Oxygen +30
Xu Liang stared at Qi Yu for a few seconds, then slowly lowered his gaze, noticing the hand wrapped in his palm, the slightly warm temperature passing back and forth between their skins.
It was rare that she didn't break free.
After the words lingered on his lips for a moment, Xu Liang finally spoke: "So what are you going to do?"
The element of harmony rarely appeared in the area where the two of them met. Seeing the faint smile on his lips, Xu Liang said slowly, "Let's wait for the police. If they have evidence and can catch the person behind this, that would be the best. If not, even if Yi An is not in trouble, that person will definitely not stop. We should wait for his next move and prepare for defense."
Xu Liang and Qi Yu thought of the same thing and waited for his next words.
However, there was no further news about Qi Yu.
"Let's eat." Qi Yu withdrew his hand from hers and pointed to the time on his watch. After all the trouble, it was already very late.
The food on the table also showed signs of getting cold.
However, Xu Liang was reluctant to pick up his chopsticks.
There was a faint sense of loss in my heart.
She thought Qi Yu would realize the real problem behind it and that he would have the idea of changing his mind.
The slightly sharp gaze remained on him for a long time.
The man seemed to be familiar with her eyes. He slowly put down the chopsticks he had just picked up and put on a familiar posture.
The harmony in the air quietly faded away, and no one knew when it was completely replaced by the inharmonious conflict factors.
Xu Liang gradually clenched his fists and began to prepare himself mentally.
But just as she had set up her 'shield', what Qi Yu threw out was not a 'spear'.
He seemed to fully understand her state of mind. He turned his eyes towards her slowly, but his tone was no longer as cold and arrogant as before: "I know you want Yi'an to change. Don't worry, I saw what happened tonight, and I am aware of the problem."
Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, and the defense he had built up collapsed in an instant, and his prepared fist fell on soft cotton.
This feeling—
Not good.
Qi Yu paused for a moment, then continued, "It's just that I don't have the final say in Yian. I have a board of directors above me. Besides, technology-based elderly care is our mission, and it can't be changed just by saying so."
"You can continue to promote your technological elderly care, but technological elderly care may not mean that it cannot be given equal importance to humanities. Perhaps the two are not in conflict at all." Xu Liang blurted out, his brain's reaction even slower than his mouth.
After these words were spoken, they were both stunned.
She herself didn't expect to say such a thing.
I have heard enough of Qi Yu's views these days, and now that I have been asked to talk to Director Li, I subconsciously want to refute this view.
I just didn't expect that I would refute it like this.
She was the one who used to be most dissatisfied with the use of technology in the elderly care, and she was even more of the one who believed that humanities were always superior to technology.
Their eyes suddenly met, and both of them froze there.
No one looked away, and no one was in a hurry to speak.
An inexplicable strangeness with a touch of bittersweetness surged in his heart. Xu Liang felt very strange:
Her words were so strange, Qi Yu's gaze was so strange, and the atmosphere between them was so strange.
His originally clear mind gradually became confused again. Countless thoughts gathered into a ball, winding around and running back and forth. Xu Liang no longer knew what he was thinking.
This body that didn't belong to her was slowly heating up.
The speed and frequency of the vibrations in my heart gradually increased, and my eyes could no longer hold on.
Before she completely collapsed, Qi Yu suddenly smiled.
Xu Kyung had never seen him look like this before.
No sarcasm, no ridicule, no provocation.
Just pure laughter.
Then he said, "Perhaps this is a good idea, but change takes time and requires practical consideration. Please give me some time, I will think it over carefully and then seek the board's opinion."
Xu Liang said nothing after hearing this, and secretly twisted his hands together under the table, his movements a little awkward.
Unexpectedly, she hadn't completely calmed down yet, so Qi Yu said, "Perhaps in the future, we can also cooperate."
At the end, he deliberately dragged out the last line: "Xiaojing."
“……!”
Before Xu Liang had time to digest the first few sentences, the last two very clear words suddenly rolled into his ears, extending rapidly into the ear canal, as if an invisible hand had grown out of his body and fiercely pinched the most important organ.
The hand seemed to still be scorching hot, causing the blood pumping out of the organs to gradually boil.
Xu Liang felt as if this body was instantly on fire.
Completely like its original owner.
The two intertwined hands squeezed tighter, and the whole body felt very unnatural. Xu Liang didn't dare to look away.
The air around her seemed to become thinner, and she could not breathe any oxygen at all. Her breathing could only slow down and slow down.
The reaction on her cheeks was very real, burning with the fire in her body.
Xu Liang felt that Qi Yu was still staring at her.
In order to avoid being exposed, Xu Liang stood up quickly, completely ignoring Qi Yu's words, "I'm going to the bathroom!"
Her fleeing figure disappeared from Qi Yu's sight. Qi Yu smiled suddenly and touched his hot earlobe with his fingertips awkwardly.
In the empty bathroom, Xu Liang leaned over the sink and kept using cold water to cool his body.
The words "Xiao Liang" kept echoing in my ears. These two words were like a magic spell, completely blocking out all other words.
She kept telling herself: It's just a name, just a name...
And that name came from her own mouth, so what's the big deal?
However, no matter how many handfuls of cold water were poured on me or how many psychological hints were given, it seemed to be of no use this time.
It seems that this trick can no longer fool me.
Suddenly, Xu Liang panicked.
She stopped moving her hands, still bent over the pool, watching the uninterrupted flow of water, and whispered to herself, "What do you mean by deceiving yourself? It's obviously the truth, it's just a name!"
I decided to stand up and just turned off the faucet when I was startled by the figure reflected in the mirror.
