31 Chapter 31
Chi Qingtai was a little annoyed and quickened the pace of his feet. He didn't expect that he would let Xie Shu hug him at that time, and even hugged him at the back of the venue for so long...... Although it was nice to hug, he hated being so self-controlled.
"Wait." Behind him, Xie Shuxian chased after him and grabbed his wrist.
"What's the matter?" Chi Qingtai raised his eyes, his eyes were cold.
"Don't move." Xie Shuyan held his cheek with one hand, and his breath fell.
Chi Qingtai's body stiffened for a moment: "What are you doing?" โ
Xie Shuyi: "You have lipstick on your forehead, I'll wipe it off for you." โ
"How can I get lipstick on my forehead......" Chi Qingtai subconsciously retorted, and halfway through his words, the scene behind the baffle suddenly appeared in his mind, and he paused for a moment.
"I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention." Xie Shuyun took out a wet tissue and gently wiped the marks on his forehead for him, "There won't be traces left next time." โ
Chi Qingtai: "......"
Don't talk as if there will be a next time!
Although Chi Qingtai was refuting on his lips, somehow, he was looking forward to the next hug in his heart. It was even better than he had imagined, being hugged hard in the cool air, exchanging each other's body temperature through thin clothes, it was his most comfortable moment, as if even his soul was relaxed.
Chi Qingtai suddenly remembered the point of view in a psychotherapy book, after learning that he had psychological problems, he taught himself many related theories, including a psychotherapist who believed that people need at least four hugs in a day to survive, eight hugs to be healthy, and twelve hugs to achieve better development.
Twelve Hugs......
This is also too extravagant, he has not had so many hugs in the past ten years combined.
Chi Qingtai retracted his gaze and decided not to look at Xie Shuyun as the culprit. And the so-called theory of mind is just the words of one family.
At the end of the comic exhibition, Chi Qingtai also completed the ninth item of the exercise: hugging people other than Xie Shuyun.
Most of the hugs are from strangers who come to take photos of the philately, and some of the brave ones will ask if they can hug them after taking the photos.
Chi Qingtai was very unaccustomed to it at first, but later found that these two-dimensional elements were very measured, so he just let go of his hand after a polite hug.
Subsequently, Chi Qingtai practiced the first nine items in a scrambled order, and it was almost no longer nauseous or anxiety-inducing.
He was surprised to find that he seemed to have really cured his phobia of physical contact!
But the good times didn't last long, and then Chi Qingtai found that he had become a little abnormal. He began to pay special attention to Xie Shuyan's every move, and the thought of longing for a hug was popping up in every gap.
Living under the same roof, Xie Shuyun quickly noticed his gaze, and once or twice he could explain that it was an accident, and the third time Xie Shuyun walked over directly: "Have something to tell me?" โ
The distance was too close, Xie Shuxian only wore a pair of swimming trunks, and as soon as Chi Qingtai looked up, he saw a large number of pectoral muscles, and the beautifully shaped abdominal muscles entered the abdomen along the mermaid line, and the place below was slightly bulging......
It looks like a hug.
Wait, why is he thinking about this?!
Chi Qingtai looked away as if he was being burned, and he swore not long ago that he would not hug him next time
Hold, how long has it been? ()

Xie Shu was stunned for a moment, and quickly returned to normal: "Isn't there room for negotiation?" โ
Chi Qingtai said no: "I have recovered now, and there is no reason to continue to live." โ
"Then I'll let Xie Bianchi follow you," Xie Shu said in a calm tone, "The last order on the dark web hasn't been resolved, and there are still people in the dark who are not good for you." โ
"Don't bother him," Chi Qingtai shook his head, "I can hire my own bodyguards." โ
This is to completely dissociate himself from him, Xie Shu took a deep breath, trying to control his gaffe: "Then are you still coming on the weekend?" โ
"Come on." Chi Qingtai nodded, he paid attention to the contract, since he had promised Xie Shuyun at the beginning, he would not regret it halfway.
"As for item tenth," he paused, raising his eyes to look at Xie Shuyan, "please give me a little more time." โ
He wanted to think it out for himself, and then tell Xie Shuyun in person.
Over the weekend, Ji Qingtai moved back to his apartment.
He thought that after staying away from Xie Shuyan, he would no longer crave to ask for a hug. Unexpectedly, his mind was full of each other's chests, and he couldn't even sleep well at night.
It wasn't until Friday evening that Chi Qingtai came home from work, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had parked the car downstairs in Xie Shuyi.
Chi Qingtai: "......"
Is he so impatient?
