Chapter 32

Qi Zhao had been focusing on Xiaoxiao just now, but now he felt hungry while sitting in the car.

When Qi Zhao was debating whether to eat out or go home, he turned on his phone and looked at the time and found that it was just after seven o'clock.

After thinking for two seconds, she unlocked the screen and sent Ji Yue: [Are you training? 】

Ji Yue seemed to be resting and returned quickly.

[Ji Yue: There is no training yet. I just finished my meal and was about to go. 】

Qi Zhao saw that Ji Yue had already eaten, so he decided to eat some outside.

After fastening his seat belt, Qi Zhao sent Ji Yue: [Okay, then train well. ]

Qi Zhao was about to turn off his phone and drive out, but the dimming screen was suddenly awakened by a message from Ji Yue.

Ji Yue, who has a sensitive personality, keenly sensed something was wrong at this moment and asked.

[Ji Yue: Does sister want to see me for something? ]

Qi Zhao originally didn’t want to tell Ji Yue about this, for fear of burdening him. But after seeing the word "sister" on the screen, Qi Zhao felt a little shaken.

After two seconds of silence, Qi Zhao still told Ji Yue the truth: "It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you had eaten." If I don’t have anything to eat, I’ll go buy some food and cook some at home. 】

Maybe it was because he had just visited Xiao Xiao, when Qi Zhao was chatting with Ji Yue, he inexplicably thought of the days when he could only rely on energy bars to satisfy his hunger.

The doctor said that a bad mood would affect appetite, so Qi Zhao thought that it would be more delicious for two people to eat together than alone.

Maybe Qi Zhao didn't realize it herself, but she seemed to have transferred the empathy that she couldn't place into Xiao Xiao's emotions to Ji Yue.

Ji Yue began to apologize subconsciously after seeing Qi Zhao's explanation.

[Ji Yue: I didn’t train much today, so I had an early meal. I’m really sorry! ]

[Ji Yue: I didn’t know you wanted to cook at home, I’m sorry sister...]

Qi Zhao couldn’t help laughing after seeing Ji Yue’s two messages in a row: [It’s a good thing that you can eat on time, why do you want to follow me? Apologize? ]

[You don’t need to apologize when you reject others, you only need to apologize when you do something wrong. 】

But Ji Yue seemed to equate "rejecting Qi Zhao" with "doing something wrong", but Ji Yue was afraid that Qi Zhao might hate herself if the discussion continued like this, so she finally replied:

[Ji Yue: I know. Yes, sister. ]

After Qi Zhao received Ji Yue's reply and said goodbye to him, he found a small restaurant to fill his stomach.

Qi Zhao went back to his room to rest for a while, and after seeing the out-of-place large black windbreaker in the closet, he stared at it motionless for several minutes.

After a while, Qi Zhao stood up and hung the black windbreaker in a conspicuous place in the living room.

She had to remind herself that she still had this windbreaker at home, otherwise the opportunity coupon would not be effective enough if she kept it for a long time.

After all, would anyone ask a guy out using a piece of clothing that has been sitting at home for a month?

This is a bit too deliberate and stiff.

When Qi Zhao was thinking about the right time to return the windbreaker to Qin Zhuo, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Qi Zhao frowned, wondering who would come to her.

When Qi Zhao walked to the door and opened it, the first thing he saw was a pair of beautiful, clear eyes.

Qi Zhao was a little confused when he saw the person coming: "Ji Yue? Why are you here?"

The tips of Ji Yue's ears were cherry pink, and sweat hung from the bangs on her forehead.

He lifted up the things in his hands and looked at Qi Zhao with some embarrassment: "Tonight, what happened tonight..."

Qi Zhao looked down and saw Ji Yue holding a piece of pink strawberry cake. Judging from the outer packaging, it should be the same as Qi Zhao's. The cake I gave him when I met Jiyue for the first time was bought in the same store.

Qi Zhao was pleasantly surprised and felt pity when he saw Ji Yue who seemed to have done something wrong and wanted to apologize.

Qi Zhao's voice unconsciously softened, as if he was communicating with Xiaoxiao at the pet hospital: "Ji Yue, I told you to eat well and don't apologize."

Qi Zhao said jokingly because he was afraid that Ji Yue would feel restrained. : "Didn't you say you wanted to call me sister from now on? Why are you so polite to me?"

Hearing this, Ji Yue quickly shook her head and explained: "No, no, you're not polite."

"This is not an apology, but a thank you. Thank you before. Treat me to cake, and thank you for helping me in the gym..."

Ji Yue's ears became redder and redder, and her voice became softer and softer.

But he didn't look away for a moment, and kept staring at Qi Zhao's eyes, somewhat stubbornly trying to prove that what he said was true.

Ji Yue, who rarely showed her heart, expressed her gratitude so directly at this moment. Qi Zhao was stunned for two seconds before he responded with a smile.

She took the cake from Ji Yue's hand, her eyes became serious and she replied: "Okay, I understand."

Ji Yue relaxed and smiled when she saw her taking the cake. When she was about to say something, her eyes flashed. Turning around, without warning, I saw the very eye-catching black windbreaker hanging on the wall of the living room.

[Stop just looking at the cake and look at Ji Yue! His favorability dropped again! ! 】

Qi Zhao's head suddenly heard the system's anxious voice.

Qi Zhao quickly raised his head and saw Ji Yue's eyes falling on a point behind him.

Qi Zhao looked back and found that the black windbreaker was completely ruined.

Damn it, how could she forget this? !

Before Ji Yue could look away, the system's voice kept echoing in her mind.

Qi Zhao felt like the player in the parkour game who was being chased all the time.

