Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Do you have a sense of boundaries?
After realizing what was happening, Qiao Wu slapped him hard on the back of the head: "Are you crazy too?"
I think about all sorts of random things all day long.
Only then did Lu Yingchi realize that he had indeed been feeling a little dizzy, but his body had always been as strong as an ox and he seldom got sick. Even when he had broken his leg after jumping off a building, he was still in good spirits, so he never thought that he would get sick just by swimming in the river.
"."
His eyes wandered, "I thought..."
I thought he was bewildered by her fragrance.
He was scared to death.
"The river water is dirty and contains many microorganisms, which may cause infection and fever." Qiao Wu called the hotel to ask for a thermometer.
After measuring, it turned out to be 39 degrees.
Lu Yingchi collapsed onto the sofa and began to groan, "I feel uncomfortable and want to vomit."
"Your acting skills are not much better than your brother's."
"..." Lu Yingchi opened his eyes and said angrily, "I have a fever, and you still don't care about me! You know, you should be rewarded for bravely doing what is right!"
Qiao Wu poured him a cup of hot water and said, "Go lie down on the bed. I asked Guo Liyan to buy some medicine."
"Speaking of which, I haven't asked before." Lu Yingchi's head was indeed a little heavy, and his breathing became a little slow. Holding the water cup, he asked, "When did you go with him?"
He didn't react at all when we were at the B&B just now, so he found it strange now.
"He's my new assistant."
"Assistant?" Lu Yingchi sat up suddenly. "Him?"
"What's wrong with him?" Qiao Wu pressed his solar plexus to relieve the day's fatigue. "He graduated from a prestigious university, has good judgment, and is willing to learn and endure hardships."
"But……"
But after a long time, Lu Yingchi couldn't find any other reason to refute.
In his eyes, Guo Liyan is the same person as him, eating at home, living at home, and playing around outside.
But in the blink of an eye, he was dressed in a suit and stood next to Qiao Wu as her assistant, while he was still participating in the Metamorphosis, clashing with people in school.
The person Qiao Wu likes should be pretty good.
No wonder he spoke up for Guo Liyan back then.
He closed his eyes and said nothing.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qiao Wu also leaned back on the sofa and took a nap.
Not long after, Guo Liyan rang the doorbell.
Lu Yingchi opened his eyes first, and his gaze, which had not yet found its focus, first fell on the person next to him.
She must have just woken up. Her eyes were vague and even her makeup couldn't hide her deep tiredness. Lu Yingchi had never seen Qiao Wu so vulnerable.
Seeing her sitting up and about to get up, Lu Yingchi held her back and said, "I'll go."
He staggered to his feet and opened the door.
"Are you okay?" Guo Liyan handed him the medicine. "If the fever doesn't go away after taking the medicine, we'll have to go to the hospital."
"Not that pretentious." Lu Yingchi turned around and opened the bag. After seeing the dosage, he stuffed it directly into his mouth and swallowed it with the water on the table.
Guo Liyan followed in and saw that Qiao Wu hadn't even changed his clothes since returning. He said, "How about I sleep here tonight? It'll be more convenient for me to take care of him. You've been busy all day, so you should rest early. You still have activities tomorrow."
To be honest, Qiao Wu was not very worried because Lu Yingchi rarely got sick.
But before she could say anything, Lu Yingchi urged her to get up: "Leave him here, you go to sleep, I'll be ready in a while."
"but…"
"But what? I'm so big, can you still carry me if I really can't get up?" Lu Yingchi said impatiently, "Go quickly."
"Yes, we're both men, and I can sleep in the same room with him," Guo Liyan said. "If the fever doesn't go away later, I'll call you again."
From this perspective, it is indeed more convenient for Guo Liyan.
"I'll give you a day off tomorrow," Qiao Wu said. "You'll have to work hard tonight."
Only after Qiao Wu left did Lu Yingchi relax his shoulders and dive into the bed.
Guo Liyan first went back to his room to get a change of clothes, and then brought up his work notebook. He walked into Lu Yingchi's room naturally, but did not really want to sleep in the same bed with him. Instead, he took a spare quilt and put it on the sofa next to him, intending to spend the night there.
Hearing the noise, Lu Yingchi turned his head and asked: "What are you doing?"
