Chapter 41

Gu Ci couldn't tell whether he felt happy or sad.

Like a sudden surge of waves on the sea.

The sea knows that there are ripples somewhere in its body, but it doesn't know what caused the ripples and where it should go after it calms down.

Seeing her stunned Gu Ci, Qi Zhao thought he was surprised why she suddenly appeared at his house and hadn't reacted yet, so he explained: "Mr. Gu, I just thought about it after eating at noon today. Turn on the surveillance camera and take a look at Xiaoxiao. But I didn't expect Xiaoxiao to bring me to your room."

After seeing Gu Ci regaining consciousness, Qi Zhao used his honorific title as usual when talking to him.

"I saw you were sick and there was no one around to take care of you, so I came here on my own initiative."

"Oh, that's right." Qi Zhao added as if he remembered something, "The address is what I saw in the background of the pet monitoring Yes, you told me the specific house number and password of your home. "

She is not a suspicious person who suddenly broke into his house, she is a legal person with Gu Ci's permission.

Gu Ci frowned when he heard the words, feeling that his chaotic mind was not very clear: "...me?"

Qi Zhao nodded and said more specifically: "I asked you on the surveillance camera about the floor and password, please tell me It is said that the passwords for the twenty-third level are connected with four, five, six and seven."

Qi Zhao added another detail: "You were woken up by Xiaoxiao at that time, and you thought it was about to eat. Don't you remember? "

Xiao Xiao also called out at the right time, as if to prove Qi Zhao: "Meow!"

Only then did Gu Ci dig out a few scattered memories in his head.

He did remember reading out a string of numbers in his sleep.

Gu Ci then thought of the large package of antipyretics placed by the bedside and the antipyretic patch he put on his forehead when he woke up. His voice, which had not been exposed to moisture for a long time, was a little hoarse: "...you also bought the medicine in the room. ?"

Qi Zhao nodded, with a concerned expression on his face and warned: "But I only gave Mr. Gu a medicine. The clerk said that if Mr. Gu is still feeling unwell, he can go to the hospital to get one. Check it out."

She cursed in her heart: She only knew that drinking alcohol might lead to rupture, but this was the first time she encountered a fever and rupture.

Gu Ci, who had been assuming that his assistant did all this, was at a loss to react when faced with a completely different and unexpected answer.

"Ye Zhiyuan..."

Gu Ci had just woken up from his fever, but his brain had not yet returned to its usual sharpness.

Gu Ci usually adheres to the principle of thinking before acting, but at this moment, he can't keep his thoughts in his mouth.

When Qi Zhao heard Gu Ci talking about Ye Zhiyuan, he stood up and responded: "Mr. Gu, does he have any work matters to ask Ye Zhu for? Do you need me to avoid him?"

Gu Ci reacted for a few seconds before blurting out. After coming back to his senses, Qi Zhao went through it in his mind again before shaking his head and answering her very honestly: "No, I just thought Ye Zhiyuan was the only one who would come here."

Qi Zhao was completely unexpected by Gu Ci. outsiders.

Qi Zhao looked at Gu Ci, whose hair was a little messy in front of him, and whose bangs covered his sharp eyebrows, and whose eyes were inexplicably dull. He felt a little dazed.

The current Gu Ci is very different from his usual image of being cold and decisive in Linchuan.

There is no trace of the words "cruel and ruthless" mentioned by Qin Zhuo and others on him.

The usually magnetic voice was now deeper and hoarse, but Gu Ci's whole aura became much more approachable.

When Qi Zhao heard Gu Ci's voice, he remembered that he had bought something for him when he went shopping.

"By the way, Mr. Gu, wait for me."

Qi Zhao trotted into the kitchen, took out a can of tea from the bag and trotted back: "This is a can of honeysuckle tea that I brought when I went out to buy groceries. Mr. Gu If your throat feels uncomfortable, you can drink some of this."

Gu Ci was like a robot whose hardware was aging and slow to react. He subconsciously took the jar from Qi Zhao's hand and then asked her: "...Buying groceries?

" The sudden high fever seemed to have taken away the high-speed functions of Gu Ci's brain, and now he could only think in one line.

Qi Zhao nodded and responded: "I was afraid that Mr. Gu's fever would last too long, and when he woke up, he might not have much left in his stomach due to digestion, so I went out to buy some food."

Xiaoxiao, who was immersed in eating, had already He licked the bottom of the bowl that was filled with fish soup just now. The sick meal on the dining table was still steaming, and he didn't take a bite.

Seeing that Gu Ci was in good health, Qi Zhao said, "I just made the food on the table. Mr. Gu feels that his stomach is empty and he can eat now."

However, Gu Ci stood still and lowered his eyes. As if thinking very seriously.

After a while, he looked up at Qi Zhao.

His eyes were extremely determined, but his words were a bit irritating: "Which company sent you here? What price did they offer for you to get close to me? Or do you want to use the film and television department as a platform to get into the board of directors?"

Although the hoarse voice sounded He looked sick, but he could vaguely see Gu Ci's usual killing and decisive look.

