Chapter 19

Unlike Qi Zhao, who was a little embarrassed, Gu Ci only looked up when the projector was turned on, and then calmly opened the document Qi Zhao sent him.

I didn't feel embarrassed at all.

The difference between Gu Ci and Qi Zhao was that he first scrolled to the bottom and looked at Qin Zhuo's profile before clicking on several short films directed by him.

Gu Ci looked at things very carefully and attentively, so focused that he forgot that there was Qi Zhao in the room. I also forgot about the pet monitoring I had just opened with my hand.

Qi Zhao, who was originally embarrassed by Gu Ci's mistake, was unconsciously attracted to Xiao Xiao on the surveillance camera while he was quietly enjoying the short film.

Gu Cijia's pet monitoring robot is like a robot that can move around at will. It is not fixed in a certain position, but keeps moving with Xiaoxiao.

It can record all small movements in real time.

Qi Zhao didn't know what brand Gu Ci's pet monitoring device was. The picture quality was comparable to a 4K movie. She could clearly see every hair of the pet.

She saw Xiaoxiao, who was resting in the cat's nest with his eyes closed, standing up first, then falling back with his front paws tensed, and the cat's claws stretched out.

After Xiaoxiao was stunned for a few seconds, he walked to the rice bowl and ate two pieces of cat food. Then she picked up a stuffed carrot toy that was bigger than her body and walked to the balcony.

Xiaoxiao first put down the carrot, and then the whole cat collapsed into a puddle of water on it. He squinted and began to bask in the remaining sunlight.

Qi Zhao couldn't help laughing after witnessing everything.

Xiaoxiao seems to like that carrot very much. You can see a few rubbed balls on the surface of the orange cloth.

It was much older than when she bought it at the pet store.

Qi Zhao looked at Xiaoxiao, whose beard was trembling with pleasure in the surveillance camera, and subconsciously called out: "...Xiaoxiao."

Qi Zhao's voice was very soft, but Xiaoxiao seemed to hear it very clearly.

The little ears twitched, and the originally squinted cat eyes opened instantly. It stood up and looked for the source of the sound with wide eyes.

While Qi Zhao was staring blankly at Xiao Xiaozheng in the screen, Gu Ci happened to finish watching those short films.

"Chu Yunting's nephew, whose surname is Qin?"

Qi Zhao didn't understand why Gu Ci asked such an obvious question in the first sentence after watching the short film, but he still nodded: "Yes, it was Qin who was introduced to me by Director Chu at the beginning." Burning."

Before Gu Ci could say anything, two "bang bang" sounds suddenly came from the projector.

Gu Ci and Qi Zhao looked up at the same time and found that Xiaoxiao had arrived in front of the surveillance camera at some point, raising his paws to attack the camera and meowing anxiously.

Gu Ci frowned slightly, as if he had never seen such a situation before: "It has never been close to the surveillance camera before..."

After Qi Zhao heard Gu Ci's murmur to himself, he was quiet for a moment, and then he called out tentatively. "Xiao Xiao?"

Xiao Xiao, who had calmed down a little while Gu Ci was talking, meowed again when he heard Qi Zhao's voice.

Xiaoxiao did not attack the camera again, but sat in front of the surveillance camera, looked at the camera face to face, and screamed again and again with some grievances.

When Qi Zhao saw that Xiaoxiao had not forgotten him, and might even be missing him, his heart suddenly melted, and his voice became softer: "Do you still remember me?"

The little eyes in the picture were round and staring. Looking at the camera, he tilted his head and said obediently: "Meow~"

At this moment, Qi Zhao seemed to have completely forgotten that there was Gu Ci in the room, staring at Xiao Xiao in the picture without anyone else, with a smile on his face. Ci Ai: "I heard that you had diarrhea a few days ago, are you okay now?"

Although Xiao Xiao cannot understand human language, Xiao Xiao can distinguish human timbres and tones.

