Oxygen +31
Xu Liang still wanted to resist, relying on the fact that he was in this body, he used all his strength to push against the door.
Unfortunately, the result was not as expected, Qi Yu's strength was no match for hers.
After a moment of hesitation, Xu Liang simply gave up struggling, spreading his hands nonchalantly, his face calm, "When did I ever hide from you? Mr. Qi, I've been so tired today, isn't it okay for me to go to bed early?"
It seems that he is the one who is wrong.
But I was nervous and secretly prayed that he would not mention what happened in the box.
But Qi Yu's mouth seemed to be equipped with a locator, and he mentioned it accurately.
In other words, he came here just because of what happened at that time.
"Without taking up Mr. Xu's time for too long, I just want to ask, Mr. Xu, if I can't call you Xiaoliang?"
Hearing this, Xu Liang's breathing hitched, and he felt even more nervous inside, but he didn't dare to reveal even a little bit, and still pretended to be calm.
She tried to speak in the most relaxed tone, but her voice trembled at the end: "Of course, everyone calls me Xiaojing, you can call me whatever you want."
After saying this, she wanted to bite off her tongue——
The last sentence was a complete failure, the tremor was too obvious, and she even saw the person opposite her laughing at her.
Xu Liang felt that Qi Yu had never smiled as much in his life as he did tonight. He raised his lips, and his passion was revealed in her expression: "Really? Then why are you blushing?"
Holding on to his unyielding spirit, Xu Liang supported his waist with one hand and remained stubborn, "I'm not embarrassed. It doesn't matter anyway. This is your body, and you're just like that. A little movement will do the trick."
After she finished speaking, even she wanted to laugh, she was almost talking incoherently.
It was all Qi Yu’s fault because his brain and mouth couldn’t keep up with her consciousness at all!
Before Qi Yu could speak again, she brought up the last time they 'kissed' to prove her 'frankness': "We have known each other for so many years, you can call me whatever you want. Look, we tried to kiss each other last time, but it was a failure. It's nothing."
After finally uttering the last word, Xu Liang regretted it even more. He felt that the more he spoke, the weirder it became, and the more he explained, the worse it became. It felt like he was making things worse by trying to cover them up.
Qi Yu stared at her for a while, as if thinking about something.
A thin layer of sweat formed on Xu Liang's back, and his legs couldn't help but tremble slightly. His free hand tightly gripped the edge of the door, pressing most of his body weight against it.
The two eyes were still looking at Qi Yu forcefully, and he would never give in easily.
The corners of the man opposite him curved even deeper, without any concealment at all. He slowly lifted up his two slender, pale arms and placed them across his chest.
His tone was relaxed, with a hint of teasing: "So Mr. Xu thinks all this is nothing? Xiaojing?"
Hearing this, Xu Liang's heart almost jumped out of his throat. Every muscle in his body was exerting force, and his eyes felt sore from holding his breath.
The hand around her waist brushed across her forehead lightly, pretending to be relaxed. Her voice was still trembling: "Of course, you can scream if you want..."
Xu Liang felt like he was about to cry.
The man's gaze was still as hot as fire, burning her more and more intensely.
He stared at her for a long time, as if confirming something. He wanted to speak, but held it back.
Finally, he just nodded at her: "Okay, I understand."
He patted her shoulder again: "Go to bed early."
"Xiaojing."
Xu Liang locked the door and ran back to the bathroom. His previous toughness disappeared and some tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
After finally breathing a sigh of relief, she sniffed hard, but when she looked up again, she really wanted to cry—
The face in the mirror looked like a bright red apple in late autumn, or more like one that had just been swum in boiling water.
Not only the cheeks, the blood red spread to the entire neck and behind the ears.
No wonder my face is so hot!
Was that how she managed to stay calm in front of Qi Yu just now?!
Then this face is completely lost.
He refused to look at the reflection in the mirror, and even turned on the cold water. He stood under the shower, covering his face, letting the coldness soak through his body from head to toe.
It's so embarrassing.
She was so embarrassed in front of Qi Yu!
…
An hour later, Xu Liang changed into his pajamas and buried his head in the quilt.
The room was dark, and she had turned off the lights long ago.
With a last bit of embarrassment, she closed her eyes and kept comforting herself: It doesn't matter, Qi Yu didn't say anything, she just pretended nothing happened.
It's just a name without any meaning, just get used to it.
Even if tonight was a peaceful night, hadn't she also outshined him in the meeting room?
They just happened to be even.
Xu Jing 'hypnotized' himself in this way, and his body was very tired after experiencing what happened tonight.
But a few minutes were enough for her to fall asleep.
This time she didn't sleep well.
The thought of Qi Yu in my mind passed, and the old things buried deep in my heart were recalled again.
The dream was a blur. Xu Liang suddenly heard the harsh sound of tires rubbing against the ground, followed by the sound of heavy metal objects rubbing against the ground. Passersby around him exclaimed, some in urgent voices, while others were still in a daze.
There was endless white in front of him. Xu Liang tried desperately to open his eyes to see what was happening, but it was in vain.
I don’t know how long it took, but the urgent sound of the ambulance was getting closer and closer, and the crowd around seemed to disperse.
The white mist was cleared away in an instant, and Xu Liang could already see several medical staff getting in and out of the ambulance.
She followed their figures and looked -
Blood... lots of blood...
The dark grey road was stained bright red, and the air was already filled with a growing smell of blood.
Xu Liang's heart tightened and his gaze slowly shifted.
The blood was gushing out from a completely overturned car. All the medical staff were trying to pull the people out of the car. She could even hear their increasingly rapid breathing.
