love addiction

"You came back so early today? Are you done with work?" Yan Xiao asked with concern as he approached.

"No." Qiao Xingchun shook his head.

With a puzzled smile, "Then why did you come back early?"

Qiao Xingchun was looking at her with burning eyes, and there was a faint light in his eyes, "I want to see you, so I'm back."

Yan Xiao froze for a moment, then laughed, "Is that so? Then shall I give you a passionate kiss?"

"If possible, I don't mind." His enthusiasm for her has always been taken as he wants.

Yan Xiao leaned over and kissed him on the lips, then quickly retreated.

　This kind of behavior made Qiao Xingchun's eyes even hotter, but he could clearly see the playfulness in Yan Xiao's eyes, and knew that she was playing tricks on him, but he had nothing to do with her, he could only sigh inwardly.

Yan Xiao sat down on a chair in the yard and poured himself a glass of water. It was obviously a very simple action, but in Qiao Xingchun's eyes, he felt very tempting.

Especially when she raised her head slightly to drink water, the way her throat moved slightly made Qiao Xingchun's mouth dry.

He could only use his strong stopping power to force his eyes to leave her beautiful neck, look elsewhere, and said with a fixed gaze, "Shangguan Siyu is the daughter of Shangguan Heng, also the sister of Shangguan Siqiao. You and Shangguan Siqiao are best friends, you should know her sister, right?"

Yan Xiao paused for a moment while drinking water, as if he didn't understand why this man mentioned Shangguan Siyu.

But she didn't interrupt, just waited patiently.

Qiao Xingchun is a person with a very careful logical thinking, it is impossible for him to mention this person for no reason.

"Six years ago, at my suggestion, City S established the Chamber of Commerce, and I became the president of the chamber of commerce, as well as the president of the charity foundation. At that time, in the eyes of my parents, I had reached the age of marriage. People in our circle are basically married in business, including my parents. They are also married in business. Although I haven't taken over Qiao's with full power, I already have a certain status in the industry. Uncle Shangguan proposed a marriage. My father agreed, because no matter how you look at it, the marriage between the Qiao family and the Shangguan family is a win-win decision."

Qiao Xingchun explained slowly, and his eyes slowly turned from where he was just now to Yan Xiao's eyes.

There is something called sincerity in his eyes, and his words and smiles are very real.

He paused and continued, "Father is an arbitrary person, he will not ask for my opinion, as long as he thinks it is appropriate, he will ask me to accept it, I did not refuse at that time, because I have no opinion on marriage and love Thoughts, since the parents are satisfied and it is helpful to the career, they accepted this arrangement and met with Shangguan Siyu, who is also of marriageable age, to confirm the relationship."

Yan Xiao put down the cup in his hand, his legs were already up, with an expression of me eating melon, and he kept tapping his knees with his hands.

"Aside from other things, Shangguan Siyu is indeed a very suitable person. After all, she is backed by Shangguan's family. The Qiao family and Shangguan's family are complementary business territories in S City. After we confirmed the relationship, we met several times. , have eaten a few times, and attended a few banquets, in the eyes of others, we should be a very suitable couple." Qiao Xingchun continued.

He didn't mean to hide anything, although he didn't know what consequences would be brought if he confessed to Yan Xiao like this.

Yan Xiao had a lazy expression on his face, showing no joy or anger.

"Later, I had an accident and lost my leg. I was lying in the hospital in extreme despair. I once wanted to end my life." Qiao Xingchun's hand on the armrest of the wheelchair has slowly tightened.

After all, it was the darkest moment in his life. He never mentioned it to anyone, and he carried it all the time by himself.

This is the first time he has mentioned it to anyone, and even though it has been so many years, the suffering and pain still make him very uncomfortable.

Yan Xiao paused for a moment when he tapped his knee, a trace of distress flashed in his eyes.

Despair is different for everyone, so no one can empathize with it.

But Yan Xiao felt sorry for the darkness he experienced, and even wanted to do something for him.

After Qiao Xingchun worked hard to overcome the torment in his heart, he continued, "During that time, it was the darkest moment in my life. I refused to see anyone, including my parents. I was exiling my life, and even thought that I was going to do this After a lifetime, then..."

He had a lump in his throat, and it took a lot of restraint to suppress the lump, "Later, Shangguan Siyu, a very right girlfriend in the eyes of outsiders, appeared in my ward, on the fifth day after my accident. She came to tell me to break up with me when I was six months old. At that time, I lost interest in everything, even in life. As soon as she mentioned it, I agreed. After all, if she didn’t mention it, I would brought it up, and then we're done."

He slowly loosened his clenched fists, took a deep breath before continuing, "I was discharged after eight months in the hospital. When I lived here, I kept avoiding everyone, except Cheng Yu who took care of me. I don’t want to see each other, and I don’t care about the world, I have been living like this without any interest or purpose until..."

He looked at her, his pained gaze was stained with hope again, and became warm again, "It wasn't until I met you that I had new goals and hopes, and the dawn of living, and the first A taste of love for once."

Yan Xiao shook his hands slightly, and secretly scolded himself in his heart.

It's not a young girl anymore. She has heard the confession hundreds of times, yet she still trembles because of Qiao Xingchun's confession.

She secretly suppressed the tension in her heart, tried to pretend to be very calm and said, "Then you should thank me well?"

After all, she gave him a taste of love.

