Clear stream

The two stared at each other quietly for a long time, and there was only the sound of the heating in the office for a while.Xi Qingxi silently took a sip of coffee and broke the silence: "There is no rule that an apology must be accepted."

The light in Fang Ruogu's eyes could be seen to be extinguished by the naked eye. He did not give up and said: "But you always give me a chance to reform. People's criminals still have life reprieve, so you can't just give me the death penalty, right?"

"Can you guarantee that you won't hurt anyone around you when you get out of control?" Xi Qingxi put the ceramic cup heavily on the table, with a cold tone, "Even if you can't control yourself, you deserve to negotiate terms with me?"

Fang Ruogu opened his mouth and wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Xi Qingxi: "I don't know if it's you or him, anyway, I don't accept insincere apologies."

Fang Ruogu hesitated for a few seconds, but in the end he didn't dare to make Xi Qingxi angry anymore, he turned around and left the office in three steps.

Xi Qingxi closed his eyes and leaned back for a moment, then bent down to take the medicine box from the drawer and poured out a bunch of colorful pills, swallowing them all.

After checking the time, he closed the file in his hand and got off work on time.

While waiting for the traffic light at the intersection, Fang Ruogu's perfume advertisement was played on the huge LED display in the opposite shopping center.

He has recently received a lot of business endorsements, and he has been spinning around all day long. The few times he came to the door, he simply chatted and rushed to the next announcement.

What Xingcan Entertainment created for Fang Ruogu is a light luxury style, taking a niche and high-end route.The general niche fans are extremely sticky and not easy to climb the wall.In places like the entertainment industry, where the speed of renewal is too fast, all kinds of high-quality idol actors emerge in endlessly. Only by firmly grasping the fan base can we gain a foothold here.

When the green light came on, Xi Qingxi looked back and followed the crowd across the zebra crossing.

Within a few minutes of returning to the apartment, Xi Qingxi received a second email from the private detective.It contained several photos and a piece of audio. The people in the photos were Qu Zhiyi and Shao Cheng, and the location seemed to be downstairs in a community.

He suppressed the indifference between his brows, and turned on the audio player with a focused expression.

……

"Why didn't you tell me that you went to the hospital today? If you did, I wouldn't let you go alone. "

"I'm fine, how are things going with you?" Although Qu Zhiyi was weak, she was surprisingly strong.He never troubles others with things he can handle by himself, and always reports good news but not bad news to his family.

Shao Cheng was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and said, "It still doesn't work, the business has been unable to get up." He squeezed Qu Zhiyi's palm, with a guilty expression on his face, "I'm sorry, I didn't take you into consideration."

Qu Zhiyi smiled: "There is no other way, I can understand."

Shao Cheng rubbed her hair and sighed softly: "Let's go upstairs, you just finished the operation, and later stew a chicken to nourish your body."

"Okay." Qu Zhiyi grabbed Shao Cheng's wrist, and the two went upstairs together.

The house they rented was not big, but Qu Zhiyi decorated it very warmly, like a real home.The room has a good orientation, it is cool and comfortable in summer, and warm in the sun in winter.When she was free, Qu Zhiyi sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV with her pillow on Shao Cheng's arms.

Qu Zhiyi stood at the door with a dazed expression, she didn't know which step was wrong, it was obviously not like this at the beginning.

"What are you thinking about?" Shao Cheng stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "Go to the bedroom and sleep for a while, and I'll call you after I finish dinner."

Qu Zhiyi nodded obediently, turned and went into the bedroom to sleep.

Shao Cheng put all his energy into this meal, and the three dishes and one soup were mixed in strict accordance with the nutrition table, and the smell of chicken soup gradually wafted from the kitchen.

He put the dishes on the table, set the bowls and chopsticks, admired them with his hips on his hips, clapped his hands and prepared to call Qu Zhiyi to eat.

Qu Zhiyi slept very lightly, and woke up as soon as she smelled the smell of food. She got out of bed and opened the door in a daze, and bumped into Shao Cheng.

"Be careful." Shao Cheng hugged her tightly in time and reminded softly, "Don't fall."

Then he naturally took Qu Zhiyi's hand and came to the dining table, helped her open the chair, and poured a glass of warm water.

"Drink some chicken soup to warm up your body first, and see how pale your face is." Shao Cheng picked up a spoon and served her the soup. The yellowish chicken soup was floating with tender green green onions, which was mouth-watering.He specially picked out a large piece of chicken gizzard and a chicken leg, filling Qu Zhiyi's rice bowl to the brim.

"Enough is enough, I can't eat that much, it's too oily." Qu Zhiyi pressed down his hand reproachfully, grabbed the rice bowl and shook his fist at him, "You're trying to fatten me up."

Shao Cheng chuckled: "It's better to be fatter. After you get fat, no one will like you. All you need is my liking."

Qu Zhiyi ate this meal very lightly, and the haze that had shrouded her head in recent days dissipated.She thought to herself, as expected, she should trust her lover.Only she knows Shao Cheng's goodness, so others will judge him. He has many small problems, but at least he treats his feelings sincerely.

After dinner, Shao Cheng pushed her to sit on the sofa, while he put on an apron to clean up the leftovers.After finishing everything, he walked to Qu Zhiyi's side and lay down on Qu Zhiyi's lap, staring at her with piercing eyes.

"Zhiyi, I like you."

"No matter what others think of me, I really like you. Maybe sometimes being too impatient will make you angry, but that's not my intention."

"I want to go on well with you."

Shao Cheng took Qu Zhiyi's hand reverently, and pressed a light kiss on his lips.

All of Qu Zhiyi's heartache turned into tender nostalgia, leaving only joy in her heart.

At this time, the phone rang untimely, and he immediately sat up straight and made a booing gesture: "My mother."

Shao Cheng put on his slippers and connected the phone: "Hello? Hello?" Shao Cheng poked the screen suspiciously, ran to the balcony to look for a signal, "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

Qu Zhiyi silently turned on the TV, and the TV was showing a dog-blooded campus love story, the plot didn't get into her head, she yawned and dozed off after 10 minutes.

Before Shao Cheng finished the phone call, Qu Zhiyi pressed his chin to switch channels.She switched to several channels and couldn't find any satisfactory programs, so she simply checked Weibo.

Fang Ruogu is the one who launched Weibo today, and Qu Zhiyi had a relationship with him once in the company.She doesn't like chasing stars, and occasionally eats melons, Fang Ruogu's melons are so coincidental, Qu Zhiyi never misses any of them.So it was the first time Fang Ruogu came to the company to find Xi Qingxi, and she was the one who helped out and asked the front desk to let him go upstairs.

Qu Zhiyi always thinks that their way of getting along is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and she is aware of her boss's temperament, and she would not let Fang Ruogu be wronged, but he is pulled out for a walk by the marketing account from time to time.

She shook her head to shake off these miscellaneous thoughts. After all, she was just a lowly social animal, and she had no right to talk about the boss's interpersonal relationship.

Shao Cheng's call finally ended, he turned and walked towards the living room, his face was a little more serious than before.

"My mother fell down the stairs a few days ago and hit her forehead and was admitted to the ICU. My uncle didn't want to tell me at first, because he was worried that it would affect my work. Now my mother's condition is deteriorating, and follow-up treatment needs to pay sky-high fees."

He was silent for three seconds, staring at the sluggish Qu Zhiyi and said word by word: "Zhiyi, I don't want to drag you down, let's break up."
