Wildfire

Chapter 21: Go out

Qi Man didn't sleep all night, but was full of energy. He pressed Li Yanzhi many times. She seemed to be tireless, and she seemed to be in a carnival. Li Yanzhi felt a little distressed about her body, saying that her body could not bear it. No more, Qi Man lied in her ear and smiled: "Mr Li will lie too."

Li Yanzhi hugged her. The sun couldn't come in outside the window. The furniture was covered with fuzzy outlines. The person beside her had very clear facial features, like a knife carved in his heart, one eyebrow, one eyebrow and one smile.

"I didn't lie." After all I came back from the hospital, and my body hadn't adjusted well. Last night I thought about Qi Man coming back alone. She barely rested. Now that she has been tossing for so long, she is indeed tired.

Qi Man chuckled lightly, exhaled like orchids, her breath entangled in Li Yanzhi's ears, and she shivered: "I haven't said that I lied yet."

"Has President Li never heard this sentence?"

Li Yanzhi frowned, but not because of her words, but because of her name. Qi Man hummed and called Mr. Li only when he was angry. He usually calls her by her name. There is basically no appellation between them, because unuseful.

Is she angry now?

But she doesn't look like she's enjoying herself.

Li Yanzhi's frowning brows were flattened by Qi Man with his fingers, and his low laughter was hoarse: "Did Li always think of it?"

"Can't think of anything?" Li Yanzhi turned his head to look at Qi Man. His eyes were bright and the tails of the eyes were dyed red, as if they were covered with rouge. She was very delicate. She gently pulled her lips, like a fairy, Li Yanzhi hugged her waist. With sweaty hands, Qi Man said: "I can't think of what I just asked."

Her red lips moved, and she said clearly: "There are only exhausted cows, and no bad land."

A sentence with different meanings, the two could not decipher this pun easily. Qi Man put his hand on Li Yanzhi after speaking, and said in a low voice: "I don't want to sleep today, I just want to cultivate the land."

"Manman——" Li Yanzhi's words were blocked, and there was another depressive lingering sound in the room. This time, without restraint, the sound came out of the room, knowing that he shook his hair and ran away with two meows. Up.

The sun outside the window went down the mountain, the sky was red, the moon climbed up the treetops in a flash, the sound in the room was intermittent, occasionally silent, occasionally whimpering and humming, knowing that I can’t stand hungry and lie at the door and scratch the door with my paw, meow Wu Meow yelled anxiously.

After a long time, the door opened, but it was not Qi Man who came out from inside, but Li Yanzhi.

In her pajamas, she looked down at Zhizhi, her expression was sleepy. She and Qi Man had been resting for a while, but she was asleep, and she could be alarmed by any sound. When Zhizhi scratched the door, she got up and looked at Zhizhi. Zhi squatted in front of the door and shook his big tail, looking at her roundly with cat eyes, head tilted slightly, with curious eyes.

It seems to be thinking about what they two are doing inside, and haven't come out for so long.

This cat was well raised by Qi Man, very obedient. He was extremely hungry and would not meow loudly. It would just pick the door aggrievedly and try to attract attention.

In this regard, it is quite similar to Qi Man.

Sure enough, the cat followed the master's words.

Li Yanzhi had patience. She turned her head and looked at the room. Qi Man turned her back, with the quilt under her armpits, revealing a pair of white arms, which just wrapped her around her like a flexible snake. Zhizhi saw that she was looking back for a long time and she wanted to go back to the house and quickly jumped to her feet and rubbed her head against her ankles. It didn't want to have a chance to come by, and it went in again before feeding itself.

Li Yanzhi noticed its coquettish little movements and looked down. She happened to meet Shang Zhizhi's big round eyes, and she said, "Feed you first."

As if knowing what she was talking about, Zhizhi jumped to the kitchen, next to his cat bowl, wagging his big tail and waiting for Li Yanzhi to come in.

The light flicked on, and Qi Man in the room slowly opened her eyes, without sleepiness in her eyes. She turned her head to look outside. Li Yanzhi only turned on the kitchen light. It was not bright and could not illuminate the room. Seeing some light and shadow, she stared at the door and thought deeply, closing her eyes to rest before Li Yanzhi settled down and came back.

