Chapter 1319 Yun Rui engraved sincerity: When she slept with you, she was thinking about
When the smell of disinfectant penetrated his nose, Gu Yunxi was staring blankly at the liquid medicine slowly rising in the infusion tube.
The transparent liquid crawled into her blood vessels through the tube, bringing a slight chill, but it couldn't suppress the aches and pains in her bones - that was the mark left by excessive indulgence, like an invisible net, trapping her firmly on the hospital bed.
"Young people should exercise moderation, too." The doctor put down his stethoscope, his tone clearly filled with reproach. His gaze was as cold as ice as he glanced at Qi Ruixiang. "The patient already had a fever from being caught in the rain, and now he's dehydrated from overexertion. If he continues like this, even a god won't be able to save him."
Qi Ruixiang stood beside the bed, his suit jacket draped over his arm, two buttons of his shirt open, and the dark circles under his eyes were heavier than yesterday.
He didn't argue, but just whispered "Thank you, doctor", with fatigue that was hard to conceal in his voice.
After the doctor left, the ward fell into a brief silence. Gu Yunxi turned his head and looked at Qi Ruixiang's tense face. Suddenly, he said unhappily, "It's all your fault."
Qi Ruixiang paused, and when he turned around, there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "I thought you..."
"What do you think I am?" Gu Yunxi interrupted him, her voice suddenly rising, and the IV tube swayed. "Do you know that there is a difference between being full and being stuffed to death? Look at me now!" She tugged at the collar of her hospital gown, revealing the red mark below her collarbone that had not yet faded. "From now on, don't even think about it. My life is more important."
Qi Ruixiang's Adam's apple rolled violently.
He knew he had lost control yesterday, but seeing Gu Yunxi's lips moving closer to his, and hearing her sweet whispers in his ear, all his rationality vanished. He reached out to tuck in the quilt for her, but she dodged him violently.
"Don't touch me." Gu Yunxi turned his face away, his voice thick with nasal sounds, "I have to take good care of it."
Qi Ruixiang's hands froze in mid-air, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He knew she was taking her anger out on him, but it was impossible for him not to lose his temper at such an excuse!
"Okay, you have a good rest." His voice was as cold as ice. When he turned around, he brought a gust of wind and closed the ward door heavily.
The sound of doors colliding echoed in the corridor, like a dull punch, making people tremble.
Qi Ruixiang leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and calmed his breathing...
I've been given sweet dates and slapped in the face, tsk...
The smell of disinfectant in the corridor was particularly pungent, mixed with the lingering smell of tobacco on his body, forming a suffocating atmosphere. He took out his cigarette case and was about to take out a cigarette when he heard light footsteps behind him.
When he turned around, he met Yang Xiaotang's inquiring gaze.
She was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, her hair casually tied back, her face still a bit pale from illness, but she was carrying a bulging canvas bag in her hand, obviously she came here on purpose.
The air froze instantly. This was the first time the two had met since their last dinner ended in a bad mood.
The tense situation at that time seemed to still be in front of my eyes, but now it was replaced by a more complicated emotion - embarrassment mixed with vigilance, and alienation with temptation.
"Mr. Qi." Yang Xiaotang spoke first. Her voice was so calm that no emotion could be heard. However, there was a subtle sharpness in her eyes. "How is Yunxi?"
Yunxi? Are these two women in such a relationship that they can call each other so affectionately?
"Miss Yang is here to visit the patient?" Qi Ruixiang's eyes flashed with suspicion. He looked up and down at the person in front of him and took out a bait.
"I guess so." Yang Xiaotang ignored his indifference and stepped aside to make way for him. "I'm about to be discharged from the hospital, and seeing that your back looks like you, I came by to see you." She paused, her eyes falling on his tense jawline. "It seems like you guys had another fight?"
Qi Ruixiang frowned even more tightly.
He didn't like Yang Xiaotang's eyes that seemed to see through everything, and he didn't like her talking about his and Gu Yunxi's private affairs in such a familiar tone.
And what does "again" mean? !
What does "又" mean!
"Miss Yang, please don't worry about our affairs." Qi Ruixiang suppressed his anger and squeezed out the words while gritting his teeth.
"I really don't want to bother." Yang Xiaotang's lips curled up with a hint of sarcasm, "But some people use other people's concern as bargaining chips and treat everyone as pawns, so I have to bother."
Qi Ruixiang's eyes suddenly turned cold: "What do you mean?"
"It's nothing." Yang Xiaotang gently shook the canvas bag in her hand, making a rustling sound. "I just feel that some things are better to be discussed openly rather than hidden. I wonder if Mr. Qi will give me this opportunity. Are you interested in finding a place to talk?"
Qi Ruixiang stared at her for a long moment, trying to discern something from her face, but Yang Xiaotang's expression was as calm as a pool of deep water, impossible to fathom. He weighed the situation for a moment, then finally nodded, "Okay."
The wind on the hospital rooftop was so strong that it made people's hair fly around.
Yang Xiaotang put the canvas bag on the ground, took out a stack of documents from it, and spread them on the bench with neat movements.
Qi Ruixiang stood by the railing, watching the hustle and bustle of traffic downstairs, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the cold metal.
"Do you know this place?" Yang Xiaotang's voice was a little scattered by the wind. "This is where Yunxi asked me to come last time. She said she had something important to tell me."
Qi Ruixiang didn't turn around: "What did you say?"
"She's talking about Lin Xu." Yang Xiaotang picked up the top photo, which showed Lin Xu's apartment with shattered window glass all over the floor. "She said something was wrong with Lin Xu's death and asked me to help investigate the 'Nightingale Project'."
"The Nightingale Project?" Qi Ruixiang paused, then turned around with a perfectly balanced look of confusion on his face. "What is that?"
"It seems you really don't know." Yang Xiaotang looked at the man for a while, and then a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then it was replaced by understanding. "That's right, she doesn't believe you, so how could she let you know what she is investigating."
She picked up a document and handed it to him. "This is something she asked me and my father to check. Before giving it to Yunxi, I think it is necessary to show it to you."
Qi Ruixiang took the document and ran his fingertips over the two words "Lin Xu". The emotion in his eyes was dark and unclear. He applied a little force with his fingertips, grabbing a corner of the information, making it messy in his hands.
Qi Ruixiang closed the document and handed it back to her, saying calmly, "I never ask about Gu Yunqian's projects."
"Really?" Yang Xiaotang was clearly unconvinced. She picked up another document containing Lin Xu's call records. "But before Lin Xu disappeared, the last call was to you. The call lasted three minutes and forty-seven seconds. What did you talk about?"
Qi Ruixiang's Adam's apple rolled, and the wind made his shirt rustle. "It was about work. I can't remember the details."
"I can't remember?" Yang Xiaotang smiled, a somewhat desolate smile, "Mr. Qi, although I'm not a policeman like my father, I'm not that easy to fool. You know, the only thing people miss more than Bai Yueguang is the dead Bai Yueguang!"
Qi Ruixiang's eyes turned cold: "Miss Yang, what do you want to say?"
"If I tell Gu Yunxi directly that you were the one who killed Lin Xu, do you think she would still be affectionate with you all night?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Qi Ruixiang's expression began to crack!
"The person you love actually slept with you for another man, and you said that when she did it with you..."
