They sat together at the table with their heads down and each eating their own food without saying anything, but the atmosphere wasn’t dull.
Occasionally, when their chopsticks touched, they would look up at each other and then smile.
When Qi Xiaoyu shoveled rice into his mouth, he felt a little silly. He and Xun Qian weren’t at all like their usual selves. He also thought that this was probably the feeling of being in love. At that time, his senior sister was also like this. She smiled foolishly every day when she looked at the rouge, powder, and hair ornaments given by the rich young man. At that time, he also laughed at his senior sister for being bewitched by a poison, but little did he expect that he would also become one.
While Qi Xiaoyu was eating and thinking with his head lowered, Xun Qian raised his eyes seemingly casually but actually very seriously glanced at Qi Xiaoyu.
He looked at him again and again.
Qi Xiaoyu’s fingers were delicate and white, and the shape was very beautiful. Xun Qian couldn’t help but think of how many people would be seduced if Qi Xiaoyu were to sing on stage with such fingers raised.
Xun Qian then looked up again.
Qi Xiaoyu seemed to be in very deep thought. His cheeks moved slightly as he chewed carefully. His lips were stained with a little soup, rosy and charming.
This reminded Xun Qian of the kiss in the pet hospital that day. Qi Xiaoyu’s lips were soft and sweet. When he got close, his gentle breaths were like aphrodisiacs, tempting people.
And today, in particular, Qi Xiaoyu wore a slightly loose light beige sweater, revealing a little skin in the sunlight, exuding an indescribable youthful innocence and allure.
Xun Qian wanted to pull him into his arms, press him close, kiss him, touch him, or do something else.
But Qi Xiaoyu didn’t seem to have such intentions.
Well, of course he believed Qi Xiaoyu liked him, but as for the other parts, Xun Qian was not sure about Qi Xiaoyu’s thoughts. After all, the two had divorced once, and he didn’t know how to bring up the matter of remarriage.
The two of them ate the meal with sweet and worried hearts.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Qi Xiaoyu had work to do later, both of them would have just wanted this meal to last longer.
After eating, Qi Xiaoyu stood up first. Xun Qian put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a tissue.
After Xun Qian wiped his mouth, he found Qi Xiaoyu standing opposite him, staring at him with a pair of big eyes. His heart slightly moved, like swallowing a mouthful of honey, and he smiled gently, “What time will you finish your work in the evening? I’ll pick you up, okay?”
“No… no need.” Qi Xiaoyu blushed, knowing that Xun Qian had misunderstood him, and felt that this was too greasy, like a little spoiled girl who wanted her boyfriend to pick her up from work.
He looked at Xun Qian because he was actually thinking about how Xun Qian’s legs were.
The last time he called Butler Cheng, the other party said that Xun Qian’s legs had improved a lot, and he should be able to stand up if he actively rehabilitated like before.
But… even if Butler Cheng said that to appease him, it didn’t matter.
After what happened before, his mentality has changed a lot. He’s ready. No matter what happens to Xun Qian’s legs, he will accompany Xun Qian to face it.
Qi Xiaoyu thought about it and said tactfully, “I’m about to join the filming crew, so I can’t always take leave. But if you’re going for rehab, I’ll definitely make time to accompany you.”
Xun Qian stopped talking. He lowered his eyes and put his hands on his brand new and expensive suit pants, as if thinking.
Qi Xiaoyu asked, “What did the doctor say? Do you still need to do frequent rehab?”
Xun Qian raised his eyes and nodded calmly. “Yes, do it three times a week.”
****
On that day, Xun Qian sent Qi Xiaoyu back to the movie and television park and parted ways downstairs.
Because the audition hadn’t started yet, the two took the time to talk in front of the car.
Xun Qian was still sitting in the wheelchair. He had to maintain the setting that his leg was still not well at all times.
Qi Xiaoyu lowered his head and asked him, “Which day did you go to rehabilitation recently?”
