Chapter 83: Reluctant to Let Go There is a voice in my heart that keeps tempting...
There is a voice in my heart that keeps tempting me.
It's okay. You're not in good health anyway. Even if you don't use a nasal oxygen tube, your face is so pale and the back of your hands are full of needle holes from infusions. How could she be suspicious?
Gently lifting her wrist, she could see the purple and blue needle marks on the back of her fair hand, which could not be concealed at all.
Some of the blood oozed out because he pulled out the needle without permission. Although it had already formed a scab, the blood spots looked quite shocking.
Perhaps, if he showed these truths to Xia Yiqing, she would also pity him if she was interested in him.
Will it?
The moment he heard the knock on the door, Qi Hanmu's heart, which had been working hard, jumped into his throat.
Like a nimble and light leopard, he crouched down and rushed to the bed in a few seconds, lifted the quilt, slid in, closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and did it all in one go.
But this time is different from before.
This time, his lips had a little color due to the intense exercise, but he kept them tightly closed, as if he was afraid that his heart would jump out of his throat and tell Xia Yiqing the truth that he was pretending to be sick.
Would she hate him even more if that happened?
I think so.
While pouring cold water on himself, Qi Hanmu's left hand unconsciously reached under the pillow, trying to touch the silk scarf. Just as it was halfway in the air, it retracted as if it had been electrocuted.
If it were discovered that he had secretly kept Xia Yiqing's scarf, would the scarf still be his?
Obviously, no.
Its owner will take it away without mercy, leaving him with only some broken thoughts.
don't want.
Not allowed.
“Crack—”
In fact, there was almost no sound when the door opened, but Xia Yiqing unconsciously added to the sound.
Without much mental preparation, she strode in with Luo Miao.
So dark.
This was Xia Yiqing's first thought after entering the master bedroom.
In fact, Xia Yiqing should not be unfamiliar with this master bedroom. During the three years in Yiyuan, she spent most of her daily life in this master bedroom.
But the moment Butler Qi turned on the light, everything here seemed so unfamiliar.
The originally soft big bed was now half raised. On the bedside table, Xia Yiqing's various dressing supplies had not been moved away, but there was an oxygen concentrator with various pipes connected to it.
At the end of this pipeline is Qi Hanmu.
Xia Yiqing didn't want to watch it at first, but she couldn't bear it anymore. She didn't know whether it was out of pity for Qi Hanmu or heartache for her beloved.
The man lying on his back on the bed was not wearing a nasal oxygen tube, but anyone who saw him would not doubt that he was not a patient.
Because the man's face was too pale, so pale that it was almost transparent, like a porcelain doll that would break if it fell to the ground in the cupboard.
When he saw Xia Yiqing, a little bit of spirit appeared in his originally empty eyes. He didn't dare to say much, just a tiny trace.
After Xia Yiqing saw this, her conscience was pinched so hard that even her voice became a little hoarse. "I... came to see you."
The ECG monitor was silently changing the data. The man whose data was being measured curled his lips, and his handsome features showed a rare softness.
"It's okay," he said in a seemingly nonchalant tone, but in fact, the corners of his eyes were quietly red.
"I know you have to be busy with work and worry about the Chamber of Commerce, but unfortunately I am not in good health and cannot do the hard work for you."
This statement was somewhat contrary to Tian Gang's opinion, but Xia Yiqing, who was so caught up in her own emotions, didn't realize it.
She just felt a little guilty, thinking that Qi Hanmu was referring to her leaving without saying goodbye last night, but what Qin Fei said that night was really too much.
Xia Yiqing stood up straighter, feeling that even if she argued face to face, she would not be in the wrong.
But no matter what, her words softened. "Third Master, where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll call a doctor to take a look at you, okay?"
The girl's words were gentle and her face was calm, with a power that could soothe people's hearts.
Under normal circumstances, Qi Hanmu would not be able to suppress his heartbeat, but at this moment his heart was still beating, but with a little panic.
In Xia Yiqing's opinion, perhaps Qi Hanmu was embarrassed, his handsome face was a little red, even his nose tip, which was usually white, was now stained with a bit of crimson, and his cold white earlobes also looked a bit bloody.
It seems that Qi Hanmu is not particularly uncomfortable.
Xia Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief at her guess, but at the same time, she didn't dare to relax completely. "Didn't you just say you weren't feeling well? Why don't you call a doctor to check it out, Third Master?"
“No need.”
The rolling Adam's apple with a distinct curve looks delicious in another sense.
Noticing Xia Yiqing's gaze lingering near his jaw, Qi Hanmu finally felt a sense of luck that he had gotten away with it, "It hurt a lot just now, but now that you're here, it doesn't hurt anymore."
The man's voice was not loud, but had a magnetic quality, and was low like a cello, humming in the moonlight, inexplicably alluring.
But when he said this while lying on the bed with a pale face, it lost some of its credibility.
"No," Xia Yiqing felt inexplicably sad as she looked at the back of the hand of the person in front of her, which was swollen due to the long infusion. She pursed her lips and said in a somewhat tough manner.
"There's nothing trivial about your health. No matter what, you should see a doctor first."