In the room, the two breathed long and lightly, hugging each other, in an intimate posture.

One afternoon and midnight, the two woke up until noon the next day. Li Yanzhi was not a slumbering character, but the curtains were thick and tightly drawn, giving her the illusion that the sky was not bright, and the lack of light added yesterday. I was really exhausted, so I slept until the phone rang.

It was Lou Ya's call to report on the latest developments. She was afraid that it might affect Li Yanzhi's rest. He especially chose to call at noon. Who knows would still wake up the two sleeping people.

Qi Man covered his head with a pillow and said, "Noisy."

The voice she just woke up was hoarse and unconsciously squeamish.

Li Yanzhi took the phone and rushed to connect before Qi Man made another complaint. Before leaving, she did not forget to soothe Qi Man's hair top and whispered, "Keep sleeping, I will go out to answer the phone."

Qi Man mumbled, not knowing what he said, Li Yanzhi didn't listen carefully and took his phone out.

"Mr. Li, I found out that the project that Mr. Qi invested in last year has been in a state of depletion because it did not start construction. He has lost a lot." Lou Ya doubted: "But he filled in this loophole in the first half of the year, so everything is normal in terms of funding. "

"What about the company?" Li Yanzhi said, "Is the company abnormal?"

"I have checked the cooperation on the company's surface, and there is no abnormality." I dig deep into some projects that everyone does not put on the surface, and they all know it well. Even if they really find something, it is inconvenient. Speaking out, Li Yanzhi stood by the window in her pajamas. She pondered for a few seconds and said: "I see, you send all the information you found to my mailbox, and I will reply to you after I see it."

Lou Ya responded: "The director Rongtian's side--"

Rongtian was panicked because of the K8 incident. Perhaps it was the tree that attracted the wind, or there were too many people jealous. Rongtian was completely pushed to the forefront this time. Whether there is any problem with the Rongtian engine has become a topic of discussion in the industry every day. News carousel, fortunately, they know that there are limits to the discussion, and they have not made false claims that it must be Rongtian’s responsibility, but the impact will be irresistible for a while.

The current situation is very unfavorable for her and Rongtian.

Li Yanzhi: "Slow down again."

Lou Ya nodded: "Okay, then I will pass you all the information."

Li Yanzhi pursed his lips and hung up the phone.

The scorching sun refracted in through the window, falling on her, and the warmth hit her. After sitting quietly for a while, she took out the computer from her bag, and went to the bathroom to wash after turning on the machine. When she came out, Qi Man was already awake.

"Wake you up?" Li Yanzhi's hair was fixed with only a clip, shredded hair at the temples hanging on the side of the ears, bangs covering the eyebrows and eyebrows, you can still see the fair skin, in contrast, Qi Man has nothing So "white", she has sensitive skin. The two of them played too much last night. Qi Man didn't have the energy to wipe the ointment again. Li Yanzhi wiped her a little after being woken up by Zhizhi, and was rubbed off again at night. So the marks on her body look bluish and purple, especially dazzling.

Qi Man raised his head when she heard her questioning: "No."

She moved her arm, soreness and tingling in her neck, Li Yanzhi didn't know if it was because she heard that she was not young yesterday, and deliberately, it was terrible to toss her up.

But this is also good.

I have happily chased after, loved, and enjoyed, and I will not feel so sorry to leave.

"What do you have for lunch?" Qi Man turned around and asked, "There are a lot of fresh vegetables in the refrigerator."

Li Yanzhi sat in front of the computer, opened the email, and said without looking back: "Whatever."

Qi Man glanced at her back and lowered her head into the bathroom. When she was washing, she saw a lot of red marks on her body. She poured a handful of water on her neck, chilled, and stuck it to the warm skin, painful to the bones.

Zhizhi was splashed by the water and ran away with a meow. Qi Man looked at her in the mirror with her tail pinched and chuckles: "Little conscience."

After she finished speaking, she looked in the mirror, put her finger on the face of the person in the mirror, and pulled her lips: "I have no conscience."

