As soon as these words came out, the living room was quiet for half a minute, only the background music of the game remained.
Qin Man thought for a while: "Does your butt hurt again?"
Ji Ran: "...It's your butt that hurts, your whole family's butt hurts."
"Then why did I provoke you?" Qin Man asked innocently.
Ji Ran threw the documents into the bedroom, then came out and sat on the carpet and started playing games.
Qin Man sat next to him, slowly unfastened his tie, and repeated, "Take some medicine."
"Can you stop pretending to be in front of me, I didn't include this in the package I bought?" Ji Ran said.
Qin Man smiled: "It's a bonus service."
"I don't need it. No more arguing about returning it."
Qin Man nodded: "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he stood up and entered the bedroom, the door slamming softly.
Is this gone? ? Is it really a bonus service? ?
Ji Ran's face was black, and he beat the enemy on the screen to death.
In the evening, Ji Ran took a bath early and fell asleep. Because of the throat inflammation, his body temperature was unavoidably higher, and he was finally woken up after having several nightmares.
He opened his eyes with difficulty, looked at the person in front of him, and asked angrily, "... What are you doing?"
Only then did he realize that he was no longer able to speak, and his words were almost all in breath.
Qin Man pressed his palm against his face, with a serious expression, his face closely followed, and he touched his forehead.
"You've been talking in your sleep." Qin Man sat up, "You have a fever, let's go to the hospital."
Ji Ran glanced at the time, and put the quilt over his body: "it's three o'clock, what hospital are you going to? No... I want to sleep, don't bother me."
Half a minute later, the quilt was lifted. Qin Man has changed into his normal clothes, he said, "either you get up by yourself, or I will carry you."
"Say no."
As soon as the words fell, Qin Man started directly. He forcibly helped Ji Ran up, grabbed clothes from the closet and put them on him, wrapping him tightly.
Ji Ran passively stretched out his hand and raised his leg, scolding: "I'll take care of you when I'm sick. Just wear your clothes, don't touch me... These clothes are out of season, I don't wear them. Do you hear?"
Qin Man patiently helped him get dressed, thinking that if this person said a few words, he would not be so sick.
He half-kneeled beside the bed and stared at Ji Ran: "I'll ask you again, do you go by yourself or should I carry you?"
Ji Ran lowered his head and looked at him for a few seconds.
"My eldest man, I don't need your hug." He looked away, "... stand up and help me."
People get sleepy as soon as they have a fever, Ji Ran forced his eyelids to stare at the scenery outside the car window.
At three in the middle of the night, the streets were empty.
Qin Man drove fast, Ji Ran glanced at the speedometer: "Why, aren't you afraid of being deducted?"
"I'm afraid." Qin Man said, "but I haven't deducted too many points from my driver's license. It's fine to deduct it once in a while."
"...Is this a bonus service or a fee-based service?" Ji Ran said, "I'm going to say it before. I won't pay the fine for you, you can't force me to consume it."
Qin Man raised his hand and taped his face with the back of his finger: "Don't worry about not charging you."
Ji's burning was a little high, and the doctor opened a hanging bottle for him directly.
He leaned lazily back in his chair, watching the needle slowly pierce his skin.
"You are caused by throat inflammation. Eat less fried food and drink more water these days." The nurse carefully helped him fix the needle and asked the person beside him, "Are you his friend?"
Qin Man said: "Yes."
"These medicines are best taken after meals, otherwise you can buy him something to eat? There are two porridge shops nearby that are open 24 hours a day."
"I don't eat it." Ji Ran muttered.
Nurse:"… "
Qin Mandao: "I will take care of him, please trouble you."
After the nurse left, Qin Man sat next to him and squeezed all the medicine into a medicine box: "Take it."
Why didn't Qin Man force him to drink porridge? As far as his previous temperament was concerned, he had to say two hypocritical words.
