Chapter 91: Whispering: I really can’t let him go. …
I really can't let him go.
Butler Qi behind him didn't move, and didn't even raise his eyelids, but he was silently blessing the Third Master and his wife to truly open their hearts and be honest with each other.
Next to the dining table.
After the food got cold, the rich aroma seemed to transform into a fishy and greasy smell that could not be wiped off, assaulting the nose all the time, as if asking people to vomit out the little bit of food they had swallowed with great difficulty.
Qi Hanmu had no idea that just trying Huhu would cause such a big reaction.
The first thought that popped into my mind was the self-deprecating humor that the elderly love.
It's useless.
However, self-mockery is one thing, but when you really face such a thing, you will be filled with helplessness. Some people with strong self-esteem will feel their scalps tingling and worry about their future lives.
After all, if we live without dignity, what is the difference between humans and animals?
After vomiting out a mouthful of sour water with great effort, Qi Hanmu's breathing became a little unstable. If he hadn't used his right elbow to press down on the nanmu table, he would have fallen to the ground.
Just as the black mist was about to sway before his eyes and another gust of black mist was approaching, a pair of soft hands came from behind and gently embraced him.
When the girl approached him, the first thing Qi Hanmu smelled was the scent of osmanthus and citrus.
Most people neither like nor hate this kind of thing, but Qi Hanmu found that he belonged to a special category.
He has a special liking for this taste.
In the basement that Xia Yiqing had never been to, Qi Hanmu bought all the similar perfumes available on the market and stockpiled them there, including many brands that had not yet been made public.
When he couldn't hold on any longer, he would unlock the door with his key, go in, sit there for an afternoon, or lean against the wall for an entire night.
The location of that basement is extremely hidden. No one knows about it except Butler Qi and Qi Hanmu himself, and no one has ever been there.
When he smelled the fragrance, Qi Hanmu froze completely.
It's like a penniless person who feels alone and frustrated when his family needs money. It's also like having finished his bottle of water and then encountering a dry and dying tree in the desert, and can only shed tears in sadness.
Why would Xia Yiqing come back?
Didn’t you ask the housekeeper to take her upstairs?
The moment she hugged Qi Hanmu, Xia Yiqing frowned imperceptibly. The smell of medicine on this person was too strong, and it was not much different from the smell she smelled in the hospital. It was mostly found in people with long-term illnesses or the elderly.
And...there is not much flesh on Qi Hanmu's shoulder, it seems to be all bones. Not only does it feel uncomfortable to hug him, but it also makes people feel depressed.
"Why didn't you tell me how uncomfortable you were?"
Xia Yiqing slowly released her grip on Qi Hanmu's shoulders and felt the man's back muscles become stiff. She stroked the man's back again and again, neither too light nor too heavy.
The movement was not too light, but it made Qi Hanmu feel as if a feather was scratching his heart. He felt a tingling sensation unconsciously, which made him shiver.
Just as I was about to say something, a sour feeling suddenly surged up in my throat.
Qi Hanmu had no choice but to lower his head again, but unlike the embarrassment just now, this time Xia Yiqing was by his side. It seemed that the long-lost courage for life in his heart, and the calmness of exposing his illness to everyone, were restored.
Moreover, it was his beloved girl who handed it to him personally, telling him to cherish it.
"It's okay," Xia Yiqing didn't deliberately soften her voice, but her slightly deep words were reassuring.
"You just took a small bite of the porridge. Isn't that progress? Let's take it one step at a time."
Not to mention that Qi Hanmu didn't receive this kind of encouraging education when he was a child, and after he grew up, no one dared to educate him, so as soon as Xia Yiqing opened her mouth, he knew that no matter how unreasonable she said, he couldn't resist.
His throat rolled, and his eyes, which were always calm and composed, quickly glanced at the girl's cheek. Qi Hanmu's hands hanging under the table unconsciously clenched and then loosened.
"Yeah." He finally agreed to the girl's words.
Seeing that Qi Hanmu's lips were still as pale as before, but he looked energetic, Xia Yiqing suggested, "Do you think you're in a good condition now, should you go upstairs and rest, or come with me for a walk outside?"
It has been raining all day today. I heard that a typhoon has landed. A corner of Jiangcheng was swept by the typhoon, and strong winds and heavy rain followed. But it seems that the sky will clear up after every rain. After the evening, the heavy rain stopped after a long time.
On her way from Xia's house to Yiyuan, Xia Yiqing passed by a school, and the children had just finished school.
Some were held hands by their parents and walked numbly in the crowd, while many others went home with their classmates. The older children had serious faces and stopped the younger ones from fighting, telling them to be careful.
At that time, the sun was setting and golden light enveloped the children. Xia Yiqing held her chin and looked out from the Maybach, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up.
It seems that with this group of people who live seriously, the world has some hope again.
Now, the sound of rain could no longer be heard outside, so Xia Yiqing dared to pass on some of this hope to Mr. Qi Sanye at the top of the pyramid.
The girl's eyes were too serious, filled with light that seemed about to overflow, sparkling brightly in the dark night.
Qi Hanmu's Adam's apple rolled, and his dark eyes locked onto the girl's eyes. "Follow you, outside."
