It was only six o'clock in the morning when Qiu Yanzhi got home.
He just stretched out his hand to enter the password, but before he finished, the door opened from the inside.
He Zhou was neatly dressed in the door, as if he was waiting for him.
The moment Qiu Yanzhi saw He Zhou, he let go of the suitcase in his hand and threw his arms into He Zhou's arms.
He Zhou also reached out to hug him, lowered his head and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
Qiu Yanzhi shook his head subconsciously, but after shaking it twice, he nodded again.
He Zhou said, "Are you going to sleep?"
"Yes." Qiu Yanzhi buried his head and rubbed against He Zhou's chest, and said hoarsely, "I never fell asleep on the plane."
He Zhou wrapped Qiu Yanzhi with one hand, brought the suitcase outside the door with the other, and closed the door.
Then he took Qiu Yanzhi to the bedroom, Qiu Yanzhi looked at the soft bed, felt sleepy immediately surge up, took off his coat and lay in.
Seeing that the room was too bright, He Zhou walked to the window and closed the thick curtains.
Just as he was about to leave, Qiu Yanzhi grabbed his hand: "He Zhou, can you sleep with me?"
He Zhou looked at Qiu Yanzhi's tired and pale face, said ok softly, and lay down on Qiu Yanzhi's quilt.
Qiu Yanzhi finally closed his eyes with some peace of mind, buried his head in He Zhou's chest, and fell asleep.
He Zhou felt that he was deliberately avoiding talking about Qin He.
He Zhou knew that Qiu Yanzhi and Qin He had quarreled, but he did not ask why they quarreled.
But in fact, based on what I heard during the video call with Qiu Yanzhi, it is not difficult to guess that Qiu Yanzhi and Qin He quarreled, and they must have something to do with him.
He thought quietly:
Perhaps it was the existence of his own substitute that made Qin He mind.
He Zhou looked at Qiu Yanzhi quietly, then slowly stretched out his hand and pushed away the broken hair on his forehead.
He Zhou's fingertips ran down Qiu Yanzhi's forehead, and then stopped on his cheek.
He stretched out his hand and squeezed Qiu Yanzhi's cheek as if venting his anger.
But the strength is still very light.
It was afternoon when Qiu Yanzhi woke up.
When I touched my stomach, I was already hungry.
Qiu Yanzhi walked out of the bedroom and saw that He Zhou was cooking.
"I have to try to learn." He Zhou said with the spatula.
Qiu Yanzhi glanced at what was obviously charred in the pot, and was silent: "...Then how are you studying?"
He Zhou silently turned off the fire, then dumped the contents of the pot into the trash: "Qiu Yanzhi, let's go out to eat."
Qiu Yanzhi leaned against the door frame, holding his chest with both hands: "Are you rich?"
He Zhou: "Check your account details."
Qiu Yanzhi glanced at him suspiciously, then took out his mobile phone to check his account details.
Seeing the figures above, Qiu Yanzhi was stunned for a moment: "He Zhou, what's going on?"
"You forgot? I've been investing in stocks." He Zhou smiled, "Is the money enough to invite you to dinner?"
"Enough." Qiu Yanzhi blinked.
Since he brought He Zhou to his home, Qiu Yanzhi has shared the e-banking with him. Qiu Yanzhi never thought that He Zhou could earn money even while sitting at home.
Sure enough, the company bosses in the game did not collapse.
Qiu Yanzhi quickly packed up and led He Zhou out the door together.
"What do you want to eat?" He Zhou asked.
Qiu Yanzhi thought about it for a while, and said, "I'm going to eat prawns, the luxurious set meal of 598."
He Zhou rolled his eyes and smiled: "Okay."
Qiu Yanzhi was a little tired from eating, so he slowly took He Zhou's hand for a walk on the road.
As he was walking, Qiu Yanzhi saw the police station next to him.
Qiu Yanzhi suddenly remembered that he had said that when He Zhou's legs were healed, he would go to the police station to apply for an ID card for him.