Ji Ran stared at the medicine box, and suddenly said stubbornly, "I want to drink porridge."
Qin Man raised his eyebrows: "Don't you not eat?"
"Can't I eat it again?" Ji Ran asked, "Do you want to buy it? If you don't buy it, I'll order takeout myself."
As soon as Qin Man walked out of the injection room, he heard the nurse just now chatting with his colleague.
"The little hot-tempered guy you're looking at is a little bad-tempered."
"Really? How bad?"
"Just... It's very rude to talk to friends, and it doesn't seem to be easy to get along with. But then again, although his temper is a little bit worse, he is good-looking and has good blood vessels. If you really like it, you can work hard. try."
"He's not bad-tempered."
Qin Man interrupted their conversation, and the nurse turned around and blushed: "I... I didn't mean that, sorry... "
"It's alright." Qin Man snorted, "He's just not feeling well, he's usually nice to me and his friends."
"I think so..." The nurse quickly changed the subject, "Are you leaving?"
"Go buy him some porridge." Qin Man smiled impeccably and said in a natural tone, "His girlfriend can't come, I will take care of him."
Hearing the word "girlfriend", another nurse's expression changed.
"Well, then you go quickly."
After Ji Ran drank the porridge, his stomach was warm and the whole person felt much more comfortable.
He took the medicine, looked at the hanging bottle on his head, and said, "It's almost there, you can ask the nurse to pull the needle."
Qin Man didn't move: "Ji Shui is only half hung."
"I don't want to sit anymore, just take the medicine and sleep for two hours." Ji Ran said, "Go quickly."
"Finished."
Ji Ran was dizzy, unable to talk to him, leaned back and planned to sleep on the chair for a while.
"Xu Lin has worked under Ji Wei for many years." Qin Man said suddenly, "Although he is only an assistant, he has mixed hands in all the projects under Ji Wei, which is basically equivalent to Ji Wei's confidant. You really can rest assured that he will adjust Come to your department?"
"Don't do your business." Ji Ran closed his eyes and asked self-deprecatingly, "It's hard for you to know Ji Wei's assistant so well. What's the matter, you are his half-brother?"
Qin Man laughed: "Not only Xu Lin, but Ji Wei's employees, I checked a little bit, didn't I show you all of them?"
Ji Ran just glanced at the information quickly, and didn't have time to read it carefully. He snorted: "I thought it was Xu Lin's job-hopping that made Ji Wei panic, and asked you to go out and help him."
"A trick?" Qin Man paused and quickly understood, "You mean about the afternoon?"
Ji Ran said: "No."
Thinking of Yue Wenwen he saw in the restaurant, Qin Man explained, "I made an appointment with a friend in the afternoon, and just happened to meet Ji Wei after chatting. He said he wanted to discuss with me about the class reunion, so I can't refuse."
Ji Ran: "...No one wants to know who you met in the afternoon. Don't disturb me, I want to sleep."
It was nearly five o'clock when I left the hospital after hanging the needle.
When he got home, Ji Ran walked into the house with his head down. He just wanted to lie back in bed and have a good night's sleep, and he didn't want to worry about anything else.
Qin Man took out the medicine from the car, locked the door, and was about to follow him in when he glanced out of the corner and saw a very conspicuous pink paper ball in the trash can.
Ji Ran didn't stay in the parking lot for a long time every day. After so many days, there was almost no garbage in the trash can.
He took a second glance, and was about to leave, but saw a black spot in the corner of the paper ball.
Like an exclamation mark.
—
Ji Ran was woken up by the phone ringing the next day.
It was Xu Lin's call, he woke up instantly, made an appointment with the other party, and was about to get up from the bed.
Unexpectedly, after exerting a little force, an extra hand suddenly appeared on the neck. The person behind him took him back with his neck hooked, and touched his forehead with the other hand.
Ji Burning retreated a little, and his strength returned. He slapped his hand hard and pushed the person away: "What do you do?"
