please save me save me

Lu Xiumu was discharged from the hospital the next afternoon and recuperated at home instead.

After recuperating at home for a few days, on a morning with good weather, Lu Xiumu set off for Qiao's headquarters.

He sat in the empty reception room and waited quietly.Qiao Lianjian was having a morning meeting at the moment, and his secretary told Lu Xiumu that it would be over in about half an hour.

Lu Xiumu was so bored that he stood in front of the French window in a daze.Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows, the scenery is indeed very good.At a glance, it is an open artificial lake with blue waves rippling under the breeze.

Many evergreen trees are planted in a circle around the artificial lake.The branches fell in the same direction, rustling.

Looks like it's windy today.

Lu Xiumu originally wanted to open the window to get some fresh air.However, my physical condition has not fully recovered, so I can't be willful.

If Qiao Lianjian suddenly came in later and saw himself blowing the wind, he would have to punish him to death.

Qiao Lianjian was extremely serious in these respects.

So Lu Xiumu sighed, turned back and sat down obediently.

When the wind howling outside the window gradually died down, the door of the reception room was just opened.Qiao Lianjian walked in.

Lu Xiumu looked at his watch, in fact, only twenty or ten minutes had passed.

"Didn't you say that there will be a morning meeting for half an hour? Why is it so fast?" Lu Xiumu stood up and asked Qiao Lianjian with a smile.

Qiao Lianjian turned up the temperature of the heater a little, and then said, "I heard that you were waiting for me, so I ended the meeting early."

Qiao Lianjian took off his coat and put it aside.Then he sat on the sofa beside him, picked up a magazine and flipped through it: "So, you came to see me so early, what's the matter?"

Lu Xiumu hid something behind his back, walked up to Qiao Lianjie, and pretended to be mysterious: "Guess."

Qiao didn't even look up: "Don't hide, I've already seen a corner of the lunch box."

Lu Xiumu pursed his mouth, and took out the thing hidden behind him. It was really a lunch box as Qiao Lianjian said.

Lu Xiumu was a little annoyed: "Did you really see it? I think I hid it very well."

"I didn't see it." Qiao Lianjian replied honestly, "I just smelled the fragrance."

Lu Xiumu: "..."

Only then did Qiao Lian look up from the book to look at him: "It's about you and Qi Lin, right? You want to please me with a meal? Am I that easy to dismiss?"

His tone was cold, but there was still a smile in his eyes.

Lu Xiumu knew that he was just teasing himself on purpose.

Lu Xiumu argued: "That's not true. I heard from your secretary that you have been staying up late for the past few days and didn't have a good rest, so I specially boiled ribs soup to reward you."

Qiao Lianjian was very useful to this set of rhetoric.

He put the magazine aside, took the thermal box in Lu Xiumu's hand, lifted the lid, took out the spoon that was placed aside, and began to taste carefully.

Lu Xiumu secretly observed his expression from the side.

"Tell me, I even drank your soup, what's the matter?"

Lu Xiumu coughed lightly: "Actually, you guessed it right."

Qiao Lianjian paused his movements: "You still want to be with that guy Qi Lin?"

Lu Xiumu didn't answer, it was acquiescence.

Qiao Lianjian lowered his eyes: "You know I'm against it. I've even prepared a plan for how to mess with him in the past few days."

Lu Xiumu was curious: "Really? What kind of plan is it?"

"How to make him bankrupt within half a year." Qiao Lianjian said coldly.

Lu Xiumu knew that Qiao Lianjian was really angry.

But he was angry that he didn't protect his younger brother.

Lu Xiumu smiled, but felt that his nasal cavity was a bit astringent.

"You want to be with him so persistently, just because you like him?"

Lu Xiumu said without hesitation: "No. It's not because I like him."

Qiao Lianjian looked up at him, as if waiting for his next words.

Lu Xiumu put away all his expressions, and continued, "It's not because I like him, but because I want him, and it can only be him."

Qiao Lianjian didn't reply, but put on a thoughtful look.

After a long time, he said, "Forget it, do as you please. Anyway, as an elder brother, I am a soft-spoken person, and I have no right to decide on this matter."

As soon as his words fell, Lu Xiumu walked over and hugged him gently.

Qiao Lianjian was stunned for a moment, some of the soup in his hand spilled out, and a few drops splashed on the back of his hand, which was a little hot.

"Thank you." Lu Xiumu reverently kissed Qiao Lianjian's hair.

This hug lasted for a long time.

After a long time, Lu Xiumu slowly let go of his hand.

Qiao Lianjian immersed himself in drinking the soup, and soon reached the bottom.

"I've said it before, if Qi Lin's hoof does something that I don't like, I won't let him go easily." Qiao Lianjian said it seriously.

Lu Xiumu nodded solemnly: "Well, don't worry."

Qiao Lianjian finished drinking the soup, put the empty bowl aside, folded his hands together, and said with difficulty: "Hey, Xiao Mu... Actually, I have one more thing to tell you."

Lu Xiumu rarely saw Qiao Lianjian hesitate like this.He said: "You say."

Qiao Lianjian seemed to be thinking about how to speak in a more appropriate way. He scratched his hair, looking distressed.

After a long time, he said with difficulty: "Your father, he...will be released from prison soon."

Lu Xiumu's mouth grew wide at that moment, with a surprised expression on his face.

Then he lowered his head and smiled sourly: "That's right, he was only sentenced to ten years. It seems that he performed well in prison and was released early."

