Parisians call their city the "City of Lights", and their nights are brightly lit and neon, more vibrant than in the daytime. But Guan Zhiyi had no desire to appreciate it. Looking at the receding street scene outside the car window, all she felt was uneasiness.
After returning to the hotel, Liu Yun sent someone to bring food to the room. Guan Zhiyi ate a few mouthfuls and asked casually, "Is he all right?"
Liu Yun didn't realize what she said for a while: "Huh? Who?"
Guan Zhiyi lowered his eyes and picked up the vegetables: "Didn't he say he was sick? Is there someone to take care of him?"
"Oh, Mr. Qi, I don't know, this meeting should be resting." Liu Yundao, "But he didn't bring his assistant who often follows him when he came here this time. I think it's a little inconvenient for him to come from a foreign country."
Guan Zhiyi frowned: "Didn't we all bring a medicine box when we came out? Send him the thermometer and antipyretics."
"That's right." Liu Yun said, "Then you can go later."
Guan Zhiyi was stunned for a moment: "Me?"
"Could it be... you won't go?"
Liu Yun didn't mean to make Guan Zhiyi do things. Now that she serves her alone, it can be regarded as relying on her for food, not any relationship between superiors and subordinates. She simply felt that, given the relationship between Guan Zhiyi and Qi Chengyan, she would definitely visit him.
"Why don't you send the medicine box over there." Guan Zhiyi thought of the awkward conversation between the two yesterday, and said it directly when he got angry. Don't get close, don't cling anymore, avoid suspicion... I don't know how to deal with it normally after being so broken.
Liu Yundao: "No, Zhiyi, I think it's better for you to go. He is the boss, and I dare not ask any questions when I go. You know each other well, so you should care about it."
"Oh…"
"What's the matter, are you... fighting?"
Guan Zhiyi waved his hand: "No way, I'll go and see him later."
In the end, she was still worried, no matter what she said, she really didn't care in her heart.
And... people should visit when they are sick, right
Guan Zhiyi didn't finish his meal, so he took out the medicine box from the suitcase and went to Qi Chengyan's room.
The room he lived in was above them. After finding out the room number, she stood at the door hesitating for a while and knocked on the door.
After waiting for a minute, the door was pulled open from the inside. Qi Chengyan stood quietly in the door wearing a bathrobe.
Guan Zhiyi glanced at him, and handed over the medicine box: "I heard that you went outside the suburbs today... Did you catch a cold? This is the medicine box I brought out. Use it if you need it."
Qi Chengyan looked down at her, but still didn't speak.
Guan Zhiyi: "... you take it."
"Come in." Qi Chengyan didn't answer, turned around and walked into the room.
Guan Zhiyi paused and had no choice but to follow in.
After entering the door, she saw Qi Chengyan sitting down on the sofa. So she put the medicine box on the coffee table and took out the thermometer from it, "Take your temperature first."
Qi Chengyan hummed, but did not refuse. Guan Zhiyi walked up to him, leaned on him slightly, and tested his ear.
beep—
"38 degrees, you really have a fever." Guan Zhiyi said hastily, "Have you sent someone to deliver your medicine yet?"
Of course the medicine has been taken.
But Qi Chengyan looked at the nervous little girl, and the words he wanted to say twirled on the tip of his tongue before being swallowed back. He leaned back and said lightly, "No."
"Why didn't you ask someone to bring the medicine? I thought you had already taken it." Guan Zhiyi was a little annoyed.
Qi Chengyan glanced at her: "Since you already think so, why are you here again?"
Don't worry if you haven't seen it yet.
Guan Zhiyi choked, and said: "I was thinking what if you haven't taken it... Here are antipyretics and cold medicine, I'll pour some water, you can take some."
Guan Zhiyi turned around to boil water, Qi Chengyan looked at her back and pinched the center of her brows.
He was irritated by her words on the stairs yesterday, so he didn't go to the shooting site early this morning, but went to the factory. But in fact, there was nothing to see at the factory, so he just walked around and wandered outside.
Today's weather was extremely bad, and the wind was gusty. Unfortunately, he was also in an extremely bad mood at the time, so he didn't pay attention to it at all. Who knows, he will be tricked when he comes back.
At first, I thought that my childish behavior was a mess, but when I saw Guan Zhiyi's nervous face, I suddenly felt that it was worth it, and the suppressed anger in my heart dissipated a lot. He even thought helplessly, this little brat doesn't know anything, so why should he be angry with her.
"Eat one of this, drink a cup of cold spirit, and then you can take a good rest." Guan Zhiyi said, "When you wake up, take your temperature again."
"Um."
Guan Zhiyi just stood aside and watched him take the medicine, and she said after he finished, "Then go to bed and sleep, I'll go first."
As soon as he finished speaking, his wrist was pulled.
I don't know if it's because he has a fever, but his palm is very hot, which makes her pulse agitated.
"… What's wrong?"
"So rest assured that I am a patient and stay by myself?"
Qi Chengyan looked up at her, with a trace of tiredness and... wrongedness in his eyes. In the blink of an eye, Guan Zhiyi suspected that he had misread it.
