Chapter 7 Chapter VII

I fell asleep in a daze, and I don't know how long it took.When I woke up, I saw the window was bright and clean, the white gauze was fluttering in front of the window, and the sky was never before blue.I raised my hand and rubbed my eyes, seeing that the room was neat and tidy, I thought I was not at home.Just confusedly thinking, where am I?Just as he groped to sit up, he heard the door lock click. Zheng Kaiwen walked in with something in his hand.I was startled, and hurriedly pulled the sheet up to my neck, and blurted out: "Why are you at my house?" He looked at me and said, "I'm confused." I looked at him, and asked, "Am I sick? He sat down by the bed, handed me a bowl of medicine in his hand and said, "You have a fever. I should have sent you to the hospital. But it's not a serious illness, so don't bother."

I looked at the dark thing in the bowl and smelled it: "What is this?" "Cold tea, when I have a cold, the old servant at home often brews it for me. After a long time, I will cook it myself." He held my hand and said, "Drink it." I looked at the black tea He could only drink the stuff in one gulp, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Aren't we on the boat?" "When I got off the boat, I felt hot on your body. I called you, but you didn't respond. So I had no choice but to take you back to your home. I took your temperature and it was almost 40 degrees." He stood up, I went to the table and took a thermometer and stuffed it into my mouth, and said: "Seeing that you are so sick and no one is taking care of you, I can't just let you die."

I looked down at my clothes, screamed ah, and said, "Did you change my clothes for me?" "What are you making such a fuss about?" He picked up the thermometer I dropped on the quilt, wiped it with an alcohol cotton ball, stuffed it back into my mouth and said, "So what if I changed it. It's not like I haven't seen a woman before, Aren't you a woman? There's nothing I can't see." I thought to myself: It is because you have seen too many women that this girl does not want you to see them.Unable to speak with the thermometer in his mouth, he mumbled a few words.He took the thermometer away from my mouth and said, "Yan Xiaonan came here last night, and the clothes she changed for you."

"Xiao Nan has been here, where is she?" I excitedly got off the bed with my slippers, Zheng Kaiwen grabbed me and said, "She's gone, hurrying to start work. Your fever hasn't subsided yet, lie down." Said No matter what happens, I tucked into the quilt, I curled up in the quilt like a kitten, stared at him with big innocent eyes and said, "How long have I been asleep?" He looked at his watch and said, "Seven or eight hours, the recovery is pretty fast." I shrank my neck and asked in a low voice, "Have you been here all this time?"

"What if you die of illness after I'm gone?" He smiled and said, "The trade union will definitely condemn me as an inhumane boss, and I think the whole of Hong Kong will condemn me. And you took care of me once when I was sick in Shanghai, Now we're even." I snorted lightly, "You're really clear." "Business, nothing else, don't you know how to settle accounts?" I laughed angrily, and said vaguely, "What about the No. 3 project?" Hearing this, he fell silent suddenly.He lowered his head and wiped the thermometer slowly, thinking for a long time before saying, "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."

A faint sentence, I don't know how much bitterness and pain it contains.The painstaking effort and energy he put into this project is probably only known to those of us who actually participated in it.How many days and nights are unavoidable, accompanied by eating, drinking, and smiling faces, and even need to ask for a loan from the bank... He has to take this responsibility on his shoulders, which is a lot of responsibility. I looked at his hand wiping the thermometer, the fingers were white and slender, and the knuckles were clear and prominent.I thought about how these hands had once been on my forehead, put their arms around my shoulders, and made cold tea for me, and I couldn't help but ask him in a low voice, "Mr. Zheng, are you okay?" ?”

He turned to look at me, twitched the corner of his mouth without a smile and said, "Do you think I'm alright?" I also smiled at him, and said with a little sentimentality: "It's all my fault." He looked at me strangely, and I continued: "Fortune tellers say that my fate is hard. To build a company is to fail a company. Originally, I I did a good job in that advertising company, but you insisted on dragging me here, and now I have dragged down the project that caused you." He deliberately opened his eyes wide and said: "You are so powerful, then I will arrange for you to go to my opponent's company."

