In the darkness, Huo Jinxi's hand slowly touched her face, and his fingertips gently touched her eyes.
Mu Qian closed her eyes tightly. When she noticed his movement, she suddenly grabbed his hand. Then, she put his hand to her lips, opened her mouth and bit it.
This bite is very hard.
The muscles in Huo Jinxi's arms were tense, but he just let her bite him without saying a word.
Mu Qian gritted her teeth until her teeth were sore, and then she finally let go.
After he spoke, she still just held his hand and wouldn't let go.
Huo Jinxi stretched out his other hand, hugged her, lowered his head and pressed a kiss on the corner of her lips.
The two of them remained in this posture without moving.
Until Mu Qian's breathing gradually stabilized, Huo Jinxi was still awake as before.
Another sleepless night.
In the early morning, as the sky gradually grew brighter, Huo Jinxi raised his hand and saw the wound bitten by Mu Qian last night.
She really worked hard. The tooth marks on the back of his hand were clearly visible, and the blood was exposed and turned purple. It probably wouldn't go away for five or seven days.
However, if these five and seven days can offset the past seven years, it is still a good deal, right?
Huo Jinxi lay quietly for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at Mu Qian, then gently pulled back his hand holding her and prepared to get up.
Who knew that as soon as he moved, Mu Qian also moved, her soft hands wrapped around his waist, and her whole body pressed against his body.
Huo Jinxi stopped and didn't move, and she nuzzled into his arms little by little. She looked like she was about to wake up, but she chose the most dangerous place to rub her.
Huo Jinxi's voice suddenly became hoarse several times, "Mu Qian."
Mu Qian suddenly laughed softly, opened her eyes and met his gaze, "What's wrong?"
Probably because last night's situation had left a shadow on him, Huo Jinxi looked at her with a cold face, then pulled her hand away from his waist, lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed.
Mu Qian immediately wrapped her around him from behind and pressed against his back, "Huo Jinxi, let me tell you something."
Huo Jinxi sat beside the bed without looking back, "What?"
"I don't seem to have a fever anymore, I don't have any pain in my stomach, and I don't have any discomfort in my intestines..." She whispered to his ear, and her restless hands slowly reached into his nightgown.
Huo Jinxi grabbed her hand with great strength.
Mu Qian laughed out loud again. This time, she only said three words.
"I want."
After the words fell, within three seconds, Mu Qian was thrown on the bed again.
She couldn't help laughing, and reached out to hook the man on her body.
…
On this day, Qi Yuan came to the apartment to pick up Huo Jinxi from work at the usual time.
At this time, Huo Jinxi was usually having breakfast, but when Qi Yuan got out of the elevator, he only saw Laura standing at the door holding a breakfast tray.
"Lola." Qi Yuan called her, "Why are you standing here and not bringing breakfast in?"
Laura shrugged and replied: "I rang the bell, but Mr. Huo didn't respond."
Usually after she rings the bell, Huo Jinxi will quickly press the answer button in the room, and she will enter the room only after receiving the message, so as not to disturb the people in the room.
So Huo Jinxi didn't respond today, so she didn't dare to enter rashly.
After hearing this, Qi Yuan couldn't help but look at his watch, and he was also puzzled - no matter where and what time he was, Huo Jinxi would always get up at six o'clock. It was already half past seven, so he should have gotten up early.
That's right.
Thinking of this, Qi Yuan also stretched out his hand and rang the bell.
However, the moment he put his finger up, a certain year suddenly flashed through his mind. Before it could be clearly expressed, he began to feel regret in his heart. However, the inertial movement of his finger could not help him flinch, so he watched with full regret.
He pressed it with his own fingers.
However, unexpectedly, this time, the answer key lit up.
Qi Yuan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Laura, opened the door and walked into the apartment.
There was no figure of Huo Jinxi in the living room. Qi Yuan went to the study and took a look, but he also didn't see Huo Jinxi, so the answer was obvious - Huo Jinxi was still in the bedroom.
Since she was in the bedroom, she should be out soon, so Laura arranged breakfast as usual, while Qi Yuan sat on the sofa, picked up his tablet, and watched the news while waiting.
In the bathroom of the bedroom, Huo Jinxi had just turned on the shower when suddenly there were hands on his waist and a body behind him.
"Stop making trouble." He turned his head and glanced at her slightly.
"I must." Mu Qian said, "It's still early, why are you in a hurry?"
Huo Jinxi felt the strength of her entanglement around his waist and said nothing - the person who had been begging for mercy on the bed just now actually had the strength to pester her again, which showed that her illness was almost healed.
Seeing that he was silent, Mu Qian walked around to him and attacked him from the front.
The dense water curtain was just like last night, the room was full of steam, and the sound of water was pouring, covering up the room full of high breaths and low voices.
…
Ten minutes after entering, Qi Yuan looked in the direction of the bedroom three times;
Twenty minutes after entering the door, Qi Yuan looked in the direction of the bedroom thirty times.
Thirty minutes after entering, Qi Yuan felt that he was about to see through the bedroom door - but still couldn't see anything.
Countless possibilities flashed through his mind, although there was only one most likely one, but this possibility did not match Huo Jinxi's personality very well, so more random possibilities popped up in his mind - could it be
Was it an accident? Coma? Poisoning? Murder for love? Home invasion? Crime in a secret room?
His mind was full of thoughts, and just when he made up his mind to knock on the door, the door finally opened, and Huo Jinxi in a black suit walked out.
Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief again and looked at the time. It was already eight twenty.
Judging from the traffic in Manhattan, you will definitely be late if you go out at this time, not to mention that Huo Jinxi hasn't had breakfast yet.
Huo Jinxi was probably prepared to be late early in the morning, so he was not in a hurry and sat at the dining table while browsing the news and drinking coffee.
Qi Yuan neither dared to say anything nor asked anything, but silently calculated in his mind - he had been with Huo Jinxi for almost eight years, and this was the first time that Huo Jinxi was late for work.
first!
Qi Yuan silently recited these three words over and over in his mind. When he couldn't help but look in the direction of the bedroom again, Mu Qian floated out of the bedroom wrapped in a nightgown that was as short as her legs.
Qi Yuan caught a glimpse of her clothes and subconsciously looked away. Then he caught a glimpse of the blush on her face and he stood up from the sofa.
"Mr. Huo, I'm waiting for you downstairs."
Qi Yuan left such words in a hurry, not daring to look at Mu Qian again, and hurried to the door.
Before turning around and closing the door, he saw Mu Qian walking up to Huo Jinxi, lowering her head and taking a bite of the sandwich that Huo Jinxi had just taken, but Huo Jinxi didn't care and continued to eat where she had bitten.
