In his deep sleep, Ah Che seemed to have something on his mind. His sharp eyebrows were tightly knitted together. Xu Hehe lightly kissed him, feeling that his heart was in unbearable pain.
She and Ah Che were already in a tight knot. Putting aside all the craziness and other people aside, it still didn’t scratch the surface of the difficulties between them.
Although the wound was scabbed, once it was torn open, it would still bleed. No one would be able to bear the consequences.
Ah Che... It wasn't that she didn't love him, but she mustn’t. Yet she was so attached to him.
Suddenly, a strong arm wrapped around her waist, forcefully pulling her into his embrace. Qi Che's lazy voice murmured in her ear. “What are you thinking about again?”
Hehe immediately burst into laughter. Before she could answer, he touched her cheek, now looking concerned. “Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
He was so gentle and tender, Xu Hehe felt like her heart was melting. Ah Che, why do you always make people unable to leave you?
“I'm a doctor myself. There's no need for me to go to the hospital.”
“That’s right! You're a doctor now.” Qi Che's eyes darkened. He gently held her hand and probed further. “Back then, you didn't even dare to enter the laboratory. Now, you've actually become a surgeon?”
Xu Hehe's heart tightened. She lowered her head and spoke quietly. “Perhaps my environment has changed me.” Ah Che, how could she not understand that you were going around investigating the things that had happened in the past five years?
Qi Che's voice was slightly cold when he did not get the answer he wanted. “Did the environment change you or did he change you?” His tone could not help but be sour.
Hehe pulled out of his embrace and walked barefoot to the rattan chair on the balcony. She sat, hugging her knees with both hands and lowering her head.
In the end, he still cared about her betrayal. Perhaps there was no man who wouldn't care, but she didn't want to explain. At this point, there was no way to change things. Even if they deliberately didn't mention it, nothing could hide the huge gap between them. They were so close to each other, but might soon be separated forever.
Qi Che's lips curled into a cold smile as he stood behind Hehe. The sky slowly turned white as a fish's belly. A ray of dawn cast a faint halo around her body, so weak that it seemed like it would disappear at any moment.
The pain that had been his constant torment for the past five years was slowly filling his heart. “I'm still waiting for your explanation.” That was his final demand.
The sound of footsteps was drowned out by the thick carpet. Hehe heard the crisp sound of the door closing and hurriedly turned her head, thinking that he had left, but finding him stood behind her. At this moment, she almost couldn't control himself as she threw himself into his arms and cried loudly.
“It's still too early. Sleep a little longer.” Qi Che bent down and carried her back to the bed without any explanation before turning around.
“Ah Che...” Xu Hehe hurriedly grabbed Qi Che's hand. Seeing his cold eyes however, her joy faded instantly. The words she had almost blurted out, asking him to stay, were changed to “I'll move out tomorrow.”
“Don't even think about it.” He flung her hand away heavily. Qi Che's thin lips were pursed into a line. He glanced at her coldly and turned away to close the door.
The next morning, Xu Hehe was running late. Du Jue drove up to the main entrance, waiting there to block her path.
“Miss Xu, I will be taking you to the hospital today.”
“Thank you!” He Feifan would definitely scold her for being late. She hurried to get in, relieved at her luck. She was immediately face to face with Qi Che, who was lounging in the backseat, his deep eyes staring at her intently.
Xu Hehe was shocked. She didn't expect Ah Che to be in the car. Du Jue's words were clearly misleading her.
The first watch is on the door. There will be another one later!
