A few walls away, Zhao Siqi didn't know how huge emotional ups and downs Gao Chi experienced in one night.

The next morning, he sent a message to Gao Chi as usual, asking if he would like to have breakfast together.

In the kitchen, the coffee machine is working.Not long after, a strong and mellow aroma wafted out, and the air was filled with the smell of coffee.

Gao Chi replied: [No, I have already arrived at the company. 】

Zhao Siqi was holding a coffee cup, and added a spoonful of sugar and half a cup of milk into it.He felt a little strange, and asked Gao Chi: [You went out so early today? 】

Gao Chi: [The weekly routine meeting, you can't be late. 】

After typing this sentence, Gao Chi kept staring at the screen, and did not log out of WeChat immediately.

After waiting for a while, before Zhao Siqi could reply, he pursed his lips, tensed his jaw, and put the phone on his lap expressionlessly.

Now that the meeting is halfway through, other colleagues are seriously reporting their work and recording key content.Gao Chi propped his head up and stared intently at the projection screen not far away, but his mind was not on it at all.

After being single for so many years, it was the first time he felt the feeling of being tied to his heart.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated.

Gao Chi immediately lowered his head, unlocked the screen, and saw Zhao Siqi replying with a cheering emoji.

It is the most commonly used white cat, with crescent-shaped eyes and a wide smile, while Catpaw is holding a small horn and shouting "Come on".

Gao Chi raised the corners of his lips in satisfaction, and stuffed the phone back into his trouser pocket.

After get off work in the afternoon, Gao Chi went to the supermarket near the office to buy vegetables as usual.

Pushing the shopping cart and walking in the fresh food area, Gao Chi carefully selected a few dishes, which were Zhao Siqi's favorite dishes he had observed during this period of time.

After shopping for vegetables, he turned around to the meat section and bought two large steaks.

During dinner at night, Gao Chi has been paying attention to Zhao Siqi's words and deeds.

Zhao Siqi didn't know that Gao Chi was watching him, and his reaction to Gao Chi's words and actions was the same as before, only among friends, and he didn't reveal what a crush should look like, and he was completely different from the night when he was drunk .

Gao Chi put down his chopsticks, pointed at Zhao Siqi's empty soup bowl, and asked, "Are you still drinking?"

Zhao Siqi raised her head: "Huh?"

Gao Chi raised his chin: "I'll serve you another bowl of soup."

Zhao Siqi handed the bowl to Gao Chi, but the rice in his mouth was not swallowed, so he said "thank you" vaguely.

On the first night, Gao Chi helped him serve soup.

The next night, Gao Chi helped him pick up vegetables.

On the third night, Gao Chi helped him wash the dishes.

Zhao Siqi had no work to do, so she had to sit in the living room and watch TV.

The TV switched from the news screen to the advertisement, and the volume suddenly increased, which shocked Zhao Siqi.

He picked up the remote control on the coffee table, turned down the volume, and looked uncontrollably towards the kitchen.

The people in the kitchen were whistling while washing the dishes, and they were playing an unknown song. The singing sound was transmitted from the kitchen to the living room and fell into Zhao Siqi's ears, making him smile unconsciously.

When she was alone at home, Zhao Siqi always used to turn the volume of the TV to the maximum, intentionally making loud noises, but now it seems that she doesn't need it.

Just thinking that this scene will not stay in front of me forever, Gao Chi will leave sooner or later, start his own family, and become the one who washes dishes for his future wife.

The corners of Zhao Siqi's mouth drooped little by little, forming a straight line, unable to smile anymore.

--------

After washing the dishes, Gao Chi went back to his home and changed into a set of sports clothes, planning to go to the gym to exercise for an hour.

As soon as he arrived at the parking lot, he received a call from Zhao Siqi.

"Gao Chi, can you do me a favor?" Zhao Siqi spoke urgently and quickly.

Gao Chi paused: "What's the matter?"

"Little cat, the kitten in our community is injured." Zhao Siqi's voice trembled a little, he took a breath, and continued, "Can you drive me to the nearest pet hospital?"

