There are not many items to be re-examined, mainly to check how the postoperative recovery is and whether there are any adhesions in the organs, so the results of the examination come out quickly, and all indicators are normal.

Holding the test sheet, Xie Jingchi chatted with Director Wen again.

He thought Director Wen would repeat the same thing this time, emphasizing what he had said thousands of times before, but this time Director Wen did not play his cards according to common sense.

Director Wen said, "There are very few opportunities in a person's life to regret and start over, and you have used it once. I hope time will prove that your choice is not wrong."

Xie Jingchi is not stupid, of course he understands that this is a kind of veiled blessing and reminder.

He collected the medical records and medical card, stood up, "Thank you."

The place for lunch was pre-booked by Qin Shen. The main course and soup were both to Xie Jingchi's liking. The only fly in the ointment was that the volcanic ice cream after the meal was replaced with a caramel almond tart.

It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to the hotel, the first thing Xie Jingchi did when he came back was to change his clothes and take a shower.

When he changed into light and soft pajamas, dried his wet hair and came out of the bathroom, he was surprised to find that Qin Shen was still there.

"Is everything okay in your company?"

In his impression, Qin Shen has countless trivial matters to deal with every day, and it is very rare to be able to allocate half a day like this to him on non-rest days.

"Didn't you agree to help you move in the afternoon?" Qin Shen on the sofa raised his head from the screen, staring at him without blinking, "Or do you want to stay here for a few more days?"

Xie Jingchi felt a little guilty when he looked at him, turned his head and whispered, "I...I thought you would call someone."

After the operation, his physical strength was not as good as before, he was easily fatigued and tired, and he suffered from headaches at the slightest disturbance.

I spent the whole morning in the hospital tossing and tossing, and finally returned to the place where I stayed, and the tense string in my body suddenly relaxed.

"Then when will your people come?" Standing easily, his legs were sore, he sat beside Qin Shen, and asked wearily.

Seeing him coming, Qin Shen simply put the notebook aside, hugged him and let him lean against him, "What time do you want them to come?"

"I don't know." Xie Jingchi couldn't think fast, and even spoke several times slower than usual.

During these times, he gradually developed the habit of taking a nap. At this moment, under the double influence of the biological clock and the fatigue after going out, he was already too sleepy to keep his eyes open.

Relying on treating the symptoms but not the root cause like this, he pushed Qin Shen's shoulder and asked him to let go of himself, "I'll go to sleep." But if I go to sleep now, I don't know when I will get up, "Remember to call me before dark .”

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Qin Shen unplugged the laptop, obviously planning to move it.

"Is it okay?" After Xie Jingchi asked, he suddenly realized that this was too much, in order to hide his embarrassment, he turned his back, "You ask me what to do, there is only one bed, I can't let you sleep, right? ?”

The bedroom is connected with the small living room, Xie Jingchi pressed the remote control, and the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling windows gradually closed.

The room returned to darkness and silence, he glanced in the direction of the living room, his heart was full of bewilderment.

As long as they didn't sign the divorce agreement, he and Qin Shen were still partners in the legal sense.Since when did Qin Shen want to sleep in the same bed with him and need to ask his opinion?

When Qin Shen came in with the computer in his arms, he was already lying down.

The quilt covered most of his face, only a pair of eyes were exposed.Qin Shen didn't have pajamas here, and he came back too late last night, so he was forced to experience naked sleeping.

Xie Jingchi watched Qin Shen take off his clothes in an orderly manner.

Qin Shen's fingers are very long, even such a small matter as unbuttoning can be done pleasing to the eye and suitable for IKEA.

"Should I order room service and ask them to buy one for you?" Xie Jingchi whispered a bad idea to him.

Qin Shen took off his shirt.It's hard to see when he's wearing the clothes, but after taking them off, his advantages of wide shoulders and long legs are infinitely enlarged.

Although they don't live together all the time, Xie Jingchi has seen him practice boxing and Sanda, and knows what kind of power is hidden under these lean muscles.

