Chapter 175

"Mm?" Qin Qin Zhixiu tilted his head, looking quite like a cute anime character.

Her heart felt a bit itchy, He He Lele picked up the plate and walked toward the door, "I didn't hear footsteps every time you came over, are you hungry? Then I'll make dinner earlier in the future."

"No, no need. I just wanted to see." Qin Qin Zhixiu reached out to take the plate from He He Lele's hand.

"Hey, no need, no need, I'll do it, you sit down." He He Lele naturally didn't want him to help, but when she looked up and met his beautiful, sorrowful eyes, she had to let go.

"Hey hey! That's hot, that's hot!" Seeing Qin Qin Zhixiu reach out to hold the casserole with his bare hands, He He Lele rushed over in fright, but unfortunately, she was a step late. Without saying a word, she grabbed Qin Qin Zhixiu's scalded red hands and put them under the faucet to rinse with cold water—

"Does it hurt? Does it hurt?"

"..." Looking down at her nervous eyes, Qin Qin Zhixiu shook his head gently, his clear, beautiful eyes, exquisite handsome face, flowing with indescribable emotions.

Seeing that his hands were indeed fine, He He Lele breathed a sigh of relief, took a towel to help him dry his hands, and gently blew on the skin that was still a bit red, "Mr. Qin, that's called a casserole..."

Listening to her helpless tone, Qin Qin Zhixiu slowly raised the corners of his mouth.

As if seeing the moment a water lily bloomed, He He Lele forgot what she was going to say, dazed for several seconds before suddenly letting go of Qin Qin Zhixiu's hand.

"I, I'll go get you some medicine to apply." He He Lele said in a panicked tone.

Qin Qin Zhixiu suddenly grabbed He He Lele's arm.

"Mr. Qin?"

"... Will you leave?"

"Mm?"

"Will you always be here?"

"..." Looking at his painting-like eyes, after a long while, she shifted her gaze away, smiling feignedly and easily, "I'm just a worker, of course—"

Before she finished speaking, the hand on her arm had already relaxed and slowly hung down.

Lonely, cold, as if he were the only one left in the whole world. Clearly, he was standing in front of her, but his whole person seemed to be trapped in an invisible transparent bubble, isolated from the world—just like her in the past.

"... I'm sorry."

Borrowing the excuse of delivering food to Ruan Lin, He He Lele fled the first floor, as if the person sitting in the first-floor dining room wasn't Qin Qin Zhixiu, but the desperate, painful self from the past!

I'm sorry, she—He He Lele closed her eyes and gritted her teeth. After a moment, she walked out of the elevator and placed the tray on the dining table in Ruan Lin's room.

"Mr. Ruan, dinner has been delivered. Please eat while it's hot. If you have any other instructions, please call me. I'm going downstairs first." Facing the empty living room, He He Lele said this loudly and then turned and entered the elevator again.

She had told herself that she would never escape from what she should do, and never let herself look down on herself!

Besides, if Ren Ren Lingyu knew she stood by and watched Qin Qin Zhixiu...

Sitting opposite Qin Qin Zhixiu, looking at the food he hadn't touched, He He Lele put aside her concerns, "May I ask, is there anything I can do for you?"

Qin Qin Zhixiu's eyes flickered, but soon faded again. He picked up his chopsticks and smiled shallowly, "I'm fine, just dazed for a while."

"... Many times, one person can't solve problems." He He Lele moved the dish he was about to pick up away. "I don't know if we can be considered friends, but if there's anything I can do, please feel free to speak."

Qin Qin Zhixiu raised his eyes.

"Anything... is okay?"

"It's best not to climb trees again, I'm actually, slightly afraid of heights." He He Lele wrinkled her little face.

Qin Qin Zhixiu smiled, "I want to know... the feeling of being with family."

Mm? Family? Lover?
