I quickly stood up and looked at his back, feeling a little guilty and confused.
He naturally knew that the company he signed with was extremely talent-oriented, but he really hadn't thought about being particularly good at writing.
The next few days passed peacefully, until one day...
Qing Tongyin was about to get some water with his cup when he saw everyone gathered in the tea room. He walked over curiously and asked, "What's going on? Everyone's gathered here!"
Zhichen frowned and looked at Qing Tongyin seriously, which made Qing Tongyin even more nervous. Did something happen?
"Boss, Mianxin has been on leave recently and hasn't come to town. She doesn't answer the phone either. We are all a little worried!" Shanshan looked down at the cup in his hand, his voice seemed full of vicissitudes of life.
Hasn't she come? It seems so. I haven't seen her many times in this month.
Could it be that because of what happened last time, she feels embarrassed and is therefore reluctant to come?
But thinking about it carefully, her complexion was not very good on the first day...
Qing Tongyin frowned, put the cup on the table, and turned around. "I'll go take a look!"
"...Boss..." Zhichen wanted to call him, but Shanshan suddenly grabbed Zhichen's arm and shook his head, "Don't think about those things at this time!"
"But... forget it!" Zhichen watched Qing Tongyin leave, lowering his head and feeling a little lost.
Qing Tongyin was feeling nervous and restless on the way to Mianxin's house, always feeling that something was going to happen!
Arriving downstairs in the residential complex, he quickly rushed up and looked at the tightly closed door. Qing Tongyin took a deep breath and knocked on the door. "Mian Xin! Are you home? Open the door! You haven't been to work recently, and everyone is worried about you. Did something happen to you?"
No response.
The childish voice continued to knock "Cotton heart! Cotton..."
"Young man! Stop knocking!" Suddenly, an elderly voice behind him interrupted the childish shout.
Qing Tongyin couldn't care less now. "Auntie, I'm sorry to bother you, but I have something important to do and I need to find the girl who lives in this house. Do you know where she is?"
Sadness crept onto the woman's forehead. "That girl, she's in the hospital now!"
"Hospital? Why in the hospital? What on earth happened?" Qing Tongyin looked at the woman in shock, but did not notice how loud her voice was.
The woman was startled, and her old legs took two steps back. Qing Tongyin grabbed her arm and said, "Never mind, I won't ask any more questions. Let's go find her first!" "Which hospital is she in?"
The woman stammered as she told him which hospital Mian Xin was staying in. Qing Tongyin didn't hesitate for a moment and ran down the stairs to the hospital the woman mentioned. She rushed to the front desk in a panic, breathing heavily from running and anxiety. "Excuse me, which ward is a girl named Mian Xin...Xin Weiyu in?"
He almost forgot that all the names in the studio were not their real names, but code names they gave themselves. They got used to calling them that and sometimes they would forget their real names. Mian Xin's real name was Xin Weiyu!
"Ms. Xin Weiyu? Okay, I'll look for it!" Seeing Qing Tongyin's anxious look, the receptionist also sped up the search. "It's in room 365!"
Qing Tongyin ran straight to the room. Just as he left, another nurse sitting next to the receptionist looked at the receptionist and asked with some regret in her voice, "Is the girl he's looking for suffering from advanced stomach cancer?"
"Hmm! How pitiful! She got an incurable disease in her youth, has no family, and is an orphan... But that man just now should be her boyfriend!"
"I don't know. Anyway, the time we have together is so short! Cherish it!"
Qing Tongyin rushed to room 365. There were many people gathered at the door. He pushed the crowd aside and looked inside through the glass on the door, but saw a pale and lifeless little girl lying on the bed. Several doctors were whispering around her. Even through they were wearing masks, one could see the distress and regret on their faces.
Qing Tongyin pushed the door open and rushed in. All the doctors were startled. "Who are you? Get out! No outsiders are allowed in here, unless you are..."
"I'm her friend!" Qing Tongyin said lightly, and walked to the bedside. Mian Xin slowly opened her eyes, turned her head a little, and looked tiredly towards the door. However, the moment she saw Qing Tongyin, surprise flashed in her eyes, and then fear. "Boss?"
Mian Xin's voice was weak, striking Qing Tongyin's heart. He squatted in front of Mian Xin and looked at her. "Why, why didn't you tell us that you were sick and hospitalized?"
"Boss, I don't want you to worry about me. Besides, this is not a serious illness. I will be well soon!" Mian Xin's smile was very forced and laborious, with her eyes half open and drowsy.
Qing Tongyin couldn't bear to disturb her and patted her head. "Okay, since you're so sleepy, why don't you take a nap? Do you want to eat anything? I'll go get it!"
Cotton Heart looked at him. Somehow, her vision became blurred, and a layer of mist covered her eyes. "I want to eat an apple!"
"Okay, I'll go get it!" Qing Tongyin stood up and left, standing at the doorway until the doctor came out. He grabbed one of the people holding the cardboard, lowered his head, and asked in a hoarse voice, "What's wrong with her?"
"Who are you to her?"
"I...I'm her friend!"
"Oh, she has advanced gastric cancer! Since you are her friend, I hope you can persuade her. If she continues to be stubborn and refuses to undergo surgery, the remaining time... may be less than a month! It may even happen at any time..." The doctor did not say the last two words, but gave Qing Tongyin a helpless sigh. Of course, he understood what this meant!
Qing Tongyin fell down on a chair against the wall. How could it be possible? How could such a healthy girl be in the late stage of stomach cancer?
…
In the following days, Qing Tongyin often came to the hospital and told Mianxin interesting things. Mianxin asked him not to tell people in the studio that she was in the hospital, and Qing Tongyin promised her that she would never tell anyone. His excuse internally was that Mianxin had resigned and no one knew about it except him!
Early in the morning, Qing Tongyin went to a nearby supermarket to buy some fruits. Just as he got in the car and was about to drive out, Mo Xingnian's car stopped in front of him.
"Why are you here?" Qing Tongyin got out of the car and looked at him with a puzzled look on her face.
"Why can't I come? Of course I'm here to see you!" Mo Xingnian said calmly. His expression changed as he saw the fruit in his car. "Where are you going?"
"I... go to the company!" Qing Tongyin smiled awkwardly. Mo Xingnian must not know about this matter. If he gets jealous, even ten oxen can't pull him back!
"Going to the company?" Mo Xingnian stared into Qing Tongyin's eyes, approached, and lowered his head. "Don't lie! I can see it!"
"It's true! You've been busy with company matters lately, how do you know what I've been doing lately!"
