He Shaochen's Difficulties
"It's already very late. You don't have to see me off anymore." Xu Anting said to Qiao Qiao beside him.
Qiao Qiao shook her head. "I'll see you off again. If I go back early, Freya will probably lecture me again."
As she said that, Qiao Qiao looked at Xu Anting suspiciously. Although she knew that Xu Anting was very charming, she didn't expect that Freya, who even He Shaochen couldn't handle, would actually have special feelings for Xu Anting.
For example, tonight.
If it were any other day, Freya would definitely grumble if she came out so late. However, today she specially asked her to see Xu Anting off in private.
It really reached the point where everyone knew what Sima Zhao was thinking.
"Haha, auntie is really good to me." Xu Anting smiled.
Qiao Qiao heard this and was slightly embarrassed. She blinked her amber eyes and said awkwardly, "Professor Xu, if you call Freya 'auntie' in front of her, I don't think she'll be happy."
Women were always obsessed with their own age.
This was especially true for a woman as beautiful as Freya.
Xu Anting also realized that he said something wrong. He laughed dryly. "You women are really obsessed with your age. However, if Freya doesn't say her age, everyone will probably think that she's a teenage girl."
"Haha, it's okay to say this in front of Freya." Qiao Qiao covered her mouth and laughed.
Xu Anting looked at Qiao Qiao's laughing face and his gaze became gentler. Sure enough, she was the most suitable to laugh.
A few days ago, Qiao Qiao lost her soul and was like a walking corpse. She was a completely different person.
After this incident, Xu Anting silently made a decision in his heart.
When they reached the end of the street, Xu Anting's car was parked there. He said, "Let's stop here. I'll drive back."
The weather was getting colder and colder. Qiao Qiao was wearing less clothes. She had gone out for a walk, and now her hands and feet were cold. She couldn't help but rub her hands and breathe. When she heard Xu Anting's words and saw the car not far away, she nodded and said, "Then I'll drop you off here. Professor Xu, be careful on the road."
Xu Anting saw Qiao Qiao pacing back and forth in the same place. Her deer-like eyes always had some innocent expression, which made people want to love her tenderly. He couldn't help but smile. He took off the scarf around his neck and was about to put it on Qiao Qiao.
Qiao Qiao was stunned. She quickly moved back and said, "Professor Xu, I don't need …"
Xu Anting took Qiao Qiao's hand and moved closer to her. He smiled gently and said, "Put it on. It's cold now, and there's still a long way to go. You'll feel warmer if you put it on."
As he said that, he put his scarf on Qiao Qiao. He didn't allow her to refuse.
Qiao Qiao still wanted to refuse. "Then what about you?"
"I'm about to get in the car, so I don't need it. It's better to leave the scarf for someone who needs it." Xu Anting smiled and swept away all of Qiao Qiao's worries.
Qiao Qiao had never been able to resist this kind of smile.
Moreover, Xu Anting's words were clear and logical. She couldn't refute him at all. She silently complained in her heart, "The professor is indeed a professor. He's not on the same level as us newbies."
"Then I'll accept your offer. Thank you, Professor Xu."
Qiao Qiao grabbed the outer edge of Xu Anting's scarf. It still carried Xu Anting's scent. She didn't know why, but she felt very uncomfortable.
"Then I'll be leaving first." Xu Anting got into the car.
Qiao Qiao stood beside him and waved at Xu Anting. "Okay, Professor Xu. Be careful on the road."
After Xu Anting left, Qiao Qiao walked back. However, she didn't know that a pair of eyes had been staring at her.
He Shaochen reluctantly withdrew his gaze after Qiao Qiao returned to the villa and closed the door. He thought about the scarf around Qiao Qiao's neck. It was an eyesore no matter how he looked at it.
The scene of Xu Anting putting the scarf around Qiao Qiao's neck appeared in his mind. His face suddenly became gloomy. He said to Qin Dong, "Drive."
The next day, Qiao Qiao suddenly received 100 scarves of various styles and colors. They were all high-quality products that had just come on the market.
Qiao Qiao was so scared that she thought that it was a salesman selling fishing. She directly rejected it.
That day, Ling Yu walked into He Shaochen's CEO's office and found that the small sofa in the CEO's office was filled with all kinds of scarves. He Shaochen was looking at the hundreds of scarves with a dark face and deep in thought.

Time passed little by little.
One night.
He Shaochen's cold disease broke out. This time, it was unprecedentedly fast and violent.
"Pa!"
The glass shattered on the floor. He Shaochen leaned against the sink and covered his mouth. He coughed violently and coughed up a lot of blood.
His body was getting colder and colder. It was so cold that it penetrated his bones. It was as if he could freeze to death at any time.
Medicine, he had to take medicine.
He Shaochen hugged his arms tightly and staggered out of the bathroom. He went to the living room to get the medicine. The medicine was on the table in the living room. He could reach it with his hand.
He grabbed the medicine bottle and looked at the white pills inside.
Suddenly, the attending doctor's long sigh flashed in his mind. "The more you take the special medicine, the faster your life will shorten."
He Shaochen threw away the pills as if he had been electrocuted. However, the cold in his body was hard to suppress. He was like an addict. Without the opium, he was in so much pain that he wanted to convulse. His whole body felt like it was being bitten by thousands of ants.
