Chapter 136 The face is dirty
Xuanzhe naturally didn't get to see the newcomer he had imagined. After some questioning, he learned that Cao Nanyu was depressed. He was stunned for a moment, then he laughed.
"Assistant Cao, you're really going backwards." Xuanzhe leaned back in his chair, his eyes sharp and smiling. "Some guard the borders, some enter the business world, some help the world, and some love themselves. How can they be perfect? So what if they stink of money? Have I ever paid less than a penny of the tax I'm supposed to pay every year? Stop worrying about those trivial things."
As expected of Mr. Xuan, Cao Nanyu scratched his head a bit embarrassedly, then listened to Xuan Zhe say, "I know you've been under a lot of pressure lately, and your emotions may be unstable. It's normal for you to feel disgusted with your current environment. You don't have to work overtime this weekend, you can have a day off."
Cao Nanyu was stunned: "Then the company's business..."
"I'm here." Xuanzhe continued.
Assistant Cao was immediately filled with gratitude: "Boss Xuan, I will serve you for the rest of my life!"
Xuanzhe: "..." He had some self-doubt, wondering if he was too harsh on Cao Nanyu in normal times, which was why she was so happy during the two-day holiday.
I can only say that Mr. Xuan is sometimes quite clueless.
Cao Nanyu had originally planned to sleep soundly in bed, feeling so sleepy that even the sky would fall and nothing would matter to him. But when he opened his eyes the next morning and grabbed his phone to check, he was immediately filled with annoyance. It was only 7:30 in the morning.
After tossing and turning for several times, Cao Nanyu still couldn't fall asleep. He accepted his fate. Alas, he was born to work hard.
Cao Nanyu got up and made some coffee before washing up. He felt refreshed after drinking a handful of cold water. He walked to the cloakroom and didn't even look at the rows of suits. Instead, he took out a set of casual clothes from another cabinet that was rarely used. He wore jeans and a white T-shirt. Since the weather was a little cloudy today, he added a thin khaki windbreaker.
After finishing his breakfast with coffee, Cao Nanyu was very energetic. Only when he relaxed did he realize how annoying work was. He turned off his commonly used mobile phone, took out another one, and went out for a walk.
Cao Nanyu searched for a long time in the car, and quickly scanned the tourist attractions within a radius of 100 miles with his home as the center. He suddenly felt bored and something was missing. The friends he knew were all in the drinking and meat occasions. He did have close friends, but they were not here. It was boring to go to places like parks and amusement parks alone. It turned out that once he had leisure time, the life of a normal person became the one that was difficult to adapt to.
Cao Nanyu's enthusiasm was extinguished by the cold water. He searched the map boredly. Suddenly, an entry flashed by. He was distracted and immediately turned back to zoom in. There were five words: Xingxing Welfare Home.
It's close to the suburbs and takes about an hour and a half to drive from here.
Why waste time going there? Cao Nanyu thought so, but he stepped on the accelerator and turned on the navigation.
It happened to be Saturday, and there were a lot of people out for fun. The traffic jam on the inner third ring road was unbearable to watch. Cao Nanyu got angry while driving. Is he crazy?
But once the road was clear, no one had any intention of turning back.
Fortunately, there was no traffic jam afterwards. After driving for about forty minutes, Cao Nanyu came to a winding mountain road and saw the sign of "Xingxing Welfare Home" at the door. It was a very old one hanging on the gate with badly peeling paint. As soon as he lowered the car window, he heard the sound of children playing. It had rained last night in this area and the air was particularly fresh.
Cao Nanyu sniffed it hard and liked it quite a bit. He turned off the engine and got out of the car. He leaned against the door, lit a cigarette, and looked in the direction of the welfare home.
"Why are you here?" The sudden male voice almost gave Cao Nanyu a heart attack. His hand shook and the cigarette ash fell on his fingers, burning them. Cao Nanyu hurriedly slapped it off. The voice sounded very familiar. He looked up and saw Qu Tian wearing a dark blue short-sleeved shirt and gray shorts, standing on the grass three meters away. The man was shoeless and holding a small red bucket with gravel on the bottom. Two or three fish were swimming pitifully in the water, obviously just caught from a nearby stream.
Qu Tian was holding the hand of a little girl who looked about three or four years old, and two slightly older boys followed behind him, all looking at him with curiosity.
"I," Cao Nanyu struggled to find an excuse, but her tone was calm. "I was walking around here and happened to pass by. Doctor Qu mentioned this orphanage before, and I wanted to come and take a look out of curiosity."
Qu Tian nodded, not knowing whether he believed it or not. He handed the bucket to Cao Nanyu and said, "Help me carry it."
There was still mud on it, and Cao Nanyu was a bit of a germaphobe and was not very willing to do it.
Qu Tian said: "She peed, or you can help her change her diaper."
Upon hearing this, Cao Nanyu took it quickly.
Qu Tian picked up the little girl and walked into the welfare home, followed closely by the other children. Assistant Cao stood there with the bucket in his hand, then stared at the half-dead fish for two seconds, sighed helplessly, locked the car, and followed him in.
The welfare home is indeed shabby, but very warm. The yard is full of lush flowers and plants, and it is obvious that it has been carefully cared for. The children play on the slide in an orderly manner and there are very few conflicts. It is said that children are the most innocent, and Cao Nanyu really sees a kind of healing in them.
When he finished observing and walked into Qu Tian's room, the little girl named Diandian had been cleaned up and was licking a lollipop obediently.
