Chapter 345 The Sail Race [16] It's more at ease if someone is with you
Mo Qing stopped talking to Jiang Ke.
She turned around and went back to bed.
It was raining heavily outside, and the sound of knocking on the window glass was rapid and enthusiastic, like a dense and chaotic drum beat, without any rhythm at all.
Mo Qing turned over and heard slight footsteps.
It was Jiang Ke who sat back down again.
Mo Qing opened his eyes and saw the light from the floor lamp in the cubicle scattering on the wall, casting light circles of light, and a very shallow shadow outline falling on the wall.
Occasionally, there is the sound of turning pages of a book.
"You really don't want to leave?"
Mo Qing sat up suddenly and raised his hand to his forehead.
"Read a book."
The two words calm and composed came clearly and powerfully.
Mo Qing asked: "Are you worried that I will die in your house?"
"If you can't speak, I can teach you in a class."
"Thank you."
"You have to pay."
"..."
Mo Qing frowned.
"Let's go," Mo Qing tilted his head slightly and looked at the shadow on the wall, "I am such a unique person, I can't let anything happen just because I shed some blood."
She determined that Jiang Ke was staying here because he was afraid that something might happen to her due to blood loss.
In fact, Jiang Ke did not deny it and only said: "Call me if you have anything."
"It's so boring to talk to you."
Jiang Ke paused for a moment and said in a cool tone: "It's still interesting to talk to Jiang Yan."
Mo Qing suddenly felt restless in his heart: "If you are sick, just tell me and I can cure it."
Jiang Ke answered calmly: "Another day, I'm not free tonight."
"..."
Mo Qing rolled his eyes and lay back again.
But at this moment, she was no longer sleepy.
She flipped the pancakes over and over again, and after a while, she took the initiative to talk again: "Aren't you sleepy?"
"I know what's going on." Jiang Ke paused for two seconds and then said, "Don't disturb me."
Mo Qing secretly grinded his teeth.
She turned over, fell on her back on the bed, looked at the ceiling above her head, and said, "I'm thirsty, go get a glass of water."
Mo Qing didn't really expect Jiang Ke, a rebellious person, to be obedient.
But soon, she heard Jiang Ke put down the book.
Jiang Ke walked out of the bedroom.
After a while, Jiang Ke came in with a glass of water and a kettle in his hand.
He put both on the bedside table.
Mo Qing put his hands on the bed, half stood up, and said to Jiang: "Give it to me."
Jiang Ke glanced at her and handed her the glass of water.
Mo Qing took the water, sat down cross-legged, took two sips, and returned the cup.
The distance between her and the bedside table was obviously closer.
But Jiang Ke still took it and put it on the bedside table.
Jiang Ke didn't leave. After taking a look at her, he asked, "What else do you want?"
"Please step back first." Mo Qing waved his hand.
"..."
Jiang Ke walked away slightly speechless.
Mo Qing leaned on the bedside and looked at the shadow on the wall. After a long time, he slowly said: "Jiang Ke."
Jiang Ke asked: "What do you want?"
Mo Qing said: "What's your psychology behind staying here?"
Jiang Ke remained silent.
Mo Qing paused: "I suddenly remembered something."
"What."
Mo Qing still stared at the shadow: "During the time before I fell asleep, he looked at me very closely, catered to me in everything, relied on me, and restricted me in every way."
"If you go out for a walk, you can send a team of people to follow me."
"Gradually, my food tastes became exactly the same as mine, and my hobbies and interests became his. I would casually tell me what I wanted to do, and he would arrange everything, so I didn't have to worry about anything."
"Everyone said he was good to me."
"He is indeed good to me. But he has become completely different from the person I first met."
"In the past, when I had a quarrel with him, he would try to make me happy. Later, he would rather stay outside the door all night without saying a word."
"In the past, he would support me to get the things I wanted. Later, he let me stay and get them for me personally."
"He's not like him, and I'm not like me."
"I shouldn't have said that to him."
"I never thought about these things in detail before, but now that I think about it, if it hadn't been for...I was forced to sleep, the outcome between me and him would not have been very good."
Jiang Ke was silent for a while: "Maybe."
Mo Qing asked again: "Can you do it?"
Jiang Ke did not respond to him.
However, the book was closed.
After a while, the floor lamp was turned off, and the shadow on the wall suddenly disappeared.
Jiang Ke walked out of the partition with his book in hand and paused for a moment.
In the dim light of the night, only the outline of his figure could be seen.
He turned his head and looked over and asked, "Why are you forced to sleep?"
"You ask that?"
Mo Qing was a little surprised.
Jiang Ke nodded: "Curious."
"How should I put it?" Mo Qing lowered his eyes, rubbed his chin with his fingers, and said after a moment, "I am a reformer. Few people should have known about it, but later, I don't know who publicized it. At that time, the overall situation was just beginning.
Stay calm, my existence will cause turmoil, and if nothing else happens, I should be sacrificed to heaven."
Mo Qing said: "But many people wanted to protect me. Finally, Jiang Yan suggested letting me sleep."
"Jiang Yan proposed it?"
"Um."
Jiang Ke was quiet for a moment and wondered: "He is so possessive of you, how can he be willing to separate from you?"
"...Ask him."
Mo Qing was a little irritable.
At that time, she often had conflicts with Jiang Yan, and their relationship became tense for a time.
Coupled with the pressure from the external situation, when Jiang Yan proposed to let her sleep, she agreed without much thought.
"Call me if you need anything."
Jiang Ke didn't say anything more, and left after giving a warning.
The moment he opened the door, Mo Qing shouted: "Hey."
Jiang Ke paused in his movement to open the door.
Then, Jiang Ke turned around and glanced this way: "I just think that when you feel uncomfortable, having someone with you will make you feel more at ease."
This gave Mo Qing a response to the original question.
