Chapter 293: I Didn't Return One Night
"Why are you standing here and not going in?" Qi Mo raised his eyebrows, and a trace of doubt crossed his eyes.
She had just bought millet porridge and vegetarian fried vegetables, but when she came back, she happened to see someone standing at the door.
"Huh?" Li Shanghan suddenly came back to his senses, his eyebrows moved slightly, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times unconsciously, and there was a hint of bitterness in his cold voice, "I just went to smoke, and I will go in again at this station." ”
"That's right. Qi Mo nodded suspiciously, ready to push the door in.
But when I turned my eyes, I happened to see Xu Chengyan in the room peeling apples for Qiu Lan, and the two were still chatting with laughter.
Suddenly, Qi Mo's eyes glanced left and right, her heart suddenly tightened, and the expression on her face instantly froze, but she quickly adjusted her mood and walked in as if nothing happened.
"Xiaolan, you're awake. ”
"The end. Qiu Lan raised her eyes, her gaze instantly moved to her, her lips pursed slightly, and the worry in her eyes was a little less, "I'm relieved to see you." ”
"You, you're worried about what I'm doing, but you're yourself, which scared me a lot. Qi Mo walked to the side of the hospital bed and put down the things in his hand, held her hand tightly, and frowned slightly, "Do you know, we went door to door to look for you last night and searched all night." ”
"Okay, okay, don't you think I'm okay?" Qiu Lan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, patted her hand gently, and her face was still a little pale.
"I'm glad you're okay, or I'd die of sadness. Qi Mo pursed his red lips and said softly, "Okay, you definitely won't be able to eat on that reed lake, I bought you millet porridge and vegetarian fried vegetables, eat some." ”
"Okay. Qiu Lan smiled sweetly, and coquettishly coquetted with her like a child, "It's still my family who knows me best, yesterday I laboriously caught a snake in that small boat and ate a little, and now my stomach is empty again." ”
"It turns out that the snake on the boat was caught and eaten by you?" Xu Chengyan opened his lips slightly, and a touch of shock crossed his eyes, "At that time, we thought you were bitten by a snake, Doctor Qiu, you are really powerful, comparable to Bei Ye." ”
At this moment, the ward was full of laughter, and the seriousness and nervousness when Qiu Lan disappeared had long disappeared without a trace, but Li Shanghan, who was standing at the door, still had a dark and calm face and a solemn expression.
Qi Mo, who was beside the bedside, lifted the lid of the millet porridge, and a faint fragrance wafted out, Qiu Lan swallowed her saliva and drank it with satisfaction.
The warm feeling instantly entered her heart, and a wave of warmth surged up, sweeping away the loneliness and coldness of last night.
"This is the first time I know that millet porridge can be so delicious. ”
After speaking, she took another sip of satisfaction, and Qi Mo and Xu Chengyan, who were standing on the side, looked at her, and the corners of their lips were invariably hooked.
A bowl full of millet porridge quickly bottomed out, Qiu Lan put down the bowl in her hand and wiped the stains on the side of her mouth.
Suddenly, out of the corner of her eye, she saw the person at the door, her eyebrows furrowed, and she asked suspiciously, "That's Lawyer Li, why didn't he come in?"
"Oh, he said he just smoked a cigarette and stood outside for a while. Qi Mo shrugged his shoulders and repeated his words as they were.
"Is that so?" Qiu Lan pursed her lips and glanced at the person at the door again, her eyes flashing slightly.
Li Shanghan, who was at the door of the ward, suddenly heard his name mentioned inside, lowered his eyes and took a deep breath, pushed the door and walked in, silent.
"Li, Mr. Li, what about Wei Chi?" Qiu Lan looked at his expression a little strange, and couldn't help asking.
"He had to leave beforehand. Li Shanghan answered her concisely, his face was like frost, his emotions did not have a trace of waves, and his voice was cold.
"Oh, oh. Qiu Lan felt the chill he emanated, lowered her eyes and nodded.
As the minutes ticked by, the sun slowly set in the blue sky, hugging the lute at one end of the horizon.
Qiu Lan in the ward fell asleep groggily, and when she woke up, all the liquids had been infused, and the three people next to her waited for her for a long time, and then several people left together in Li Shanghan's car.
After returning to the city, he first drove Qi Mo and Xu Chengyan back, and then returned to Clear Water Bay.
Downstairs in the community, he gently stepped on the brakes.
"Why are you parked here?" Qiu Lan frowned slightly, and glanced sideways at the person beside her suspiciously, "Don't you stop in the underground parking garage?"
"There are still cases to be handled in the office, I still have to go over, you go upstairs first. Li Shang flicked his thin lips coldly, and there was a piece of ice hidden in his voice.
Listening to his words, Qiu Lan nodded and responded softly, "Okay, then I'll go up first." ”
With that, she opened the car door and walked down.
Standing by the car door, she suddenly remembered something, knocked on the car window, Li Shanghan indifferently pressed the button at hand, and the window slowly fell.
"How?"
"Well, I just want to say thank you again, and then, be careful on the road. Qiu Lan pursed her lips and instructed two words, her eyes hiding a hint of concern.
But Li Shanghan, whose face was like frost, saw the scene of her and Xu Chengyan in the reed lake and the ward in his mind, and he just listened to her words.
He misunderstood, and his heart was still mixed with vinegar, so he didn't feel the concern in Qiu Lan's words at all.
"I see. Li Shanghan responded indifferently, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.
Qiu Lan, who was standing at the gate of the community, silently looked at his back as he left, her lips pursed slightly.
Back at the Clear Water Bay apartment, the enthusiastic big golden retriever seemed to have not seen her for a long time, and instantly pounced, rubbing at her feet, and kept muttering in her mouth, even the beautiful short cat biscuits, who usually don't like to be coquettish, walked over with cat steps and meowed softly in front of her.
"Cookies, cookies, it's good to see you. Qiu Lan squatted down and gently stroked the two little ones in her arms, with a little tears of excitement in the corners of her eyes.
After whispering to reassure them, Qiu Lan put food in the food bowl and added small snacks.
The starry night was hazy, and the sky outside was getting darker, Qiu Lan took a comfortable bath, changed into clean clothes, and finally lay down on the soft bed and fell asleep.
A good night's sleep.
The next morning, the warm daylight lifted the thin clouds, and a corner of the tall building was quietly revealed.
Qiu Lan in the bedroom moved her long eyelashes, slowly opened her eyes, looked at the paintings on the wall, and felt very stable.
She got up and opened the curtains, looking at the beauty outside, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a shallow smile.
After a few minutes of silence, Qiu Lan turned around and left the bedroom, ready to wash up and eat breakfast, but suddenly saw that the door of Li Shanghan's room was empty, and the bed inside was neatly made, and there was no trace of him coming back.
Qiu Lan pursed her lips and walked to the door, the pair of men's slippers were still sitting by the shoe cabinet, and the position did not move at all.
Did he really not come back last night?