He was tired of lying in bed endlessly, until his shoulders ached and his lower back ached.
Hearing the sound of rain outside, I tilted my head slightly and watched the raindrops slowly falling on the window. The tinkling sound seemed to isolate this bedroom from the world.
This feeling is okay during the day, but if it happens in the evening, it will make people feel boundless loneliness, as if they have been abandoned by the world, thrown into the whirlpool of life, stirred, and sucked deeper.
Xia Yiqing looked at the man's long bangs and his particularly clever eyes, and she couldn't suppress the urge to touch the top of his head.
Qi Hanmu was born with fair skin, which was very different from his hair color. The extreme black and white combined to create a gloomy feeling.
But when Qi Hanmu slightly pulled his legs inward, brought his knees almost together, placed his hands on his legs, tilted his head back and stared at her, he looked particularly well-behaved.
It's a bit like a child waiting for his parents to come home. Of course, to be more precise, it's like a puppy waiting by the door for his owner to come home.
In particular, Xia Yiqing discovered that those eyes were a little wet.
This feeling was simply irresistible. Xia Yiqing swallowed her saliva, took a step back, and handed a cup of warm water to Qi Hanmu - Butler Qi happened to appear and placed it next to them.
After simply rinsing his mouth, Qi Hanmu's gaze returned from the cup to Xia Yiqing's face.
"Can I go out with you?"
The almost pleading look, the black and white eyes, the hands gently pulling at the sleeves, as if a little uneasy, all these struck at Xia Yiqing's already low level of defense against him.
In fact, Qi Hanmu was frantically suppressing the acid that was closing up. His stomach felt uncomfortable, and he couldn't help but put one hand there. He didn't dare to use too much force, nor could he use too little force.
"Let's go," Xia Yiqing bent down slightly like a knight inviting a princess, and stretched out her hand to Qi Hanmu, palm facing up.
"My Third Master."
Xia Yiqing deliberately spoke the first two words very softly. Because she was improvising, her tongue was almost clumsy and she stumbled several times before she could utter a phrase.
The slightly cool hand fell into Xia Yiqing's palm. It was porcelain white, not heavy, and its texture looked a bit like white marble.
Two hands held together, one hot and one cold, one small and one big, holding each other, it feels like eternity.
When their skin touched, Qi Hanmu's fingertips shrank unconsciously as if they were electrocuted.
Does he really have the qualifications?
Qi Hanmu had been in a high position for a long time, so he naturally understood that even if some people were trapped by their families, they would definitely be able to achieve great success in the future because of their character and ability.
But there was only Xia Yiqing whom he couldn't see through.
Just like the ancient fortune tellers who were unable to predict their own fate, Qi Hanmu was actually a little happy when he found that he could not see through Xia Yiqing.
Does this mean that there is a connection between the two?
But when he saw the dark circles under Xia Yiqing's eyes, and saw her yawning from time to time, and tears flowing from the corners of her eyes, Qi Hanmu was secretly happy that he could see this side of her, but his heart was also aching.
If it weren't for the fact that she had to accompany him after get off work, Xia Yiqing wouldn't be so tired.
Xia Yiqing, who was being held by the beauty's jade-like knuckles, was frantically thinking about the topic at this moment. She suddenly had an idea and seized the fleeting inspiration.
"Yesterday, you seemed to ask me why I went back to the second bedroom?"
After saying this, Xia Yiqing clearly felt that the knuckles of the person holding her hand were a little stiff, like the joints of a puppet that could not be bent.
Having said the wrong thing, Xia Yiqing bit her lip and was about to make amends when she heard a man's magnetic voice flowing past her ears.
"That's because... I'm selfish. I'm afraid you don't want to see me, and I also... miss you a little bit." Qi Hanmu's tone was inexplicably drawn out. It was unclear whether it was because he was embarrassed. However, his pronunciation was quite accurate, so Xia Yiqing didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, she paid more attention to the content of his words.
"I don't know if you hate me for not going back to the master bedroom. I'm really sorry. If my words offend you, you can bring it up."
In this way, I will never ask you for anything again.
Unexpectedly, Xia Yiqing just squeezed his hand.
"You...really want me to go back to the master bedroom so much?"
In fact, Xia Yiqing also understood. After she smelled the strong smell of medicine from Qi Hanmu just now, she was also hesitant in her heart.
After all, Qi Hanmu is a patient, and he has been ill for a long time. Not only is he very sensitive, but even an unintentional word could make him sad.
After all, I made an agreement with Qi Hanmu to give it a try together. The two of us were honest with each other and faced the future storms together.
Then, returning to the master bedroom should be a more important step.
While Xia Yiqing was thinking, she didn't notice that her palms were sweating. When Qi Hanmu noticed it, he was a little dazed. When he heard the girl's words, he even couldn't believe his ears.
So, when Xia Yiqing was anxiously waiting for Qi Hanmu's reply, she heard Qi Hanmu's murmur among the silver osmanthus trees on the mountain.
"Qingqing, what did you just say? Say it again."
The night wind blew gently, carrying the fragrance of the silver osmanthus tree to Xia Yiqing's nose, and then a ripple was created in her heart, forming a circular shape and spreading out from the center.
In the night, everything seems to become unknown.
