Chapter 103 I'll Give You a Chance
"Why are you here?"
Kong Nanzhu and Qin Qi sat side by side in the back seat of the car, while the designated driver sat in the front and drove, glancing back in the rearview mirror from time to time.
Qin Qi leaned on the seat in an extremely awkward posture, his face was bruised, his expensive suit pants were covered with footprints and dirt from the fight, and two buttons of his shirt were torn.
In short, it was very embarrassing.
Why is he here?
After Kong Nanzhu posted on Weibo, Qin Qi knew that she was in a nightclub tonight. He was originally working overtime in the company's office to deal with the plan, but he began to feel uneasy.
He didn't want to come find her until Peng Shiyi sent him a photo of Kong Nanzhu and someone else standing in an ambiguous relationship on the dance floor. Qin Qi's nerves, which had been driven to collapse by the obscure and boring data, finally broke.
Qin Qi couldn't bear it any longer and drove over directly to kill them.
Qin Qi recounted in detail his psychological journey before coming here, emphasizing that he had no intention of coming to see her at the beginning. He was now very afraid of causing discomfort to Kong Nanzhu, fearing that he would cross the line and make her feel that her private space was invaded.
Kong Nanzhu immediately remembered who the familiar person in the box was.
Peng Shiyi’s boyfriend.
It really is haunting.
Kong Nanzhu fell into deep thought, trying to figure out what the grudge was between him and Peng Shiyi that would make her keep staring at him like this.
Seeing that Kong Nanzhu remained silent, Qin Qi thought that she was dissatisfied with his coming to her, so he hesitantly explained: "I am worried about you... I don't mean to infringe on your social freedom. I am afraid that you will be unsafe after drinking, I..."
Qin Qi's face, which had turned pale due to the pain from the injury, turned slightly red. Kong Nanzhu didn't think too much about it. Seeing him explain in a hurry, he felt quite uncomfortable.
After calming down, she felt relieved.
Fortunately, Qin Qi came, otherwise no one can guarantee how things will develop subsequently.
Kong Nanzhu didn't know what medicine Song Linyuan took wrong tonight. She was very annoyed. She was struggling with how to reject Song Linyuan's rejection and kindness. Now she might as well just block him.
"Thanks."
Qin Qi was stunned for a moment.
Kong Nanzhu was not angry and even said thank you to him?
The corners of Qin Qi's mouth rose unconsciously, and the place where he was hit suddenly no longer felt the pain. Unfortunately, when he smiled, the wound on his cheek was pulled. He took a breath of cold air and put away his smile.
"Then...won't you give me a little reward?"
Kong Nanzhu misunderstood the meaning of his words, and his thoughts wandered in an ambiguous direction.
A kiss is not a problem.
After drinking, some things that were suppressed when sober would emerge arrogantly. Having just escaped from that kind of decadent and indulgent environment, the decadent factor that was faintly aroused in Kong Nanzhu's body began to take effect.
If Qin Qi leaned forward and kissed her lips at this moment, Kong Nanzhu did not intend to dodge, but after waiting for a few seconds, she found that Qin Qi's eyes were full of pleading. He just leaned forward and lowered his head to her.
Qin Qi's hair was a little messy due to the fight just now, and the whorl on top of his head was covered up. Kong Nanzhu hesitated for two seconds, and her memories came back to her. Her body reacted faster than her brain, and before she could react, she had subconsciously reached out and patted Qin Qi on the head.
Qin Qi raised his face and lifted one eyebrow, like a soldier who had been honored, and a childlike innocent satisfaction appeared in his dark eyes.
Kong Nanzhu turned his face away and said, "You shouldn't hit him. I don't like it..."
"I remember that you don't like to solve problems with violence. I'm sorry. I will pay more attention next time."
Qin Qi took the lead in saying the second half of Kong Nanzhu's sentence. Kong Nanzhu felt a pang of fear, as if time had gone back to the deserted path she had to take after school, and back to the afternoon when Qin Qi skipped school.
Kong Nanzhu didn't say anything. He leaned over and pecked Qin Qi's lips lightly.
