The card flew straight into Zhao Jizhe's eyes, almost hitting him in the face. Li Xuan turned around and walked out, saying to the waiter who was standing there in a daze, "Check out."
"Li Xuan!"
Zhao Jizhe stood up in a hurry, knocking over the chair behind him with a loud bang. He looked at Li Xuan's back, calmer than ever before, and because of this, Zhao Jizhe was more scared than ever before.
The card in his hand was like a death warrant. Li Xuan gave him one on the day he was released from prison, and now he used another to end it.
He told Zhao Jizhe clearly that his patience would end here. If he continued to deny it, he would really kill him.
Li Xuan can do it.
Zhao Jizhe didn't want to leave, but he didn't want to die either.
He didn't know why it suddenly became like this. This was not the first time he had followed Li Xuan, so why did he suddenly hit his bottom line? What exactly was Li Xuan's bottom line
There was no time to think about this anymore. Zhao Jizhe pinched his palm and said, "I... I can go back to the Internet cafe..."
"No." Li Xuan continued to walk out, "You don't have this option now."
"I'm going to the hospital!"
Seeing that Li Xuan was about to step out of the restaurant, Zhao Jizhe shouted, "Didn't you say this was a disease? I, I'll go to the hospital... You contact a hospital... I'll go."
Li Xuan frowned slightly and stopped: "... Are you really crazy?"
"A mental hospital is fine. Didn't you say I'm sick? I'll go there to get treatment." Zhao Jizhe was shaking all over, not knowing whether it was because of excitement or nervousness. "... You will come to see me, right? I'm sure other patients' relatives will come too..."
Li Xuan looked at his crazy expression, his face darkened, he pressed his eyebrows, he knew that he should shatter all of Zhao Jizhe's dreams now and send him as far away as possible...
"nineteen… "
"Just shut up!"
He looked up at Zhao Jizhe. He had said many times that he didn't owe him anything. But today, if they had to settle the score, only Zhao Jizhe owed him, and Li Xuan didn't want to settle the score.
But Sheng Min's judgment was correct. He hated being blamed and owed nothing to Zhao Jizhe. So what right did Zhao Jizhe have to blame him... Li Xuan knew the crux of this contradiction.
Like those medicines, that bowl of wontons...
Are the medicines in that small clinic really effective
Can that bowl of wontons without even a trace of meat nourish the body
Li Xuancai didn't believe it. He didn't think he would die, and Zhao Jizhe's one-sided care was a real burden to him.
But he had been forced to accept this favor, no matter what his original intention was.
And the scar on Zhao Jizhe's arm...
"nineteen… "
Li Xuan did not answer. During the phone call with Shouhou today, before hanging up, he asked Shouhou if he wanted to take another big order. At that moment, he had already had the idea in mind, but when Shouhou was waiting for him to continue with anticipation, he hung up.
The dark sky was covered with dark clouds, with no stars or moon.
The park not far away was surrounded by layers of walls, standing quietly in the darkness like a ghost town. It turned out that those walls had been there for a long time, before the park was built.
The company was silent. Li Xuan walked to the door of the office and knocked gently on the door next to it: "Come out."
"Aren't you going back?" Half a minute later, Qi Boyuan pushed open the door and a black shadow flew towards him. He raised his hand to catch it. It was the locator.
"Solved?" Qi Boyuan raised an eyebrow. "It's not that difficult. It seems that you have tolerated him for so long, I thought there was something really great about him."
"Don't do these tricks next time." Li Xuan leaned against the window and lit a cigarette.
Qi Boyuan was not surprised and sat down opposite him: "When did you know... You can't know it after I give it to you? That would be too embarrassing for me."
"This model was released in the United States in June this year. It is very difficult to buy in China. The program inside has also been modified. It will constantly send back the address in the opposite direction..." Li Xuan exhaled a puff of smoke, "How did Zhao Jizhe know about this thing, and where did he buy it? After installing it in my car, who took it down and picked it up again?"
"You're amazing... But I didn't ask him to buy it. If he was a normal person, he wouldn't take this bait." Qi Boyuan did this for the first time, and he didn't feel so justified. He coughed and said, "I did it for the company. I didn't intend to hide it from you. I just wanted to deal with these things quickly and develop the company peacefully..."
"Luckily you didn't say it was for me."
"I'm so sick of you... It's okay for your big star, but I just want to emphasize it for you... Let me put the question in front of you. If something really happens, your big star..."
"That's enough." Li Xuan raised his eyes, "Don't always bring up Sheng Min. Sheng Min will be fine. You are showing me how hard Zhao Jizhe has pushed you because of this matter in the company..."
"Zhao Jizhe is a man with bad intentions. Sooner or later, there will be trouble. Don't think I'm making a fuss and driving him away... You don't care about the company, but I do. But if I don't use Sheng Min as an excuse, you won't do anything..." Qi Boyuan pushed his glasses angrily, "I won't confess this either, just deduct one month's salary from me... You came at the right time. I'm actually not ready when you asked me today..."
