Chapter 95: Pretending to be pitiful
Ever since Qin Qi and Kong Nanzhu got divorced, Xiao Liu's work environment has turned into a purgatory mode of suffering.
Regardless of whether Qin Qi's emotions were stable, just looking at the condition of his boss made him feel distressed as a bystander.
He witnessed the always dedicated Qin Qi staring blankly like a ghost on the set every day, saw him suddenly get stuck and lose focus in the middle of filming, and knew that he couldn't sleep all night, and read Kong Nanzhu's Weibo every day with his mobile phone.
My boss was very sad about his wife divorcing him. Due to various objective reasons, he temporarily adjusted his career plan. He stopped filming, appearing on camera, and working. He was therefore forced to take nearly two months of paid leave.
Xiao Liu is immersed in the panic of whether he will lose his job every day.
Xiao Liu couldn't understand why Kong Nanzhu, who was so nervous when she came today, had to divorce when they obviously had feelings for each other.
"To be honest, I think Sister Nanzhu still can't let you go."
Qin Qi's eyes lit up. He was in better spirits after getting enough sleep. He stared at him with bright eyes and said, "Tell me more about it."
Xiao Liu was dazzled by the expectation in his eyes, "What?"
Qin Qi: "Why do you think so? Why do you say she can't let me go?"
Xiao Liu hesitated and couldn't explain it in detail.
Isn't it obvious? Who would go all the way to check on someone who doesn't care?
Xiao Liu was really speechless about his boss's ability in love. To be honest, he still couldn't understand how his boss got rid of his wife.
"Sister Nanzhu also specifically told me to stay here with you tonight, and told me to call her directly if anything happens. Shouldn't you take the initiative? Since she cares about you, you should create more opportunities like this."
Qin Qi was extremely serious, and put on an attitude of listening to a professor and a famous teacher's explanation, "What opportunity?"
"Of course it's a chance to inspire her to feel pity and love for you!"
Qin Qi threw the lock screen of his phone aside, walked back to the bedroom without eating a single bite of his meal, laid his tablet on the bed, and covered himself with a blanket.
Xiao Liu looked at him with a bewildered look on his face as he completed this series of actions.
Qin Qi: "Why are you just standing there? Call her right now."
Xiao Liu: “…”
Half an hour later, Kong Nanzhu appeared at Qin Qi's door.
After receiving Xiao Liu's call in the bar, my heart immediately hung in my throat. Without even asking what was wrong with him, I rushed over in a hurry.
After ringing the doorbell, Xiao Liu opened the door quickly, looking anxious, "Sister Nanzhu, Teacher Qin is awake, can't eat anything, and even vomited once."
Xiao Liu seemed calm, but he was actually praying in his heart.
I swear to God, I am not a person who likes to tell lies. God, please don't strike me with lightning for doing good things.
Kong Nanzhu took out her slippers from the shoe cabinet with ease: "Hurry up and send him to the hospital!"
Xiao Liu: "Teacher Qin insisted on not going to the hospital. I just took her temperature and she doesn't have a fever. I think it's because she's been overworked recently."
An actor who was lying on his bed with his ears perked up to listen to the noise outside was using his professional expertise to the fullest extent. His complexion did not look very good to begin with, and he made himself look weak on purpose, with his half-closed eyes lifeless.
There was only one bedside lamp on in the bedroom. Kong Nanzhu held her breath and walked into the room carefully, but unexpectedly Qin Qi suddenly opened his eyes.
Maybe it was because he truly felt Kong Nanzhu's care for him, but Qin Qi didn't feel uncomfortable at first, but the grievance he showed at this moment was very real. He had to rely on such childish and ridiculous means as pretending to be sick in order to see her. This was really unlike something he would do.
Kong Nanzhu frowned when he saw how sick he looked. "Why don't you go to the hospital? Don't delay treatment if you are sick . If you do, you will be the one who suffers."
