"That, good brother,..."
Jing Minghe was about to explain but found Chi Hao was too close. He retreated a little and then forced a smile, saying, "Good brother, I was just joking, no need to be so serious, right?"
"What joke?"
"Ah? Well..."
Jing Minghe tapped his chin. He actually wanted to know why himself. Suddenly, he saw a woman happily greeting Chi Hao, looking quite familiar. A wave of displeasure washed over him. He couldn't help but want to use the most childish method of changing his address, hoping to... attract Chi Hao's attention?
But why? Why did he feel unhappy? Why did he do something so childish?
Was it because the teammate he had finally found, someone he could almost trust 100%, shouldn't be snatched away by others? Or was it because, during the few days he was blind, he had enjoyed Chi Hao's rare attentiveness and gentleness, and had gotten a little carried away? Did he foolishly want to monopolize such gentleness?
But that kind of Chi Hao only existed because he was blind. Now that he was perfectly fine, what was he expecting?
Seeing Jing Minghe's silence, Chi Hao sighed softly. "Forget it, what did you want me for?"
Chi Hao took the initiative to ask about business, and Jing Minghe no longer dwelled on the inexplicable question. He said directly, "I wanted to borrow some item card points from Brother Hao to buy Sister Yumi a medical kit that can be freely retracted and is easy to carry."
Chi Hao readily agreed, "Sure, anything else?"
Jing Minghe thought for a moment and shook his head. "No, but the reward card is for personal use only, so I'll have to trouble Brother Hao to come down with me."
"Let's go."
The two walked out of the room. Jing Minghe saw Shen Rong standing not far away and was wondering whether to say hello, but Chi Hao grabbed him and quickly headed for the elevator.
Jing Minghe's heart filled with doubt again.
They really weren't acquaintances but enemies, were they?
Uh, why did the word "schadenfreude" flash through my mind?
This is too abnormal!
Following Jing Minghe's suggestion, the five members of the small team pooled their item points to buy the retractable medical kit for Yumi. Jing Minghe also used his own medical card points to buy some medicines that Yumi thought might be useful.
Afterwards, everyone made their own arrangements in the rest area.
This time, there was no prompt from downstairs about how long they could stay in the rest area, so they had to be ready at any time.
Jing Minghe returned to his room, washed up, and then lay down on the bed, intending to get a good night's sleep.
But after lying down, his mind uncontrollably kept thinking about the relationship between Shen Rong and Chi Hao, and why he felt hostile towards a woman he had just met.
That's right, feeling unhappy proved he harbored hostility, didn't it? But this hostility came so inexplicably.
Jing Minghe patted his forehead. "This is terrible, so careless. How could I be like this? It's all Chi Hao's fault. He must have deliberately messed with me when I was blind! He's clearly a cold and heartless person, why did he deliberately give me the illusion that he was gentle?"
The more Jing Minghe thought about it, the angrier he became. No matter how he thought about it, he felt he had been played by Chi Hao.
But this conclusion made him feel unwilling.
Was it really like this? But why did he feel unwilling and disappointed?
Unable to sleep, Jing Minghe simply rolled out of bed and paced around the room.
He didn't know how many circles he walked, to the point of dizziness, yet he didn't want to stop. Because as soon as he stopped, he would unconsciously think of Chi Hao.
He really didn't want to dwell on this issue right now.
Knock, knock, knock.
The door was suddenly knocked upon. Jing Minghe, dizzy from pacing, opened it without even asking who it was.
The moment he saw Chi Hao, his breath almost stopped.
He blinked, his mouth agape, but he didn't know what to say.
"It's bad, I really thought too much."
"Hao..."
"What are you doing?"
They both spoke at the same time.
Jing Minghe smiled and replied, "Nothing, why are you here? Something wrong?"
"Let me in."
"Oh, okay."
Jing Minghe stepped aside to let Chi Hao into the room. After closing the door, because he was still a bit dizzy from pacing and had been startled by Chi Hao's sudden appearance at the door, his footing was unsteady. After taking two steps, his vision blurred, and he stumbled in Chi Hao's direction.
Before he fell, Jing Minghe quickly reached out and tightly hugged Chi Hao.
Chi Hao, suddenly hugged from behind by Jing Minghe, stiffened.
"Jing Minghe? You..."
"Sorry, sorry," Jing Minghe quickly let go and stood firm, smiling as he explained, "I just lost my balance. I was borrowing your support, I didn't mean to take advantage of you, please don't mind."
"Lost your balance?" Chi Hao turned to face Jing Minghe. "Are you feeling unwell?"
Jing Minghe quickly shook his head. "No, I was just thinking about something."
"What is it?"
"Uh," Jing Minghe leaned close to Chi Hao's face and teased, "Brother Hao, I didn't expect you to be someone who likes to get to the bottom of things."
Chi Hao glanced at Jing Minghe, a faint smile on his lips. "Yes, answer the question."
"..." Jing Minghe rolled his eyes helplessly. "Brother Hao, please spare me. Let's talk about it, what did you come here for?"
"I'm sleeping here tonight."
"What!!!"
Chi Hao's words were so astonishing that Jing Minghe almost thought he was hallucinating. His mouth twitched. "Brother Hao, um... I can see now, you don't need to take care of me."
Chi Hao's tone remained unchanged. "I'm not discussing it with you."
"Ah? But why?"
"No?"
Jing Minghe rubbed his neck, a bit confused about what was wrong with Chi Hao.
Could it be that he had gotten addicted to taking care of me? Sudan Novel Network
Or was this a new hobby of the great Chi? Liking to sleep in the same room as others?
Before, he had to sleep alone because he didn't know anyone familiar. Now he was clinging to me?
If that was the case, it actually... felt not bad.
As soon as this thought surfaced, Jing Minghe was startled. He actually thought it was a good thing that Chi Hao wanted to share a room with him!
Heavens, Jing Minghe wailed inwardly. I must be truly crazy, and not a little bit.
"No?"
Chi Hao asked again.
"Of course, it's fine!" Jing Minghe replied immediately, as if afraid that if he answered too slowly, Chi Hao would say, "Then forget it." Honestly, he didn't want to hear those three words come out of Chi Hao's mouth.
Receiving Jing Minghe's answer, Chi Hao slightly curved his lips and said, "It's time for dinner, let's go down and eat."
"Okay, let's eat, sleep well, and keep fighting! Haha."
The two left the room and went down to the fourth-floor restaurant to eat. On the way, they ran into Tong Zheng and Ke Wuwen. Ke Wuwen wanted to approach Jing Minghe to talk, but Tong Zheng pulled him away. Unable to escape the clutches of the devil, Ke Wuwen had no choice but to obediently follow Tong Zheng.
