Lost [Transmigration Book]

Zhao Rong thought about it, and unconsciously looked at Qiao Nanqi for several seconds.

He was lost in thought, but after all, he still stared straight at Qiao Nanqi for a while. This kind of gaze could have made Qiao Nanqi easily distracted, but at this moment, Qiao Nanqi paid attention to his wound and missed it. up.

Looking at the wound, Qiao Nanqi was almost overwhelmed with guilt.

When Zhao Rong was by his side, he belittled and ignored him, not even knowing the cause of his stomach trouble.Now that Zhao Rong broke up with him, he clearly told himself that staying by Zhao Rong's side would make Zhao Rong happy, but he didn't even do that.

If Zhao Rong is injured again next time...

No, there will be no next time.

He can't let Zhao Rong get hurt again.

"Zhao Rong..."

Qiao Nanqi thought about it, and subconsciously said, "I'm sorry."

Zhao Rong was taken aback.

He felt Qiao Nanqi's gaze on his body, then lowered his head, and saw that the gauze was torn off, revealing the unhealed wound, and the inside of the gauze was obviously red.

Only then did he realize what Qiao Nanqi was sorry for.

This time, he didn't put aside the topic like last time.

He used to talk to everyone without consciously being euphemistic, but I don't know if it was because of the casualness of this period of time, or when the dust settled at this moment, the restraint on him was actually released.

He said bluntly: "I don't like people who talk about apologizing every day."

Qiao Nanqi opened his mouth and stopped talking.

The silence was only broken when the nurse changed Zhao Rong's dressing.

She said to Zhao Rong: "If you can't stand the pain, you can continue to take pain relief today."

"No need," Zhao Rong smiled, and said in a joking tone, "It feels good, not because I can't bear it. This way I can feel the healing of my injury, and it's pretty good."

The nurse was taken aback, "It's the first time I see you say that."

Although Zhao Rong's lips were still pale and his complexion was pale, but he smiled slightly, which neutralized the slight weakness.

The nurse knew that Zhao Rong's status was unusual, and her hands and feet were restrained when changing the dressing, but because of Zhao Rong's smile, she felt much more relaxed, and her movements were brisk.After the anti-inflammatory injection, she said to Zhao Rong in a good mood: "If you need anything, or if there is a problem with the wound, just ring the bell and I will be back."

"Thank you."

Looking at it, Qiao Nanqi felt a little sour.

Sour and sour, after the ward returned to silence again, his expression suddenly paused.

Zhao Rong had already picked up the newly bought mobile phone and started setting it up. Qiao Nanqi suddenly took a step forward and sat down beside the hospital bed, his tone trembling in disbelief: "...What did you just say?"

"Huh?" Zhao Rong didn't even look up, just fiddled with the new phone, "What?"

"You just said..." Qiao Nanqi paused.

——"I don't like people who apologize every day."

This seems to have another meaning.

This speculation was so unbelievable that it was immediately suppressed by Qiao Nanqi.

He didn't even dare to ask, he just wanted to keep this illusion, holding on to it might just be the happiness brought by his overthinking.

He changed his words: "I will not let this kind of thing happen again in the future."

Zhao Rong didn't care: "Where would someone like Chen Jingnian meet another one? This time I took the risk because I didn't want him to run away, as long as the hospital is fine."

He logged in to his social account, and with his only left hand that can use force now, he can slowly process the backlog of messages in the past two days.

After everything was processed, he realized that the little girl in the pet shop hadn't sent him any new photos in the past two days—it was very regular before.

Maybe it was suddenly busy.

After Xiao Wu and the others went to work, Qiao Nanqi took advantage of Zhao Rong's afternoon nap and went to the doctor to treat the wound with medicine.

In the afternoon, Xiao Wu brought the call records to Zhao Rong.

At this time, Qiao Nanqi was making tea for Zhao Rong, Xiao Wu handed the call record to Zhao Rong, and looked back at their husband's frowning brows and slightly sluggish movements - obviously in pain.

He hurried forward, "Sir, let me do it."

