Secretary Xiao received a call from Li Zelin and immediately got out of the car to find a pharmacy. Fortunately, there was one not far downstairs. While the pharmacy clerk was getting something for him, he was distracted for a while.
Just now in the car, he actually felt a little regretful. After Mr. Li got out of the car, he walked in a hurry, and he followed him without thinking much. He followed him all the way to the door before he realized that he should not have followed him.
But what's strange is that Li Wan actually lives in such a small apartment, which is really unworthy of her status.
What surprised him even more was the concern that Li Zelin showed for Li Wan.
As Li Zelin's personal secretary, he is the person in the company who has the most contact with his private life. He knows that Li Zelin has always been indifferent when dealing with matters related to his family.
Li Wan had been abroad for four years, and he had always been in charge of reporting. At that time, he didn't realize how much Li Zelin cared about his sister.
But today, when Li Zelin called in the car and no one answered after three calls, his face changed.
…
In a small apartment.
Li Zelin looked at Li Wan.
Her small, white face was pressed against his palm, and her pair of watery little eyes stared at him eagerly.
It seemed as if he was the only person she could rely on in this world.
So pitiful.
This makes people feel soft-hearted.
He wiped away her falling tears with his thumb, then took his hand back and asked calmly:
"Have you had dinner yet?"
Li Wan still shook her head, looking at him with a pair of moist, dark eyes, as if waiting for him to feed her.
Just then there was a knock on the door.
Li Zelin got up and opened the door.
Secretary Xiao stood at the door and handed him the things:
"Boss Li, here are the thermometer and antipyretic medicine."
"Go buy another bowl of porridge." Li Zelin paused, then added, "Add a serving of steamed dumplings."
Last time she was at his house for breakfast, she seemed to enjoy the steamed dumplings.
"Okay." Secretary Xiao nodded, turned around and went downstairs to buy porridge and steamed dumplings.
The mercury thermometer that Secretary Xiao bought should be clamped under the armpit for measurement.
Li Wan didn't think much about it, he just lifted up his collar and put the thermometer in.
Li Zelin didn't have time to avoid it. A flash of snow-white skin passed before his eyes. His heart skipped a beat for no reason. He looked away and stood up: "Where is the water?"
Li Wan said, "It's next to the refrigerator, and the cups are in the cupboard."
Li Zelin walked over, poured himself a glass of water, drank it slowly, and calmed the inexplicable restlessness in his heart.
After finishing the water, he put down the cup, glanced at the countertop, and asked, "Where is the kettle?"
Li Wan was stunned for a moment, then said, "I don't have a kettle here."
"Li Wan" always buys mineral water from the small supermarket downstairs and puts it in the refrigerator to drink ice water.
She didn't put it in the refrigerator, but she didn't have a kettle either.
Li Zelin frowned.
Li Zelin was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was high up in the sky, and the sufferings of the world were too far away from him. Even the places he stepped on every day were very expensive. Although the environment here at Li Wan's place could not be said to be very good, in the eyes of ordinary office workers, being able to rent a single apartment was already a very good condition. But in Li Zelin's eyes, this place was as simple as it could be.
Li Wan said: "Brother, can you pour me a glass of water? I'm so thirsty."
Li Zelin poured a glass of water for Li Wan.
Li Wan felt hot and cold while sleeping, sweated all over, and was a little dehydrated. He picked up the cup and drank it all in one breath.
He returned the cup to Li Zelin a little embarrassedly.
Li Zelin asked: "Do you want more?"
Li Wan shook her head: "That's enough."
Li Zelin casually placed the water cup on the coffee table, raised his wrist to check the watch, and asked, "How long do I need to take the temperature?"
"It should be about time." Li Wan said as he lifted his collar to take out the thermometer from his armpit.
This time, Li Zelin looked away in time and avoided it.
Li Wan took out the thermometer, raised it slightly, turned it twice, and looked at the temperature.
"37.7."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Li Wan was wondering why Secretary Xiao came back so quickly.
Li Zelin had already stood up to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, the people inside and outside met each other.
The person outside the door was stunned for a few seconds after seeing the person inside, and was extremely surprised:
"Mr. Li?"
After seeing clearly that the person standing outside the door was not Secretary Xiao, Li Zelin's eyes fixed.
There are seven or eight hundred employees in the Universal Star head office, and he never pays attention to anyone, but the person in front of him makes him pay attention.
He had seen him and Li Wan sharing an umbrella and eating opposite each other in the cafeteria.
At this time, he came to knock on Li Wan's door.
Li Zelin's face turned visibly colder.
"Brother, who is it?"
Li Wan's voice came from the room.
Yuan Yang heard it clearly.
Big brother?
He looked at Li Zelin in front of him with surprise, and suddenly he realized that the rumors in the company that he had never taken seriously were actually true.
It just looks like they are more than just relatives.