Ji Qingtai boarded the elevator and entered the password into the room.
Xie Shuyun hadn't gotten off work yet, the living room was empty, Chi Qingtai sat on the sofa for a while, and decided to go swimming in the pool.
He has a good water nature, he can swim in four swimming styles, and he can hold his breath to play free diving, Xie Shu's pool is big and clean, and he has lost some time for a while.
When Xie Shuyun came back, he saw a pair of men's leather shoes neatly placed at the door.
He changed his shoes and entered the house, but he didn't see Chi Qingtai in the common area, thinking that the other party had returned to the room, so he didn't look for it again, went to the gym to do a few sets of strength training, and then changed into swimming trunks and went to the pool.
In the process of living together, Ji Qingtai has never used the pool, this has always been his world, and he has always thought that Ji Qingtai can't swim. This time, however, he came in and found a pair of slippers on the shore.
The pool was calm and waveless, Xie Shu frowned, his sharp eyes swept around the pool, and finally found the "drowning" Chi Qingtai at the bottom of the pool, and the latter didn't even vomit bubbles!
โ๏ผ๏ผโ
Xie Shuyan's heart shrank suddenly, and he jumped without hesitation-
He dived to the bottom of the pool in one go, helping Chi Qingtai out of the water, almost eagerly slapping his cheek.
"Chi Qingtai, wake up!"
Waiting for no one to answer, he planned to take someone ashore for artificial respiration, and as soon as his arm passed under the other party's armpit, the person in his arms woke up leisurely and asked with some curiosity: "What's wrong?" โ
Xie Shu was stunned: "Are you okay?" โ
"It's okay," Ji Qingtai took off his swimming goggles and explained, "I'm practicing holding my breath." โ
Xie Shu's heart went up and down, but he didn't expect to get this answer in the end. He took a deep breath and sank his face at Chi Qingtai for the first time: "In the future, you are not allowed to practice holding your breath by yourself, you will be suffocated!" โ
Chi Qingtai let out an "oh",
() Bow your head and say, "I'm sorry." โ
Xie Shuyun also realized that he had overreacted a little just now.
“? [()]?ใ Come[]*See the latest chapter*Full chapter'(),
Okay, you can swim on your own. โ
Chi Qingtai raised his hand and hugged him, their bodies were wet, and they were next to each other almost without any gaps.
Xie Shu lowered his eyes: "What do you do?" โ
"It hurts," Chi Qingtai frowned, "my leg seems to be cramping." โ
"Go ashore and have a look."
Xie Shuyun held his arm and brought the person to the shore, the touch of the palm was a little rough, and Xie Shuyun realized that there was a large scar on Chi Qingtai's arm.
Chi Qingtai's body was as beautiful as a piece of white jade, but there was a large hideous scar crawling on his arm.
It was from the knife wound, and there were more serious marks than the knife wound, as if a piece of flesh had been torn off the arm, and after the flesh grew, it left a series of terrible marks.
Xie Shu's eyes darkened, and a surge of anger suddenly welled up in his heart. Children growing up in a normal family will not have this kind of scar, what did Chi Qingtai experience?
"Xie Shuyi," Chi Qingtai didn't seem to notice his anger, and some of them were not very skilled at hanging on him, and they had to drill into his arms, "I can't go up." โ
Xie Shu took a deep breath and let himself take his attention away from his scar, and then responded, "Then you stand up first." โ
Chi Qingtai said: "The pool is too deep, I can't stand it." โ
Xie Shu glanced at Chi Qingtai, then let go of his waist and plunged into the bottom of the pool.
Before Chi Qingtai realized what was happening, Xie Shuyun had already grasped his "cramping" foot and kneaded it lightly and heavily.
After more than a minute, Xie Shuyun surfaced and asked, "Does it still hurt?" โ
"It doesn't hurt," Chi Qingtai finished speaking, and reached out to hug his shoulder again: "But I don't have the strength anymore." โ
This excuse is too clumsy, and Chi Qingtai is a little weak after saying it. However, Xie Shuyun just lowered his eyes and glanced at him, and said, "Then I'll carry you up." โ
The man's strong, powerful arms gripped his waist and sent him out of the water with ease. Chi Qingtai sat on the shore and watched Xie Shuyun go ashore with one hand on the edge of the pool.
He thought that Xie Shuyun was going to carry him, or pick him up by the waist, but unexpectedly, the man's arm passed through his waist, moved down three inches, and held his buttocks.
Chi Qingtai: "? โ
"Thank you, ...... you"
Before he finished speaking, Xie Shuyun used his arms to lift him off the ground in a posture of an adult holding a child.