Gao Chi threw his sports bag into the back seat and said, "Okay, I'm in the parking lot now, you go downstairs quickly, I'll wait for you at the exit."

Zhao Siqi trotted all the way here, his forehead hair was soaked with sweat, and the black hair was tightly stuck to his forehead.There was obvious flushing on the cheeks, the tip of the nose was also red, and the white air was still exhaled from the mouth, one after another, and soon disappeared into the air.

He was holding a dirty stray cat in his arms. There were many bloody wounds on his face and abdomen, and the cat's hair had lost a lot.He ran to Gao Chi's car and stood still, wiped off the sweat on his face, and opened the door of the passenger seat.

The door opened, and the dying kitten opened its eyes and let out a weak cry.

Gao Chi looked sideways at Zhao Siqi and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It fought with a few stray dogs and shed a lot of blood." Before Zhao Siqi could fully calm down, he sat in the co-pilot's seat, fastened his seat belt, and said to Gao Chi, "But don't worry, I've stopped it." It won't get your car dirty."

Gao Chi frowned, especially when he saw Zhao Siqi suddenly unbuckled his seat belt and wanted to get out of the car, his brows furrowed even deeper.He grabbed Zhao Siqi's wrist and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Siqi turned her head, covered the kitten's face with her coat, and said, "I'll sit in the back, far away from you."

"Okay, don't worry about it, hurry up and go to the hospital." Gao Chi locked the car door, stepped on the gas pedal, and without giving Zhao Siqi time to react, the car drove on the road sensitively and quickly.

When they arrived at the pet hospital, Zhao Siqi went in with the kitten to negotiate with the doctor, while Gao Chi sat on the bench outside the door and waited.

The door was not closed, and Gao Chi could see Zhao Siqi listening to the doctor's speech, nodding occasionally, with a focused and serious expression.When it comes to key information, he will bow his head and type, and write down the key points in the mobile phone memo.

Half an hour later, Zhao Siqi came out from the inside and showed a grateful smile to Gao Chi: "Thank you Gao Chi, thanks to you tonight. The doctor said that fortunately we delivered it in time, otherwise the kitten might not be saved .”

Zhao Siqi smiled brightly, and the exposed teeth looked beautiful under the light of the incandescent lamp.Because the kitten was fine, he was smiling from the bottom of his heart, the corners of his mouth were curved upwards, and the lip line of his upper lip formed a beautiful bow.

It was only then that Gao Chi discovered that there was a bead in the center of his lips, which was small and round, and could not be seen without smiling, but now that he smiled, it looked very vivid and three-dimensional.

Gao Chi threw his coat over his shoulders and stared at him with burning eyes: "It's a small matter, don't be polite to me."

There is not much traffic on the way home, and it is unimpeded. Gao Chi does not need to pay much attention to the road conditions, and can focus all his attention on the co-pilot.While driving, he observed Zhao Siqi's expression from the corner of his eye.

"So what's the status of the kitten now?" Gao Chi asked.

Zhao Siqi said: "Its injury looks serious, but it is actually a skin trauma. The doctor said that its vitality is very tenacious, and its platelets are more than ordinary cats. It will be fine in the hospital for a while and more protein. I will come back next week. Go pick it up."

Gao Chi nodded: "Okay, I will drive you there next week."

Zhao Siqi was stunned for a moment, flattered and said: "No need, I'll just go there by myself, I won't trouble you."

Gao Chi didn't insist, nor did he agree.He glanced at Zhao Siqi with intriguing eyes, like a hint.

Zhao Siqi didn't pay attention.

The red light in the distance came on, and Gao Chi stepped on the brake slowly.He held the steering wheel very relaxed, tapped his fingers once and for all, glanced at Zhao Siqi meaningfully again, and asked, "You really don't need me to see you?"

Zhao Siqi shook her head.

Gao Chi immediately lowered his face, his eyes seemed to be covered with ice, and he stopped talking.