Xiaoxiao took a few steps closer to the surveillance camera, raised his paw and carefully pulled the camera twice.

As if he was wondering how such a big Qi Zhao could run into such a small thing in front of him: "Meow?"

Qi Zhao stared at the kitten's face that was distorted due to the close distance, and couldn't hide his laughter at the cuteness of the little kitten. : "You have a bad stomach, so you have to eat well."

Xiaoxiao seemed to understand the word "eat" and said "meow" at the camera, then quickly walked towards his cat bowl.

Qi Zhao saw Xiaoxiao burying his head into the cat bowl first. After Xiaomao's head shook a few times, he returned to the monitor with a bulging mouth.

After Xiaoxiao stood still, he opened his mouth toward the ground, and the cat food transported with his mouth fell to the ground.

There were a few tiny ones stuck in the mouth and I removed them with my paws.

The little girl in the picture has bright eyes, sitting quietly next to the pile of scattered cat food. His eyes were expectant, as if he was sharing his food with Qi Zhao: "Meow--"

Qi Zhao stared at Xiaoxiao in the picture motionlessly, and the feeling of emotion in his heart turned into bitterness the second after.

She only played with Xiaoxiao for a few hours, but Xiaoxiao still remembered her... If she had been forced to stay in this world from the beginning, she would have adopted Xiaoxiao in advance before Gu Ci.

When Qi Zhao was having mixed emotions, a sentence suddenly came from behind him:

"...are you planning to adopt her?"

It was exactly the same as Gu Ci's first words when he met her in the underground garage.

After hearing these words, Qi Zhao came back to his senses instantly. The sourness in his heart disappeared. Instead, he felt speechless: "...Mr. Gu, you have adopted Xiaoxiao. Xiaoxiao is no longer a stray cat."

She gave it up. No matter how much I like Xiaoxiao, I can't go out to Gu Ci's house and steal the cat.

Gu Ci seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, and instantly returned to his usual stern look: "The film and television department can directly invest in Qin Zhuo, but Linchuan will not give in on the subsequent profit sharing."

He instantly switched to work. With Gu Ci in such a good state, Qi Zhao also became more professional: "Okay, Mr. Gu, I will work hard to let Linhe take over all the tasks after the film is released." When

Gu Ci heard the word "Linhe", he was stunned for a moment, and then his eyebrows relaxed. After a few minutes, he lowered his head and said "hmm".

Unlike Gu Ci who was taciturn, the system jumped out like a stubborn monkey: [Oh! It goes up, goes up, goes up again! ! ! ]

Qi Zhao did not respond to the audio that was beating wildly in her head, but took one last look at the surveillance screen.

Seeing that Qi Zhao was still not coming out, Xiaoxiao raised his front paw and pushed the pile of cat food in the direction of the surveillance camera. He picked up the carrot toy placed on the balcony and lay on the side waiting quietly.

Qi Zhao couldn't bear to look any longer, said goodbye to Gu Ci and quickly left the attic.

When we returned to the film and television department floor from the top floor, the employees were already getting ready to get off work. Qi Zhao drove away from the company after finishing the finishing work for today's day in the office.

It was just six o'clock when I got home, which was still early for Ji Yue to go home. Qi Zhao thought for a moment and then opened his phone and sent Ji Yue a message.

[Zhaojiu Plaything: Jiyue, is there anything you want to eat tonight? 】

Ji Yue took ten minutes to reply.

[Ji Yue: I didn’t see the news during training just now, sorry! ]

[Ji Yue: I'm really sorry. Today the coach has decided to come to City C for exchange and study. I may not be able to go home in the next few days. ]

[Ji Yue: I'm really sorry if I've caused you any trouble! 】

Qi Zhao saw Ji Yue apologizing one after another and quickly stopped him.

[Zhaojiu Plaything: Stop, stop apologizing! 】

After Qi Zhao posted this, he was afraid that Ji Yue would misunderstand her meaning and cause internal conflict, so he jokingly posted:

[Zhaojiu Wanwu: I am your neighbor, not a debt collector. Why are you so afraid of me? ]

Ji Yue on the other end quickly denied it.

