Tao Bao held a hot water bottle to his stomach and drank brown sugar water. His stomach felt much better now, at least he wasn't so uncomfortable that he couldn't even sit still.
"You looked like a ghost just now." Si Yuanqi glanced at her face and commented.
"..." Tao Bao touched his face. Is it that obvious? Thinking of something, he said, "I'd better go to the tea room. Someone will be here soon..."
"Sit down."
"Aren't you afraid that Qin Yue will see it?"
"She doesn't work at the TV station."
Tao Bao didn't say anything. Could it be that he came to see her on purpose?
She didn't ask, fearing she would get a positive answer. How should she respond then?
But even so, I can't admit it...
What kind of thing is it to stay in the same room with your ex-boyfriend and lock the door?
Tao Bao knew that he didn't hate this, he even longed for it.
Si Yuanqi was the best person to her besides her grandmother. Some feelings were hard to forget even if they were separated.
Not to mention that Si Yuanqi broke up with her to protect her...
"I was on a business trip some time ago." Si Yuanqi's low voice broke the silence.
"Oh, it's very good." Tao Bao replied.
Si Yuanqi turned to look at her, his expression indescribable.
“…What are you looking at?”
"It's too obvious to be perfunctory."
"So what do you want me to say?"
"I don't think you can say anything nice."
"..." Tao Bao's face was dark, and he couldn't say anything nice. "Why don't you let me go!" My stomach feels better now. I'll sit on the sofa and stay here for a while. It should be okay to rest. It would be even better if we were alone. "Aren't you leaving?"
"I just said that."
"...What did you say?" Tao Bao thought for a while but didn't understand.
"Just got back from a business trip."
"..."Are you resting here?
Tao Bao looked at Si Yuanqi's profile and saw that he did look tired. So, did he just come back from a business trip and come here without any rest?
Tao Bao's expression was slightly moved, but he said nothing more.
After drinking the brown sugar water, he sat there holding the hot water bottle without moving.
He wouldn't leave, nor would he let her go.
I don’t know when I can leave…
Maybe she didn't want to leave in her heart...
Tao Bao curled up on the sofa, gradually feeling sleepy, and just closed his eyes, trying to wake himself up.
Si Yuanqi turned around and saw that her head was tilted and her body leaned slightly forward, with her shoulder just a few centimeters below Tao Bao's head.
A few minutes later, Tao Bao's head rested on his shoulder.
Si Yuanqi didn't move and just stayed with her quietly.
Tao Bao didn't sleep very soundly and felt as if he was leaning against a strange place.
She opened her eyes and raised her head, just as Si Yuanqi lowered his head.
Tao Bao's face rubbed against Si Yuanqi's thin lips.
"..." Tao Bao's heartbeat suddenly started to race and his body became stiff.
Si Yuanqi's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at Tao Bao with a knowing and gentle look.
The faces were so close, the lips so intimate, the air felt thin.
Tao Bao only felt his face getting hot. As long as he moved closer, the four lips would stick together. It was a piece of cake...
When Si Yuanqi lowered his lips to kiss her on the lips, Tao Bao's heart beat faster and her brain was deprived of oxygen to the point of fainting.
However, the fear in her heart made her panic. Less than a millimeter away, Tao Bao turned her face slightly, took a step back, and stood up, "I'm going out..."
"Baoer..." Si Yuanqi stood up and called her.
Tao Bao's body stiffened for a moment, and he stood there without looking back. His hand was still tightly holding the hot water bag given to him by Si Yuanqi, as if he was restraining something.
Si Yuanqi stepped forward, hugged her from behind, and whispered in her ear, "Are you afraid of me?"
Tao Bao's expression was slightly dazed. She wasn't afraid of him, but of Si Minghan. She was afraid that Qin Yue would hate her. She was afraid of too many things...
"Why are you afraid of me?" Si Yuanqi asked.
Tao Bao restrained herself and pushed him away. "I'm not afraid of you, I just think... it's not right for us to do this. You and I have broken up. We have no relationship anymore. You are now... Sister Qin Yue's boyfriend."
Si Yuanqi walked up to Tao Bao, looked down at her, and asked, "What if I'm not her boyfriend? What would you do if I weren't her boyfriend?"
Tao Bao stared at him blankly, his eyes flashing with surprise, entanglement, avoidance and other emotions, and then he lowered his head, "Please don't ask me such questions. Whether we break up or not, it's impossible for us to... break up!"
After saying that, she turned and ran.
"Baoer!"
Tao Bao pretended not to hear Si Yuanqi calling her, opened the door and rushed out.
But I didn't expect someone to come over and bump into me with his body——
"Ah!" Tao Bao hadn't seen the person clearly yet, but she felt that the person she bumped into was very strong and her head was dizzy. When she looked up and wanted to say "sorry", her expression suddenly froze.
He took a few steps back in panic.
Si Minghan suddenly appeared in front of him, looking intimidating without even getting angry.
His tall and straight figure carried a powerful aura, and his dark eyes stared at the frightened Tao Bao, whose eyes were red because she wanted to cry.
When Si Yuanqi chased out from the dressing room, Si Minghan understood what was going on. His aura suddenly changed, becoming so oppressive that it was suffocating.
He withdrew his black eyes and looked at Tao Bao coldly. His voice was dangerous and terrifying. "Are you sad?"
Tao Bao never expected that Si Minghan would appear. She deliberately did not go back to avoid him, but he actually showed up at the TV station.
His face, which had finally become rosy, now turned pale again, and his body was trembling slightly.
Si Yuanqi called him with a blank expression, his eyes sharp, "Brother. What do you want to ask?"
"This is a matter between her and me. You'd better not get involved." When Si Minghan said this, his black eyes were always looking at Tao Bao, like a black hole that wanted to swallow her up.
"It's about me."
Si Minghan looked at Si Yuanqi sinisterly and coldly.
Tao Bao quickly responded, "Si Yuanqi, this has nothing to do with you! Stop being so sentimental!"
Si Yuanqi frowned and looked at her.
Tao Bao looked at Si Minghan and said anxiously, "I came here to look for Sister Qin Yue, and I just happened to run into her...ah!"
Before she could finish her words, her wrist was pulled away with such force that it seemed as if her wrist was crushed!
She was dragged in front of Si Minghan and bumped into his strong body.
The hot water bottle in her hand also fell off and lay on the ground, ignored.
Si Yuanqi's expression suddenly changed, and just as he was about to step forward, he was stopped by two of Si Minghan's bodyguards.
Si Minghan's sinister gaze focused only on Tao Bao's panicked face. "Don't you have too many coincidences? Huh?"
Tao Bao felt a pain in his stomach, his head drooped weakly, and his body trembled.
"Brother! Are you going too far?" Si Yuanqi asked coldly.
Si Minghan stared at Tao Bao with his dark eyes, "What do you think I should do with disobedient people?"
How could Tao Bao answer him? Her stomach hurt so much that she couldn't even stand up. She just squatted down and said, "Hmm..."
