Chapter 127 Pocket Money
When Chi Xia was standing there wondering whether he should make amends for his shame, Luo Xun's message popped up on the screen of his cell phone.
"Are you awake? I asked Lao Chang to approve a few days of sick leave for you. If you want to go find Tu Guolin, I'll take my annual leave at the same time."
Chi Xia looked at the message for a long time, thought about it and replied: OK...
Seeing that she replied, Luo Xun called her directly.
Chi Xia picked up the phone and heard him teasing, "Hey, Officer Chi is sober now? Is this still a little awkward?"
Chi Xia laughed dryly twice: "Yes, a little bit, Captain Luo, good morning."
"Officer Chi, it's not too early. By the way, there's some honey water on your bedside table. Have you had it?"
"Drank it." Chi Xia lied.
Luo Xun hummed, and then asked her: "Do you have time today? If you do, come with me to the sanatorium to see Zheng Lanshu."
Chi Xia walked towards the bedroom, saw the water on the cabinet, and looked at the time again: "I won't be able to make time until the afternoon. I have to meet two people in the morning and send them to the airport."
"All right."
Luo Xun murmured, "Let's talk about it this afternoon. Just let me know when you are free."
"good."
Chi Xia hung up the phone, drank the honey water, and couldn't help smiling while washing the cup.
Luo Xun, Luo Xun.
She brushed her teeth and wet one hand with water, writing his name on the mirror.
After washing up, Chi Xia went out to meet Gui Lai and Dr. Qiu.
After returning, they went to a quiet teahouse. When Chi Xia entered, Dr. Qiu was looking through the test results in front of him with a serious face.
She was startled and looked at Gui Lai, asking herself whether she needed to activate the defense system.
Before Gui Lai had time to receive the information, Dr. Qiu's nose twitched twice and he glanced at him with sharp eyes.
Chi Xia immediately ran over to flatter him, and said with an apologetic smile: "It's not that you guys are here, I'm happy, I had a couple of drinks last night."
"You're glad we're here, so why don't you join us for a drink and have one yourself?"
Guilai joked, poured tea for Mr. Qiu, and winked at Chi Xia.
No need to open, temporarily safe.
Chi Xia breathed a sigh of relief, pulled a chair and sat down: "Doctor Qiu... am I quite obedient?"
Doctor Qiu's expression had never been calm since he received the test results. Only when Chi Xia asked him this did he slightly raise his brows.
"Well, it's not bad, but I've told you many times that your memory is best restored naturally rather than relying on stimulation. The current situation is just a matter of preventing it from getting worse while inevitably harming your body."
Doctor Qiu looked at her and said, "It doesn't mean that your body has not been affected at all. Do you know what this means? You understand the Chinese characters, right? Do you want me to repeat it to you in English?"
Chi Xia nodded obediently: "No need... I understand..."
Doctor Qiu didn't believe him. His eyebrows knitted again: "Xiao Gui told me that you had two consecutive attacks recently. If he didn't tell me, you wouldn't tell me, right?"
Chi Xia immediately explained: "Not at all! And I really didn't use the medicine indiscriminately this time... It came all of a sudden, I was also shocked..."
Doctor Qiu summarized the test results and said, "Okay, stop making it up. This is a good thing on one hand, but it is very dangerous."
"What?" Chi Xia was very curious at this time.
"When you are sick, you must not try to hold on by yourself. There must be someone to take care of you," said Dr. Qiu.
Gui Lai raised his head and said, "Don't worry about this. Someone is taking care of it. We have arranged it."
Chi Xia was confused: "Who? How come I don't know?"
Gui Lai said with certainty: "You know."
"I really don't know." Chi Xia said seriously.
Gui Lai was not convinced and handed her Luo Xun's photo: "You say you don't know?"
Chi Xia almost choked on her tea: "You guys are relying on your numbers to bully me because I am small, right?"
Doctor Qiu didn't care about her and asked Guilai: "Who is he? Let me see, is he handsome? What is his family background? What is his job? Is he a good person?"
Guilai handed over the phone: "It's okay, Xia Xia's boss, compared to me, um... maybe a little worse."
Dr. Qiu glanced at him and said nothing.
Chi Xia glanced at him and pursed her lips.
Guilai rolled his eyes at the two of them and angrily drank a cup of strong tea.
"Take advantage of it, it will be okay if you look at it."
