Qi Bufan got out of the car with a hesitant expression.
She should not be here…
Qi Bufan heard the driver ask, “Guest, it’s already so late. It’s not appropriate to hail a taxi. Do you need me to wait for you here?” Thinking that he would come out soon, Qi Bufan nodded.
Qi Bufan’s footsteps were a little hurried. His feet stepped on the snow, making crunching sounds. Qi Bufan walked into the cemetery and climbed halfway up the mountain. He saw Dai Chukong kneeling in front of Dai Ruoheng’s grave in a black down jacket.
There was a thick layer of snow on the shoulders of her black down jacket.
!!
The girl knelt upright.
She was like an ice sculpture that had been carved into shape by an ice sculptor. When he saw her, Qi Bufan was inexplicably angry.
It was 10am when he left but it was already 6:30pm at night! She had been kneeling here for eight and a half hours?
If the receptionist had not called, Qi Bufan would not have known that she was here.
How long did she intend to kneel here?
Qi Bufan laughed out of anger. He strode over and grabbed Dai Chukong’s arm. Suppressing his anger, he said to her, “Get up. Do you want to die?”
He did not pull her up.
Dai Chukong fell to the ground like a marionette.
“Chukong!”
Seeing Dai Chukong faint on the ground, Qi Bufan’s face instantly turned the same color as the snow on the ground.
It was snow-white.
In a panic, he knelt beside Dai Chukong and hugged her. Only then did he notice that Dai Chukong’s cheeks were red. He touched Dai Chukong’s forehead. It was frighteningly hot.
Qi Bufan was flustered and anxious.
“Chukong, can you hear me?” Qi Bufan patted her cheek. “Why are you so stupid?! Don’t you know to go back when it snows?” Qi Bufan finally could not control his temper and scolded her.
Amidst the cursing, there was less anger and more heartache.
Dai Chukong’s dull eyes gradually lit up.
She could not tell if the person in front of her was the person in her dream or if he was real. She smiled at Qi Bufan and said, “I’m begging my father for forgiveness. I told my father that I want to woo someone. His name is Qi Bufan, and he’s his brother. That man is 38 years old this year, 17 years older than me. He’s a serious old man who’s a little stubborn.”
“But he’s also the kindest man in the world.”
Dai Chukong used her hot fingertips to touch Qi Bufan’s face greedily. She looked at the handsome face of the man in front of her and let out a cold breath before saying, “He’s also the man I love the most in this world. He doesn’t even know how much I love him.”
“I let my father down because I planned to cause trouble for his best brother for the rest of his life. I also let you down because I loved you so much without your permission.”
Dai Chukong’s body was frighteningly hot, but she felt cold, so she shrank into Qi Bufan’s embrace.
Qi Bufan picked her up by the waist and walked out of the cemetery.
His injuries had yet to recover. When he carried her away, his chest hurt terribly. However, he still hugged her, not daring to put her down.
He heard Dai Chukong ramble, “In the past few years, I’ve been secretly paying attention to you. I know you’ve always been single and haven’t even found a woman once. You’re really a rare clean man I’ve seen. When your training base welcomed the first batch of members who participated in the training, you were so happy that you brought a group of colleagues to drink.”
“You were drunk. After you got drunk, you called me and called my name over and over again, saying that you missed me. It was late at night, and I couldn’t find a taxi. I rode a bicycle and crossed half the city to find you.”
“When I found you, you were sitting at the entrance of our house, hugging our dog and shouting my name. I sent you back to your room and settled you down. When I was about to leave, you suddenly grabbed my hand and told me in a delirious state that you wanted me to stay and come back. You said that you couldn’t live without me and that you knew your mistake…”
“Qi Bufan, you can’t live without me. You know that.” She burrowed into his embrace and muttered softly, “You know that you can’t live without me, but you still pushed me away. Why are you so stupid?”
When Qi Bufan heard this, he was a little surprised and stunned.
Was what she had said true?
However, after hearing her words, Qi Bufan had some impression of what he did. He remembered that when he woke up the next morning, Dai Chukong was no longer around. He had drunk too much and did not remember seeing Dai Chukong at all.
“Did I really say that?”
Dai Chukong did not reply.
Sensing that something was wrong, Qi Bufan looked down at her and realized that she had fainted from the fever.
“Driver! To the hospital!”
Qi Bufan carried Dai Chukong into the taxi.
On the way to the hospital, the driver drove quite fast. When they were about to reach the hospital, he asked Qi Bufan, “Are you a couple? Or siblings?”
Qi Bufan was stunned.
He asked the driver, “What do you think?”
“A couple.”
Qi Bufan asked again, “Why do you say that?”
The driver said, “You’ve been hugging her tightly the whole time. You’ve always only had her in your eyes. Are the two of you not a couple but siblings?” The driver sneered and said, “Stop pretending to be siblings. This kind of thing is very normal now.”
“What is it?” Qi Bufan was a little puzzled.
The driver said, “Having a mistress!”
Qi Bufan was speechless.
“I think you’re in your thirties. This lady looks to be in her early twenties. Isn’t she your mistress? Is she your real girlfriend?” Upon seeing Qi Bufan’s dark expression, the driver hurriedly corrected himself and said, “Women nowadays like to find older women. They’re mature and know how to dote on others.”
Qi Bufan ignored the driver.
When they reached the hospital, he threw down the money and carried Dai Chukong to register.
Dai Chukong was arranged to be hospitalized directly. The doctor came to check on her and said that she had a high fever caused by the cold. Her fever was too high and she needed an IV drip. Qi Bufan waited for the doctor to leave before he fell onto the bed tiredly.
After this trip, he immediately felt that his bones were hurting everywhere.
He rubbed his chest, but the driver’s words rang in his mind. She was always the only one in his eyes.
Her rubbing of his chest suddenly froze in his mind.
Qi Bufan frowned and was in a daze again.
The nurse came to take Dai Chukong’s temperature every half an hour. She had a high fever until late at night before it gradually subsided. At four in the morning, her fever finally subsided.
The nurse said, “Her clothes are all wet. Help your girlfriend change.”
Qi Bufan was stunned again.
Why did everyone think they were a couple?
Shouldn’t they look like father and daughter?
Qi Bufan carried a basin of water and calmly wiped Dai Chukong’s back and stomach. Dai Chukong’s clothes were not easy to take off, and the collar of her sweater was very small. It took him a long time to successfully take it off for her.
Dai Chukong was still wearing a thermal bra. Qi Bufan stood by the bed, and there was finally a ripple in his calm eyes.
Should he take it off?
