Chapter 68 Hug Him
Qi Yanxue buried his head quietly in the crook of her neck, his eyelashes as long as butterfly feathers brushing lightly against her collarbone.
He said sullenly, "It's okay, let me lean on you for a while."
Let him recharge.
The pleasant scent of white tea on the girl was like a ray of light in the dark and damp life, which eased his gloomy and uneasy heart.
It's like a scarce sweet treat in a miserable life.
Noticing that he was in a bad mood, Zhu Wendong stopped resisting and simply put all his strength on him.
The whole person is closely attached to him.
The safety passage was so quiet that one could hear the two people's steady breathing beside each other's ears, and the violent heartbeats in their chests resonated with each other.
Zhu Wendong placed his hands on his chest, which was the only space left for them to breathe.
She stared aimlessly into the darkness, her gaze distracted. His warm breath on her neck felt warm, and her blinking eyelashes made her feel a little itchy.
She couldn't help but lean to the side.
"Don't move."
Qi Yanxue's hoarse and low voice came from his neck, as if he was trying hard to endure something.
Zhu Wendong paused.
Before she could say anything, Qi Yanxue suddenly said, "Does the compensation you promised me before still count?"
Zhu Wendong didn't say anything for a while, searching his mind for the word "compensation" he mentioned.
After a long time, he remembered that he might be talking about the last time when she bit him after drinking and lost her memory, and promised to compensate him.
Zhu Wendong blinked and said calmly, "It counts."
There were footsteps outside the passage, but no one knew and no one noticed the two people leaning on each other in the dark.
Qi Yanxue rubbed his head against her neck and spoke in a dejected yet pleading tone.
"Hug me, Chuchu."
Zhu Wendong's eyelashes trembled, and an indescribable emotion flashed in his eyes.
Then, without any hesitation or distraction, she moved her hand from her chest to his waist and hugged him.
Two hot and strong hearts are tightly pressed together, fitting perfectly.
The warm and soft embrace was like a fluttering deer, causing ripples in his heart.
Qi Yanxue smelled the familiar white tea fragrance on her body, the corners of his lips curled up slightly in the dark, and a smile appeared in his cold and sharp phoenix eyes.
It was worth it for him to stay in that shabby place for two days.
Zhu Wendong rested his chin on his shoulder. Although he didn't know what had happened, it was rare to see Qi Yanxue in such a depressed mood.
Since he didn't want to talk, she didn't ask.
However, Zhu Wendong said in a muffled voice: "How long do you want to hold me?"
Qi Yanxue's expression relaxed, and he joked, "Until the 29th day of February."
“…”
Zhu Wendong loosened his grip and tried to move away from him, but he pushed her back again.
Qi Yanxue placed his hand on the back of her head: "Hold me for five more minutes."
Zhu Wendong compromised and stood still again, like a sculpture. Suddenly, he thought of the blind date that day.
Qi Yanxue's voice happened to be heard.
"Three days left."
Qi Yanxue didn't give her a chance to speak, and continued slowly, "I'm flying to Jinghai tonight and will be back in three days. Give me an answer then."
-
Since that day, Zhu Wendong cut off contact with him again. They didn't meet or exchange messages.
He went to Jinghai, just like she went to California five years ago and disappeared.
Even when she was free these past two days helping to walk the dog, Qi Yanxue didn't ask her for photos again.
Zhu Wendong was absent-minded and a little upset, and kept thinking about marrying him.
Fortunately, the next day was Wen Lu's chemotherapy day, and half of her heart was also taken away.
Zhu Wendong helped Wen Lu, who had just finished chemotherapy, back to the ward.
Wen Lu was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, her brows tightly furrowed, and her hands bit by bit grabbing the bed sheet.
At this time, she still remembered to ask, "How are you getting along with your blind date?"
"..." Zhu Wendong also admired her persistence. He tucked the quilt for her and said helplessly.
"You should get some rest. I'll tell you if there's anything."
Wen Lu glanced at her weakly, suddenly coughed twice, and began to stir up trouble: "My only wish before I die is to see you get married. Do you want me to die with regrets on my way to the underworld?"
Zhu Wendong said expressionlessly, "The doctor just told me that the cancer cells haven't spread far enough. Two more treatments will show improvement. I'll try to help you fulfill your wish before you turn eighty."
"..." Wen Lu simply covered her face with the quilt, out of sight, out of mind: "Go away, I need to rest."
Zhu Wendong mercilessly pulled down her quilt: "It's easy to suffocate yourself if you cover your head with the quilt."
Zhu Shouwen happened to walk into the ward, and since there was nothing for her to do, Zhu Wendong went back to Biesong.
Ms. Wen Lu's condition has improved, the adaptation manuscript has been completed, and the new book has been serialized for more than half.
Being free again, Zhu Wendong couldn't control his restlessness anymore, so he simply took Donggua downstairs for a walk.
Just when he was halfway through his walk, an aunt suddenly came up, squatted down and touched Donggua's head.
"Hey, isn't this winter melon? Did A Yan find a mistress for you?"
I guess Qi Yanxue often walks her dog in the community, so it's normal that someone recognized her.
Zhu Wendong stood aside without saying a word.
The aunt suddenly looked at her and smiled with satisfaction, "She is indeed the one that Ayan has been waiting for for five years. The girl is very pretty."
How could it be possible that Qi Yanxue waited for her for five years?
Zhu Wendong waved his hands and denied, "Auntie, you might have made a mistake. It shouldn't be me."
Although the aunt had just returned from a trip abroad and had not yet met A-Yan, with her excellent eyesight, there was no way she was wrong.
"Little girl, do you live on the twenty-third floor of building three?"
Zhu Wendong nodded.
Auntie said with a determined expression: "That's you."
-
Zhu Wendong returned home, took a shower, and after waking himself up a little, he sat on the sofa and began to think about those words in his mind.
——Ayan originally lived in Biesong just to wait for a girl, and he even bought a house next to her on purpose. He waited for five years. And as you know, Biesong was still an old community five years ago. It was he who paid for the renovation of Biesong!
When her biological father bought this house for her, it was indeed registered in her name.
So the only thing she owns in the whole Jiangbei is this house.
It is also the only thing she left in Jiangbei in the past five years.
And Qi Yanxue guarded her for five years.
Zhu Wendong got excited and countless possibilities flashed through his mind, but it seemed that some important details were missing.
She casually put on a long down jacket, picked up her car keys and walked out the door.
She sent a message to Zhu Jianyi as she walked downstairs.
Dong: [Do you know where Lu Guanqi is now? ]
Zhu Jianyi: [In the Imperial Capital...right next to me...]
Zhu Wendong put away his phone, and Cullinan drove all the way to the Royal City Club, found their regular private room, and pushed open the door.
He came in front of Lu Guanqi, took a breath, and then spoke.
"I want to know everything about Qi Yanxue in the past five years."
