In the wind and snow, Meng Qingrang's exhaled breath also became traceable.

Qi Xi watched silently, and was disturbed by her words 'worried', so she lowered her head and said with a smile: "There is nothing to worry about, I'm not a child."

"Mmm." Meng Qing responded with a soft and slow voice, but she could not tell her emotions.

Qi Xi suddenly didn't know what to say to her, and after a moment of silence, his empty mind finally managed to think, "How do you know I'm here?"

Meng Qing let the hand hanging by his side move, lifted it up and put it in his pocket, and replied, "Say it, you will most likely be angry."

angry?

Qi Xi was puzzled.

Inadvertently saw the valuable decoration on her earlobe, and quickly understood - for a person like Meng Qingrang, money has something to do with it, and there will be no secrets that cannot be solved.

Qi Xi turned her head and laughed, but said nothing.

Meng Qingrang felt an uncomfortable restlessness in her chest for no reason, and immediately explained, "Qi Xi, I have no malicious intentions." If she really wanted to make her look sideways at her by exploiting Qi Xi's weakness, then I would not make a second call to Zhou Mai at night, or I knew her from the beginning, instead of waiting for Zhou Mai's reply to the hospital address, and driving aimlessly here. to a strange city.

Qi Xi had never seen Meng Qingrang like this.

In my impression, she should be the kind of person who can calm down even if the sky falls, so anxious...

Qi Xi rubbed her dry lips with the tip of her tongue, and her depressed mood all night suddenly became lighter.

Quietly, yet with great fanfare.

"Let's go, talk in another place, it's too cold here." Qi Xi said.

Meng Qingrang didn't hear her positive answer, and the uncomfortable feeling in his heart became more obvious. Shuzhan frowned, stood in front of Qi Xi who was about to leave, and said, "I'll ask you directly, you will definitely not let me come, but Qi Xi, do you know that your voice was trembling when you were talking to me? I don't think you are a person who would easily show weakness to anyone. How could I sit idly by when this happened all of a sudden?"

Meng Qingrang's voice was serious when he spoke, and he spoke very fast, as if his eyes were red-eyed.

Qi Xi stared at her fixedly, with no expression on her face.

Silence came suddenly.

Suddenly, a restrained smile emerged from Qi Xi's lips, and then quickly joined together when Meng Qing made the wrinkles between his brows deeper.

Meng Qingrang was puzzled by her laughter.

After a long time, Qi Xi suppressed her smile, walked up to Meng Qingrang, held her hand, and said softly than the snowflakes in the sky, "Let's go, idiot."

"...?" Meng Qing didn't turn the corner in his mind for a moment, and let Qi Xi drag him forward slowly.

Walking and walking, looking back at her, holding back a smile, shaking his head, not knowing who he was talking to, "Why did you become so stupid all of a sudden?"

Meng Qingrang looked at the bright smile on Qi Xi's face for a moment, and the discomfort in his heart subsided quietly.

When it disappeared completely, the hand held by Qi Xi was held back, and the gentleness in his eyes reappeared.

Perhaps, she knew why she suddenly couldn't think.

----

The convenience store next to the hospital is open 24 hours. In winter, people often come here to warm up.

Meng Qingrang sat by the window, his peaceful eyes followed Qi Xi who was ordering at the cashier.

There was no abnormality on her face, and when she got the meal, she distributed it to her as usual, saying: "This place is only open here, let's eat something."

Meng Qing kept silent, picked up the coffee and took a sip.

The taste is very bland.

After eating in silence, the two left the convenience store and walked towards the hospital.

In the city at 04:30 in the morning, sanitation workers have already started to work. Qingxue collects garbage and cleans up the empty streets.

"Be careful." Meng Qingrang helped Qi Xi who came down from the curb, his legs were so weak that he fell forward.

Qi Xi shook his head, smiled and said, "Thank you."

As soon as the voice was spoken, the topic was suddenly opened.

"Aren't you from Jiangping?" Qi Xi asked.

Meng Qingrang answered truthfully, "No, I just arrived in Singapore when you called."

"Come back straight away? Are you tired of tossing back and forth?"

"It's a little bit. It took me a while to find it from the airport. If it weren't for the cup of coffee you bought just now, I might be yawning now."

"Then you're still here?" Qi Xi laughed at her.

Meng Qingrang turned his head, met Qi Xi's eyes, and said calmly, "I'm worried about you."

It was this answer again.

Qi Xi looked into Meng Qingrang's eyes with a smile, and called her by her full name for the first time, "Meng Qingrang, I didn't promise you anything, there's no need for you to do this."

