Chapter 54 Dumplings
As soon as Chu Yunqi left, Ives stared at Zhou Jingzhan again, "Are you really Evan's boyfriend?"
Zhou Jingzhan had long been annoyed with Chu Yunqi for circling around him like a butterfly. He said unhappily, "What's it to you, my business?"
Ives smiled and advised with the tone of someone who had experienced it, "I'm kindly reminding you, don't make him angry. You don't want to know what he does when he gets mad."
Like Chu Yunqi, Zhou Jingzhan left without looking back.
But Eves was not disappointed and turned around to dance on the floor.
It was almost two o'clock when he got home. Chu Yunqi was so sleepy that he took a shower and went to bed.
Zhou Jingzhan couldn't fall asleep. Ives' last words kept lingering in his mind. At three o'clock in the morning, he called Xia Baiming.
"What's wrong, young master? Why did you remember to call me in the middle of the night?" Xia Baiming answered the phone quickly, and it sounded like he hadn't slept all night.
"What has Chu Yunqi been doing in Country M?"
Xia Baiming couldn't handle such a straightforward question. He just wanted to make money and didn't want to get involved in the love-hate relationship between the two young masters. Based on the principle of ignorance, he pretended to be confused, "Chu Yunqi? I don't know. He has been abroad for so many years and we haven't been in touch."
"Don't lie to me. Don't think I don't know that his large transactions, cars, and houses were all paid for through your account."
“…”
"You'll have three seconds to organize your words."
Xia Baiming picked and chose and told him about it.
After listening to it, Zhou Jingzhan still felt that it was not detailed enough, so he called other friends to find out more. After listening to it, he really couldn't sleep.
Zhou Jingzhan didn't know what time he fell asleep. He only clearly remembered that he was having a nightmare when he was woken up by the alarm clock and was scared out of his wits.
He sat on the bed and scratched his hair in regret, cursing himself for being driven by curiosity to find out about Chu Yunqi's affairs.
On the way to work, Zhou Jingzhan was still uneasy, muttering to himself that he must not meet Chu Yunqi.
The reality was that he ran into Chu Yunqi when he was handing over his shift.
After the two of them stood in a stalemate at the office door for two seconds, Zhou Jingzhan decided to go first. As luck would have it, he bumped into Chu Yunqi.
The moment he bumped into Chu Yunqi, Zhou Jingzhan's breathing stagnated. He didn't dare to look up, stammered "I'm sorry", and then quickly found a seat and sat down.
At the meeting, Zhou Jingzhan rarely criticized anyone and sat there seriously.
Chu Yunqi vaguely sensed something was wrong. Usually when the two of them were in a cold war, Zhou Jingzhan would ignore him, but it was more like he was acting coquettishly. Today, he seemed to be a little afraid.
Chu Yunqi racked his brains to figure out what went wrong. By the end of the meeting, he had come to the conclusion that there was only one cause of the problem: Ives.
He did not rush to find Zhou Jingzhan to ask for clarification, but waited until nine o'clock. Ding Xinye performed a lung transplant operation, and everyone in the department who was free had to go and observe.
At first, everything went smoothly. After the key part was completed, Ding Xinye stepped down, and most of the doctors left, Chu Yunqi quietly walked over to Zhou Jingzhan and asked in a low voice, "What did Ives say to you?"
Zhou Jingzhan couldn't help but tremble when he suddenly heard his voice. He distanced himself calmly and said, "He didn't say anything."
He ran away after he said that, and Chu Yunqi was helpless.
During the afternoon rehabilitation session, Chu Yunqi specifically called Ives. He had other intentions and asked directly, "What did you say to Zhou Jingzhan?"
Ives felt very wronged and kept waving his hands to say no.
After dispelling Chu Yunqi's doubts, he continued to ask, "Is he really your boyfriend? You think so unilaterally, right?"
Chu Yunqi glared at him without comment.
Ives gave him an ambiguous look and said mysteriously, "If you like it, just take action. If you have a strong temper, just temper it. You're the best at this. Oh, by the way, there's a new drug that's been released recently. It's very effective with few side effects. It's specifically for people with hard bones. I'll give you two injections to try."
As he was about to take out his phone to contact him, Chu Yunqi interrupted him and said solemnly, "Don't say these things in front of me in the future. Show him some respect."
"Hey," Ives said, a little unconvinced. "When did you start going for the soft route? Honestly, that doctor is really quite attractive. Otherwise..."
Without even thinking about what obscenities he was about to utter, Chu Yunqi grabbed a few pieces of gauze and put them on his face to shut him up, warning him, "If you still want to go back to Country M, then behave yourself. If you provoke him, you're done for."
Ives shut up and began to do rehabilitation for Chu Yunqi. Halfway through, he suddenly said, "Can you throw the gauze at me again?"
“…” Chu Yunqi wanted to slap him, but quickly gave up the idea.
It was not until Xia Baiming called and confessed his guilt that Chu Yunqi understood the whole story.
He found a time when no one was around and seized the opportunity to pull Zhou Jingzhan into the duty room.
Zhou Jingzhan was the only one left in the small and enclosed space, Chu Yunqi and he instinctively wanted to escape, but Chu Yunqi pushed him back onto the bed.
For fear of scaring him, Chu Yunqi moved very gently. Seeing that the man no longer resisted, he let go and took a step back to keep a safe distance.
"Don't listen to what Xia Baiming says."
If he didn't deny it, that meant he admitted it. Zhou Jingzhan stood up again and cursed, "You are a pervert!"
Chu Yunqi pretended not to hear his insults, took a step forward, hugged him and started kissing him. When Zhou Jingzhan's breathing became disordered, he spoke again, "I can't do that in front of others. I love you the most and I can't bear to let you go. Don't be afraid of me."
Chu Yunqi stared at Zhou Jingzhan, as if waiting for a response. Then he lowered his head slightly, placed a light kiss on Zhou Jingzhan's neck, and coaxed him softly, "Don't be angry, baby."
"Stay away from me." Zhou Jingzhan pushed him away with a face full of resentment, and then added, "My family is making dumplings tonight."
Chu Yunqi seemed to be endless, eating and packing up the food, and touched Zhou Jingzhan on the cheek before leaving.
There was a slight accident during Zhou Jingzhan's last operation, which took half an hour longer. Chu Yunqi had been sitting in the office checking information.
During this period, he begged his brother for two cans of tea to bring to Zhou's parents.
The two of them got home around eight o'clock in the evening, and the dumplings on the table looked like they were steaming hot from the pot.
After the three of them sat down, Zhou Wenxuan called out from the kitchen as he brought out the last dish, "Does this plate look familiar?"
It was a very ordinary, even crudely made plate. In short, it did not match the overall style of Zhou Jingzhan's home.
"It's been hundreds of years, how come you thought of taking it out?" Zhou Jingzhan complained, but pushed the plate in front of him.
After he reminded him, Chu Yunqi also remembered that this plate was very old. He made it himself when he and Zhou Jingzhan went to Jingdezhen together in elementary school. It has been more than ten years.