There was the sound of tapping the keyboard in the living room. Qi Man quickly packed up and went out. Li Yanzhi saw that she was about to enter the kitchen and shouted, "Wait."

Qi Man turned his head: "What's the matter?"

Li Yanzhi put down the computer and said, "Come here."

Qi Man walked over, Li Yanzhi took the ointment from the coffee table, and didn't know when he took it. Qi Man took it and said, "I'll do it myself."

"Don't move." Li Yan's appearance on the medicine was serious, Qi Man paused when he saw her delicate eyebrows, but did not speak or resist any more, but sat upright and let Li Yanzhi help him to apply the medicine.

The computer was nearby and the screen was on. Qi Man Yuguang glanced at Li Yanzhi's mailbox. There were many unread letters. She asked, "Are you working?"

"Yeah." Li Yanzhi is not very fond of chatting with her on business affairs, and they have hardly talked about the company when they are together. Sometimes she mentions that Li Yanzhi is not light enough to reply to her.

Same as now.

Qi Man lowered his eyes: "Has K8 not been resolved yet?"

Li Yanzhi gave her a smeared posture, and Qi Man said: "I've watched the news."

"Not yet." Li Yanzhi said: "It's a little troublesome."

Just as Qi Man wanted to ask, Li Yanzhi received the ointment: "Okay, let's cook."

She said: "I'm hungry."

Qi Man put the ointment away as usual. With a calm expression, she didn't pay attention to Li Yanzhi's resistance at all. She got up and went to the kitchen. Li Yanzhi behind her smiled and turned to look at the computer.

The information came in bit by bit. When she was browsing, she wrote important messages into the file, her expression was serious and solemn, and she put her slender fingers on the keyboard and typed for a while, seemingly not sure whether to add this.

That's how she works.

No distraction, serious and charming.

Qi Man leaned against the kitchen door and looked at her after adjusting the rice for a good time. His eyes burned for a while. She watched this slender figure for many years and read for many years, and she quietly did not understand what she liked. Put it in your heart, put it in the deepest place, and occasionally memories are full of sweetness.

She still remembers the appearance of Li Yanzhi's five sense organs. From the beginning, she pointed to herself and said not to come close to me and opened the door at night later and asked: "Do you want to see the stars?"

At that time, she was six years older than herself, much taller and slender. When asking questions, she was slightly bent over, as if she wanted to stand at the same height as her. She didn't speak, and Li Yanzhi muttered: "Why don't you speak, not during the day Do you still think about it?"

She was immersed in the daytime affairs and did not say a word. Li Yanzhi couldn't stand her temper and turned around and said: "Forget it, I don't want to look down."

She looked at the figure of Li Yanzhi leaving, feeling a little flustered, her hands were more conscious than her brain, and she had quietly grabbed her clothes before she could react.

Li Yanzhi turned his head: "Why are you pulling me? Can't you see?"

Under the moonlight, Li Yanzhi's eyes were surprisingly bright, his facial features were not yet open, but he was very delicate, white and clean, unlike all the children in the orphanage, this person is special, and Qi Man knew it from the first day she came. .

She thought for a while, then returned to Li Yanzhi: "Look."

"Follow me when you see it." Li Yanzhi took her hand and took her out to see the stars.

How many stars were there that night, whether they looked good or not, Qi Man actually couldn't remember at all, she only remembered that Li Yanzhi's eyes were beautiful, as if they were studded with stars, so she could not forget it for a long time.

Li Yanzhi probably didn't know that the brief encounter at the beginning changed the trajectory of her life.

She loves the person in front of her, using all her time and energy, pursuing with her life, from the ignorance of feelings, to the unspeakable like, to her trying everything possible to approach, to gradually loving, To be inseparable.

She used it for 22 years.

Lu Qiao often asked her: "Do you regret it?"

No regrets, she does not regret that a half of her life is imprinted with Li Yanzhi's name and traces. She thinks this is the perfect answer sheet she has ever done. Now that it has full marks, she is going to write a blank answer sheet.

I hope that for the rest of her life and time, she can imprint her own name.

