Chapter 27 Enjoying the Rain
"Why do you have such a cute Band-Aid on your hand?" Lu Guanqi showed a disdainful expression.
"You didn't even apply medicine to that area when you got a cigarette burn like that before. What kind of injury would you have to go to such lengths to put a Band-Aid on it?"
Qi Yanxue glanced at him and said, "I can put it on if I want."
"Okay, okay." Lu Guanqi suddenly asked, "How's the cooperation with the hospital going?"
“It didn’t work out.”
"You've raised the stakes so high, and you still haven't reached an agreement! Zhu Linbin is really stubborn!"
Qi Yanxue snorted. The cooperation was not concluded, but he did lose some money.
"When I mentioned Zhu Linbin, I thought of Zhu Jianyi," Lu Guanqi said mysteriously, "She kept asking me about your relationship with Zhu Wendong a while ago. I refused to answer, but she finally got the answer."
"I don't know why lately, but whenever he sees me, he hides away, and looks like he's seen a ghost."
Qi Yanxue said expressionlessly, "You should get a lock on your mouth."
“…”
Lu Guanqi was indignant, "She is too cunning!"
Lu Guanqi chatted with him for a few more sentences, and then he was invited to a party in the circle. Before leaving, he pretended to ask Qi Yanxue about it, but was rejected as expected.
He knew that Qi Yanxue was a person who only cared about work all day long and had no fun at all.
Lu Guanqi left decisively, and the president's office finally became quiet.
Qi Yanxue read a few documents. The sky was getting dark. Several deafening roars resounded through the sky, dark clouds rolled in, and thunder roared terrifyingly.
Qi Yanxue raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. It was 5:10 in the afternoon.
She probably doesn't walk the dog anymore at this point.
He withdrew his hand and continued to look at the next document. After looking for a while, he came back to his senses and realized that he had not read a single word.
She wouldn't be stupid enough to walk the dog outside on this day.
Qi Yanxue calmed down, turned to the previous page, and planned to read it again.
Suddenly, a drizzle began to fall outside, and then turned into a downpour. Raindrops as big as beans hit the floor-to-ceiling windows and slowly rolled down.
My heart just can't calm down.
Qi Yanxue closed the file, picked up the suit jacket on the back of the chair, and strode out.
After taking a few steps, he ran into Secretary Qin who was just about to deliver new documents.
Qi Yanxue glanced at him calmly and said, "Put it on my desk. I'll come and see it tomorrow."
After saying that, he walked away, leaving Qin Mi standing there in a daze.
Secretary Qin looked at the time in disbelief. It was only five o'clock in the afternoon.
Mr. Qi actually left early!
Mr. Qi, who worked diligently and conscientiously, unexpectedly left early! !
The sun rose from the west today?!
No, it's raining today and there's no sun at all.

Zhu Wendong never thought it would rain today, so when she was taking Donggua for a walk, she didn't even have an umbrella or hooded clothes.
The rain was coming down so hard that Zhu Wendong had no time to wipe the raindrops off his face and could only use his palm to cover a small area in front of his eyes.
She took her dog and tried to find a place to shelter from the rain.
What a coincidence, I have just walked to the playground of the community, which is full of sports equipment, flowers, plants and trees.
She could only hide temporarily under a big tree with lush branches and leaves. Fortunately, it was just raining and there was no thunder, otherwise she could not hide under the tree.
The surface of the V-neck sweater she was wearing was covered with water droplets, making it heavy, like a wet towel soaked in water.
Zhu Wendong wrung his sweater and rubbed his hair.
A few drops of rain still fell from above her head. As the rain got heavier, she pursed her red lips.
If the rain continues at this rate, it won’t stop for a while.
She had no close friends in this community except a certain financial sponsor, but asking him to send her an umbrella was impossible.
Forget it, let’s wait until the rain stops.
Time passed little by little, the sky turned from overcast to dark, the street lights came on, and the rain became a little lighter, but it was still falling.
