Chapter 48 Before taking the medicine, Xia Yiqing only dared to think...
Before, Xia Yiqing only dared to think about it, but today, she really did it.
The moment it landed on the man's shoulder blade, Xia Yiqing's hand felt as if it was burned. It only touched for a moment before it immediately returned to the air.
The person was actually just like he looked, so thin that his skin was almost exposed to his bones. When he touched him, he could see only flesh and bones through a thin layer of skin.
There were only some snacks left in the trash can, such as spicy strips, that Xiao An had eaten that morning.
Originally, Xia Yiqing didn't take it seriously, but perhaps the smell emanating from inside was too strong, causing the man's throat to move. When he lowered his head, there was more yellow water in the trash can.
Most people don't have much image when they vomit.
The food you have eaten will flow out of your mouth and nose. Even if you have an image, you can only lower your head to prevent those things from splashing on you.
But perhaps, Qi Hanmu had vomited too many times, or maybe he was naturally too calm, so he just lowered his head and let the filth slowly fall from his mouth and nose.
Most of it is water or paste, and no solid matter can be seen.
Xia Yiqing searched inside with a worried look in her eyes, but luckily she didn't see any dark brown or dark colors associated with bloodstains.
She wanted to turn her eyes into a shovel, or something, to search through the pile of things that gave off a strange smell, but when she saw the man's trembling shoulders, she finally gave up the idea.
Everyone has a sense of shame, especially men. Although their relationship is not ordinary, she should not expose his shortcomings for the time being. At worst, she can wait until he leaves and then look for someone else.
Unfortunately, she couldn't hide her little thoughts from Qi Hanmu at all.
Xia Yiqing hesitated for only a moment before Qi Hanmu's voice slowly came, "There's no blood this time, you can rest assured."
"Oh," Xia Yiqing was not very good at making small talk, so she just told the truth.
"Don't think too much about it. The doctor just told me to pay attention to whether there's blood in your vomit. After all, you have a history of gastric bleeding... Don't take it too seriously."
The girl has beautiful eyes, and when she speaks, if she is not being deliberately gentle, it is as if she is discussing with a peer, with a gentle yet generous tone.
It doesn't seem like a lie, but rather a very sincere attitude.
It's rare, especially in front of him.
Qi Hanmu saw a half-opened bottle of mineral water on the table. He picked it up, unscrewed it, tilted his head back, rinsed a mouthful, and then spit it into the garbage bag.
The coldness spread from between the lips and teeth, to the throat, and then fell down to the stomach.
There was no immediate reaction.
Qi Hanmu rarely curled his lips because of the girl's sincerity and the fact that she did not lie to him.
"What you said makes sense. After all, I'm not someone who cares about my own life. But if I'm secretly uncomfortable, you probably won't be able to see it."
Xia Yiqing was unaware of Qi Hanmu's calm tone. She thought for a moment before replying, "So?"
The man's look was meaningful.
"Think about it, under what circumstances can you pay attention to all my situations and notice them in time."
The man's tone was too casual, just like the orders he would give when discussing a project or doing things in a meeting, except that it was less coercive and more gentle.
But it still makes people do it involuntarily.
"It should be that we have more contact, like me being by your side. That way, if there are any other situations, I can notice them in time. It seems like that."
Qi Hanmu spread his hands and said, "I didn't say you have to follow me every day, but because of this idea, maybe you have no choice but to follow me."
What kind of logic is this? It's like a robber.
Even robbers don't force things like this.
Xia Yiqing blinked. "This is just the doctor's advice to me. I'm only keeping an eye on you out of moral obligation. The doctor won't scold me if I don't. After all, you're the only one who's ultimately responsible for your health, isn't that right?"
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire office seemed to become colder.
The bottle of mineral water that the man placed on the table was probably capped too tightly, and stimulated by the sudden cold air, it had begun to shrink and would probably spray out as soon as the cap was opened.
After realizing what she had said in anger, Xia Yiqing pursed her lips. Seeing the pale face of the man in front of her, she regretted why she was angry with him.
Fortunately, resilience is one of her virtues.
"I'm sorry, I rarely see anyone who doesn't care about his body so much. Maybe my words were a little harsh. I hope you don't mind too much." This person really doesn't care about his body.
It was the same not long ago when he was determined to transfer the bomb from him to her.
It was a bit strange no matter how she put it. Xia Yiqing took a step back and said in a more businesslike tone, "Luo Miao went to Qi's to deliver the documents. There should be other people with Mr. Qi. Ask them to send you some stomach medicine. I'll be busy now."
The entire Qi family belongs to him, but the Xia family is not his. Xia Yiqing smiled bitterly in her heart.
He could delay, but she couldn't. She had an appointment with someone for a meeting, so she had to rush over.
Otherwise, if the project is not done well and the mistakes are caught by the higher-ups, she will probably be demoted again.
The moment the woman's graceful figure left the office, the man who had been sitting in the office chair in the same position for a long time finally moved.
He supported himself on the table and stood up. His steps were a little unsteady, but he ran to the bathroom outside at a relatively fast speed.
