Bai Chen raised her hand and pressed the back of her neck. “You’re willing to thank me and say the word ‘save’, which means…”
Qiao Qiao said, “l don’t want you to save me, but you risked your life. Logically speaking, I should thank you.”
“Alright, I won’t say anymore.” Bai Chen also realized that he shouldn’t have said that. He took the lid of the thermos from her and set it aside to clear the table. Then he quickly took out the three dishes and soup.
It was a fresh and nutritious meal. It was obvious that she had put in a lot of effort.
Bai Chen held his chopsticks and didn’t know where to start. He asked Qiao Qiao, “I’m gonna eat it, then?”
Qiao Qiao nodded. “Yes.”
Bai Chen began to eat while Qiao Qiao watched quietly from the side. He took a bite and praised her hard. Qiao Qiao didn’t say anything. Bai Chen praised her as she ate. Qiao Qiao still didn’t say a word. The atmosphere seemed a little awkward.
Seeing that he had already eaten more than half, Qiao Qiao still sat silently at the side.
Bai Chen finally couldn’t help but ask, “When you came in just now, did you meet the woman who left my ward?”
Unsurprisingly, Qiao Qiao spoke. She nodded before saying, “l met her. I know. That’s your mother.”
Bai Chen put down his chopsticks. “So… you heard it too?”
Qiao Qiao’s lips curved into a very forced smile. “Didn’t you tell me long ago? I know.”
“You do know, but it’s only limited to knowing that Shao Jingmo did this for you. A life for a life. But you won’t feel good when you hear his ending with your own ears.”
Bai Chen did not want to talk about this topic at all. As he had just said, Qiao Qiao might never be able to let go of this matter for the rest of her life if she heard Shao Jingmo’s ending with her own ears.
It was also possible that she would not walk out of this for life. When Bai Chen thought of this, his stomach turned sour. He could not swallow the delicious food in front of him.
Qiao Qiao asked, “Bai Chen, the high seas are endless. There are no ships within a few kilometers. The only cruise ship is going to kill him. Was he very desperate?”
Bai Chen said nothing.
Qiao Qiao didn’t care if Bai Chen answered her or not. She continued, ‘1 1 tried the feeling of falling into the sea, but I quickly fainted and didn’t experience death when I was awake.’
Bai Chen moved his lips. “Qiao Qiao, he…”
“Bai Chen, say, is it possible that he would survive?” Qiao Qiao suddenly asked innocently.
Bai Chen was speechless.
Qiao Qiao didn’t get a reply from Bai Chen. Her mood gradually became lonely and sad.
Bai Chen looked at Qiao Qiao’s lifeless face and said softly, “Every step he has calculated is related to you. He has paved the way for your future, the future peace of the Qiao family, and your position in the Deep Blue Corporation.”
Qiao Qiao said, “Bai Chen, rest well first. If you can’t finish these, throw them away. You don’t have to return the lunch box to me.” After saying this, Qiao Qiao turned around and left Bai Chen’s ward.
“Qiao Qiao!” She had already walked to the door and opened it. Bai Chen said, “You’re a rose he raised himself. You should bloom gorgeously, not fester in the soil.’
Qiao Qiao lowered her eyes, troubled. “Mm.”
“Also,” Bai Chen took the opportunity to mention, “you asked if we’ve met somewhere before. Yes, we have. At Xingzhou University.”
Qiao Qiao slowly turned around, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and forced a smile at Bai Chen. “Actually, I’ve already remembered. It was on the basketball court of Xingzhou University that you lost a match. Your opponent asked you to stop a girl at random to confess.”
Bai Chen sneered. “l stopped you.”
Qiao Qiao said, “l slapped you.”
Bai Chen lowered his eyes. “I’ve remembered it just like that.”
Qiao Qiao looked sincere. “ I’m sorry.”
Bai Chen looked up at her and his smile changed from loneliness to brilliance.
“I’ll accept this apology.”
Qiao Qiao smiled and turned to open Bai Chen’s ward.
Two days later, Qiao Qiao left the hospital. Ever since she was saved from falling into the sea, she did not seem to have any thoughts of committing suicide. Perhaps Bai Chen’s words that day had reminded her.
Even though she had stopped thinking about that, she did not live a good life. She didn’t go to the office. She didn’t care about anything. She only went to the bar every day and got herself drunk every time. It was as if she was making things difficult for herself, torturing herself in all kinds of ways.
She looked more like a walking corpse. Her soul had already sunk into the depths of the sea when she fell that day.
Father and Mother Qiao couldn’t do anything other than feel heartache every day, because any persuasion was useless to Qiao Qiao.
Half a month passed like this.
That night, Qiao Qiao was very drunk at the bar and even got into an argument with someone. They almost got into a fight. When Bai Chen came to help her out, Qiao Qiao fell asleep. The bag on which her head rested buzzed. She wondered who was calling.
Qiao Qiao didn’t take it. After Bai Chen settled the dispute for her and apologized to the other party, he was about to help Qiao Qiao up when he heard her cell phone vibrate.
Bai Chen gently held her head and took out the phone in her bag. She saw that it was a call from Country T. There was no name or caller ID.
Bai Chen wanted to hang up and send the drunk Qiao Qiao home first. But he was afraid that it was an important call for Qiao Qiao, so he picked it up for her. He pressed the phone to his ear. “Hello.”
The woman’s puzzled voice came from the other end. “Hello, you are…?’!
“Me?” Bai Chen was very careful not to reveal his identity. Instead, he asked the other party, “What’s the matter?”
The woman on the other end of the line immediately said, “It’s like this. He’s a
Chinese man sent by a local fisherman. He fell into the sea and was in a coma
for half a month. He just woke up yesterday, but he lost his memory and is unwilling to say a word. We’re confirming his identity. Just now, he repeatedly recited a string of numbers. We contacted the owner of this phone number immediately.. Sir, is it convenient for you to come to Country T to confirm his identity?”
