Chapter 24: See You Again 1
Lu Qian stayed in Hengxiang Pavilion for another three days.
Because she had to take medicine every day, she was not awake for very long. Even her meals were warmed up for her by Ma Fei and brought to her room when she woke up.
Occasionally Qu Le and Sui Tang would come to see her, sometimes with Jiang Luan and sometimes with Luo Chuan.
But Lu Qian never saw Cheng Yi when he was awake, as if this person had disappeared in Hengxiang Pavilion.
"Le Le," Lu Qian huddled in the corner of the bed, looking at Qu Le who was sitting at the table, "Do you think your brother is deliberately avoiding me?"
Qu Le swung his long legs and scratched his ears nonchalantly, "Who knows him?"
Lu Qian buried her face in her knees, her brows furrowed tightly.
Cheng Yi hasn't come to her to change the dressing these days, and she doesn't know how the wound on his waist is doing.
Cheng Yi saved her twice that night, but she still hadn't thanked him.
And I was really scared that day. Her attitude towards Cheng Yi seemed a bit hurtful...
After all, he is my lifesaver.
Qu Le picked up the apple at hand, took out a knife from his waist, cut it in half neatly, jumped off the table and walked in front of Lu Qian.
"Here, eat an apple and don't think too much."
Lu Qian forced a rather unnatural smile and took the apple. "But I'm leaving tomorrow, so I have to thank him in person."
But Cheng Yi didn't seem to want to see her...
Jiang Luan gave Lu Qian the last dose of medicine last night, and Lu Qian's body has basically recovered completely.
Although Sui Tang was still trying to keep her, Lu Qian said she didn't want to bother him anymore.
Qu Le took a bite of the apple and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Back to school," Lu Qian answered without hesitation, "It's cheaper to live in the dormitory."
Qu Le raised her eyebrows in sudden realization. Dormitory, this thing was still a little unfamiliar to her.
"So what are you going to do next?"
"I haven't thought about it yet," Lu Qiansichen said, "I'll just work part-time and study until I graduate. Once I graduate, I should be able to find a job."
Qu Le rolled his eyes and suggested, "Why don't you come find Sui Tang after you graduate? He'll definitely be able to settle you down."
Lu Qian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I don't want to come back."
Let this place remain in my memory with my mother.
Qu Le narrowed his eyes and gave an unfathomable smile, "Does that mean we can only meet again if fate allows?"
Lu Qian looked up, studied Qu Le's face, and nodded reluctantly, "It seems so."
Lu Qian has been staying in different places since he was a child and could not stay long in any place, so he has almost no friends.
These days, I have talked a lot with Qu Le without realizing it. I don’t know what Qu Le thinks, but Lu Qian probably already regards her as a friend in his heart.
Qu Le threw the apple core in his hand high into the trash can accurately and walked towards the door.
"Rest up, I'll have Brother Tang take you there tomorrow morning."
Lu Qian replied with a light "hmm".
Qu Le walked to the door and deliberately slowed down his pace.
"Top floor conference room," Qu Le held onto the door frame and turned his head slightly, "Cheng Yi should be there."
"Huh?"
"Do you want me to take you there?"
Lu Qian was slightly stunned, then smiled gratefully, "No need, I'll go by myself."
Lu Qian walked up the stairs, one step at a time.
There is an elevator in Hengxiang Hall, but Lu Qian always feels that the elevator goes up too fast, so fast that she can't control her mood at all.
He walked slowly to the door of the conference room. The door was half-open, and Lu Qian glanced inside like a thief.
She saw Cheng Yi sitting calmly on a white leather sofa, surrounded by a group of handsome men who were so impressive that they could shock anyone standing alone.
But they gathered around Cheng Yi respectfully, and no one could tell there was anything wrong.
Instead, I sincerely feel that this arrogant, king-like man deserves such supporters.
Qi Huang and Ling Shuo had already noticed Lu Qian hiding furtively by the door.
The two turned around and looked at Luochuan. Luochuan closed his eyes slightly and didn't say much.