Qi Zhao didn't panic at all when faced with Gu Ci's questioning, and even wanted to laugh.

I thought I could gain some favorability from Gu Ci through this matter and complete the task as soon as possible, so I gave him a free half-day nanny, but I didn't expect that not only did he not buy it, but he also suspected that he was interested in her.

Qi Zhao himself was not interested in the business secrets in Gu Ci's hands.

She was only interested in Gu Ci himself.

But if these words were said directly, Gu Ci might label her a "stalker".

So Qi Zhao first shook his head sincerely, and did not panic at all when he met Gu Ci's sharp eyes.

She first denied Gu Ci's guess: "No company sent me here, and I have no interest in joining the board of directors."

Then she revealed her purpose of coming: "It may sound outrageous, but I am really here because of Xiao Xiao Then I came to visit Mr. Gu. If you don't believe it, you can retrieve the surveillance video from today's noon. The whole incident was clearly recorded by the surveillance camera."

The two men faced each other calmly.

Gu Ci glanced at the pet monitoring robot waiting nearby, and rationally told him that Qi Zhao's reason was too casual, and his actions in purchasing and cooking were also a bit attentive.

But at this moment, his thinking was out of tune, but his sensibility had the upper hand.

The only fact that Gu Ci is certain of now is that it was Qi Zhao who took care of him when he was sick.

Xiaoxiao seemed to sense the tense atmosphere between the two, so he walked to Gu Ci's feet and rubbed them.

She rarely acted coquettishly around him: "Meow~"

Gu Ci was brought back to his senses by the movement at his feet, and his thoughts, which were not yet fully functioning normally, were a little distracted at the moment.

It seemed like he hadn't been sick for a long time since he entered high school.

When he was sick as a child, he was alone. He has not taken care of others, nor has he been taken care of by others.

The book said that meals should be lighter after illness, but it was only today that Gu Ci realized this concept in real life.

Gu Ci quickly pulled himself out after realizing he was stuck in memories.

He pursed his lips, and when he looked up at Qi Zhao, his eyes softened a lot: "Sorry, I misunderstood."

Qi Zhao was not stingy enough to argue with a patient.

"It's okay, Mr. Gu."

Qi Zhao saw that Gu Ci had woken up and was able to get off the ground. He gave him instructions before getting up and leaving: "If you still feel uncomfortable, you can take another pill. The food is on the table. If If there's nothing wrong with you, I'm leaving."

The small rice bowl was placed outside, next to the balcony. When Qi Zhao walked from the balcony to the door, he had to pass through the corridor outside Gu Ci's bedroom.

When Qi Zhao passed by Gu Ci and was about to nod to show courtesy, Gu Ci's bloodshot eyes met hers.

"Wait a minute."

Qi Zhao heard the sound and turned to face Gu Ci: "Mr. Gu, is there anything else you can do?"

Being so close, Qi Zhao could clearly see the residual illness on Gu Ci's face.

The redness on Gu Ci's face had faded, but the whiteness on his lips was still there.

Perhaps because his eyelids were heavy, Gu Ci's eyebrows were slightly raised.

When he looked at the person, he seemed a little aggrieved for no reason: "...Are you angry?"

Qi Zhao's first reaction when he heard Gu Ci asked this question was the emergency call system: "001, does Gu Ci like me?!"

This person turned out to be Is it such a good guide?

Just one meal?

Qi Zhao was just immersed in the dream that the bonus was one step closer to her, but the system immediately poured a bucket of cold water on her.

[No, Gu Ci's favorability has no upward trend at all. ]

Qi Zhao, who always hears this sentence in love, is a little confused: "Then why does he ask like that?"

Qi Zhao understands that a man cares about whether a woman is angry or not, which is a somewhat intimate topic.

But the system didn't understand the twists and turns, and guessed based on its own thinking: [Maybe it's just a simple question. ]

Although Qi Zhao felt a little regretful after hearing the answer, he still shook his head at Gu Ci and denied, "No."

As soon as Qi Zhao finished speaking, he asked again: "Why does Mr. Gu think I am angry? "

Under the double buff of illness and Shun Mao, not only was Gu Ci out of control, but his words were also dull: "Because you just said you were leaving."

...

Qi Zhao:?

Qi Zhao was a little confused about Gu Ci's brain circuit.

She was shocked alone for a few seconds before speaking: "...Mr. Gu, I said I was leaving because I wanted to go back to my own home."

Why did Gu Ci just now suspect that she had other intentions for him, and now he heard her want to Did you leave and then stay?

Even Qi Zhao, who had experienced many battles, was a little confused at this moment.

After racking her brains, she could only attribute Gu Ci's disconnected behavior to the fact that he had burned out his brain.

But Gu Ci himself was very sober when faced with this matter.

Growing up, the thing he resisted the most was separation.

In his world, separation is equivalent to giving up.

Gu Ci seemed to have thought of something, and his whole figure seemed to fall into the whirlpool of the deep sea instantly, and his eyes dimmed suddenly.
