"Qiqi, what do you mean? That's not what I meant before."
The way her eyes darted around gave Qi Jiu a headache.
Feelings are not something she can control, and other people's affections are not worthless. It seems it's time to make things clear.
The girl glanced at Ninglan, who was standing silently with her head down, and cleared her throat. "Ninglan, I have a package outside. Could you help me get it? It's downstairs. Thank you."
Ninglan nodded and turned to leave the office.
It was clear that she had deliberately sent Ninglan away, and Xiu Rui felt inexplicably flustered.
"Qiqi..."
"Xiu Rui, perhaps there is someone more suitable than me by your side, don't you think?"
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Jiu interrupted him. He looked up and saw the girl sitting with her legs crossed, looking at him with a smile on her face, as if she were the ruler of the world.
She couldn't control Xiu Rui's feelings, but rather than having a relationship that had no future, it was better to see things clearly sooner rather than later.
After he finished speaking, Xiu Rui opened his mouth, clearly wanting to say something, but he didn't utter a single word for a long time.
The girl chuckled softly at the sight.
"Xiu Rui, do you consider yourself to have a good temper? Do you think there's anyone else in this world who, besides Alan, would be so obedient to you and put you first?"
As she spoke, she shifted forward slightly while sitting in her computer chair.
"Alan has hidden his thoughts very well, but neither of us are ordinary people. You couldn't have missed it, could you?"
There's a thin veil between them, and no one has yet broken through it. If this will help them improve, Qi Jiu doesn't mind being the one to break that veil.
Xiu Rui was taken aback, then nodded, his voice somewhat muffled. "I understand."
Even if Ninglan tried to hide it well, he could still feel it. After all, how could one's feelings be so easily ignored?
"Xiu Rui, to be honest, Alan is a very nice girl. If you can hold onto her, it would be a blessing for you. Are you even a man?"
Emotions can make everyone act abnormally.
Is it more important to like what you like, or to like yourself? This age-old question can seem to cause people to struggle with it for a while.
But given the current situation, liking her is pointless now.
She just couldn't believe that after Alan had been by this brat's side for so long, obeying his every whim, he really hadn't been moved at all.
"Of course I'm a man!"
In the end, Xiu Rui fell silent on the topic, his eyes lowered as if he were deep in thought.
The office suddenly fell silent. After some time, Xiu Rui looked up again, his eyes seeming to hold something more.
With a 'click', the office door was pushed open, and Ning Lan came in carrying a box that was neither too big nor too small.
"Miss Qi, is this it? Where is this package?"
"Just give it to me."
Qi Jiu didn't miss the look Xiu Rui gave Ning Lan when she came in.
She opened the package, which contained the candies and chocolates she used to like. She grabbed a handful and stuffed them into Ninglan's pocket.
“Since there’s nothing else, I’ll take Alan and leave.” Xiu Rui stood up and walked directly to Ning Lan’s side.
Although his eyes were still the same as before, it was clear that he had taken Qi Jiu's words to heart. Now he seemed to be trying to accept them.
Ninglan was the one who didn't react immediately. She looked at the person standing next to her who was acting a little strangely and then looked at Qijiu with a puzzled expression.
But the other person didn't respond; instead, they smiled.
In the very end, Xiu Rui left with Ning Lan.
Qi Jiu didn't know what their final fate would be, but she had done her best.
And she unknowingly walked to the door of Qi Silin's ward.
Pushing open the door, a pleasant fragrance mixed with the smell of medicine wafted out, and the person inside the room was lying on the bed, quietly with their eyes closed.
The little girl walked to the bedside and obediently squatted down beside him, staring at him intently.
"Ah Lin, we've found a cure, but it might take a while. You'll wait for me, right?"
The moonlight shone brightly outside, and the environment was beautiful, but she had no mind to appreciate it.
During the time Qi Silin was in a coma, the International Pharmacist Organization was practically entertaining guests every day, all of whom were Qi Jiu's friends who came to visit.
In the end, they all left after exchanging a few words, and this kind of life lasted for two months.
That day, she looked at the somewhat reserved person in front of her and curled her lips into a smile.
"What, do you think our pharmacist organization would eat you? Looking at you like this, you'd look like we have some kind of ferocious beast here."
For some reason, Lin Wu, as an internationally renowned arms dealer, was respected by others, but every time he saw her, he dared not utter a sound.
Lin Wu shook his head, looking at her as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Having known each other for so long, how could Qi Jiu not know what he wanted to say? She smiled.
"I know it was all a misunderstanding before. With your proud personality, you probably wouldn't admit to liking someone else, but don't worry, I didn't take it to heart."
They did have that rather awkward incident before, but so much time has passed that Qi Jiu naturally wouldn't hold it against them.
Lin Wu stared at her intently, as if he had something to say, but he gave up.
"Qiqi, my friend." Aman, dressed in a white coat and holding the injection device, was heading towards Qi Silin's room.
"Yes, very good friends."
Looking at what he was holding, Qi Jiu already understood what was going on, and didn't say anything to disturb him.
Time passed second by second, and Lin Wu left.
Qi Jiu, who was about to return to her office, stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at Qi Silin's room, and narrowed her eyes slightly.
Just now... did Aman go in and not come back? Has it been a bit too long?
Thinking about it, she lifted her foot and walked towards that room.
I thought something had happened to Ah Lin, but to my surprise, the room was completely empty!
The hospital bed was empty, and even Aman, who had just been holding the medication to inject, was nowhere to be found!
This happened so suddenly that she forced herself to calm down, stepped forward and touched the empty bed, pursed her lips, and a fierce glint appeared in her dark eyes.
It's still warm.
If that's the case, then it proves that Qi Silin isn't far from here.
The murderous intent in her eyes slowly spread. No matter who it was, taking Qi Silin away now had crossed her bottom line!
