Chapter 52 Chapter 52 Chi Zhu, about Dr. Ji…

The holiday passed quickly, and after Lu Lijuan and Chi Yuanfan went back, Chi Ke became busy with work again.

A few days later, he took time to visit Su Jinmian in the hospital.

Of course, it wasn’t just for a visit, it was mainly to discuss her engagement dress in person.

Ever since Leng Yunting found out that his special assistant was in charge of his eldest brother's engagement party, he had been in a unilateral cold war with Chi Ke for several days. When he heard that Chi Ke was going to the hospital to see Su Jinmian, he blocked him at the door of his office after get off work and threatened him.

"You know what to say and what not to say, right?"

A hint of pity for the mentally retarded person flashed across Chi Ke's eyes.

The elder brother who knows you inside and out is your fiancé. Once the couple closes the door, they should have said everything they should and shouldn’t have said.

"I know." Chi Ke was too lazy to argue.

"That's good." Leng Yunting, with dark circles under his eyes, took out a Cartier box from the desk drawer. "I have to catch a plane later and won't be able to go there in time. Please give this to her for me."

Chi Ke took it unexpectedly.

The old man had assigned a lot of work to Leng Yunting recently. This young master, who was used to a comfortable life, was so busy for the first time that he had no time to care about love affairs and didn't even have time to coax Xu Lemian.

The necklace was not found that night, and Xu Lemian ignored him after returning home, and the two have been in a stalemate ever since.

Chi Ke knew that Leng Yunting had been looking at jewelry these days and thought that he was going to coax Xu Lemian. He also expressed his feelings to Ji Qian that this man finally realized that he had to do it personally to pursue someone. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be a consolation gift for Su Jinmian.

It's outrageous, but it seems reasonable when it happens to Leng Yunting.

"Don't say it was from me." Leng Yunting looked like a romantic, "Of course, you can't say it was from you either."

Chi Ke: “.”

So I picked it up?

…

"Who gave this to you?" Su Jinmian was lying on the hospital bed. She looked a little thinner than the last time they met, but she was in good spirits and had a rosy complexion. "Don't tell me you picked it up."

Chi Ke spread his hands: "Anyway, I didn't buy it."

Su Jinmian said "ah" and didn't ask any more questions. She put the gift box on the bedside table without even looking at it and said impatiently, "It's so troublesome."

That's the good thing about talking to smart people, they can know when to stop and still understand what you mean.

Chi Ke said: "I can help you pay it back directly."

"It's okay. Don't bother you. I don't want to owe you a favor." Su Jinmian knew that this person was as cunning as a lotus root and was afraid of owing a debt. "I'll give it directly to his brother and let him take care of it."

Speaking of Leng Baiyao, Chi Ke remembered Leng Baiyao who was drinking alone in Ji Qian's office yesterday, and asked curiously: "Did you have a fight these two days?"

"What are you arguing about? He is the one who is being unreasonable." Su Jinmian lay down on the pillow and closed his eyes to rest. "He is just a big god."

"What do you mean?" Chi Ke moved a chair and sat down.

Leng Baiyao doesn't like to talk when he drinks. Yesterday he was so drunk that he couldn't even stand up straight, but he refused to say why he got drunk.

Chi Ke was not very curious and did not react much, but Ji Qian, who could not get any melon, was very anxious.

"When did you become curious about these gossips?" Su Jinmian laughed evilly, "Oh, are you asking for others?"

Chi Ke didn't answer directly: "Would you like some water?"

"A cup of warm water, half hot and half cold, just the right temperature, a little hot but not scalding." Su Jinmian laughed after she finished speaking, just like the evil party A who requested colorful black, "Thank you, Mr. Chi."

Chi Ke didn't complain. He took the water based on his feeling, poured some on the back of his hand to test the temperature, and handed it to the patient after confirming that there was no problem. "Why is Mr. Leng making a fuss?"

Su Jinmian watched him operate the whole process. Before she could feel touched by his attentiveness, she heard this question and couldn't help but twitch her lips.

Well, this cup of just the right amount of hot water does not have the humanistic care of a gentleman for a patient, but only the partiality of a tyrant towards his evil concubine who is causing trouble for the country.

She knew when to stop and gulped down half a cup, then said slowly, "Leng Baiyao is really sick. He wants to airlift my appendix to Ireland for burial, saying that if I am buried with him, it will save money on a piece of land."

Chi Ke: “.”

Chi Ke was not surprised at all: "Did he succeed?"