'Qi Yu' was looking at her.
I complained again: He is indeed a lingering guy!
The flame in his body did not go out, and Xu Liang slapped Qi Yu's face again as if to vent his anger.
She took a deep breath and wanted to hint herself again, but was startled by a handkerchief suddenly stretched out to her.
"Are you okay? I saw you splashing cold water on yourself just now." A gentle voice broke in.
Xu Liang exclaimed, thinking it was a stranger's concern. He was about to thank him, but when he looked closely, he saw a familiar face.
"Doctor Wu? What a coincidence, you're here too?"
The other party was obviously stunned for a moment, nodded slightly, and then asked tentatively: "Excuse me, do we know each other?"
Xu Jing only then realized that she was now 'Qi Yu' and Dr. Wu did not recognize 'him'.
She took the handkerchief, thanked him, and explained, "I know you. I'm Song Ying's friend. My name is Qi Yu. I've heard her mention you before and have seen your photo."
A hint of surprise flashed across the man's face, and a soothing smile spread across his gentle face. "Really? What a coincidence! I just happened to ask Yingying to come over for dinner today."
Hearing this, Xu Liang felt like he had found a lifeline and immediately tried to win over Wu Zhisheng: "What a coincidence? Why don't we go together? Xu Liang is here too, we can book a big private room and we can all get to know each other!"
Xu Liang knew that Wu Zhisheng had been pursuing Song Ying for a long time, and she had only met Dr. Wu when she went to the hospital to pick up Song Ying.
After getting to know each other for a while, Xu Liang learned that Dr. Wu was very perseverant. He also knew that Song Ying had an ex-boyfriend and that Song Ying had waited for him for five years, but that man never showed up.
When he expressed his feelings for the first time, he was rejected by Song Ying, but he was not discouraged.
He confessed to Song Ying that if Song Ying really couldn't forget that person, he would wait patiently. If Song Ying could finally accept him, he would love her unreservedly. If Song Ying still couldn't accept him in the end, he would be the friend who would accompany her silently.
Therefore, Wu Zhisheng would definitely not refuse the opportunity to meet Song Ying's friends.
Wu Zhisheng thought for a moment and said he would ask Song Ying's opinion first.
Xu Kyung: "I'll go with you!"
Wu Zhisheng was humble and said, "Mr. Qi, you're welcome. Just call me Wu Zhisheng or Xiao Wu."
…
Qi Yu was a little surprised to see two more people in the box, but he still stood up and greeted them.
After Song Ying introduced several people, he and Wu Zhisheng sat down opposite the two of them.
Song Ying couldn't help but tease at this familiar dinner party: "Are you two here for a date?"
Xu Liang saw her gaze rest on her face, and he quietly glared back, signaling her to stop glaring.
She almost bit her tongue as she answered, "No, it's not like that. Something happened at the retirement home tonight, so I didn't have time to do it, so I came here."
Xu Liang had originally intended to distract the two of them, but worried that Song Ying might lose control of her mouth again, he changed the subject: "What about you guys? Why are you here too?"
Song Ying calmed down a bit after mentioning this. She explained that she had asked Dr. Wu to treat Grandma Zhang's skin disease and wanted to repay him by inviting him here for dinner.
Doctor Wu poured a cup of warm water and placed it in front of Song Ying. His warm face still had a smile on it. He turned slightly to Song Ying and said, "You are too polite, but it is my honor to have dinner with you."
His voice always seems so gentle, like a clear spring in the warm spring, clear and warm, and it always makes people calm down easily when listening to it.
He had always been like this in the few times Xu Liang had met him, especially towards Song Ying.
But Song Ying had no feelings for him.
She only considered him a friend.
Xu Liang smiled when he saw Song Ying, and said "thank you" very tactfully.
Her mind suddenly recalled the figure she saw at the entrance of Yikan's alley. She subconsciously wanted to say it out loud, but suddenly stopped.
Qi Yu beside her caught her hesitant look and asked in a low voice: "Do you have something to say?"
Xu Liang was startled, looked away in panic, and shook his head.
Doctor Wu was still there, and she couldn't be sure if the person she saw was that person. What's more... if that person really came back, he shouldn't have appeared in front of Song Ying.
So she continued what Song Ying had just said: "Then can Doctor Wu tell what is happening to Grandma Zhang?"
Song Ying handed the conversation over to Doctor Wu, who nodded. "I've discussed this with the director of our department, and we both agree that this skin lesion is likely caused by some kind of irritant medication. However, we can't be sure based on the pictures alone. My suggestion is to bring the patient to our hospital for a full-body examination."
Xu Liang naturally agreed, and asked Song Ying to help her make an appointment so that she could bring Grandma Zhang over.
As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yu also interrupted: "I will go there too."
Xu Liang glanced at him, but he just stared at her and smiled leisurely.
Thinking of Dr. Wu's presence, she quickly looked away and concentrated on eating.
She didn't notice at all that Song Ying opposite her was squinting his eyes at her, and then raised his lips in understanding.
…
Back in the space where only the two of them were, Xu Liang felt uncomfortable again.
After getting off the car, she didn't want to go upstairs with Qi Yu, so she rushed forward and tried to close the elevator door before Qi Yu reached the elevator, but he still caught up with her.
After entering the house, she wanted to change her shoes quickly and go back to her room, but Qi Yu got there first. Unfortunately, this man was even slower, so she had to wait for a long time before she got her slippers.
After changing her shoes, Xu Liang strode back to her room. Just as she was about to close the door, Qi Yu had caught up with her without her knowing when, and held her door with one arm. "Why are you hiding from me?"
