Chapter 1362 Men are born actors
Qi Yao drove home and bought dinner on the way back.
When I got home, Seventeen was watching TV on the sofa. His eyes were fixed on the TV, but his mind was wandering somewhere else.
"I'm back. The hospital was a bit busy today, so I'm back late." Qi Yao quickly explained when he entered the room. He stood by the door to change his shoes and smiled at Seventeen on the sofa. When she finally turned her head, Qi Yao said, "I bought some food. You must be starving. Come, let's eat."
Qi Yao put the lunch box on the table, then went into the kitchen and came out with dishes and chopsticks. He put the rice into the bowl, took out the lunch box, and looked at Seventeen after he was ready.
Seventeen got off the ground and slowly walked towards him.
"In the past, when I believed in someone, I believed him very much. Even if I saw something different from what I thought, I would automatically choose not to believe it. Am I stupid?" Seventeen sat down, staring at the food on the table and said quietly.
Qi Yao was puzzled, but the next moment he thought, maybe she was talking about Zhou Haoyu's past.
"Fools have their own luck. Why think so much? Let's eat first, okay?" Qi Yao adjusted his tone and said with a smile.
"I'm still like this now, keeping my feelings to myself because I'm afraid of being deceived and fooled again. I used to really trust Zhou Haoyu. Do you know how much he liked me? But he kept lying to me. Men's acting skills are innate, and I'm too stupid to see through it."
Qi Yao put down his chopsticks and looked away from the lunch box at Shiqi.
Seventeen turned his gaze towards him, and Qi Yao sighed silently, "What do you want to say?"
"You didn't go to the hospital today." Seventeen suddenly said, "Doctor Hong couldn't find you, so he called me. Qiyao, you said the hospital was very busy, but which hospital were you busy in? You were so busy that you only came back now..."
Qi Yao's brows furrowed, his eyes darkening. "Then what do you suspect me of?"
"Where did you go? Why did you lie?" Seventeen asked softly, "I never intended to ask you more about your personal matters. You were the one who told me first. If you hadn't told me first, I wouldn't have asked."
She understood how unacceptable it was to pry into other people's privacy, but wasn't he the one who lied first?
Seventeen had been frightened enough these past two days. Whether she was asleep or awake, her mind was full of random thoughts. Could Qi Yao's concealment make her feel at ease?
"I went to meet a friend and didn't tell him the truth because I was afraid you would think too much." Qi Yao said seriously.
Seventeen bit her lip and said nothing for a long time, "I have no appetite. I don't want to eat anymore."
Qi Yao grabbed Shiqi's hand and said, "Qiqi, stop messing around!"
"Am I kidding? Can you put yourself in my shoes and think about it? Qiyao, are you hiding something from me? Have you done something you don't want me to know? What were you afraid Haoyu would tell me on Christmas Eve? Why did you lie to me today? What exactly is it that you don't want to tell me?"
Qi Yao let go of Shiqi's hand and was silent for a long time. "Anyway, let's eat first. You have to eat bubbles even if you don't want to. Don't be angry with me, okay?"
Seventeen sniffed, bit his lips, and didn't speak for a long time.
"Qiqi." Qi Yao stood up and pushed her back to her seat. He was exhausted, but he had to consider Shiqi's feelings.
"Do you think I can really pretend nothing happened and sit here and have dinner with you? Qi Yao, what do you think? What do you all think?" Seventeen suddenly asked loudly.
Qi Yao pressed his brows together. "Qiqi, I am hiding something from you, but I promise that the mistakes Zhou Haoyu made will never happen to me. As for the rest... just assume that besides being involved in black market transactions, I've also done other things that I can't tell anyone about. My character isn't great, and I'm trying to correct it, but some people with ulterior motives are taking it one step further and attacking me..."
Seventeen looked at Qi Yao with hesitation in his eyes.
Qi Yao knew he had said too much, so he paused, and both of them fell silent.
After a long moment, Qi Yao finally sighed and raised his eyes slightly, his eyes a dark hue, clearly the result of not getting enough sleep these past few nights. Qi Qi was suffering, and so was Qi Yao, neither of them having an easy time.
"Qiqi, there are many things I can't explain to you, but I swear to you that my feelings are only loyal to you."
Qi Yao understood what was causing Seventeen's worry and anger. She had to think about it more carefully, having learned from past experiences. If she had reacted this way at any other time, Qi Yao would have been happy, because it would have shown that Seventeen cared about him, that she cared about him. But in this situation, he was truly exhausted.
"What else did you do?" Seventeen asked in a low voice. Thinking of what Qi Yao had done before to raise money, his heart ached again.
Qi Yao held Shiqi's hand and shook his head, "Don't worry about me. I'm not a wicked villain, right? So don't worry. I won't do anything illegal."
"Qi Yao." Seventeen's eyelids relaxed, and Qi Yao stroked Seventeen's hair. "Okay, trust me, okay?"
"I'm sorry." Seventeen said softly, "I've been in a bad mood these past two days. I'm not being suspicious..."
"I understand, I know everything. Come and eat. Eat well. Our child will definitely be healthy. Don't worry." Qi Yao comforted softly.
The tense atmosphere finally eased a little, but the previous silence continued.
The test results were not out for a day, and Seventeen couldn't sleep well that day and didn't feel like doing anything. She went to bed early that night, but couldn't fall asleep.
When she woke up in the morning, Qi Yao had already gone to the hospital. Shi Qi rolled around in bed for a while and then got up to make breakfast. She could skip it, but the child couldn't skip it.
There was milk heating in the pot and bread was baked over there. He ate it with a fried egg in it, poured the hot milk into the cup while biting the bread in his hand, and carried it into the restaurant.
Just as he walked out of the kitchen, he heard the phone ringing in the bedroom. Seventeen hurried to get his phone, but he didn't answer and just hung up.
It looked like the call was from Zhou Lan'er. Seventeen called back and froze for a moment during the call, probably realizing the other party was still dialing her number, so the line was busy. She walked out with her phone and continued eating her breakfast.
After a while, Zhou Lan'er called again.
Seventeen answered, "Sister Lan'er, is there anything wrong?"
"Qiqi, please come to the hospital quickly. My brother is dying." Zhou Lan'er's voice was urgent, and her voice was clearly filled with tears.
"What? Explain yourself." Seventeen was shocked. Wasn't everything fine two days ago? It's only been two days, and now it's gone?
"My brother was beaten last night. He suffered severe internal bleeding and was stabbed in the chest. The situation is very serious. Please come to the hospital as soon as possible. I beg you. My brother wants to see you. I'm really afraid he can't make it..." Zhou Lan'er was anxious and panicked, and her voice was already full of tears.
