Xia Zhongcheng was really a generous person.
Not only did he say "I don't care about Jing Qi's past", but even when Tong Che came to visit, he was still generous enough to make room for his "love rival". Such a man was really … rare!
However, he was not cowardly and retreating!
On the other hand, this showed his wisdom … Sometimes, it seemed like taking a step back was actually the wisest attack.
He knew in his heart that since he had already expressed his intention to propose, if he forced Yun Jingqi to agree now, he might not have the confidence to win. Therefore, he chose to take a step back and use a roundabout tactic to avoid Tong Che, this "strong enemy". As for the rest … he would think about it later.
He simply stood up and said, "Then I'll go back first."
Without waiting for the mother and daughter to speak, he turned and walked out.
Who knew …
However, Tong Che spoke first. His voice was low and sexy. "Xia Zhongcheng, wait a moment."
"Hmm?"
Tong Che smiled slightly. "What I mean is … don't be in a hurry to leave. I won't be staying for long anyway. You can chat with Jingqi a little longer."
Huh?
What did he mean?
Yun Jingqi's eyes, which were originally brimming with vigor, immediately dimmed …
Tong Che handed the flowers to Xu Jingya. "Auntie, if you can get a vase, you'd better put the flowers in it first."
Xu Jingya was also used to big occasions … She did not show her emotions easily. She politely put her face next to the flowers and took a deep breath. "Oh, it's really fragrant. You don't say, I haven't seen such beautiful lilies in years."
Tong Che smiled faintly. "My car is still waiting downstairs. I have a work meeting to attend in the province, so I took some time to come and see Jingqi. Since I know that she's fine now, I'm relieved."
Then, he turned to Yun Jingqi with one hand in his pocket and narrowed his eyes. His face was calm and expressionless. "Jingqi, thank you … for saving me that night!"
He did not say anything else.
He bowed slightly like a gentleman, turned around and left the ward.
Xia Zhongcheng stared at his back and froze for two seconds before abruptly taking his leave. "Auntie, Jing Qi, I have something to do too. I'll leave first."
She quickly followed Tong Che out.
Yun Jingqi lowered her head and didn't say a word. Her hands unconsciously clutched the corners of the quilt … There was a hint of disappointment in her eyes.
Xu Jingya walked over and put one hand on her daughter's shoulder. She squeezed her gently and said in a low and gentle voice, "Silly girl, even now … you still can't tell what suits you?"
She used her chin to point at the pile of food Xia Zhongcheng brought over. "What Staff Officer Xia brought … are all real things, simple and ordinary, but useful."
She then looked at Tong Che's flowers and smiled bitterly, "This bouquet of lilies is really beautiful and very rare … However, it doesn't seem to have any practical use, right? It's probably only suitable for viewing from afar. Also, if you want to keep the flowers young, you have to put them in a vase and take care of them carefully! Perhaps … this is the portrayal of your feelings for Tong Che? "
Yun Jingqi lowered her head and seemed to be deep in thought.
After a long time, she looked up and said, "Mom, I want to ask you for a favor."
"Go ahead."
"I want to be discharged from the hospital now."
"…"
"I want to be alone for a while and seriously consider … what suits me best! Now, it's time for me to sort out my feelings. If I drag things out, no one will be happy. "
Xu Jingya smiled knowingly and said, "Qi 'er, I just want you to know that you're my favorite daughter. No matter what you choose, I will fully support you. As long as you're happy, as long as you're happy, it will be the greatest success in my life."
Yun Jingqi opened her arms, hugged her mother's waist, and rubbed her face against her mother's chest. She took a deep breath and said, "You smell so good!"
She smiled like a child again and looked up at Xu Jingya. She rested her chin on her mother's chest and said coquettishly, "Mom, ever since I was a child … I've always liked to lean in your arms. I like the smell on your body."
Xu Jingya stroked her daughter's forehead and said, "Silly child!"
She leaned over and gently planted a kiss on her daughter's cheek. "But I love how silly you are! No matter how old you are, you'll always be my baby! "
The mother and daughter chatted warmly in the ward.
Xia Zhongcheng walked out of the ward. He looked around and saw Tong Che's figure at the staircase landing. He immediately quickened his pace … and jogged to catch up with him.
