Qi Qi Qi frowned and looked at Chen Liang who had remained silent. He raised his hand to look at the time on his watch. They had been sitting like this for nearly ten minutes without saying a word.
”Chen Liang, you've come to find me, do you have nothing to say to me?” ”If you don't have it, then I'll leave first!”
Chen Liang abruptly raised his head to look at her. After seeing the impatience on her face, his originally thirty percent guilt had suddenly increased to seventy percent. The reason why there were still thirty percent left over was entirely due to his understanding of his brother.
”Seventh Seven, I … I really don't believe what my brother said, but I've been with my brother for so many years, and I know his character. If he didn't have any proof, he wouldn't have spread the rumours around, so in order to be safe, I think it's better to ask for it myself. ”
Seeing that Chen Liang was speaking in earnest, Qi Seven sat up straighter, pretending to be listening attentively.
As Chen Liang thought of the questions he would ask next, he raised the cup of water by his side and gulped down the entire contents. Even so, his throat still felt extremely dry.
He coughed heavily before asking, ”My brother said that once you are overseas, you will be entangled with a lot of men …” When he saw her right eyebrow slightly twitch, the last part of his words subconsciously rose higher, but he still insisted on asking this question, ”The reason I asked you out today was to ask if what my brother said was true.”
Qi Qi didn't answer immediately after she finished listening. Instead, she lowered her head and picked up the teaspoon from the small plate. She poked into the white coffee cup and slowly stirred the coffee in front of her.
Only when Chen Liang's heart was starting to regret his reckless actions today did she raise her head and ask him, ”Before last night, I didn't seem to know that you had an older brother, nor did I know of someone called Chen Dong. How did your elder brother know that I was causing trouble outside?”
”My brother …” My brother said he heard it from your cousin. ”
”Oh ~ ~ ~ As far as I know, my cousin has never been out of the country. Which eye did she see it with? If what you said was true, that I was having a relationship with someone outside, do you think I would be stupid enough to tell others about it? Also, you and I seem to be in the same school. Do you think that my cousin in China would be clearer than you on whether or not I have a relationship between a man and a woman? In the end, why would my cousin say that to your brother? What is their relationship? ”
Qi Qi Qi asked a few questions in succession, and Chen Liang only felt sweat oozing out from his forehead layer by layer. In the end, he wished that there was a hole in the ground so that he could crawl into it.
Yes, he was the one who was abroad with Seventh Seven. He knew better than anyone what Seventh Seven was like abroad. Why would he suspect a girl he liked just because of a few words from his brother?
He was too rash. Qi Qi had said that she didn't like him in the first place, so wouldn't he make her hate him even more after what he had done today?
”I …” Seventh, I … ”I'm sorry!” Chen Liang was speechless. No matter how much guilt he felt, he could only use these three words to express it.
”No, you don't need to apologize to me. On the contrary, I should be thanking you, because if you didn't ask me today, I wouldn't have known that my cousin had hurt me in such a way. I haven't had any enmity with her recently, so I should have known about her extramarital affair.
As he was speaking, he suddenly covered his chest with his hands. His brows were furrowed tightly, and he looked to be in extreme pain.
Chen Liang didn't know what was going on with Seventh Seven, but he immediately stood up and walked to her side to crouch down, wanting to support her hand, but he didn't dare. He was at a loss for what to do for a while, and finally decided to hold onto her elbow and anxiously ask, ”Seventh Seven, what's wrong with you? How could this happen all of a sudden? ”
”I have some emergency medicine my mom put in my bag. I said if my chest feels uncomfortable, just quickly swallow one pill and it will relieve the symptoms. Help me get it.”
Chen Liang did not dare to delay any longer. He quickly went over to her and took the bag from her, opened it and started rummaging through it. Luckily, he quickly found the medicine and hastily glanced at the words on the medicine box, only to see that there were several words written on it: Nitroglycerin Tablets.
Although Chen Liang did not study medicine, his grandfather had a heart attack, so he was not unfamiliar with this medicine.
Holding the medicine, he opened his mouth in shock, then looked at the way Qi Hua was clutching his chest, unable to believe that the girl in front of him was having a heart attack. However, at this moment, Qi Qi Qi was bending over in pain, almost lying on the table.
Chen Liang hurriedly suppressed the shock and bewilderment in his heart. Opening the lid, he poured out a pill and placed it at the corner of his mouth.
Qi Qi didn't open her mouth, but took the pill from him and placed it in her palm. She pretended to put it in her mouth, but in reality, the pill slid down her palm and into her sleeve.
And Chen Liang, who had been shaken by the fact that he had a heart attack, had his mind completely blank. How could he possibly have noticed this small action of hers?
After swallowing the pill, Qi Qi Qi rested her forehead against one of his arms on the table, panting for breath. The onlookers could tell that she was trying to calm herself down, but in reality, Qi Qi was using this action to hide the truth, scheming how to tell Chen Liang about Miao Yuqi and Chen Dong's relationship.
