Chapter 26 The injury was too small, I forgot
Based on her experience these days, the only person who could knock on her door is her neighbor.
Zhu Wendong came out of the study and opened the door.
The man held two unlit table lamps in his hands, staring at her intently, and said calmly, "You didn't install the batteries."
That's impossible. She installed all the batteries when she bought it a few days ago. She installed them all by herself.
Zhu Wendong reached out to take the desk lamp, opened the battery compartment at the base, and found it was indeed empty.
Without thinking, she said, "Wait a moment, I'll get you two more."
She walked back to the study and took two more lamps from the bookshelf, making sure they had batteries before giving them to him.
Qi Yanxue looked at the two new table lamps in her hands, and the corners of his mouth twitched. "Why do you have so many lamps in your house?"
Zhu Wendong said slowly, "I don't like to use a big lamp when I write books. I just like to use a small lamp, so I bought a few more."
Qi Yanxue had no way to refute, so he took the two bright desk lamps and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment." Zhu Wendong called him, hesitated for a moment, and murmured, "Do you want to treat the wound on your hand?"
It was too dim to see clearly just now, but now the light was so bright that the scarlet burns on his hands were clearly visible, which was shocking.
Qi Yanxue lowered his head and glanced at his index finger, which was not even considered an injury to him. He raised his eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Okay."
Zhu Wendong moved aside to make way for him and pointed at the sofa. "Sit on the sofa and wait for me."
Qi Yanxue was wearing her home shoes and didn't need to change. She walked straight in and sat on the sofa in her house without any hesitation.
Zhu Wendong's home and his home are decorated in two completely opposite styles. Her home is warm and comfortable like a princess's castle, and there is indeed a small glowing castle built in the corner of the corridor wall.
He sat on the warm-toned sofa in her house, which was in stark contrast to her temperament.
Zhu Wendong took the medical kit and squatted beside him. "It might hurt a little, just bear with it."
Qi Yanxue didn't say anything, his eyes fell on her long eyelashes like butterfly feathers. Her eyelids were also very thin, and the blood vessels flowing on them could be vaguely seen. Her skin was as white as the tender flesh of lychee, and it was so delicate that it could be broken by a touch.
They were close enough that he could smell the fresh fragrance from her bath, like the scent of white camellia blooming in winter.
A cool feeling slid across the backs of my fingers, and the smell of iodine filled the air.
Qi Yanxue didn't even frown.
Zhu Wendong held the cotton swab and rubbed it around the back of his hand a few times, then picked up a Band-Aid and put it on him.
I saw the small scar between his index and middle finger. It was shallow but the mark was deep, as if it was quite old.
Zhu Wendong couldn't help but ask, "Why do you have a scar here?"
Qi Yanxue turned his gaze away from her face, glanced lightly between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and said indifferently: "The injury is too small, I forgot about it."
Zhu Wendong didn't ask any more questions and put the bandage on him tightly.
Although the cute yellow cartoon Band-Aid looked a bit out of place on his thin and slender hand, it was fine as long as it could be used. After all, she didn't have any plain ones at home.
Zhu Wendong put away the medical kit and put it back under the TV cabinet.
When I turned around, I found Qi Yanxue frowning and looking at the pattern on his hand with disgust. What is this thing? It's so ugly.
Zhu Wendong said helplessly: "This is the only one I have at home. If you don't like it, change it tomorrow."
Qi Yanxue lowered his hands in disappointment. Out of sight, out of mind. He stood up and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly asked in a calm voice.
"Was he nice to you in California?"
It is very light and subtle, as if it is blown by the wind.
Zhu Wendong was standing behind him and didn't quite hear: "What?"
Qi Yanxue suddenly felt a little dull and left a sentence without even turning his head.
"Forget it. I don't want to know."
It was a bit of a gap to step into the darkness of my own home from the bright and clear place she lived in.
Qi Yanxue walked into the darkness with two lamps in his hands without turning them on. There was a piece of melted wax on the entrance cabinet and the candlelight had been blown out long ago.
He calmly pressed the switch in the living room, and the light suddenly became as bright as day, dazzling.

The next day, at the president's office of Qi Group.
Secretary Qin held a stack of documents in his left hand, with a box of medical band-aids on top of the documents. He knocked on the door of the president's office.
"Mr. Qi, this is the document you need to sign today," Secretary Qin placed the document in front of him and pointed to the box on top. "That's the band-aid you asked for."
Qi Yanxue leaned back on the high-end leather chair with her chin supported by her hand, staring out the floor-to-ceiling window in the distance, and when she heard any movement, she just glanced at it.
"Leave it there."
After Qin Mi found out that nothing happened, he left on his own. His eyes involuntarily caught a glimpse of his boss's right hand.
There was a cartoon Band-Aid on it.
It really doesn't match her temperament, and it's even a bit awkward. You can tell at a glance that it's something only girls have.
Last time it was a tooth mark, this time it was a Band-Aid.
It looks like this workaholic boss has finally welcomed his spring when winter is approaching.
Qin Mi, who was usually meticulous, had a hint of an aunt's smile on his face.
A colleague was about to go into the president's office to report on his work. When he saw him, he asked, "Secretary Qin, how is President Qi feeling today?"
Secretary Qin immediately put away his smile and put on a serious face, "It looks okay."
Being okay means being neutral, which means being moody, and this is the most difficult time to deal with.
The colleague turned around and left without hesitation, "Then I'd better go back later."
-
In the office.
Qi Yanxue sat up, turning the Band-Aid box with his fingers intermittently. After a while, he took out a piece.
He prepared to tear off the annoying Band-Aid on his hand and tore off a corner of it.
Stopped again.
After a few seconds, the sunlight slanting in from the window moved a little distance.
He loosened his grip and stuck it back in its original place.
Never mind, it looks pretty good.
At this moment, the office door was suddenly opened, and only a few people came in without knocking.
"Qi Yanxue, I have brought you a shocking piece of news."
Qi Yanxue put away the box of Band-Aids as if nothing had happened. Without even raising his eyes, he knew who the person was.
Chess player Lu Guan slapped his hand on the table and said, "Come on, follow me to the imperial capital."
"No, I'm working." Qi Yanxue didn't look at him and opened the documents on the table.
"It's okay if you don't go. I'm telling you," Lu Guanqi sat down opposite him and began to speak listlessly, "Zhou Sian was dragged away on a blind date by her mother!"
Qi Yanxue acted as if he hadn't heard it and picked up the pen to sign.
Lu Guanqi added, "For families like ours that own a family business, marriages are usually arranged. Why would Zhou Si'an need to go on a blind date? Can you guess why he went on a blind date?"
Qi Yanxue has already opened the next file.
Lu Guanqi also sang happily as he performed his solo performance, "That's because the girl on the blind date is the one Zhou Si'an likes. He was afraid that she would not like the marriage, so he specially arranged this blind date to let her slowly accept it."
"How affectionate and gentlemanly."
"Are you in love?" Qi Yanxue asked suddenly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? My sexual orientation is normal." Lu Guanqi glared at him. "Why haven't I heard that Zhou Si'an has someone he likes before? I really want to know who it is."
"You don't eat the whole melon?"
"I want to eat it too, but the problem is that I can't get any information out of him. Even Zhou Jinxiu doesn't know who he is, so how can I possibly know?"
Seeing his lack of interest, Lu Guanqi asked curiously, "Qi Yanxue, aren't you curious?"
Qi Yanxue was indifferent: "I'm not interested in other people's affairs."