After saying this, Qi Hanmu subconsciously wanted to cover the call bell beside the bed with his hand, but he didn't know whether it was because he was too fond of Xia Yiqing's favor and deliberately didn't want to move, or because he was really ill for a long time and his reaction speed had slowed down, so he was a step slower.
Xia Yiqing's slender white fingertips reached the call bell before him and pressed it hard.
He pulled the corners of his mouth, and a surge of joy suddenly surged in his heart. Qi Hanmu felt that he was really going crazy.
Reason told him that he absolutely could not let a doctor come to see him now, otherwise, Xia Yiqing would probably hold a grudge against him for his behavior of pretending to be sick when he was not.
But perhaps it was because he hadn't received Xia Yiqing's care for too long, and his heart hadn't been comforted for a long time. Surprise was running wild in his heart, filling it up, and it also felt a little sour and swollen.
It was as if he didn't struggle in the black water, and was sucked into the huge whirlpool, with all his limbs and bones sucked in, and thrown into the bottom of the abyss.
It seems to be pretty good to just sink into it while being sober.
This was the first time Qi Hanmu had this thought.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to win. Most people in the world are competitive, and Qi Hanmu is no exception. But losing to the woman he loves is different after all.
But when the female doctor came in, Qi Hanmu's broken heart still rose to his throat.
Xia Yiqing, will she be jealous of this female doctor?
If she gets angry, will she dislike him and abandon him?
Just thinking about this possibility, the relatively stable heart suddenly twisted violently, sending waves of pain that spread through the blood vessels to every part of the body.
“Hmm…”
His forehead was instantly covered with cold sweat, and a little red appeared on Qi Hanmu's pale cheek. It seemed that he had a little fever. The tip of his nose was also a little moist. His fingers unconsciously clenched the bed sheets, and the blue veins on the back of his white hands were exposed.
To be honest, this is actually a rather pleasing picture.
But Xia Yiqing was not in the mood to appreciate it.
She frowned slightly, staring at the door, glancing at the man from time to time, almost wanting to complain why the doctor hadn't given Qi Hanmu any pain relief.
Just when the dull pain in his heart was about to turn into a sharp pain, Qi Hanmu felt someone gently wiping the cold sweat from his palm. Then, his hand, which always had a lower body temperature than ordinary people, was wrapped in something warm and dry.
"It's okay," Xia Yiqing's gentle words still echoed in my ears, like the most beautiful music in the world, which could make people let down their guard without realizing it.
"The doctor is already helping you. Hang on, I'll stay with you."
Xia Yiqing was not a fool and had eyes to see. Naturally, she had discovered long ago that the doctor was not Qin Fei, but a woman wearing black-framed glasses and a white coat.
Knowing that human life is at stake, Xia Yiqing doesn't care about the doctor's gender. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, there will always be a capable person. As long as they can make Qi Hanmu feel more comfortable, it doesn't matter who it is.
"Third Master, please relax a little," the female doctor adjusted her glasses with a professional attitude.
"Given your history of gastric bleeding, I'm simply palpating you to determine the source of the pain. I'm not overstepping the bounds. Please cooperate."
Xia Yiqing's reaction also surprised Qi Hanmu.
Not only did she not care at all, but she gently wiped the sweat from his forehead with a tissue and whispered encouragement in his ear.
"Come on, let's hold on a little longer, okay? After the doctor checks, we'll know what the problem is."
These words are so childish that even a primary school child would blush if they heard them.
But when it came out of Xia Yiqing's mouth, Qi Hanmu unconsciously wanted to listen and obey.
The warmth she gave was too scarce, so Qi Hanmu would not hesitate even if it meant he was like a moth flying into a flame, even if it meant getting himself covered in bruises and burned in flames.
What's more, it's just a small cooperation inspection.
His Adam's apple rolled, and the man's gaze on Xia Yiqing's cheek became deeper and deeper, like a bottomless ocean. His voice was magnetic and seductive, "Okay."
Just one word can make one's ears itch unconsciously, making one want to scratch them, or it can make one feel numb all the way to the heart, making one feel a little embarrassed and want to turn their head away.
Fortunately, Xia Yiqing was not completely defenseless against this voice.
After all, I've been listening to it for three years. Every time I listen to it again, my legs go weak and she is no longer herself.
The doctor was very efficient. After adjusting Qi Hanmu's IV and preparing to leave, Xia Yiqing stopped him and said, "Doesn't he need oxygen in his current condition?"
The girl's eyes are pure, and what is in them is deep concern.
The doctor, who never spoke politely but only told the truth, softened his tone before speaking.
"Oxygen is not necessary. It is only needed when you have difficulty breathing or in extreme situations. If you feel okay, you don't need oxygen for the time being."
The girl subconsciously looked at Qi Hanmu, blinking her eyes. Her bright and handsome features couldn't hide her concern at all. "Third Master, are you having trouble breathing? If so, please tell me."
He didn't feel suffocated at first, but when he saw the girl holding his hand tightly, Qi Hanmu couldn't help but pursed his lips.
Xia Yiqing's hands were too warm.
Suddenly, he found himself in a dilemma.
release?
No, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, how could he give it up?
