Lost [Transmigration Book]

Qiao Nanqi's words hit Zhao Rong's eardrums little by little. He suddenly opened his mouth for a moment, but he didn't know what he wanted to say.

It seemed that someone was busy going back and forth outside, the sound of footsteps coming and going, going and coming again, as if gliding by the sound of heartbeat.

"I like you, but I said that," Qiao Nanqi added, "not because I like you."

Nothing to do with love.

Even if they just met by chance, or at this moment, without the relationship they once had, it is still an apology and acknowledgment that Qiao Nanqi must say.

Zhao Rong understood the meaning of this.

He suddenly sighed, but also relieved.

And not just because of Jonan Qi.

Or because of Zhao Ming, Fang Zhuoqun, Liu Shun, Xiao Wu, Liang Youjun...

Even the Chen family who wanted to harm him.

He lowered his head, then raised it slowly again.He was clearly lying on the hospital bed, his complexion was slightly pale, and his words were obviously full of sickness, but the words he said were full of strength.

"okay, I get it."

Qiao Nanqi seemed to be waiting for his accumulated emotions to erupt, but he only heard his simple verdict.

"You can scold me."

"Why should I scold you?"

"I used to always say that you were a loser, but in fact I was—"

"Neither of us." Zhao Rong frowned slightly, and his expression returned to the usual gentleness, "If you are still stuck in the past, I might ask you sarcastically when I hear this sentence. If From a friend's perspective, I might say thank you to you."

but if……

There was obviously more to his words, but Qiao Nanqi was waiting, but he stopped, glanced at Qiao Nanqi, and said an irrelevant topic: "Why are you wearing a black shirt today?"

Zhao Rong didn't want to let go of his mouth like this, revealing that he was really a hard-hearted person, so when he mentioned this, his original intention was to change the subject at will.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nanqi's expression panicked for a moment.

Isn't it just a question of what to wear?

What's there to panic about?

Zhao Rong's confusion flashed for a moment, and when he wanted to ask, Qiao Nanqi hadn't answered before the dinner was delivered.

Both of them were distracted. Qiao Nanqi opened the door and took out the food box, and said to him, "I bought it for the past two days. If you don't like it, tell me immediately."

Zhao Rong muttered, "...how can I be so picky."

For the past few days, Zhao Rong has been recuperating in the ward.

If his skin trauma was handled properly, he could actually go home to recuperate, but both Qiao Nanqi and Xu Xin Liang Youjun were worried about him and insisted on keeping him in the hospital.Zhao Rong had no choice but to lie down in the ward out of place when everyone was so busy.

Zhao Rong naturally didn't want to be idle.

While waiting for Zhou Yueqing's reply, although he was in the ward, he kept in touch with his subordinates all the time.Verbal threats alone are not enough to scare people like Zhou Yueqing.

He needs a little substantive statement.

He found a breakthrough and wanted to find out the Zhou family's small moves in some projects.

He didn't refuse Qiao Nanqi's help as before, he asked Qiao Nanqi for advice from time to time, and he made the main judgment himself, but within a few days, he really found out a problem.

Sure enough, with Zhou's situation like this, it is impossible for other places to be clean.

He asked Xu Xin to tell Zhou Yueqing the reason he had found out, and the next day, he received Zhou Yueqing's reply.

——Zhou Yueqing chose the first path, turning himself in to explain the matter of security. As for the competition between the Zhou family and Zhao Rong, each has his own strength to decide.

In this way, this matter is understood.

And the doctor Qiao Nanqi invited back also began to understand and work on Zhao Ming's treatment plan, the hospital gradually began to resume operation, and the cooperation projects between Zhao Rong and Ruan Cheng were also carried out step by step without being affected.

It was as if everything was in order and the dust had settled.

only...

Only about Zhao Rong and Qiao Nanqi.

Qiao Nanqi has been taking care of him.Obviously, a nurse could be hired, or Liang Youjun could be guarded, but this person wanted to do it himself, and directly regarded Zhao Rong's ward as a temporary residence.

In addition, this person was still busy with work. After Zhou Yueqing responded, Qiao Nanqi was called out by Xiao Wu to deal with company affairs.

Thinking about this person's unattractive expression recently, Zhao Rong had mixed feelings.

