A skin-thirsty episode occurred, in her brother's arms.

Qin Ge took Xu Xingchen to a place that even Xu Xingchen had never been before.

The quiet Qin Ge was even more terrifying than his silence.

Qin Ge's current state is hardly normal.

It's like a volcano that's been suppressed to the extreme.

Xu Xingchen tried to ease the tension, "Why did you come out? How are your injuries?"

Qin Ge didn't say anything and led him into the room.

He started packing, took a large suitcase, and began filling it with things.

"Qin Ge! What are you doing now?"

Xu Xingchen reached out and stopped him.

It was only then that they noticed that blood had seeped through the bandages on Qin Ge's hands again.

Considering Qin Ge's current situation.

"You snuck out? Where are Aunt Ci and the others? Do they know you're here?"

"Your wound has reopened. Do you have any medicine here?"

Qin Ge stared intently at Xu Xingchen, his voice hoarse.

"Let's go, stars, let's go."

"I'll take care of everything, no matter where we go."

"I don't want anything, I just want you."

"Don't be so cruel, Star."

"I can't stand it."

He simply couldn't accept being separated from Xu Xingchen.

A hint of worry flashed in Xu Xingchen's eyes. "Take care of the wound on your hand first."

Qin Ge seemed to have grasped at a straw, "You still care about me, right? You're still worried about me."

Xu Xingchen began searching for the medicine box himself.

Qin Ge has a habit of organizing things; his first-aid kit is usually kept in a drawer in the living room.

After rummaging through several drawers, he found the medicine box.

He didn't answer Qin Ge's question, but began to change the dressing on Qin Ge's hand.

He only discovered the numerous scrapes and bruises on Qin Ge's body after he rolled up Qin Ge's sleeves.

It looks like it was bumped.

Since Xu Xingchen and Qin Ge met, apart from the time he was kidnapped, Qin Ge had never suffered such serious injuries.

He felt a stab to his heart, and kept his head down, avoiding Qin Ge's gaze. "What happened?"

Qin Ge leaned against Xu Xingchen's shoulder. "They bully me. They all bully me when you're not around."

Yun Ci is, after all, her biological mother, so Qin Ge's words carry so little weight that they can be ignored.

"Don't do that again. Does Aunt Ci not know you came here? Give her a call and tell her, so she doesn't worry."

Qin Ge started reading random replies, "As long as you're by my side, I won't get hurt, I promise."

Xu Xingchen said softly, "Qin Ge, this matter is settled, there is no room for negotiation."

Fate pushed him forward.

The drug trial needs to be conducted there.

His advisor used his connections to get in touch with Professor Weinberg, who agreed to take him on.

The application form that Qin Ge had rejected was also approved by Yun Ci.

I've bought the plane tickets and arranged my accommodation there.

Everything is ready.

Qin Ge persisted, "Then I'll go with you."

Xu Xingchen said, "Your company can't function without you for the time being. Aunt Ci still has things for you to do. The Yun family and the Qin family's development focus is not in Y country."

The more Xu Xingchen explained, the darker the shadow in Qin Ge's eyes became.

He slowly loosened his grip.

"In the end, all you want to do is leave me."

"Everything is just an excuse."

Xu Xingchen opened his mouth, but couldn't refute it.

The atmosphere began to freeze. Suddenly, Qin Ge hugged Xu Xingchen and bit him hard on the neck.

That bite drew blood.

He tasted blood, a strong rusty taste, and a bit salty.

"Why is it so cruel?"

Why didn't you leave me even the slightest hope?

He can coordinate everything, he can handle everything, and for Xu Xingchen, he can even back down again and again.

He can't live without Xu Xingchen unless he dies.

He was dark, paranoid, and insane.

He has half Qin Siyuan's blood flowing in his veins.

He had countless dark thoughts in his head. Since childhood, he had used various means to squeeze out the people around Xu Xingchen.

One after another.

He firmly occupied the position next to Xu Xingchen, not allowing anyone to take it from him.

He clung tightly to Xu Xingchen, drawing nourishment from him to grow.

Xu Xingchen is sunshine, nourishment, and air.

The blood in his mouth grew thicker and thicker, but Xu Xingchen didn't utter a sound.

He simply reached out and placed his hand against his chest, creating distance between them.

My arm was still trembling slightly.

His sunshine, his stars, have already rejected him to this extent.

What a failure.

Qin Ge released Xu Xingchen.

She collapsed onto the sofa on the other side, completely drained of her strength.

Qin Ge: "You can leave now."

"Star, this is your last chance."

I still can't bear to part with it.

He had medicine in his bag; he had considered sleeping with Xu Xingchen forever.

The scene was so beautiful that just thinking about it made his heart pound.

In the end, I still couldn't bear to part with it.

Xu Xingchen dug his fingertips into his own, forcefully suppressing a symptom of the illness.

"I will call you as soon as I arrive in Y country."

Qin Ge: "I don't need it anymore."

It was like a bucket of ice water being poured over Xu Xingchen's head, soaking him from head to toe, chilling him to the bone.

A chill permeated even the deepest bones.

The trembling arms stopped, and for a moment, the mind also stopped working.

He couldn't figure out what Qin Ge meant by those words, and he didn't want to guess the worst.

"Let's go, the door's over there, and the car keys' on the table."

Qin Ge's voice was cold, devoid of any warmth, a stark contrast to how he usually spoke to Xu Xingchen.

Xu Xingchen silently got up, intending to leave.

Qin Ge, "The key."

Xu Xingchen was in a daze and didn't even know when he had taken the key.

Qin Ge suddenly spoke, "Will you remember me?"

He added, "Never mind, it's not important anymore, let's go."

Xu Xingchen's mind went blank. He went out, closed the gate, found the car, and got in.

All actions are now driven by instinct.

He still messed everything up, and he and Qin Ge ended up in the last place he wanted to see.

He rested his head on the steering wheel.

Qin Ge's actions just now replayed in my mind over and over again.

When he reminded him to get the keys, he seemed to glance at him.

Xu Xingchen was a bit confused at the time and didn't think too much about it.

As reason slowly returned, Xu Xingchen began to realize that something was amiss.

Qin Ge isn't someone who gives up easily. He'll most likely do what he did before: if he really said those things in a fit of anger, he wouldn't ask him for the keys.

And those last two sentences.

No, no, that's not right.

Qin Ge's reaction was wrong.

Xu Xingchen suddenly felt a sudden, inexplicable panic. He hurriedly opened the car door and ran in the direction he had come from.

He didn't see the road clearly and tripped on the steps. Ignoring the pain, he got up and kept running.