What kind of social death posture is this!
At this moment, he opened his legs in the face of Xie Shulazi, his crotch was close to the other party's lower abdomen, and the thin swimming trunks couldn't cover anything at all, clearly transmitting every vibration of his body.
Chi Qingtai's ears burned instantly: "Xie Shuyun, you let me go!" โ
The latter pressed his other hand on his back, and said meaninglessly: "Lack of strength? Isn't it hard to do now? โ
Chi Qingtai: "......"
Chi Qingtai was like a deflated balloon, and it fell down in an instant.
He stiffened for two seconds, then secretly reached out and hugged Xie Shuyan. The moment the skin touched, he almost let out a sigh.
On the plus side, it's at least a genuine deal
() of the hug.
Xie Shulai hugged Chi Qingtai all the way from the pool to the second floor, and when Chi Qingtai stepped on the carpet in the bedroom, his whole face was already red and dripping blood.
Xie Shuyi turned around and left, so fast that he almost ran away.
โฆโฆ
The next morning, Chi Qingtai went to see a psychiatrist, and the first thing he said when he entered the door was: "Doctor Meng, I have done a bad thing." โ
"Bad things?"
Meng Shu smiled, "But why do I think you're in a good mood?" โ
Chi Qingtai: ". โ
"What's bad?" Meng Shu asked again, "Can you talk to me?" โ
Chi Qingtai was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "I take advantage of others' trust and concern for me to satisfy my selfish desires by some dishonorable means. โ
Meng Shu: "It does sound bad, so in the process, has anyone been hurt?" โ
Chi Qingtai thought about it, and for a while he didn't know how to answer, and he wasn't sure if Xie Shuyan was hurt.
Meng Shu: "Are you afraid that you will become a bad person?" โ
Chi Qingtai didn't answer and asked, "Won't Dr. Meng blame me?" โ
"It's hard for me to give a specific evaluation," Meng Shu changed his posture and calmly analyzed for him, "because in my opinion, you didn't become like this voluntarily." Are there any questions that are bothering you right now? โ
"Indeed," Chi Qingtai said after a moment of silence, a little troubled, "my phobia of physical contact is better, but I seem to have gone from one extreme to the other, and I am starting to change
Gotta crave to hug people. โ
"Don't be too nervous, it's human instinct to crave hugs," Meng Shu said calmly, "The process of skin-to-skin contact produces oxytocin, which can make people feel safe and happy." โ
Oxytocin?
Chi Qingtai was stunned for a moment and didn't speak again for a while.
"You just said," Meng Shu asked again, "You have a phobia of physical contact, can you tell me the specific situation?" โ
Ji Qingtai told her about his situation and hugged her briefly.
Meng Shu let go of him and smiled heartily: "It can be seen that you have made great progress recently. โ
"There are also your efforts, thank you Dr. Meng," Chi Qingtai nodded, and said, "I have been busy with work recently, and I plan to suspend psychotherapy for a while." โ
Meng Shu: "But your problem hasn't been solved yet, right?" โ
Chi Qingtai froze for a moment, then raised his head and smiled gently: "Doctor Meng, the purpose of my original visit to you was to treat physical contact phobia. And now I do, don't I? โ
After saying that, he picked up his coat and turned away, deciding to suspend the psychotherapy.
And he did.
He can already have normal contact with people, and he no longer feels fear and anxiety.
Ji Qingtai set his eyes on the paper of the anxiety level.
As long as he completes the tenth item, he will be able to make a full recovery.
Chi Qingtai drove back to Xie Shuyi's apartment and decided to tell Xie Shuyun about the tenth item today. It's not a big deal, these things have to be said.
When waiting for the red light, a text message came in from the mobile phone, and Chi Qingtai glanced down.
Meng Shu: [I hate to tell you, but you're just making a fake recovery now. Psychotherapy is a cyclical process, avoiding the inability to solve it, and pretending that recovery is only a delay
Space. Problems have already occurred, problems will always be there, and all we can do is face them. ใ
[Maybe the first person in your heart is not me, but even so, I hope you can have a good chat with that person.] ใ
Chi Qingtai pressed the lock screen button and did not reply.
When he returned home, Xie Shulaan was not there, and the message to him was that the condition of the patient in the hospital had suddenly deteriorated and he needed surgery.
The message was already three hours ago.
Chi Qingtai: [When will you come back?] ใ
Xie Shuyun has not answered, it should be that he has not been out of the operating room yet. Chi Qingtai waited at home for an hour and drove to the hospital a little anxiously.