Qiao Lianjian stroked Lu Xiumu's frown distressedly: "In front of me, you don't have to force yourself to laugh."

Lu Xiumu turned his head away, leaving only Qiao Lianjian with a side face: "I just, still can't figure it out. Obviously I am his biological son... Even if I am not, I have lived with him for more than ten years ...Why is he so determined to kill me?"

"At that time, he was already out of his mind." Qiao Lianjian said.

Qiao Lianjian let out a very soft sigh: "I hope he can be a good man when he comes out this time."

Seeing that Lu Xiumu was silent, he asked again: "If he comes to you and does something unfavorable to you, he must tell me immediately, and I will handle everything."

"Okay." Lu Xiumu replied.

Lu Xiumu left Qiao's headquarters at eleven o'clock and went to Wonderland.

He hadn't visited Wonderland for many days, so he was still not at ease.

As soon as he opened the door, he was taken aback by the battle in front of him.

All the shop assistants surrounded him and said in a loud voice: "Boss, congratulations on your recovery! Welcome back!"

Everyone had gratified smiles on their faces.

Although Lu Xiumu was greatly moved, he still pretended to be serious: "Okay, I don't have any serious business. You guys go to work, you're all standing here, don't you want to open?"

The clerks pursed their lips and snickered: "The little boss is shy~"

When Lu Xiumu was about to talk about them, they all broke up.

Lu Xiumu stayed on the spot alone, quite helpless.

Suddenly, he caught a figure out of the corner of his eye.

Taking a closer look, the person sitting at the bar is Qi Lin.

Qi Lin also looked at him with a slight smile, apparently he had seen everything just now.

Lu Xiumu was really stunned for a long time, since that day, they haven't seen each other for a long time.He never thought that Qi Lin would appear here.

He sorted out his emotions, walked to the bar, changed into his overalls, and started working.

Qi Lin ordered a cup of coffee and put it in front of him. In front of him was a laptop, typing something.

The two were within a distance of no more than two meters, each doing the work at hand.Even though they haven't said a word, the atmosphere is very reassuring.

After a long time, Qi Lin seemed to have finished the work at hand and closed the computer.

He propped his head up and called out Lu Xiumu's name: "Hey, Lu Xiumu, I'm actually not very good at taking care of others. Is it really okay to be with me?"

His voice was not too loud, Lu Xiumu could just hear it.

Lu Xiumu smiled when he heard this, "I'm an adult now, and I don't need your care."

He was cleaning a glass, put it in front of his eyes, and carefully observed whether there were any stains: "Besides, I am already very happy if you can be with me."

Qi Lin thought about it, and changed the subject: "Hey, when I'm done working these days, let's go out and play together? Let's go to a small place nearby and stay there for one night."

Lu Xiumu turned his attention to him: "As a boss, you actually give yourself a vacation?"

"What's wrong? You should also take a rest. I always feel that you are busier than me sometimes."

Lu Xiumu put the glass in his hand aside and picked up another one.He seemed a little distressed: "Our store lacks employees, I have to come to help."

Qi Lin couldn't believe it: "Your store is getting more and more popular now, but you can't recruit any employees?"

"Well, yes. Some people just want to have fun, and they don't come to work at all. Some just want to be part-time workers, and some are high school students at all. There are very few who meet the conditions." Let out a long sigh.

They just chatted like this, laughing from time to time.

Just when we were talking about something interesting, a figure rushed in hurriedly.

Qi Lin knew it was Yu Zixuan without even guessing.

Yu Zixuan stopped by the bar, gasping for breath, and said in a breathless voice: "Xiao Mu...quick...give me a drink, my throat is going to smoke..."

Lu Xiumu didn't dare to delay for a moment, and went to get her a drink.

Although the weather had warmed up, the sweat on Yu Zixuan's forehead still made Qi Lin feel inconceivable.

Qi Lin carefully tore a napkin and handed it to her: "Here, Ah Xuan, here you are."

Yu Zixuan took it bluntly and wiped it carelessly.She raised her eyebrows and glared at Qi Lin in her usual way: "You can call me Axuan too? This name is exclusive to Xiao Mu!"

Qi Lin was already used to the hostility towards Yu Zixuan, so he just smiled and didn't care about it.

He was still a little curious: "But what's the matter with you, as if you've finished a long-distance race?"

"Isn't it?" She sat down decadently, "A patient in our hospital suddenly disappeared this morning. We all dispatched and searched half the city, but the boy just found an Internet cafe to play games! You say you are angry or not!"

"Are you really a doctor?"

"What's the matter, it doesn't look like it?"

"Well, Qi Lin..." Yu Zixuan touched his nose, as if he had something to say.

Yu Zixuan suddenly softened his attitude, Qi Lin was quite surprised.

Yu Zixuan stood up suddenly, and bowed to Qi Lin: "I know I didn't treat you very well before, and you know the reason. But please, from now on, take good care of Xiao Mu and don't let him down again."

Qi Lin quickly helped her up.

Her bangs were a little wet and pressed tightly to her forehead.

"For me, Xiao Mu is not just a friend, but half a family member. He is really important to me, so please."

Qi Lin looked at the girl in front of him and said, "Okay, definitely."

Just as he was talking, Lu Xiumu came over with a glass of drink.

Yu Zixuan took it, and gulped down half the glass.

She put the cup down on the table very informally, then smiled in relief and said loudly: "Ah, I'm alive!"