Li Zelin did not respond to Li Wan's question, but looked at Yuan Yang in front of him with cold eyes: "What do you want from her?"
Yuan Yang was a little nervous for a moment. He had done a lot of psychological preparation before coming here, but he never expected to meet Li Zelin.
Thinking that Li Zelin was Li Wan's elder brother, he became even more nervous. He subconsciously worried that he might say something wrong. He raised the thing in his hand:
"I heard that Li Wan went home early from get off work, and I thought she might not have had dinner, so I packed some for her."
Li Zelin then realized that he was holding a plastic bag. He glanced at it calmly and said, "No need, I've asked someone to buy it. Is there anything else?"
As he asked this, he was ready to close the door at any time.
Yuan Yang also noticed it. He pursed his lips and said, "No more."
Li Zelin nodded coldly and closed the door directly.
"Brother? Who is he?" Li Wan asked.
"You knocked on the wrong door." Li Zelin said calmly.
Li Wan: “…”
She clearly heard a voice that seemed to be Yuan Yang's.
"I'll ask Secretary Xiao to find you another house." Li Zelin said.
"Ah?" Li Wan was stunned for a moment.
Li Zelin said, "I will help you pay the rent."
The stunned look on Li Wan's face gradually disappeared, and the expression on her pale face gradually became calm. She looked at Li Zelin and spoke gently:
"Brother, I don't need it."
Li Zelin looked at her and motioned for her to continue.
Li Wan continued, "I can work and support myself. I can only afford the house I live in now, and I don't think there is any need for me to move."
She would never give up herself and obey all his decisions just to please him.
She wants to live well.
For myself in this world.
She has always been clear that the meaning of her existence is not just to complete that so-called mission.
Even though this is the meaning of her existence to the so-called "system", she can still express her own different ideas from it.
"I don't need you to pay for my life." Li Wan pursed her lips, and her pair of dark and bright eyes looked at Li Zelin frankly, strong and fragile: "I just want you to love me."
…
…
…
The room was silent.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s too quiet.
So much so that Li Zelin could hear his own heartbeat being faster than usual.
Li Wan was sitting on the bed, still wearing his clothes, with a pale face, looking at him calmly.
Her voice was also very soft and calm, but it easily disrupted his usually calm thoughts.
An unprecedented strange feeling rose from my heart, churning in my chest.
Something quietly grew from the bottom of his heart. It was something he had never felt before. It was extremely strange and unknown, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a moment.
"Knock knock knock"
A knock at the door broke the silence in the room.
Li Zelin temporarily pulled himself out of that weird mood and said, "I'll go open the door."
This time the person outside the door was really Secretary Xiao.
Secretary Xiao tactfully handed the things to Li Zelin, and cautiously did not look inside: "Boss Li, I bought a bowl of shrimp porridge and steamed dumplings with corn and pork fillings. Do you need anything else?"
Li Zelin took the things he handed over, paused, and said, "Go buy a kettle."
Secretary Xiao was stunned for a moment. Kettle? He suspected that he had heard it wrong, and asked again: "Mr. Li, do you mean to buy a kettle for boiling water?"
Li Zelin hummed.
Secretary Xiao confirmed it and went downstairs to buy a kettle without asking any more questions.
Li Wan heard their conversation and said, "I'll just go buy it next time. Secretary Xiao has already made so many trips."
Li Zelin said calmly: "I pay him a very generous salary every month."
Li Wan: “…”
This person is trying to prove that she doesn't want his money, but are there many people who do?
Li Wan threw back the quilt and prepared to get out of bed.
The two slender and smooth legs under the hem of the nightgown were dazzlingly white.
Li Zelin was dazzled, his eyes darkened: "What are you doing?"
Li Wan looked at him innocently: "Get out of bed and eat first. You should take the antipyretic medicine after eating." As she spoke, she naturally reached into the sleeves of her suit jacket and put on Li Zelin's jacket. Then she sat on the double sofa and patted the sofa next to her: "Brother, come and sit."
The sofa beside him sank, and Li Zelin sat down. He unwrapped the outer packaging bag, even broke open the disposable chopsticks and placed them on the bowl, and took out the spoon and placed it in the bowl: "Eat."
If Secretary Xiao was here at this moment, he would probably be shocked.
It has always been others who serve Li Zelin. When have you ever seen him serve others?
"Thank you, big brother." Li Wan thanked him, tasted a mouthful of porridge, then remembered something and asked, "Big brother, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten." said Li Zelin.
"That's good." Li Wan curled her lips and lowered her head to eat her own.
Li Zelin watched her pouting her lips and blowing the porridge in small sips to cool it down, and he found her a little cute in a strange way.
cute?
Li Zelin was once again shocked by his own strange thoughts.
The word was too unfamiliar to him.
This was a word that had never occurred to him.
But now, seeing Li Wan pouting her lips and blowing air at the porridge, this word appeared in his mind for the first time in his life.
The author has something to say:
Love her quickly!
