Chapter 18 Big Brother is Sick
Qin Qinsen regarded the three days of hospitalization as a rare relaxing vacation.
There was no work, no evil spirits, and except for the occasional noisy Teng An and Teng Su who came to catch Teng An, everything else was very peaceful, making people reluctant to leave and almost forget to check out.
"Master Qin, I'll take you there." This was the first time Anxi appeared in a few days.
Her long chestnut hair was tied into a high ponytail, and the beige casual suit made her look youthful and beautiful. Coupled with her confident and unique aura, it was no wonder that Luo Nanchen, who had seen countless people, was obsessed with Anxi.
Qin Qinsen accepted the three Teng siblings' almost friendly behavior well. He helped his older brother first and then saved his younger brother. Now it seems that the youngest sister also needs his help.
"My house is simple, so I won't invite you to sit upstairs. Let's go to the cafe next door, it's quiet."
Despite the cozy, brightly lit, bourgeois atmosphere, Anxi felt a bit reserved for some reason. Perhaps it was the person sitting opposite her that was so unpredictable, or perhaps it was the other person's overly natural demeanor that made Anxi, who had grown up under the gaze of admiring eyes, feel unsure.
Qin Qinsen didn't look at her, but propped up his chin and looked at the waiter who was serving slices of cake on a plate at the counter.
"It's about my eldest brother, Teng Su."
Unable to remain silent, Anxi whispered, "Ever since he fainted last time, he seems like a different person."
After falling into a coma, Teng Su was immediately sent to the hospital. After a lot of tests, the doctor concluded that he was healthy and his physical fitness was far superior to that of his peers.
But Teng Su never woke up.
It was not until the elders in the family were in a desperate situation that they turned to Ning'an Temple for help and invited Master Fahui over overnight.
——'Soul-leaving syndrome.'
Master Fahui took only one look, then sat down cross-legged and began to chant.
The scene at that time was extremely absurd. Not to mention Anxi, even Teng An, who prided himself on his high ability to accept things, was stunned for a long time.
After the introduction, the rest of the conversation flowed naturally, Anxi's speech speed increasing. "...Ever since Big Brother woke up, he's been acting strangely. He's been investigating all the major families in Hai City, and then he's been looking for all kinds of talented people, regardless of whether they are true or false. In the end, he insisted on spending the night alone in the old house, and he started to act before dawn the next day, transporting something mysteriously. And recently..."
Glancing at Qin Qinsen uneasily, Anxi discovered that he was happily eating red velvet cake, taking small bites and enjoying it very much, as if he had not heard what she had just said at all.
"Master Qin?"
"Hmm?" After swallowing the cake in his mouth and taking a sip of hot milk, Qin Qinsen spoke slowly, "Don't be nervous. Mr. Teng is in good health and mental state. He won't be troubled by any supernatural things. He is safe."
"But……"
"After leaving the soul, it needs to rest and recuperate. Mr. Teng must be very busy and has no time to explain in detail. I suggest you meet with him privately to have a good talk. It will be better than worrying about it alone now."
Anxi's chaotic mood was soothed by Qin Qinsen's calmness. She clasped her hands together, feeling she had no one to confide in. "But my brother hasn't been home lately. I don't know where he lives. He's so secretive. He even had his people conduct an in-depth investigation into the Luo Group..."
There was a sudden pause in his words, and Anxi remembered that the person in front of him was an employee of Luo's.
Putting down his fork, Qin Qinsen said nonchalantly, "A thorough investigation is necessary to ensure the smooth progress of cooperation. This is normal."
"You two siblings have a good relationship." Qin Qinsen changed the subject, as if he was planning to chat with Anxi about family matters.
Anxi was still thinking about his elder brother's abnormality, and subconsciously replied, "Yes, elder brother is very good to us."
Especially in recent times, it's a little outrageous.
Teng Su wasn't a social person, and he was just as quiet at home. While he used to be nice to his family, he wasn't as thoughtful and attentive to everyone's preferences as he is now, even attending family gatherings he once disliked. His initial sense of alienation was gradually dissipating, and a few days ago, he even created a family group with the rather outrageous name: "A Loving Family."
"...Do you think my brother is truly ill? He actually remembers my period! He even asked someone to buy me three boxes of ingredients to promote blood circulation, dissipate blood stasis, and treat uterine coldness, saying that medication is bad for the body and that dietary supplements are the priority?"
"Pfft... cough cough, it's normal to have some insights into life after leaving the soul. Mr. Teng is introverted by nature. Maybe he feels that he has neglected you in the past. Now he is repenting and reforming?" Qin Qinsen tried to hold back his laughter. Listening to Anxi's complaining and puzzled words, he almost got hurt.
It wasn't until groups of students entered the cafe that Anxi stopped talking, realizing how late it was. "Sorry, you just got out of the hospital, so you should get some rest. I'm not going to waste any more time talking to you. Come on, I'll take you home."
"No need, I can just walk there in two steps. As for you, don't walk at night for the next week. It's best to have a driver pick you up. Add me on WeChat, and you can find me if you have any questions in the future."
Anxi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly. "Do I just not have good friendships? It's been like this since I was little. We were playing in the sand together one day, and the next day I was told my friend had an acute illness and was bedridden. All the friends I used to talk to are either injured or dead. Others are unlucky with their wives and husbands, but I am unlucky with my friends."
Otherwise she wouldn't have been alone all the time.
"It's a small problem. Once I gather the materials, I can help you with it by next month at the latest."
"W-what do you mean..." Anxi couldn't believe what he heard.
Over the past twenty years, no fewer than ten masters have asserted that Anxi is destined to live a life of loneliness. Some even claim she will never marry or have children, as this is her last life on earth.
"What I mean is, fate isn't set in stone. Mr. Teng, am I right?"
A hand was placed on Anxi's shoulder, and Teng Su's indifferent face was slightly blurred in the afterglow of the setting sun. "Well, don't worry."
"elder brother……"
"Thank you, Master Qin." Teng Su said, picking up Anxi's phone and his own, and added Qin Qinsen's WeChat respectively. "Tell me what materials you need, and I'll go find them."
Qin Qinsen raised an eyebrow and looked at the transfer information that popped up in the dialog box - a full 100,000. Just as he was about to criticize the boss for being stingy, he heard Teng Su calmly say:
"If you send any more, I'll get a scam alert. I'll send you one tomorrow."
Wow, this guy is very skilled in his business. It seems that he has done this kind of money-spending feat many times before.
After bidding farewell to the Teng siblings, Qin Qinsen contentedly clicked to collect his payment. You couldn't blame him for smiling so brightly; he'd lived a life where he didn't have to worry about money, but now that he was short of food and clothing, he showed a strong spirit of endurance by not complaining.
His wallet was finally no longer empty, and Qin Qinsen clicked on Boss Huang's dialog box -
[What about the work? Let's start with some low- to mid-level work to practice.]
He had learned a lot from Jin Shu in the past few days, and the evil ghost had also stopped appearing. Qin Qinsen just felt that the world was worth living, and the idea of inheriting his father's "business" that had been hidden in his heart for most of his life could no longer be suppressed.
Thinking of the evil spirit, Qin Qinsen added: [I can't do it during the day this week. I have to go to work and it's difficult to ask for leave.]
Boss Huang picked up the phone and was about to reply:?
