Her hands were pulled out from his fingers bit by bit.
She didn't know whether it was hers or his. She took out a tissue from her bag with trembling eyes, and wiped the sweat in her palm.
He half-down his eyes, his eyes falling on her wiped hands, "Am I dirty?"
She was stunned and looked up at him, "Why do you say that?"
"If not, why would you wipe your hands?" he asked back.
His gaze looked at her deeply, causing her heart to tremble unconsciously, "I... wiped my hands just because I was sweating in my palms, not because..." It was rare, she explained in front of him with a stuttering stuttering. She could not explain, but the look on his face was as hurt, somehow she wanted to make it clear.
"Is that?" he murmured, raised his hand, grabbed the back of her head, lips, and pressed against her earlobe, "Then show me."
"Proof?" How to prove it? She was puzzled, and his breath sprayed in her ears, disturbing her thoughts.
"Yes, prove it." He said affirmatively, "I want to know if what you said is true."
His lips slowly moved away from her ears, and his eyes were facing her. His faces were so close that even in such a dim environment, she could see every subtle expression on his face.
But his eyes were still looking at her, but it was like a dead pot, without any ripples. "Qiqi..." His thin lips opened and closed, and only these four words were said.
His voice was clear and cold, like water droplets, seeping into her cochlea, while his eyes were empty, but with a hint of inspiration.
Inexplicably, her heart was constantly squeezing with his breathing. What is this feeling? Some heartache and some pity, but there are more feelings that even she herself can't explain clearly.
I want to soothe his emptyness and want his eyes to be like a normal person, and carry ordinary joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness.
Then, by the devil, her hand held his hand.
The geothermal heat almost seemed to burn her hands.
But he was so quiet, just staring at her, the only difference from the moment was that his empty eyes were stained with a kind of emotion that should be called joy.
Time seemed to have stopped. It took her no idea how long she heard him whispering, "So, I'm not dirty, right?"
"Well, it's not dirty." She heard her answer.

When Xia Qi returned to the dormitory, her face was still red. From the end of the movie to the time she left the cinema, she was always in a daze, and her mind was almost blank.
The only impression I had was that Jun Jinyan sent her to the school gate, and then she ran back to the dormitory as if she was running for her life.
"What's wrong with you? Your face is so red." Lu Xiaoxu asked at his friend in surprise.
"Nothing." Xia Qi replied quickly. Even though she was separated by the fabric of her clothes, she always felt that there was still the touch of the time in her palm...
His... God, what was she thinking!
Xia Qi shook her head hard, put down her bag, walked into the bath room, and looked at herself in the mirror: her blushing face, her forehead with thin sweat as she ran all the way, and her eyes with many complicated emotions...
Is this beating of the heart a heartbeat?
"Qiqi, you = Mom called me just now and asked you to call her when you come back." Lu Xiaoxu shouted outside.
"I understand." Xia Qi responded quickly, wiped her face with cold water, walked out of the bath room, and called her mother back.
"Well... I was outside before, and I didn't hear my phone ringing... It's great, and I've found a job... Yes, take good care of myself, and don't forget to have a physical examination on time." Xia Qi reminded.
"Mom knows, don't always care about studying and working. After graduation, find a partner. Like Xiaolu from the neighbor's house, she is two years younger than you, and she is all the mother of the child."
"Yes, yes, I can!" Every time this comes, Xia Qi can only answer me like this.
When she dated Ye Nanqing, she broke up before she could tell her mother because of a mistake. Now, she has not told her about Jun Jinyan’s story because there are too many uncertainties?
After putting away her phone, Xia Qi sighed long. Now she may have to take one step at a time. Maybe it will be different... different from ten years ago...
On the other side, in the dark and empty room, a beautiful man curled up on the bed, covering a photo in his heart. The person in the photo was Xia Qi.
"So, I'm not dirty, right? Qiqi!" A cold voice, with a strong desire, rang in the room.
Not dirty... it was what she said, so she wouldn't dislike him, right?
She won't dislike him...
————---
The time for graduation is getting closer and closer, and Xia Qi is now the only one who has left her paper defense. Because she has quit her job at the club, she has increased her time all of a sudden.
During the free time, Xia Qi would often go to the new company. Although some female colleagues were curious about the previous photos, they would occasionally say to Xia Qi, "The girl in your photo really looks like. To be honest, is Jun Jinyan your boyfriend?"
Xia Qi answered seriously, "Yes."
As a result, several female colleagues laughed, "What a cold joke. If you really are Jun Jinyan's girlfriend, you still use it to work here?"
"That's right, Jun Jinyan can just pay some money and let you buy this company."
Xia Qi didn't say anything this time. Anyway, she told the truth, and whether she believed it or not was someone else's business.
"But to be honest, that woman is really lucky to have a boyfriend like Jun Jinyan."
"No, the Jun family's chain hotels are all in his hands. And he has never had any scandals, it's so clean that it's unbelievable."
"If I could have such a boyfriend, I would laugh in my dreams!"
"Hey, who knows if he is a boyfriend or girlfriend? The person involved has never admitted it. It's just that photo, which looks more intimate. Maybe it's just a show-off?"
"That's right, who knows this world of rich people?"
As the few people chatted, they started talking about other topics. Xia Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the photos of her and Jun Jinyan and various gossip discussions were deleted in time, otherwise, I was afraid she would not be so stable now.