We both laughed and he pulled the covers for me.The doorbell rang twice, and he said, "Maybe it's Yan Xiaonan, I'll open the door, and you lie down again." I nodded, reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked, "Mr. Zheng, are you all right? He nodded confidently and said, "If you don't call me Mr. Zheng, I will be better off." I let go, and heard him go out to open the door, the door lock clicked, and I was waiting for his response, but there was no sound for a long time.I couldn't help asking: "Who is it, is it Xiao Nan?" He didn't answer me, I waited and still didn't answer, so I ran out barefoot in my pajamas.

Once in the living room, I was dumbfounded. The one standing outside the door was not Yan Xiaonan, but Zheng Kaiqi. The two brothers stood facing each other across a door, and suddenly they all looked at me.Zheng Kaiqi's eyes were not surprised, but more questioning.I immediately felt furious, and I wanted to arrest him and ask him for punishment, but he himself came to the door.I was about to rush up, but Zheng Kaiwen went to the sofa and took the clothes, looked at me and said, "Then I'll go first, I bought something in the refrigerator. Remember to take medicine." I gave a soft "hmm" and saw him enter the elevator, then I dragged Zheng Kaiqi and shouted: "Come in for me."

"Why is he at your house?" Zheng Kaiqi asked me suddenly. I was out of breath, and because I was sick, I coughed twice before asking him with a sneer: "He found this house, he rented it, and he arranged it for me. Why can't he come here? You If you want to blame others, it is better to ask yourself first, you have not only been here, but also spent the night here." As expected, his face darkened, very ugly, and he asked me coldly, "What do you mean by that?" "I was going to ask you! What do you mean?" I pushed him hard, and he was suddenly pushed down on the sofa by me, half-up, stared at me and said, "I just saw that you didn't go to work today , so I came to see you with good intentions. Don’t treat yourself like a donkey with good intentions.”

