Ha ha

Bai Qi tilted his head, the coldness in his eyes continued unabated: "I would like to hear more about it."

Shen Ji wanted to maintain Xu Chenchuan's reputation in the company, but seeing the other party's reaction, he felt that this guy was a bit strange.Ordinary employees would at least be surprised and embarrassed if they found out that their boss had an ambiguous behavior with a man, but this man's eyes were not that serious, but seemed to be... repressing something?

Shen Ji thought twice more, but didn't say the rest, and looked at Xu Chenchuan inquiringly.

So Bai Qi also stared at Xu Chenchuan.

Xu Chenchuan's throat tightened: "This is my father's friend." After he finished speaking, he realized that this sentence was meaningless and could not clarify anything at all.When Shen Ji heard the tone, he seemed to realize something, and took two steps back to avoid suspicion.

Bai Qi stared at Xu Chenchuan for a few seconds, then lowered his eyes silently: "I'm sorry you two, I was rude."

Xu Chenchuan frowned.Before he could speak, Bai Qi's wheelchair had turned around: "Manager Xu, please call me when you're done, there's something I need you to make a decision on."

Shen Ji watched the young man in a wheelchair turn back to the office, somewhat confused about the situation.Xu Chenchuan collected himself, and said to Shen Ji apologetically, "I'll take you out."

"Oh, no need, I know the way." Shen Ji didn't ask anything.

Xu Chenchuan insisted on sending him to the corridor, then walked back to Bai Qi's office and closed the door smoothly.

Bai Qi raised his head, but it was Xu Chenchuan who spoke first: "That's just my dad's friend."

He has no position to report this to Bai Qi.However, for some reason, when he met those pitch-black pupils just now, he seemed to be pricked by a needle, and impulsively wanted to explain clearly immediately.Maybe it's impossible to ignore the anger...and pain that can't be concealed.

"He has encountered some things recently, so I want to comfort him." Xu Chenchuan didn't care whether Bai Qi listened or not, he just wanted to get rid of that misunderstanding expression.

He originally thought that Bai Qi would say "the manager doesn't need to tell me" in his usual tone, and then turn to talk about work in a polite manner.

Unexpectedly, Bai Qi paused and asked, "Did you also buy the new shirt for him?"

"...That's what I want to wear myself!" Xu Chenchuan was startled by his thoughts.

"Wear to meet him?"

"I didn't, I just wanted to meet someone—" Xu Chenchuan couldn't finish the sentence, he gritted his teeth under the harsh scrutiny of the other party, "It's not convenient to tell you about that, but it's not..."

Bai Qi smiled: "That's really a coincidence."

"Bai Qi!"

The thin lips on the opposite side were slowly pursed.

Xu Chenchuan was also angry: "Who am I going to meet, and what capacity are you using to intervene? After all, haven't you been emphasizing professional work relationships, and professional colleagues will question my private affairs?"

Bai Qi didn't speak.

Xu Chenchuan took a breath, his patience had been worn out by his capriciousness.A heart was lifted and dropped, tossed until now...but because the heart is still tied to him.

Cowardly, covertly, unexplainably.

Shen Ji's words are still in my ears: "It's a sad thing to like someone."

"...No. They won't." The person opposite said softly.

Bai Qi put the pen in his hand on the table and turned his wrist.

"I should just keep waiting," he said.

Xu Chenchuan didn't understand, and watched him control the wheelchair away from the desk and slide in front of him without knowing it.

"But I can't wait any longer." After Bai Qi said this, he closed his mouth tightly again, as if he was secretly preparing for something, his thin lips were pressed so that they lost their color.

Xu Chenchuan was affected by his emotions, but he didn't know what would happen next, and his breathing involuntarily increased.

Bai Qi clenched the armrest tightly, and suddenly smiled lowly: "It's a bit ugly, please bear with me."

Xu Chenchuan watched helplessly as he leaned on the armrests with his arms and lifted his body up little by little to get out of the wheelchair.

"What are you doing!" Xu Chenchuan was so frightened that he rushed over, did this person want to throw it to himself!

"Don't move!" Bai Qi stopped him.