***
When Yan Xiao told Shangguan Siqiao about this at night, Shangguan Siqiao almost sprayed her to death.

"I fucking know why you've been single for so many years? If someone confesses to you, do you want someone to thank you?" Shangguan Siqiao said in a tone of hatred.

Yan Xiao said weakly, "I was also nervous at the time, and my words were insincere."

"Nervous! Nervous! Who said that when you meet someone you like, you can't kiss until you die? Why don't you do it now?"

"Cough cough..."

"You, swift, hurry up and throw Brother Qiao down! You're welcome!"

Yan Xiao slipped weakly.

When Cheng Yu came back, he felt that the atmosphere was very subtle again, but it was not as low as before, but a very strange state.

Ms. Yan, who was usually carefree, talked less now, her face was flushed, her voice was softer, and she was still making dinner.

Young Master Qiao, who is usually cold and icy, is now... even colder.

Of course, this is not too strange, the strangest thing is that Qiao Xingchun is reading in the living room!

He usually reads in the study room, but for some reason today, he took the book to the living room to read.

Let's just read it, that book...is even held upside down.

Cheng Yu didn't have the guts to remind Young Master Qiao, so he just stood there silently without speaking or making a sound.

After Yan Xiao made dinner and told them to eat, Cheng Yu went to push Qiao Xingchun to the table to eat.

Dinner was also... weird.

Yan Xiao picked up food for Qiao Xingchun, and Qiao Xingchun ate it without saying a word.

Even if there were dishes that he didn't eat, he would eat them without squinting.

Cheng Yu thought for a while, but he finished his meal quickly and slipped away after saying that he still had something to do.

Yan Xiao cleaned up the dishes, and Qiao Xingchun went over to change the water for the flowers she had inserted earlier.

When Yan Xiao said it was finished, he was cleaning up the withered flowers.

He lifted it with both hands, holding the vase with one hand, and picking the withered petals with the other.

Those hands, which are so perfect to see, are glowing white under the light.

And those bright wrists, because of thinness, the bones on the wrists are more obvious than others, a little slender, but very beautiful.

When those hands are playing the piano, they are very beautiful, like dancing on the piano, which is a kind of artistic beauty in itself.

Yan Xiao saw the fragrant bead on her wrist, paused, then hurried out the door and trotted all the way to the studio.

After a while, she came back again, holding a new fragrance bead in her hand, walked over and took Qiao Xingchun's hand and said, "I'll change the fragrance bead for you."

Qiao Xingchun's knuckle-boned hand was held by her, and his hand was a little cold, so Yan Xiao covered it with his hands and rubbed it, and lowered his head to breathe, while breathing, he muttered, "It's summer, why are your hands so cold? "

When she felt that his hands were not so cold, she replaced them with the incense beads she had brought.

She is very skilled in knotting gestures, and she should be doing these incense bead bracelets a lot.

After wearing it, she let go of his hand and said, "It's still early, let's learn piano tonight, I want to learn Moonlight Forest."

Qiao Xingchun raised his eyebrows in surprise, and reminded her, "This piece is not easy to play."

Not to mention a novice, even a veteran, it is difficult to handle this piece well.

Yan Xiao didn't take it seriously, "Anyway, you taught me, so it's because you're too stupid."

"What kind of fallacy is this?" Qiao Xingchun laughed.

"Have you never heard of it? There are no students who can't teach, only teachers who can't teach." She blinked and smiled brightly.

Qiao Xingchun was helpless and pampered, "Okay, I will definitely teach you."

The sound of the piano, which had been stopped for two nights, sounded again. Cheng Yu wiped the sweat from his brow, thinking, it should be all right now, right?

In the evening, Cheng Yu delivered medicine to Qiao Xingchun, and found that he hadn't taken the medicine last night. Cheng Yu asked worriedly, "Master, why didn't you take this medicine...why didn't you take it?"

Qiao Xingchun looked at the medicine firmly, and said lightly, "Forgot."

Cheng Yu blushed for a while, can he forget about taking medicine?

If it was someone else, it would be reasonable, but if Qiao Xingchun didn't take medicine, he couldn't bear it at all.

If it is mild, it will be so painful that it is difficult to sleep, and if it is severe, it will roll all over the floor...

After all, Cheng Yu had seen this scene before, and he still had lingering fears in his heart.

But Qiao Xingchun has been quite quiet these two nights, and there is nothing unusual. Could it be that he has been gritting his teeth and carrying it?

Cheng Yu became worried, and said nervously, "Young Master, if you feel uncomfortable, don't hold on."

"Hold on? I didn't hold on." Qiao Xingchun replied indifferently.

But Cheng Yu felt that he was pretending to be self-improving, so he said understandingly, "I know you are afraid of scaring Ms. Yan, but your body is your own. I believe Ms. Yan can understand you. Don't always be alone. Carry it, we are all here, and Miss Yan will be there too, I can see that Miss Yan is not a woman like Miss Shangguan, so you don't have to worry."

Cheng Yu muttered a lot, but in exchange for Qiao Xingchun's dull answer, "I didn't push myself hard, and I didn't carry it."

"Then this medicine..." Should I take it or not?
Cheng Yu didn't dare to continue asking, wondering whether Qiao Xingchun's words were true or not.

But the truth is, Qiao Xingchun really didn't take medicine, didn't hold on, let alone carry it.

In this situation, he was also very surprised. He looked at the medicine in Cheng Yu's hand, thought about it, and made a decision.
