He could recite the floor plan, area, and data of every detail of this villa, even more clearly than she did.

"Qiqi..." He murmured her name in a low voice, but his eyes were cold.

…

In the villa, Xia Qi began to search for the notebook based on her memory. However, when she walked to the window sill where the notebook was most likely to be left, she did not see the notebook.

So, Xia Qi searched in other corners of the villa.

No, no, no!

She searched almost all over the first floor, but didn't see the notebook at all, so Xia Qi raised her feet again and walked up to the second floor.

But as soon as she reached the second floor, she was stunned.

Ye Nanqing was leaning against the wall, all wet, and was flipping through a notebook. The familiar cover was the notebook that Xia Qi was looking for.

However, what surprised Xia Qi more than finding the notebook was that she did not expect to see Ye Nanqing like this.

He was extremely embarrassed, his hair was wet and stuck to his cheeks, and water was still dripping from his hair. There was already an obvious puddle of water on the undecorated concrete floor under his feet, which showed how thoroughly he had been soaked.

.

As if feeling her gaze, Ye Nanqing slowly raised his head and looked at Xia Qi, "You're here for this?" He raised the notebook in his hand.

"Yeah." Xia Qi nodded.

"I have an impression of your writing. Are the ideas and plans in it all ideas that you usually think of yourself?" he asked.

"So what?" she asked.

There was a mist in his eyes, and he suddenly smiled, "Not really, I just want to see how you would design this villa. Can you really design the feeling I want?

?”

Xia Qi pursed her lips and said, "Or you can tell me what kind of feeling you want?"

"No, I won't tell you." His eyes were half lowered, and the smile on his lips became more and more blurred. "At least I have five years to wait for you to design."

She choked and stared at the man in front of her. He often knew how to seize people's weaknesses and hit them with one strike.

He was obviously in a state of embarrassment, but yet he was so calm.

"Can you return the notebook to me?" she took a step forward and asked.

He asked, "What if I don't want to pay it back?"

"This notebook is of no use to you."

"But sometimes, I would rather destroy something that is of no use to me."

He said this as if he was hinting at something to her.

"Then what do you want?" Xia Qi said angrily.

"If you want it, just come and get it yourself." He said to her.

He half-closed his eyes, leaning on the wall with all his weight, and the hand holding the notebook fell to his side. He seemed gentle and harmless, but when she walked up to him and wanted to take the notebook away from him, he

But he suddenly bent down and put his head on her shoulder.

"Ye Nanqing, what are you doing!" Xia Qi reflexively wanted to move away, but his waist was held by his hand.

"Don't move, just think of it as my reward for returning the notebook to you, and let me lean on you for a while, just for a little while." He said in a low voice, with a hint of hoarseness in his voice, "I won't do anything except lean on you.

Son."

Her body was stiff, and she always felt that he was a little strange at this moment. Because he was soaked all over, when his head rested on her shoulder, she felt that her shoulder was also slowing down.

Slowly becoming wet.

"Are you okay?" she couldn't help but ask. She thought of the news about his father's death that day.

"What can I do?" A chuckle escaped from his mouth. The next moment, he straightened up, with the expression on his face still so calm and elegant, "I return this notebook to you."

The notebook was back in her hand, and Xia Qi put it into her bag. "Then I'll leave first." After saying that, she walked quickly downstairs.

However, when she reached the first floor and was about to open the door, she suddenly heard a muffled sound from the second floor, like the sound of something heavy falling.

Without thinking much, Xia Qi ran back to the second floor, only to see Ye Nanqing slumped against the wall, breathing heavily.

Xia Qi rushed forward and lifted the moisturizer from Ye Nanqing's cheek. Only then did she see that his cheeks were unnaturally red. She placed her palm on his forehead and felt the warmth in her palm.

, enough to let her know that he was having a fever at the moment.

Come to think of it, he was so wet all over. He didn't know how long he had been in the rain, let alone how long he had been in the villa in such a wet state. It was strange that he would be okay!

"How are you? Can you stand up?" she asked.

"Why are you coming back?" He answered the question.

"No matter what, you can't just die without saving him. If it were anyone else in other places, I would come back," she said.

"Don't worry, I won't die yet." He still has unfinished business, so he won't die no matter what!

"Did you drive here by yourself? Give me the car keys and I will take you back first?" She stretched out her hand and asked for the car keys.

He suddenly laughed, "I learned to drive three years ago, do you still remember to drive like this now?"

At that time, Xia Qi's driver's license was obtained when she was dating Ye Nanqing. "I will not joke with my own life or the lives of others." Xia Qi replied, still holding out her hand.

The white palm looked clean and delicate. He looked at her palm for a moment, then took out the car key from his pocket and put it into her palm.

She took the key and looked out the window. The rain started to fall again. Looking at Ye Nanqing's appearance, she knew that he must not have brought an umbrella. "Is the car parked outside?" she asked.

"Well, it's not far." He said and stood up again. It was as if the weakness and fever he had felt just now didn't exist at all.

Lifting his steps, Ye Nanqing walked down the stairs. Xia Qi followed, but saw Ye Nanqing walking out of the villa all the way, and her whole body was soaked in the rain again.

Xia Qi quickly took the umbrella and ran to Ye Nanqing's side. The umbrella blocked the falling rain, and she shouted to him, "Are you crazy? Why are you getting wet in the rain when you have nothing to do!"

"Do you think the rain is dirty?" he asked suddenly.

She was stunned and didn't understand why he asked so suddenly.

Ye Nanqing continued, "Some people say that rain is dirty, but people who say this must not understand that sometimes, human beings are even dirtier. Being soaked in the rain makes me feel as if I am

It’s like being washed clean.”
