Hearing this, the boss and lady boss looked up at the same time and looked in the direction of the voice. They saw a man in a black coat standing at the entrance.
The boss turned to look at the unconscious Qiao Qiao, then at the person standing at the door and asked, “Are you Miss Qiao’s friend?”
The lady boss lowered her voice and said, “That attire and that temperament. It’s obvious that he’s that person Miss Qiao is waiting for.”
The boss said, “1 think so too.’
The man walked over for a few seconds, his gaze lingering on the unconscious Qiao Qiao. As he approached, he leaned over and held Qiao Qiao’s face. It was very cold, and her lips were dark.
Worried that something would happen, he reached out and checked Qiao Qiao’s breathing. The boss said angrily, “She’s just unconscious. I was about to take her to the hospital when you came. You must be the friend Miss Qiao was waiting for, right?”
Bai Chen looked up at the boss and replied, “Yes.” His windbreaker exuded moisture, his hair was slightly disheveled, and his breathing was ragged. He must have been in a hurry on the way here. He was indeed in a hurry. He had sped over.
Bai Chen prepared to pick up the unconscious Qiao Qiao. The lady boss was more cautious. Before Bai Chen picked Qiao Qiao up, she asked, “Do you know her full name?”
Bai Chen said, ‘Qiao Qiao.”
The lady boss was relieved. “Then take her to the hospital quickly.”
Bai Chen said, “Sorry to trouble you.”
“It’s no trouble. Miss Qiao gave me money,” the boss said quickly.
Bai Chen nodded and left with Qiao Qiao in her arms.
When he came down from the seaside pavilion, the damp and salty sea breeze blew against his face. Bai Chen looked down at the person in his arms. She was not in her down jacket properly, and the wind blew in.
He quickened his pace and carried Qiao Qiao back to the car as soon as possible. But he was a step too slow. He hadn’t been far from the attic when the person in his arms moved her eyelids and her raven-black eyelashes fluttered.
Bai Chen slowed down and looked down at the person in his arms. “You’re awake.’
Qiao Qiao’s eyes were filled with confusion. She looked around and finally looked at Bai Chen. When she opened her mouth to speak, she felt as if her throat had been pierced by a knife. It was a long time before she said weakly, “Why are you here?”
Bai Chen said, “Because 1 knew you would come today, 1 specially came to look for you.”
Qiao Qiao said weakly, “Bai Chen, put me down first.”
Bai Chen did not follow her instructions and reminded her, “You’re very weak now. I’ll send you to the doctor first.” With that. he Quickened his Dace.
Qiao Qiao coughed a few times, looking very uncomfortable. “Put me down first.’
Bai Chen said, “Let’s talk in the car. You’re cold all over now. It’s like hugging ice. Go back to the car and turn on the air conditioner for you to relax.”
“I’m not going back to the car. Put me down first.”
“No way.”
“l said, put me down.” Qiao Qiao’s tone deepened a little.
Bai Chen lowered his head and met her stubborn eyes. Although he was angry, he could not keep his word because he was not someone important to her and could not control her.
The road was flat and far from the sea. The fishy wetness had faded a lot. Bai Chen didn’t put Qiao Qiao down. He carried her back to the car and stuffed her into it. Only then did he feel more at ease.
When Bai Chen leaned in to give Qiao Qiao her seatbelt, Qiao Qiao said, “I’ll hate you. I’ll hate you forever.”
Bai Chen’s hand froze.
Qiao Qiao turned to look at him. “l mean what I say.”
In the end, Bai Chen compromised and let Qiao Qiao out of the car.
However, when she got out of the car, Qiao Qiao deliberately left her phone in the car. Bai Chen saw it and was about to remind her when Qiao Qiao quickened her pace and walked back.
Qiao Qiao had regained some clarity now, but her feet were a little wobbly. With Bai Chen’s help, she barely stood firm. Without a word, she turned and walked toward the beach.
Bai Chen did not stop her or pull her. He silently followed beside her. “Are you planning to wait for him to return?”
Qiao Qiao walked extremely slowly. “1 want to stop him from getting on the cruise ship.”
Bai Chen said, “You can’t stop him. Since he has decided to use his life to exchange for your safety in the future, he will definitely board the ship.”
Qiao Qiao didn’t say anything and walked forward stubbornly, even though she was staggering and looked like she would fall at any moment.
Bai Chen couldn’t stand it anymore. He grabbed Qiao Qiao’s arm and stopped her from moving forward. “Maybe he’ll come back, but before he does, can you take care of yourself first?”
Qiao Qiao was like a drifting flower, scattered by the wind, all over the ground. Qiao Qiao stubbornly pried Bai Chen’s hand away. “Don’t worry about me. I won’t listen to a single word..”