"How could it possibly succeed? There's no way I can agree to this, it's ridiculous." Su Jinmian frowned, "What were you thinking? Burying the appendix in Ireland?"

Chi Ke: “I don’t care either…”

Su Jinmian said: "My appendix is still a part of me even if it dies, so I won't let it be so far away from me forever! And why should my appendix be buried with his? Just to save money? It's so funny, I will never accept it. My appendix totally deserves to rest in peace in a big house with three bedrooms and a living room."

Chi Ke pressed the tip of his tongue against the roof of his mouth and swallowed back the unfinished words.

...Is there no normal person around him?

Su Jinmian: "Boss Chi, don't you think so? Am I wrong to reject him?"

"He is indeed being unreasonable." Chi Ke didn't want to continue this inhuman topic, so he opened the first color design of the dress and said, "Let's take a look at this first. They will start production today."

Su Jinmian's attention was drawn to the design draft. She temporarily put aside the anger caused by her appendix and picked up a pencil to seriously write and draw on the tablet.

Su Jinmian is very knowledgeable about art. He is not just a dabbler, but an expert in it.

She has participated in the design of her friend's market brand clothing, sponsored students with artistic talent but no resources, sang lead in the university orchestra for a period of time, and her dance was recognized by the chief dance teacher...

It is hard to imagine how many talents she has. If you only take a glimpse of her, it is easy for her to become the "white moonlight" in other people's hearts.

Seeing Chi Ke lowering his head to play with his phone, Su Jinmian teased, "Why aren't you curious about where I get so much time to learn all this?"

Time is something you can always find if you squeeze it.

As a top scorer who was pursuing a double degree and getting a high GPA while also starting a business, teaching himself languages, and developing skills such as shooting, golf, bowling, cocktail making, and perfume making, Chi Ke had no desire to explore known answers.

You choose your own path, and you know it yourself. So what if you ask and know it?

Su Jinmian doesn't need other people's pity or surprise.

"I can't learn it even if I ask. I just know that President Su is very capable." Chi Ke smiled politely, "But you still have to take care of your health... By the way, next time you need medical treatment, you can choose our hospital. It's a good thing."

Su Jinmian held her stomach and laughed, "Boss Chi, I really like you more and more! Ouch, the wound hurts."

Chi Ke put down his phone and asked cautiously, "Is it bleeding?"

"No, no, it's not a big problem. I just laughed so hard that I choked. I'll be fine after a while." Su Jinmian waved his hand nonchalantly.

After making sure that she was okay, Chi Ke picked up the phone again.

Compared to the engagement dress and the hospital bed visit, Ji Qian was indeed more interesting to him.

[The Great Gitzby: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Leng Boyao is really crazy. I'm laughing to death! ]

[K: The other one is not much worse. It seems that she just doesn't want to be buried together, but she is still eager to have a funeral. You can ask Leng Baiyao to introduce the funeral team to her. ]

[The Great Gitzby: I was the one who introduced his team! ]

Chi Ke: “.”

I almost forgot, when it comes to mental state, this guy is the best among them.

[The Great Gitzby: The only son of a wealthy family is now rushing out the door to go to the hospital/Husky running wildly.jpg/]

【K: OK, I just got off work. 】

【The Great Gitzby: Going Home?】

【K: Yes.】

Ji Qian likes to chat with people and sends a lot of messages every day. If Chi Ke didn’t know that he was busy as a top at work, he would have mistaken him for an idle vagrant.

He suspected that Ji Qian spent all his time outside of work chatting with him.

However, Chi Ke would not be too lazy to reply just because he sent too many messages. Every minute and every second of a doctor's rest time is squeezed out, and having too many messages does not mean that they are not precious.

So whether it is serious business or nonsense, he will reply immediately if he can. When he cannot reply immediately, he will wait until he has free time and quote the answer sentence by sentence. It is not a large number of words, but every word makes people feel meaningful.

However, Ji Qian is clingy but not obsessive.

He just said that he was on the way back. Ji Qian knew that he was carsick, so he didn't send any more messages.

Chi Ke closed his eyes and felt a headache when he thought about having to go back to eat.

He had a very picky taste, so much so that in his previous life he couldn't even find a nanny who satisfied him.

Too salty, too sweet, too spicy, or too oily is not acceptable. Strong-tasting foods such as onions, ginger, garlic, leeks, coriander, and garlic sprouts are not accepted. Seafood and meat must be fresh and not fishy, but not pickled with strong seasonings. No fat, animal skin, head, tail, or internal organs are eaten. There are only a few green vegetables that can be accepted. Cucumbers and tomatoes are not eaten cooked. No sweet soup or salty soup with eggs...