I was so angry that my stomach cramped, and I said sarcastically: "You are so kind, you probably won't come here to spy again." When I said the central thing, a trace of timidity flashed in his eyes, and he turned away from looking at me. "I got it right." My heart ached for no reason.Grab his collar with both hands and push him out, shouting: "Get out, get out! I treat you as a friend, but you betrayed me! Find me for dinner, look at me kindly... It turns out that it is just Want to get information from me. What do you think of me! Friend? Stop laughing at me." I had already shut him out of the door, but I was still screaming angrily. He slammed on the door outside and shouted: "That's not the case! Luo Xin, you believe me, I didn't get any information from you at all. I really didn't... Yes, I originally wanted to get information from you Find something, but then I don't have it, I really don't have it." "No, only ghosts will believe you." I yelled back loudly. "I'm serious..." He stopped for a while, and I heard footsteps, presumably a neighbor just walked by, his words inevitably caused misunderstandings.After a while, he really said again: "I admit that I had some intentions to get close to you at the beginning, but what I said to you that day was true... Luo Xin... Can you open the door and listen to me... Luo Xin... Luo..." "You've said enough, I don't want to hear it anymore." I clicked the door lock back. He was still beating my anti-theft door vigorously outside the door, and his voice was ringing.I irritatedly covered my ears with a pillow, and suddenly the sound stopped.I thought my ostrich tactic worked, but when I removed the pillow, I realized that there was really no sound. Suddenly he couldn't hear his shout, but panicked for a while, and hurried back to the door, watching his movements through the cat's eyes.But no one, I relieved myself that he was probably gone, and was about to turn around, but suddenly heard a bumping sound, and a woman's voice asked: "Sir, what's wrong with you?" I hurriedly opened the door, and saw Zheng Kaiqi sitting on the ground leaning against the corner, pulling open his collar with one hand, and clutching the skirt tightly with the other, his chest was heaving violently, and he couldn't breathe.When the housewife next door saw me open the door, she hurriedly said, "He looks like he has an asthma attack. Miss, is he your friend?" "Asthma?!" I grabbed Zheng Kaiqi with both hands, shook it vigorously and said, "Don't scare me, you are just kidding me." I was in a cold sweat. Seeing him in so much pain, my heart was also out of breath.He was trembling all over because he couldn't breathe, his face was flushed red, and he held my arm tightly with his right hand with amazing strength.I was anxious and flustered, if something happened to him, how would I explain it to Zheng Kaiwen. The housewife next door was very calm, pulled me and said: "He has always had this disease, then he should have medicine on him." Suddenly, I hurriedly rummaged through his pockets for a while, and found one The bottle hurriedly asked: "Is it this?" He nodded with all his might, I hurriedly pulled off the cap and stuffed it into his mouth, and let him take two deep breaths, only to see his expression soften. I was paralyzed, as if I was walking on the verge of life and death. The housewife scolded me and said: "What can I say to the young couple? If they are arguing through the door, the administrator will call 999. Go in. Let's talk." I didn't bother to explain to her, and after thanking her repeatedly, I helped Zheng Kaiqi into the room. After letting him sit on the sofa, I poured him a glass of warm water, and he took a sip, and his complexion finally recovered.I patted myself on the heart and said, "I'm scared to death. How can you say that your disease just flares up, without any symptoms at all." He looked at me, suddenly smiled, and said, "Did I scare you just now?" "It really scared me to death. I heard that asthma can kill people." I straightened his neckline, but he grabbed my hand and said, "You don't believe me." I withdrew my hand and said, "How can I believe you? You just came to my house. Your father found my boss the next day and said that the project at No. You wouldn’t act so rashly. If it’s not you, who else leaked the news?” He rolled my eyes at me and said, "You underestimate my father. He is definitely not the kind of person who will jump to judgment after hearing a word from others. And my uncle, besides me, he is beside my second brother. There are definitely no less than three eyeliners. Even if I really got some news from you, he would have known about it a long time ago." My heart sank suddenly, what kind of family is this, they know fame and utilitarianism all day long.Even his own nephew is a computer, what kind of uncle is this. "I think the reason why my second brother took you from Shanghai all the way is because you can trust him. Now he has to find someone he trusts, and it's not easy." I looked at him and sneered, "I didn't expect you to be a good substitute." Is your second brother thinking about it? You seem to know his thoughts." "After all, we are blood brothers. And you are right, I made troubles against him... It didn't do me any good, and I also lost face to my family. So I think even if I can't do anything, at least I should settle down." Be careful, don't make trouble for the family. Trust me!" I sighed with emotion, looked at him and said, "I believe in you, but you know how much trouble you have caused." Maybe only I know that the consequences are unpredictable. After the stop of the No. 3 project, my daily workload has been greatly reduced.Of course, the colleagues who worked on the No. 3 project with me have left the company one after another, and I am also waiting for the arrival of the white envelope.But waiting and waiting, a month passed, and nothing happened. Just when I thought the matter was finally settled by Zheng Kaiwen, an unexpected visitor came to my office suddenly. The brothers' uncle, Shao Tianyang. He knocked on the door, then walked in and said, "Miss Liang, may I sit down?" "Mr. Shao, sit down." I tried my best to put on a gentle expression, so as not to let him see how much I loathe this person's face. But this hateful person looked at my empty desk and said sarcastically, "It seems that you have been