1079: Tempting

Tempting

If she were to let go of him now and drown him in the bathtub, would it be counted as murder?1

If it wasn't, she really wanted to do it!

She saw the dark eye circles around his eyes and then she asked, "How long has it been since you last ate or slept?"

"Not very long. I haven't slept for two days and not eaten for one day…" Qi Yan answered weakly and leaned into her arms.

"But, after looking at you, I don't feel that I am that hungry anymore."

"…"

Two days without sleep and one day without food. No wonder he was so weak.

He really didn't care about his body. How could he laugh when he was in this state?

Qi Yan saw her anger and smiled more brightly.

He did not tell her that he was happy because there was finally a breakthrough in the research project.

It had been a lot faster than he expected.

Thinking of this, he snuggled against her chest and asked, "You have not answered if you want to bath with me…"

Before Qi Yan was finished with his words, Tan Bengbeng threw him into the bathtub and watched him submerged in the ice water.

"You need some ice water to cool you down."

"…"

-

In the hospital.

There was only the sound of breathing left in the VIP ward.

Tang Yuansi was lying on the bed breathing weakly. His body was covered in various instruments.

He woke up for a short while and fell back to sleep due to his weak conditions.

Shangxin was sitting by his bed and was wiping his handsome face with a warm towel. Then it was his hands…

Even her eyes were grinning when she was doing that.

There was bliss at the bottom of her eyes.

She said softly, "Brother Xiaosi, do you remember the first time we met? I do not really remember it anymore. It feels like so long ago, like something that happened in our past life."

Shangxin's actions stopped.

She looked at Tang Yuansi, who was in deep sleep and continued.

"I was thinking, if you hadn't pushed me away because of your illness, we would have had a lot more time together. I used to blame you for it. I blamed you for always considering for me, but never once asking me for my opinion. However, now, I do not blame you anymore…"

It was now that she finally understood, the person being abandoned was not the one who would get hurt the most.

It was the person, who didn't want to give up but had to be forced to!

To her, everything else was insignificant compared to his life.

If they could be together… if they could still meet…

All these were not important.

It was different from when he decided to let go of her when he knew that he didn't have much time left.

She wasn't that great.

If she had a choice, even if it was for one day, she wanted to be with him.

But, she wanted him to be alive…

Even if it meant that he was living somewhere she couldn't see.

As long as she knew that he was well. She was willing to do anything…

Shangxin sat by Tang Yuansi's bed and said many things.

In the past, when she had been by his side every day, she never felt that she had so many things to say. Suddenly, it was as if she had endless things to say.

She wanted to remind him to take care of himself.

Remind him that he should prioritize other things other than work. Remind him to visit his adoptive parents when he was free, that Uncle Yan missed him but she was too shy to say.
