Ch 318: Big Brother Extra ━ The End
Qin Yuexi watched Huo Xingye enter the building without looking back, then, with a flushed face, she muttered as she started the car, “Who wants to dream about you, shameless…” Her heart was in turmoil. Not wanting to return to her empty home, she drove around the city, eventually turning toward her dad’s hospital.
It was already past visiting hours, but the benefit of a top-level VIP hospital room is having special privileges, including a private elevator that goes directly to the top-floor ward.
“Miss Qin.” Nurses passing by in the hallway greeted Qin Yuexi in hushed voices.
Qin Yuexi nodded with a smile, taking it as a response. Reaching her father’s ward, the caregiver opened the door just as she arrived, looking slightly surprised, “Miss Qin, why are you here so late?”
Qin Yuexi smiled, “I was just passing by and wanted to check in. How is my dad?”
The caregiver was a middle-aged uncle, strong and attentive, very professional in his care, “I just finished giving Mr. Qin a sponge bath. Mr. Qin is still unconscious. The doctor said the blood clot has mostly dissipated, so he shouldn’t be in a coma for this long.”
Qin Yuexi wasn’t surprised, “Thank you for your hard work. I’ll stay with my dad for a while.”
The uncle nodded, “Then I’ll come back later.”
Qin Yuexi entered the ward, her eyes already brimming with tears as she walked to the bedside, “Dad, you’re growing white hair. Don’t you hate white hair the most? Wake up quickly, and I’ll go with you to dye your hair.”
The man on the hospital bed remained motionless, the most qualified listener.
Qin Yuexi sat by the bed, holding her father’s hand, and said softly, “Dad, the company is saved. Because of… someone.” She paused for two seconds, “I can feel that he probably has feelings for me, and I…”
Qin Yuexi was a little embarrassed. If her dad were awake, she wouldn’t dare say it, “Me too.” She smiled, “A man like him, if he lowers his stance and seriously pursues someone, no one should be able to resist, right?”
“Dad, I want to try.” Qin Yuexi’s hand gripped slightly tighter, “Even if we can’t be together in the end, having a relationship with him would be a beautiful experience.”
Qin Yuexi put her father’s hand back into the blanket and stood up, “Dad, please wake up soon.”
She stood by the bed for a while, then turned and left the ward. She didn’t look back, so she didn’t see the man on the hospital bed struggling to open his eyes a crack, but only for a moment before his eyes closed uncontrollably again.
The days drowned in work passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was the day the brain specialist came to Yuncity. After the forum summit, Williams got directly into the car sent by Huo Xingye and headed straight to the hospital.
Huo Xingye and Qin Yuexi were already waiting at the ward door, accompanied by the attending physician of Qin’s father and the hospital’s brain specialists.
After Williams arrived, he first greeted Huo Xingye, then held a discussion with a group of doctors, understood the basic situation, and then gave Qin’s father a series of examinations.
The final conclusion: the patient is recovering well, and sleeping for too long may be because he is too tired and his body needs him to rest.
Qin Yuexi thought he was joking. How tired could he be to sleep for two months?
Williams shrugged, indicating that the person would wake up soon, so there was no need to worry or be anxious. The examination results showed that everything was developing in a good direction.
After Huo Xingye and Qin Yuexi saw Williams off, they looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile.
Qin Yuexi shook her head and sighed, “No problem was solved.”
“Not exactly.” Huo Xingye said, “At least we don’t have to worry all the time anymore, and we have hope. Uncle will wake up sooner or later.”
Qin Yuexi nodded with a smile, “Treat you to a meal?”
Huo Xingye shook his head, and before Qin Yuexi could show a disappointed expression, he said, “It’s my turn to treat you, but not to a meal.”
Qin Yuexi was full of doubts.
Huo Xingye looked her up and down, and said, “Let’s go, go back and change your clothes first.”
Qin Yuexi followed, confused, “Why do I need to change clothes? Where are we going?”
Huo Xingye didn’t say, “Just come with me, dare you?”
He reached out his hand to her.
Qin Yuexi looked at his slender, jade-like hand, raised her eyebrows, and smiled. She raised her hand and placed it on his, “What wouldn’t I dare to do?”
Huo Xingye held her hand until they got into the car before letting go.
At six o’clock in the evening, various lights on the road were turned on one after another, colorful and beautiful, but the most beautiful was the newly built amusement park in the east of the city.
“You’re taking me to an amusement park?” Qin Yuexi said, between laughter and tears, “I haven’t been here since I became an adult.”
“I’m taking you back to your childhood today.” Huo Xingye pulled her into the amusement park.
Qin Yuexi went inside and realized that there wasn’t a single tourist besides the staff. She was surprised, “Did you rent the whole place?”
“Yes.” Huo Xingye turned his head and asked, “Which one do you want to play first?”
Qin Yuexi also became interested, “The roller coaster!”
Without having to wait in line, even though time was limited, there were too many rides they could play. After trying them all, they were both covered in sweat.
Qin Yuexi dabbed her face with a tissue and laughed, “Oh no, my image is ruined.”
Huo Xingye scoffed, “Your image was gone the day you got drunk.”
Qin Yuexi covered her face, “When will this be over?”
“It’ll never be over.” Huo Xingye said very seriously, “I will always remember.” Remember that day when he was leaving, he heard suppressed crying, crying particularly pitifully, vaguely calling out “Dad,” saying “I’m sorry,” and vaguely asking for help.
For some inexplicable reason, his heart softened.
Probably because no one had ever cried so miserably and pitifully in front of him like Qin Yuexi.
Qin Yuexi didn’t know why, and was so ashamed that she was about to fall apart, “So embarrassing.”
“No, very cute.” Huo Xingye lowered his head and chuckled, even showing a bit of a shy expression, “Qin Yuexi, shouldn’t our relationship change a little?”
Qin Yuexi paused and slowly lowered the hand covering her face, seeing an expression she had never seen on Huo Xingye’s face before.
Forceful with a bit of apprehension, confident with a bit of uncertainty, in short, not as confident and composed as he usually was.
Qin Yuexi couldn’t help but laugh. It turned out that even the most excellent people would feel insecure when facing someone they liked. She said, “Okay.”
Huo Xingye breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and the smile spread from his eyebrows and eyes to the corners of his lips, “Qin Yuexi, are you willing to date me with marriage as the premise?”
Qin Yuexi raised a bright smile, and the young lady’s arrogance came back, “Then I’ll reluctantly give you this opportunity.”
Huo Xingye nodded seriously, “My honor.”
“Whoosh—Boom!”
Fireworks exploded in the distance, and the dim sky suddenly bloomed with colorful flowers, one after another, breathtakingly beautiful.
Qin Yuexi was very surprised. Who would have thought that a cold, domineering president like Huo Xingye would do such romantic little things!
The fireworks lasted for nearly twenty minutes before ending. After the last firework disappeared, Huo Xingye turned his head and asked, “Are you happy?”
Qin Yuexi nodded with a smile, “Thank you.”
Huo Xingye said as if making a promise, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. You can come to me with any problems.”
Qin Yuexi was stunned again, “You… you brought me to the amusement park to help me relax?”
Huo Xingye remained noncommittal, “Looks like the effect is good.”
Qin Yuexi’s eyes suddenly turned red, “You’re such a… such a person.”
Huo Xingye opened his arms, “Hug, don’t cry.”
Qin Yuexi rushed over, nestled in Huo Xingye’s chest, thinking that her confidence in this relationship seemed to have grown a little more.