Meng Qing made a smile, avoiding Qi Xi's gaze, "This is something I am willing to do, and I didn't want you to exchange it with equal value."

"..."

Qi Xi's regular steps slowed down, and with a smile on his face, he quietly looked at Meng Qingrang's straight and unrestrained back.

Feng Xue didn't take special care of her because of her thin clothes, but she still walked with her shoulders stretched, fearless and straightforward.

It is also raised by one side of the soil and water, why can someone live like Meng Qingrang?

Qi Xi couldn't figure it out, but vaguely wanted to figure it out.

She raised her chin slightly, let go of her voice, and called out to Meng Qingrang who was about to cross the road ahead.

Meng Qingrang turned around, "Huh?"

Qi Xi raised her hands, pointed to her legs with her index finger, and said with a mournful face, "Your legs are still sore, you have to wait for me."

It was rare for Meng Qingrang to see such an expression on Qi Xi's face, he was in a daze, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said sorry: "I forgot."

She didn't wait for Qi Xi to come by herself, but turned around and walked to her side, and walked the short distance with her again.

At this time, the wind and snow are fierce.

Even if the two were so close that they would touch each other's arms when they were out of step, Qi Xi still couldn't feel any warmth from Meng Qingrang's body.

With her pockets in both hands, Qi Xi lowered her eyes and found that the tassels under the scarf had already fallen snow.

She lifted it up, shook it, untied it, and handed it to Meng Qingrang, whose lips were faintly blue from the cold, and said, "Miss Meng, although you are the master of the fashion circle and the goddess of my best friend, but now you are really In winter, you need some temperature."

Meng Qingrang didn't understand the meaning of Qi Xi's words, turned around and saw her holding the scarf in front of her, her eyes shook slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay."

Meng Qingrang took the scarf, put it on under Qi Xi's gaze, then raised her head and asked her, "Is this okay?"

Qi Xi pursed her lips and smiled, and said deliberately: "Have you never worn a scarf before?"

Meng Qingrang thought for a while, "I don't remember it."

Qi Xi shook his head and sighed, "You are indeed young."

Meng Qing raised his eyebrows lightly, and smiled, "Then please teach me, Teacher Qi?"

"That's easy to say." Qi Xi waved his hand calmly, lifted it up, and pinched the scarf that had just blocked Meng Qingrang's chin with lightning speed, and lifted it up vigorously, directly covering her eyes.

Meng Qingrang's vision was suddenly blocked, and when he was about to speak, he heard Qi Xi laugh out loud.

The laughter is hearty and brisk, which makes the quiet morning of the snowy winter day very vivid.

Meng Qingrang suddenly felt that the words that had come to his lips were very disappointing. He pulled off the scarf and looked at Qi Xi with a smile. No temper?"

Qi Xi tilted her head, frowned, and asked Meng Qingrang what she had asked herself not long ago, "Then are you angry?"

Meng Qingrang smiled and said, "No."

----

In the morning, Qi Yongzhi came to deliver breakfast just in time for the doctor's ward rounds. He stood nervously by the side, acting awkwardly like a child.

"It's closed," said the doctor, the only correct word he had given in three days.

Qi Yongzhi's tense nerves suddenly relaxed, tears welled up in his eyes, and he kept bowing to thank him.

Qi Xi saw it in his eyes, and his heart was as calm as stagnant water.

Jiang Chumei has passed this test, but there are fewer places to move than before.

"Dad, go to school quickly, Mom has me here." Qi Xi said.

Qi Yongzhi repeatedly agreed, and said with a smile on his face: "Your aunt and the nurse will be here later. You can go back to Jiangping and go to work as soon as you explain the precautions to them. If you are absent from work for too long, the leader will definitely have opinions."

"It's okay, I've asked for leave." In fact, no, the incident happened so suddenly that she couldn't think of asking for leave at all. Later, Zheng Youling reminded her that she made up the leave application in time, but Li Shu rejected it.

Qi Yongzhi didn't know about this, and kept saying: "Listen to what Dad said, the doctor said your mother is fine, so you can go home without worry."

Qi Xi understood Qi Yongzhi's temper and knew that he couldn't change his mind, so he didn't insist anymore, but took out a bank card from his pocket, handed it to him and said, "Dad, there is 20 in it, you keep it for emergency. "

Qi Yongzhi was surprised, "Where do you get so much money?"

Qi Xi, "I saved it."

