deep look. He lowered his eyelids and maintained the posture of observing from behind.
The voice of the volunteer teacher came over, and unexpectedly made him feel a little sleepy after not hearing it for a long time. "A lonely shepherd on the mountain top..."
Xia Yiqing was responsible for teaching three "city people". There were volunteers beside them, and she only needed to guide the children to shake the tambourine.
"People in the city heard in the distance..."
The rhythm is very obvious and unified in many places. Xia Yiqing can easily form muscle memory in her hands with just a little thought.
Her gaze gently moved around the classroom, and finally, slowly stopped on the pale-faced man at the back of the classroom.
Like a vampire monster from the Middle Ages, Qi Hanmu was covered in snow-white. The mask covered the lower half of his face, so one couldn't see what his lips looked like.
At this moment, he was leaning back in his chair, his eyes closed, his head slightly tilted to the left, and he must have fallen asleep.
Xia Yiqing subconsciously touched her left pocket, where the candy Qi Hanmu gave her was hidden.
Feeling that the angular curve was still there, Xia Yiqing's tense shoulders relaxed a little. She unconsciously began to rub the star watch on her left wrist. These were two of the few things Qi Hanmu left for her.
Qi Hanmu was half asleep and half awake when he heard the dean calling him timidly, saying that it was time to go on stage to give a speech.
The children were detained for two classes. When the get out of class was over, they were like birds just out of a cage. Even though the teacher kept them in place with his eyes and gestures, they were still not focused and looked around. Some of them even had picture books in their hands and read them without paying attention.
Seeing that they were not in high spirits, Qi Hanmu did not read the script that Luo Miao had given him.
He ended his speech with a few simple words.
When the event was suddenly over, the children were a little confused. Seeing the teachers clapping, they also raised their hands and clapped twice at the end.
Xia Yiqing's eyes followed the figure on the stage closely, and she reached for her trouser pocket more and more eagerly. She knew the distance between her and Qi Hanmu, and she also understood that it would be extremely easy for Qi Hanmu to avoid her.
But finally, as if fate had fallen from the sky, the two met in an orphanage. They had no official business there, so it was a completely private occasion.
This made Xia Yiqing feel itchy, and she wanted to rush up to him regardless of everything and rekindle their old relationship.
After the meeting, the children were taken to the second floor. When the count was made, one child was missing. The dean found out that Luo Qiaosheng was missing and frowned.
When he went downstairs to look for her, he found Luo Qiaosheng holding the expressionless Third Master. The dean was frightened and anxious, and couldn't help but yell, "Let go, Luo Qiaosheng."
The children in the welfare home are a little different from those outside. Some of them are sensitive and extremely eager for affection. When the volunteer team comes, the children often ask for hugs.
As long as these behaviors do not occur during class time, the teachers at the welfare home will turn a blind eye.
But the dean never expected that such indulgence would give Luo Qiaosheng the courage to hold the hand of the third master.
Qi Hanmu glanced at the dean calmly. He leaned over and touched Luo Qiaosheng's cheek. "She's very cute." Then a smile appeared in his sharp eyes. "Thank you for the candy. Brother likes it very much."
Xia Yiqing hadn't seen a man with his eyes narrowed for a long time, and for a moment, she was dazzled.
He is obviously a powerful person, but when he smiles, his eyes blink, like a little fox, which is somewhat cute and does not match his status.
"Hmm?" Qi Hanying came to pick up Qi Hanmu after receiving an order from Old Madam Qi. Seeing a human-like creature standing in front of his brother and talking to him, his heart was alarmed. He took two steps instead of three.
"Who are you?"
This sentence was not polite at all, but Qi Hanying had been spoiled for a long time, so there was nothing wrong with questioning someone like this.
He took a step forward towards the welfare home and wanted to explain with a smile, but saw Qi Hanmu holding up a palm.
Qi Hanmu's face showed no expression, he just looked ahead calmly, "Maybe it's a volunteer."
Xia Yiqing's breath was caught in her throat. Qi Hanmu's look of comforting her when she was crying not long ago was still fresh in her mind. Could he comfort any girl with such sweet words now?
It seemed as if he had completely let her go.
The familiar feeling of frustration surged up again. Xia Yiqing clenched her fists tightly, trying to use the pain of her fingertips piercing her palms to force herself to be more sober.
Not to mention the natural transfer of love, it is also possible that love may turn into hate due to betrayal by the lover.
As long as I can see Qi Hanmu, wouldn’t I be halfway to victory?
