"You really don't need to see a doctor?" Ke Ziqi poured a glass of water for Luo Tianya and asked her to drink it.
"No need. I'm not in good health. It's common to have a fever or a cold. There's really no need to be too nervous. Ziqi, you're so busy, so there's no need to come over to see me." Luo Tianya said.
Ke Ziqi came over and touched her forehead and said, "It's still a fever. Otherwise, you can take some medicine and have a good sleep. I'll make some porridge for you. I'll see if you've eaten it and then go back."
"It really doesn't take that much trouble." Luo Tianya refused.
Ke Ziqi had already walked to her medicine cabinet and rummaged through the medicine. As he was rummaging through the medicine, he said, "Why are you being polite to me? No matter what, I am still your brother. It is natural for a brother to take care of his sister."
Luo Tianya smiled slightly: "Okay, then I, my sister, will do my part."
Luo Tianya took the medicine, watched TV, and fell asleep on the sofa unknowingly. Ke Ziqi cooked porridge for her, and when he saw her sleeping on the sofa, he carefully covered her with a thin quilt.
, she slept deeply, turned over, half of the quilt fell off her body, the collar of her coat was tilted to one side, and the shocking hickey on her chest was reflected in front of him.
His eyes widened unconsciously, showing surprise and surprise, but more importantly, heartache.
Luo Tianya suddenly opened her sleepy eyes and met his eyes.
The pupils in her apricot eyes became larger, and Luo Tianya sat up from the sofa, only to realize that her coat was too loose and fell off her left shoulder.
The patch of red on her shoulders made Ke Ziqi's eyes even more surprised and heartbreaking.
Luo Tianya tucked the messy hair behind her ears, put her coat in order, glanced at the kitchen, and said nonchalantly: "Zi Qi, is the porridge ready? I'm hungry." She said.
Show a smile.
Ke Ziqi was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and said, "When it's done, I'll serve it to you."
Luo Tianya looked at Ke Ziqi's back walking towards the kitchen and lowered her eyes, her eyes moistened unconsciously. She thought she was strong enough and could pretend as if nothing had happened, but she was sick. When people are sick,
She is particularly vulnerable. When she wakes up from a coma, his shadow appears in her mind again. His roughness and domineeringness last night were exactly the same as that night many years ago. It was even more unbearable than that night, but she was still
She carried it down without saying a word. No matter what his purpose was, she would never collapse, let alone cry in front of him, nor shed tears for him again.
She raised her head and held back her tears.
Ke Ziqi turned around and saw her side face holding back tears. He clenched his fists and turned his face, his eyes full of sadness and heartache.
Watching Luo Tianya eating the porridge bite by bite, Ke Ziqi remained silent, unable to say a word.
Luo Tianya raised her eyes to look at him, feeling that the way he looked at her was like looking at a pitiful little rabbit.
She smiled and said: "Please, don't look at me like that, you make me feel weak." Just like her weak self more than a year ago.
Ke Ziqi looked down at his hands without saying anything.
"Zi Qi, have your cooking skills improved again? This porridge is really delicious." Luo Tianya said with an expression of relish.
Ke Ziqi smiled and said: "If it's delicious, eat more. I've endured a lot, so you have to finish them all." There was a sparkle in his starry eyes.
Luo Tianya nodded, immersed himself in eating, and the hot porridge was sent down his throat, which seemed to make the pain in his chest feel better.
Ke Ziqi watched Luo Tianya finish the porridge with her head down and replenished it twice. She seemed to have a good appetite. But the more she behaved like this, the more his heart ached until he finished the third bowl.
"Tianya, don't eat." Ke Ziqi held her hand and told her not to eat more.
Luo Tianya put down the bowl and asked, "What's wrong? There's still a lot in this pot. Didn't you ask me to finish it?" She said with a smile.
In Ke Ziqi's eyes, this smile hurt his heart more than her crying.
"Tianya..."
"Huh?" Luo Tianya still pretended to be nonchalant.
Ke Ziqi lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment. At this time, the doorbell rang.
The two people looked at the door at the same time, looked at each other, and the doorbell rang again.
Ke Ziqi's intuition told him who the person outside would be. He clenched his fists, stood up, suppressed his anger, and said, "I'll open it."
"Zi Qi." Luo Tianya stopped him.
"If it's him, don't drive. I don't want to see him now." Luo Tianya stared at him, her pale face bloodless and her eyes gloomy.
Ke Ziqi clenched his fists tighter, gritted his teeth, turned and walked towards the door.
Looking through the peephole, Ke Ziqi opened the door.
Outside the door was Yang Zi, who was holding a takeout with a smile on his face. He handed the takeout to the person who opened the door and said in a playful way: "I'm here to deliver the takeout." When he saw that the person in front of him was not Luo Tianya, he smiled.
It was hard, with a little embarrassment.
"President Ke, where is it you? Tianya is in there?" Yang Zi's expression returned to his usual expression and he smiled.