Zhu Wendong didn't plan to wait until the rain stopped completely. She walked in the rain, holding the dog and shielding her eyes with her hands.
She had only taken two steps when her head hit something hard, like a solid wall. It hurt so much that she almost saw stars.
She groaned, raised her head a little bit, and her sight slowly moved upwards, becoming clear in front of her.
What caught my eye was that cold and sharp face.
Qi Yanxue's brows were furrowed, his thin lips were pressed into a straight line, and the look in his eyes as he looked down at her seemed to be frozen, frighteningly cold.
There were drops of water hanging on his hair, dripping down, and one drop landed on Zhu Wendong's face.
Zhu Wendong wanted to wipe the raindrops off his face, but when he looked up, he found that the rain had stopped.
wrong.
It wasn't that the rain had stopped, it was that an umbrella was held over her head.
It was the umbrella in Qi Yanxue's hand.
Qi Yanxue held an umbrella in her right hand. The back of her slender jade-like hand was covered in water, and the cartoon band-aids on her fingers were already soaked and curled up at the edges.
He was clearly holding an umbrella, so why was he all wet?
Zhu Wendong lowered his hands from above his head, looked up and asked him, "Why are you here?"
Qi Yanxue said nonchalantly, "Is it not okay for me to come out to enjoy the rain?"
“…”Okay, that’s great.
Zhu Wendong bit her lower lip lightly, "Have you finished viewing it yet?"
"Not yet." Qi Yanxue put his hands in his trouser pockets. His body was wet and uncomfortable everywhere, but he endured the discomfort and said calmly.
"You are so elegant. You come out to walk your dog on a rainy day. And it's my dog."
Afraid that he would misunderstand that he was deliberately criticizing his dog, Zhu Wendong explained: "No, it wasn't raining when I left the house."
"Let's go. If it gets sick, you'll be fined." Qi Yanxue turned sideways and raised his chin towards her.
Zhu Wendong walked beside him, keeping some distance between them, and asked seriously, "Aren't you going to enjoy the rain?"
“…”
Haha, he must be sick to come out to enjoy the rain and get himself wet.
Qi Yanxue said something nonsense casually, "No reward, my dog is more important."
Zhu Wendong kept silent and walked quietly all the way.
Qi Yanxue glanced at the middle and subtly moved the umbrella towards her, not even noticing that her left shoulder was wet.
The rainy night is very dark, as if covered by a dark curtain, boundless. You can't see the end of the sky or the size of the umbrella above your head.
She only vaguely remembered that not a drop of rain touched her along the way, and only the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella proved that the rain was still falling.
The two of them walked in silence all the way to the 23rd floor.
Zhu Wendong handed the leash back to him.
Qi Yanxue took it silently.
After entering the house, Zhu Wendong took a quick hot bath and then made himself a packet of cold medicine.
For some reason, I suddenly thought of the neighbor next door who was enjoying the rain and was soaked all over.
I remember that Qi Yanxue didn't like taking medicine or seeing doctors, and he would just endure it when he was sick, but Zhu Wendong was a person who was used to keeping a medical kit at home.
Once when Qi Yanxue was a freshman, he had a fever and his whole body was burning hot. Physical cooling and fever-reducing medicine didn't work.
But he refused to go to the hospital, and Zhu Wendong was almost worried to death.
Qi Yanxue was still in the mood to joke, "I heard that being hot is very comfortable. This is a rare opportunity, why don't you try it?"
His voice was hoarse from the burn, and the corners of his eyes were red, with a bewitching look.
"You're sick." Zhu Wendong bit her lip, punched him on the chest, and tears fell from her clear, dark eyes.
Qi Yanxue uttered a soft "tsk" sound and wiped away the tear with the back of her finger. "Why are you crying? I'm not dead. I can go."
Zhu Wendong immediately stopped crying and finally carried Qi Yanxue to the hospital.
…
Two crisp knocks on the door brought Zhu Wendong back to his senses.