"See if the fever has subsided." Qin Man withdrew his hands, crossed his face, and asked him, "Whose phone is it?"
"Xu Lin."
Ji Ran came out of the wash and saw that Qin Man had changed into his clothes, white T jeans, and finally had the smell of a young man.
"Before going to see him, do you want to have breakfast first?" Qin Man asked.
Ji Ran made a meal of his hair: "I'll eat after I'm over."
Qin Man nodded: "Then I'm going to wash up. If you're ready, you can wait for me in the car first."
Ji Ran asked: "Are you going too? I'm going to talk about work, what are you going to do?"
"Let's not talk about the previous conditions." Qin Man walked into the bathroom, "There is still a work contract between us, so I think I am qualified to be present for work matters, right?"
Ji Ran thought about it, Xu Lin's physique as a Tang monk, he probably wouldn't hear anything when he went there, and taking Qin Man to him might still be used as a memo.
"As you like." He changed his clothes and walked out of the house, "You move quickly."
Ji Ran entered the garage and was about to get in the car when he suddenly remembered something.
He turned around, walked a few steps to the trash can, and squatted down suddenly.
There was only a black plastic bag with a bottom in the trash can, nothing else, not even the ash. ? !
Should not be ah.
He searched by the trash can for a long time, and his brows were twisted into a knot. He squatted and thought for a while, and was about to look for it again, when he heard footsteps coming from outside.
He was shocked, stood up quickly, and quickly wiped the dust off his body.
Qin Man walked into the garage, saw him standing near the corner, and raised his brows: "Why are you still standing here?"
"Nothing." Ji Ran walked towards the car.
Qin Man looked around: "Are you looking for something?"
"No, check if Auntie's cleaning work is in place." Ji Ran started the car, "Can you get in the car?"
Xu Lin was a little surprised when he saw Qin Man, but he quickly retracted the emotion on his face and extended his hand to Qin Man kindly: "Hello Mr. Qin, I have long admired your name."
"Hello." Qin Man shook his hand back, "I often hear about you too."
Large-scale commercial blowing scene.
Ji Ran's legs were raised, and he was very tired of hearing it. Using his mobile phone, he sent a WeChat message to Aunt Cleaning, asking if she had been to the house in the past two days.
"I thought I had to wait until I joined the company before I could see you." Xu Lindao, "Actually, I have a lot of work-related matters that I want to ask you for advice, and now I finally have the opportunity."
"How come." Qin Man smiled, "I live in Ji Ran's house now. If you have any questions, just let him tell you."
"Can't you just change your contact information? Send me a message, can you afford the money?" Ji Ran didn't lift his head.
Xu Lin was taken aback for a moment, he felt that the content of the conversation just now contained a little too much information.
Half a month ago, Ji Wei lost his temper in front of him more than once because of the relationship between Qin Man and Ji Ran, and asked him to check the past of these two people.
He checked it, it was clean, and there was no other intersection except the same school.
Qin Man didn't care at all, he took out his mobile phone: "Then why don't we change the contact method?"
Xu Lin snapped back to his senses and hurriedly took out his mobile phone: "Okay."
Ji Ran felt that he really had foresight. Xu Lin prepared twice as much information today as yesterday. Qin Man occasionally flipped through the documents, occasionally raised his head to ask questions, and chatted until noon.
Ji Ran sat impatiently, and the content of the conversation was all that he could not understand. He was about to interrupt them when the phone vibrated violently.
A message from an unfamiliar number.
"Ji Ran, are you deliberately messing with me?"
Ji Ran frowned and replied who are you.
After a few seconds, the opposite party immediately replied—
"Gu Zhe."
Qin Man just wanted to ask if the people around him were hungry, when he saw Ji Ranteng stand up, turn around and leave with his phone in his hand.
He raised his eyes: "Where are you going?"
Ji Ran didn't reply: "toilet."