The keyboard tapping brought Qi Man back to reality. She returned to work in the kitchen after seeing Li Yan again. The housekeeper would bring fresh ingredients to her every day, and match the ingredients to her according to the season and weather. Qi Man did the right thing. The meal is very handy. I made five dishes and one soup in less than an hour, or the oily chicken soup. The fragrance is rich. Li Yanzhi sat in the living room and looked at the smell. The man in the kitchen is busy, and his figure is slender. Wearing a light blue apron, the shards of sunlight came in through the window and fell on her, as if she could dance, and there was a pleasant atmosphere in the air. Her eyebrows were bent, knowing that she was in a good mood and jumped onto the sofa. Next to her, she stretched her head under her ears and begged to be touched, Li Yanzhi looked at the cat who was wronged Qi Man for no reason, her smile deepened, and she couldn't help rubbing the cat's head.

The picture in the living room was warm, and Qi Man watched for a while before shouting, "Let’s eat."

Li Yanzhi put down the computer and walked over. Zhizhi jumped onto the table. Qi Man tapped her cat's head with chopsticks: "Go eat your cat food."

"Meow." Zhizhi glanced at her aggrievedly, and left with a whining voice.

Qi Man handed his chopsticks to Li Yanzhi and said, "I'm going out this afternoon."

The smile on Li Yanzhi's face was visibly constricted, his eyebrows drooped, and his eyebrows frowned and said, "What are you going out for?"

Qi Man's expression was complacent, and he chewed slowly and said, "Injection."

She raised her hand: "There are five more stitches."

Li Yanzhi nodded and said, "I'll let someone take you there."

"No." Qi Man refused: "Lu Qiao came to pick me up."

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes: "Do you have dinner tonight?"

Li Yanzhi didn't evade, um, Qi Man said: "Coincidentally, I have it too. Lu Qiao gave me my birthday, so I may not come back tonight, so please don't come here."

The food was immediately difficult to swallow, Li Yanzhi put down his chopsticks, looked up at Qi Man, and asked, "Are you still angry?"

No wonder I kept calling her Mr. Li yesterday, but the anger hadn't disappeared.

Qi Man ate the meal, his expression remained the same, her facial expressions did not change, she said calmly: "No."

"You are busy." She said: "I can understand."

Her tone was extremely sincere. Li Yanyi couldn’t tell the truth or not. Qi Man said, “Didn’t I tell you, I’m going to see my mother on my birthday, so I want to go ahead. Lu Qiao said it’s my birthday, so I’ll just agreed."

This was indeed told to her, and I asked her to accompany her today, Li Yanzhi's expression was calmer: "That doesn't have to come back."

"My meal can be over in about half an hour, when I will pick you up?"

After the blind date, I came over to pick her up. The time arrangement was really appropriate. She would definitely be uncomfortable if she left it before, but now she is surprisingly calm.

"Let's talk about it." Qi Man didn't expect that one day he would refuse Li Yanzhi: "I'm not sure when it will end."

Li Yanzhi frowned, but said nothing.

For lunch, the two of them probably had something on their minds, and they didn’t eat too much. There was more than half of the vegetables left. Qi Man returned to the room after clearing the table and took the bag to Li Yanzhi: “I’m leaving now.”

He left the villa without waiting for Li Yanzhi's reply.

The door opened and closed. It took less than a minute. Qi Man didn't even turn his head. Li Yanzhi sat on the sofa. The characters in front of him were distorted and became symbols that she couldn't understand.

She pushed the notebook forward and leaned against the sofa.

Zhizhi jumped from the floor to her side with a meow, tilted his head to look at her, the round cat eyes were cute, Li Yanzhi rubbed his head patiently, and Zhizhi lay down beside her comfortably and let her massage .

There was news from the computer. She looked over and Lou Ya sent her a new message. Li Yanzhisao closed the computer with her eyes, and she lay on the sofa holding Zhizhi.

The living room was very quiet, and the villa was very quiet. Zhizhi's snoring sound became more obvious. She lay on Li Yanzhi's chest, and there was a slight vibration. Besides, the surroundings were silent and silent.