Because of the fact that she liked him, Qi Chengyan has always been a very dignified "elderly" figure in her heart. He always treats her like an adult, and it's obviously not in line with him to be wronged by being sick like a child.
I must have missed it...
However, she suddenly remembered that when she was sick when she was young, once he had a high fever and he came to visit her at home, and she cried and refused to let him go, but he really stayed with her all day and didn't go to school.
Looking back at her now, she looks really heartless.
Guan Zhiyi reflected on herself for a while, and said, "But you have to rest, am I bothering you?"
"I won't be able to sleep for a while, so you can talk to me."
"Oh… "
Seeing that she agreed, Qi Chengyan twitched his mouth slightly, got up and walked to the bed: "I'll lie down for a while."
But he was still pulling her, so Guan Zhiyi could only be forced to follow his bedside, watching him lie down in bed.
Guan Zhiyi: "...then me?"
"Sit on the side." Qi Chengyan held on, and said, "Watch."
"..."
Guan Zhiyi sat on the edge of the bed, watching him lying on his side, her gaze fell on her lightly. No one spoke, the room was silent, and a strange atmosphere enveloped her, making her a little at a loss.
"Did the filming go well today?" Finally, Qi Chengyan broke the silence.
Guan Zhiyi glanced at the wrist being grabbed by him, fidgeting: "Very, very smooth."
"How many more days will it take?"
"Three or four days, and on the last day I have to shoot commercials..."
"Um."
"What about you, when will you go back?"
"When do you want me to go back?"
Guan Zhiyi was taken aback, is this something she can decide
Qi Chengyan looked at her puzzled eyes, smiled lightly, but didn't say anything, just said: "It depends on the situation, go back when you feel better."
"Well... that's fine too."
Qi Chengyan felt drowsy already when he was talking to her, and the medicine she had taken before coming here had stamina. However, looking at the person sitting by his bed, he felt a little reluctant to sleep.
"Little Five."
"Um?"
"Remember what you said on the other side of the stairs yesterday."
Unexpectedly, he suddenly mentioned this, Guan Zhiyi was a little embarrassed, "That matter—"
"Brother feels a little sad."
"..."
Um
Qi Chengyan's eyes were half-closed, and his voice was a little hoarse because of the fever: "After hanging around me for so long, I suddenly said that I don't want to hang around to avoid suspicion... Are you young people so cruel?"
The room was well heated, and he was lying under the quilt, his face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of red.
Guan Zhiyi stared at him blankly, only to feel that something clicked in his head and broke.
Is he here, complaining
"Don't avoid suspicion, no one will think there is anything wrong with you being by my side, even if there is... Do you think I will talk to her." Qi Chengyan's voice slowly faded, as if he couldn't bear it and wanted to fall asleep.
But even so, she still heard his last words clearly. He said, "Xiao Wu, no one is more important than you."
bang bang bang bang—
He pulled her wrist, eyes closed. Guan Zhiyi stared at his face, feeling her heart was beating wildly, as if it was about to break through her chest and rush out, she had the illusion that she could hardly breathe.
He said no one is more important than you.
Is she actually like this in his heart
The sudden surge of emotions made her a little confused, but in such chaos, she was still inevitably happy. She had obviously built a thick wall against him before, but he simply said this Just let the wall collapse and dust was everywhere, and she saw herself standing inside, at a loss and full of joy.
He said that she is the most important... Does that mean that he actually has the same thoughts as her in his heart, maybe he likes her
His face turned red immediately, Guan Zhiyi felt palpitations and felt impossible at the same time.
Such thoughts and guesses made her flustered, because she was always afraid of being wrong about him.
Maybe he didn't mean the most important thing in that way, maybe he just meant... She is as important as her relatives
"elder brother?"
"Hmm..." He replied, hazy in his sleep.
Guan Zhiyi pursed her lips, not daring to ask, "No... you, sleep well."
She sat by the bed for a long time, until she felt that Qi Chengyan had really fallen asleep, and then secretly pulled her hand out of his palm.
buzz—
The phone in his pocket rang, Guan Zhiyi was afraid of disturbing him, so he quickly picked it up, "Xiao Ran?"
"Zhiyi, where are you, I brought some delicious food outside today, I'll bring it to you." Xiao Ran said on the other side of the phone.
Guan Zhiyi walked a little towards the toilet and said in a low voice, "No need, I've eaten."
"Why are you so quiet, where are you?"
Guan Zhiyi: "I'm here with brother Cheng Yan. He has a fever and is sleeping now."
Xiao Ran paused: "Is he alright?"
"The fever should subside after a while."
"Well, then, I'll ask my assistant to deliver the food to your room. Your manager and the others are here."
"They are here, thank you."
…
Over there, Guan Zhiyi was talking on the phone with his voice suppressed. In the room, Qi Chengyan opened his eyes after she walked away. He glanced at her back and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
step by step...
After all, you can't scare her.
The author has something to say: From Qi's point of view, you don't know that she likes him. So... he is actually probing (seducing) now, and Xu Xu Tuzhi won it again in one fell swoop.
