For a moment, Su Yunbai wanted to call an ambulance. It wasn't that Huo Qinian's condition looked scary, but - in this city, the starting price for an ambulance is one thousand dollars.
Doesn't he have plenty of money? Let him experience the terrifyingly expensive medical resources of capitalism!
But this thought flashed through Su Yunbai's mind. On the one hand, this kind of dispute seems very childish, and on the other hand, who knows what level of medical insurance a rich man like Huo Qinian has bought? What if an ambulance is just a basic item for him, and an emergency helicopter is the standard? Su
Yunbai admitted that she was full of resentment, but now she didn't want to control her temper at all.
You expect her to be in a good mood when you are causing trouble for others? What good things are you thinking?
Su Yunbai turned around and went out, went upstairs to her room to get the thermometer, and returned to Huo Qinian.
She walked forward and pushed Huo Qinian, "Huo Qinian? Huo Qinian!" After
calling several times, Huo Qinian finally opened his eyes.
He looked a little dazed, and his eyes took a long time to focus, and even his voice was a little confused, "Yunbai? What's wrong?"
Su Yunbai did not hide her impatience, and just handed the thermometer to him, "Thermometer, test it yourself!"
Huo Qinian let out a long breath, as if he had finally sobered up a little.
He was still lying on the sofa, reaching out to take the thermometer, and casually lifted the collar of his home clothes, revealing a small piece of chest and most of the collarbone.
Su Yunbai turned his eyes away.
Huo Qinian quickly put the thermometer away. He was still lying, but he didn't close his eyes, but tilted his head to look at Su Yunbai, and kept looking.
Su Yunbai glanced at him coldly, "What are you looking at?"
Huo Qinian looked honest: "Looking at you."
Su Yunbai sneered, "I see you are in good spirits now. You were not pretending to be me just now, were you?"
Huo Qinian thought for a while and said, "I have thought so before. They said that in a situation like mine, playing the victim to gain sympathy is the best effect. Although I don't believe it completely, I thought I could give it a try.
"But I have too many things to do recently and I don't have time to make a good plan. The most important thing is..." He looked at Su Yunbai, his tone was low and sounded a little pitiful, "I'm afraid you really don't care about me..."
Su Yunbai just felt incredible.
He actually dared to admit it!
How could there be such a person!?
His logic was so clear, it was obvious that it was nothing serious.
Su Yunbai even wanted to turn around and leave.
At this time, a beeping sound rang out.
Thermometer time Here we are.
Huo Qinian slowly lifted his collar again. After taking the thermometer, he didn't even look at it, but handed it directly to Su Yunbai.
Su Yunbai took a deep breath.
This look of a big boss...does she owe him or does she deserve it?
If the temperature is normal later, she will let him see her "good temper".
Su Yunbai took the thermometer and looked at it, and frowned subconsciously.
102 degrees Fahrenheit, converted to... 39 degrees Celsius.
High fever.
Su Yunbai looked at Huo Qinian again.
He was still looking at her, his eyes innocent but with a hint of flattery, so obedient that he didn't even look like Huo Qinian.
Could it be that she has gone crazy from the fever?
Su Yunbai put away the thermometer, suppressed her anger, and said stiffly: "Get up and change your clothes, I'll take you to see a doctor...
"Forget it. Give me your private doctor's contact number and I'll have him come to see you."
Huo Qinian hid back and said in a muffled voice, "No need."
Su Yunbai gritted her teeth, "I'm informing you, not discussing with you!"
Seeing that she was really going to get angry, Huo Qinian sighed and said, "Don't be angry first, I'm not kidding... I went to see a doctor last night, and the doctor prescribed medicine. It's in the bag."
Su Yunbai made a prompt decision: "Where is the bag?"
Huo Qinian thought for a while, "It seems to be in the room?"
Su Yunbai turned around and went to Huo Qinian's bedroom.
The layout of Huo Qinian's bedroom is very simple. A bed, two bedside cabinets, and a coat rack outside the bedside cabinet. In addition, there is a large desk.
