Chapter Seventy-Seven: Can't You Really Fall in Love with Me?
Xiyue couldn't bear to leave Qi He alone in the hospital, so he kept guarding him in the hospital, but Qi He didn't want her to stay here, which would make him very uncomfortable: "Go back, I'm fine, I'll be fine in two days."
Yuzuki ignored his words and was engrossed in peeling apples with her head down.
Qi He had to tighten his tone a little harder, "There will be someone to take care of here, what will you think of Gu Jincheng here?" and I really don't need your care."
As soon as Xiyue's hand slipped, the sharp knife cut a small hole in her hand at once, and blood came out, but she didn't feel the pain, but she didn't control her tears, she looked at Qi He with tears in her eyes, and said, "Do you really want me to be with him?"
Xiyue never cried before, but now her eyes seem to have been opened, and her tears can't stop flowing down.
Qi He turned his head to see her injured hand, and hurriedly rang the bell next to the bed, and within a few minutes, the nurse came in to check on the situation and did a simple bandaging for her. Seeing Xiyue's sad appearance, he had to soften his tone and said, "He likes you very much, and he will give you happiness."
"Then I love you so much, I will also give you happiness, and I will love you well for the rest of my life, why don't you stay with me?"
Qi He was speechless.
"Can't answer, right?", the more Xiyue thought about it, the more aggrieved she became, and her tears became even more unassuming, and she kept flowing down, Qi He saw this, and felt pain somewhere in her heart, so she had to sit up hard, plucked up the courage to hold her, and gently patted her back with her hand to comfort, "Don't cry, your eyes won't look good if you cry and swell."
Xiyue left his embrace, and said affectionately, cowardly, and in a longing tone: "Qi He, can't you really fall in love with me?
Qi He's eyes dodged, and at the moment he felt that it was inappropriate to look anywhere, he avoided Xiyue's direct gaze, and stammered, "I... I don't know", he wanted to say no, no, no, but in the end he didn't know.
Yuzuki gradually smiled, wiped away her tears and continued to peel apples, an answer that was enough to satisfy her, because it meant that there was still hope between them.
And what she didn't know was that all this was heard clearly by Gu Jincheng who was outside the ward, and after he saw the relevant news on the Internet, he quickly found someone to find out the hospital where they were, and rushed to see if she was okay, but he didn't expect to hear all this.
He found a quiet corner and called Xiyue to come out, he wanted to ask if she was really only Qi He in this life, he couldn't deceive himself, and neither could Xiyue.
"Why are you here?"
"I rushed here when I heard the news, are you okay?", Gu Jincheng's face was gloomy, he couldn't see the joy, anger and sorrow, and expressed the deepest concern in a flat tone.
"I'm fine, it was Qi He who saved me, fortunately he's fine", she couldn't see her own expression when Xiyue said this, but Gu Jincheng could see it clearly, she mentioned Qi He's affection, worry, sincerity, joy... All this was enough to make his mood drop to the ice cellar.
"I'll send you back, Qi He will be taken care of, let's go, let's go back", Gu Jincheng pulled her and was about to walk towards the elevator.
"No, I can't", she wriggled her body and struggled, trying her best to break free from Gu Jincheng's pull.
Gu Jincheng felt that he could no longer maintain his apparent calm and decency, and roared in a low voice, "Xiyue, you have to be him, don't you?" You know that he will not fall in love with you at all, he only has Lu Shuyue in his heart, even if Lu Shuyue is dead, there is still a place for her, why do you want to practice yourself like this?"
Gu Jincheng's words pierced her heart, and every sentence was inserted as quickly and accurately as a nail, but she was willing to bear everything, she was like an ignorant moth at the moment, and like an arrogant peacock, saying: "He still likes me, he will care about me, even if he doesn't love it, it's okay to like it, it's enough to like it."
Gu Jincheng really hated her for not being afraid of hurt or pain, and asked, "Even if Lu Shuyue suddenly appears one day, and he chooses Lu Shuyue without hesitation, do you have to be willing? Even if the second Lu Shuyue appears one day, he still won't choose you, are you willing?" Even if you are always his second choice, don't you mind?"
Without a hint of hesitation, Xiyue nodded firmly. "Gu Jincheng, thank you for liking me, but please don't like me anymore from now on, I can't change it for the rest of my life if I decide it, no matter what the outcome is, I should bear it, and I'm willing to do it."
"Okay", Gu Jincheng was already completely disappointed in her, since she was willing, let her go, why should he be wishful thinking again? He turned around and left without looking back, he didn't want to chase this one-person game anymore, the people in front of him were not afraid of death and rushed forward, it was pointless to chase down, just let go and fulfill her, this is the final ending.
After that, Xiyue went directly back to the ward, and saw that Qi He had already slept, and she carefully leaned on his other uninjured shoulder, so warm and thick, she hadn't felt this way for a long, long time, like leaning on a marshmallow, but it was fulfilling and reassuring.
Qi He didn't actually fall asleep, he just closed his eyes to recuperate, after feeling the weight of the setting moon, he didn't even dare to breathe, he tried his best to hold his breath so that the setting moon didn't notice, so let her lean on, listening to her calm breathing, he thought of the setting moon just now and asked him with tears in his eyes, "Can't you fall in love with me?", so humble, the real desire in his eyes, extremely affectionate, he was deeply shocked, can he fall in love? He really didn't know, he only knew that now he cared about her very much, cared about her very much, was afraid that she would be hurt, and wanted to protect her, but could he love her? Can he accompany her to grow old together, this is a picture that he can't imagine anyway, because this picture has been occupied by Lu Shuyue, so profound that it is difficult to forget.
Xiyue pushed all the work, and her work partner also understood her, after all, she had experienced such a terrible thing, and also said that she could give her time to buffer. She has been taking care of Qi He in the hospital, when a guest comes to visit, she will pretend that something is going out early, and she will come in after the guest leaves, she tries to avoid disturbing his social circle, she just wants to be around him. A week later, Qi He was fully recovered and discharged from the hospital.
His family threw him a small welcome party, and his relatives and friends were present, and Yuzuki didn't know how to face his family, and left early after going through the discharge procedures for Qi He. Qi He didn't see the setting moon at the party, and he was a little disappointed.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Xiyue was about to wash up after changing clothes, and when she searched for clothes, she found that Qi He's ID card was in her pocket, which she got in her hand when she was discharged from the hospital, and she forgot to give it to Qi He when she put it in her bag. She thought that the party should be over at this moment, so she planned to drive to the outskirts of the city, and planned to give it to him personally, saying that it was too late and that it was too soon, and that she was already driving on the way to the outskirts of the city before she could figure it out.
"Young master, madam...... , Oh no, Miss Yuzuki is outside, saying that she has something for you", Qi He was washing up and planning to rest, and the maid said this.
"Call her in, and I'll go downstairs at once."
"She said she won't come in, just leave for you."
At this time, it was a little cold outside, Qi He casually took a coat in the wardrobe and put it on and went out, he watched from a distance as Xiyue was wearing only a short-sleeved dress, pacing back and forth with his hands on his chest.
Seeing Qi He come out, Xiyue was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Congratulations on being discharged from the hospital, this is your ID card, I forgot to return it to you, now the thing is returned to the original owner, hurry back to the house, I'm leaving." After saying that, he made a bow gesture and turned around to leave.
"Don't go", Qi He tugged at her wrist, and she could clearly feel the temperature of his palm.
