Xia Mei heard her daughter's voice hoarseness and asked, "Qiqi, why is your voice weird? Your voice is uncomfortable?"

"I went to bed late yesterday." Xia Qi said, not wanting her mother to know about her experience yesterday and the fact that she cried all night.

Fortunately, Xia Mei did not arouse suspicion, but just asked her daughter to pay attention to her sleep in the future and not to go to bed too late.

When getting in the car, Xia Qi specially brought an ice-cold eye mask. Thinking that she would wear an eye mask for 4 or 5 hours in the car and wear an eye mask, she could slightly press the swelling of her eyes so that she would not let her mother find her eyes that had obviously cried.

Along the way, Xia Qi wore an eye mask and leaned her head on Jun Jinyan's shoulder. Because her eyes were closed and dark, the feeling of her body became clearer, just like the skin on her face felt the fabric of his clothes more clearly, while her hands felt the touch of his palm skin, his temperature, and the calluses in his palm.

Even if he is a pampered young master, it does not mean that he will have no calluses on his hands. During the training of the Jun family, there were special teachers since childhood, teaching him various fighting, shooting skills, etc., all in order to enhance his own abilities.

Although Jinyan was in City Z and not in City B, the courses she should have learned were not lost. And Xia Qi clearly remembered that at that time, when she first knew that he wanted to learn these courses, they were only 7 years old. At that time, he was still suffering from severe autism, and he had to follow her all day long.

Like usual, if she was sick and didn't go to school if she took leave, he would definitely not go to school and would only follow her closely. However, he never missed the physical training courses arranged by the Jun family in his spare time, and he would even go there obediently without her accompanying him.

At that time, whenever he had these courses, she would look very happy because she could finally get rid of the tail behind her. She even hoped that there would be more courses so that he would not have time to follow her again.

Thinking about it now, it is really funny. She hated him at that time, but now she loves him.

If one day she would go back to that time, what would she do? She thought that she would accompany him to attend those courses, watching him train, or training with him, she would not always avoid him and avoid him like she did when she was a child, and would not allow him to follow him too close to him, but would take the initiative to grab his hand and hold the little him.

She would tell him that she would always be with him. Even if she left for a while, he didn't need to worry or be afraid, because she would definitely return to him.

When he closed his eyes like this, his appearance when he was a child gradually appeared in her mind, becoming clearer and clearer...

"Jinyan, why did you take the initiative to attend the Jun family's physical training classes every time before? Do you like those classes?" Xia Qi asked curiously.

Jun Jinyan looked down at Xia Qi who was leaning against his shoulder. At this moment, her eyes were covered in blindfolds. All he could see was her small nose, full lips, and her slightly pointed jaw.

"Because my father told me that only when he is strong enough can he protect the person he wants to protect." And he wanted to protect her and become strong enough, so even if he finished those courses, his body seemed to be disintegrated, and he still insisted on learning every move taught by the teacher.

Xia Qi's body trembled slightly, and her fingertips rubbed the calluses on Jun Jinyan's palms carefully. The answer was something she had never expected. He was only 7 years old that year. Did he think about it when he was 7 years old?

And he, the person he wants to protect, can know without asking, that it will definitely be - her!

Her vicious words have always been protecting her and using his way to keep her from being hurt.

Raising his hand, Xia Qi slowly pulled down his blindfold and looked up at Jun Jinyan, "You are already very strong now, and you have always protected me well."

His black eyes stared at her, "Do you really feel that?"

"Yeah." She nodded, pulled his hand, lowered her head and kissed the calluses in his palm. "These calluses are all precious gifts you gave me, and they are all proof that you want to protect me."

The car drove to City Z in the afternoon. Downstairs of her community, Xia Qi was hesitant, "You said, if I ask my mother, is Shen Yeding my father, will it be bad for her?" Her mother's physical condition was what she was worried about.

After hearing this, Jun Jinyan took out his cell phone, dialed the number, and then asked on the other end of the phone. The general idea was almost what Xia Qi said just now. The only thing that didn't say explicitly was that Shen Yeding might be Xia Qi's father.

After a moment, he responded and ended the call.

Xia Qi asked a little embarrassedly, "Who were you calling just now?"

"Aunt, she said there should be no big problem. It has been a while since the operation, so something is not so easy to get into trouble." Jun Jinyan said, but his eyes were heavy.

What he didn't say was that his aunt's voice on the phone sounded hoarse and broken. In his memory, there were only 10 young people. When he was vomiting in the hospital because he was disgusted by other people's touch, his aunt cried, hugged him, and let his vomit vomit sound her.

At that time, my aunt kept saying sorry and said he wanted to get better no matter what.

At that time, my aunt, who had always been strong, looked more fragile than him.

But today, my aunt was using such a voice to reply to his phone. Is it because of my aunt? Jun Jinyan felt a little uneasy.

However, he also knew that with his aunt's personality, if she didn't want to say anything to others, she would never say a word.

It was as if she had never said anything extra to him on the phone just now. In the end, she hung up the phone in a hurry.

"What's wrong?" Jun Jinyan's brief silence made Xia Qi a little surprised, "Did my aunt say something else?"

"No, my aunt said nothing else." Jun Jinyan replied.

But it is precisely because I didn't say anything that makes people feel that something must have happened.