When Sister Li came in to bring food to Zhao Rong, he was looking at the white clouds outside the window, his eyes were aimless, and he was thinking about the things of this period of time in his mind.

"...Xiao Zhao?" Sister Li called out to him, "I put it on the table for you."

Zhao Rong came back to her senses: "Thank you, sister. I heard from Youjun in the morning that you stayed here directly at the hospital. I really trouble you. You have to move here to take care of me after cooking for me for so long."

Sister Li had no worries about getting along with Zhao Rong. She smiled and said casually, "How long has it been? I haven't cooked for you for more than half a year. If Mr. Qiao hadn't called me here two days ago, I wouldn't have I know you've changed places to live."

Zhao Rong was taken aback.

He was a little confused by Sister Li's reaction, and his mind went blank for a moment.

"...Two days ago?"

Sister Li didn't find anything wrong at all, set the meal for him, patted his forehead, and said, "I have a good memory. Xiao Zhao, Xiao Wu gave me a gift yesterday. You are too kind. I just came here too." Two days, besides, I also took money from Mr. Qiao, so why give me a gift? I will take it and return it to you tomorrow."

"No..." Zhao Rong slowly realized something was wrong, without showing any emotion on his face, he still smiled and said, "Sister, you can just keep it, if you don't, I don't have the nerve to eat it. I'm afraid you won't like it, Thinking about buying you some more presents."

Sister Li had no choice but to give up.

Zhao Rong's heart was turned upside down.

During the meal, Zhao Rong was in a mess of thoughts, thinking that after he was injured, it was Qiao Nanqi who took care of these things, so that even if the food was delivered, it was Qiao Nanqi who put it in front of him.

Only today, Qiao Nanqi had to leave because he had something to do, and he only knew about it when Sister Li brought food.

Sister Li came to Zhuxi after he was injured, but the breakfast he had before was indeed Sister Li's style, which was different from what he ate here in Zhuxi, and some even Sister Li had deliberately What is done for him may not be done by others.

Zhao Rong only felt his heart beating, it seemed to be beating faster in an obscure way.

He always felt that such speculation was too unreal.

Even if he was with Qiao Nanqi for more than a year, he only cooked a simple breakfast occasionally, and most of the other things were handled by babysitting and housekeeping.

Not to mention Qiao Nanqi.

People like Qiao Nanqi...

He closed his eyes, lowered his head, took a sip of soup in a panic to hide his expression, and said in a low voice, "I want to eat red date cake. I ate it once last week, and now I miss you making it."

Sister Li replied without thinking: "Then I'll make it for you tomorrow! Mr. Qiao made what you ate before, right? He, he is really quick to learn. He can do it a few times, and he's better than me."

original……

original.

He suddenly felt that the heart that had just been suspended was slowly falling to the ground, but for some reason, it was stained with sourness.

He still remembered that the first time Xiao Wu brought him breakfast, he even used Liang Youjun as an excuse in order to make Qiao Nanqi give up.

But Qiao Nanqi still insisted on sending a new one.

If Qiao Nanqi made that meal by himself...

What kind of mood did this person have at the beginning, let go of his dignity, broke his pride, and silently made a new copy and sent it to him like rolling in the dust?

When he met Qiao Nanqi when he was young, what he loved the most was that he had the vigor and gentleness of a young man, but he still hid his pride.The bones in that whole body seemed to be unbending for anything, but it also became Qiao Nanqi's arrogance to him after they were together, which eventually made him love and hate him at the same time.

Now, he just discovered that this person had bent his pride for him after he had chased him to Zhuxi.

Zhao Rong's eyes flashed blankly, and he let go of his left hand holding the soup spoon, and with a "plop", the spoon fell into the soup, splashing a small splash.

The soup splashed on the partition set up on the hospital bed, and Sister Li said "ah", "Why are you so careless? Let me wipe it for you."

"...Sorry," Zhao Rong said hastily, "I was distracted."

"it's okay no problem."

Are you okay?

But his heart was already in a mess, as if he couldn't find the end of a ball of wool, and when he pulled it, he knotted knots one after another, and he couldn't loosen it at all.

There are so many things in this world that are constantly being cut and messed up, why do they all seem to fall on his head?

outside the ward.

Lu Xingping walked to the door, holding a large stack of documents in one hand, and holding the mobile phone to his ear in the other, and said to Qiao Nanqi on the other end of the phone: "I still have to check with Zhao Rong about the matters of these hospitals. What are the people doing? To eat."