Qin Qi's long eyelashes cast a shadow on his fair skin, and he said somewhat willfully, "Go directly to the hospital, and you won't come to see me."
Xiao Liu quietly retreated and went to the balcony to make a video call with his girlfriend.
Kong Nanzhu was somewhat stunned and helpless. She could not imagine that such words would come out of Qin Qi's mouth. They sounded coquettish and pitiful, as if he had suffered a great injustice.
"My visit to you won't solve the problem. You shouldn't joke about things like this."
"I'm not kidding, I just want to see you."
Qin Qi's discomfort and weakness were not entirely pretended, so he stood up too quickly, felt dizzy, and almost fell back onto the pillow. Kong Nanzhu saw him frowning for a long time before he opened his eyes again, and the cold and tough words stuck in his lips, unable to come out.
She wanted to say that she had no obligation to take care of him when he was sick, and visiting him did not mean anything else.
But it was clearly she who came to ask about his well-being.
When she received Xiao Liu's call, she should have asked them directly to see a doctor immediately, instead of coming to his door to listen to him say these things.
Qin Qi was now fragile and helpless, his collarbone showing through his loose neckline, and he was shockingly thin. Kong Nanzhu finally didn't say what she was sure would irritate him, "Do you want to eat now?"
Qin Qi asked cautiously, "Can you cook for me?"
"Auntie brought the food."
Qin Qi lowered his eyes in disappointment, "But now I just want to eat the porridge you made."
He missed the days when Kong Nanzhu would get up early to cook for him. Every plate was filled with Kong Nanzhu's love. Although it was not long ago, it felt like a lifetime ago when he recalled it now.
Qin Qi also knew that his request was a bit excessive, but he just wanted to be completely willful. He had even more excessive ideas, which he didn't even dare to say out loud.
"good."
Kong Nanzhu turned around and went into the kitchen without even a hint of expression. Qin Qi sat on the bed in a daze, not being able to believe his ears.
Kong Nanzhu actually agreed.
She went to cook for herself?
After the surprise, a wave of ecstasy swept over him. Qin Qi jumped off the bed, took two quick steps, and realized that he was playing the role of a weak patient, so he slowed down his pace and moved to the dining room, watching Kong Nanzhu put on the red floral apron that belonged to her in the kitchen.
She bought it herself, but Qin Qi had no idea when she bought it.
There are many things he doesn't understand.
Qin Qi felt more and more regretful about their marriage life that he had not been able to leave more good memories.
Perhaps it was because of this that Kong Nanzhu chose to leave and withdraw from a marriage that could not bring her happiness and satisfaction.
Qin Qi stared at Kong Nanzhu's every move. In order to make it easier to work, Kong Nanzhu tied her hair up, revealing her white and tender neck. She wore a thin silver chain.
Qin Qi didn't remember that Kong Nanzhu had the habit of wearing a necklace before. She would only wear it occasionally when matching her clothes for taking photos, but her neck was always empty at other times.
"Why don't you wear the necklace I gave you?"
Kong Nanzhu cleaned the rice and vegetables quickly and smoothly. When he heard her words, he paused while cutting vegetables with a funny expression. "Are you talking about the sapphire necklace?"
Qin Qi also realized the inappropriateness of his question.
Who would normally wear such an exaggerated necklace when going out? If it weren't a banquet occasion, wearing such a necklace when going out would probably make people think you are a nouveau riche.
It's ridiculous that he has never even given her a decent piece of jewelry, so it's difficult to find any traces of their past on Kong Nanzhu now.
"So, where's the ring?"
Kong Nanzhu's fingers were bare and she was not wearing anything.
Kong Nanzhu subconsciously covered his collar and asked, "Should I give it back to you?"
Qin Qi quickly said: "No, that's not what I meant. I wanted to ask if you still want to keep it..."
"It should be in a jewelry box."
Through the reflection of the kitchen glass, Kong Nanzhu could see obvious disappointment on Qin Qi's face.
