Chapter 421 I have a fever
Gui Qing stayed at the music festival too late, so she didn't go out the next day. She stayed at home with Yan Zhici and Xie Yuan for a day, experiencing family life, and then welcomed the workday of the next week.
Gui Qing had just gotten into the car and was about to go out when she received a message in the work group about a morning meeting. A colleague also asked her if she would go to the law firm this week. Gui Qing replied, "I will attend the meeting," and then set off for the law firm.
At 8:50, Gui Qing parked the car in the basement, got out with her bag, and after taking a few steps, she saw Jiang Yuxu waiting not far away.
Seeing his figure, Gui Qing raised her eyebrows.
At that time, Jiang Yuxu also walked towards her, stopped in front of her, and handed her the thing in his hand.
Gui Qing then noticed that he was carrying something.
On the paper bag was the logo of the restaurant she often ate at.
Gui Qing stared at the bag without taking it, so Jiang Yuxu began to explain, "I remember you often ordered sandwiches and lattes from this place."
"Lawyer Jiang has a good memory, thank you." Gui Qing took it generously, "But I had breakfast at home, so I'll save the sandwich for lunch."
Jiang Yuxu: "Have you... eaten at home?"
He remembered that she couldn't cook and usually ate breakfast after she arrived.
Gui Qing seemed to see his confusion and said casually, "Someone is cooking at home."
Jiang Yuxu blurted out: "Who?"
Gui Qing: "Don't you think this question is quite rude?"
Jiang Yuxu: "...I'm sorry."
Gui Qing: "Let's go, I have a lot of work today."
She said this and walked past Jiang Yuxu towards the elevator.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Jiang Yuxu followed her closely and entered the elevator with her.
When the two came out of the elevator together, they happened to run into Xu Yang. When Xu Yang saw this scene, his expression was wrong for a moment, and then quickly returned to normal.
But my heart was in turmoil.
These two people took the elevator together. Did they reconcile?
"Good morning, Assistant Xu." Gui Qing saw Xu Yang and waved to him as usual.
Xu Yang also smiled and nodded at her, "Qing Gong, good morning."
Gui Qing spoke to Xu Yang for a while and then left without chatting with Jiang Yuxu any more. As a result, Xu Yang began to have many questions about their current situation.
Xu Yang also came to the meeting in the morning with this question.
Ten minutes before the meeting, Gui Qing came over with her computer.
Not long after she sat down, Jiang Yuxu and Xu Yang came in one after another.
Gui Qing looked up, but didn't say anything to them. She returned her attention to the screen and continued reading emails.
After a few seconds, a sneezing sound was suddenly heard.
There was also a cough.
"Lawyer Jiang, do you have a cold?" Then, Xu Yang said with concern.
cold?
Hearing these two words, Gui Qing immediately recalled the scene of Jiang Yuxu taking off his clothes in her car that night - he was wet at the time, and she opened the window to let him enjoy the cool breeze for almost ten minutes. Could he have caught a cold at that time?
"It's okay." Jiang Yuxu answered Xu Yang's question as usual, but his tone was very nasal.
Gui Qing hadn't noticed this when the two of them were talking in the basement just now.
"But the tone of your voice isn't right," Xu Yangchao inadvertently raised his voice a few notches, glancing towards Gui Qing. "The flu's been pretty bad lately, Lawyer Jiang, you need to take your medicine right away."
Jiang Yuxu felt that Xu Yang talked too much today and was a little deliberate. He didn't understand what he was up to.
Jiang Yuxu frowned: "Stop talking and prepare the materials for the meeting."
Xu Yang nodded, "Okay, okay."
I was speechless inside - where had Jiang Yuxu's usual intelligence and quick reaction time in court gone? He couldn't even figure out that what he had just said was meant for Gui Qing?
I'm sick. What a good opportunity to play the victim. Act pitiful. Maybe Gui Qing will soften her heart.
At least say a word to show your concern for him.
Hey, so there is a reason why some people stay single for so long.
Just because Jiang Yuxu couldn't understand what Xu Yang meant didn't mean Gui Qing couldn't understand it either.
The tone of Xu Yang's words just now was too abnormal. Gui Qing rolled her eyes and took a look, and immediately understood what he meant - he was talking to her.
However, how did Xu Yang know about her and Jiang Yuxu?
There was no way Jiang Yuxu would tell him, so he could only guess it himself.
Xu Yang has a keen sense of smell and is a shrewd person. He thinks that it is because some of Jiang Yuxu's recent behaviors have been rather abrupt that aroused his suspicion.
Just know it, Gui Qing has a very good mental state and is not panicked at all.
…
The meeting lasted for almost an hour. Jiang Yuxu kept coughing intermittently and his voice was much hoarseer than usual. It was obvious that he was sick and had no energy.
When the meeting was over, many colleagues expressed their concern for him, and Jiang Yuxu nodded to express his gratitude one by one.
Finally, his gaze unconsciously fell on Gui Qing.
Gui Qing just closed her notebook and looked up to meet his eyes.
She didn't hide, but looked at Jiang Yuxu calmly for a few seconds, then picked up the computer and left.
I didn't care about him or ask how he got sick.
Jiang Yuxu looked at Gui Qing's back as she walked out of the meeting room, and couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling a tightness in his chest.
…
Gui Qing had just returned to his workstation and sat down when his phone vibrated twice. A WeChat message came in.
Gui Qing opened it casually and saw the message from Jiang Yuxu.
Jiang Yuxu: [I seem to have a fever.]
Jiang Yuxu: [That night you opened the car window and I caught a cold.]
As expected.
Just now, when she was ignoring him in the conference room, she was prepared to receive his WeChat message. She thought he would have to hold it in for a while, but it came as soon as she turned around.
Gui Qing: [If you are sick, go to the doctor. Why would you come to me?]
Jiang Yuxu: [You didn't talk to me just now, I thought you were angry.]
laugh.
Gui Qing laughed, threw her phone aside, and didn't reply to his message - she didn't actually do anything excessive, at most she was just returning the favor for his previous attitude towards her.
This is what Jiang Yuxu did when she was sick before.
Gui Qing was not used to the climate of North City. He was barely okay when it rained a lot in the summer, but when winter came, all kinds of problems came.
During her first winter in the north city, she was tortured by the dry climate, causing itchy skin, daily nosebleeds, and was also infected with influenza A.
Gui Qing has a good physical condition and seldom gets sick. For someone who doesn't get sick often, getting sick once is really terrible, as he suddenly gets a fever of almost 40 degrees.
As a last resort, she had to take a temporary leave and rest in the apartment.
When I was feeling the most miserable, Jiang Yuxu called me.
She might have been out of her mind at the time. When she saw his call, her first reaction was to wonder if he was calling to check on her health.
When I'm sick, these kind of pretentious thoughts always pop up.
As a result, as soon as he picked up the phone, Jiang Yuxu talked to her about work in a rapid-fire manner.
She didn't listen at all. After he finished speaking, she reminded him weakly: "Lawyer Jiang, I have a fever. It's 39.5 degrees."
Jiang Yuxu said sternly, "Remember to give us your feedback on the revisions."