Qin Qi was stunned. When he looked at Kong Nanzhu again, he found that he had leaned back against the car door with his eyes closed, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.
The kiss was too brief and he didn't have time to deepen it.
Qin Qi murmured, "Are you awake now?"
Kong Nanzhu looked out the window, feeling somewhat guilty, "Not sober."
"If you say that, it means you are awake."
Qin Qi endured the pain and pressed forward, pinching Kong Nanzhu's chin, but Kong Nanzhu did not dodge.
Qin Qi had the urge to tear the person apart and eat him, but he knew that would scare the person away, so he restrained himself and asked, "Can I kiss you?"
Kong Nanzhu rolled his eyes and said, "I told you not to ask if it's okay at this time."
Qin Qi's whole body was trembling, and the pain in his wound confirmed the reality at this moment. He was not dreaming.
Because he was too excited, his kiss was chaotic. Kong Nanzhu pushed him away in pain, but did not dare to use force because of his wound.
After they separated, Kong Nanzhu's lips were bright red and swollen, with a layer of moisture on them. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.
"You're not kissing, you're biting."
There was a rusty taste in both of their mouths.
Qin Qi was punched several times in the face, and the inner wall of his mouth was scratched by his teeth in several places. It was normal to have blood foam. Qin Qi really didn't want this long-lost intimacy to be so embarrassing and so unpleasant, but he couldn't care less.
Qin Qi stared at Kong Nanzhu's lips for a long time to confirm that she was not injured. He then sucked the taste in his mouth hard and found that he had sucked blood out of the oral wound because he had used too much force.
Kong Nanzhu's mind was in a mess.
Alcohol causes trouble.
During this period, Kong Nanzhu watched Qin Qi become thinner and his bright and proud eyes became less sharp. A person's experience would be written in his eyes. The recent series of events shattered the seemingly indestructible shell of this arrogant superstar, leaving behind a Qin Qi with a worldly air.
A human Qin Qi.
It may be strange to use such words to describe a person, but for Qin Qi, it is indeed the highest praise.
This human scent made Kong Nanzhu's resolute heart waver.
She felt that what Qin Qi said about wanting to change might be true.
Maybe it was because Qin Qi had never said many sweet words to her, nor had he done anything particularly touching when they were together before, so these little gains easily shook her heart. Especially when he said in front of Shen Jun that he would only marry her and start a family, Kong Nanzhu could hardly control her heart.
What was her reaction?
Oh yes, she wanted to escape, but failed.
Ever since Qin Qi took the initiative to say that he wanted to return to the company, every step he took was beyond Kong Nanzhu's expectations. In the past, Qin Qi had only spent money to make her happy, but he actually insisted on running errands and sending her flowers every day, even when he didn't get a response.
While in the hospital, Qin Qi learned all the daily tasks of taking care of the patients. Even Shen Jun's nurse praised him as a filial and capable son.
Based on Kong Nanzhu's understanding of Qin Qi, he probably learned what children should do after their family encounters misfortunes through his understanding of the prototypes of certain movie plots, and copied them directly, so he resolutely chose to return to the family company, playing the role of a solid and reliable son in the ward, forcing himself to accomplish things beyond his ability.
But the stories in movies are all expressed in a dramatic way, and the protagonist can easily use the protagonist's halo to resolve the crisis. However, in real life, there is no miracle that can happen by just changing clothes and making up one's mind.
But he didn't complain.
Qin Qi looked at her without making any mistake, his lips trembling uncontrollably, "Why, you have to tell me, what is this for us."
Kong Nanzhu leaned his head against the car window, staring at Qin Qi silently. Qin Qi's heart was in his throat.
"Besides your ribs, where else does it hurt?"
Qin Qi was so excited that he pulled Kong Nanzhu's hand and forced her to look at him. He wanted to know clearly, "What is this about us? What does this kiss mean? You have to tell me clearly."
Kong Nanzhu looked at the two clasped hands, and slowly and gently took back Qin Qi's fingers that had been forcefully squeezed between her fingers. "I'll give you a chance. You have to behave well enough for me to accept you again. Besides, I've drunk too much tonight, and I might regret it tomorrow..."
