Chapter 71 The person I met was no longer Wen Li

The watch Ji Yuqiao gave was too expensive. When Wen Li saw it, she felt that she could not afford the cheap gift in her pocket.

After having dinner with Xiao Yu, she left in a hurry.

Wen Li originally wanted to throw away the gift box, but when she saw the expectant look in Ji Zeqiu's eyes, she felt guilty for a moment, and when she came to her senses, she had already given the gift box to him.

Ji Zeqiu couldn't wait to open it, and inside lay a pair of silver cufflinks.

After Xiao Yu started working in the studio, he often wore suits, so Wen Li thought of buying him a pair of cufflinks.

Although it is not valuable, the shape is exquisite and beautiful.

"It's really beautiful. I like it very much." Ji Zeqiu's eyes were full of energy. He reached out and hugged Wen Li in his arms. "Thank you for your gift."

Wen Li's eyes flickered, "I... I don't have much money, I can't afford an expensive gift..."

"As long as it's a gift from you, I like it no matter what it is." Ji Zeqiu couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Hearing his words, Wen Li was dazed for a moment.

It seems that this is indeed the case...

She and Ji Zeqiu have known each other for many years. In the past, on his birthday, she would occasionally give him some handmade gifts, but no matter what they were, he would be very happy after receiving them.

"As long as you like it." Wen Li raised her red lips, finally showing her first smile of the day, and forgot something, "Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

After Wen Li returned to her room, Ji Zeqiu was still holding the pair of cufflinks in his hands, ecstatically examining them as if they were treasures.

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and the smile on his face froze.

Two letters are engraved on the back of the small cufflinks.

X, Y.

Xiao Yu.

Ji Zeqiu silently recited the name, and the happy expression on his face slowly faded. His mood suddenly fell to the bottom, and the uncomfortable emotions surged like a tide, drowning him.

How excited he was the last second, how sad he felt now.

"Ze Qiu, my toothbrush accidentally fell into the toilet. Do you have a new one?" Wen Li came out of the bathroom with a look of annoyance on her face.

"besides."

Ji Zeqiu concealed the sad look on his face so that she wouldn't notice anything. His face returned to normal and he turned around to get her a new toothbrush.

——

Perhaps because of the fans' calls, Ji Zeqiu's work intensity has decreased in recent days and he has gradually gained more holidays.

In the past, Ji Zeqiu would have rushed home impatiently.

However, two days into the holiday, he was still staying at Shen Qingtang's house, unwilling to go back.

He was afraid that as soon as he saw Wen Li, he would remember the gift that was given to him.

Shen Qingtang happened to be living in the crew during this period, which made it convenient for him to be alone.

The sun rose, and the orange-yellow sunlight illuminated every place, but in a small apartment, thick curtains were drawn to block the sunlight outside.

The room was as dark as night.

Ji Zeqiu lay in bed, unable to tell the difference between day and night. It was not the alarm clock that woke him up, but the violent cramps in his stomach.

He groaned, woke up from his dream, and tightly grasped the painful part of his stomach.

The muscles in his stomach kept twitching, as if someone was stirring up his stomach with a dagger. The pain was so severe that cold sweats broke out all over his body, and even the entire bed was slippery.

Ji Zeqiu's vision was dim and blurry. He clenched his teeth and forced himself to use the last bit of consciousness to call his agent.

His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, "Brother Zhao, I'm at Shen Qingtang's house, send me off..."

Before he could finish his words, his consciousness fell into darkness.

When he woke up again, Ji Zeqiu was already in the hospital.

He hadn't seen sunlight for a long time. At this moment, the dazzling light shone through the hospital window, illuminating the ward so brightly that it made his eyes sore.

The pain in his stomach had long since stopped, and the color on his face had returned a little, making him look less scary at least.

The hand placed beside the bed was held by someone, and a warmth spread from his palm to the whole body...

Ji Zeqiu sighed in his heart. It seemed that Brother Zhao was very worried and had been guarding in the ward.

"Brother Zhao, I..." He turned his head and was stunned when he saw the profile that was as soft as a lotus.

The sunlight fell on her cheeks, outlining her beautiful features.

"Hmm?" Lin Xu groaned in a clear voice, slowly opened his eyes, and met Ji Zeqiu's surprised eyes, stunned.

"What's wrong?" Ji Zeqiu was puzzled.

As his voice rang out, Lin Xu's eyes suddenly turned red, and tears welled up in her eye sockets, about to fall, which was heartbreaking to see.

Ji Zeqiu chuckled, "You're crying so hard, could it be that I have some terminal illness?"

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Puh, puh, puh! What nonsense!" Lin Xu's tears were choked back by him, "The doctor just said that you have gastroenteritis, which is probably caused by irregular diet and random eating in the past few days."

When she arrived at Shen Qingtang's house, there were many takeout boxes piled on the table, and he was lying on the bed, his body cold and his face as pale as if he was dead.

She was so scared that her heart almost stopped.

Thinking back on it now, Lin Xu still feels a little scared.

Ji Zeqiu pursed his lips and was about to speak when he saw Lin Xu suddenly pounce on him and hug him tightly.

"Don't put yourself in this situation again. Do you know how scared I am..." Her voice choked.

He looked a little awkward, "I'm fine, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid you'll die..."

Ji Zeqiu suddenly felt the clothes on his shoulders were wet. When he realized something, his body suddenly froze.

A sour and numb feeling surged in his chest, but he also felt warm inside.

When he was sick as a child, his mother was always by his side to take care of him. Later, his mother's figure became blurred in his mind and he could not even imagine her.

After he met Wen Li, the blurry figure was automatically replaced by Wen Li.

Whenever he saw Wen Li, he always felt that his mother had never left him.

But now, the blurry figure turned into Lin Xu again.

I woke up several times and saw only her.

Every time it was just a minor ailment, but this woman always got extremely nervous, and this time she even cried.

It was the first time that Ji Zeqiu felt such direct worry. He didn't know how to respond and stammered, "I, I'm fine, don't cry."

"Don't go out alone and don't come back, making me worry." A sad and dull voice came from my shoulder.

"Okay." Ji Zeqiu agreed awkwardly.

After a long while, Lin Xu stopped crying and came out of his arms.

She wiped away her tears and said fiercely, "Don't tell anyone that I cried!"

Ji Zeqiu turned his head away unnaturally, "I'm too lazy to talk."

"Okay, I'll call the doctor to come and check you out." Lin Xu just remembered this.

She turned around and was about to leave when her wrist was suddenly grabbed.

Ji Zeqiu's cheeks flushed slightly, "Can you please not leave yet..."
