At first I said no.
Qiao Qiao opened the door and saw He Shaochen drunk. She refused at first.
She narrowed her eyes and looked at Ling Yu, who was supporting He Shaochen. Ling Yu's face was also a little unnatural. Then, he laughed dryly and said, "Young Madam, He Shao is drunk."
"I'm not blind."
Everyone knew that He Shaochen was drunk.
"… Haha." Ling Yu laughed dryly and said sincerely, "I don't know why He Shao is in a bad mood today, and he drank a lot. But don't worry, there's not a single woman around him! He doesn't let other women get close to him. "
"Oh."
Qiaoqiao, who was leaning against the door, responded expressionlessly.
Perhaps because Qiao Qiao's response was too perfunctory, Ling Yu's smile became stiff. Under Qiao Qiao's cold amber eyes, he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
His scalp went numb as he said, "It's already so late. I won't disturb your rest. He Shao will be in your care."
As he spoke, he walked inside and pushed He Shaochen to Qiao Qiao.
Seeing that He Shaochen was about to fall, Qiao Qiao had no choice but to catch him. He Shaochen was so tall that Qiao Qiao was almost pressed down by him. She staggered a few steps before she steadied him.
He Shaochen's pungent smell of alcohol nearly made Qiao Qiao faint. She took a while before she recovered and glared at Ling Yu. "You guys did it on purpose, didn't you?"
Ling Yu's gaze shifted away as he said embarrassedly, "Young Madam, you're mistaken. There's no such thing."
"Hmph."
Qiao Qiao coldly snorted. How could she believe Ling Yu's nonsense? This man had always been a man of his word. If he didn't do it on purpose, why would he send He Shaochen all the way to her place? Didn't he know to send him back to Family He's main residence?
These two people were sure that she couldn't bear to do it.
"It's late. Young Madam and He Shao should sleep early. Goodnight." With that, Ling Yu left like a gust of wind.
Qiao Qiao saw Ling Yu leave so quickly that she gritted her teeth in anger. That damn fox...
She carefully supported He Shaochen and closed the door.. Freya heard the commotion and went downstairs. to see Qiao Qiao struggling to support He Shaochen into the house... Qiao Qiao Qiao, do you need my help? "
"No need." Qiao Qiao hurriedly refused. She looked at Freya apologetically and said, "Sorry, did I wake you up?"
It was already past three in the morning.
"It's fine. I was thirsty and wanted to drink some water."
Freya saw Qiao Qiao supporting He Shaochen upstairs. She walked over and said, "You really don't need my help?"
"It's really fine. He reeks of alcohol. If you get close to him, you'll definitely get stained. You won't be able to sleep well later. I can do it alone." Qiao Qiao supported He Shaochen upstairs. After a few steps, she said to Freya, "Go to sleep. Don't worry about me."
Seeing how stubborn Qiao Qiao was, Freya didn't know what to say.
She helplessly shook her head and said, "Okay. Remember to call me if you need anything."
"Okay."
Although Qiao Qiao disliked the smell of alcohol on He Shaochen's body, she still helped him to her room. Since the other bedrooms were empty, there was more or less a smell. She was afraid that He Shaochen wouldn't be able to sleep well.
Even though he was already a drunken mess.
After much difficulty, she helped He Shaochen to the bed. Qiao Qiao was sweating profusely from the heat. She panted slightly and hurriedly grabbed a wet towel to wipe his body.
When she touched He Shaochen's chest, Qiao Qiao's hand froze. She realized that his body was very cold, as if he had just returned from the South Pole. Was it because he had just returned from outside?
Qiao Qiao wasn't sure.
She touched He Shaochen's chest again to feel his heartbeat. The heartbeat was very slow.
Would a normal person's heartbeat really slow after they fell asleep? Qiao Qiao wasn't a medical student, so she didn't know much about the human body. She just remembered He Shaochen's "joke."
Only half a year to live.
Half a year.
What a terrifying number. It was frightening.
"Shaochen, what you said to me before was a lie, right? You will definitely live a long life, right?"
Qiao Qiao muttered to herself. Every time she touched He Shaochen's body, that cold touch like that of a dead person would make her tremble with fear.
Perhaps she really shouldn't continue to be in such a cold war.
She clearly cared about him so much.
If something happened to him and she wasn't by his side, what would she do?
Qiao Qiao knelt by the bed, grabbed He Shaochen's cold hand, and rubbed her face without any scruples. She sighed softly and said, "I really shouldn't have said those words to you this afternoon. I'm sorry."
Even though she knew that He Shaochen did it on purpose, she still couldn't bear to see him drowning his sorrows in alcohol.
She stared at He Shaochen for a long time and covered him with a blanket, hoping that this would warm his body. However, the effect wasn't obvious. He Shaochen's body temperature didn't rise.
This made her heart even more unsettled.
Didn't everyone say that his condition was getting better? Why was his body always so cold?
Qiao Qiao suddenly remembered that she hadn't contacted Su Yanmo for a long time. Perhaps she should ask him about the situation.
Qiao Qiao took care of He Shaochen for the rest of the night and didn't have a chance to sleep at all.
The next day.
Freya knocked on the door. Qiao Qiao yawned as she walked over to open the door and said, "Morning, Freya."
"Morning …" Freya's gaze scanned Qiao Qiao's body and said in astonishment, "Qiao Qiao, don't tell me you didn't sleep after that?"
"You can say that."
Qiao Qiao rubbed her eyes and said casually.
He Shaochen's condition made her uneasy, and she couldn't sleep.
"What's the matter?" Qiao Qiao saw that Freya was still standing there and asked.
Freya nodded and said, "Yes, didn't you ask me to investigate An Ziyan's recent movements? There's a result. "
"Oh?"
Qiao Qiao was suddenly energized. She suddenly thought of something and looked back at He Shaochen who was still sleeping soundly. She whispered, "Let's go somewhere else and let him rest more."
"Okay."
…
In the study.
"According to my people's investigation, An Ziyan hasn't been in A Country these days. Also, we found this."
Freya pushed a schedule to Qiao Qiao. On it was An Ziyan's boarding record. She said, "An Ziyan has been in C Country these days."
"I remember that Dr. Jiang is also in C Country." Qiao Qiao held the report and murmured.
"So, he did lie to you."
Although this point alone couldn't prove that An Ziyan was related to Dr. Jiang, this coincidence and his deliberate hiding of his whereabouts were suspicious enough.
"It seems that I have to meet An Ziyan." Qiao Qiao said in a low voice. She couldn't miss out on even the slightest possibility.
"His behavior is indeed very suspicious. By the way, he secretly returned to China last night. If you want to find him, I can go with you."
Freya was worried about Qiao Qiao going alone.
"Okay, I'll have to trouble you, Freya." Thinking of all the things that An Ziyan had hidden from her, she didn't dare to meet An Ziyan alone.
At this moment, He Shaochen's slow voice came from outside the room.