Qu Tian spoke very little. He thanked Cao Nanyu, took the bucket, and poured the fish into a fish tank. The two children immediately came over and watched eagerly.
Cao Nanyu couldn't help but say: "Can't you catch me and see that one of the fish has its scales shaved off?"
Upon hearing this, Qu Tian looked at Cao Nanyu. Although his face was expressionless, he showed a hint of dissatisfaction: "Why, you can..."
Cao Nanyu nodded: "Yes!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two children who had been lying on the fish tank rushed over, hugging Cao Nanyu's thighs on both sides, as if to make sure he was not a bad person. They acted very friendly and said, "Brother, take us fishing. Brother Tian is so stupid."
Assistant Cao clearly saw Qu Tian's face darken instantly.
He was inexplicably happy and in a good mood: "Come on, come on, I'll take you guys to take off."
Qu Tian handed the fishing net and bucket to Cao Nanyu, wanting to see if he could bring back a fish.
That's awesome.
In the words of Quanyi, Assistant Cao is proficient in everything except giving birth. In the first two years after joining the company, some people saw Cao Nanyu knitting a scarf for himself. The arrangement of the fabric and the stitching were so good that he would be the embroiderer's own son.
Less than an hour later, accompanied by the children's cheers, Cao Nanyu came back triumphantly, carrying a bucket, like a monkey king leading a group of children.
Qu Tian didn't believe it, so he walked closer and saw that there were about a dozen fish in the bucket. The largest one was as thick as his finger and was still alive and kicking.
Cao Nanyu handed the bucket forward, as if asking for credit: "Take it."
Qu Tian stared at Cao Nanyu with deep eyes, and saw that his face was filled with a genuine smile, which, against the backdrop of the green mountains and lush forests behind him, formed a breathtaking scenery.
Cao Nanyu rubbed his chin uncomfortably: "Did something get on it?"
"Yeah." Qu Tian raised his hand and gently wiped his face. His wrist was steady and his pulse was strong, as if he was doing something very ordinary. "There's a mud spot."
Cao Nanyu was a little confused. The temperature of the other person's fingertips was not very high, but it caused a burning sensation on his face, and his head was buzzing. He felt a little at a loss.
Fortunately, Qu Tian left after wiping it. The man said in a deep voice, "Come, I'll take you to see the dean."
If you want to act wildly in someone else's territory, you naturally have to meet the owner. Cao Nanyu didn't think much about it and quickly followed.
After they left, the two little boys looked at each other.
"Didn't you see the mud spots on Big Brother's face just now?"
"I didn't see it either. It's very clean."
They had dinner at the welfare home. The director was a middle-aged woman with a warm face and was quite talkative. After dinner, it was time for him and Qu Tian to leave.
Qu Tian took both the bus and a taxi this morning and finally made it to the welfare home. Now that Cao Nanyu was there, he could even get a ride.
"Where do you live?" Cao Nanyu watched Qu Tian fasten his seat belt and started the car. "I'll take you home."
"Let's go to the hospital." Qu Tian said calmly, "I still need to check on Mr. Zhou's condition."
Cao Nanyu nodded, and the car lights illuminated the increasingly dark night as it drove towards the brightly lit city center.
Cao Nanyu called Wen Shuang midway and learned that he had bought two more boxes of seafood. Qu Tian helped carry the things and frowned slightly: "Can you finish it?"
"That's as much as two of you in terms of appetite." Cao Nanyu stated the facts calmly without exaggerating.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when the two arrived at the hospital. Cao Nanyu went there first, and Qu Tian came in after changing into a white coat.
Except for a bed and necessary electronic equipment, everything else in the ward had been taken away. Zhou Qing, with his eyes wrapped in bandages, was sitting on the bed chatting with Wen Shuang.
"You can't eat seafood, but I let you smell it." Wen Shuang smiled slyly.
Zhou Qing was helpless: "Shuang'er, be a human being."
"Doctor Qu is here." Yu Ze was very polite to Qu Tian and immediately moved a stool for him from another room.
After thanking him, Qu Tian sat down next to Zhou Qing and recorded all the data on the instrument. After analyzing it, he said, "Your recovery is also very good today. Pay more attention to your diet and make sure to get enough rest."
"I sleep more than ten hours a day, which is good." Zhou Qing continued.
Qu Tian nodded, and then listened to Yu Ze's order to leave: "Wenshuang, take the food home and eat it."
"No, I want to eat it here. How can you be so cruel? Qing'er can't even smell it." Wen Shuang protested vaguely.
Qu Tian: "..." Who is so cruel?
Zhou Qing followed the sound and grabbed Wen Shuang's arm, then said to Yu Ze, "We're just joking. Go ahead and do your thing."
Yu Ze laughed angrily: "Boss Xuan just spoils you too much."
Wen Shuang responded: "Qing'er also spoiled me a lot, what's wrong with envy and jealousy? Yuze, don't be too arrogant, or you'll get into trouble soon."
"I'm unlucky." Yu Ze forgot the pain after his wound healed: "Do you think your mouth is blessed?" After saying that, he went to the bathroom to wring out Zhou Qing's towel, and then less than half a minute later, there was a "ding-ling-clang" sound.
Zhou Qing: "Yu Ze"
"It's okay!" Yu Ze sat on the ground, his face doused by the hot water in the basin. He wiped it off and began to doubt his life. He even heard voices in his ears. It was Tang Weisheng who kept persuading him: "I told you not to mess with him! Don't mess with him! Why can't you control yourself?"
Yu Ze: “…” Let’s go to the temple tomorrow to ask for a talisman.
