Qi Yu subconsciously took her in his arms, frowned, and gently stroked her back with his hand.
As soon as she said this, he was unable to utter a word.
The eyes he looked at her were full of worry and obvious guilt.
I felt a little regretful, wondering if I shouldn't have told her about Zhang Qilin.
She was also a little annoyed. If it was her own body at this moment, it might give her more comfort.
Qi Yu took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, there was a faint red circle around the corners of his eyes.
Xu Liang simply tightened his arms and vented his emotions on him.
Somehow, at this moment, the cedar scent on his body could give her a great sense of security.
This was the first time Qi Yu had experienced this kind of thing. He didn't know how to comfort the person in his arms. After thinking it over for a while, he still found it difficult to speak.
In the end, I had no choice but to hold her and wait for her to calm down.
The moon outside the window has moved several times, the white fog is getting thicker, and the night is slowly being swallowed up.
Xu Kyung was tired from crying and his eyes were swollen.
Her mind gradually cleared, and when she saw Qi Yu's shoulders were covered with her wetness, she felt even more guilty and ashamed.
She lowered her head and retreated from his embrace, never daring to look at him. She turned her head away and said in his voice, "I'm fine."
Qi Yu's voice, tinged with tears, had a strong nasal tone, like a wine that had been aged for a long time, mellow with a hint of sexiness.
Xu Kyung suddenly felt ashamed.
The phone on the bedside automatically lit up. It was already half past five.
In other words, Qi Yu stayed in her room for two hours and they hugged each other for two hours.
Xu Liang tried hard to clear the thoughts from his mind and curled up his body. He clenched his fists tightly under the quilt, wanting Qi Yu to leave quickly.
Qi Yu was not what she expected.
Her hands were pulled out, and Xu Liang wanted to resist. The next second, the slightly cool wet tissue touched her skin, and she shivered slightly.
Qi Yu was helping her wipe the stains off her hands, and she herself didn't even notice when she got them on her hands.
His voice was slightly hoarse, with a hint of fatigue, but still gentle: "Wipe it clean, you can still sleep for another two hours."
But Xu Liang felt that his gentleness seemed different from others.
The gentleness of others is like the warm rising sun, but Qi Yu’s gentleness is like a slowly burning flame, which has the tendency to become hot at any time.
This is totally unlike him.
But now is not the time to dwell on these things, she wants him to leave quickly.
She grabbed the wet tissue from his hand and wiped it roughly, then started to chase him away: "Okay, I've wiped it clean. I want to sleep a little longer. You can go out now."
He used almost all his strength to push Qi Yu away. The man was slightly startled, then sneered inexplicably after poking his cheek: "Okay, I'll go out. Mr. Xu will throw it away after using it. I'm the one who's pitiful."
He teased deliberately, but Xu Liang didn't respond. He turned his back to him and wrapped the quilt tightly around him.
She heard the man stay behind her for a few seconds, then stepped out and closed the door for her.
Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief instantly. His body was indeed very tired. Without having time to think too much, he fell into a deep sleep again.
When I woke up again, the alarm on my phone had already rung several times.
After getting up with a little sleepiness, Xu Liang casually fixed his hair, changed his clothes and prepared to go out to make coffee.
Unexpectedly, Qi Yu got up earlier than her again.
The hazy sleepiness dissipated instantly when I bumped into him in the kitchen.
He used her strength to help her stand steady: "Are you still asleep?"
Although there was no longer the unfamiliar tenderness of the night, there was no longer the usual annoying coldness.
Xu Liang's movements were a little unnatural. He casually tucked his non-existent long hair by his ears, went straight to get the cup of ground coffee, grabbed two bags of sugar from the small basket, and prepared to go out.
Qi Yu stopped him, and he put the candy back, explaining, "I've already put two packets of candy in there, just drink it directly."
"……oh."
Xu Liang felt even more uncomfortable and quickly shook off his hand and sat down in the restaurant.
Unconsciously, her mind had become accustomed to waiting for him to bring breakfast to her.
Qi Yu cooked noodles this morning.
It was normal, but he deliberately explained it: "I cried for so long last night, I must have used up a lot of energy, so I need to replenish some carbohydrates."
“…”
Xu Liang felt that he did it on purpose, and his face felt a little sore, but he still didn't respond.
She just buried her head in her food, wanting to finish quickly and go to the company. She had a meeting this morning to confirm the new equipment to be added to the retirement community.
Xu Liang wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but the person next to her obviously didn't think so.
Xu Liang didn't respond to him, so he would bring it up every once in a while.
"Remember to drink plenty of water today and stay hydrated."
"You're running low on wet wipes in your room. I'll put some more in for you later."
"How's your sleep? My back and waist are sore, especially my shoulders. They're so sore."
“…”
Xu Liang felt that the skin of this body was about to be completely peeled off by its original owner.
Xu Liang quickly finished the last bite, wiped his mouth, and pretended not to hear anything. "I'm done. I'm going to work first. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Qi. See you later!"
This time she ran faster than a duck, and in just thirty seconds, she was already in the elevator.
Her heartbeat was like a drum in her ears. She automatically blocked out the embarrassment and continued to numb herself. She turned on some rock music in the car to divert her attention and went to the company.
Liu Zhu came in as usual to make confirmation before the meeting, but was slightly stunned when he met Qi Yu's red and swollen eyes.
Xu Jing noticed her lingering gaze and touched her face: "Is there something on my face?"
The nasal tone is a bit heavy.
Liu Zhu was startled again, pursed his lips, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Qi, are you... sad?"
Liu Zhu asked in a tactful way.