The car was quiet for a while, because the signal on this section of the road was not good, even the radio had no sound.

As soon as the green light came on, Gao Chi slammed on the accelerator, and the car galloped away at a speed comparable to that of a galloping cheetah.

Zhao Siqi raised her hand and grasped the handrail of the car roof in a daze.

He felt that Gao Chi was angry, but he didn't know why.He quietly raised his eyes to look at Gao Chi, and the flickering street lights came in from the car window, flashing on Gao Chi's body, leaving behind faint yellow afterimages.Half of Gao Chi's face was in the shadows, Zhao Siqi had difficulty seeing his face clearly, and it was even more difficult to grasp his emotions.

"What are you looking at me for?" Gao Chi said suddenly.

Zhao Siqi looked away in embarrassment, opened and closed her lips several times, not knowing what to say to ease the atmosphere.

Gao Chi stared at the road ahead without squinting, and his tone was a bit fierce: "Do you know that it's impolite to stare at people all the time? If you keep watching, I will suspect that you are interested in me."

So Zhao Siqi immediately turned his head and looked at the night scene outside the car window, not daring to look at Gao Chi again.

The car entered the main road, the signal finally improved, and the voice of the radio host came from the radio.

The host first chatted with the audience for a while, then played an English song, and introduced it while playing. This is a love song, and it is about a humble crush that ended without a problem.

The voice of the male singer sounded in the car, low and hoarse, and the lyrics sang from his mouth, with a sense of sadness and heartbreak.

Zhao Siqi had never heard this song before, and he couldn't understand it, but he heard Gao Chi sing a few lines, his voice was very low, almost blending with the original singing.

I don't know why, it's obviously an extremely sad love song, but Zhao Siqi felt that Gao Chi's mood improved after listening to it.

The car was driving on the main road at a constant speed and was about to turn into a small road.The street lights on both sides of this trail are very dim, and the distance between each street light is very far, and there is no light for a long section in the middle.

Gao Chi slowed down and turned on the high beams.Zhao Siqi also lifted his spirits and followed him to pay attention to the road ahead.

There was no one around at night, and Gao Chi was advancing steadily at a speed of sixty miles, everything was so harmonious and quiet.

Until a drunk suddenly rushed out from the right.

Holding a wine bottle in his hand, the drunk recklessly bumped towards Gao Chi as if he had lost his soul.

Gao Chi didn't think much, and made a decision in a second. He turned the steering wheel violently to the left, and the driver's seat hit the left guardrail.

With a bang, the guardrail was knocked over.

Zhao Siqi's pupils dilated, and his body tilted to the left. He raised his hand, following the inertia to protect Gao Chi, but just as he stretched out his hand, Gao Chi held it down forcefully.

Gao Chi's arm was in front of him, protecting him tightly in his arms, but his head hit the hard car window next to him. There was a loud bang, and a spider web-like crack appeared on the glass instantly. .

The airbag deployed belatedly, covering the broken window.

The broadcast was also interrupted.

Zhao Siqi seemed to have fallen into a silent world, everything around her was muted, but there were bursts of tinnitus in her ears, as if the blood in her whole body was rushing to her head.He couldn't see clearly and had trouble breathing, because his face was still buried in Gao Chi's chest, and his facial features were even squeezed out of shape.

Zhao Siqi took a little effort to look up at Gao Chi.His face was flushed, frightened, and adrenaline was pumping.The moment he saw Gao Chi clearly, the blood on his face quickly faded, becoming paler than the light outside.

"Gao Chi...?" Zhao Siqi called out tentatively.

Gao Chi's head rested on the inflated air sac, his eyes were closed tightly, and his thick eyelashes drooped downward, without any response.

Zhao Siqi yelled again tremblingly, but Gao Chi still didn't respond, as if he was just asleep.

The drunk man not far away witnessed this scene, and most of the wine woke up in an instant.

He ran away, and the wine bottle was thrown on the ground, shattered into glass shards.The scarlet wine exploded in the air like fireworks, and then splashed to the ground, drying up and disappearing in a short time.
