Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 375 He wiped someone's body with a cold face

Jiang Xing had almost forgotten about this matter, but Lou Qi suddenly brought it up, and she was momentarily dazed.

"Why...why are you suddenly bringing this up?" Jiang Xing felt a little awkward.

"There wasn't a suitable opportunity at the hospital before."

At that time, Jiang Xing's attitude towards him was still somewhat cold and hard. Lou Qi was worried that bringing up this matter would make Jiang Xing unhappy, so he turned around and left, abandoning him in the hospital.

“Your mother was just too worried about you.” Jiang Xing lowered his eyes and took a sip of soup. “Given the circumstances at the time, I can understand her actions.”

Lou Qi put down his chopsticks and wheeled himself to Jiang Xing's side.

Before Jiang Xing could understand what the other person was going to do, he was suddenly embraced in a warm hug.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lou Qi sat in his wheelchair, his movements a little awkward. He hugged Jiang Xing with one arm, his face close to the spot where she was lying but not buried in her.

It's a distance that's both distant and ambiguous.

Jiang Xing's body stiffened for a moment, then quickly relaxed: "It's alright. After all, you were indeed injured because of me."

Lou Qi felt a sense of powerlessness: "If this hadn't happened, were you planning to break up with me completely? Jiang Xing, are you pitying me now?"

Lou Qi was very clear that it wasn't out of pity.

At the very least, it's a responsibility.

However, he didn't want to hear the answer "yes".

“No,” Jiang Xing said.

A smile flashed in Lou Qi's eyes.

Jiang Xing ate with her eyes down, having no intention of demolishing the building.

Assistant Gao, who said he went to the company to pick up urgent documents, did not return until four hours later.

“Miss Jiang, it’s too late. Why don’t you rest here? It’s dangerous for you to go home alone,” Gao Zhu said casually.

Jiang Xing glanced at the time; it was 10 PM. She said, "Wouldn't it be perfect if you took me?"

"No, no..." Gao Zhu waved his hands in alarm, as if facing a formidable enemy. "This isn't a good idea!"

He just wanted to be a wingman, not a target of the boss's ire!

"What's wrong with it?" Jiang Xing asked deliberately.

Gao Zhu quickly came up with a solution: "If you leave, who will supervise President Lou's hints about going to bed at night? You know, I can't do that job."

Gao Zhu looked at Jiang Xing with almost shameless pleading. If Lou Qi hadn't been there, he probably would have already made a "please" gesture to Jiang Xing.

Jiang Xing: "..." Has this person studied pimping?

After Takasuke left.

Jiang Xing remembered and asked Lou Qi, "Where is your maid?"

“They live nearby and will come regularly.” Lou Qi doesn’t like having unfamiliar people living in his home.

"Then what will you do with all that when you take a shower?" Jiang Xing asked, then noticed Lou Qi staring at him. Startled and shocked, he retorted, "You wouldn't be thinking about me... Lou Qi, don't be dreaming!"

Lou Qi pursed his lips. "I don't want strangers to help me."

"Are you afraid of having your body seen? You have so many ex-girlfriends, why are you afraid of having them seen? You don't care anymore."

"..."

Lou Qi once again hated his past absurd romantic history.

Jiang Xing was just saying it on purpose; when Lou Qi was about to go to sleep, she still wiped his body with a cold face.

Lou Qi was secretly overjoyed. His only regret was that she only wiped his upper body—even just his upper body made him lose his mind and unable to control his reaction.

“Stay here.” Lou Qi grabbed Jiang Xing’s wrist. “It’s too late, it’s not safe for you to go back.”

Jiang Xing glanced at him and asked, "Are you safe?"

Lou Qi: "..."

Lou Qi didn't want people to leave, and said in despair, "I can't do anything in my current state."