"Don't worry." Qin Shen glanced at him, and came over to lift the quilt beside him, "I don't know how to do anything, just sleep with you."

"No..." Before Xie Jingchi finished speaking, his eyes were covered by the person next to his pillow.

"Sleep, I'll be with you."

Although Xie Jingchi didn't want to admit it, he might have been spoiled a little by this person.

In the past few years, his problem with bed recognition has become more and more serious, and he becomes more and more homesick when he is in a strange environment.

From the first day he stayed in the hotel, he complained from time to time in his heart that the hotel mattress was too soft, the quilt was too heavy, the pillows were not fluffy enough, and the detergent smelled too greasy.

Until today, with another person lying next to him, he found that none of this was a big deal.

The warm body was leaning against him, and he quietly wrapped his legs under the quilt as if he was trying to get an inch under the quilt.

Qin Shen was leaning against the bed, wearing a pair of flat glasses that protected against radiation.The laptop screen glowed faintly, and his slender fingers flew over the keyboard, making occasional light clicking sounds, infinitely magnified by the silent environment.

Anyone who is sleepy and unconscious will find such noise very loud, except for Xie Jingchi.

At this moment, Xie Jingchi's uneasy heart suddenly sank.

Even though so many things happened in the middle, and so many cold receptions were received, Qin Shen was always the closest existence to home he had ever had.

Outside the French windows in the evening, layers of clouds spread continuously towards the far end of the horizon like a long-lasting wildfire.

Fortunately, it was not dark, this was the first thought that popped into Xie Jingchi's mind.

During this period of time, his sleep condition has not been very good, and it is common for him to turn his day and night upside down. He barely returned to the right track in order to attend the wedding.

Why didn't Qin Shen wake him up?His gaze shifted a few inches. Qin Shen, who was supposed to be sleeping next to him, was sitting neatly dressed not far from him, like a dark silhouette that was opaque. Not far from Qin Shen, the bedside table The drawer is open.

At this moment, Xie Jingchi's heartbeat and breathing stopped.

In the drawer was the powerful inhibitor brought to him by Manager Zhao, the spare blocker he bought himself, the medicines prescribed to him by Director Wen, and...a bottle of diazepam that was more than half eaten. Pan.

As if afraid that the stimulation would not be enough, the bottle happened to be held in Qin Shen's hand.

Qin Shen looked at it very carefully, and even opened it to see how much room there was left inside.

Extreme panic and uneasiness strangled Xie Jingchi's throat at the same time. It was as if his worst secret had been exposed, and he no longer harbored any chances.

He wanted to pretend to be asleep, but he was caught off guard by those deep lake-like pupils.

"Actually, I knew it a long time ago." Qin Shen put down the recapped bottle in his hand, and said flatly, "There was a time when you were anxious during the day and couldn't sleep at night, and your mental stress was so great that you went to the psychiatric department several times. I know it all."

Xie Jingchi, who thought he was doing it very covertly, opened his eyes wide in surprise.

"When did you know?" he said awkwardly.

"Probably the day you went to register, I received the notification, and every night, you thought I was asleep, but I was actually watching you from behind." Looking at the angle against the light, most of Qin Shen's face was pale. Submerged in the shadows, unable to see the expression on his face clearly, "Xie Jingchi, I am your Alpha, why do you think I know nothing about it?"

From his words, Xie Jingchi discovered an obvious truth, "You make people stare at me, don't you?"

"Yes." Qin Shen admitted readily, "I said before that I have a very abnormal desire to control you. Whether you realize it or not, these are not jokes."

"Then what I'm doing..."

"I knew it from the beginning." Qin Shen said with a bit of self-mockery, "Not only did I know, but I also knew where you hit a wall."

Xie Jingchi forgot what he was going to say, and looked at him speechlessly.

"I've been waiting for you to ask me for help, so that I can help you logically." Qin Shen smiled slightly, and there was an indescribable sadness and loneliness in the smile, "But you never did."

His throat was very dry.

