Clear stream

Xi Qingxi didn't know Fang Ruogu's itinerary, after waking up, after thinking for a few seconds, he picked up his mobile phone from the bedside and called Yang Qiushi to ask for leave for him.

"Are you awake? There's an ad shoot at two o'clock in the afternoon, and I can make an appearance at the charity gala tonight..."

"It's all pushed, he needs to rest."

There was a full 2 ​​minutes of silence before speaking, and the speed of speech slowed down a lot: "Mr. Xi...?"

Xi Qingxi said straightforwardly: "It's me." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Fang Ruogu who was sleeping soundly, "Don't let him do meaningless activities."

Yang Qiushi swallowed his saliva, and smiled dryly: "It's Ruogu who insists on going to the audition, so I don't have much to say."

"Beating a dog also depends on the owner. If any kitten or dog can bully him, wouldn't it be embarrassing for me?"

After hanging up the phone, Xi Qingxi shook Fang Ruogu awake and said, "Get up, take the medicine and go to sleep."

Fang Ruogu groaned, turned over, accidentally touched the wound, and grinned instantly from the pain.

"Hiss..." He took a breath and recovered a little, "I slept all day? What time is it?"

"It's lunch time now, we just finished exercising, and you slept for two hours." Xi Qingxi looked indifferent, but his tone was slightly mocking.

Fang Ruogu endured the pain, pulled off the blanket and got out of bed, and said to himself, "I still have work in the afternoon."

Xi Qingxi turned a deaf ear, he pushed Fang Ruogu back, then took out a few ointments from the bedside table, unscrewed the lid and applied the medicine to him.

The cool touch made Fang Ruogu shrink back suddenly, his face flushed red: "I will do it myself."

"Are you sure you can paint it by yourself?" Xi Qingxi pressed down Ruogu's hand that was about to move, and said with a straight face, "Don't move."

Fang Ruogu had a showdown: "I'm afraid of that, that's what you understand, right?"

Xi Qingxi: "..."

The atmosphere fell into a stalemate, the two decided to take a step back, Xi Qingxi tried not to paint it inside, Fang Ruogu also tried his best to restrain his instincts, and finally completed the aftermath work.

"I asked you to take a leave of absence, take a good rest."

"No need." Fang Ruogu made a gesture to get out of bed again, "This endorsement is very important, I don't want to miss it."

Xi Qingxi didn't stop him anymore, and watched him change his clothes in a strange posture without saying a word, and called Yang Qiushi.

"Hey Sister Yang, I should have time to go to the company now, right? It's really fine, and it will never affect the shooting. Then I'll go there right away. By the way, let Xiao Wang order a takeaway for me. I haven't eaten yet."

When Fang Ruogu walked to the door, he remembered something again, came back slowly, and leaned over to kiss the scar on Xi Qingxi's forehead.

Then he hugged Xi Qingxi into his arms, resting his chin on his hair, his movements were light and gentle, as if in front of him was a fragile object that he regarded as a treasure.

"I am willing to witness all your glamor and beauty, and I am willing to endure all your embarrassment, and I will never leave no matter what..."

"Unless I die."

Xi Qingxi raised his head suddenly, and bumped into a pair of cold and gloomy eyes. The desperate paranoia was like the dark deep sea, and the vague sense of oppression shook his brain.

……

This is a rare and leisurely afternoon, the breeze outside the window brings summer heat, the rustling leaves are accompanied by intermittent high-pitched cicadas, and the rhythm of the world seems to become slow and steady.

Xi Qingxi sat in front of the computer, opened several webpages, but the mouse did not move at all, his mind was not here at all.

He was indeed moved for a moment, but it was only moved.But under the influence of the Xi family's environment, it is impossible for him to trust someone easily.

Besides, Fang Ruogu's reaction was too abnormal. Is what he said before leaving was his own idea or was it influenced by his sub-personality?Xi Qingxi couldn't tell the difference.

The only thing he can be sure of is that the so-called gentle and harmless master personality does not seem to be as pure as he imagined.

Xi Qingxi pinched the center of her eyebrows, discarded the messy thoughts in her mind, lowered her head and continued to deal with the company's affairs, the first thing that caught her eye was the financial approval of the experience center project.

The secret room project is progressing smoothly, and the income is quite considerable, so Xi Mu plans to expand the scale, strike while the iron is hot, and build several branches across the country for unified management.

Logically speaking, Xi Qingxi had to ask Xi Qin's opinion for signing, but he had only met her not long ago, and he never wanted to see her again in such a short time unless he had to.So Xi Qingxi didn't deal with Xi Qin, and signed directly.

Sitting in the office, Xi Mu repeatedly admired this big project brought up by him, and played the report form with complacency.He has nothing to do when he is idle, and sometimes uses a feather duster to pat the dust on the bookcase, and sometimes picks up a small watering can to water the green plants on the desk.Then he remembered something, and with a smile on his face, he took out his cell phone and dialed an overseas call.

"Yaoyao, how are you doing recently? Are you going to spend winter over there? Remember to add clothes."

"It's neither cold nor cold. It's only over ten degrees, which is warmer than the domestic winter. I will take care of myself. Don't worry, Dad."

Xi Yao is Xi Mu's only son, who is the same age as Xi Qingxi but has the same fate.He stays abroad all year round to help Dongyu connect with international resources. To put it nicely, he is studying, but in fact he is exiled.Since graduating from university, he has returned to China very few times. It's not that he doesn't want to go back, but he can't.

"When will you go home and have a look? Your mother is always talking about you at home." Xi Qinqi Ai Ai asked, the gaps at the end of her eyes were full of thoughts, "A few days ago she took a fancy to a watch and said it was suitable for you, but she thought of you again Not at home, she bought it and secretly sat by the bed wiping tears."

Xi Yao smiled helplessly: "Dad, you know, grandpa and aunt don't really want me to go back, and I can't help it..."

"Ridiculous!" Xi Mu was furious, his voice couldn't help but rise, and the veins in his temples were bulging, "Why don't they let you come back? Why can their family be reunited happily, and I haven't seen each other for a year my son!"

"Dad, calm down, don't get so angry. We are all for the Xi family. At worst, I will make more video calls for you. I should go to work, and we will talk when I have time."

Xi Mu clutched his chest and panted heavily, still not recovering from his anger.He remembered that Xi Qin had dominated him everywhere since he was a child, and that Mr. Xi also favored her. He would pick out all the delicious and fun things for Xi Qin first, and only after picking out the rest would he have his share.

It's the same now, the EAST Group is handed over to Xi Qin, and Xi Mu is only assigned to their mother and son to do whatever they want.After so many years, Xi Mu thought hard and couldn't figure out why Xi Qin was favored by the old man.

"President Xi, there is a meeting in 10 minutes..."

"Get out!" Xi Mu casually grabbed the potted plant that had just been watered and threw it towards the door. The wet soil bloomed on the clean ground, like a pool of horrible blood.

The secretary was speechless in fright, and hastily closed the door and exited.

Xi Mu sat on the office chair, closed his eyes and slowly calmed down.After a while, he dialed a number again.

"I will attend Pei's reception on time."