"I see... You are the one who manages the accounts, you can do whatever you want." Li Xuan held a cigarette in his mouth and twirled a lighter with one hand. He understood what Qi Boyuan wanted to do, but he didn't intend to delve into it. He stopped there and changed the subject naturally, "You have an appointment with the investor tomorrow morning, right?"
"Yes, two. Let's talk about the two companies you think are good. One at 9 o'clock and the other at 11 o'clock." Qi Boyuan looked at his watch. "It's a bit late now. Do you want me to change the time?"
"No need, we can still make it. I'm leaving now, and you can go back too." He stood up.
"I'll send you the information from the last round of discussions later." Qi Boyuan also stood up and said casually, "Let me confirm again, has the bomb been sent away this time?"
Li Xuan pulled the corner of his mouth: "The bomb will explode anywhere."
"What do you mean..." Qi Boyuan's hands froze, "He won't come tomorrow, right?... He can come because you agreed in the end. Now that you don't agree, he..."
"Why would I agree?" Li Xuan asked in a low voice, not knowing who to ask.
Qi Boyuan was stunned: "How should I know?"
"I won't come." Li Xuan shook his head. The lines on his face were cold, and his tone was cold, "Not tomorrow."
This cold feeling continued all the way home. When I opened the bedroom door, I felt the warmth of spring.
Perhaps because she had been cold when she was a child, Sheng Min was a little afraid of the cold. Before winter came, she had already changed into a thin coral fleece blanket and would always snuggle into his arms when she fell asleep at night. Tonight, Li Xuan was not here, so he slept alone, curled up in a ball.
There was a night light on the bedside. Li Xuan walked over and placed the lily of the valley on the bedside. He bent down and gently pulled out the book from his hand. As soon as he moved, Sheng Min held his hand back: "You're back?... I wanted to wait for you, but I fell asleep."
"No need to wait for me..." Li Xuan kissed his fingertips, "How was your day? Didn't you say you'd come back and talk about it?"
"It's good... The teacher taught me a lot, and I will go again tomorrow." Sheng Min's eyes were shining outside the quilt, and he looked a little embarrassed, but very determined, "I will go to the audition. Whether I am chosen or not, I think I can act well."
"Yes, you will definitely act well." Li Xuan looked at his eyebrows and showed his first sincere smile tonight, "You go back to sleep, I'm going to take a shower." He patted him gently through the quilt, said he was leaving, held his hand, but was reluctant to let go even a step.
Shengmin looked up at him a little confused.
"Let me hold you for a while." Li Xuan said suddenly.
He always wanted to hug him, and every time he felt tired, this was the utmost sign of weakness.
Sheng Min looked at Li Xuan for a moment, sat up, and hugged him tightly in his arms with both hands.
"What's wrong?" After a while, Sheng Min kissed his earlobe and said softly, "Do you miss me?"
"I missed you. I haven't seen you for 19 hours." Li Xuan put his arm around his waist and suddenly said, "I'm going to smoke."
Sheng Min sniffed his neck and said, "It doesn't smell anymore. Was it smoked by the company?"
"Yeah, I talked to Qi Boyuan for a while."
"How many did you smoke?"
"Two."
"This week's quota is full. But since you know how to be honest..." He kissed Li Xuan's cheek, "I'll reward you."
"You're trying to take advantage of me." Li Xuan smiled, "You're making excuses. I saw that I fell asleep, and you kissed me a lot."
"Who kissed who secretly?"
"I kissed you secretly." Li Xuan held his waist and kissed his forehead, "I kissed you blatantly."
Sheng Min pretended to glare at him, then smiled, touched his eyes, and with her other hand, she hooked her fingertips around the hair on the back of Li Xuan's neck and asked him softly, "Are you worried about something?"
"No."
"Lie... You can't lie to me."
"Not really." Li Xuan was silent for a moment, touching his thin shoulder blade, "... Zhao Jizhe is gone."
Sheng Min blinked. In fact, he had never seen Zhao Jizhe before. He only vaguely pieced together his image. He could also feel that Li Xuan's attitude towards this person was strange.
"Where are you going?"
"Hospital."
"Is he ill?"
"It's never been easy." Li Xuan shook his head.
Sheng Min pondered for a moment and said, "Is it a good thing?"
"It won't get worse." Li Xuan barely smiled, "It's okay, it's just a matter of time."
"Really?"
Seongmin pulled away a little and looked into his eyes, but there was no emotion in Li Xuan's dark eyes.
“Really.” He just opened his arms towards Sheng Min, “Let me hold you for a while longer.”
The two looked at each other for a moment, Li Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and he even smiled lightly, so Sheng Min touched his temples, silently, and leaned over to hug him again as he wished.
