She couldn't believe that she had done so many things and yet remembered none of them.
Seeing her frightened and helpless little face, Mu Li smiled with satisfaction.
Lin Qing was really easy to fool. Last night, she just held his hand tightly when she was drowsy and touched him a few times, but everything that happened afterwards was completely made up by Mu Li.
Considering that she is so well-behaved on weekdays, even if she got confused due to the fever, she would definitely not do anything big.
Afterwards, Mu Li described the situation at that time in an exaggerated way to Lin Qing's astonishment. After Lin Qing heard it, his face turned pale.
Her fever had just subsided, and she was still physically exhausted, mentally exhausted, and unconscious. After hearing what Mu Li said, she felt even more powerless. With a tilt of her body, Lin Qingsong fell softly on the bed.
Mu Li thought she was pretending, so he said earnestly: "Lin Qing, hiding is useless, what did you say just now?"
Lin Qing spoke in a very low voice, leaning on the bedside and turning his head towards Mu Li: "You are a magnanimous person, can you please forgive me this time?"
Mu Li was unexpectedly tolerant and generous: "Okay. But you owe me one thing, understand?"
This transaction went very smoothly.
Lin Qing bit her lip, always feeling cheated.
Very unhappy.
Although they made a promise, they never had the chance to fulfill it.
Many years later, when Lin Qing recalled it again, he only vaguely remembered the few words the two had said at that time. He had no memory of what had happened at the time or why they had made this agreement.
"Lin Qing, help answer the phone!"
When she arrived in the morning, the office was bustling with activity. Before Lin Qing even sat down in her seat, she heard someone calling her name.
When she looked up, she saw that it was Lu Xiao who was standing next to the intercom calling her.
There was a microphone next to Lu Xiao's ear and another one in his hand, probably because he had just picked up the phone.
Seeing that she was too busy to handle everything, Lin Qing put down the information he had just received and went over to help.
The company, which usually runs smoothly, was as busy as a vegetable market early in the morning. This was the first time Lin Qing had seen such a thing.
She sighed deeply in her heart.
The person on the other end of the phone said that there was a problem with a client that needed to be resolved urgently. Lin Qing wrote it down on a piece of paper at hand, responded a few times, and then hung up the phone.
When she handed the note to Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao was still playing guerrilla warfare with the difficult company executive on the phone. It might take some time to handle this call.
Lin Qing had no choice but to wink at Lu Xiao and return to his seat.
After a while, the Planning Department sent another stack of information and placed it on Lin Qing's desk with a sense of relief.
"Lin Qing, you must finish these today." After saying this, the man left in a hurry, probably because he had another thing to do.
Lin Qing almost fainted when he saw the table full of documents.
It looks like I have to work overtime today.
When Mu Li received Lin Qing's text message, he was greeting guests at home.
The man was quick to take the phone when Mu Li was not around and checked it. He saw the message saying, "I have to work overtime today, so I won't be able to finish my meal."
After reading the text message, the man shook his head regretfully and put the phone back.
When Mu Li came down from upstairs with the finest tea and was about to give some to the man, he heard another faint sigh behind him: "Alas, someone will have to stay alone in the empty room tonight."
Mu Li turned around and saw Shan Rong sitting beside him with his legs crossed, gloating.
"I heard that this is carefully grown tea, and it is rare to see it on the market." Mu Li played with the exquisite tea tube in his hand and said lightly, "It's a pity that you won't be able to enjoy it."
As he spoke, he replaced the lid on the tea canister and poured a cup of water in front of Shan Rong.
"Drink it. I heard that drinking plain water is good for your physical and mental health." Mu Li said calmly.
Shan Rong glanced at the water in the cup, looking worried: "I just said something casually, you wouldn't be so cruel to me, right?"
Mu Li took a sip of tea: "What do you think?"
Shan Rong pushed the cup away with great disgust.
He never drinks plain water; he always hates tasteless things.
"When did you become so mean?" Shan Rong complained in an extremely unbalanced manner.
Mu Li narrowed his eyes: "Mean?"
Shan Rong said righteously: "Don't you think that you are becoming more and more abnormal?"
Mu Li said calmly: "I don't think so."
The corners of Shan Rong's mouth twitched silently a few times.
"What brings you here in person today?" Mu Li changed the subject very naturally, ignoring Shan Rong's expression.
Shan Rong looked melancholy: "Do you know that my wise father wants me to assist my brother?"
Mu Li took a sip of tea and motioned for him to continue.
"You know, apart from hooking up with a beautiful woman, I don't have any other skills, but he used the study abroad as an excuse to force me to join the company next month." Shan Rong was extremely depressed. "Tell me, what should I do to get out of this?"
This incident really upset Shan Rong, and he had no mood to go to the bar these days.
Obviously, this is a huge matter.
Mu Li thought for a moment after hearing this: "Do you want to solve this matter completely?"
Shan Rong nodded: "Of course I do."
Mu Li said: "In this case—"
Shan Rong listened carefully—"I can't help it."
Mu Li spread his hands, feeling very regretful.
Shan Rong kicked the coffee table: "Hey, you are such a rude person."
Mu Li glanced at him and said, "Be careful. This coffee table was specially made by someone. There is only one in the world. If you break it, you can't afford the compensation."