After picking and choosing, there are only a few takeout places that are edible.

He usually likes high-end Chinese restaurants. They don't have delivery, and he can't eat out every day. The journey and meals take at least two hours, and he doesn't have the leisure time. After finally choosing one, he may fail, which is time-consuming and laborious. He is almost exhausted after a day's work and doesn't want to waste time cooking when he gets home.

For him, eating is truly one of life's unsolvable problems.

Later, he simply refused to eat unless he was extremely hungry. He didn't expect that his stomach would develop such a serious disease, even though it didn't hurt much at the beginning.

Chi Ke had been giving up earlier. He was already sick, so he didn't want to eat any more. At worst, he would die. So he decided not to eat.

After his rebirth and no longer suffering from a fatal heart disease, he began to cherish his life and tried to eat at regular times.

But the most important thing is that I have a friend who is a doctor.

Chi Ke would rather spend more time to get better than be nagged by Ji Qian for ten days or half a month.

Ji Qian was relatively free a few days ago, so I would order food in the office and wait for him to come over after get off work to eat together. Sometimes I would order food specifically and prepare the ingredients and ask the chef to cook it.

But Ji Qian had a dinner party today, so he had to prepare dinner by himself.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.

Chi Ke sighed and planned to go home and make do with some instant noodles without the vegetable packet and with only a quarter of the seasoning.

Anyway, just fill the belly and stomach, no need for any taste enjoyment.

Unexpectedly, when the car stopped at the gate of the community, he saw a familiar red supercar.

Chi Ke walked over in surprise: "Why are you here? Don't you have a dinner party tonight?"

"Yeah, so I can't have dinner with you." Ji Qian got out of the car and handed him a beautifully packaged thermos bag. "The Chinese food you said tasted good has arrived just in time, and it's still piping hot."

Chi Ke raised his eyebrows: "You came here just to deliver food?"

"If I hadn't come, someone would have eaten instant noodles." Ji Qian glanced at his watch and said nothing more, "Okay, I'm leaving. You should get some rest early."

He didn't ask for care or a hug, and left in a hurry. He really just came to deliver a meal.

However, when Chi Ke went upstairs and opened the thermal bag, he saw a blooming rose inside, beautifully wrapped. At the other end of the ribbon was a small velvet box with two exquisite cufflinks inside.

The ribbon was tied into a very standard bow at the end, and you could tell at a glance that it was Dr. Ji’s technique.

He opened the wrapping paper, put the roses with the thorns shaved off the stems into the vase, fiddled with the branches and leaves with his fingers, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He was actually chasing someone.

I thought he was just casually saying something about play.

…

Ji Qian's pursuit was so loud that anyone with a discerning eye could see it, but he cleverly did not cause any trouble to Chi Ke and did not shout so that the whole world must know.

From this incident, we can see which people around us have low IQs.

Ansel realized it after having a meal with the two of them. Afterwards, he sent more than 20 "fuck" messages to Chi Ke in the chat box, questioning him why he didn't say that the Daji was Dean Ji.

Leng Yunting stayed with Chi Ke and Ji Qian every day, and more than a month passed before he said, "Chi Zhu, stay away from Ji Qian."

At that time, Chi Ke was arranging his schedule for next week. Hearing this, he asked in confusion, "Why?"

Leng Yunting lowered his voice and said, "I will only tell you this news, don't go out and spread it."

Chi Ke listened attentively.

Leng Yunting: "Ji Qian doesn't have a good relationship with his brother Ji Song. Ji Song knows about your relationship with him in the hospital. Some time ago when we went out for a drink, he joked that he wanted to take you away from me - of course, don't worry, I won't hand you over to anyone else. But his tone was not very good when he mentioned you, so you should be more careful."

Leng Yunting could hear the "bad tone", so it must be very bad.

Chi Ke looked at him with emotion: "Second Young Master."

Leng Yunting rarely heard this name from him, and asked in surprise: "Why?"

Chi Ke: “You have grown up.”

It is true that adversity is the best way to temper a person. After working day and night for two consecutive months, Leng Yunting has become more cunning.

Leng Yunting: “…”

It sounded strange, and he thought for a moment: "Is it a compliment?"

"Of course." After Chi Ke finished writing the last column of the schedule, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but droop, and he grabbed a handful of hair tiredly.

