Qin Zi arrived at the hotel ahead of the bus. He was used to wearing simple clothes when he was in the company. Today, he wore suits and ties all day long. As soon as he entered the hotel room, he took off his tie.
After taking a shower and changing into comfortable clothes, Qin Zi packed up one second, and the next second Rong Yu and Tang Jiu rang his doorbell.
Everyone had been waiting in the Chinese restaurant chatting for a long time. As soon as Qin Zhe and others came in, the chatter changed to greetings: "Boss, and brother."
Because there were a lot of people, two large tables were set up. After Qin Jie sat down, he glanced around at the familiar faces and didn't see Chen Enci. He leaned on the back of the chair and tilted his head back: "Jiang Nuan.
"
Jiang Nuan, who was chatting with the person next to him, immediately turned around and said, "What's wrong, boss?"
Qin Ji raised his eyelids and glanced at the only empty seat beside him: "Where is Chen Xi?"
Jiang Nuan: "The big star said she was sleepy and didn't want to come for dinner."
Qin Zhe nodded and said nothing more. He picked up his phone and sent a WeChat message to Chen Enci: "Come down for dinner."
Until the waiters started serving the dishes one after another, Chen Enci did not reply to Qin Zi's message. Qin Zi changed the phone number and dialed. When he saw that no one answered, he murmured in his heart, was he really asleep?
Qin Jie put down the phone, checked that it was still early, and sent another message to Chen Enci: "Tell me when you wake up and I'll have someone prepare some food for you."
After eating, he returned to the hotel room. Qin Zie lazily leaned on the sofa and took out his phone to check WeChat.
The little girl hasn't woken up yet?
Go back to sleep now and wait until the hotel restaurants are closed.
Qin Zhe glanced at the thunder and lightning that had not stopped outside, and thought that the place they lived in was halfway up the mountain. With such bad weather, it would be inconvenient to go out for supper in the middle of the night, so he got up and walked to the desk, picked up the hotel phone and called Chen
Ordered a meal from Enci Room.
Half an hour later, Qin Ji's landline suddenly rang.
Qin Jie put down the book in his hand and answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Qin, my colleague just contacted me and said that no one was taking meals in room 2007."
Qin Jie frowned slightly: "Wait a moment."
Qin Zhe took his mobile phone and dialed Chen Enci. When no one answered, he said to the landline: "I'll go over and take a look."
Chen Enci lived downstairs from Qin Zi. When he came out of the elevator, Qin Zi saw the dining car at the end of the corridor.
Seeing him approaching, the food delivery person immediately moved away from the door.
Qin Zie rang the doorbell and waited for a moment. When no one opened the door, he asked, "Have you called the room phone?"
"Fighted."
The ringtone of the landline phone is so loud, if you really fall asleep, you should wake up...
Qin Jie's frown deepened: "Please inform the staff to issue a room card again."
Not long after, the front desk handed over the opened room card.
Qin Jie said "thank you" and opened Chen Enci's door.
The room was dark with no lights on. Qin Zie pressed the main switch at the door, and the warm yellow light instantly illuminated the entire room.
Qin Zhe opened the door and let the food delivery staff take the meal into the room and leave, then he went to the bedroom.
Opening the door, Qin Zie saw Chen Enci curled up on the bed.
Why didn't the phone call wake her up in the room?
Qin Jie called out "Chen Xi" and saw that the person hiding under the quilt still didn't respond at all. He frowned and walked to the bedside.
"Chen Xi?" He called her name again, stretched out his hand and pulled apart the quilt covering her body, exposing her head.
Chen Enci's face was pale, and she was still wearing her daytime clothes. When she saw Qin Jie, she was stunned, and then she tried her best to suppress the fear that she couldn't resist, and asked reluctantly: "Why... why are you here?"
Qin Zhe stared at Chen Enci's frightening face and frowned, "I called you several times, but no one answered. Don't worry, come and have a look."
Chen Enci said "Oh", endured his trembling legs, and slowly sat up: "I just fell asleep, I didn't hear it."
Qin Zhe didn't have the intention to tell whether her words were true or false, so he stretched out his hand and touched her forehead: "Why do you look so ugly? Are you sick?"
Chen Enci tried hard to make himself look like he was fine: "No, I'm not sick."
Qin Zie worriedly probed her forehead for a while to make sure her body temperature was normal, then took it back and said, "I ordered a meal for you. Eat as much as you like."
"I..." Chen Enci was just about to find an excuse to shirk it, but a bolt of lightning outside the window pierced the silence in the sky, followed by the sound of rolling thunder.
She was trembling all over, feeling her blood flowing backwards, and she couldn't think of a single word to say.
"Chen Xi?"
Seeing that she was silent again, Qin Zhe reached out to pull her out of bed. The moment his fingertips touched her arm, he realized that her whole body was trembling.
The thunder outside the window did not stop, and the sound became louder and louder. His touch made her find hope. She reflexively grabbed his arm and hugged him tightly. She hugged him very tightly and forcefully.
It's like being drowned and encountering driftwood.
Amidst the bursts of earth-shattering thunder, her breathing gradually became unsteady, and even the eyelashes of her closed eyes began to tremble slightly.
Qin Zhe could clearly feel her uneasiness and fear through the trembling of her little hands holding his arm.
Is she afraid of thunder?
He had been with her for seven months, how come he never knew?
Qin Zi's heart felt like something had stabbed him hard, causing him sudden pain. Without hesitation, he stretched out his other hand and took her into his arms.
She didn't dodge and let him hold her. She was shaking much more than he expected. He freed up a hand and patted her back gently.
After an unknown amount of time, the lightning and thunder outside the window gradually stopped, and she slowly recovered.
When she stopped shaking completely, Qin Jie asked aloud, "Are you feeling better?"
Chen Enci said "hmm", and after a while, he realized that he was still holding Qin Zi with one arm in his arms.
She could feel the warmth of his skin through the thin T-shirt he wore.
Her ears were burning and she let go of his arm, and she also stepped back a little.
After she recovered from the shock and fear, her brain became more flexible. She was a little embarrassed, thinking that he had just said that he had ordered a meal for her, so she avoided his eyes and whispered: "I'm a little hungry."
Qin Jie, who had not yet recovered from the heartache just now, said in a very soft voice: "Eat out or eat here?"
Chen Enci thought for a while: "Let's go out."
Qin Jie didn't say anything, but moved half a step back to make room for her to get out of bed.
The rain outside the window didn't stop, and Chen Enci didn't know if lightning and thunder would start again later. She was afraid that Qin Jie would leave, so she sat at the table and glanced at Qin Jie who followed him out: "Do you want something to eat?