[Ji Yue: No, I'm not afraid of you. ]

After the words were spoken, Ji Yue seemed to feel that this sentence was a bit abrupt, and quickly added:

[Ji Yue: I mean, you don't look like a debt collector. ]

[Ji Yue: [Quote] It's "you are very", not "you are cruel". ]

[Ji Yue: I'm sorry! The more panicked Ji

Yue became, the more mistakes she made, as if she was trapped in endless self-certification.

Qi Zhao could feel Ji Yue's confusion through the screen. Looking at the panicked Ji Yue, she didn't know why she couldn't help laughing.

[Zhaojiu Wanwu: Okay, I won’t beat you or scold you just because of your words. ]

[Zhaojiu Plaything: Don't be so cautious in front of me. 】

Ji Yue was quiet for a while before replying:

【Ji Yue: I'm sorry. ]

Qi Zhao couldn't help but frown when he saw Ji Yue starting to apologize again: [If you apologize in front of me again, I will ignore you. 】

Ji Yue on the other end became panicked when he saw this sentence. He subconsciously typed "I'm sorry" on the keyboard and only reacted a second before sending it out.

Ji Yue struggled for a long time before sending out one word:

[Ji Yue: OK. 】

Qi Zhaoshu raised his brows and praised him: "That's right. Don't be so frightened. Be a little more confident." 】

Ji Yue responded quickly this time: 【Yeah. ]

Qi Zhao chatted with Ji Yue for a few more words, and then put down his phone after he said goodbye after his rest time was over.

Qi Zhao rummaged through the refrigerator and just when he was sorting out the remaining ingredients and preparing to cook, the system suddenly went crazy again.

[Why has it been promoted again? ! ! ]

Qi Zhao frowned: "What happened? Is this the cabbage core in my hand?"

[No, it's Ji Yue! ! ! 】The system feels that its program is about to collapse, 【Why has Ji Yue's favorability level increased again? ! ! 】

Qi Zhao frowned deeper: "...can the favorability of your game increase even if the two parties are not in contact with each other?"

The system in question seemed more confused than Qi Zhao, the questioner: [Logically speaking, Probably not. 】

When the system started to check his own program, Qi Zhao also opened his mobile phone and started searching.

Although Jiyue never explicitly admitted that he was a figure skater, every word he spoke to him revealed it.

Qi Zhao first turned on his phone and searched for the figure skating training ground in the south of the city that Ji Yue had told her about. The search results only found a place called "Hanying".

After knowing the name of the training ground, Qi Zhao searched again using the arrangement of "Hanying + City C".

Sure enough, there were several reports sent out at three o'clock this afternoon, which looked like departure plans.

Qi Zhao clicked on the picture to enlarge it. Although the team members were all wearing masks, Qi Zhao found that none of the people walking in front was Ji Yue.

She flipped through several more photos from different angles, but still didn't find Ji Yue.

Ji Yue is not a liar, he must be among these people.

...Is it because social fear is hiding behind it?

Qi Zhao suddenly felt a little unfair and sorry for Ji Yue.

Ji Yue's face and figure should occupy the C position in every picture.

She didn't dare to think how many fans Ji Yue would have if she didn't have such low self-esteem and could show her whole face.

After Qi Zhao sighed, he put down his phone and cooked a meal for himself.

She had just finished washing the dishes and had a few sips of wine when her phone on the sofa started vibrating continuously.

Qi Zhao walked over with the wine glass in hand, feeling a little confused:

Who on her phone would call her?

Could it be that Qin Zhuo wanted to talk to her about investment?

...The three provinces of Han seem to be possible.

Qi Zhao picked up the phone and his pupils instantly dilated after seeing the profile picture and notes occupying the center of the screen.

! ! !

Gu Ci? !

Or a video call? !