Somehow, he felt compelled to say the tenth item today, and if he missed it today, he would probably never mention it again.
As soon as he entered Xie Shuyi's office, the latter pushed the door in, and he hadn't even taken off the surgical gown on his body.
"Why did you come to the hospital?" Xie Shuyi walked into the office with some surprise, "Looking for me in a hurry?" โ
Ji Qingtai opened his mouth and couldn't answer.
Xie Shurong closed the door of the office, took a mug and handed it over with a cup of warm water: "You sit down first, I'll change my clothes." โ
He had a cubicle in his office with a small wardrobe and single bed, and he occasionally slept here during his night shift.
Xie Shuyun didn't close the door when he changed clothes, and as soon as Chi Qingtai looked up, he saw that his left hand was grabbing the collar of the surgical gown, and gently pulled it from the top of his head, his back muscles surged upward, and his arm muscles burst out with beautiful lines.
Xie Shuyun had an almost perfect body, and with his eyes closed, Chi Qingtai could even remember the feel of these muscles.
He lowered his eyes and drank from his glass of water to distract himself.
When he raised his head again, Xie Shuyun had already changed his clothes and came out. The man sat down beside him and asked, "You are anxious today, what happened?" โ
Chi Qingtai also knew that he was not in the right state.
As the treatment progressed, he felt that he was getting worse and worse, sensitive, suspicious, and even made several low-level mistakes.
The psychiatrist advised him to speak out, and Ji Qingtai also knew that this was the best solution.
He turned a blind eye and pretended to be healed. He naively thought that as long as he became better and better, he could get out of the shadow of the past.
But no matter how far he has gone and how mature and calm he has become, there is still a part of him who has been left forever on the day of the incident.
The real problem is far from being solved.
Still there forever waiting for him.
Eleven-year-old Chi Qingtai is still locked up in that room, unable to find a way out.
Chi Qingtai clenched the water glass, his hands unconsciously tightened.
After a long time, he raised his head and said, "I have come today to confess the tenth item to you." โ
"Buzzโbuzzโ"
Almost at the same time, the phone he kept in his pocket rang suddenly.
Chi Qingtai looked at the mobile phone vibrating for a long time, and then drew the answer button: "Qingqian, what's the matter?" โ
"Brother, the lab has been burglarized!" Chi Qingqian's voice trembled a little, "The lock was picked, and the glass ...... The glass was shattered, and a lot of equipment was stolen......"
"Don't worry, you speak slowly," Chi Qingtai reassured her, "Are you okay?" โ
Chi Qingqian was stunned for a moment, and then he shook
Head: "I'm fine,
I was just scared. I'm not in the lab today,
Just come over and get a copy of the documents, and there are bodyguards you arranged with you. โ
"That's good," Chi Qingtai told her, "you find a safe place to stay first, and then come out when the police arrive." This happened too suddenly, I don't worry about wanting to go to my mother's side first, can you wait for the police to come by yourself? โ
"It's okay," Chi Qingqian tried to suppress the tremor in his voice, "I don't know what's going on, you can go see your mother first." โ
Chi Qingtai hung up the phone, put down the water cup and stood up: "I'm sorry, something happened at home, I'll talk about the treatment later." โ
Xie Shuyan picked up his coat: "I'll go with you." โ
Chi Qingtai didn't refuse, he glanced at Xie Shuyi gratefully, and asked, "Can you go to the laboratory first?" My sister was alone over there. I want to go to my mom's hospital. โ
Xie Shuyun took out his mobile phone: "I'll let Xie Bianchi go to the laboratory, and I'll accompany you to the hospital." โ
Ji Qingtai did not refuse.
On the way to the hospital, he called the bodyguard, Aunt Lin and the nurse successively, but no one answered. Along the way, Chi Qingtai's face became more and more heavy, and then he called the hospital nurses' station, and a nurse answered the phone and said that she would help him go and have a look.
"Thank you."
Chi Qingtai hung up the phone and clenched the mobile phone in his hand.
Xie Shu glanced up, stepped on the accelerator and overtook two cars, and finally passed the traffic light in the last two seconds.
Until they arrived at the hospital, Chi Qingtai did not receive a feedback call from the nurse.
Xie Shuxiang comforted him: "The nurses' station is very busy in the afternoon, maybe they haven't had time to see it yet." โ
Chi Qingtai had a bad premonition in his heart, and the car rushed down without looking back as soon as he arrived at the hospital.
He ran to the door of the ward in one go, and happened to see a nurse pushing the door at the door: "Why did you lock the door?" Who did it, in broad daylight, where is the key......"