"Why can't I? You will go to Jiang Lian, Qian Shou, Lu Xu... I am the one who has the closest relationship with you, but I can only watch you jump into the fire pit of Xie Shi .”

Qin Shen turned around, it was difficult for Xie Jingchi to define his expression at the moment.

Like a collection of all negative emotions, gloomy, paranoid, violent... and a little bit sad.

"You clearly promised me that you would draw a line with those people and stay only with me."

Xie Jingchi remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

The day before they went to register, he promised Qin Shen that he would not have any more entanglements with those people.

He really wanted to fulfill this promise, until he discovered the truth behind Jiang Xingyun's death.

Jiang Xingyun did not die of illness but was murdered, but the murderer is still at large.

The hatred formed by blood cannot be easily erased, and as a son of man, he cannot turn a blind eye.

But even with such a good reason, it cannot erase the fact that he did not keep his word.

He lowered his eyes and admitted his broken promise, "I'm sorry."

Qin Shen was not a little happier because of his apology, "Xie Jingchi, I didn't want to condemn you, I just kept thinking, why can't you trust me more."

"Because..." Xie Jingchi wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain.

He knew the reason why he didn't go to Qin Shen, but he couldn't say it.

Qin Shen never expected him to answer his question so easily, "I have thought about many possibilities. Could it be that you discovered my abnormal desires for you, could it be that the things I did made me You feel suffocated... I was afraid to offend you, and I was even more afraid to expose my true nature, so I could only endure it twice, and in the end, I still did the same thing as my father."

Qin Shen was referring to the incident in which he joined hands with Xie Yushu to acquire Xie's shares, and voted against him at the shareholders' meeting, which resulted in the failure of a series of proposals proposed by him.

"I won't apologize. It's useless to apologize, because even if there is no letter of thanks, I will not allow you to join the board of directors of Xie."

Xie Jingchi hated strong sunlight, but Qin Shen covered most of it for him.

Qin Shen lowered his head, his tall nose almost brushed Xie Jingchi's, "Why?"

Xie Jingchi didn't dare to blink, let alone move.

He seemed to have fallen into a bottomless lake again, sank slowly in the water, and drowned.

"What and why?" He felt that he was pretending to be stupid and asked knowingly, but after asking, he found that he really didn't know anything.

"I was thinking, since you can accept all my dark and twisted desires for you, why can't you trust me a little more? What did I do wrong to make you feel so insecure about me?" Qin Shen's thin lips parted Kai He He, "I can't figure it out, can you answer me why there was a gap between us overnight?"

"I..." Xie Jingchi cleared his throat, "I'm a little thirsty."

He pushed Qin Shen away not too hard, and got out of bed as if to escape.

The bar is not far from the bedroom.

Xie Jingchi stepped barefoot on the cold wooden floor, and went to pour himself a glass of mineral water without ice.

He was so distracted that the cup almost fell out of his hand, but someone grabbed his trembling wrist and stabilized him.

With the man's help he drank water, quenched the thirst in his throat, and put the empty glass back on the bar.

After the cup was put down, a pair of arms stretched out from behind, passed through his armpits, wrapped around his chest, and slowly tightened.

The moment the warm chest was pressed against him, his whole body was stiff, until the familiar pheromone breath wrapped his whole body inside, then he relaxed his body, and slowly fell into this person's embrace.

"You don't even make a sound when you walk." Xie Jingchi complained softly, but there wasn't much blame in his tone, it was more like acting like a baby with the other party.

Qin Shen didn't speak, but buried his face in his neck, breathing in the soft and lingering fragrance of his body.

Aromas of rose and lychee mixed with a bit of blocker bitter almond, but more addictive than any of them.

"Director Wen wants to talk to you in the morning, what did he tell you?"

For Qin Shen's almost abnormal performance, Xie Jingchi thought about it and there was only one possibility.

"It's nothing." Qin Shen's voice was muffled.

Xie Jingchi shook his head, "I don't believe it, he must have told you something."