The large desk is placed opposite the bed, facing the window. There were no decorations on the table, only a computer with a black screen, a matching mouse and mouse pad, a small stack of folders, and a briefcase placed casually next to it.
Su Yunbai picked up the briefcase and carefully flipped through it, but did not see any medicine.
She became impatient and took out the large items in the bag one by one, and then turned the whole bag over and poured it out. During this time, her movements were accidentally a little too large, and a black leather notebook, two pens, and some remaining small-denomination US dollars fell to the ground.
Su Yunbai bent down to pick up something, but the empty briefcase accidentally rubbed against the folder on the table. The smooth surface of the folder was not resistant to friction, and part of it fell to the ground following Su Yunbai's movement. The document pages inside were not clamped properly, so they fell out. The floor
was in a mess.
Although the floor was covered with carpet, there was still noise when something fell. Huo Qinian obviously heard it and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
Su Yunbai held her breath, "Something fell!"
She squatted down and put away the pages of the document one by one. In order to organize the folder, she inevitably looked at the contents of the document.
To Su Yunbai's surprise, this was not a business contract, but information with Huo Qinian's comments.
Technology City, short videos, market share...
It was a thick stack, but Huo Qinian's comments were on almost every page. The comments were a mixture of Chinese and English, but they did not look messy. On the contrary, because the owner's handwriting was so vigorous and impressive, it was even a bit pleasing to the eye.
Su Yunbai even saw the data related to TargetR and the secondary radiotherapy software.
She looked at it briefly, but she didn't feel unfamiliar with the places marked by Huo Qinian with a black pen - she had a good memory, and these data were clearly mentioned by Huo Qinian when he confronted Jennifer that day.
Su Yunbai looked at the stack of documents with mixed feelings.
How can anyone succeed so easily? Even someone as smart and strong as Huo Qinian had times when he just looked at pages of information like this - although she had long understood this truth, knowing it was different from seeing it with her own eyes.
Su Yunbai's anger could not help but subside a little.
As an associate professor, she was very busy on a daily basis, and Huo Qinian was basically starting a new business, so one could imagine how busy he was.
I really don't know where he got so much time to get involved in her affairs.
These documents did involve some commercial secrets after all. Su Yunbai couldn't bear to look at them for too long, so she gathered her thoughts and quickened the pace of packing.
After the folder was packed up, scattered on the ground were small bills, pens and an open black leather notebook - the black leather notebook fell in a very clever way, the whole notebook was opened, and it was full of Huo Qinian's handwriting.
Su Yunbai had no interest in prying into Huo Qinian's privacy. Keren's eyes have their own sensitive points to track, even if she glanced at it quickly, she still saw some information that made her instinctively care -
[17th Street, 2406... Spring Garden...]
Su Yunbai's eyebrows jumped.
This is where she plans to move this summer, and she just signed the contract with the landlord two days ago.
She subconsciously looked down.
[Alternative 2404, 2408, 2419...]
Su Yunbai understood almost instantly.
2404, 2408, 2419... They are all neighbors of 2406. The first two are on the same side of the road as 2406, while the latter is across the street from it.
Su Yunbai sneered twice.
So that's how they became neighbors!
She was so angry that she didn't care whether she was disrespecting people's privacy, and just flipped the black leather notebook forward.
[Image post-processing...]
[Image noise reduction...]
[AI automatic segmentation...]
Su Yunbai was stunned.
This is her current topic.
What is the purpose of Huo Qinian writing these?
Not to mention, it seems that he really understands a little bit.
Su Yunbai flipped the black leather notebook forward again, almost to the beginning of the whole notebook.
[Dietary preferences...]
[Drinks...]
[Interpersonal relationships...]
Densely packed, in-depth analysis - all about her.
Su Yunbai's eyebrows jumped.
She turned directly to the title page, with two big characters at the head - "Su Xue".
A surge of blood rushed to Su Yunbai's face. For a moment, she didn't even know whether she was angry, afraid or ashamed.
How could there be such a person!
Does he have any bottom line at all!
Su Yunbai slammed the black leather notebook on the table.
The black leather notebook hit the mouse on the table, and the indicator light of the mouse lit up immediately when it moved. Then, the black computer screen was awakened and the screen saver was displayed.