Guo Liyan, who was sitting on the sofa, opened his notebook and looked up when he heard the words: "Go to sleep, I'll wait for your fever to subside."
"I'm not the Princess and the Pea, nor am I an evil capitalist. I just have a fever." Lu Yingchi pointed to the next room, "Go over and sleep with yours."
He agreed just now just to coax Qiao Wu away.
"No." Guo Liyan insisted, "I promised Chairman Qiao."
Chairman Qiao, this title is really novel.
Lu Yingchi changed his mind. He squirmed towards the big bed and patted his side: "Come up and sleep. I have something to tell you."
Worried that Guo Liyan would refuse again, he said, "Either come up or get out."
Now Guo Liyan was at a loss. He sat down with his laptop, lowered the brightness of the computer screen, and listened to the young master complaining while working.
"Why do you want to work with Qiao Wu?" Lu Yingchi asked.
"I didn't know she was my boss until I went for the interview."
"I mean, why do you work?"
Guo Liyan was surprised that this young master would talk to him about such a formal topic. He thought for a moment and said, "I want to be more useful."
Lu Yingchi said, "She likes you very much, right?"
like?
Guo Liyan never dared to think about these two words. He lowered his eyes and said, "Chairman Qiao only recognized my ability and gave me an opportunity. It can't be said that he loves me."
Lu Yingchi agreed: "Yes, she likes us."
Guo Liyan: “…”
"Isn't it interesting to work with her?"
"Work is work." Guo Liyan always felt that something was not right with what Lu Yingchi said, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
He was silent for a few seconds, then added, "But I'm lucky."
"That's true." Lu Yingchi couldn't imagine what it would be like to work with Qiao Wu, "but it should be nice to be together every day."
Does he also need to find a job in the company?
Guo Liyan paused and turned to look at Lu Yingchi: "Are you..."
He stopped talking halfway when he saw that Lu Yingchi had his eyes closed and didn't seem to realize what he had said.
"What is it?"
"nothing."
Guo Liyan withdrew his gaze, but his work efficiency slowed down a lot.
In fact, he wanted to ask: Do you like Qiao Wu?
He is so clingy to her, can't stop talking about her, and has such obvious possessiveness.
But he felt that with Lu Yingchi's brain, he probably couldn't tell what love was. If he really liked someone, he would have gone to claim the territory long ago.
Guo Liyan couldn't explain what he was feeling right now, because he didn't want to be Lu Yingchi's emotional mentor and help him come to his senses.
I guess it's despicable.
"Work isn't about being together," Guo Liyan said. "She won't like this."
Lu Yingchi lay on the quilt, realizing that he would be scolded if he did this.
"I'm not that stupid."
-
Qiao Wu was indeed too tired the day before. He set the alarm clock halfway through the night, but saw that he had not received any messages or calls on his phone, so he went back to sleep.
She got up early and went to Lu Yingchi's room. Guo Liyan was already awake.
"How about it?"
"The fever is gone," Guo Liyan said. "I had a low-grade fever for a while before, but I took some medicine and fell asleep again. I'm fine now."
Then there's no need to go to the hospital.
"You can stay in the hotel today and fly over after you have rested well."
"I……"
As the two were talking, Lu Yingchi suddenly opened the door and said with a frown, "I'm fine."
The voice sounds a little hoarse, which should be a sequelae of fever.
"You guys go do what you need to do," he said. "I'm going too."
Qiao Wu was helpless: "What are you making a fuss about?"
"The old man told me to follow you and see what's possible." Lu Yingchi turned around and put on a coat, looking like he was ready to go at any time. "I haven't seen anything yet."
"There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
"I'm really fine, just my throat is a little sore." Lu Yingchi walked up to her and lowered his head, "If you don't believe me, touch it."
My forehead is indeed no longer hot.
Is the recovery so fast?
Qiao Wu was hesitating when Lu Yingchi tugged at her clothes, "Let me go. I won't hold you back. I didn't even let Guo Liyan stay up late last night."
She pulled out the hem of her dress and said, "Don't let anyone hold you back. Your dad showed you yesterday's cocktail party. I have to fly to another province today. If you go there, you won't be able to make it back in time for class tomorrow."
Lu Yingchi insisted: "I don't have classes tomorrow morning. I've already asked my counselor for leave tomorrow afternoon, so I can come back in the evening."
