As a result, the person on the bed was still asleep, and the sound just now was just her sleep talking.

Qin Xi slept uneasily, her brows furrowed deeper, her hands clenched the quilt tightly, and she kept shouting something.

Chu Yao was a little worried about her, hesitating between staying or leaving.

At this time, the sleeping man suddenly called his name.

"Chu Yao..."

She shouted very softly, but those two words stopped Chu Yao's steps in place.

"Let's go...Chu Yao..."

Her nightmare continues.

But Chu Yao couldn't leave her behind.

He quickly turned around and came to the bedside. Cold sweat broke out on Qin Xi's forehead, as if she was trapped in a nightmare.

"Qin Xi..."

He subconsciously called her name.

As soon as the words left his mouth, he didn't know what to say, so he could only comfort him in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, I'm here..."

Qin Xi in the dream couldn't hear his voice, and her expression was particularly painful, like a drowning person trying to struggle.

Her whole body was trembling, "You...don't die, I...don't want you to die..."

Chu Yao heard her sleep talk clearly, his heart stung, his voice was dry and hoarse, and he said: "I'm not dead, don't worry, I'm fine."

His voice was unusually gentle, and he held her hand tightly. Qin Xi's palm was terribly cold.

Perhaps feeling the warmth approaching, she subconsciously leaned over, her head almost resting on the back of Chu Yao's hand.

As fragile as a glass doll, where is the flamboyant look from before?

Chu Yao's heart softened when he looked at the person close to him. He let her come closer to him. He gently soothed her head with his other hand and patiently told her over and over again: "It's okay, it's okay. Don't be afraid. I am here……"

This method seemed to be effective. Qin Xi may have heard it and gradually became quiet.

After seeing her, Chu Yao felt a little relieved and said warmly in her ear, "Go to sleep, I will always be here."

He watched her sleeping peacefully, her cold palms gradually warmed by his body temperature, and he was reluctant to let her go, so he leaned against the bed to accompany her.

One night is fleeting.

As soon as a layer of fish belly white appeared on the horizon, Chu Yao knew it was time to leave.

He looked at the sleeping face of the man on the bed, feeling reluctant to leave just like that.

After staying for another 10 minutes, he gently kissed her hand, then stood up and left.

He didn't know that Qin Xi woke up not long after he left.

But he still looked a little confused.

She always felt that the room was so quiet. It seemed that it shouldn't be so empty. There should be someone there...

Qin Xi looked down at her hand again and felt strange, as if someone had been holding it...

She quickly recovered from her confusion.

I guess it was a dream.

She lived in this house, as well as the nanny who was responsible for taking care of her daily life. How could someone hold her hand while she slept?

She quickly put this behind her.

However, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a table not far away, with a bouquet of flowers there.

Qin Xi was stunned for a moment. When did you get that bouquet of flowers?Why wasn't she impressed?

She got up and got out of bed, walked over with bare feet to take a look.

The flowers were still fresh and still had some dew on them.

Could it be that the nanny sent it here?

It looks pretty and tastes very fresh. Qin Xi likes it just looking at it.

She didn't think much, found a vase, put the flowers in it, and then went to wash up.

……

Chu Yao returned to the research institute early in the morning. He didn't sleep all night and looked a little haggard.

When he came in, Nan Zhiyi and the others were having breakfast.

When he saw him coming back, he invited him to eat together.

Chu Yao did not refuse. After sitting down, Nan Zhiyi asked, "I heard from Emperor Shijing's men that you went to see Second Senior Sister last night?"

"Ah."

Chu Yao nodded and did not deny it.

The guards around the villa are all people from Di Shijing.

It’s not surprising that the junior sister would know.

Lu Wuyou didn't know about this. When Nan Zhiyi mentioned it, he asked, "Have you met?"

Chu Yao shook his head, "No, I think if she really forgets me, then just forget it. I won't irritate her, but I think I will use another way to get to know her again..."

There were too many bad memories between them in the past.

Maybe it's okay to forget and they can have a fresh start.

When Lu Yanjue heard this, he found it interesting and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Chu Yao said, "Didn't my junior sister say before that her childhood sweetheart lives next door to her? I won't give her this chance this time. I plan to buy the villa next door to her..."

After all three of them listened, they immediately understood.

Lu Yanjue smiled and said nothing.

"Not bad, first of all, this realization is very good!"

Lu Wuyou quite agreed with his approach.

Nan Zhiyi also encouraged, "Fourth Senior Brother, come on! The first to get closer to the water is to the moon, we are optimistic about you!"

"Thank you, junior sister!" Chu Yao also had a smile on his face.

The atmosphere of the breakfast was very good. The four of them finished it quickly and planned to continue back to the laboratory.

Nan Zhi realized that Chu Yao had been out all night last night, so he said to him, "Go and have a rest, and come back when you wake up."

Chu Yao waved his hand and refused, "No, I squinted for a while last night and am in good spirits. I won't delay the progress here."

He thought that if things here ended as soon as possible, he could concentrate on dealing with the matter with Qin Xi.

Nan Zhiyi couldn't defeat him and had no choice but to let him.

In the next two days, Chu Yao's house was also negotiated.

He moved in first. As for the transfer, he can take his time.

Every night, as usual, he would go to Qin Xi's room from the balcony, give Qin Xi a bouquet of roses, and stay with her for a while.

Leave before dawn, leaving no trace.

On the morning of the third day, after he was fully dressed, he brought some gifts and came over to ring the doorbell of the villa where Qin Xi lived.

It was the nanny who opened the door. She looked at the handsome young man in front of her and asked doubtfully, "Who are you?"

Chu Yao said in a gentle and friendly manner: "Hello, I am the new neighbor who has moved next door. I came here to say hello to you. This is the gift I prepared."

The nanny glanced at the villa over there and nodded, "So that's it, just wait a moment."

With that said, she went inside and called Qin Xi.

While waiting for Qin Xi to come over, Chu Yao actually felt a little nervous.

Even if you have already made up your mind.

But this can be regarded as the first official meeting between them after she regained consciousness. I don’t know how she will react...

Chu Yao waited for a while, and Qin Xi came out.

At that moment, his eyes couldn't help but follow her.

When she came to him, Chu Yao came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said, "Hello..."

Qin Xi, who had forgotten Chu Yao, looked at him and replied calmly: "Hello, I heard that you are the neighbor next door?"

Qin Xi's beautiful eyes were also staring at him.

Of course, he didn't recognize Chu Yao, but felt confused.

She had never seen this face before, but she didn't know why, but it felt inexplicably familiar.