Xun Qian made up a story very calmly, “Tomorrow afternoon.”
Qi Xiaoyu nodded, “Then I’ll come to the hospital to see you tomorrow afternoon.”
The two agreed on a time to meet tomorrow and talked about something else.
There were a lot of people coming and going in the Film and Television Park at this moment. Everyone had just come back from lunch and glanced at them when they passed by.
Xun Qian intentionally didn’t avoid them. When he was waiting for Qi Xiaoyu at noon, he found that the other party was very popular. There were quite a few people who wanted to pry his corner, so he had to take the opportunity to declare his sovereignty.
He couldn’t lock Qi Xiaoyu up, nor could he affect his work, so he could only think of other ways.
He even thought that when he got the person back in the future, he could find people to send some press releases about Qi Xiaoyu being taken, married, and having a family, so that other people could save themselves the trouble.
Xun Qian’s method seemed to work.
Chu He recognized him and looked at him from a distance in the corridor upstairs. Then he turned around and pushed the door, appearing somewhat desolate.
In the eyes of other people who walked by, they first saw the limited edition Porsche and then saw Qi Xiaoyu and the man sitting opposite him.
Most people didn’t recognize Xun Qian.
After all, he rarely appeared in public except for the last time he went to Mao Chi’s birthday party because of Qi Xiaoyu. Besides, there were only a few hundred people at that birthday party.
Although there are many rumors about him, no one dares to release his photos without his permission.
Therefore, in the eyes of passersby, they only think that this is probably a sponsor pursuing Qi Xiaoyu. It seems that he is a very generous and infatuated sponsor, which makes them envious.
Qiu Yuan also looked at them from afar. After he finished the audition, it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He felt that his performance was too poor and that it was all Qi Xiaoyu who caused him to lose face in front of everyone. Now, he looked at the two people from afar and snorted coldly, “What’s there to envy about a half-paralyzed person?”
The agent disagreed with his statement and said with a sarcastic tone, “There are no more than ten of this Porsche in the world; it’s enough to make people envious. When will you be able to attract this kind of rich man to start a company and become a producer like him?”
Qiu Yuan was so pissed that he almost spit out blood. He and Qi Xiaoyu were on the same level at the beginning of the year. Today, seeing that Qi Xiaoyu was surpassing him, his heart was already sour, but his agent had to provoke him further.
The agent added, “And being in a wheelchair is not a big deal. Look at the recent news; I heard that Xun’s big boss is also in a wheelchair.”
Qiu Yuan’s face darkened, and his tone became more and more bitter, “How can they be compared? Is Qi Xiaoyu at that level? Jiang Jing couldn’t even climb up that ladder, so how could he be in the same position? His family background and education aren’t comparable to her.”
The agent didn’t comment on that topic. His tone was still indifferent: “Well, Jiang Jing was blacklisted because she wanted to get close to the Xun family, and that talk show terminated her contract.”
The agent probably also knew what kind of nature the artist he managed has. After saying this, he glanced at Qiu Yuan and said, “Don’t think too much about it. Right now, whoever wants to hook up with the Xun family and use them for hype is just courting death.”
Qiu Yuan pursed his lips, “I don’t have this idea. I want us to help Qi Xiaoyu and the Xun family hype it up, then…”
“Stop it. Don’t try to stir up trouble only for it to backfire. They are not as stupid as you.”
Qiu Yuan rolled his eyes. He believed that his plan could deal a blow to Qi Xiaoyu…

When Song Yue received the call from Butler Cheng, he was a little confused. Xun Qian was fine; why did he come to the hospital for rehabilitation again?
Butler Cheng also said, “Just pretend that the Third Master is not well and follow the previous procedures.”
Song Yue has been a doctor for so many years, and he has never done this kind of thing. He sat at his desk in a white coat, turning the pen in his hand, and said bitterly, “The Third Master’s illness is divided into several stages. Which stage are we trying to simulate?”