It's not a big deal, Qiao Nanqi didn't try to shirk it, he handed over the matter to Xiao Wu, and turned around and sat beside the hospital bed.

Zhao Rong already lowered her head, holding her mobile phone aside for inquiry, and began to slowly look up the long list.

When Xiao Wu came in front of the two with tea, one was sitting on the edge of the bed haggard but looking affectionately at the person on the bed, while the other lowered his head with a serious and serious expression on his face.

The mess outside is still being cleaned up in a hurry, but this square inch of land is full of peace.

for a long time.

Zhao Rong didn't say anything, just said a name.

"It's her!?" Xiao Wu was startled, "Is Miss Zhou so bold?"

Qiao Nanqi only said with a little sullenness: "It really is her." He obviously had guessed before.

"Maybe she doesn't have such courage," Zhao Rong sneered, "Even if Chen Jingnian becomes a dog in the water, he probably won't look down on a family from a small place like Zhuxi, and it's impossible for the Zhou family to look up to a family in a small place like Zhuxi." Wanted criminals who are shouting and beating, they are unlikely to cooperate."

"Didn't you say that the security guard was negligent? This matter does seem very logical. Chen Jingnian wanted to take revenge on me, but the security guard was negligent. This accident caused this accident. Even if the person died, Chen Jingnian, the person who did it himself, was the one to blame the most. The security guard was also a person." Dereliction of duty is not a crime of death - she cannot be pulled out. She is here, at best, instigating the security guards to 'negligence of duty'."

"It was my negligence. At the beginning, I only thought about dealing with the people she left behind in the hospital, and forgot the inconspicuous but important position of security."

"No, it was my negligence," Qiao Nanqi said, "After you took over, I personally checked the security system's procedures, but I didn't check the security guards a second time."

"Mr. Qiao," Zhao Rong couldn't laugh or cry, "I don't understand you, do you have to admit your mistake alone?"

Mr. Qiao immediately closed his mouth, narrowed his eyes and expression, and did not admit his mistake verbally, but put on a good attitude of admitting his mistake.

Xiao Wu: "..."

He really felt that the atmosphere was different from before.

"What does Mr. Zhao want to do?" Xiao Wu asked.

Zhao Rong pondered for a moment, and said, "She actually took advantage of the opportunity, but if she really did something, she didn't do anything. Since the security guard hasn't said anything until now, it must be that she took her for a long time." The good thing is that she doesn't know how to speak, even if she does, she may not be able to stumble. Forget it, this matter..."

"You can't be soft-hearted about this matter." Qiao Nanqi rarely used a tough tone in front of Zhao Rong. "For opponents like the Zhou family, the only way to permanently solve future troubles is to cut the grass and root out."

Zhao Rong blinked slowly, but did not speak.

Qiao Nanqi thought that Zhao Rong was unhappy, so he gritted his teeth, but still said, "I'll take care of the Zhou family, so just pretend you don't know. I can't let them go, so you just—"

"When did I say I was soft-hearted?" Zhao Rong interrupted him.

Qiao Nanqi was stunned: "...you decide."

Zhao Rong laughed.

During this period of time, Qiao Nanqi had always been cautious in front of him, and every moment made him feel that he saw a shadow of himself in this person.This well didn't make him happy, on the contrary, he couldn't help but sneer at him before, trying to force out this person's true temper.

But just now, Young Master Qiao finally couldn't help showing his wolf's tail, but he didn't feel angry at all, and even thought it was a little funny.

He wanted to tell Qiao Nanqi - this is you, what were you pretending before?

But he liked to see Qiao Nanqi trying to retract the "wolf's tail" just now, after thinking about it, he didn't mention it.

"I said forget it. Even if we directly request a thorough investigation of this matter, the security guard will not be able to explain it no matter whether he has received benefits or is afraid of threats from the Zhou family. The investigation will not find her."

"But since she was able to do this, it shows that Zhou's well is not clean—I don't believe that when a person with clean hands and feet encounters this kind of thing again, his first reaction is to hide it and not report it for profit."

He paused every word, his voice was still a little weak, but it was full of confidence.