He kept staring at the expression on the girl's face, not even noticing her frown and then relax. Qi Hanmu might have been too focused, or he might have stood up too quickly.
A familiar feeling of discomfort came over Qi Hanmu. He pursed his lips, closed his eyes and breathed to try to relieve it. His head was splitting with pain. Even after taking deep breaths, the dull pain from inside to outside still could not be relieved.
It was like someone was tapping his temples with a hammer. Qi Hanmu was like a fragile glass object, struggling to resist the blow of the hammer, but tiny cracks had already appeared inside, and it could snap and break apart at any time.
Xia Yiqing heard the man's breathing becoming more rapid, and she involuntarily took a step towards him, "Are you okay? Do you want to take medicine?"
Xia Yiqing didn't take off her mask, but Qi Hanying next to her suddenly screamed.
"Xia Yiqing, you evil person, why do you dare to approach my brother!"
"Hanying," Qi Hanmu glanced at him calmly, "Explain what 'return' means."
Being as smart as he is, he naturally realized that something was wrong a long time ago. Even if he had lost his memory, the people around him would not be so hostile to Xia Yiqing, as if they were guarding against thieves.
Now that Qi Hanying accidentally let the secret slip, Qi Hanmu naturally would not miss this rare opportunity to explore.
"No, I..." Qi Hanying had to grit her teeth and justify herself, "I just said that she stopped Miss Gongsun last time, which caused chaos in the Qi family. Didn't she also harm you?"
"You know that's not what I want to hear. The truth."
Qi Hanmu's tone was calm, but the look in his eyes when he looked at Qi Hanying was full of criticism.
It was difficult for people to remain calm when being looked at in such a manner. Even though Qi Hanying was still standing, the hairs on her body had already stood on end, like a cat with its back arched and fur standing on end, as if it was frightened.
"She..." Qi Hanying swallowed hard, thinking that Madam Qi didn't put too many restrictions, so she chose her words carefully.
"You had a special relationship with her before, but if you forget it, then forget it."
Qi Hanying's voice was not loud, and Qi Hanmu had no difficulty understanding what she said, but Xia Yiqing next to her was frozen all over, like a sculpture sealed in an ice shell.
It is not difficult for normal people to understand what it means to forget.
But why did I forget?
How could I forget?
"Third Master," Xia Yiqing slowly took off her mask. Since she had been recognized, there was no need for her to hide anymore.
"You... don't remember me?"
Qi Hanmu opened his eyes and said calmly, "Why should I remember?"
Suddenly, a burst of ecstasy surged into Xia Yiqing's heart. Her eyes brightened a little, her eyebrows unconsciously raised, and the hands hanging by her side began to tremble unconsciously.
In the lyrics, people are always asking.
Whether it's "Can you give me a song?" or "Please give me a little more time and a little more tenderness," people are using lyrics to express their demands on their loved ones.
But Xia Yiqing was really lucky. She didn't have to ask for it, and this opportunity had already fallen in front of her.
Qi Hanmu lost his memory.
Although he forgot his love for her.
But at the same time, he also didn't remember the injuries.
This is actually a very good deal, isn't it? Xia Yiqing pressed her middle finger into the palm of her hand, and the corners of her mouth slowly lifted up, but there was a hint of bitterness in her smile.
It is not easy to pursue Qi Hanmu, who has no basic feelings for her.
But perhaps because she had been rejected too many times, Xia Yiqing had become accustomed to such bad luck, and she forced herself to widen the arc of her smile.
Before, he was the one who pursued her, now, give her a chance to make it up to him.
"Third Master," Xia Yiqing convinced herself, and the slightest bit of bad feeling disappeared in an instant, just like the water droplets on a puppy's fur when it shook itself.
"Thank you for the candy."
She took out the chocolate candy that she had been reluctant to eat from her pocket, put it in front of her chest and shook it, her lips slightly raised and her eyes turned into crescents.
In a place where Qi Hanmu couldn't see, Xia Yiqing made a gesture in the corner, indicating "sign in person".
She rolled her eyes, and although her cheeks were still puffy, Qi Hanying did not push Xia Yiqing out after all.
He rolled his eyes halfway when Qi Hanmu noticed, "Isn't the past between her and me a good memory? Why are you rolling your eyes at me when talking about this?"
This is not the condescending attitude of a superior, but more like an older brother disciplining his younger brother.
Qi Hanying chuckled and touched his head.
Xia Yiqing clearly noticed that Qi Hanmu's face was pale and his hand unconsciously pressed against his chest.
