As the two walked and chatted, Qin Xue would burst into laughter from time to time. It was unclear what they were talking about, but everyone on the playground would greet Chu Molin and ask about his injury.
Every time, Chu Molin would coldly respond with just two words: “I’m fine.” These two words were enough to dismiss everyone.
Qin Xue found it hard to believe. How could he be so responsive to her, going so far as to find other things to talk about, yet be so concise and cold with others?
He was the epitome of a cold demeanor, and now she understood why he was nicknamed the Cold King.
Only those who have a special place in his heart can capture his full attention.
As for his friends, he shows his care with brutal training so they can save their lives in times of danger.
It’s just that different people express care in different ways. His colleagues only see his coldness and ruthlessness, but they can’t understand the meaning behind it.
Perhaps it’s not that all of them fail to understand; it’s just that not everyone can comprehend.
For instance, people like Li Dabao and Ding Xi understand Chu Molin’s intentions and were so worried about him when he was injured.
Many people haven’t experienced life-threatening situations and thus, can’t comprehend the feelings of entrusting one’s life to another.
Qin Xue’s heart ached for him; this man had given so much.
She held his hand tight, and they continued walking in circles.
“What’s wrong?” Chu Molin sensed Qin Xue’s mood change and asked her.
“Nothing. I just want to walk faster.” Qin Xue couldn’t exactly tell him that her heart aches for him, could she?
She felt embarrassed by the thought, so she decided not to say it.
“Alright, let’s go.” Chu Molin didn’t doubt her words. As long as he didn’t touch his wound, he wouldn’t feel any pain, so walking faster was fine.
When they finally finished walking and returned home, Qin Xue plopped down into a chair, feeling a bit tired.
She didn’t know if it was because of her twin pregnancy, but her legs were slightly swollen. With three more months left, how would she deal with the swelling later?
Qin Xue was a doctor, although not an OB-GYN, she knew a thing or two.
Her current swelling might be due to the fact that her sleep and food intake hadn’t been great while taking care of Chu Molin in the hospital this past week.
As lone as she soaks her feet in hot water to promote blood circulation and drinks some winter melon soup later on, she should be fine. Otherwise, she doesn’t know how she’ll manage the last three months.
Chu Molin noticed that Qin Xue started massaging her feet as soon as she sat down, which was unusual.
He closed the door, pulled a stool over to sit across from her, and took her foot to massage it on his lap.
“Chu Molin, you…” Qin Xue was touched by his actions. This man always took action instead of speaking, proving with every action that she was in his heart.
Chu Molin looked up at her without saying a word, then looked back d0ievn to continue massaging her foot.
His expression seemed calm, but inside, he was already overwhelmed.
He knew that pregnancy could be hard, but not this hard. Her feet were so swollen that pressing them would leave a dent.
Yet she still kept walking with him for such a long time. No wonder she immediately sat down and massaged her feet when they got home.
He also blamed himself for not caring enough about her or he would have noticed her discomfort sooner.
“Is there a solution for this?” Chu Molin asked abruptly.
“What?” Qin Xue looked at him in confusion, not sure what he meant.
“Your feet.” Chu Molin pursed his lips and softly said the three words. “Oh, this? It’s a normal reaction. As long as I pay more attention later on, I’ll be fine.
Tomorrow, I’ll buy some winter melon to make soup; it’ll help with the swelling.” Qin Xue finally understood what he meant.
“Mhm.” Not knowing how to express his heartache, Chu Molin’s usual cold demeanor emerged..