He took a step.
He Zhou also stopped his neck and turned to look: "What's wrong?"
Qiu Yanzhi pursed his lips, and said dully, "He Zhou, I don't seem to be able to apply for an ID card for you."
He Zhou's face looks exactly like Qin He.
Moreover, Qin He already knew about the existence of He Zhou.
He Zhou also seemed to realize this, he held Qiu Yanzhi's hand tighter and said, "It's okay."
Qiu Yanzhi lowered his head, a little gloomy.
At this moment, a very weak cry came from the grass.
Qiu Yanzhi turned his head to look subconsciously, and found that there were still bloodstains on the floor tiles.
Qiu Yanzhi and He Zhou went to the grass to check, and found a kitten with an injured hind leg.
It was a docile-looking little earth cat, dragging a wounded leg, nesting in the grass, barking weakly, and looking like it was about to die.
He Zhou hurriedly walked over and picked up the kitten.
Qiu Yanzhi frowned, lowered his head and called Lin Kangning.
There is a stray animal relief station nearby, which also has a relatively complete medical care system. When Lin Kangning is not working, he often goes there as a volunteer.
Lin Kangning quickly answered the phone and told them the specific address of the relief station.
The relief station is really close, only 500 meters away from here.
He Zhou carefully hugged the cat in his arms and followed Qiu Yanzhi forward.
The scale of the relief station is smaller than expected, but the doctor is still very serious and responsible.
Especially Lin Kangning and Qiu Yanzhi called in advance.
Once at the relief station, the kitten was taken to the operating room.
Qiu Yanzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the doctor skillfully treat the kitten's wound.
Just then, his cell phone rang suddenly.
Qiu Yanzhi glanced at the kitten on the operating table, walked out of the operating room, and answered the phone in the corridor.
The caller was Qin He's secretary: "Mr. Qiu, I called you yesterday. Why does your phone always show the off state?"
Qiu Yanzhi said, "I was on the plane at the time."
The secretary was a little surprised: "Have you returned to China?"
Qiu Yanzhi: "Yes."
Secretary: "Mr. Qiu, the work is not finished yet, how can you leave without authorization, do you know that your actions are very irresponsible?"
The secretary took a deep breath and seemed to want to keep his tone gentle and calm: "Do you have to go back because of some special circumstances?"
"I'm sorry." Qiu Yanzhi said, "It's my personal reason. It's inconvenient to disclose. The remuneration you gave will be refunded, including airfare and hotel fees. I will refund it to your account."
"Okay." The secretary said, "No matter what the reason is, you have to go back to the country impulsively, but I hope you will be responsible for your work in the future and don't be so impulsive."
Qiu Yanzhi was silent for a while, then asked, "Is your company's acquisition project going well this time?"
Secretary: "Mr. Qiu is not worried about this. We found a suitable translator locally. The acquisition project went very smoothly. Not only that, the other company also agreed to the other request made by Mr. He. The technical members of those core projects will be available today. Come back to China with us, and President He will let them clean up the game data that needs to be cleaned up within a week. If Mr. Qiu is free to care about the progress of our company's projects, it is better to improve his professionalism first."
After speaking, the secretary hung up the phone.
Qin He will let them clean up the game data within a week.
Qiu Yanzhi held the phone tightly in his palm.
… he has to do something.
Qiu Yanzhi's teeth gnawed at the tender flesh inside his lips unconsciously, with such force that he seemed to tear it apart.
When Qiu Yanzhi returned to the operating room, the cat's operation had been successful.
It was nestled in a small mass on the operating table, the wound on its hind leg was well bandaged, its eyes were tightly closed, and it was already asleep.
Lin Kangning explained: "I just used a small amount of anesthesia on it, and it is estimated that it will wake up in a while."
Qiu Yanzhi nodded.
Lin Kangning and the doctor went out to wash their hands first.
He Zhou stood aside and patted the kitten's head very gently.