If they had discovered it, with Cheng Yi's hearing and alertness, they would have discovered it long ago.
Lu Qian swallowed, as if to give himself courage, and hesitantly knocked on the half-open door of the conference room.
“Dangdang.”
When she heard the knock on the door, everyone in the room looked at her, and Lu Qian couldn't help but shiver.
She hunched her shoulders and took two steps forward, standing in front of Cheng Yi.
"Um, Cheng Yi, come with me."
But she didn't dare to look up at Cheng Yi. She just lowered her eyes to the ground and held the bag in her hand nervously.
The people behind him breathed heavier in fear, including Luo Chuan's peach-like face, which also drooped a little.
This woman is ordering them to be in charge?
Cheng Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and moved his cold eyes towards Lu Qian.
Then he made a move that was even more confusing to the group.
Cheng Yi stood up, brushed past Lu Qian, and strode out of the meeting room.
Sui Tang sat crookedly on the sofa next to him, with an indescribable evil smile on his lips. As Cheng Yi walked away, the smile grew bigger and bigger until his breath was tainted with the smile.
Qi Huang and Ling Shuo looked at each other in surprise again. They were indeed awake, right?
Are you dreaming?
No, this is more absurd than a dream.
Even Jiang Luan, who had been keeping his head down, lowered his glasses a bit, revealing dark circles under his eyes like pandas, and his gaze followed Cheng Yi away.
Lu Qian trotted to catch up with Cheng Yi until they reached a hidden corner behind the conference room door.
Cheng Yi stopped and said casually, "What's the matter?"
"I just wanted to thank you for saving me that day..."
Cheng Yi replied coldly: "No need."
"..." Lu Qian's throat choked, and these two words made him hold back everything he was about to say.
Cheng Yi looked at Lu Qian's gradually red face, his expression did not ease at all, and remained cold.
"Anything else?"
"Yes, yes," Lu Qian nodded, "It's just that wound of yours. The dressing still needs to be changed, but I'm leaving tomorrow... I'm afraid no one here can help you."
Lu Qian still didn't dare to look at Cheng Yi, but just lowered his head and muttered hesitantly.
"I made you some gauze dressings," Lu Qian raised the bag, which was almost sweating in his hand, and presented it to Cheng Yi. "Don't worry, I've packed them in sterilized bags. When you're done changing the dressing, just apply them directly to the wound."
"It's not a huge amount, but your injury will probably heal after using up all this replacement gauze."
Lu Qian's heart was still pounding as she spoke. She couldn't hear her own words, and her eardrums were filled with the beating of her heart.
"You called me here just to tell me this?"
Cheng Yi did not take the bag from Lu Qian's hand, but questioned him in a stiff tone.
The tone of voice made Lu Qian's skin tingle. If she were a furry animal, her fur would have stood on end.
"Ah...um, I thought you might not want to be seen by them, so..."
"Redundant."
“…”
Lu Qian also felt that she had done unnecessary things. A man like Cheng Yi didn't need her to worry about these things at all.
"I'm sorry..."
Before he could even utter the word "start", the bag in Lu Qian's hand was ripped open with great force.
Cheng Yi didn't say a word, took the bag and walked back with his long legs.
Lu Qian lowered his hands as if relieved.
I didn't make him angry and thanked him nicely, so the result was pretty good.
She looked inside the door with some reluctance, then quietly walked away.
Seeing Cheng Yi coming back, Sui Tang showed an amused look on his face.
"Every day I go to watch her secretly while she's asleep. She comes here on her own and drives her away with a cold face," Sui Tang shook his head slightly, "Tsk tsk tsk tsk."
“Swish——”
As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp blade flew straight towards Sui Tang. Sui Tang smiled and leaned to the right, dodging it perfectly.
"If you don't want the tongue anymore, I can do it for you."
Cheng Yi's indifferent voice floated out faintly.
"Tyrant," Sui Tang said jokingly, holding a cigarette in his mouth, "you always want to cut off people's tongues."