Qiao Wu's face darkened: "Lu Yingchi?"
"You said I could find what I want to do during college, and I just want to go and see." Lu Yingchi was rarely scared by her tone. "I'll make up for the afternoon class and check it out for you then, okay?"
As he said that, he actually showed her the chat records with the counselor. He was the kind of person who would act first and ask for permission later, and he also told the counselor that he would make up for tomorrow's class.
Qiao Wu repeatedly confirmed his physical condition and even called the doctor before agreeing to take him with him.
It takes two hours to fly directly from southern Jiangsu to the destination, but it takes another three hours to drive from the airport to the location of this charity project. Guo Liyan rented a car here in advance. Even so, everyone was still a little unbearable after entering the mountain.
Lu Yingchi, who had been complaining all the way on the bus the day before, looked pale.
He didn't vomit even when he had a fever, and he just complained that the seat on the bus was too narrow for him to stretch his legs. Unexpectedly, he vomited at this moment. He couldn't bear it anymore halfway through the journey, so he stopped and vomited everything out.
He turned around with a pale face. Qiao Wu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was still in good enough condition to be on camera. He couldn't help but question his life: "Don't you feel disgusted?"
He had had his driver's license for less than a year, and he thought the road on the Zero Ring Road was steep enough, but he didn't expect it to be even more steep than that.
He has been all over the world, but he has never found such an inaccessible place in China. It seems that the Zero Ring Line can operate legally because it is indeed safe enough.
But if he remembered correctly, this should be Qiao Wu's first time on this kind of road, right?
Even Guo Liyan, who is so patient, looks unhappy now. How can she keep calm?
"It's okay." Qiao Wu handed him a bottle of water. "It's too late for you to regret now."
Lu Yingchi drank half a bottle of water to rinse his mouth and said weakly: "Whoever regrets is a dog!"
In order to divert his attention, he even made a video call to Lu Ning, determined to let this little girl see the world.
At this moment, Lu Ning was sitting in the library reading a book. She was alone, so she didn't care about anything. She just turned on the speaker and placed her phone upright on the table.
"Wow! What a high mountain! So many trees!"
"Lu Yingchi, why are you so bad at racing?"
"Hold it farther away. I want to see what it looks like outside."
Just as Lu Yingchi stretched out his hand, Qiao Wu in front of him turned his head and glanced at him: "Danger."
"Qiao Wu." Lu Ning came over immediately after hearing her voice. "Next time, take me with you. I can endure more hardships than Lu Yingchi."
Qiao Wu heard her excited tone and didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not here for an autumn outing."
"So what are you going to do next?" Lu Ning asked. "Are you going to stay in the mountains for a long time? Where are you staying? Are there any hotels in the mountains?"
Qiao Wu patiently replied, "There's no hotel, so I live in the village."
Seeing that the two of them started chatting, Lu Yingchi simply handed over the phone.
As soon as Qiao Wu took it, he saw someone quietly appear behind Lu Ning.
Lu Ning also noticed it. She jumped up as if she was equipped with a spring, and the mobile phone standing on the table fell down with a bang.
"Second Uncle!"
The camera shook and flipped, and the person seen again was Lu Jinzhi's face, and his chin was in the camera.
Qiao Wu felt a little emotional. He could even withstand this angle of death.
"You still remember to call me Second Uncle." Lu Jinzhi glanced at her lightly, "If someone didn't know, they would think you saw a ghost."
You are so silent, what’s the difference between you and a ghost!
Lu Ning pulled a chair over and sat down next to her, trying to reach out: "My..."
cell phone.
But her second uncle had no intention of returning the phone to her. Instead, he looked at the camera and started chatting naturally.
"Where are we?"
"It'll take about half an hour to get to the village committee," Qiao Wu said. "Are you taking a day off today?"
"Take a rest in the afternoon."
Looking at the person in the camera, Lu Jinzhi felt that his previous decision was correct. That is, speaking is talking only when looking at the person.
He said lazily, "I'm not a model worker."
Lu Ning whispered, "Then why do you let Qiao Wu work overtime on weekends?"
She didn't have any time to go shopping this weekend.
Lu Jinzhi said calmly, "It's more meaningful than walking a chicken."
“?!”
Give me back my phone!
Lu Ning didn't dare to grab it directly, so she could only sit beside it and sulk.
