After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

The watch Ji Yuqiao gave was too expensive. After seeing it, Wen Li felt that she couldn't afford the cheap gift in her pocket.

After having dinner with Xiao Yu, she left in a hurry.

Wen Li originally wanted to throw away the gift box, but when she saw the expectant look in Ji Zeqiu's eyes, she felt guilty for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she had already given the gift box to him.

Ji Zeqiu couldn't wait to open it, and inside lay a pair of silver cufflinks.

After Xiao Yu started working in the studio, he often wore suits, so Wen Li thought of buying him a pair of cufflinks.

Although it is not expensive, the shape is exquisite and beautiful.

"It's really beautiful. I like it very much." Ji Zeqiu's eyes were full of energy. He reached out and took Wen Li into his arms. "Thank you for your gift."

Wen Li's eyes flickered, and her tone was stiff, "I... I don't have much money, so I can't afford an expensive gift..."

"As long as it's a gift from you, I like it no matter what it is." Ji Zeqiu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Hearing his words, Wen Li was dazed for a moment.

It seems that this is indeed the case...

She and Ji Zeqiu have known each other for many years. In the past, on his birthday, she would occasionally give him some handmade gifts, but no matter what they were, he would be very happy after receiving them.

"As long as you like it." Wen Li raised her red lips and finally showed her first smile of the day, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

After Wen Li returned to her room, Ji Zeqiu was still holding the pair of cufflinks in his hands, ecstatically examining them as if they were treasures.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and the smile on his face froze.

Two letters are engraved on the back of the small cufflinks.

X, Y.

Xiao Yu.

Ji Zeqiu silently recited the name, and the happy expression on his face slowly faded. His mood suddenly fell to the bottom, and the uncomfortable emotions surged like a tide, drowning him.

How excited he was the last second, how sad he felt now.

"Ze Qiu, my toothbrush accidentally fell into the toilet. Do you have a new one?" Wen Li came out of the bathroom with a look of annoyance on her face.

"besides."

Ji Zeqiu concealed the sad look on his face so that she wouldn't notice anything. His face returned to normal and he turned around to get her a new toothbrush.

-

Perhaps because of the fans' calls, Ji Yuqiao's work intensity has decreased in recent days and he has gradually gained more holidays.

In the past, Ji Zeqiu would have rushed home impatiently.

However, two days into the holiday, he was still staying at Shen Qingtang's house, unwilling to go back.

He was afraid that as soon as he saw Wen Li, he would remember the gift that was given to him.

Shen Qingtang happened to be living in the crew during this period, which made it convenient for him to be alone.

The sun rose, and the orange-yellow sunlight illuminated every place, but in a small apartment, thick curtains were drawn to block the sunlight outside.

The room was as dark as night.

Ji Zeqiu lay in bed, unable to tell the difference between day and night. It was not the alarm clock that woke him up, but the cramps in his stomach.

He groaned, woke up from his dream, and tightly grasped the painful part of his stomach.

His muscles kept twitching, as if someone was stirring his stomach with a dagger. The pain was so severe that cold sweats broke out all over his body, and even the entire bed was slippery.

Ji Zeqiu's eyes were dim and blurry. He clenched his teeth and forced himself to hold on to the last bit of consciousness and called his agent.

His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, "Brother Zhao, I'm at Shen Qingtang's house, take me to the hospital."

After saying that, he fainted.

When he woke up again, Ji Zeqiu was already in the hospital.

He had kept the curtains drawn at Shen Qingtang's house and hadn't seen the sun for a long time. At this moment, sunlight shone in from the hospital window, making everything look white and making his eyes sore.

The cramps in my stomach subsided and my spirit, which had been suffering from the pain, felt much better.

The hand placed at his side was held by someone, and a warmth spread from his palm to his entire body...

Ji Zeqiu sighed in his heart. It seemed that Brother Zhao was very worried and had been guarding in the ward.

"Brother Zhao, I..." He turned his head, but was stunned when he saw that beautiful profile.

Why is she here?

"Hmm?" Lin Xu groaned in her clear voice, slowly opened her eyes, met Ji Zeqiu's eyes, and froze in shock.

"What's wrong?" Ji Zeqiu was puzzled.

Lin Xu's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears rolled in her eyes, which was heartbreaking to see.

Ji Zeqiu chuckled, "You're crying so hard, could it be that I have some terminal illness?"

"Pfft! What nonsense!" Lin Xu interrupted him immediately, "The doctor just said that you have gastroenteritis, which is probably caused by irregular diet and random eating in the past few days."

When she rushed to Shen Qingtang's house, she saw many takeout boxes piled on the table, and he was lying on the bed, his body cold and his face pale as if he was dead.

She was so scared that her heart almost stopped.

Thinking back on it now, Lin Xu still feels a little scared.

Ji Zeqiu pursed his lips and was about to speak when he saw Lin Xu suddenly pounce on him and hug him tightly.

"Don't put yourself in this situation again. Do you know how scared I am..." Her voice was choked with sobs.

Ji Zeqiu looked a little awkward, "I'm fine, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll die..."

Ji Zeqiu suddenly felt the clothes on his shoulders were wet. When he realized something, his body suddenly froze.

A sour and numb feeling surged in his chest, but he also felt warm inside.

When he was sick in the past, Wen Li would occasionally be there to take care of him.

Whenever he saw Wen Li, he always felt very happy, just like when someone else was sick and had their mother to take care of them, and Wen Li was by his side.

But he didn't know since when, when he woke up from his illness, the person he saw was no longer Wen Li, but Lin Xu...

Every time it was just a minor illness, she would always worry so much that she even cried.

Although he didn't like this woman, he felt a strange warmth in his heart.

Listening to her sobbing in his ears, Ji Zeqiu could only stammer and coax her, "I, I'm fine... Don't cry..."

"Tell me if you have any problems in the future, and don't go out alone again." A sad and dull voice came from my shoulder.

"Okay." Ji Zeqiu agreed awkwardly, stretched out his other hand that was not receiving the IV drip, and gently patted her back.

After a while, Lin Xu stopped crying and came out of his arms.

She wiped away her tears and said fiercely, "Don't tell anyone that I cried!"

Ji Zeqiu's ears flushed with an imperceptible blush, and he stiffened his neck and said, "I'm too lazy to say it."

"Okay, I'll call the doctor to check you out." Lin Xu turned around and was about to go out.

Suddenly, her hand was grabbed.

Lin Xu turned around and found that Ji Zeqiu was holding her hand. A blush flashed across her cheeks and she hesitated, "Can you please not leave yet..."