Cold, he really couldn't stand the cold. He wanted to use his willpower to fight against the cold disease. However, his vision became more and more blurry. It was as if he would lose consciousness at any time.
He leaned against the sofa with difficulty and gasped for breath. However, he couldn't suppress his manic mood. He wanted to destroy everything and kill people. At this moment, he only wanted to vent the violent factors in his heart.
As the cold intensified, his consciousness gradually dissipated.
Qiao Qiao.
I really want to see you now …
However, it was no longer possible. She would never appear in time when his cold disease relapsed. She would also never show him the same smile as she did with Xu.
Who asked him to hurt her so deeply? Now, he didn't even have the right to beg for forgiveness.
Suddenly, a hand gently rested on He Shaochen's shoulder. He was stunned. He heard a gentle voice. "Sir, why are you …"
Halfway through, the voice changed. "Shaochen, Shaochen, what's wrong?"
Qiao Qiao?
He Shaochen was stunned. He turned around and saw "Qiao Qiao" standing behind him. She looked at him with a worried face. She asked with concern, "Shaochen, what's wrong?"
"Qiao Qiao?"
He Shaochen was like a refugee who had encountered an oasis in the desert. He hugged "Qiao Qiao" tightly and murmured, "I knew you would come back to me. I knew …"
"Shaochen?"
The other party's body stiffened. She didn't hug He Shaochen back. It was as though she had turned into a stone statue due to the shock.
However, He Shaochen didn't care about such a change in her smile. He couldn't wait to speak his mind. "Qiao Qiao, I only love you. From the beginning to the end, you're the only one I've ever loved. I only feel sorry for Andol. Really …"
Why did he abandon Qiao Qiao and leave with Andol? Even he didn't know.
He only remembered seeing Andol take the bullet. He was shocked. It was as though there was a voice in his head controlling him. His body couldn't help but move. At that time, he only remembered Andol and forgot that his wife was still in danger.
Later, when he heard Andol's confession, the guilt in his heart suddenly became limitless. When Andol died, he really had the illusion that the world was falling apart.
It was as though there was no meaning in living in this world.
He even had the urge to die with Andol.
When he faced Qiao Qiao, he didn't think through his words and said many outrageous things to Qiao Qiao. Later, when he thought about it, he even had the heart to beat himself to death.
After he left the hospital and gradually calmed down, the strong sense of guilt towards Andol disappeared without a trace. Even Andol's death became insignificant.
He Shaochen felt a sense of crisis from this drastic change in his state of mind. He immediately went to see his attending doctor. The result was unexpected.
He originally thought that he had half a year to live, but because of the frequent use of new special drugs, his life was shortened to less than three months. The sudden blow directly broke his will.
When he found out that he had less than three months to live, this blow caused him to have a strong sense of world-weariness. His emotions became more and more extreme, and he lost confidence in everything. As a result, he spent the next week in a daze, only hoping that he could numb his nerves with alcohol.
This state only ended when Freya and Qiao Qiao appeared.
Perhaps because his attention was diverted, the strong sense of world-weariness disappeared without a trace. Now, even though he knew that he only had three months to live, there was no wave in his heart. His feelings seemed to have been formatted.
At this moment, He Shaochen truly realized the real impact of the two drugs that caused his cold symptoms to take a turn for the worse.
He was extremely allergic.
Magnifying a certain emotion infinitely, which was often referred to as paranoia.
But it was different from ordinary paranoia because he wasn't always paranoia. It was just that when his emotions were too extreme, this emotion would be magnified.
For example, now when he saw Qiao Qiao.
"I'm not asking you to forgive me, but I hate it when you smile at that Xu guy. Every time I see it, I feel so irritated that I want to kill someone. Qiao Qiao, you can only be mine, only mine … I beg you, don't smile at that Xu guy …"
The other party still didn't respond.
He Shaochen looked up and saw that "Qiao Qiao" was still smiling gently, quietly listening to him explain everything, listening to his willful and domineering declaration.
It seemed that he hadn't seen her so gentle in a long time.
He wanted to touch her, wanted to be closer to her, a little closer, a little closer.
He Shaochen suddenly pushed her to the ground and kissed her lips so eagerly. As he kissed, he murmured, "Qiao Qiao, I love you, I love you … I only love you … I only love you … only you …"
"I love you …"
"I love you …"
In the face of such a passionate confession, the other party only smiled. Other than that, there was no reaction at all.
She was like a lifelike puppet.
He Shaochen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed by such a reaction. He looked up and held "Qiao Qiao" face, like a child who didn't get candy, and said sadly, "Qiao Qiao, why don't you talk to me? Are you still angry at me for abandoning you? "
Sure enough, this kind of ridiculous explanation couldn't be understood and trusted.
"Qiao Qiao" continued to smile.
So gentle and tolerant. This was clearly He Shaochen's ideal Qiao Qiao at this moment.
The other party suddenly reached out a hand and stroked his cheek. Just this simple action made He Shaochen go wild with joy. Like a child who got candy, he hugged the other party tightly, leaned on the other party's shoulder, and said happily, "Qiao Qiao, are you willing to forgive me? I knew it, I knew it … "
"I love you …"
"Qiao Qiao, I love you …"