Fortunately, there were not many people in the bathroom at this time.
Qi Hanmu pushed open the door, supported himself on the sink, and vomited violently, his voice heart-wrenching and suppressed.
I just vomited in the office. I haven't eaten much in the past few days, so if I vomit again, it will just be acid water.
He grabbed his stomach hard. The organ, which was already restless, spasmed even more violently under the stimulation of the cold hand. Even through the thin layer of skin, he could feel the trembling inside, and no matter how expensive the fabric was, it could not hide it.
"Well……"
The mirror in the bathroom reflected the man's appearance at the moment. His skin was pale and his face was bloodless. There were a few sparkling spots on the tip of his nose, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth next to his thin lips.
Leng Jing stuffed the blood-stained mask into his pocket. Qi Hanmu's Adam's apple moved and he spat out a mouthful of sour water mixed with blood.
The faucet was flowing with clear water, mercilessly washing away the things that were originally on the sink. After the flushing, the entire sink was as clean as new, as if it had never received those filth at all.
"Squeak——" someone pushed the door.
A middle-aged man's voice sounded behind Qi Hanmu, "Hey, brother, who are you? I don't think I've seen you much."
It didn't sound like there was anything excessive, but Qi Hanmu slowly raised his head, and his sharp eyes, reflected by the light from the mirror, pierced through the man's eyes.
The man immediately shut up, hunched his shoulders, and behaved sullenly, slipping past him into a cubicle.
Through a door, his voice rang out like a thief, "Guys, there's a weird guy in the men's room. He's standing still at the sink, wearing a black windbreaker, and I don't know who he's trying to scare."
Ignoring him, Qi Hanmu took out a new blue and white mask from his pocket, hung it on his right ear, put it on his left ear, stretched it open, flattened it, adjusted it in front of the mirror, and then walked out.
Only a unique fishy smell of blood still remained between his lips and teeth, jumping up and down on his sense of smell, reminding the man of his current weakness.
He stopped at the corner, and an ordinary person who had been waiting in the shadows came over and asked, "Third Master, what can I do for you?"
As the Third Master's subordinates, they had already quietly infiltrated the Xia family.
Qi Hanmu's eyes drooped, his fingertips unconsciously retracted into his pocket to play with the blood-stained mask. The girl's worried eyes flashed before him again and again, as did her words.
"Send your people to buy some stomach medicine."
It's ridiculous, as if it will be useful as soon as you buy it.
I have taken a lot of pills, tablets, capsules, Chinese medicine and Western medicine.
It's a pity that if it really worked, he wouldn't have lost his composure in front of the woman he liked.
"Buy a box of stomach medicine."
Just as the subordinate was about to ask if there were any requirements regarding the brand, their Third Master turned around, stood tall, and walked towards an office.
Although I don't understand it, one of the important qualities that makes subordinates become subordinates of the Third Master is obedience. No matter what the order is, they just execute it without asking.
So when Xia Yiqing came back from the meeting at six o'clock, she saw that only a small light was on in the office. Under the dim light, a man was sitting in an office chair with a computer in front of him.
Maybe there was a reason why God favored this man. After all, working while sick was too much of a workaholic, and Xia Yiqing admitted that she couldn't do it.
It was clearly her own office, but Xia Yiqing inexplicably stopped at the door.
To go in or not to go in.
Xiao An was not in good shape the whole afternoon. As soon as Xia Yiqing stopped, she was hit hard on the shoulder blade on her back. Although the force was not strong, it still made her stagger forward and fall into the man's sight.
The man who was working at his desk slowly raised his eyes.
Those pair of dark eyes were quietly projected across half the office, like a spotlight in the deep sea, deep and mysterious, making people want to reach for them like moths to a flame.
The man's pair of silver-framed glasses, which he only wore when he was working, had some kind of enhancing effect on his vision, but the reflection of his eyes behind the glasses made Xia Yiqing's scalp tingle.
The boss's vision is indeed extraordinary, so it's better not to engage in close combat easily.
She curled her lips, turned her head to avoid the man's gaze, and changed the subject casually, saying in a relaxed tone, "Have you taken the medicine?"
As she spoke, her eyes slid gently across the table. The man pressed his slender fingertips on the back of a small box and slowly pushed it over.
Unable to bear the ambiguous atmosphere in the office, Xia Yiqing reached out, touched the switch, and turned on the light.
Suddenly, the lights in the office came on brightly, and the two people's faces were no longer covered by the shadow.
But when she really saw the man's face, she felt a little disappointed.
I always feel like he's missing something when I look at him this way.
"I didn't turn on the light on purpose. Did it hurt your eyes?"
A cold light flashed in Qi Hanmu's eyes, and he tapped the box twice with his fingertips. Xia Yiqing looked along the line of his bony fingers and found a few large words on it.
"Aluminum carbonate chewable tablets".
"Oh, have you taken the medicine? It seems that this medicine needs to be taken with food. Do you want you to order some takeout or have someone bring some food over?"
The man didn't respond, but suddenly pressed his hand on his upper abdomen again, with a forbearing expression.