Tong Che heard the sound of footsteps and stopped in his tracks. He turned around and was a little puzzled. "Staff Officer Xia, why are you looking for me?"
Xia Zhongcheng had a bright smile on his face. "I want to have a few words with you. I won't take up too much of your time."
Tong Che pondered for a moment and said, "I really have a very important meeting! More than a hundred middle-level leaders in the Commerce Bureau are waiting for me! "
He looked at his watch and nodded. "Okay, go ahead!"
He found a secluded corner and stood there. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Xia Zhongcheng. "Actually, I have a rough idea of what you want to say. I won't stop you from pursuing Xiaoqi. I don't have the right to stop you! "
Xia Zhongcheng didn't beat around the bush. "When we were in university, I called you Teacher Tong. I really admire your knowledge. Although I've graduated with a doctorate and have seen many instructors over the years, I have to admit … I've never seen anyone more outstanding academically than you. You are indeed a genius!"
Staff Officer Xia smiled faintly …
He made a big U-turn. "However, I really don't agree with your character! I don't mean to pry into your privacy, but that day when we had dinner at Head Of Yun's house, I also saw that you and Tian … Forget it, I'm not interested in your love life. What I want to say is, as a man, can you be a little more straightforward? "
"…"
"If you don't like Yun Jingqi, or if you think that she makes you tired, or if you think that you don't deserve her, no matter what you think … just give her two simple words: No! Five words: Stop dreaming! Isn't that the end of the matter? She's a girl and she's spent all her youth on you. What are you waiting for? "
"…"
"Your gentleness and gentleness … are not used in the right place. You're afraid that rejecting Yun Jingqi directly will make her sad. In fact, this is a disguised form of tying her down. In my opinion, it's as if you're two-timing."
Tong Che's face darkened. "What am I two-timing? It's not up to you to comment on how I deal with my love life! Everyone in this world thinks differently. My age and experience are completely different. You have no right to ask me … to solve the problem according to your way of thinking! "
Tong Che was quite scary when he was angry. He reached out and pushed Xia Zhongcheng away … without saying anything, he directly walked past him.
When he went downstairs … he walked in a hurry and almost sprained his ankle.

After Mi Xaing 'er finished school …
Unexpectedly, she saw Ni Dahai at the gate.
Ni Dahai was trying to act cool … On a cold day, he was wearing a short leather jacket and standing proudly beside his "Crown" car. He was smoking while sneakily looking at the passing female students.
Mi Xaing 'er greeted him with a smile. "What are you doing? Are you going to focus on training a few girls? "
Ni Dahai sniffed hard … He probably caught a cold. "Tch, I'm not saying this, but there aren't many beautiful girls in your university! What's that saying again? Beauty and brains can't coexist! I've been looking at them for a long time, and most of the girls are ugly … "
He quickly added, "You're the exception! You're the only one who looks good! "
Mi Xaing 'er almost laughed. "Stop joking around. Why are you looking for me?"
Ni Dahai threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stamped it out. Then, he opened the car door. "Get in! I'll tell you slowly. "
Mi Xaing 'er was a little hesitant … After school, she wanted to go home to see the kids. "Make it short. I still have things to do at home."
Ni Dahai smiled awkwardly. "Your Head Of Yun hasn't gotten off work yet, right? They're going back to be lovey-dovey. "
Without waiting for her answer, he changed the topic. "I forgot to ask, how's Second Sister's injury? I heard … she's already awake and is fine. "
"Who did you hear that from?"
"Tian Xiner."
"You two keep in touch quite frequently."
Gu Dahai sighed. "I pity her."
Mi Xaing 'er pursed her lips. "She doesn't need your pity."
"Enough! Enough! Let's not talk about her anymore! "
Gu Dahai took a step closer to Mi Xaing 'er. "I really have something to talk to you about. I want to bring you to meet someone."
"Who? Why are you being so secretive? "
Ni Dahai lowered his voice. "Do you remember that we once received an American economic and trade group? Oh, it was actually a person! You even had a drinking contest with that foreigner just to get a photo? "
Huh?
Mi Xaing 'er was stunned. "You mean Chen Jiaxuan?"
