It was now past 10 o'clock in the evening. Xia Qi knew that Jun Jinyan drove here today and would probably have to drive back to City B again early tomorrow morning. She could only imagine how much time she would have to rest.

"Are you going to stay with me in the hospital tonight?" Jun Jinyan asked.

"Yeah." Xia Qi nodded.

"Then I will park the car in a moment and come to the ward to find you." Jun Jinyan said.

"You won't go to my house to sleep?"

"I want to accompany you."

Even just because he wants to see her a few more times every day, he would rather drive back and forth for nearly 10 hours every day. He has persisted for ten years, but now, he wants to see her more and more. As long as he can't see her for a day

If you do, you will feel as if you are suffocating.

Is it because he fell in love with her? Because the deeper the love, the more he loses himself and becomes less and less able to live without her?

Seeing Jun Jinyan's insistence, Xia Qi said nothing more. She got out of the car and watched Jun Jinyan driving towards the hospital's underground parking garage. Xia Qi turned around and walked towards the inpatient department of the hospital.

.

The hospital is much quieter at night than during the day.

Except for the nurse's consultation desk, the corridor of the inpatient department is actually very quiet. The white light is a bit dim, but it is enough for people to see the corridor clearly.

Xia Qi walked towards her mother's ward, but when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped.

A familiar figure was leaning quietly at the door of the ward, with his head half bowed. His black hair formed shadows on his forehead and eyelids because of the lowered head. The other person was holding a book in his hand.

, his eyes were looking at the things in the notebook intently.

Ye Nanqing, why is he here?!

Surprise flashed in Xia Qi's eyes. If she had just met him in the hospital, she might have thought it was a coincidence, but now, he was standing at the door of her mother's ward, as if - waiting for her!

As if hearing her footsteps, Ye Nanqing raised his head slightly and looked in the direction of Xia Qi. Their eyes met in mid-air.

Ye Nanqing suddenly smiled slightly, "Back?"

It was obviously the same smile as before, but now Xia Qi felt that Ye Nanqing's smile had an indescribable weirdness.

"Why are you here?" Xia Qi asked.

"Because you left city b suddenly, I can only come here to find you." He straightened up and said.

After Xia Qi was stunned for a moment, she then said, "I have already asked for leave from the company and said that after my mother is discharged from the hospital, I will return to the company to work. If you are here to ask me for the revised decoration design drawing,

I don't have time to draw at all these days. When I get back to City B, I will send you an email like last time after I have revised it."

"No, I didn't come to you for this." Ye Nanqing shook his head, raised his steps, walked closer to Xia Qi step by step, and finally stood in front of her. "I just want to ask you, this

The painting above was painted by you yourself?"

As he spoke, he raised the sketchbook in his hand, turned to a page, and spread it out in front of her.

Only then did Xia Qi notice that the sketchbook in Ye Nanqing's hand clearly belonged to her.

"Why is my sketchbook here with you?" She stretched out her hand to take her sketchbook back from his hand, but she didn't expect him to raise his hand and she missed it.

"I just ask you, did you paint this painting?" He repeated the question he just asked.

She was startled, and found that the smile on the corner of his lips had disappeared at some point, and his dark eyes were staring at her, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious.

"I drew it, is there any problem?" she replied.

The next moment, he grabbed her arm fiercely, "Why do you draw it like this? Has anyone told you? Or did you hear someone say something?" He asked eagerly, unlike his previous calmness and calmness.

Completely different.

Her arm hurt from being pulled by him, which showed how strong he was holding her. "Let go first!" Xia Qi said.

"Tell me, why are you painting like this? Why?!" He forced her close to the wall, pressing his arms on her sides, completely confining her, leaving her unable to dodge.

Xia Qi only felt that her arm was getting more and more painful from being scratched by Ye Nanqing, "There is no reason. No one told me, and I didn't hear anyone mention anything. I can draw like this. It's just that I like such decorations. It's just that

When I was little, I hoped that one day I could have a house like this!"

She spoke quickly, hoping he would let go quickly.

But Ye Nanqing held her arm tighter instead, with so much force that it seemed like he was going to twist her arm off.

"Why put sunflowers?" he asked, his usually elegant voice trembling slightly at this moment.

Something was wrong, if it was normal, he would never be like this! Xia Qi endured the pain and looked at Ye Nanqing's ugly face under the light.

He is now like a person standing on the edge of a cliff, desperately trying to grab something, and she can grab him gently or push him away hard!

She even had the illusion that her words could determine his fate!

Biting her lip, Xia Qi frowned because of the pain and said, "Because I like... sunflowers, that's why I drew so many sunflowers."

"What about the bells? Why are there so many bells?"

"Because in that case... when the wind blows and the bell rings, you won't feel so lonely..." Before I met Jun Jinyan, my mother was busy at work and working overtime. Once at home, she would often be the one

Man, at that time, every time she was at home alone, she liked to ring the bell, so that she would not be so scared and lonely.

Ye Nanqing's eyes suddenly opened wide, and his face was full of shock, as if he was looking at something incredible. His right hand held her arm, and his fingers seemed to be squeezed into her flesh.

, and his left hand raised, tremblingly pressed it against her cheek, brushing her eyebrows and the bridge of her nose inch by inch, as if he was confirming something.

"Ye Nanqing, what's wrong with you?" Xia Qi asked. After all, he was so abnormal right now. She had never seen him look so expressionless.

"You..." He murmured just one word when a voice suddenly rose from behind him.

"Ye Nanqing, let go of your hand."

The cold voice was particularly obvious in the silent corridor. Xia Qi turned her head and saw Jun Jinyan standing at the other end of the corridor.
