Chapter 580 You Are Not Trouble, You Are Happiness (Part 2)
"What do you mean?" Xi Jiu frowned.
Old Davis took the wet towel from the servant, wiped his hands, and explained slowly, "Miss Qi Sha's future does have a glimmer of hope, but that hope doesn't lie with her. I can only sense the existence of that hope, but I can't find its location."
For Ruan Qi now, that glimmer of hope is the antidote that can turn danger into safety.
The antidote is now in someone else's possession, and Ruan Qi must find that person. Only then can she have a chance to resolve the dire omen and survive.
But now, Old Davis could only sense the existence of vitality, but he couldn't find out in whom it belonged.
After hearing this explanation, Xi Jiu's expression became even more serious.
He looked down at Ruan Qi, grabbed her hand and held it in his palm, and asked Old Davis: "How can we find the person who is attached to the life force?"
Old Davis shook his head apologetically. "I'm sorry, with my abilities, I can't find that person. I only know that the person possessed by the vitality has a deep connection with Miss Qi Sha. This person must have come into contact with Miss Qi Sha in the past, and the entanglement is very deep. As for the others..."
Old Davis paused, frowned, and thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "Actually, I sensed some other information during divination, but I'm not sure if it's related to the impending crisis."
Xi Jiu: "What's the message?"
"They are... rather depressing and closed-off images." Old Davis looked at Ruan Qi and asked gently, "Miss Qi Sha, forgive me for being so presumptuous, but I'd like to ask if you have any psychological problems?"
Xi Jiu's face suddenly darkened.
Ruan Qi didn't expect that old Davis would ask such a question. She was stunned for a moment, and after she reacted, she nodded calmly.
"Yes. Some bad things happened to me in the past, and I have had serious psychological problems over the years. Does this have anything to do with the future crisis?"
"I'm not entirely sure." Old Davis shook his head. "I simply sensed your inner closure and repression while capturing your vitality. Miss Qi Sha, you understand medicine, and you should also know that human potential isn't infinite. The human mind is like a box. If it's filled with too much negativity, it's bound to explode sooner or later."
"I don't know why I could sense your inner thoughts while capturing your vitality. But I feel that this is destiny guiding you, and your inner voice calling out for help."
"Miss Qi Sha, you need to vent your inner feelings. Keeping yourself too closed will only lead to your own destruction. You Chinese have a saying, 'You must face death before you can be reborn.' Fate is cruel, but there will always be someone who can create a miracle."
"Ms. Qisha, you have a fiancé who loves you and a family who loves you. Why don't you try to take a step towards them? Regardless of whether you will die in the end, at least you are close to each other while you are alive."
Old Davis' voice was very gentle, with the vicissitudes and tolerance unique to a seventy-year-old man, and every word struck Ruan Qi's heart.
Ruan Qi listened silently, her thick eyelashes casting shadows under her eyes, blocking the turbulent emotions in her eyes.
Seeing her silence, Old Davis sighed deeply and said, "Actually, before I met Miss Qi Sha, my Jennifer had already prepared herself for death at any moment. She was so seriously ill that at her weakest point, she lay in bed for three months, relying only on nutrient solution to stay alive."
"For those three months, I left all the work to my son and stayed by Jennifer's side every day. She loves cleanliness and doesn't like body odor. But she couldn't get up at the time, not even to take care of her period. So every day I helped her wipe her body, wash her hair, and carry her to the bathroom."
"Jennifer thought it was too much trouble for me and wanted a caregiver to do it. But I told her that I didn't find it annoying at all. On the contrary, it was a blessing to be able to take care of her and go through the most difficult times with her."
Ruan Qi's eyelashes suddenly trembled twice.
Old Davis looked at her with a smile. "So, Miss Qi Sha, you don't have to feel like you're a bother. Those who truly love you will only feel sorry for you, not hate you. Perhaps they're just waiting for you to take this step and rely on them."
"Being able to be relied upon by someone you love is actually a kind of happiness." He smiled and looked at Xi Jiu, "Mr. Xi, what do you think?"
Xi Jiu: "Yes."
He lowered his eyes, looked at the silent Ruan Qi, and said in a deep voice: "I won't feel annoyed, I will only be happy. It will never be a burden."
Ruan Qi's left hand on her knee suddenly curled up.
But the next second, a big hand wrapped around her curled up little fist, holding it firmly in the palm of its hand with a protective and inclusive gesture.
Old Davis looked at the scene gently, with a relieved smile on his face.
"It's getting late. Miss Qisha and Mr. Xi, why don't you stay for dinner before leaving?"
Ruan Qi quickly shook her head and wanted to refuse.
But Old Davis interrupted her, "Jennifer must have prepared dinner for you two long ago. If you don't stay, I'll have to sleep in the basement again tonight. Miss Qisha, for the sake of my old body, please give me some face."
As he spoke, he rubbed his waist, indicating that sleeping in the basement was really miserable.
The old man has performed to this extent, what else can Ruan Qi say?
Of course I'd stay.
…
The old couple and the young couple had a warm and sumptuous dinner together at Davis Manor.
After dinner, Ruan Qi didn't bother Xi Jiu any more and drove away with him back to the Eagle Tribe.
On the way back to Eagle Division, neither of them spoke.
After the driver parked the car outside the Eagle Department building, Xi Jiu carried Ruan Qi out of the car and carried her all the way from the gate to the suite.
The door of the suite was shut heavily, and the room was dark without any lights on.
Ruan Qi was about to ask Xi Jiu to put her down, but Xi Jiu groped in the dark and carried her all the way into the bedroom.
He placed her on the low cabinet against the bedroom wall.
Ruan Qi didn't know what he was going to do, and opened her mouth to ask, but the word "Jiujiu" was blocked by a hot and somewhat uncontrollable kiss as soon as it reached her lips.
Xi Jiu is not acting normal tonight.
Perhaps he had been frightened too much during the day, and his emotions were a little out of control. His forbearance on the car ride back wasn't due to calmness, but rather the deliberate suppression before a volcanic eruption.
At this moment, the man who had been patient all the way finally exploded.
The sound of cloth tearing was heard in the darkness, and the life of the knitted dress that had been worn only once came to an end.
Xi Jiu's movements were somewhat hasty. He picked up Ruan Qi uncontrollably, and his scorching eyes in the darkness seemed to want to swallow her into his stomach.
Ruan Qi didn't even have a chance to breathe before he was dragged into the raging waves.
The light in the bedroom was not on that night.
The rain outside the window fell all night and didn't stop until dawn.
