Chapter 61

Qi Zhao returned to the gymnasium and chatted with the director team for a few words. After finding out that there were no big problems with the documentary, he thought about returning to the film and television department to continue working.

Qi Zhao said hello to Ji Yue before leaving, but Ji Yue frowned a little worriedly when she heard that she wanted to go back alone.

Ji Yue was really worried about the man who was obviously mentally ill outside the gym just now. He stared at Qi Zhao with worry in his eyes: "Sister, how about I send you back?"

Qi Zhao heard this. Hearing Ji Yue's words, she glanced at him and couldn't help but smile: "I'm not a child anymore. I don't have to be followed by people wherever I go."

"Besides, you still have to practice shooting. It's so troublesome to go back and forth. "

"But..."

Ji Yue hesitated when she thought of the tall man just now.

Although he didn't know who the man was, based on his conversation with Qi Zhao, Ji Yue could probably guess what their relationship was.

Ji Yue looked at Qi Zhao and asked her as if she wanted to confirm: "Sister...can I ask what the relationship between that person and you just now is?"

"He is my ex-boyfriend."

Qi Zhao knew that he should hide it I can't live in Jiyue, so I answered simply and neatly.

Although Ji Yue was mentally prepared, he was still stunned for two seconds when he heard Qi Zhao admit it.

Emotions similar to jealousy and possessiveness have not yet formed, and are dispersed by reason before the owner realizes them.

Even if Qi Zhao had any relationship with him, it was already in the past.

If she paid attention to someone she no longer cared about, it would be a complete waste of time and asking for trouble.

If not handled properly, Qi Zhao may even be disliked.

Ji Yue didn't want to be the person who made Qi Zhao unhappy.

The scene of the confrontation with the man just now was still clearly visible in front of her eyes. Thinking of the strength with which he gripped her collar and his unstable mood, Ji Yue suggested again: "Then let me take you to the car?"

Some social news about love and hatred suddenly occupied Ji Yue's mind like a species invasion. He was really afraid that Qi Zhao would be hurt by that man.

As if he knew what Ji Yue was thinking, Qi Zhao smiled at him, and every word he said was comforting to the point: "It's okay, I chatted with him a few more words after you left. He should have been there by now." Leave."

"He will never pester me again, nor will he hit me."

Qin Zhuo would not touch a hair of Qi Zhao even if he punched himself twice.

But it’s hard to say for others.

Qi Zhao looked at Ji Yue who was worried about her, and she was actually a little worried about him in her heart.

If he hadn't stopped him just now, Qin Zhuo's punch might have hit Ji Yue's face long ago. It's not impossible that both of them ended up in the hospital because of this incident.

If it were just two ordinary romantic partners fighting, Qi Zhao wouldn't feel anything at all, and would even make an emergency call for them after leaving.

But Ji Yue and Qin Zhuoqiao happened to be labeled as "partners" in addition to their emotional relationship.

If Ji Yue was beaten to the point of disfigurement, the documentary might have to be put on hold for a month or two.

If Qin Zhuo is admitted to the hospital, the film and television department's first movie will be scrapped.

For Qi Zhao, losses at work are much harder to make up for than emotional mistakes.

So before Ji Yue had time to speak and persist, Qi Zhao quickly said goodbye and left: "Then I'll leave first. See you at home."

Qi Zhao saw a coffee shop in the distance after getting in the car . , she thought for two seconds to summon the system and asked: "001, what is Gu Ci's favorability level now?"

[Fifty, it's already half! ]

Qi Zhao slowed down the car when he was about to pass the coffee shop.

According to her conversation with Gu Ci at the dinner table last night, Qi Zhao knew that he had the habit of drinking coffee, and she was planning to use this matter to increase the number of meetings between herself and Gu Ci.

Qi Zhao parked the car on the side of the road and walked into the coffee shop.

The sign outside this coffee shop is that it specializes in hand-ground coffee. Qi Zhao smelled the rich aroma of coffee as soon as he opened the door.

She walked to the ordering area but did not look at the menu. Instead, she asked the clerk directly: "Hello, does this store sell coffee beans?"

The system also followed Qi Zhao to participate in yesterday's meal and saw her You can probably guess what she wants to do by her behavior.

But it was still a little confused: [Qi Zhao, why are you buying coffee beans? Wouldn't it be more convenient to just buy a cup of coffee for Gu Ci? 】

Qi Zhao told the system: "Giving gifts to express your feelings is not about convenience. On the contrary, the more troublesome something is, the more likely it is that people will remember it longer and more clearly."

But this coffee shop seems to have deliberately made Qi Zhao more aware of it. In order to make Gu Ci remember it longer, the clerk looked at Qi Zhao and said in a dilemma: "I'm sorry, miss, our coffee is exclusively customized from the place of origin, and we have no plans to sell it to the public for the time being. Qi

Zhao nodded to express her understanding. She thought for two seconds and asked again: "Can you tell me where the best coffee beans are produced?"

Five minutes later, she got what she wanted from the coffee shop. Qi Zhao, who received the message, was holding a cup of signature coffee bought out of human sophistication.

Qi Zhao's nose wrinkled after taking a small sip.

Sure enough, she still couldn't drink coffee. It would be great if Gu Ci liked drinking.