quite free recently." I have a high EQ, and I don't have the same knowledge as this kind of person. "Does Mr. Shao have any orders?" "Don't dare. You are Kevin's personal soldier, and I can't do anything about it." He laughed selfishly, and I felt goosebumps all over my body when I heard it, but my heart ached. It's been almost a week, and I can't find Zheng Kaiwen anywhere, and he won't answer my calls.Occasionally when I saw him in the company, he was in a meeting.He didn't look for me, and he turned a blind eye to me. I don't understand what happened.But, I'm worried...it's been so long, what happened to him?How much responsibility can that shoulder bear? When I came back to my senses, there was already one more thing on the table. white envelope. What a dazzling white envelope. I never expected that I got this white envelope from Shao Tianyang. What happened to Zheng Kaiwen? "This is a little bit of kindness from the company." He took out another envelope and said to me with a smile: "You have worked very hard these days. Kevin also feels very embarrassed. This is a small gesture..." I stood up abruptly, picked up the heavy white envelope and asked him, "Did Zheng Kaiwen ask you to give it to me?" "This is what the company means. Kevin is also a member of the company..." I sneered and threw the white envelope on him: "I'm just a low-level employee, and these are too much severance pay. I can't afford it." Shao Tianyang looked at me in embarrassment and said, "It's hard for me to do what you do." "Mr. Shao, don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you." I took off my coat and purse from the hanger, picked up the dismissal letter on the table, and said, "I still have money to buy a plane ticket back to Shanghai, so don't worry about it." .” I walked out of the office with my head held high, when I suddenly heard Shao Tianyang's voice behind me. "Miss Liang, you really have a lot of backbone, but you can't take it for food if you have a backbone." I looked back at his disgusting face, suppressed my anger, smiled at him without showing any weakness, and said, "Mr. Shao, I think that your backbone may have been eaten away Bar." There was a burst of low laughter in the public area, Shao Tianyang's face was really uglier than a pig's liver. Although he is Zheng Kaiwen's uncle no matter what, I shouldn't be so disrespectful, but this lady has always been a person who does not offend me, and I will not offend others. If you provoke me, I will definitely put the leftovers in your bowl. I strode out of Zheng's Building, and the little expectation left in my heart dissipated. Zheng Kaiwen can't protect himself now, how can he still have the ability to take care of me.No... I shouldn't have any expectations of him anymore, let alone want him to protect me. I'm his employee, that's all.Now we don't even have this level of relationship. From now on, we are just strangers. "Luo Xin." On the street, someone suddenly called my name so loudly. My heart couldn't help a burst of excitement. However, the person who rushed over to grab me was not Zheng Kaiwen, but Zheng Kaiqi. I saw him sweating profusely, and I felt a little sad in my heart. "Why are you running so fast, you are not afraid of another asthma attack, I am afraid of you." I joked and took out a tissue to wipe his sweat. He didn't smile at all, and said seriously: "Are you leaving?" I smiled and deliberately said frankly: "Everyone is gone, I should go too." He anxiously sweated on his forehead: "But, you should at least wait for my second brother to come back and tell him. Don't you want to wait for him?" "No need, he's just an employee of Huanyu Company. The white envelope is covered with the company's big red stamp. I have no reason to hold back." I tried my best to keep smiling, but the anxious, sad, and uneasy expression in his eyes She, these sincere feelings are causing my defenses to collapse little by little. I lowered my eyelashes, smiled and said, "Don't worry about me, I can still find a job when I go back to Shanghai. Don't forget, I graduated with a master's degree, and I am so young and capable. Even if I can't find a promising job, I still can't find a job." To a promising husband?" "But...but just like that you left..." He grabbed my wrist tightly, but refused to let go. I interrupted him on purpose, afraid that he would say something that I couldn't bear, and this kind of sensational scene would make me, the unworthy Liang Luoxin, burst into tears. "It's not that I'm dead, I still have a chance to meet you in the future. A two-hour flight from Shanghai to Hong Kong is enough." He suddenly hugged me tightly, so hard that he almost squeezed out all the moisture in my chest cavity.I raised my chin and looked at the sky. The sun was shining hotly on my pupils. I thought the tears must have evaporated, but I didn't cry. "I'm really useless. In the end, I couldn't even keep a friend." "Cage, thank you." I pushed him away and held his hand: "In life, there are always many things that can't be done. If there is anything that goes wrong in the future, don't make trouble, call me Or come to see me in Shanghai, I will take you to eat delicious food, go shopping, meet beautiful girls..." "When is your plane?" "I don't know." I know what he wants to do, but I can't let him do it. If I see Zheng Kaiwen again, maybe I don't even have the courage to leave, I will really stay here, even if I can only pick up garbage here, I will stay by his side. yes i love him. Although I don't know when it started, but I know that I have fallen hopelessly in love with Zheng Kaiwen and my "former" boss. I'm sitting in the airport lobby with my suitcases next to me, no more than when I arrived. In a few minutes before boarding, in the empty airport hall, all thoughts and memories rushed to my eyes in a flash.The first time I met Zheng Kaiwen with his nasty expression, and my damn mineral water bottle... In the meeting room, the red PRADA... He was sick and confused... I was kidnapped as his sister... On Binjiang Avenue, his smile, his lonely back...that piano piece, what he said...that rainy night when he parked the car downstairs at my house...we were on the ferry... Everything is like a dream. If Cinderella really had a pair of crystal slippers, it turned out that I couldn't wear them. I buried my face in my arms and wept uncontrollably.