"Really, he just told me, I want to take good care of you, and I can't make you suffer any more." Qin Shen's lips brushed against his sensitive glands, and the itching made him tremble subconsciously, "I'm sorry, Xie Jingchi, I used to be too self-righteous."

Omega needs the care and love from Alpha, especially Xie Jingchi, who lived in indifference and hostility since childhood.

Xie Jingchi needs a lot of love, enough to fill the void in his heart.

"Xiao Chi." He called Xie Jingchi's nickname loudly, "My Xiao Chi."

"Yeah." In the past, he would only call him this name in bed, but Xie Jingchi's ears felt hot when he called him, "Stop calling me."

"Why not?" Qin Shen asked back, "Or do you want me to call you something else?"

Xie Jingchi's skin was fair, and the red spots behind his ears couldn't be hidden at all, "Don't you think... a little gross?"

"I really almost lost you." Qin Shen's voice was a little hoarse.

"Qin Shen, you don't need to feel guilty. According to the situation at that time, the mark must be washed off." Sensitive places are controlled by others, and Xie Jingchi stopped after saying a word, "And I did hide a lot of things from you , so our relationship has become like that... It's not your problem alone."

"Then can you rely on me a little more?"

Xie Jingchi was silent for a long time, so long that Qin Shen also noticed the uneasiness.

"Qin Shen, I still feel that everything is just like a dream." He trembled all over, "There is no sense of reality at all."

"It's not a dream." Qin Shen refuted him recklessly, "It's nothing, and neither is my love for you."

Xie Jingchi said in a low voice, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just..."

"only?"

Xie Jingchi lowered his head, the fingers of his hand on the bar nervously closed and opened, repeated many times, and finally clenched tightly into a fist.

The nails sank into the flesh, and the tingling gave him the courage to continue down.

"Can you tell me where I am not suitable?"

The man holding him stiffened.He let out a breath slowly, "Also... If it wasn't for me, who would you wish was the person you were engaged to at the beginning?"

The deathly silence lasted for a long time.

Xie Jingchi tried to break Qin Shen's hand holding him, but Qin Shen's strength was much stronger than his, his little resistance was like a fly shaking a tree.

Facing Qin Shen's series of questioning, he was also very tired, and he didn't want to hide anything.

"You said, for you, I am not a suitable person, and you hope that person will never be me..."

Every time Xie Jingchi said a word, the man behind him became quieter.

Gradually, he became silent and stopped repeating those hurtful words.

"Sorry, I overheard your conversation with Grandpa. I didn't mean to, but I just overheard."

It's like one long, waking nightmare.

He thought he could learn to let go, but in fact he never forgot one day.

He is really a despicable existence who cares about every detail and must pay back—why turn over old accounts at such a tender time?Why are you still chasing something that happened so long ago?Isn't it enough for Qin Shen to love him now?

In fact, he has always been very clear that at first Qin Shen agreed to take care of him out of sympathy and pity.

In the year when the marriage contract was made, he was so young, not even an adult, so he was not a suitable partner no matter what.

He has no way to help Qin Shen, and even needs Qin Shen to take care of him in turn.

"It's not your fault." Qin Shen's breathing became disordered, "No."

Xie Jingchi wanted to say don't comfort him, he is not so fragile, but he couldn't say it.

Reopening the old wounds was more painful than he thought, so painful that he had to use self-torture to calm down.

"I was the one who was wrong." Qin Shen choked up, "Go home with me first. I will explain this matter to you from the beginning..."

Something wet fell on the back of Xie Jingchi's neck, and Qin Shen murmured, "No one is better than you."

The moment he realized what it was, Xie Jingchi's eyes widened.

He wanted to turn back, but Qin Shen hugged him tightly.

The warm wetness spread around his neck, almost burning him.

"No one is better than you, Xie Jingchi, you can't leave me, if you accept me like this, you can't leave me."

At this moment, Xie Jingchi's heart was like a clearing after heavy snowfall, completely empty.

"You can punish me as much as you want, this is your right, I beg you, don't punish yourself with my mistakes."