Qiao Wu heard their conversation and said with a smile, "Don't bully her."
"Then she has to prove herself."
Lu Jinzhi felt a little strange when he saw that her face looked okay.
When he was still in China, he had participated in several charity projects. Even though it was his first time there, he felt a little embarrassed.
"You're adapting well."
Of course Qiao Wu adapted well. She had often been in this kind of environment in her previous life, otherwise she would not have been so brave as to run laps with Lu Yingchi.
She said, "Maybe it's fate. I feel quite close to this place."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Lu Jinzhi couldn't help but think of the past twelve years. He had wondered where she was during that time, but there was no answer.
Could it still be in these places?
It’s better to ask directly for the answer than to guess: “When you come back, you can tell me the reason for getting close to me.”
"Let's talk about it later."
"The temperature difference in the mountains is huge." Lu Jinzhi shared his past experience with her. "Be careful and call me back when the time comes."
Before this, Qiao Wu might not have understood, but now she instantly understood that Lu Jinzhi asked her to remember to report safety at the appointed time, and she didn't expect it to be the other way around.
"good."
Lu Yingchi, who had been lying on the back of the car seat and listening furtively for a long time, finally noticed something was wrong. He pointed at the screen of his phone and said, "You two seem to be having a great time chatting on my phone."
"Do you want to talk to your brother?" Qiao Wu turned the phone screen towards him. "Your brother has been here before. Maybe you have something in common when it comes to motion sickness."
Lu Yingchi rolled his eyes: "When did you two become so familiar with each other?"
You can also chat about the weather and return calls.
Is Lu Jinzhi the kind of person who would call someone to chat about family matters?
His conversation with Lu Ning is normal.
The video lasted for such a long time, but they didn't say a word about serious matters. They just chatted, which made him angry.
"Lu Jinzhi, do you have any sense of boundaries? Can't you tell priorities? Why don't you just talk about a few more projects to make some money? Stop harassing other people who are working hard." He was so unscrupulous across the screen that he even dared to question, "Send me money. Doesn't my data usage cost money?"
The moment Lu Jinzhi saw his face, he immediately hung up the video.
Lu Yingchi: "..."
He angrily accused: "Look at him! What an attitude he has!"
Qiao Wu kindly reminded: "You'd better check if your card has been frozen."
“???”
“The economic base determines the superstructure.”
Lu Yingchi felt a sudden panic for no reason and quickly lowered his head to check if his card was frozen.
Lu Jinzhi is not that stingy, damn, he is really stingy.
After waiting for a long time, half an hour passed.
"No." Lu Yingchi said proudly, "He doesn't dare to be so arrogant."
"That's not necessarily true." Qiao Wu thought for a moment, "Maybe his temper has improved."
Actually, it’s not that my temper has improved.
Lu Jinzhi was just worried that someone's card would be frozen again, and that someone would be so inconsiderate as to run to the same room with Qiao Wu.
He just happened to go to the garage while strolling around and collected all the keys to Lu Yingchi's favorite cars.
Take a photo, send it, and block it.
The proficiency is simply outrageous.
Now Lu Yingchi was no longer carsick. He almost jumped out of the car and flew back to fight with Lu Jinzhi.
"He blocked me!" he exclaimed in shock. "He took my car keys and still dared to block me!"
"Calm down." Qiao Wu laughed. "Your third brother is still on his blacklist. You're all in good order. Oh, and Qin Lian is too."
"Who the hell wants to be on the same page with him!" Lu Yingchi was furious but also confused. "Lu Xuan was also blocked? Why? Lu Jinzhi hasn't seen Lu Xuan many times since he returned to China, right?"
Qiao Wu: "He wants to take your brother's place."
"?" Lu Yingchi felt that Lu Xuan was not wronged at all. "You don't have a big brain, but you have big dreams. That's not right..."
He stared at Qiao Wu's profile. "How do you know so much about the people on Lu Jinzhi's blacklist? You haven't met many times, and he's still bashing you. When did you become so close?"
Why?
Of course, it’s because every person who was blocked was related to her.
yes.
At this moment, Qiao Wu suddenly discovered that he was closely related to Lu Jinzhi's blacklist.
From this perspective, she is indeed very familiar with Lu Jinzhi.
She couldn't help but smiled and raised her eyebrows: "A long time ago."