The screen saver was a photo. In the sunshine, Su Yunbai, who was watering the rose bushes, smiled brightly at the camera, looking very excited.
Su Yunbai couldn't remember when she took such a photo.
She looked at herself smiling brightly in the screen saver, and after two seconds, she took a deep breath and closed the computer with a snap.
She turned around and looked at Huo Qinian at the door with great momentum - she heard footsteps.
Huo Qinian obviously knew what happened.
He stood in front of Su Yunbai, pursed his lips, and had a look of forced composure: "I just remembered that I took the medicine and should have put it on the bedside table."
Su Yunbai looked at him and sneered: "Huo Qinian, you are really amazing! What is this? Stalker? Do you know to respect other people's privacy?"
She became more and more angry, not only her face flushed, but also her voice was a little distorted. "Do you still have shame? You are simply unreasonable, you really are..."
Before she finished speaking, Huo Qinian suddenly hugged her.
The scorching temperature enveloped Su Yunbai from all directions.
Su Yunbai couldn't breathe.
She struggled hard, shaking with anger, "Let go! Let go! Huo Qinian?! Not only do you not repent now, you want to get worse?"
Huo Qinian put his chin on Su Yunbai's head, almost trapping Su Yunbai with his hands and feet, and said in a deep voice: "You still don't know how to scold people. I'll tell you how to scold!
"Listen carefully--
"Huo Qinian, you are simply shameless, vulgar, and mean. You sexually harass female compatriots and are as shameless as a dog-skin plaster...
"You have no self-respect at all. You are as dirty as a smelly reptile in the gutter...
"You are a toad who wants to eat swan meat...
"You are scheming, you are insidious and cunning...
"You are simply like a pervert... You may really be mentally ill..."
Su Yunbai was angry, but now he was a little shocked by this development.
- Is Huo Qinian really out of his mind?
Huo Qinian continued to scold: "You have a bad character, you are arrogant and conceited...
"You are rude, arrogant and indifferent...
"You can't handle the relationship between relatives well...
"You don't know how to cherish. You are always used to ignoring the efforts of others, and only regret it when you lose it.
"You are always high and mighty, you can't even bring yourself to apologize. If you didn't have some dirty money, if you didn't have a decent face, you might have been beaten up a long time ago - well, you have been beaten, you really deserve it!
"You haven't taken advantage enough. You have already had a true relationship, but you still think it is not enough, and you still want to maintain this relationship for a long time...
"You are simply... useless."
Su Yunbai opened his mouth, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond.
But did he think that was enough?
She said coldly, "Okay, you can finally speak human language."
Huo Qi sighed, and his mood seemed to drop all of a sudden. "I know all of this, and I admit it.
"I have asked myself more than once, with such an embarrassing past between you and me, on what basis can I dare to ask you to forgive me, ask you to come back...
"I don't know, I don't have an answer.
"I persuaded myself to let go after you went abroad. I told myself a lot of reasons, talked about a lot of truths, and analyzed a lot of pros and cons...
"I'm busy with work, I travel frequently... I have tried all kinds of methods I can think of to build thick walls for myself.
"I hid inside the wall and told myself to hold on for one day, and then another day... If I keep holding on like this, time will always dilute all the feelings and erase all the unwillingness.
"I even tried to convince myself that I should respect your choice. I convinced myself that as long as everything was fine with you, I didn't care where you were or whether you were with me or not...
"I've tried all of that.
" "But it didn't work.
" "Some emotions were so overwhelming that even I felt unfamiliar with them. The feeling of being dominated by these emotions...I don't deny that I was actually afraid.
"I have always looked down on people who are dominated by their emotions...but I never thought that one day I would be one of them.
"It took me more than two months, using all the methods I could think of, to build a wall. I thought it was indestructible, but in fact, it only took the slightest disturbance - just a little external force, and they disappeared and were knocked down like paper.
"I can no longer lie to myself. I miss you, I want to see you... even if we are thousands of miles apart, even if I am a thing of the past to you.
"Even if... you may not want to see me."
