Chapter 124 Encounter
Chi Xia was inexplicably forced by Dr. Qiu and Gui Lai to undergo a full set of examinations.
By the time the series of tests were completed, she was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back, but she still followed Dr. Qiu obediently and listened to him make an appointment with his acquaintances to get the test results the next day.
After they finished their greetings, Dr. Qiu gave an order: "Okay, the staged task is completed, let's go eat."
Chi Xia felt as if he had been pardoned and was completely relieved.
The three of them returned to the hotel, and Chi Xia almost ran into the private room.
Doctor Qiu and Guilai walked together: "It's good for her to be like this. She can be stupid when she needs to be stupid, and smart when she needs to be smart. Why does she have to restore that damn memory? That thing may not be a good thing for her."
Gui Lai reported his work to Lin Cuo and replied, "Doctor Qiu, we are police officers. We believe that everyone has the right to know the truth. We can't be timid when it happens to us."
After he finished speaking, he pointed seriously at the chat history with Lin Cuo on his phone: "Sister Cuo said so, I can only cooperate."
Doctor Qiu sighed again: "Ah, I don't understand so much. When she gets crazy, she is just as bad as Jiang Yi's wife. You have to control her. Don't let her do whatever she wants. It will cause a big mess."
Guilai carefully conveyed Mr. Qiu's meaning to Lin Cuo.
The other end replied with eight words: "Let it be, someone will take care of her."
"Let it be."
Guilai said to Mr. Qiu: "Okay, we're leaving soon. Are you still going to keep a cold face?"
Old Qiu snorted angrily and entered the private room: "Eat, eat, eat. If you don't take good care of your body, you won't be able to eat !"
Gui Lai leaned against the door to watch the show, and saw him sit down again: "Okay, order whatever you want to eat, order your favorite food, it's my treat, old man!"
"I've ordered." Chi Xia immediately handed him the menu in a servile manner.
The old man frowned and squinted at the menu: "You really know how to save money for a poor old man like me..."
When she came back and went in, she saw that she was ordering whatever was expensive, just like before, poking at the old man's heart.
Every time this time comes, the drama between the two will come to an end, and then return to an extremely harmonious state, with them interacting with each other like a pair of close grandfather and grandson.
After dinner, Chi Xia and Dr. Qiu both ran away. When they came back, they went to pay the bill as usual.
Dr. Qiu had some personal matters to attend to, so Gui Lai took him there. Chi Xia saw them off and took a taxi at the hotel entrance.
I had just waited for a while when a slightly surprised voice came from behind me: "Chi Xia?"
Chi Xia turned around and saw Qu Bai walking with two middle-aged men. He turned his head and said to them, "I'm a friend. Let me chat for a while. You guys go first."
The two middle-aged men glanced at Chi Xia, nodded as a greeting, and left quickly.
Qu Bai came over and asked: "Are you coming here to eat too?"
"Yeah." Chi Xia still couldn't hide her joy: "My family came to see me and came to have a meal together, how about you?"
"I want to talk about something."
Qu Bai also laughed: "That bar doesn't make much money, you have to rely on other means, I'll take you wherever you go."
Chi Xia thought about it and suddenly said, "Qu Bai, let's go for a walk."
Qu Bai was startled, as if a little surprised, but soon a look of surprise appeared in his eyes: "Okay."
He waved towards somewhere, and soon someone got out of the car and handed him an umbrella.
Chi Xia looked indifferent and didn't care.
When they were crossing the road holding umbrellas, Luo Xun's car happened to stop in front of the hotel. He got out of the car and frowned at the backs of Chi Xia and Qu Bai.
Someone leaned out of the car window and asked him, "Xiao Xun, what's wrong?"
Luo Xun retracted his gaze: "Nothing, I just saw someone I know."
He opened the car door and said, "Dad, Mom, let's eat first and then go home. I've asked someone to clean up the house. By the way, how many days do you plan to stay this time?"
Luo Weijun blocked the top of the car door and helped his wife get down: "That depends on how many days you can stay at home. If you don't come back, we might as well go back earlier."
Ling Nan took her son's arm and said, "Come home and live here. Mom will cook your favorite dishes. Look how thin you have become."
Luo Xun smiled and said, "Okay."
The three people walked in, Luo Xun looked back again, and Chi Xia and Qu Bai's figures just disappeared.
…
During the long walk, Chi Xia and Qu Bai did not speak.
The raindrops fell on the black umbrella with a pattering sound, and half of Qu Bai's shoulder was wet, but his eyes were always gentle.
Until a car sped past, Chi Xia grabbed his arm and dodged to the side. Qu Bai's umbrella tilted, and the raindrops gathered along the ribs of the umbrella and fell onto Chi Xia's arm.
Some of the water splashed by the car fell on Qu Bai's shirt.
The two of them frowned unhappily at the same time, looked at each other, and soon laughed again.
Qu Bai moved the umbrella over again: "Are you okay?"
Chi Xia rolled up her sleeves, not minding at all that the needle marks on her elbow that had not yet disappeared were seen by Qu Bai: "It's just a little rain."
Qu Bai's eyes swept over her arm, then he quickly looked away, took out a lychee candy from his pocket and handed it to her.
Chi Xia took it, peeled the candy and put it in his mouth: "Qu Bai, why don't you eat the candy?"
"I don't like it." Qu Bai said, "Maybe I liked it when I was a kid, but I don't like it anymore later."
"Then do you know why I like it?"
She stopped, moved forward slightly, faced Qu Bai, stared into his eyes and asked.
Those eyes were staring at him with burning passion . Qu Bai wanted to look away, but at a certain moment he suddenly felt that there would be very few opportunities for them to look at each other clearly face to face like this in the future.
"Know."
He took a deep breath and felt his throat aching. He wanted to say , but could only squeeze out these two words.
Chi Xia opened his mouth slightly and exhaled, his eyes aching and tears welled up.
Qu Bai lowered his umbrella slightly, trying to hide their expressions as much as possible.
No one spoke again. Chi Xia looked away, silently pulled his arm and lifted his sleeve.
His arms were smooth, nothing like what she expected to see.
She let go and continued walking forward.
Qu Bai followed quickly, he seemed to be able to sense her emotions at the moment.
Sad, angry, irritable, restrained.
"Girls all like to eat candy." Qu Bai's voice was as gentle as ever: "Am I right?"
Chi Xia snorted and laughed: "Maybe, then why do you like persimmons and pomegranates?"
Qu Bai pursed his lips: "I have a younger sister..."
Thinking of the past, Qu Bai's face became even gentler: "When I was a child, the environment was not good. She fought with others and the spoils were persimmons and pomegranates. She eagerly sent them to me. They were the most delicious things I have ever eaten."
“Persimmons are sweet, and pomegranates are sweet and sour.”
Chi Xia's voice was a little choked up, and she was a little unwilling to give in: "Sugar is also sour and sweet, why don't you like it?"
Why don't you like it?
Just like she didn't like pomegranates and persimmons, they were each other's trophies.
To him, the pomegranates and persimmons were given by her, so he liked them very much and would never forget them for the rest of his life.
For her, lychee-flavored candy was the only sweetness in her inhuman years, so she liked it and could never forget it.
But their spoils were all stained with blood.
What is readily available to ordinary people, they have to fight for.
"You'll know later." Qu Bai said, "It's raining hard, I'll take you back."
"I don't want you to see me off." Chi Xia walked into the rain: "Don't see me off."
Qu Bai moved his feet, finally listened to her words, and watched her figure disappear from his sight.
"Little fox, it's not time yet."
He spoke softly, threw away his umbrella, turned around and walked into the rain.
