Qiao Qiao giggled. âIâm like your child, because you sound like youâre coaxing a child.â
Shao Jingmo patted the back of her shoulder with his palm, as if it was beating a beat. âHow about this? Isnât it more like it?â Qiao Qiao nodded in his arms.
Shao Jingmo said, âl feel the most at ease now.â
âMe too,â she said.
Later on, Qiao Qiao fell asleep for some reason. Perhaps it was because she was very at ease in Shao Jingmoâs arms, but she unknowingly felt sleepy. When she woke up, she was alone in the hospital bed. The absence of his residual warmth made her uneasy. She immediately rolled off the bed to look for him.
Because she was in such a hurry, she forgot to put on her shoes. She opened the door and was about to go out when she saw the person standing outside.
She was suddenly stunned. She looked up at him, her face pale from shock. âLittle Uncleâ¦
Shao Jingmo originally thought that he would be able to sleep with her for a while when he returned. He did not expect her to sleep so lightly and wake up quickly.
Seeing that she was worried, her hair was messy, and she was barefoot and not wearing her slippers, he frowned and went forward to pick her up horizontally. âNo matter how anxious you are, you canât not wear shoes.â
Qiao Qiao pouted, âIâm in too much of a hurry.â
Shao Jingmo asked her, âWhatâs the hurry?â
Qiao Qiaoâs voice was low. âIâm afraid I just had a beautiful dream. When I wake up from this dream, youâll disappear.â
She was afraid. Very, very afraid. That was why she was so sad.
Shao Jingmo pursed his thin lips into a straight line as he walked in and pulled her inside. As he walked, he explained, âl went to see Bai Chen.â
Qiao Qiao turned to look at him. âWhen did you go?â
He said truthfully, âAfter you fell asleep.â
âSo you were waiting for me to fall asleep so that you could sneak over to see Bai Chen?â Qiao Qiao asked. âThen what did you talk about?â
Shao Jingmo made her sit by the bed and pressed his palm on her shoulder. âTo understand my identity and background.â With that, he bent down and helped her put on her slippers.
When Qiao Qiao heard him say this, her heart skipped a beat. She was afraid that Bai Chen would say more, but on second thought, Shao Jingmo should know everything in the past.
But those memories were not good.
After putting on her shoes, she stood up and frowned. âDid Bai Chen tell you everything?â
âNo.â
âNo?â
âHe seems to be afraid of letting something slip. Heâs been patronizing me.â
Good job, Bai Chen.
Shao Jingmo could see the joy on her face. âIt seems that youâre very happy that I canât remember the past.â
âNo.â Qiao Qiao immediately shook her head.
Shao Jingmo raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of her nose. âWhy donât you look in the mirror? How happy are you smiling now?â
Qiao Qiao bit her lower lip and controlled her facial expression.
That night, Bai Chen did not appear again. Qiao Qiao knew that he hadnât left Country T, but he hadnât told her where he had gone. At night, she still stayed with Shao Jingmo. As they interacted, she had a vague feeling that Shao Jingmo must have learned something from Bai Chen in the afternoon.
Because when she accidentally mentioned the Bai family and the Qiao family, Shao Jingmo did not react. He was very indifferent to the topic, not curious at all.
Weird, isnât it? But that was it. The less curious he was, the more she thought he knew something.
After staying in the hospital for three days, Qiao Qiao went through the discharge procedures for Shao Jingmo. When she paid, she realized that Bai
Chen had left a sum of money and the hospital had even returned a portion to her. She called Bai Chen.
Bai Chen picked up her call. âBaby, did you miss me?â
Qiao Qiao turned on the speakerphone, and Shao Jingmo was beside her. She was a little embarrassed, because Bai Chen usually didnât call her that. At this moment, Shao Jingmoâs expression was cold. He was not angry, but unhappy.
She tried her best to ignore Shao Jingmoâs gaze. She cleared her throat and said to Bai Chen, âWhen I was doing the discharge procedures just now, I realized that you had paid the money. The hospital even returned some to me.â
Bai Chen said, âIs that all?â
Qiao Qiao wasnât shy. She said generously, âThank you.â
âWeâre all friends who know each other well. Thereâs no point in saying thank you.â
The wind on Bai Chenâs side was very noisy and sounded a little ear-piercing.
Qiao Qiao asked speculatively, âAre you by the sea?â
Bai Chen asked, âDid you hear it?â
Qiao Qiao said, âMm.â
Bai Chen said, âIâve never been to Country T before. This is my first time here. I realized that itâs quite beautiful here, so I plan to stay for a while. As for you guys, Iâve thought about it. I wonât send you off when you leave Country T. You can contact me when you land.â
Qiao Qiao pursed her lips. âIâll contact you when we land.â
Just as she hung up, Bai Chenâs high-pitched voice suddenly came from the phone. âHave a good trip. See you around.â
Qiao Qiao felt very secure. Her lips curled into a gentle smile. âIâll see you again. â
She hung up, Shao Jingmo held Qiao Qiaoâs hand and walked out of the hospital.
âHave you thought about where to go?â Shao Jingmo asked her.
Without thinking, Qiao Qiao said, âTo the capital. Weâll live in the capital from now on..â