Shan Rong crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Captain Mu, you have indeed become abnormal recently."
"Really?" Mu Li didn't care.
At this point, Shan Rong thought of someone and blurted out: "When I saw you with that person before, there was no change. Now my sister-in-law Qingqing is really amazing."
When talking about Lin Qing, Shan Rong did not realize that he was calling her in an intimate way, he just thought that the name sounded nice.
Mu Li frowned and said, "Don't call her that again in the future."
Shan Rong shrugged and said ok.
However, they had no more topics to talk about the other person that Shan Rong mentioned at the same time.
At this moment, Shan Rong suddenly remembered that Lin Qing had just sent him a text message, so he reminded him, "Sister-in-law just sent me a text message saying that she would probably be back very late, so you don't have to wait."
Mu Li's eyes darkened: "Oh? That's perfect, I have something else to do later."
Shan Rong took in all the ups and downs in his eyes.
"After all, what do you think of your sister-in-law?" Shan Rong asked deliberately.
Mu Li took a sip of tea and said, "Use your brain to think about it."
Shan Rong was almost choked by the air he inhaled.
As expected, Lin Qing worked overtime until very late. After finishing her work, she waited for Lu Xiao for a while. It was already half past nine when she left the company.
"Huh!" Walking out of the first floor lobby, Lu Xiao let out a refreshing sigh, sweeping away the busyness of the whole day.
Lin Qing walked aside and did not react.
They had missed dinner due to overtime work, and their stomachs started to growl after taking a few breaths of fresh air.
Lu Xiao touched his hungry stomach and turned to ask Lin Qing: "Are you hungry?"
Lin Qing hummed. After being reminded like this, he felt even hungrier.
Lu Xiao dragged Lin Qing forward briskly: "Come on, I'll take you to eat pork chop noodles."
Lin Qing nodded, deeply moved.
Lin Qing had been to this restaurant before. It was rare that she had also been to a restaurant recommended by Lu Xiao.
The two were enjoying their meal when Lin Qing's phone rang. Lu Xiao looked at him gossipingly, "Oh, it's been such a short time since we last met that some people are already getting anxious?"
Lin Qing quickly waved her hand to tell her not to talk nonsense, but her face couldn't help but turn slightly red.
However, when she lowered her head and took out her cell phone, she found that the caller ID showed another person's name.
Chen Qudong called and the first thing he asked was, "Are you free tomorrow? Come have dinner with me."
"Huh?" Lin Qing was a little surprised.
Chen Qudong smiled on the other end of the phone: "Long time no see, is it okay for us to have a meal together?"
Although this reason makes sense, Lin Qing still feels it is unusual.
"Senior..." She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Do you need me for something?"
Chen Qudong pretended to be angry: "Do I have to have something to do before I can have dinner with you?"
Lin Qing thought about it and realized that this was the truth.
So he agreed to it as if it were a normal thing and agreed on the time and place with Chen Qudong.
"Tomorrow night at 6:30, Quanshun Hotel." Lin Qing repeated it and wrote it down on the calendar in his phone.
Lu Xiao, who was eating noodles and listening to the call, pointed to the phone in Lin Qing's hand and said, "Who is it? Want to treat you to a meal?"
"Yes, it's a senior." Lin Qing put away his phone and picked up the chopsticks while speaking.
For some reason, when talking to Chen Qudong again, Lin Qing no longer felt the same excitement as before. Even the feeling of heartbeat disappeared.
Maybe it was because they hadn't met, or maybe it was because she was so hungry that all her energy was focused on her face.
As Lin Qing thought about this, another answer came to his mind.
She thought of another person, and realized that for a moment she hoped the person who called her was him.
Mu Li, what is he doing now
Lu Xiao, with his sharp eyes, saw through Lin Qing's thoughts in a second. He put the noodles he had raised to his lips down again, with a sly smile on his face: "Hey, are you disappointed because the person who called was not Mu Li?"
Lin Qing picked up a few noodles and said absentmindedly: "Well, a little disappointed."
Lu Xiao's movements suddenly stopped. She always felt that Lin Qing didn't have many feelings for Mu Li, because when they chatted, Lin Qing never took the initiative to mention Mu Li, nor did she exude the aura of love like someone in love.
But at this moment...
"You, really love Mu Li?" Lu Xiao asked with some surprise.
Hearing this, Lin Qing froze.
She couldn't answer this question.
However, Lu Xiao had already drawn the conclusion from Lin Qing's reaction—Lin Qing really loved Mu Li.
Lu Xiaokuan comforted herself, that was good, this way she wouldn't feel unbalanced anymore.
Before going home after dinner, Lin Qing called home.
The phone kept beeping and no one answered.
Lin Qing's heart seemed to be falling, and she didn't call home again until she got off the bus.
Seeing that it was still early, Lin Qing got off the bus one stop earlier and went to a nearby supermarket for a look. When he returned home, he had a half-sized shopping bag in his hand, which contained several boxes of snacks and five or six lemons.
The refrigerator at home is still full, but the can of lemon tea that I made a while ago is much emptier.
Lin Qing opened the door and the room was pitch dark.
"Mu Li?" She called Mu Li's name out of habit.
Before she finished her words, she curled the corners of her mouth in self-mockery, took a deep breath, and went to look for the switch on the wall.