There is no longer the cautiousness of the past, the uncertainty when he said his "simple thinking" after leaving Qiao Nanqi, and the indifference when he first came to Zhuxi.

Maybe it was Chen Jingnian's arrest that made him completely cut off the past, maybe...Qiao Nanqi taught him what it means to be sharp.

His dark eyes were slightly bright like the stars in the night, and even the hospital clothes could not hide his temperament as cold as jade but gentle as tough as bamboo.

"As long as the Zhou family's hands and feet are not clean, the Chen family is just a lesson for them. Zhou Yueqing must have done more serious things than ours."

"Xiao Wu, I might trouble you to go, or if you are busy, tell Brother Xu for me to go and find Zhou Yueqing face to face."

"Tell her that as long as she is willing to surrender, we will see the truth in other matters in the mall, and I will not interfere in other things. But if she is not willing, that's fine. We will fight to the end, whether it is the mall Whether it's the shady tricks she might have done before, I won't let go of any of them, she can try to see what the consequences will be in the end."

"Well... I've played tricks once. If she hadn't been intimidated by Young Master Qiao's reputation and chose the latter, I would do it myself, but it's just trouble..."

He paused, smiled slightly, his brows were slightly tender, and the sharp words that had just been cut back in an instant, "Please teach me, Young Master Qiao, how to deal with her."

Xiao Wu has been with Qiao Nanqi for so long and has seen many methods, but he is still shocked by Zhao Rong's decision without delay.

In his impression, this was the way Qiao Nanqi would choose.

But Zhao Rong, who always stays on the front line, said these words calmly. In the end, he didn't pretend to insist, but asked for help humbly.

——Is Mr. Zhao such a person?

He found that his previous impression of Zhao Rong was still too one-sided.

Qiao Nanqi was also slightly surprised.

After listening to Zhao Rong's words, he had a lot of thoughts in his heart, but in the end he slowly smiled.

He smiled, but his eyes were sad.

After Xiao Wu led the work out, and there were only the two of them left in the house, Qiao Nanqi watched for a while the sun slowly emerging from the distant sky hidden behind the dark clouds.

In the afternoon, the cloud began to dissipate. At this moment, the cloudy and sunny intertwined, and the distant sky scattered beams of dense light, which seemed to dispel the gloom.

He looked away, looked at Zhao Rong, and suddenly said, "Zhao Rong."

"Why are you calling me by my name again?"

"I..." He paused, only to realize that cruel or pleading words are actually easy to say, but if it is an unbiased statement, people don't know where to start.

Feeling Zhao Rong's probing gaze, he spoke in a hoarse voice after a while, "I know you don't want to hear an apology, but this apology is not because of the current accident."

His words were trembling slightly, but also a little hoarse.

But if you look at his expression, apart from being haggard, you can only see this person's guilty expression, and this person's eyes are still firm and deep.

"sorry."

He said.

"No matter what the reason-those are excuses, I have to admit that I used to have prejudice. My prejudice, this apology cannot be erased, and I will do my best to make up for it in the future."

"But I have to apologize, I owe you this."

Zhao Rong looked slightly startled.

He seemed to be aware of what Qiao Nanqi was going to say, his hands on the quilt slightly tightened, and he grabbed the corners of the quilt into a ball.His injured right hand was in pain from the sudden exertion, and he realized this, and let go of his hand suddenly.

Qiao Nanqi lowered his eyes and saw the movement in his hand, subconsciously raised his hand and wanted to grab Zhao Rong's hand.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand, the burn hidden under his sleeve was affected, he frowned slightly, and retracted his movement without a trace.

He took a deep breath, and said the words that he owed Zhao Rong for many, many years in a precious and precious way.

"You have always been excellent."

It was he who was stuck in his past, went all the way to reach the destination, but forgot that there was another person in front of him.

Relying on Zhao Rong's liking, he was so self-righteous, so arrogant that he didn't want to stop, even if he wanted to get to know the people around him a little bit.

It's because he doesn't recognize affection, never responds, doesn't show respect, and fails to make himself worthy and worthy of Zhao Rong's liking.

He is the one who is truly golden on the outside, but corrupt on the inside.