"Well, please come in." Ke Ziqi made an inviting gesture.
Yang Zi stepped in and when he saw Luo Tianya, the first thing he said was: "Did I come at the wrong time?" He said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Luo Tianya rolled her eyes at him angrily: "Yes, you came at the wrong time, please get out now."
Ke Ziqi handed Yang Zi a glass of water. Hearing Luo Tianya choked him, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, which meant that they shared the same hatred.
Yang Zi took the water and took a sip: "President Ke, look at her, does any subordinate treat her boss like this? I'm showing sympathy to my subordinates, so I came to visit her when she was sick. I didn't expect that her buttocks were still hot.
It's going to be bombed."
Ke Ziqi smiled and said nothing.
Luo Tianya retorted: "Who told you to always say unconstructive things? What's more, I'm at home now, not in the company, and I don't regard you as my boss."
Yang Zi looked aggrieved: "I am no longer your boss. Once a boss, always a boss, you have to remember."
"President Yang, you mean to say that I will sell it to you for the rest of my life, right? It's a beautiful thought. Do you think I'm really that cheap?" Luo Tianya's pale face became a little brighter, and she felt refreshed.
a lot of.
Yang Zi was angry and funny. He smiled at Ke Ziqi and said, "Look at her, how does she look like a sick person now? She is more arrogant than anyone else when she bickers. Seeing her lively and jumping around, I am the boss.
I feel relieved.”
Ke Ziqi smiled slightly: "President Yang is really a good boss who is considerate of his subordinates."
"How can he be considerate? I think he's here to inspect me and see if I'm being lazy."
"Tsk, tsk, look at you, a woman who treats a gentleman with a villain, you say it is difficult to raise a villain with a woman, and you are absolutely right."
"Stop showing off your strong Chinese skills to me here, okay? I know you are very powerful, so you don't have to show off all the time."
"Of course, I am also an overseas Chinese, okay?"
Ke Ziqi watched the two people bickering with each other, and looked at the tacit smiles on Luo Tianya and Yang Zi's faces. The corners of his mouth were raised, and his eyes were lowered, cast a layer of sadness.
The two people walked out of the downstairs of Luo Tianya's house. Ke Ziqi said, "President Yang, let's go have a drink?"
Yang Zi was not unhappy: "It's okay."
In the bar, two men slowly drank wine and listened to the resident singer playing guitar and singing sentimental English love songs without saying a word.
After three drinks, Yang Zi finally said: "President Ke, do you have something to say to me? Maybe you want to know something?"
Ke Ziqi drank all the wine in his glass, added another glass, and said, "To be honest, I'm quite envious of you now."
Yang Zi's charming eyes looked at Ke Ziqi with a smile and said, "I wonder what President Ke envies me for? What I have, President Ke also has, and even what I don't have, President Ke also has, but,
After thinking about it carefully, I probably understand."
Ke Ziqi raised his head and took another sip, looking at the stage without answering.
"Is it because of Tianya?"
"Can you tell me how you met Tianya a year ago?"
Yang Zi raised his mouth slightly, took a sip of the strong wine in the cup, recalled Ke Ziqi's interesting past, and spoke slowly.
"That's the thing. In fact, Los Angeles is such a big place. It's possible for me and her to meet like this. I wonder if it's fate. Is it fate?" Yang Zi asked with a meaningful look.
Ke Ziqi raised his head and drank another glass of wine neatly.
Yang Zi looked at him, curved his lips into a smile, and said: "Tianya has suffered a lot in the past year. She is where she is today because of her own strength and hard work. Just imagine, a heart has died.
How much courage does it take for a person to cheer up, especially a weak woman like her."
There was pity and secret regret in Ke Ziqi's eyes. Maybe he shouldn't have terminated his engagement with Luo Tianya in the first place, but now he no longer has the right to say regret. Everything has passed and now is a new situation.
It is also an unknown situation.
"Thank you." he said.
Yang Zi laughed: "President Ke, what are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for taking care of her. I know you helped her a lot."
"I wonder in what capacity President Ke is thanking me? As a friend? Or..."
"She and I will always be good friends, just like family."
"Haha, you really have the same tone. You two really have a tacit understanding. Let me tell you, Tianya said the same thing when she mentioned you."
Ke Ziqi's eyes darkened and he asked: "What about President Yang?"
"Me? What's wrong with me?" He pretended to be stupid.
Ke Ziqi stared into his eyes and said: "President Yang and Tianya, are they friends, superiors and subordinates, or..."
Yang Zi smiled and didn't answer in a hurry. He took a sip of wine and kept a smile on his lips.
Ke Ziqi kept staring at him, waiting for his answer.
"In the future, Tianya and I have many possibilities, but President Ke is different. You and Tianya will be good friends forever." Yang Zi looked back at him and said with a meaningful expression.
The two men looked at each other for a while, and Ke Ziqi said: "I don't want her to get hurt."