The expected scene of Bai Qi falling in front of him didn't happen, Xu Chenchuan watched in horror as his two long, skinny legs slowly straightened up, and then—swayed slightly and stood still.

Bai Qi put one hand on the desk and leaned his body slightly.

For the first time in his life, he lowered his eyes to look at Xu Chenchuan. There was no expression on his face, but it formed a sharp contrast with Xu Chenchuan's expression.

"When I am in the best state now, I can only do this."

Bai Qi observed Xu Chenchuan's expression carefully, and continued in a slow voice: "However, the doctor said that I can still recover a little bit, it just takes time.

"So...can you wait any longer?"

Facing Xu Chenchuan who had been slow to respond, those eyes that pretended to be calm finally revealed hesitation and anxiety.

"—Wait for me to walk towards you with my feet?"

……

Xu Chenchuan's brain turned again from the numbness after the shock, and his face was still dazed. He saw Bai Qi's legs gradually began to tremble, making him unable to stand, but he still stubbornly supported his body and stared at him. That glimmer of light was being swallowed by darkness.

Xu Chenchuan's mind hadn't been able to comprehend these words, but his heart was already clenched.He took two steps forward to support Bai Qi, who suddenly relaxed and let him sit back with his support.

Xu Chenchuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, as if the last piece of the puzzle was finally added: "This is the agreement? The agreement I made with you when I was drunk?"

Bai Qi nodded.

"Then...so the callus on your hand..." Xu Chenchuan went to hold his hand, but Bai Qi didn't stop him.Xu Chenchuan turned out his palm, which was already covered with rough calluses, and it was even more shocking on those pale and smooth hands.

Xu Chenchuan blinked vigorously as if his eyes were burning with pain: "Is this all caused by rehabilitation?"

Bai Qi didn't answer, it was a tacit consent.

"You—you don't want to tell me about the agreement, are you planning to recover by yourself, until you can walk towards me with your feet, and then come to a showdown with me?"

Xu Chenchuan's throat was choked, and he managed to find his voice: "What if I didn't tell you until then, because I'm just drunk and can't talk?"

Bai Qi's face changed in an instant because of this sentence, and he paused for a moment before turning his head away in depression and said: "Although it is drunk, I believe—I think—that is your real wish. You want me to put aside the past shackles, and if I can't save you even after my rehabilitation is successful, it's even more impossible for me now."

He seemed unaccustomed to revealing his heart for others to see, but he insisted on saying, "I'm afraid that you might find out the truth halfway, so you might as well let me give up, so I want to take a gamble and show you the result directly. I think when Then convince you to believe that since I can walk towards you, I can go on with you... This is what I planned to do."

Bai Qi didn't look at Xu Chenchuan, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "But now, I'm afraid that before that time, you will throw me away as the shackles of the past."

He still couldn't hear a response, he gritted his teeth, and said with the last bit of reluctance: "I respect your choice, but can you wait a little longer? I promise, it won't exceed the agreed half-year deadline..." Bai Qi Turning around while speaking, the rest of the words got stuck.

Xu Chenchuan's eyes were red, tears were rolling in his eyes, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

"...Chenchuan..." Even Bai Qi was at a loss.From the moment he knew him to the present, he had never seen Xu Chenchuan cry.

In the end, this soft call became the final blow, and Xu Chenchuan's tears fell all of a sudden, out of control.Bai Qi tentatively touched his head, but was hugged by him whimpering.

Babies cry for milk, children cry for hugs.When they grow up, crying can no longer get what they want, and they will gradually learn to be patient.

Neither life nor death could make him cry, but at this moment, he suddenly destroyed his defense against this person.

I don't have to bear it anymore, I can already cry.Xu Chenchuan felt a hand patting on his back continuously, and then he was kissed.

How good, this long-lost temperature, he thought greedily.He still remembered the touch of these thin lips stroking him, and the strength with which these arms hugged him.The difference is that now it is no longer an ethereal thing that can only be retained by desperately catching it, but a reassuring warmth that actually envelopes the whole body.

Bai Qi was about to go down with him.

So all sorrows are erased, all regrets are filled.