She turned around and was about to go to the nurse's station to get the key, when she saw Chi Qingtai behind her.
"Mr. Chi," the nurse was a little surprised, "why are you here?" โ
Chi Qingtai walked past him with a calm face and kicked open the closed door.
Nurse: "......!! โ
She was about to say that the door of the hospital should not be kicked indiscriminately, but she found that there was an extra stretcher cart in the ward, and a man dressed as a doctor wearing a mask was carrying the unconscious Zhuo Stop onto the cart.
Professionalism made her instantly realize that something was wrong: "Hey, which department are you a doctor in?" Don't you know if this patient can't be carried? โ
The other party raised his head vigilantly, and before he could act, Chi Qingtai had already rushed over and grabbed the man's wrist.
The latter quickly made a few moves with him, and when he saw that the matter was revealed, he quickly turned around and ran towards the door, but ran into Xie Shuyan, who was blocking the door.
The man quickly ran over again, opened the window and jumped in.
Nurse: "!! โ
"This is the third floor!!"
Chi Qingtai rushed to the window to see that the man had landed on the lawn and limped out.
Chi Qingtai wanted to chase, but Zhuo Zhu was still in a coma, and when he hesitated, Xie Shuyun had already climbed onto the windowsill, as if he wanted to jump down.
"Xie Shuxian!" Chi Qingtai grabbed him, and his heart was about to jump out, "What are you doing?" โ
Xie Shuyan: "You're not chasing him?" โ
"That's not your way of chasing," Chi Qingtai pulled the person back, his pale face full of fear, "What are you dancing with?" Don't you want to die?! โ
Xie Shu glanced at him lazily, and had to run down the stairs to chase people. The other party seems to have responded, and has long disappeared into the confines of the hospital.
Chi Qingtai called the police and waited at the door of the ward for the police to come.
Xie Shuyun explained to him: "I have played parkour and learned how to land safely, and I will be fine." โ
Chi Qingtai glared at him: "You still dare to mention it?" โ
Xie Shuyi silently shut up.
Chi Qingtai set his eyes on Zhuo Zhu on the bed, and couldn't stop being afraid for a while. Fortunately, he arrived just in time, if he had been a few minutes late, maybe he wouldn't have been here.
It didn't take long for Chi Qingqian to call and tell him that the police had arrived at the lab. They counted the equipment in the lab and found that only a few instruments were missing, but fortunately the experimental data was intact.
"It's good that people are fine," Chi Qingtai nodded, "Mom also had some accidents here, but fortunately, people are fine." I'm still waiting for the doctor to examine her, and I'll come to you when it's over. โ
"It's okay," Chi Qingqian sniffed and shook his head, "You are busy first, my colleague is here here, and I will come to the hospital after the police investigation." โ
Chi Qingtai: "It's okay, you come over for a checkup." โ
It didn't take long for the doctor to finish the examination of Zhuo Zhu, and there was nothing wrong with the person, but he fainted after inhaling an overdose of โกโก.
Subsequently, the police came to the hospital to investigate and found the unconscious bodyguard in the utility room, Lin sister-in-law and the nurse thought that the other party was on duty, one was sleeping at home, and the other was playing with the child in the amusement park.
Chi Qingtai's face sank after listening.
It's so well prepared, it's all about being prepared.
The real purpose of attacking the laboratory to attract his attention was actually to take away his mother from the hospital.
Fortunately, Chi Qingtai was vigilant and came over in time to take a look.
Then the police left, and Chi Qing ordered the ward guards to be strengthened, and he sat on the sofa in the ward and waited for Zhuo to wake up.
"Are you alright?" Xie Shuyun came in from outside and handed him a bottle of water.
Chi Qingtai took it, and it turned out to be a bottle of orange juice.
Xie Shuyi: "You're too tired today, add a little sugar." โ
Chi Qingtai unscrewed the cap of the bottle and drank most of it in one go, as if he had finally made up his mind.
After a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke: "Xie Shuyun, my tenth item is a cat." โ
"Cats?" Xie Shu was stunned.
Chi Qingtai nodded, tightened the cap of the bottle and said, "My tenth item is to raise a cat." โ
Xie Shu's pupils contracted for a moment.
Regarding Chi Qingtai's heart knot, he has made many speculations, maybe he was bullied by his classmates when he was too well-behaved when he was a child, or he was molested because he was too beautiful.
But I didn't expect it to be related to a cat.
He looked at Chi Qingtai and was aroused with a strong curiosity: "Why cats?" โ๏ผ
