Chapter 72 Report
Upon hearing his voice, Zhou Jingzhan couldn't help himself any longer. He complained with grievance and anger: "Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"
"I was afraid that your surgery might be affected, so I didn't dare tell you." Chu Yunqi was worried about his condition. "I hung up the phone and started the video call."
Chu Yunqi's background didn't look like a hotel, and he looked like he was still outside. Zhou Jingzhan asked, "Why haven't you rested yet?"
"I'm socializing. I'll call you when I have time."
Just as Zhou Jingzhan was about to speak, someone on the other side called out "Mr. Chu," and then his phone was turned over, so he could only hear Chu Yunqi responding.
Seeing how hard he worked and how he was causing him trouble, but he really didn't ask for anything excessive, Zhou Jingzhan's conflicted psychology was on the verge of exploding.
In the end, the heartache overwhelmed the dissatisfaction. When the screen resumed, Zhou Jingzhan said, "You go ahead and do your work. I'm going to sleep too."
Chu Yunqi had no choice but to put away his phone and turn around to join the world of fame and fortune.
The next day, Zhou Jingzhan got up on time as usual, had breakfast, and went downstairs.
Then a Cullinan stopped right in front of him, and then he saw Chu Yunqi get out of the car with a serious face.
When Chu Yunqi walked in front of Zhou Jingzhan, the car disappeared in front of them.
Seeing Zhou Jingzhan's lack of reaction, Chu Yunqi flattered him, "Are you still angry? I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
The smell of cigarettes and alcohol on Chu Yunqi was hard to ignore. Zhou Jingzhan frowned and said, "I'm not angry. I'm going to work."
Chu Yunqi followed him into the car relentlessly, and Zhou Jingzhan didn't chase him away.
After a moment, Zhou Jingzhan fiddled with the steering wheel, lowered his brows and said, "Let's not contact each other for the time being."
Chu Yunqi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly tried to make amends, "Stop messing around, I'll come back to accompany you when I'm free."
Zhou Jingzhan believed what he said. The two of them could meet every two or three days, but that would come at the cost of time and energy. He really couldn't bear to see Chu Yunqi's dark circles and stubble caused by running around.
"I'm serious," Zhou Jingzhan paused for a moment before explaining, "You have your own career, but that conflicts with you being with me. I know you're feeling bad, and so am I. Every time I'm apart from you, I'm very sad. When I'm working, all I can think about is you, and that makes both of us very tired. So you should get busy first. When you're done and return to Beijing, we can get along well like before."
Chu Yunqi's throat felt sore, "Jing Zhan..."
"I'm going to be late." Zhou Jingzhan interrupted him in time.
Chu Yunqi left a message saying "Be careful" and got out of the car silently.
Chu Yunqi waited until Zhou Jingzhan's car drove out of sight before he made a phone call: "I'm still at the same place as before, come back and pick me up."
After arriving at the hospital, Zhou Jingzhan completed the meeting and handed over his shift as planned. He then knocked on Ding Xinye's office door, took out the documents from the file bag and placed them on the table. "Teacher, I need your signature on the application materials for the Top Ten Young People."
Ding Xinye complained as he signed: "They submitted it last week, and I begged you so many times that you finally submitted it."
Zhou Jingzhan asked again: "Have you chosen the person for the trip to Shanghai that you told me about last time?"
Ding Xinye tutted his words, "You're not going, Ji Hong came to me to apply long ago."
"I'm fine, just asking." Zhou Jingzhan replied neither seriously nor lightly.
Ding Xinye rolled his eyes at him, losing his patience. "Are you going or not? If you go, I'll tell the organizer to add an extra spot."
"I'll go."
"You damn kid!" Ding Xinye angrily pulled out his phone and began flipping through his contacts, saying, "Hurry up and get down to business. Arrange the surgeries in the next two days."
"OK."
After leaving the office, Zhou Jingzhan breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of relief that he had not felt in a long time.
But that evening, Ding Xinye called him to his office. "I told them that they insisted you talk about the last intrauterine surgery. It's not a bad thing. I agreed for you. Prepare the materials well. Oh, and take Xu Ye with you. I just had lunch with his father at noon and mentioned him."
Zhou Jingzhan had no objection.
Before leaving, Ding Xinye became suspicious again: "Hey, are you and Chu Yunqi having a quarrel?"
Zhou Jingzhan smiled and said, "No, don't worry."
Zhou Jingzhan was extremely busy in the next two days. He even replied very simply to the messages sent by Chu Yunqi, but Chu Yunqi didn't mind at all and was quite conscientious in reporting his itinerary to him.
On Saturday night, Zhou Jingzhan was on duty. He was lying on the bed in the duty room, looking at the message Chu Yunqi sent him in the afternoon, and took the initiative to call him.
"get off work?"
Hearing Chu Yunqi's voice, Zhou Jingzhan rubbed his eyes lazily and replied, "I'm on night duty today. What are you doing?"
"The plane is late and just landed."
"Oh," Zhou Jingzhan thought for a moment and said to him, "I'm going to Shanghai tomorrow night for a forum. I'll be gone for a week, so I might not have time to call you."
No matter how busy he was, he wouldn't be unable to make a phone call. Chu Yunqi knew that he didn't want to pay attention to him, so he didn't bother to argue. He just casually asked, "Who are you going with?"
"Just Ji Hong." Zhou Jingzhan himself didn't care, and was afraid that Chu Yunqi would think too much, so he didn't mention Xu Ye. "What will you do about your recovery if you're on business trips every day?"
"It's okay, Ives is here. He came to Hong Kong with me."
Eves Eves Eves, Zhou Jingzhan felt sour in his heart, but he didn't show it, "That's good."
While the two were talking, Xu Ye happened to call. Zhou Jingzhan explained, "I'll hang up first. Someone's calling."
Then Xu Ye's excited voice appeared next to Zhou Jingzhan's ears: "Teacher Zhou! We are going to Shanghai together tomorrow!"
Zhou Jingzhan was extremely cold: "I know, what's the matter with the call?"
Xu Ye's good mood remained unaffected: "I'll go straight to the hospital to see you after class tomorrow."
"It's okay, I'm hanging up."
The next day came in the blink of an eye. Zhou Jingzhan arranged his work and set off for Shanghai.
After all, he was in his early twenties, so Xu Ye was incredibly energetic. He kept chattering on the plane: "Wow, I haven't been to Shanghai in years. Let's go shopping together after the forum, okay, Teacher Zhou?"
Zhou Jingzhan closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, ignoring him.
"You don't understand this, Xiao Xu? Our Director Zhou is from the south and he's tired of Shanghai." Ji Hong took over his words: "I haven't been there, I'll go shopping with you."
Xu Ye glared at Ji Hong fiercely because he was unromantic, and then the two of them started bickering with each other.
Zhou Jingzhan endured the noise and fatigue and waited until the plane landed at noon. Before getting in the car, Zhou Jingzhan pushed the suitcase to Ji Hong: "You guys go to the hotel first, I'll be there later."
Xu Ye followed Ji Hong into the taxi in a depressed mood.