This is a bit difficult for Butler Cheng. He thought about it and felt that if the third wanted to pretend, he had to do it properly, so he picked the most difficult part and said, “Let’s do the stage four or five months ago where he fell down as soon as his feet touched the ground. It’s okay to say it’s a bit more serious.”
“…Okay.” Song Yue thought, if this is the case, it will also test Xun Qian’s acting skills.
Butler Cheng also reminded him, “Mr. Qi will be following along. Dr. Song, please communicate with other doctors and don’t let anything slip.”
When Song Yue heard this, although he still didn’t quite understand, he could still grasp the essence and keep Butler Cheng’s words in mind.
Two days later, Song Yue saw Xun Qian and Qi Xiaoyu in the hospital.
Song Yue was curious about what this was, so he followed them all the way and accompanied them to see the doctor.
When they arrived at the treatment room, the orthopedic doctor was too old, and his acting skills weren’t good. He just pinched Xun Qian’s leg and said, “Your leg condition is still very serious. You should come to the hospital more frequently.”
Then he sent Xun Qian to do the training by himself.
Qi Xiaoyu asked, “Don’t you want to do an x-ray or anything?”
Xun Qian looked at the doctor indifferently.
The doctor looked at Song Yue.
Song Yue regretted following them. He can only spit out nonsense with his eyes closed, “Uh… we did it two days ago.”
After arriving at the rehabilitation room, Song Yue decided not to follow them anymore. Curiosity killed the cat. He felt that he was fed a lot of dog food just now. Of course, Xun Qian didn’t let him follow either.
Xun Qian hadn’t allowed Qi Xiaoyu to rehab with him before, but now he wanted Qi Xiaoyu to accompany him throughout the entire process.
He asked Qi Xiaoyu to help him up and be his support.
Qi Xiaoyu also did his best, holding Xun Qian’s waist with one hand and holding his hand with the other.
When Xun Qian fell, the two of them naturally rolled to the floor together.
Xun Qian pressed on Qi Xiaoyu, but he was reluctant to press his whole body on him, so he used a little force in his legs and core to support himself.
Qi Xiaoyu didn’t notice this because his attention had been diverted elsewhere.
The two looked at each other eye to eye.
Qi Xiaoyu gulped and said, “I think something’s wrong.”
“Oh~” Xun Qian smiled, “What’s wrong?”
As he spoke, a milky fragrance drifted over.
Qi Xiaoyu asked, “Did you eat candy just now?”
“Yeah, milk candy.”
Qi Xiaoyu felt that his brain was seriously short-circuited, and he blurted out, “Is there more?”
Xun Qian’s eyes darkened, “Do you also want some?”
Qi Xiaoyu felt that the breath sprayed on his face was a little too hot.
Outside the window of the rehabilitation room, the sky was clear and blue.
Xun Qian, who was right in front of him, had long eyelashes and dark eyes, so beautiful and flawless.
He felt his heart pound. This scene was a little familiar, like that dream he had before.
His eyelashes trembled heavily.
Xun Qian lowered his head and pecked Qi Xiaoyu on the lips.
Qi Xiaoyu trembled slightly, but did not refuse.
The milky fragrance instantly reached his lips—very sweet, very fragrant… he wanted a little more.
Xun Qian was relieved and took it a step further, tentatively licking his lips and asking, “Is it delicious?”
Qi Xiaoyu grabbed Xun Qian’s clothes without saying a word.
Xun Qian could feel the person under him trembling slightly.
Xun Qian licked his lips a few more times and teased him, “Is it not delicious?”
Qi Xiaoyu closed his eyes and didn’t respond.
After a while, Qi Xiaoyu opened his eyes, lifted his head, and bit Xun Qian’s lips heavily.
****
In the blink of an eye, after a few rehabilitation sessions, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner.
Xun Qian ran to the crew to wait at the door for Qi Xiaoyu to finish work.