"..."

"Don't worry, I'll tell him that you called me to help him take care of the hospital."

"..."

"Treat your injury. Nanqi, I heard the doctor next to you call you four times."

"..."

At this time, the door of the ward opened, and Sister Li came out with leftovers.

After closing the door, seeing Lu Xingping leaning against the wall on the phone, Sister Li didn't make a sound, she waved to him with a smile and left.

On the other end of the phone, Qiao Nanqi had finished his instructions.

But Lu Xingping yawned - he obviously went in one ear and out the other.

He just heard Qiao Nanqi stop talking, the corners of his mouth curled up, he glanced at the door of Zhao Rong's ward, and suddenly said: "I want Zhao Rong to decide on some expenses after the hospital fire. Although there are no medical equipment on the top floor, A lot of materials have been burned, and the hidden loss is not low, it all depends on whether Zhao Rong is willing to spend more money to save trouble."

"You said that," Qiao Nanqi said.

"Well, what he asked me, I'll tell the truth, okay?"

Lu Xingping's last sentence was afraid that Zhao Rong would think the cost was too much, and his next sentence was to ask if he could tell the truth. Most people would naturally think that he was talking about one thing.

Qiao Nanqi was having a severe attack where he was hit by the fallen equipment when he rescued Zhao Ming earlier. At this time, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his thinking was not as detailed as before, so he just replied: "Okay, you let Zhao Rong decide. .”

Lu Xingping hung up the phone with a smile.

He took the documents and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Zhao Rong subconsciously shouted in the room.

His mind is in a mess now, and he feels his heartbeat is fast and slow, as if he lacks oxygen. He wants to think, but he can't think.

If it weren't for the fact that the injury is not fully recovered at this moment, Zhao Rong would like to get up now and find a place with strong wind to blow his mind.

After the person came in, he turned his head and said in surprise, "Senior!?"

Lu Xingping moved a chair, sat down beside the hospital bed, and said calmly, "I'm full of energy, and I'm recovering well."

Zhao Rong: "..."

He was stunned for a long time, looked at Lu Xingping, and said, "Why do you...?"

"I heard that something happened to you. I came here two days ago. Nanqi and Yuantu are not as experienced as I am in the hospital. I have taken care of your hospital's affairs for you. You can read the information and agree to it." It can be carried out according to the above plan.”

Zhao Rong had just recovered from Lu Xingping's sudden appearance, and subconsciously said, "Thank you senior. I'll finish this in a while, you..."

"I didn't expect to trouble you. Qiao Nanqi told you? You..."

Speaking of this, he felt a little complicated, even a little embarrassed.

His words froze, his fingers carelessly rubbed the information, his eyes wavered, and he calmed down after a while and said, "It seems that you know what happened after I came to Zhuxi."

This naturally refers to the matter between him and Qiao Nanqi.

Zhao Rong felt that he was really worthless.

In order to make Qiao Nanqi give up, he did not tell Qiao Nanqi the truth about the engagement.Although Qiao Nanqi found out by himself later, during the wedding, Lu Xingping still managed a lot of pressure for him.

"You seem to have a lot to say." Lu Xingping broke his mind directly.

Zhao Rong hadn't communicated directly with people like this for a long time, and suddenly he was a little stunned.He said slowly: "I have a lot of thoughts, but what I say seems to be nothing. I'm just... a little embarrassed."

Lu Xingping raised his eyebrows.

"I asked my senior to help me so much in order to start over. When I left Yangcheng, the senior told me that if I really waver, I might as well try new people and new things." Zhao Rong sighed , "I really tried. But I..."

Lu Xingping said simply and appalled: "Failed?"

"Yes, I find that other people don't post at all to impress me."

Lu Xingping immediately figured out the key point: "You said, 'other people'."

Zhao Rong's heart tightened.

He didn't speak, but clenched his hands, feeling that lying down like this seemed a little easy to appear fragile, he tried to sit up, but Lu Xingping didn't stop him, but helped him lift the front half of the hospital bed, and put a pillow for him .

Sitting up straight, Zhao Rong finally had the confidence to admit it.

"Yes, 'others' can't."

But Qiao Nanqi can.

