Chapter 280 Not cold, but chilling
Xie Qing was stunned for a second, then waved his hand to deny: "How is it possible? Niuniu is my biological daughter, how could I kick her."
"Niuniu must be confused by fever and having nightmares!"
After speaking, she lowered her head and tucked Niu Niu into bed.
Where the man couldn't see, a dark color emerged in the woman's pupils, and her voice trembled: "Poor Niuniu, she must have been frightened in the market during the day, so she had a fever and had nightmares."
"It's all my fault for not protecting Niu Niu well. Now I'm alone with Niu Niu. How can I survive if Niu Niu is there?"
Speaking of the depth of love, Xie Qing simply sat on the edge of the hospital bed and wiped his tears.
Zhou Qi glanced over and secretly suppressed the doubts in his heart.
"It's possible that there are too many people in the market during the day. It's better not to take Niu Niu to such occasions in the future. The doctor said that Niu Niu will finish the fever-reducing injection tonight and will be under observation. If there is no problem tomorrow, she can be discharged from the hospital."
His words fell on Xie Qing's ears, but the woman heard something else.
"Are you going back?"
Zhou Qi nodded: "Yanqiu is still at home. If you have anything to do tonight, call the nurse. I'll come back before going to work tomorrow morning to pay the hospitalization fee. You don't have to worry about money."
After explaining, Zhou Qi went out to find Xiao Wang.
However, Xie Qing blocked Zhou Qi's path first.
"Zhou Qi, can you not leave tonight?"
The woman looked pitiful and raised her head to look at Zhou Qi.
She saw the displeasure in Zhou Qi's expression, and in order to ease the atmosphere, she explained: "The doctor said that Niuniu will wake up in the middle of the night."
"Niuniu usually likes you the most. She will be very happy to see you when she wakes up."
Zhou Qi frowned and looked back at Niu Niu, who was lying on the hospital bed with her eyes closed.
After pondering for a few seconds, just when Xie Qing thought that the man would stay for Niu Niu, Zhou Qi slowly put on his hat and said calmly: "When Niu Niu wakes up, shouldn't you be the mother first?"
One sentence completely devastated Xie Qing.
Just when she regained consciousness, the man had already passed her and went out.
The hospital corridor late at night was long and dark, and the man's tall and slender figure disappeared deep into the corridor.
Xie Qing clenched his fist and smashed it against the wall.
She looked at Niu Niu lying on the bed with an unwilling expression, but she didn't expect that Niu Niu couldn't even keep Zhou Qi!
…………
Xie Yanqiu was reading a book on the bed and yawned. He looked up at the clock on the wall.
It was almost 11 o'clock, and there was no flashing light from the car lights downstairs.
Xie Yanqiu's heart sank, always feeling inexplicably uneasy...
I always feel that at this time, Zhou Qi will not come back tonight, and will probably be with Niu Niu in the hospital.
But when he thought about Zhou Qi not coming back, Xie Yanqiu suddenly felt sour and unspeakably uncomfortable.
It's as if he, Xie Qing and Niu Niu are a family of three...
As time passed by, this uneasiness mixed with sadness became stronger and stronger in the woman's heart.
"Forget it, just treat him as dead tonight!"
Xie Yanqiu decided not to wait any longer, put down the book in his hand angrily, and went over to turn on the light.
The moment the lights were turned off, there was a subtle click sound from the living room.
In the darkness, the woman's hearing is infinitely amplified.The footsteps outside the door mixed with the sound of thin ropes kept approaching. Xie Yanqiu's first reaction was that there was a burglar in the house!
Han Shuna told her before that at the end of the year, thieves are also short of money. Not only are there more and more thieves in the market, but there are also thieves who, in order to have money to go home for the New Year, will take risks and break into homes!
At this time, Han Shuna should have gone to bed, and Zhou Qi was not at home...
What if a thief really comes with some knives?
Xie Yanqiu felt crazy in her heart. She was still pregnant. If she really fought with the thief, whether the child would be saved or not, it would be a question of whether she could survive!
The thin sound of strings outside turned out to be getting closer. Xie Yanqiu was lying behind the door, her heart beating like a drum.
The palms of my hands were covered with beads of sweat due to nervousness.
In the darkness, he glanced at the broom next to the door. He had forgotten to take it out after sweeping the floor at night. Now it happened to be a handy weapon!
She grabbed the broom and held it tightly in her hand.
Sure enough, the next second, thin footsteps stopped outside her door.
Xie Yanqiu's heart was already in her throat, waiting for the person outside the door to come in.
At the critical moment, there was suddenly no movement outside the door. A few seconds later, footsteps sounded in the opposite direction. Just when Xie Yanqiu breathed a sigh of relief, the footsteps came back again.
Click!
The bedroom door opened.
In the darkness, a tall black figure sneaked in from the door.
Xie Yanqiu, whose adrenal glands were surging, didn't even think about it. He raised the broom in his hand and dropped it on the shadow's head.
"Well!!"
After a few muffled sounds, the bedroom light was turned on.
Han Shuna had just fallen asleep when she was woken up by the noise in Xie Yanqiu's bedroom.
The moment they stood at the door and turned on the light, the two people in the bedroom covered their eyes with their hands because of the stimulation of the bright light.
Han Shuna was stunned, what is going on!
When Xie Yanqiu opened his eyes again, he saw Zhou Qi in a panic.
Xie Yanqiu's hat was knocked crooked. At this time, he was protecting his eyes with one hand and his chest with the other hand.
Xie Yanqiu: "………………"
"why you?!"
She hurriedly threw away the broom in her hand and went over to check Zhou Qi's injuries.
Just now he thought it was a thief, but Xie Yanqiu was very ruthless. Zhou Qi's face was scratched with several fine scratches, and blood was pouring out at this time.
Feeling guilty and guilty, Xie Yanqiu went to find alcohol wipes and came back to disinfect the man.
As soon as he left, he was pulled back by the man. He stretched out his hand to wipe away the blood on his face. Han Shuna next to him was confused: "What are you two doing in the middle of the night?"
"I...I...I thought there was a burglar in the house..."
Xie Yanqiu hesitated. Although this reason sounded funny, it was indeed true.
"Thief?!" Han Shuna tensed up for a moment and subconsciously searched everywhere.
Living alone all year round, she was most afraid of thieves at home, so she went to learn Wing Chun from a master.
Han Shuna rubbed the back of her head, a little embarrassed, but suddenly thought of the man's unusual sneakiness tonight, and subconsciously frowned and glanced at Zhou Qi.
"Why didn't you come back by car tonight? Also, why didn't you turn on the light when you entered? You were wandering back and forth in the living room sneakily..."
Zhou Qi spread his hands, he understood why the woman mistakenly thought he was a thief.
"I looked at the time too late. Xiao Wang had to go to work tomorrow morning. When I just passed the army gate, I got out of the car and let him drive in. I walked downstairs by myself."
"I didn't turn on the lights when I came in because I was afraid of affecting your rest. Even if I was lingering in the living room, I was obviously worried about waking you up when I entered the bedroom."
The man was clearly explaining, but he was pouring out his grievances and Xie Yanqiu's atrocities between the lines.
Xie Yanqiu wished he could find a hole in the dirt and crawl into it!
But in order to maintain face, she still gave herself a stiff smile and said, "Um...are you cold?"
Zhou Qi glanced over angrily: "It's not cold, but now I feel cold."
