After staying in the UK for two full days, Qin Muzhen searched almost all the streets and alleys of London and even published a missing person notice in the newspaper, but unfortunately found nothing.
Until the next night, he received a phone call.
Nie Sheng stood aside and noticed that his expression was different, so he couldn't help but ask: "Who hit her? Has anyone discovered the whereabouts of Miss Xia?"
"Qiao Raorao." He said succinctly.
Nie Sheng's expression changed slightly. Qiao Raorao was following Gu Haoran and Xia Tong. If the call was from her, wouldn't that indirectly mean that he had found Miss Xia?
He put down his cell phone and said, "She is staying at the Hilton Hotel now. You will pick her up later."
"Yes." Nie Sheng answered, then asked uncertainly: "What about Miss Xia?"
"Found it too."
Nie Sheng was overjoyed, but looking at the young master's face, he didn't seem very happy. Instead, he looked solemn. He couldn't help but ask: "Master Mu, has something happened?"
He clenched his hands and said, "It's okay. You can go to the hotel to pick her up first."
"yes."
As soon as Nie Sheng left, he closed his eyes and leaned on the chair behind him. What Qiao Raoruo had just said unexpectedly came to mind.
…
"During this period, Xia Tong was forced to take a lot of medicine and became more and more strange. Mr. Qin, you have to be prepared, maybe she will not remember you at all again."
…
Don't you remember him at all again? He clenched his palms and didn't care, he really didn't care.
Even if she really doesn't remember him anymore, he can come back again!
Only this time, he would never let go of her hand.
*********************
Pastoral Villa, 9 o'clock. Xia Tong got him some medicine and took it, then he hurriedly found a towel, moistened it with water and applied it on his forehead.
Then he sat on the side with his face tilted, looking very depressed: "How come after I worked so hard to take care of you all day, your fever not only didn't go away but got worse?"
It's so frustrating, it's really frustrating. She obviously works very hard.
He closed his eyes and said nothing. In fact, he wanted to laugh in his heart. Well, he admitted that it was because of his bad intentions that he took a cold shower for half an hour while she was not paying attention.
It’s really strange that this fever can be cured in this winter!
"Ugh..." He suddenly frowned and clutched his chest in pain. Xia Tong immediately approached him: "What's wrong?"
"It's a bit disgusting." He pointed to his chest.
"Shall I rub it for you?" Xia Tong asked.
Just what he wanted! He hesitated for a while and then nodded: "Sorry to trouble you."
So Xia Tong stretched out a soft little hand and gently rubbed his chest. While rubbing it, he leaned down and asked, "How are you? Are you feeling better?"
He closed his eyes and his face changed slightly. He felt that he was really bringing it upon himself! Why did he lie to her that his chest was nauseating?
She was so close now, and she was rubbing his chest tenderly. He just felt a wave of heat rising down his body?
Doesn't she know that men are sensitive wolves?
The key is that he simply cannot and does not dare to touch her now. He is afraid that once he makes a move, he may not even be able to have such a warm moment like now.
He pushed her away stiffly and said, "Forget it, no need to rub it, I'll be fine after a while."
Hearing this, Xia Tong retracted his hand, but did not persist. He just found a chair and sat beside his bed: "I'm with you, you can sleep." She had been sick for a year due to drug withdrawal, so she
It is clear that patients are actually the most sensitive and vulnerable.
They are always afraid of being left behind.
On nights when she was frightened and frightened, he would move a chair like this and stay with her all the time. Now, she would do the same to him.
"Yeah." He closed his eyes.
Xia Tong sat next to him and soon became a little drowsy. Even though she stopped taking the medicine, the medicine was still in her body, so she was still sleepy.
But he suddenly said: "Xia Tong."
"Huh?"
"I can't sleep, please sing me a song." In the darkness, his eyes were clear, and he looked at her quietly.
"What to sing?" she asked, feeling a little embarrassed at the same time. In fact, she was tone-deaf and her singing was extremely speechless and difficult to listen to, so she rarely sang in public.
"Childhood," he said.
Childhood? Xia Tong tried hard to search for the lyrics in his mind, coughed slightly, and then said: "On the banyan tree by the pond, cicadas were screaming for summer. On the swing by the grass, only butterflies were parked on it. Blackboard
I’m still writing furiously on the teacher’s chalk….”
She didn't sing very well, but her expression was very hard and serious. She seemed to really want him to be happy.
He was lying on the bed, staring at her, and seemed to be looking through her at another chaotic world behind her.
In that world, there once was a girl like this who sang in his ears with a soft voice. Every word was engraved in his mind like an oath.
For many, many years, I have never forgotten it.
After the song ended, Xia Tong asked awkwardly: "Isn't it hard to listen to?"
He nodded: "It's extremely unpleasant."
She immediately looked shocked. He reached out and patted her head again: "Idiot, I lied to you."
Xia Tong was angry: "You bastard."
He closed his eyes: "Okay, you bastard is going to bed, so don't make any noise."
She immediately covered her mouth, as if she was afraid of disturbing him.
A few minutes later, he seemed to tell her, but also reminded himself: "I told you that you can leave after I fall asleep. But you must do it gently so as not to wake me up."
Feeling a little complicated, Xia Tong nodded: "Yes."
********* *********
At twelve o'clock in the morning, Qin Muzhen arrived at the villa that Qiao Raorao pointed to. Nie Sheng easily used tools to pry open the door. The whole villa was dark and quiet, as if there was no trace of life.
He went upstairs along the corridor, searching one room after another. When he found one of them, he stopped in his tracks, and there was obvious surprise on his face.
He saw the woman he had been searching for for nearly two weeks. Now her back was facing him, and with just a glance from her back, he was sure that it was her!
When he walked in, Xia Tong noticed the noise and turned his head.
"You..." He was about to speak, but she put her right index finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture. Then she turned her head and looked at the sleeping face on the bed to make sure that he was not awake.
Be determined.
At this moment, Qin Mujue also saw clearly the person lying on the bed, and a complex look flashed on his face.
Xia Tong tiptoed out of the room. He hesitated and followed.
As soon as the bedroom door was closed, the closed eyes opened very slowly. The clear eyes stared quietly at the ceiling above their heads, but there was nothing, nothing.
After a while, he showed a sad smile: "Fool, you promised not to wake me up."