"You can't regret it." Qin Qi shouted in a low voice, eager to hug Kong Nanzhu in his arms, but when he raised his hand, he moved the wound again, causing him to grimace in pain.
"You can't go back on your word. You have to keep your word." After a burst of pain, Qin Qi's forehead was covered with sweat, and his eyes were extremely firm. "I will definitely satisfy you. I will do my best to treat you well. I promise that the things that made you sad in the past will never happen again. If I can't do that, I will automatically disappear from your sight and never entangle with you again."
Kong Nanzhu was enveloped by his strong emotions. The narrow space in the back seat of the car could not contain his passion. She was almost swallowed up by the love and desire in his eyes.
The night was long and the quiet streets seemed like a slow-motion movie scene. Under this moonlit night, Qin Qi's lonely and gloomy world finally saw the light of day.
The beating was worth it.
When they arrived at the hospital emergency room, Kong Nanzhu accompanied Qin Qi for an examination. The doctor found that his ribs were fractured, and after confirming that his internal organs were not affected, he recommended conservative treatment, put a chest strap on him, and asked him to go home and rest.
Kong Nanzhu was worried and confirmed, "Don't you need to be hospitalized?"
Doctor: "No, just go back and have a good rest. Don't move if you can, and take your medicine on time."
After coming out of the hospital, it was already two o'clock in the morning. Qin Qi insisted on sending Kong Nanzhu back to the apartment. He was in a good mood along the way and talked to Kong Nanzhu about the latest progress of the business he was in charge of in the company. Kong Nanzhu knew nothing about the internal affairs of the company and found it fresh.
It had been a long time since she had such a relaxed and comfortable conversation. Kong Nanzhu was not sure whether her rash decision tonight was correct, but she felt extremely relaxed at that moment. The stone that had been weighing on her heart for months rolled down to the bottom of the cliff.
In fact, she longed for a normal intimate relationship more than anyone else. After her parents left, she was left alone. Shen Jun and Qin Hehai provided her with a safe haven. No matter how good they were to her, she was just an outsider in this family. She hoped that there would be another person to build a family of their own with her. So far, she had only substituted Qin Qi for her assumptions and expectations about this person.
"Go back and have a good rest. I'll take care of the hospital. Don't run around."
"Okay." Qin Qi was extremely well-behaved. Kong Nanzhu didn't let him get out of the car, so he just sat in the car obediently.
But what he really wanted was to go upstairs with her.
This was simply to prolong the time I spent with her.
As long as they could live under the same roof and feel each other's presence, Qin Qi would be very satisfied.
He thought for a moment and said carefully, "Then can you please not drink so much in the future? If you need to socialize, I can accompany you. If it is not convenient, I can pick you up."
Kong Nanzhu looked at his cautious and expectant eyes, her heart softened, and she curled the corners of her lips, "Okay."
Kong Nanzhu stopped Qin Qi from getting out of the car to take her to the hospital. She jumped out of the car and quickly closed the door. She changed the destination of the designated driver order on her mobile phone app and said, "Master, please help him open the door when we get there. This is a patient."
"No problem, give me a good review pretty girl!"
Qin Qi looked at Kong Nanzhu's back reluctantly, "Master, please wait for two minutes before leaving."
"Okay." The designated driver is charged by time, and the driver doesn't mind taking time at all.
Qin Qi watched Kong Nanzhu walk into the gate of the community until her figure disappeared into the night. She never looked back, nor did she stop. Qin Qi didn't know what he was waiting for.
After the car started, he remembered that he had just wanted to say good night to Kong Nanzhu in person.
During this period of time, the first thing he did when he woke up every day was to send Kong Nanzhu a good morning message on WeChat, and the first was to send her a good night message. Unfortunately, he never received a reply.
Qin Qi was about to take out his phone and once again typed the words "good night" in the dialog box .
Soon he received a reply from Kong Nanzhu.
"Good night, sweet dreams."
What dream could be better than what happened tonight?