No wonder Leng Yunting has become more cautious.

The most critical node in the original work, that is, the plot where Xu Lemian discovers that he is a substitute, is about to come.

This is the period of time when both the protagonists experience the greatest changes and the fastest growth, and it is also the most turbulent period, occupying 70% of the book. Everyone will be busy because of these two protagonists.

As for whether the direction of their "growth" is positive, it is hard to say.

Chi Ke sent the schedule over: "Please check it, Mr. Leng. If there is no problem, I will arrange it this way."

"Just do it as you see fit." Leng Yunting wanted to be a hands-off boss, but when he met Chi Ke's cold and murderous eyes, he still accepted the documents reluctantly, "Ah, no problem... Wait, what's going on?"

He widened his eyes in astonishment: "Leng Baiyao's engagement party and the opening ceremony of Xu Lemian's drama are on the same day? They can't be staggered?"

Chi Ke: "The date of the engagement banquet was decided by the chairman, and the opening ceremony was decided by the director and all the investors. It was an auspicious date."

The implication is: it cannot be avoided.

Leng Yunting frowned: "The filming starts at noon, and the engagement party is in the evening...Okay, we should be in time. Go and help me prepare a gift for Xu Lemian. I haven't seen him for a long time, and he should have calmed down. I'll go to the villa tonight."

After the necklace incident, the two fell into a very delicate state. They had a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. The quarreling situation was like an endless cycle under a curse:

[Xu Lemian, are you done yet? ]

[Boss Leng, I...]

[Xu Lemian, what exactly are you dissatisfied with? Tell me! ]

[Boss Leng, I'm fine.]

Then Xu Lemian would be forcefully kissed, and the two would begin to stumble.

A few days later, the same conversation would recur in another form:

[Xu Lemian, I just didn't reply to your message for two days. Why are you so angry? ]

[Mr. Leng, I know you are busy,]

[Xu Lemian, who are you showing your stern face to? ]

[Boss Leng, I don’t have any.]

Then Xu Lemian would be kissed forcibly again and stagger again.

Chi Ke was so tired of watching these two fathers that whenever they started quarreling, he would skillfully take refuge in the kitchen and have a bite of the delicious snacks made by Wang Ma.

Tonight is no exception.

Leng Yunting in the living room was about to howl when Chi Ke turned around and slipped into the kitchen: "Auntie, can you tell me how to make this lemon egg tart?"

It is neither sour nor sweet, melts in your mouth, with only a light lemon fragrance.

"You like it?" Aunt Wang covered her mouth and laughed. "When Doctor Ji came the day before yesterday, he also asked me for the recipe of this egg tart. He said you would definitely like it."

Chi Ke bit the small fork and made a "hmm" sound, then ate a few more bites.

Wang Ma smiled even more brightly: "Xiao Chi, tell me quietly, are you in love with Xiao Ji?"

Chi Ke shook his head: "No."

"Xiao Chi, why are you hiding this from me?" Aunt Wang scolded, "The smile you just had was exactly the same as the one my old man had when he received my love letter!"

Chi Ke: “.”

No.

impossible.

This is absolutely not true.

Chi Ke smoothed the corners of his mouth, calmly finished eating the egg tart and walked out: "Auntie, you are busy, I won't make trouble."

He was extremely afraid of being questioned about his love life, so he rushed out, but was caught by the butler's arm at the corner: "Chi Zhu, about Doctor Ji..."

Chi Ke was about to say "We are really not in love", but the housekeeper said with a complicated look: "I think you need to know something."

Chi Ke shook his head: "Uncle Wu, he will tell me if he has something to say."

He didn't want to hear Ji Qian's little secret from others.

"He may not tell you some things." The housekeeper was inevitably a little anxious, like an old father who was worried about his child, afraid that his child would be deceived by bad people. "I know who Chi Zhu is, and I said a few more words because I understand you. Don't blame me for being nosy. I just think you have the right to know. I don't know the specific situation. I will only tell you what I saw. You can judge the rest by yourself."

After that, I didn't ask for his opinion, and blurted out, "Doctor Ji is a very good person, and I have no prejudice against him. But when I first met Young Master Xu two years ago, he often secretly visited Young Master Xu. One time, I accidentally overheard their conversation during a consultation, and Doctor Ji said that meeting Young Master Xu was the happiest thing for him in those years... Maybe I'm overthinking it, and Doctor Ji might just be saying it casually, and he didn't really mean it."

Chi Ke: “…”

Chi Ke: “?”