Her mind was racing, and she quickly explained: "Ah, I just got that windbreaker from the dry cleaners to return to my colleagues tomorrow. The owner of the dry cleaners said it would get wrinkled easily when folded, so I hung it in the living room first."

Ji Yue came back to her senses when she heard the voice, her eyes fell on Qi Zhao and she reacted for two seconds before closing her eyes again: "Yes, I know. Windbreakers are difficult to take care of. Sister, you don't need to explain to me."

Ji Yue said obediently . Nodding, looking very understanding.

But the system's constant notification of a decrease in favorability betrayed him ruthlessly.

【Ah ah ah ah ah! Ji Yue’s favorability is leaking out! ]

Qi Zhao was unable to react for a moment when faced with Ji Yue who had such a huge contrast, and his somewhat stupid mind could not think of a response plan.

By the time she found her voice, Jiyue had already begun to say goodbye to her.

"It's getting late, so I won't disturb my sister's rest." Just

when Qi Zhao was about to ask her to stay, Ji Yue spoke before her, as if deliberately blocking her words: "Good night, sister."

Forced. Qi Zhao, who had closed his eyes, just watched Ji Yue's back leave.

After Ji Yue left, Qi Zhao closed the door, leaned against the door and stared straight at the black trench coat facing her.

He frowned, very puzzled.

...Ji Yue, are you jealous again?

Qi Zhao couldn't believe that the gentle and gentle Ji Yue in his impression still had such a strong side.

Qi Zhao was confused.

Qi Zhao racked his brains.

Finally, she speculated that Ji Yue might have had a suspension bridge effect on her after the incident in the gymnasium.

Otherwise, how could Ji Yue, who was like a stray kitten, be so jealous?

Fortunately, Ji Yue's favor stopped after it dropped to a certain level. Qi Zhao took the windbreaker back to the bedroom after thinking for a moment.

How could this be a chance ticket? It was obviously an invisible bomb.

Feeling the crisis, Qi Zhao took the windbreaker to the company the next day, preparing to return it to Qin Zhuo when he came over.

Opportunities can be found again, but improving favorability is not easy.

But compared to Qi Zhao, Xiao Zhao and the others seemed to be more expectant and excited when they knew Qin Zhuo was coming.

Before the actor's interview even started, he peeked in the direction of Qi Zhao's office intentionally or unintentionally, and kept paying attention to the movement in the elevator.

After dozens of disappointments, they finally saw a tall and handsome figure at the elevator entrance.

After seeing Qin Zhuo walking straight towards Qi Zhao, Xiao Zhao and the others opened their eyes and covered their mouths in excitement.

It feels like I’m having sex on the spot.

When Qin Zhuo came, Qi Zhao was going through the interview process with Zhou Dan outside. When he saw Qin Zhuo coming over, he just said hello lightly: "I still have some finishing work. If you feel bored, you can go to my office and wait. ."

The words he spoke were extremely plain, but his tone couldn't hide his familiarity.

Xiao Zhao and the others exchanged glances, and they all saw the same message in each other's eyes:

a sense of family!

Isn’t it true that CP’s fight to the end is about family ties? !

Qin Zhuo had no reaction when he heard Qi Zhao's words. He just leaned behind her and looked at the document in her hand with Qi Zhao: "Is this the actor who came for the interview today?"

Qi Zhao handed him the actor's file very naturally: " Well, some of the actors interviewed today are not from professional schools."

Qin Zhuo took the file and flipped through it. After reading it briefly, he raised his lips and teased Qi Zhao: "I didn't expect Mr. Qi to be academic. Origin is important."

Qi Zhao smiled and glanced at Qin Zhuo: "If I valued origin, I wouldn't let them come for the interview."

Zhou Danhui felt uncomfortable being between the two of them and made an excuse to leave. Supervisor, the interview time is coming soon. I will go to the conference room to prepare first."

Qi Zhao looked at the time and nodded, then looked at Qin Zhuo and said, "By the way, I brought your windbreaker over today. Now. In my office."

Qin Zhuo saw his excuse for asking her out next time was knocked back by Qi Zhao, his eyebrows drooped, and there was a hint of unnoticeable grievance in his voice.

Like a large dog drooping its tail: "Why did you return the windbreaker to me so early?"

Qi Zhao stared at Qin Zhuo's eyes and laughed twice: "Don't we see each other every day recently? How many days have you worn your windbreaker? What's the point of leaving it at my house?"

"What about the weekend?"

"We can meet on the weekend without a windbreaker."

Qin Zhuo heard an exclamation from a distance before he spoke. He looked over and saw a group of three people. The five girls kept looking in the direction of him and Qi Zhao.

He looked very excited and his face was a little red.

But when they met Qin Zhuo's gaze, they quickly withdrew their gaze and began to communicate with each other.

"Let's go, go to my office and return the windbreaker to you."

When the girls' expressions became more and more guilty, Qin Zhuo finally withdrew his gaze and followed Qi Zhao with long strides.

As soon as he entered the office, Qin Zhuo said to Qi Zhao: "Your employees were a little strange just now."

Qi Zhao tidied the desktop without looking up: "What's so strange?"

Qin Zhuo came over with a smile in his voice. He said, "Why do I feel like they are gossiping about us?"

Qi Zhao raised his head and smiled after hearing this: "What do we have to gossip about?"

Qin Zhuo stared at Qi Zhao's eyes motionlessly, although he was smiling, his eyes were filled with tears. A bit seriously: "Maybe they are gossiping about our relationship."

Qi Zhao stared at Qin Zhuo's eyes and asked him directly: "Then what is our relationship?"