"Nonsense. Over the years, Dad has a lot of things to do at school, and your mother is being taken care of by the professional nurses you hired. It costs tens of thousands of dollars a month, plus your mother's hospitalization expenses over the years, Monthly medical expenses, and your daily expenses in Jiangping, where can you save the extra money?"

"I have private jobs, and my monthly income is no less than my salary."

"Really?" Qi Yongzhi didn't understand Qi Xi's industry, so he wasn't sure if what she said was true or not.

Qi Xi smiled and said, "When have I lied to you?"

"Then, okay." Qi Yongzhi took the card and said in a serious tone, "Did your uncle tell you all about it? Your mother borrowed money from the principal for this operation. Dad will take the money from you first." Pay back the rest, and save the rest for you, Dad will save for you. Dad will start raising his salary next month, so there is no need to drag you down."

"Dad." Qi Xi couldn't accept the word 'drag', as children already have the obligation to support their parents, and besides... "I owe you and my mother this."

"Qi Xi!" Qi Yongzhi's expression changed suddenly, and he said coldly, "I don't want to hear this kind of words again, can it be done?"

Qi Xi's face turned pale, and his voice was very low, "Yes."

Qi Yongzhi looked at her for a few seconds, then eased his attitude, "Go and eat, Dad is leaving first."

Qi Xi, "OK."

Qi Yongzhi came out of the ward with his briefcase, turned his head and met Meng Qingrang outside the door.

The two of them didn't know each other, they just glanced at each other and walked in two directions without squinting at each other.

However, Meng Qingrang could guess who he belonged to Qi Xi.

Not long ago, Meng Qingrang received a call from Zhou Mai to confirm with her how to deal with the work left behind after returning temporarily.

She thought the call would be very long, so she went to the safe channel to answer it. She didn't want the call time to be much shorter than expected. When she came back to the ward, she happened to hear the conversation between Qi Xi and Qi Yongzhi.

Suddenly, very...unexpectedly.

----

At ten o'clock in the morning, Qi Xi and Meng Qingrang, who told their aunt and nurse to be good, left the ward together.

"How do you answer?" Meng Qingrang asked.

Qi Xi, "High-speed rail."

"I'll take you to the high-speed rail station."

"No, go and do your work quickly. It must delay a lot of things by running here all of a sudden, right?"

"That's not in a hurry at this moment." Meng Qingrang gently hooked Qi Xi's shoulders, reminding her, "Come here, my car is underneath."

Qi Xi was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly remembered the two bright white lights he saw at the entrance of the garage last night.

That is Meng Qingrang, right?

On a lonely snowy night in the early morning, she traveled all the way here alone.

Thinking of this, I couldn't say anything if I refused.

"Thank you." Qi Xi said.

Meng Qingrang laughed, "In less than 12 hours, you said 'thank you' 17 times, aren't you tired?"

"If you're not tired, it's just as easy as lip-to-mouth."

Meng Qingrang sighed, showing helplessness, "I'm so tired from listening."

"..."

The high-speed rail station is far from the hospital, and it takes four to 10 minutes if there is no traffic jam.

Qi Xi didn't sleep last night, and soon after getting in the car, she felt groggy and couldn't open her eyes. She was afraid that if she really fell asleep, Meng Qingrang would feel that she was the driver, and she felt aggrieved, so she had to hold on to talking to her — intermittent, unresponsive.

Meng Qingrang was also not in good spirits, and was much more cautious than usual when looking at the road while driving, so that he didn't realize Qi Xi's sleepiness until halfway through the journey.

She smiled silently, stretched out her right hand to cover Qi Xi's eyes, and said softly, "Go to sleep."

Qi Xi's sluggish mind cleared up for a moment, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

This time, I slept until one o'clock in the afternoon.

Qi Xi woke up in a daze, unable to tell where she was for a moment, or the subtle keyboard tapping sound in the back row pulled her back from her thoughts.

She hurriedly turned around to look, and sure enough, she saw Meng Qingrang busy behind.

She was wearing myopia glasses at the moment, she looked gentle, and she felt like an elite.

Sensing Qi Xi's gaze, Meng Qingrang stopped working and looked up, and asked with a smile, "Is it disturbing you?"

"No." Qi Xi said, "It's been so long, why didn't you call me?"

"Seeing that you are too tired, you don't want to call."

Meng Qingrang's words were as straightforward as ever.

Qi Xi didn't evade or refute, but met her eyes quietly.

A quiet environment can easily lead to impulsiveness.

After a long time, Qi Xi pursed her lips and asked her very slowly, "Meng Qingrang, are you still interested in me?"