Lu Xingping asked him back, "And then? Didn't you start over?"

Zhao Rong was taken aback.

Lu Xingping asked him again: "Have you not freed yourself from the constraints of the past?"

"……Have."

"Haven't you let go of your previous regrets?"

"...I let it go."

"Then you haven't succeeded in displaying your ambitions and flexing your muscles?"

"No... I succeeded, even better than I expected."

"Then I don't get it, why are you acting like you haven't been able to start over?"

This question stopped Zhao Rong.

"I don't know," he finally gave up his rationality, "Senior, I'm... very messy right now, very messy."

"No matter how messy things are, there is a reason. Where is the root of your heart disease?" Lu Xingping was very calm. He also took out his mobile phone, played Lianliankan, and said while tapping the screen, "I know you may not Will tell people about this, because not many people know all the inside information. I just happen to know, can listen, and even..."

Lu Xingping frowned - Lianliankan lost.

He said again, "I can even tell you something, if you want to ask. Oh yes, don't worry, after Nan Qi agreed."

On the other floor of the hospital, Mr. Qiao, who was dealing with the bruised waist, didn't know that Lu Xingping's simple affirmation was taken as an arrow by Lu Xingping.

Although Zhao Rong didn't quite understand the meaning of Lu Xingping's last sentence, he held back for a few days and finally found an outlet to vent his anger. He still couldn't hold back, and said, "Actually, it's been so long, what he said, what he did I have more or less heard and seen everything.”

"Senior, you talk about the root cause. The root cause actually exists, and I'm not clear about it."

"It's just that every time I almost look back, or when I almost soften my heart, I always think——Why?"

Why is it that Qiao Nanqi was the one who showed no love for him at the beginning, and it was also Qiao Nanqi who revealed his deep love in every word and deed in the end?

Why can a reason like "I didn't find a liking" explain the past miss?

"I can't help but think," he finally said, "that no normal person can be so indifferent to someone he likes. I always feel that I was wishful thinking and didn't know what to do, but if he is really as he said, So what is the year we have been together?"

"Every time I think about this, I can't help but think that he doesn't like me as much as he said now. After all, he still misses my kindness to him."

Lu Xingping nodded: "It makes sense, you are right."

Zhao Rong was startled.

When he saw Lu Xingping appearing in Zhuxi, he took the initiative to introduce topics related to Qiao Nanqi, and he would probably say something that seemed out of place.

But in fact, he has already been ruthless in all these incidents. Qiao Nanqi's deeds even gave him courage again. What he lacks is to let go of this paranoid decision.

So even if he knew that Lu Xingping might persuade him, he would let it go, and even expected that Lu Xingping would tell him: Forget it, don't be stubborn.

That way he can talk himself out of it.

But this answer...

"Senior, didn't you come to persuade me? I thought you wanted to enlighten me. "

"Why should I persuade you? If I wanted to persuade you, I would have refused directly before fulfilling the marriage contract—isn't it easier than traveling thousands of miles to Zhuxi?"

"then you……"

"But I can answer your questions if you want to. What were you asking?"

Zhao Rong was a little dizzy, "I just said that Qiao Nanqi..."

"Remember, why did you say that Nan Qi told you that he liked you a long time ago after you left?"

Zhao Rong nodded slowly.

If he really leaves and doesn't look back, even if he won't be able to impress anyone in the future, he will be completely alone. This may just be a waste of time in his past memories.

But if he opens his heart...

This has become his biggest heart disease at the moment.

"Actually, there may be no answer to this question, maybe he is really such a person," Zhao Rong said before Lu Xingping could speak, "I couldn't hold back, talking to seniors so much, in fact, I was worthless, and my heart softened , I need an excuse to make do with it."

Lu Xingping laughed.

"You and Nan Qi are really similar."

Zhao Rong's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he opened his mouth to say something, but the words were on his lips, but he didn't know what he wanted to say.

"...how does it look like?" He just asked.

"You all have some things that you have to stick to. But in fact, you are not so stubborn, so you can see some different aspects."

"If you don't ask, I'm not here to persuade you. If you want to persuade me, I have already persuaded you. But if you ask me, I told you on the wedding day to help people to the end."

Only now did Zhao Rong vaguely hear that Lu Xingping seemed to know something that he didn't.

"I ask," he didn't hesitate at all, "I want an answer."
