"Okay, but you have to pay."
I knew he was joking, but I still played along and said, "No problem. Call your chef over later and I'll give you a tip in person."
Han Qi raised his eyebrows and said, "I am the chef. Please bring the tip to me."
I was just joking, but he asked me for it directly to my face, which left me a little dumbfounded.
I subconsciously searched my pockets.
Naturally, he didn't touch anything because his clothes had been changed long ago.
I realized later that something was wrong.
Staring at the clothes on my body in a daze.
Han Qi explained, "Don't worry, I asked the nanny at home to change your clothes. The replacement clothes were also hers. The situation was urgent and it was late at night, so I couldn't buy you new clothes."
"I understand, thank you, Captain."
We agreed not to say thank you, but I blurted it out subconsciously.
If he hadn't found me, I might have had to sleep in a roadside pavilion for the night.
Although this weather won’t freeze me to death.
But it was not easy for me to survive the fever.
As for such a small matter as changing clothes, there is no need for me to worry about it. After all, the team leader was trying to save me.
"Team leader, my porridge."
Not wanting to talk about these topics anymore, I quickly looked at the empty bowl.
With a greedy expression.
Han Qi was helpless and said, "Wait."
After he left the room for a while, he came back with a full bowl of porridge, and this time he also brought a plate of green vegetables.
There are very thin shreds of meat in it.
"Your fever has just subsided, so you can't eat anything meaty. This is all you can eat for now. When your fever subsides, I'll take you out for a feast."
When I heard the word "feast", I couldn't help but drool.
However, when I thought of Zhou Chenyan's warning, I suppressed the urge.
"Forget it, I have to work this afternoon."
"What work? I asked for leave for you."
"No need to ask for leave, I'm much better now. I can go back to the company after dinner."
I lowered my head and ate voraciously.
The porridge was warm and fragrant, served with some green shredded vegetables. Although there was only a little bit of shredded pork, it was marinated very well.
After finishing the porridge, I prepared to leave.
Han Qi was helpless. "How can you, a girl, be so workaholic? I finally have a holiday to rest, but you insist on going back."
He couldn't understand me either.
But I can understand his thoughts. I am not a workaholic. If possible, who would not want to stay at home quietly, lying in bed and enjoying a good life?
Unfortunately, things in the world cannot always go as we wish.
"It's all about the money. If I can complete this project, I'll get a huge bonus. Do you think I can give it up?"
Han Qi shook his head helplessly, "You are simply obsessed with money now."
I chuckled and didn't refute.
Han Qi picked up the coat on the sofa and said, "Okay, I'll take you to the company."
"No, no, I can just take a taxi."
"Stop wasting time. Why did you take a taxi? I'm worried about you going out alone in your current state. I also need to go to the company, so I'll take you with me."
I didn't refuse anymore. I actually forgot that I had asked for sick leave, but the team leader didn't ask for leave, so he still had to go to work.
Anyway, this is at the team leader's house, and we are just taking a ride to the company together. Zhou Chenyan shouldn't know about it.
Thinking of this, I feel no pressure at all.
When I came to the living room, I saw a photo on the table.
It's a woman.
She has a pretty and gentle appearance. Facing the camera, she smiles slightly, like a spring breeze. She is a very gentle woman.
But, this is a posthumous photo.
Han Qi stepped forward and blocked the photo. "Sorry, I forgot to put it away. Didn't it scare you?"
I shook my head, "How could this be, this is your mother?"
"Yes, he's been dead for 10 years."
As soon as he talked about his mother, his mood became obviously depressed. As someone who also lost his mother, I can understand his feelings at the moment.
I don’t know how to comfort her, because any words of comfort at this time would be futile.
In the silence, he recovered.
"Why am I talking about the past?"
After getting out of the elevator, we walked out together.
"I see you don't look very well. Don't try to be stubborn when you get to the company. If you feel unwell, come back immediately."
Han Qi’s concern makes me feel warm inside.
"I know, don't worry."
The two of us walked outside, talking and laughing. I glanced at the surrounding scenery and suddenly felt it was somewhat familiar.
But I can’t put it into words.
Until I saw an acquaintance.
No, two.
Zhou Chenyan and Zhou Zhizi.
No wonder I feel familiar with it. Isn’t this the apartment building that Zhou Chenyan gave to Zhou Zhizi when she graduated?
The reason I know this is because Zhou Zhizi brought this matter up in front of me specifically to make me jealous.
Unfortunately, I have long been immune to what happens between the two of them. I feel a little disappointed, but I can't be jealous at all.
How stupid must I be to put myself in such an embarrassing situation.
Their eyes met, and silence filled the air.
Zhou Zhizi spoke first, "Sister Yanyan, why are you here? You didn't go home last night, you were with the team leader?"
Zhou Chenyan looked at us coldly, then suddenly chuckled, "I called you, but you didn't answer. It turns out you were afraid I'd disturb your world of two."
"Don't talk nonsense."
Even if I don't care about my reputation, I can't let him misunderstand Han Qi.
