Sheng Liang poured some tea for the two of them, and did not look up: "You have a bad stomach, it's better to eat something light."

It was just a simple sentence, and Sheng Liang probably didn't mind it too much, but when Qiao Xuan heard it, he couldn't help but think of it.

But she knew that that was impossible. Sheng Liang had simply treated her as a friend.

The phone rang again. Qiao Xuan took a look and saw that it was Sheng Qian's phone. He was already at the restaurant.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Qiao Xuan staring at his phone in a daze, Sheng Liang asked lightly.

Qiao Xuan immediately kept his phone: "Nothing."

After the two of them finished eating, an hour had passed. Hearing that it seemed like thunder outside, Sheng Liang said, "Let's go back, it's going to rain in a while."

Qiao Xuan nodded, picked up his bag and followed him out, but who knew that the moment he went out, the rain had already started to fall.

Although it was not pouring rain, it was already past dawn. Once it rained, the temperature would plummet, causing Sheng Liang to tremble as he took off his jacket and draped it over her.

Qiao Xuan raised his head and looked at him, wanting to reject him, but Sheng Liang held his hands down: "Wear it, don't catch a cold."

Although it was very close, it was still a distance away from the company. Sheng Liang looked at the pouring rain and said to Qiao Xuan: "Don't work overtime tonight, I'll drive the car over here and then go home."

Qiao Xuan also felt that it was impossible to work overtime, but even if they went to the car park, it would still rain. She subconsciously grabbed Sheng Liang's clothes and said, "How about we wait for the rain to subside before you drive?"

Sheng Liang did not object, the two of them stood outside the cafeteria under the awning, looking at the vast expanse of whiteness between heaven and earth.

"It's raining. Let's go." A few couples came out, each holding up an umbrella, and ran in different directions.

Seeing them push and squeeze each other just now, Sheng Liang unconsciously pulled Qiao Xuan closer to him. When they left, the two of them realised that their bodies were already sticking together.

"Thank you." Qiao Xuan swept his hair and stealthily dodged to the side.

Sheng Liang noticed her movements, but did not say a word. When she turned her head, something flashed past her eyes.

The phone in Qiao Xuan's bag kept on ringing, but the rain was too loud for her to hear.

"Did you guys not take the umbrella? There's only one left in the store, you guys can take it." The manager of the restaurant came out, holding an umbrella in his hand, he gave it to Sheng Liang.

They looked at each other, thanked the manager, and Sheng Liang said: "Wait here for me, I'm going to drive."

When Qiao Xuan wanted to give him the outer garment, Sheng Liang had already rushed into the rain. However Qiao Xuan saw from behind that the rain was too heavy, the umbrella would not be able to help him at all, causing Sheng Liang's clothes to instantly become completely wet.

Qiao Xuan stood in place, looking at the place where Sheng Liang had already disappeared in the heavy rain, and he couldn't say what he felt in his heart.

After waiting for a while, Sheng Liang drove the car over, holding onto the umbrella as he took Qiao Xuan over, trying his best to not let her get drenched by the rain.

Sheng Liang was drenched from head to toe, even though there was a warm wind blowing on the carriage, Sheng Liang's lips were almost transparent.

However, he still gave a towel to Qiao Xuan: "Wipe your hair dry, be careful not to catch a cold."

Qiao Xuan received it, but did not move it for a long time.

"What's wrong, why haven't you —" Sheng Liang was just about to ask Qiao Xuan why he did not wipe them dry, but before he could finish, he was suddenly kissed by Qiao Xuan.

In just that one moment, Qiao Xuan immediately let go of him. Her heart was thumping loudly like a drum.

Sheng Liang was stunned by her sudden movements. Seeing her sitting at the side, his hair became a little wet, and his jacket that was originally draped over his shoulders also fell to the side due to her actions just now.

He slowly moved his gaze away and looked at the rain curtain shining on the lights in front of him. He said in a low voice, "If there's nothing to be done, then it's better not to do it. You know, I have someone I like."

Qiao Xuan forced a smile, but she still said: "I think clearly, liking you is my problem, you don't have to worry about it."

"Qiao Xuan —" Why would she have to go through so much trouble?

"Alright, let's drive." Qiao Xuan interrupted him. What she could give him was only the last bit of dignity.

Sheng Liang frowned, but did not say anything in the end. He understood in his heart that Qiao Xuan was not someone he could control.

After returning home, Qiao Xuan took a shower and changed clothes. Only when she laid on the bed did she suddenly remember about Sheng Qian, she immediately took out her phone and saw that there were more than 20 missed calls. Just as she was about to call them back, her phone rang again.

It was already this time of the day, and it was still raining. Was he still waiting for her?

Qiao Xuan hurriedly answered, but the voice that came from the other side was not Sheng Qian's, but an unfamiliar man: "May I ask if this is Lady Qiao Xuan?"

Who are you? Where is Sheng Qian? Hearing the other party's tone, Qiao Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

"I'm with the traffic police. Mr. Sheng is in the hospital with a head injury and is undergoing surgery. Can you come over for a moment?"

Hearing the traffic police's words, Qiao Xuan's mind buzzed, and immediately said: "I'll go over right now!"

She never would have thought that Sheng Qian would actually wait for her the entire time. Because it was raining and she encountered a car accident.

She changed into a set of clothes and ran down the stairs, coincidentally met Sheng Liang head on. Seeing her flustered look, Sheng Liang asked: "Did something happen, where are you going?"

Qiao Xuan didn't have time to reply, he only said: "Let me borrow your car for a while."

When she said that, she was already at the door. Sheng Liang didn't even have the time to ask her to hold the umbrella.

When Qiao Xuan arrived at the hospital, he was completely drenched, and his hair was still dripping with water.

At the door of the operation room, the traffic police saw Qiao Xuan and came over to ask: "Is this Miss Qiao?"

Qiao Xuan's lips were numb from the cold and she was unable to say a single word.

"Well, his car was parked by the side of the road and he was on the phone in the car and a truck skidded and hit him and he fainted. "We looked at his phone and saw that the numbers were all yours, so we called you. We brought the driver to the traffic police, if your family has any problems, come and find me there. This is my phone number." The traffic police took out a piece of paper and handed it over to Qiao Xuan, then saluted to her, "I'll be leaving first, contact me if there's anything."

Just as the traffic police left, the door to the operation room opened too. Sheng Qian was pushed out.

The nurse asked: "You are Sheng Qian's relative right?"

Qiao Xuan was still hesitating on how to reply, when Sheng Qian said in a weak voice: "She is, you guys can tell her anything."

At a time like this, how could he still have the heart to take advantage of her? However, looking at the thick gauze wrapped around his head that was leaking out dark red blood, Qiao Xuan restrained himself and said: "I am."