Xu Liang was slightly speechless and didn't explain: "It's okay, go on."
…
Today's meeting is a follow-up to the previous meeting.
Qi Yu had read the proposals from last time in his mailbox, and finally selected a few of them. He also told Xu Ying how to simply judge whether the content of their proposals met the standards.
Smart chess and card rooms and square dance teaching systems are both included. The app has a preliminary prototype and needs to be improved later.
Among the proposals that Xu Ying didn't listen to at the time, Qi Yu picked out a few proposals that focused on technology.
One is a robotic arm massage, and the other is a robot companion.
With the previous experience as a lesson, the reporters this time were all sweating in fear, fearing that their boss would lose his temper again.
Xu Liang frowned as he looked at their slides and the printed plan, but he still suppressed the awkwardness in his heart.
She took Qi Yu's money, so she should stay calm.
Besides, she already knew very well that Yian was a technology company. This was not Tong Xin, and she was not Xu Liang at the moment.
Xu Liang patiently read through the proposals and listened to their reports.
To be honest, she didn't feel angry at all, but rather felt awkward.
The plans were well done, the presentations were quite successful, and the feasibility analysis was quite good.
However, she did not have the courage to agree.
If she fully agrees with this "cold" technological retirement plan, would it be a betrayal of humanity?
The words she had said last night quietly came to her mind: "But perhaps technology-based elderly care doesn't mean it can't be given equal weight to humanities. Perhaps the two are not in conflict at all."
A complex wave of emotions rose in her chest, and she was a little dazed.
It was Assistant Liu's voice that pulled her back: "Boss Qi, they've all finished their reports. What do you think the results are?"
Xu Liang stared at the last page of the PowerPoint presentation in front of him and closed the folder. "Let's adjourn the meeting for now. I'll give you guys a reply later."
After saying that, she returned to the office.
The people in the conference room were not in a hurry to leave and were still trying to get information from Assistant Liu.
"Assistant Liu, what's wrong with President Qi today? He seemed absent-minded throughout the entire meeting."
"Yeah, and those eyes, that nasal voice, did Mr. Qi cry because of a breakup?"
Liu Zhu was sandwiched between several people and said helplessly, "I really don't know. He didn't say."
"So can we still complete this report today?"
"I think it's pretty bad. Although our President Qi is no longer angry, I don't think he is very happy either."
"Look at what you said. If someone really breaks up with their love, can they be happy?"
"If President Qi and President Xu really have a problem, then won't we just go back to pure technology?"
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room, and Assistant Liu stopped the rumors in time: "Okay, everyone go back to work. Mr. Qi won't affect the work. As for everyone's proposals, I will keep an eye on them over there. Everyone, disperse."
…
In the office, Xu Liang was still staring at the proposals.
Assistant Liu came in and asked about the result of the proposal, and she just told her to take a closer look and she knew what was going on.
In the quiet space, Xu Liang flipped through the book again and again, thinking about it again and again.
Robotic arm massage can share some of the manpower and save time; robot companionship is developed from the perspective of elderly people who are interested in technological products, and can also make up for the lack of some manpower.
Indeed, some elderly people are more interested in technological products. Compared with ten caregivers who are mostly of similar age, they may prefer advanced and new gadgets.
With his brows still furrowed, Xu Liang subjectively interrupted his thoughts, unwilling to continue thinking.
She was inexplicably standing in a perspective she had never thought of before, and a struggle was swirling in her heart.
Was it Yian's work environment that influenced him? Or was it Qi Yu?
Or...was she influenced by herself?
I leaned back in my chair and tried to calm myself down, but I felt more and more disappointed.
She pushed the document in front of her away in annoyance, and a small object next to the computer rolled around.
Looking closely, it was the USB flash drive that Qi Yu had given her before.
At that time he told her that she could look at what was inside when she had time, but she never did.
It was difficult to calm down at this moment, so she simply plugged in the USB drive and opened the only file on the computer.
After seeing the contents inside, my emotions not only did not calm down, but instead became even more turbulent.
Inside is the core development process of Yian, or more precisely, the development of technological elderly care from Qi Yu's perspective.
The layout of the pictures and text is neat. The pictures should have been taken by Qi Yu himself, and the text is similar to his monologue.
A picture of an elderly person wearing a smart bracelet has the caption: This is the first smart bracelet I made. It can monitor vital signs in real time and also has a voice assistant to chat with the elderly. It can effectively alleviate loneliness and save manpower time in measuring vital signs.
The standardized menus and pictures of his customized schedules are accompanied by captions: Calculating the types and weight of food needed daily based on each elderly person's physical signs, as well as the required sleep and activity time, can effectively reduce dietary and sleep risks and enable a healthy lifestyle.
The caption under the picture of the smart nursing bed reads: Developed based on the pressure sores, frequent getting up at night, and changes in body position that may exist in the elderly, it can reduce errors in manual monitoring, reduce the occurrence of pressure sores and the risk of falls, and save manpower.
And so on and so forth.
It looks like a document that has no end, and it is a record of every technological elderly care product that Qi Yu has developed since he joined Yian.
She suddenly remembered the notebook she had written in.
Although their focus was different, she saw that they had the same state of mind.
This document clearly doesn't seem to be written by an emotionally cold person, and he clearly developed technological elderly care from the perspective of saving manpower. Why does he always speak in such an arrogant and contemptuous manner?
Xu Liang's eyes felt sore and he stopped watching.
I leaned back in my chair, feeling a little more complicated.
Just as I was struggling with this, Assistant Liu came in again: "Mr. Qi, the community called and said that Grandma Wu wanted to thank you in person and they are looking forward to your visit."
