The things happening at the Li family were completely unknown to Chi Enen, who was far away in Lin City.
After making a call to Old Master Li, she also called Quan Dongting, briefly explaining the situation there and asking him to help look after Nuonuo and pick up Baby Chi after school.
After hanging up, she returned to the ward.
In the VIP ward, white walls, white bed sheets and quilt, lay a pale-faced person.
Chi Enen pulled up a chair and sat beside the sickbed, staring unblinkingly at the person on the bed.
Her gaze slid from his smooth forehead, down to his eyebrows, and then from the heroic spirit of his eyebrows to his tightly closed eyes.
Because the person on the bed lay quietly, completely still.
So she could clearly see the manâs thick eyelashes.
Chi Enen rarely saw someone with eyelashes as curled as Li Beijueâs. Usually, menâs eyelashes are shorter, and some even seem to have none. But Li Beijue is different; his eyelashes are like little fans, especially noticeable when he squints.
Moreover, his features are naturally of that defined, deep-set kind, making his long eyelashes emphasize his mixed-race appearance.
Someone who doesnât know would definitely think heâs mixed-blood at first glance due to his features and eyelashes being unlike people from Country W.
Chi Enen couldnât help but reach out her hand, her fingertips lightly brushing across his long, thick eyelashes. A tingly sensation traveled through her fingers as they slid down the tall bridge of his nose, gliding down until they landed on his pale, bloodless but still sexy thin lipsâ¦
Perhaps due to his personality, his thin lips appeared pale from blood loss, yet the temperature of his lips hadnât decreased, remaining scorching hot, as if there was a fire hidden beneath those pale thin lips, causing her fingertips to tremble with the heat.
Chi Enen withdrew her gaze, her eyes involuntarily falling on his head still wrapped in gauze, her lips pressed into a straight line.
âââChi Enen, get out of the way!â
âââHurry up and leave while these people are still down!â
âââDamn it, hurry up and go, did you hear that!â
Scenes from the logistics warehouse flashed before her eyes, causing her heart to tighten involuntarily.
She looked at the man sleeping on the sickbed with complicated emotions.
Maybe it was because his eyes were closed, but he seemed to have completely lost his usual domineering forcefulness, his handsome face resembling Apollo, the sun god fallen to earth, perfect like a cast.
Chi Enen stared at his face, slightly lost in thought.
She remembered the expression Li Beijue had when the chair was about to fall on her, as well as the tone of his voice.
Whether it was his expression at that time or his tone, it was very much like before.
Especially when he dashed over, grabbing the back of her head and forcefully burying it into his chest to silence her. In that instant, she truly had the feeling that he remembered.
As if he hadnât forgotten her at all!
Chi Enen smiled bitterly, thinking the idea was absurd. How could Li Beijue suddenly remember her?
Butâ¦
She couldnât describe the feeling Li Beijue gave her in that instant, as he held her, protected her, and refused to let go even at the cost of his life. She truly felt that he remembered.
If he hadnât remembered, how long have they known each other?
Why would he protect her at the risk of his own life?