Dr. Qiu said earnestly: "You are not young anymore, don't keep holding on to one thing. When you reach my age, you will know that some things are best left to nature, and you should enjoy life while you can."
"What are you talking about..."
Chi Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why don't you just scold me, otherwise I always think you will complain when you go back."
Doctor Qiu sneered, which made Chi Xia feel cold on his back: "No way, how old are you and you're still complaining?"
"How badly have I treated you that you have become a masochist at such a young age?"
Doctor Qiu drank the tea and became serious. "Anyway, there is one more thing you need to remember. You must control the use of the medicine I brought you this time. You cannot use it every time. You cannot become dependent on this thing. As your memory gradually recovers, you must get rid of it."
"Okay." Chi Xia took the medicine and said, "You really won't stay for two more days?"
"Mr. Qiu is going to attend a meeting abroad. As for me, this trip has taken up two days of my vacation. I have to go back to accompany my wife. You should be content."
Gui said as he handed her a box: "You can use these things as you like. They are all new products and haven't come out on the market yet. Didn't you say that you have someone at home? Use whatever you can."
"It's okay. I upgraded the door lock equipment."
Chi Xia suddenly thought of something: "Doctor Qiu, have you tested the medicine that Senior Sister brought back? Is there anything different?"
"No."
Doctor Qiu shook his head: "The other party should have only taken a small part for research. The remaining drug ingredients have not changed at all. However, for safety reasons, that batch of drugs has been destroyed. We still have to be careful in the future."
Chi Xia thought for a moment: "Well, I know, I will be more careful."
When the time came, Chi Xia had lunch with them and then sent them to the airport.
Before going through security check, Dr. Qiu took advantage of the time to go to the bathroom and pulled Chi Xia aside. He stuffed a card into her hand and said with a twinkling look: "Here, hold the flowers."
"Don't forget, I have a big villa in Dongzhou, how could I be missing this?"
Chi Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I have enough flowers and I'm not short of money. Lao Qiu, if you really want me to feel at ease, take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back to see you."
"Pocket money, just take it if you give it to me!"
Doctor Qiu stuffed the card into her hand with a fierce face and said, "You should tell yourself to take care of yourself. Although I am older than you, I take good care of you. Do you hear me?"
“I heard it…”
Chi Xia nodded, and her nose suddenly felt a little sore.
Since she fell ill five years ago, Mr. Qiu took over her treatment. Their interactions usually consisted of Mr. Qiu scolding her and she occasionally talking back, and Mr. Qiu scolding her and she dared not talk back.
The more the two quarreled, the happier Mr. Qiu became.
She once thought that Mr. Qiu was a masochist.
Later, Chi Xia learned from Jiang Yi that Mr. Qiu had a granddaughter who was about the same age as her. She was very similar to her in character in all aspects. She was a war correspondent, but she never came back after an accident.
When Chi Xia came back from Qincheng, Mr. Qiu gave her a card just like this time, and said it was pocket money.
"Okay, take it, I'm leaving."
Seeing Gui Lai coming out, Mr. Qiu slapped Chi Xia's hand away, went straight into the security check, and never looked back along the way.
Chi Xia held the card in her hand, her nose felt sore and she almost cried.
"Tsk, are you taking pocket money again?"
Guilai came over and teased her, then took out a stack of cards and stuffed them into her hands: "Brother gave this to you, don't be embarrassed."
Chi Xia took a look and saw that he didn't know where he got it from, but it was a stack of shopping cards from a large supermarket in Dongzhou.
"This is a good thing. It's very economical to give it as a gift."
Returning, he took credit for himself: "Three thousand dollars each, do the math yourself, am I being sincere to you?"
"That's too much." Chi Xia was shocked: "Where did you get it? Did you buy it with money?"
"It's all thanks to Guoguo. Even though he's young, he's richer than me."
Gui Gui checked the time and said, "Take it. Get along better with your colleagues. Time is up. We have to leave. I'll see you next time."
"Um."
Chi Xia's eyes were hot and her nose was sore, her eyes were a little wet. She didn't like this kind of farewell scene, but the path she had chosen seemed to have to go her separate ways with them.
"Your head is spinning again." Guilai flicked her head hard, then jumped forward and entered the security checkpoint.
She took a deep breath and held back the tears that had just come out.
Seeing their figures disappear at the security checkpoint, she turned around and left the airport.
After she left, on the second floor of the airport lobby, a woman wearing sunglasses looked in the direction she left and smiled playfully: "Chi Xia, it's been a long time."