She wanted to go forward to help, but her body seemed to be trapped by something and she couldn't move.
Until the medical staff had pulled the people out of the car.
Xu Liang's pupils suddenly shrank, his eyes were bloodshot, and tears instantly welled up in his eyes, blurring his vision.
She yelled, "Grandma! Grandpa!"
Two familiar faces were covered in blood. They seemed to have fainted, but blood was still spurting out of their chests and abdomens.
Xu Liang wanted to struggle against the inexplicable restraints in his body, but his entire body seemed to have lost all strength.
She tried her best to move forward, but the harder she tried, the further away everything in front of her was from her.
She stood there screaming and flailing her hands, but no one could hear or see her: "Grandpa... Grandma... No... No..."
His face was covered with wetness, but Xu Liang didn't even bother to wipe away his tears and continued to struggle.
At some point, the restraint suddenly weakened, and she took the opportunity to move forward. However, after taking two steps, the vehicle suddenly exploded, and an intense and scorching heat wave splashed on her. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure.
Xu Liang suddenly opened his eyes and yelled, "No!"
Xu Liang sat up from the bed, but it was still pitch black in front of him. He could not see anything and could only hear his own hurried breathing.
She was stunned for a full minute.
Her consciousness returned belatedly, and she could gradually make out the outline of the room in the darkness.
I reached out to turn on the light, but everything in front of me was blurry.
I raised my hand to rub my eyes and felt something wet.
The sour feeling in her nose had not yet subsided, so she quickly took a few pieces of tissue and wiped the tears from her face.
After finally calming down, she was completely sleepless.
I haven't dreamed of my grandparents for a long time.
She thought she had almost forgotten the scene of that day.
When I think about it again a year later, I still feel a lingering dull pain in my heart that suppresses my breathing.
Is it because Qi Yu mentioned his grandparents?
She couldn't even tell whether it was a psychological effect that she saw Zhang Qilin in her dream.
Was my grandparents’ car accident really more than just an accident?
Is it really related to Zhang Qilin?
She suddenly picked up her phone to contact her parents, but then she realized that she was now "Qi Yu".
A deep feeling of powerlessness instantly permeated every nerve in Xu Liang, and he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
What should she do?
How should she verify it?
Should we continue to believe that this was a complete accident, or take the initiative to find out whether Zhang Qilin did it?
After this question came to mind, Xu Liang felt that he no longer needed to make a choice.
Of course she should go and find out about this.
Throughout the second half of the night, Xu Liang still couldn't fall asleep. He tossed and turned in bed, and many past events quietly emerged in his mind.
Both his grandparents studied medicine, but his grandfather studied traditional Chinese medicine while his grandmother studied Western medicine. Influenced by them, Xu Jing has been interested in medicine since he was a child.
Her grandfather taught her to identify various Chinese medicinal herbs, and her grandmother took her to see many anatomical models.
But more importantly, they gave her endless love.
Xu Liang's parents are busy with work, so Xu Liang spends most of his time with his grandparents.
She loves cakes, and her grandmother will buy them for her no matter if it is windy or rainy, and even learned how to make low-sugar cakes just for her.
She loves reading classic masterpieces, but when she was a child she couldn't recognize all the characters. Her grandfather always read to her with great patience and explained those difficult sentences to her over and over again.
Whenever she got angry, her grandparents would always find ways to make her laugh, coaxing her and calling her "Xiao Liang" over and over again until she was happy.
Not only that, the two elderly people also followed her to 'keep pace with the times'.
On their days off, the three of them would pick a good movie, buy some classic movie accessories, and discuss the film together happily after watching it.
The year Heo Kyung graduated, the two elders even accompanied a group of children on a graduation trip. They fully integrated into the group, drinking milk tea with them, taking "freedom photos", and watching the stars in the desert. They didn't spoil the fun at all.
After Xu Liang joined Tongxin, it was also the time when self-media was at its peak. The two old people took the initiative to learn how to manage accounts and spread the core concept of their Tongxin on the Internet. All the videos were shot by Xu Liang for them.
Tears filled my eyes again and fell down.
From the initial calmness to the final loss of control, Xu Liang couldn't help it at all, and the suppressed sound in his throat gradually overflowed from his mouth.
Her emotions were on the verge of collapse, and her chest was twitching more and more frequently. She tried to cover her face with the quilt to lower her voice, but it didn't work.
In the end, my nose was blocked from crying, the oxygen around me was thin, and the corners of my eyes were so sore that I could hardly open them.
She heard a noise outside the door. The doorknob was twisted several times but didn't open. She heard Qi Yu calling her, "Xu Liang? What's wrong?"
My mind tried to stop crying, but my body wouldn't obey, let alone respond to the person outside the door.
The crying sound continued from inside the door. The person outside seemed to have left, but came back soon and opened the door with the key.
When the man saw the person on the bed, his face suddenly changed.
He stepped forward and sat firmly on the edge of the bed, but Xu Liang hid under the quilt, not wanting him to see his current miserable state.
However, Qi Yu pulled her hand away and pushed the quilt aside, leaving her nowhere to hide.
He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he held her arms with both hands, forcing her to sit still, and his tone was unbelievably gentle: "Why are you crying?"
Xu Liang was still sobbing, it was a vulnerable moment. It would have been fine if he was as cold as usual, but he suddenly became gentle and accurately touched the soft spot in her heart.
Xu Liang didn't know where the idea came from. Looking at the blurry figure in front of him, he hugged the person on impulse.
She buried her head in his neck and cried even harder, words coming out of her mouth intermittently: "Grandpa... Grandma... I dreamed... I dreamed of grandpa and grandma..."