The system saw Qi Zhao, who seemed to have been punched by the bitter taste in the coffee, first laughed twice, and then his tone immediately became serious as if he suddenly remembered something: [No, if you can't tell the difference, Which coffee tastes good and how should I give Gu Ci coffee beans? Qi Zhao

, who comforted himself that coffee can reduce swelling and lose weight, endured the "torture" on the tip of his tongue and drank the cup of coffee in one gulp based on the principle of not wasting food.

After drinking the coffee, Qi Zhao replied to the system with a sense of relief: "Whether the coffee beans taste good or not is secondary. The most important thing is to let Gu Ci know what I did to give him the coffee beans. Work hard."

Regardless of whether the gifts you give are valuable, don't most brands and luxury goods make their fortunes by selling stories?

However, considering that it would take a long time to enrich the story of this gift, Qi Zhao planned to give Gu Ci some other small gifts that could bring him closer.

Qi Zhao thought about it for a long time, and finally set his sights on Xiaoxiao, who was slightly conservative but could never go wrong.

Qi Zhao placed an order for some cat supplies in a pet store, and half an hour later someone specially delivered them to the film and television department.

Qi Zhao waited until he was about to get off work before sending a message to Gu Ci.

[Zhaojiu Playthings: Mr. Gu, I bought something for Xiaoxiao. If you have time, I'll send it to the top floor now. 】

Gu Ci responded very quickly this time, as if he just had time to spare.

[Gu Ci: I am having a meeting outside, not in Linchuan. ]

Qi Zhao reacted for a few seconds. Seeing that there was no chance today, he thought of making an appointment to meet Gu Ci at another time.

But just when Qi Zhao was about to raise his hand to reply, he saw Gu Ci sent another sentence:

[Gu Ci: Xiaoxiao is in the living room now. You can send it directly to my home. 】

Qi Zhao could see that Gu Ci's words were simply stating the facts, and there was no ambiguous meaning at all.

But Qi Zhao is different. She has evil intentions towards Gu Ci now.

Since Gu Ci took the initiative to create an opportunity, whether he did it intentionally or not, Qi Zhao would definitely not let it go.

Qi Zhao raised his hand and quickly said: "Okay, then I will play with Xiaoxiao for a while while I deliver the things." ]

In this way, even if she deliberately stayed until Gu Ci came back, he would not be suspicious.

Gu Ci didn't say anything, only sent one word.

[Gu Ci: Yeah. ]

In order to increase the probability of meeting Gu Ci, Qi Zhao had another meal after work and took some time before driving to Gu Ci's community.

You're already here, wouldn't it be a big loss if you don't meet with Gu Ci?

After Qi Zhao arrived at Gu Ci's house and pressed the consecutive numbers, he opened the door and found that there were no lights on in the living room, but there were two lights on the small cat climbing frame.

It was as if someone deliberately put Xiaoxiao in fear at home at night.

Xiaoxiao, who was lying on the cat climbing frame with his eyes closed to relax, heard the sound of the door opening and ran over quickly. When he saw Qi Zhao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, his little tail was raised higher.

"Meow!"

Qi Zhao first turned on the light in the living room, put the things he bought for Xiaoxiao next to the cat climbing frame, and then picked up Xiaorua twice.

The purring sound in Xiao Xiao's throat was like a kitten car starting up. Qi Zhao couldn't help but buried his face in Xiao Xiao's belly and took a breath.

Pure kitten smell.

The fatigue from work seemed to be resolved instantly. Xiaoxiao did not resist when Qi Zhao touched her belly, but just touched her head with a soft cushion in a symbolic way.

Qi Zhao faced a man's voice that he had never heard before. At this moment, he said to Xiao Xiao very skillfully: "Xiao Xiao, I have been away on business for so many days, have you missed me?"

Xiao Xiao was better than Qi Zhao. When I came last time, I had grown up a lot, with flesh on my back and a rounder face.

Xiao Xiao looked at Qi Zhao with a pair of round eyes, his expression and body were full of trust: "Meow~"

Qi Zhao's heart almost turned into a puddle when he saw Xiao Xiao obediently lying in his arms and staring at him seriously. water.

Just when she was about to take a few more puffs, she heard the sound of the door opening suddenly coming from the entrance.

Qi Zhao's first reaction was that Gu Ci was back. She hugged Xiaoxiao and turned to look at the door.

"Gu..." "Gu..."

The same syllable, but two different sounds appeared.

The two people who made the sound felt that each other's voices were very unfamiliar.

The man standing at the door was wearing a smoky gray windbreaker. He was tall and had a mature temperament.

The man has a good face, and his facial features are a little less heroic than Gu Ci's, but a little more chic.

Qi Zhao was a little confused when he saw the strange man's face at the door. The man was also very confused when he saw that there was a woman in Gu Ci's house.

In the end, Qi Zhao, who was less shocked, reacted first and politely asked the man: "Hello, who are you?"

The man did not answer Qi Zhao's words immediately.

He looked Qi Zhao up and down and saw that she didn't panic at all when she found out that he had come in. Instead, she spoke like the master of the house.

The man again cast his gaze on the familiar little body in Qi Zhao's arms, and saw that its expression, which rarely appeared docile and relaxed, changed from puzzlement to understanding.

"Oh - I understand."

The man snapped his fingers and pointed at Qi Zhao with his index finger, his tone determined.

"Gu Ci is hiding his beauty in the golden house, right?"