"Do you like it?" Qiu Yanzhi said, "This should be a stray cat without an owner. It can be left directly at this stray animal rescue center, or we can take him home to raise."
He Zhou was silent for a while, stretched out his hand and pinched the kitten's ear again, and said, "Just stay here."
After Qiu Yanzhi and He Zhou left, Lin Kangning and another doctor cleaned things in the operating room together.
"Corning, did you see the anesthetic I put here?"
"No, what's wrong?"
"Strange, I clearly remember that I put it here... Alas, I'm getting old and my brain is confused..."
Qiu Yanzhi and He Zhou went to the emergency station together to look at the kitten the next day.
The kitten recovered a little, but still looked very docile.
It seemed to remember He Zhou. When He Zhou reached out and stroked it, the kitten stuck out its tongue and licked He Zhou's fingers.
"It doesn't have a name yet." Lin Kangning took the cat food and walked over with a smile, "There are too many small animals here, and we can't get them. Would you like to give it a name?"
He Zhou took the cat food from Lin Kangning's hand, grabbed a handful and put it in the palm of his hand, feeding it to the kitten.
The kitten bowed its head obediently, and licked the cat food in He Zhou's hand one after another.
Seeing that He Zhou liked it very much, Qiu Yanzhi asked, "He Zhou, what do you think his name is?"
He Zhou's other hand touched the kitten's fur again, and then said, "Call Jiujiu."
"Forever?" Qiu Yanzhi thought for a while, then said, "It sounds pretty good."
When Qiu left, Qiu Yanzhi asked He Zhou again if he wanted to bring Jiu Jiu home to raise him.
He Zhou refused again.
"Why?" Qiu Yanzhi didn't quite understand, "Don't you like it very much?"
He Zhou lowered his eyelids, washed his hands under the faucet, then picked up a tissue and wiped it: "I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it for too long."
He Zhou's voice was too low, and Qiu Yanzhi couldn't hear it clearly. He only heard a vague sentence about not being well raised or something. He was about to speak when he was interrupted: "Where do you want to eat today?"
Qiu Yanzhi and He Zhou went to the study after returning home.
"He Zhou, you should rest first. I'll go to rest when I finish my work."
"Don't stay up too late." He Zhou said.
Qiu Yanzhi said with a smile, "Well, I know, I will finish it as soon as possible."
After Qiu Yanzhi entered the study, he closed the door, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
He took out his cell phone.
To text messages sent on a number.
"Qin He, can we meet?"
As if deliberately trying to wear down his patience, the person over there took five minutes before returning the message sloppily.
"Figured out?"
Qiu Yanzhi: "I figured it out."
After setting the time and place, an ambiguous voice came from there.
Qiu Yanzhi lowered the volume, turned it on and listened, then lowered his eyelids and pressed the voice button.
Qiu Yanzhi was expressionless, but his tone was gentle and meticulous.
"I will."
After finishing contact with Qin He.
Qiu Yanzhi opened the drawer on the table and took out something from the password box inside.
is an anesthetic.
Qiu Yanzhi couldn't buy this kind of thing through normal means.
So when he saw this anesthetic in the operating room of the relief station yesterday, he moved in his heart and secretly took it away.
Qiu Yanzhi looked up this anesthetic on the Internet. Although it is used for animals, it is also effective for humans.
It can be injected or taken.
After taking it, you will fall into a coma within three minutes.
A full tube of dose is enough to knock an adult man into a coma for half an hour.
Qiu Yanzhi looked at the anesthetic for a while, then carefully put it back into the box.
Then he turned on the tablet and looked at the surveillance cameras he had installed in his newly rented house.
Good, no problem.
Installed with infrared monitors, you can see everything clearly even at night.
Qiu Yanzhi touched his pocket and took out a small key from the pocket.
Then he opened another drawer and tried the handcuffs inside.
Unlocking is smooth and sturdy.
After Qiu Yanzhi checked everything, he locked everything in a box again.
Then he turned off the light, turned and walked out.
