Chapter 67 It's up to you
Qi Xi said this because she wanted to see if her best friend's deadbeat husband cared about her at all.
But to her surprise, just after she finished speaking, there was a loud thud on the other end of the phone, like something had been hit.
"Where does it hurt? Is it serious? When did it start hurting? Could you please take her to the hospital first, and then send me her location?"
Qi Xi just wanted to see how this man treated her best friend, but she didn't expect him to get so anxious and even want to come over directly.
While Qi Xi was stunned and unsure how to respond, Yu Li took the phone.
"My best friend was just joking. I ate too much for dinner and felt a little nauseous, but I'm fine now. Don't worry, and you don't need to come all the way here."
While answering the phone, Yu Li gave her best friend a look that said, "I'll settle the score with you later."
Knowing he had made a mistake, Qi Xi immediately raised his hands in surrender and made a pitiful, pleading expression.
While Yu Li went to the balcony to answer the phone, Qi Xi couldn't help but scratch his cheek.
She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but the deep, pleasant voice on the phone sounded so familiar, like that of her powerful uncle.
What is she thinking? She can't just think everyone's voice sounds like her uncle!
Although Yu Li said she was fine, Qi Chenyan still hung up the phone and called back via video, only able to feel at ease after seeing her in person.
"See? I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? If you don't believe me, I'll give you a twirling ballet."
Qi Chenyan looked at the phone screen carefully and made sure that Yu Li's complexion was normal and her mental state was good before he gave up the idea of rushing over.
"What did you eat for dinner? Why did you throw up again?"
Yu Li briefly summarized: "Zhou Heran treated us to a meal with the band. The home-cooked food was pretty good. After watching the concert all day, I was a bit hungry and couldn't control myself, so I ate a little too much."
"I wasn't supposed to throw up, but I packed some roast pigeon for my best friend, and when she was eating it, I smelled the greasy smell and suddenly couldn't help it. I threw up a little, but I feel much better now."
Qi Chenyan was still a little worried: "If it's convenient for your best friend, have her massage some acupoints that I massaged for you before. That will make you feel better."
Yu Li felt that she had only vomited once and it wasn't that dramatic, but since the other person was concerned about her, she agreed for the time being.
"It's already late at night, why are your lights still on?"
Qi Chenyan casually mentioned, "I'm working overtime to handle some things."
He casually changed the subject: "Have you booked your return ticket after the concert?"
"When I bought the tickets, I booked round-trip tickets to allow time and not be too rushed. The tickets were for the last concert, around 7 p.m. Anyway, the distance wasn't far, and I could get home before 10 p.m.
Qi Chenyan hummed in agreement: "When you're out and about, you still need to be careful. Your condition is special right now, so you'll need someone to accompany you when you go out."
Yu Li chuckled: "Why do I feel like I'm a porcelain doll in your eyes, someone who would break if you touched me?"
Qi Chenyan sighed: "I hope you can be safe and well, and free from all taboos."
Perhaps it's because the moonlight is too serene tonight.
Or perhaps it was because the man's tone was too gentle.
Yu Li's heart skipped a beat.
Looking at the man on the other end of the video call, she suddenly blurted out, "I always buy souvenirs when I travel. Is there anything you want? I can buy it for you."
But after saying it, Yu Li regretted it a little.
Although she didn't know what brand Qi Chenyan's clothes were, she was certain that if they weren't from an obvious luxury brand, they must be custom-made, which is even more expensive than luxury goods.
Yu Li is just an ordinary wage earner who hasn't even achieved financial freedom yet.
Every time I go out with my best friend, we go to those ubiquitous gift shops, and the most expensive little gifts we buy are only around a hundred yuan.
But at this price point of around a hundred yuan, it might not even be enough for a single button on Qi Chenyan's clothes.
"It depends on what you like, I'm not picky."
Qi Chenyan had barely finished speaking when he changed his mind: "Can I make a small request?"
Yu Li snapped out of her daze and chuckled, "Of course you can!"
"It shouldn't be any souvenirs related to Zhou Heran, like the ones mentioned online..."
Qi Chenyan paused halfway through his sentence, and Yu Li added from behind, "You mean the surrounding area?"
Qi Chenyan learned this word online just a few hours ago, but he really doesn't understand star chasing, especially since there are so many new terms among star chasers, many of which he still doesn't fully understand.
But Yu Li exclaimed in an exaggerated "Wow!": "Director Qi, you're so trendy! You even know about the merchandise for us fangirls?"
Qi Chenyan coughed lightly: "Since you like it, I looked into it."
Yu Li was taken aback, and couldn't help but pinch her slightly hot earlobe.
What's wrong with this man? He always says things that are easy to misunderstand, but weren't they getting married because of a pregnancy?
They have no emotional foundation, yet they talk like a couple deeply in love, their ambiguous relationship easily leading to speculation.
Yu Li told herself not to overthink it, and then gave an OK sign to the video.
"I've written it down in my little notebook, I absolutely won't buy you any merchandise."
No sooner had he finished speaking than someone on the other end of the video call came to talk to Qi Chenyan.
"You go ahead and get busy, but also get some rest early, don't overwork yourself."
The man's amorous eyes, filled with a smile that never faded, said, "Okay, I'll rest after a while. Goodnight."
Goodnight, muah!
Qi Chenyan was taken aback.
Yu Li was also taken aback.
However, before the other party could react, she quickly hung up the video call.
Oh my god, when I video chat with my best friend, I always add a "muah" at the end of the message before hanging up, just to show how playful and intimate we are.
I slipped up and said it to Qi Chenyan.
Anyway, she doesn't care. As long as she hangs up the video quickly, she won't admit that the embarrassing kiss just now came from her mouth.
On the other end of the phone, Qi Chenyan seemed to have encountered an international problem; even though the screen had gone black, he didn't put down his phone.
It wasn't until a staff member tentatively called out, "Director?"
Qi Chenyan snapped out of his reverie and asked in a questioning tone, "What does 'momo da' mean?"
The staff member almost choked to death on his own saliva.
Who would have thought that Director Qi, who was never one to smile and always had a serious demeanor, would suddenly utter the words "mwah mwah mwah."
It's like a muscular man wearing a pink floral mini-skirt—it's both terrifying and horrifying!
"It means... cough cough, a kiss, usually used to express one person's intimacy and affection for another."