Li Yanzhi is not used to this kind of quietness. She is still used to seeing Qi Man when she comes back, watching her cooking, watching TV, watering flowers or teasing cats. She doesn’t have much free time and comes and goes in a hurry, but she only has to When I came back, I could see Qi Man's slender figure, just like reassurance, she had to see it to be at ease.

But now, she couldn't settle down, and she couldn't even concentrate on work.

Li Yanzhi has a chest tightness. I don’t know if it was pressured by Zhizhi. She climbed up and leaned against the sofa, holding Zhizhi with one hand, and there was a beeping sound from time to time when the computer was closed. She didn’t know. Take the notebook, set mute.

The whole world is quiet.

But the ensuing coldness made her very flustered. She took the remote control from the coffee table and turned on the TV. It was the financial channel. Qi Man set several financial channels as the main channel so that she could watch it as soon as she opened it. She had a meal once. Seeing Qi Man staring at the TV, he smiled and asked, "Can you understand?"

Qi Man didn't give her a good look, and muttered: "I'm not a fool."

She laughed. It didn’t mean that at the time. She just thought that the content of this channel was obscure and difficult to understand. Especially the host likes to show off knowledge, and he can spread out a few questions, so she asked Qi Man if he could understand it. , Unexpectedly, the man exposed his paws and waved.

At that time, I was patronizing and admiring her cute appearance with her teeth and claws, but forgot whether she had explained the reason.

Li Yanzhi pressed his temples. The head that didn't hurt yesterday, and now she took advantage of it. After pressing for a few seconds, she still felt pain and went back to the room to find medicine.

Qi Man’s medicine will be placed in a fixed place and packed in different boxes. The ointment she rubbed on her body is placed in the outermost box. Because it is often used, Li Yanzhi opened it and found her medicine. .

There was also a blue box inside. She took it out. It was very light. Unlike the medicine box just now, it was heavy. When she opened it, she saw her own medicine, the bottle and jar. She took it out and accidentally moved her finger to the side. The pill box, showing one side, still has words.

--Remember to take medicine.

The black handwriting is very familiar, and Li Yan can recognize it as his own handwriting.

She poured two medicines out of the bottle and put her head up to eat. She took out the medicine box in the other hand and looked around. It was a box of cold medicine. The box was white. It was obviously not the most recent one. She thought of Qi in a daze. Man was not in good health before. After moving in, she was busy with work and often stayed up late, so it was common for her to get sick. Although she did not come back then, but the housekeeper would report on the situation every day, so she also knew about Qi Man's illness, but not How to care.

At that time, she was like this, feeling that Qi Man herself was not responsible for her body, and she didn't need to take care of her.

But after being together, she couldn't bear to see her sick and pitifully lying on the bed. She made porridge and bought medicine for her, and asked the doctor to come over to restore her body. This medicine was bought at that time, in the blink of an eye, it has been six years. .

The boxes are all white, but the writing is very clear.

Li Yanzhi put the box back and walked into the living room. The headache medicine has a little sleeping effect, and it takes a nap after taking it. But she doesn't really want to go back to the room, so she just lay on the sofa in the living room.

Zhizhi is also sleeping, snoring loudly when she gets closer, and the host on the TV is explaining the current economic situation and future development trends. She rubs her head and lie down. There are sounds all around, but she still feels strangely quiet and quiet. She could clearly hear her breathing and heartbeat. The sound was ear-sounding, and she turned over uncomfortably, feeling that the medicine she had just taken had no effect at all.

The head still hurts, and the flustered feeling is not only not depressed, but worse, she has the illusion of floating alone on the sea, with no end, no purpose. Seeing a big wave hit, she suddenly sat up from the sofa.

The temples are sweaty, the forehead is shiny, and the heartbeat is so fast that he is frightened by her actions. I open my eyes to look at her. There are two points of defense. Li Yanzhi is like a person who has just climbed ashore from the water. Soaked, she took a deep breath, picked up the laptop and computer from the coffee table, got up and left the villa without looking back.

The door was closed, the sun outside was wanton, and the warmth smelled of unknown flowers. Li Yanzhi stood at the door and looked back. She suddenly discovered that if this villa did not have Qi Man, she would not be able to stay for a minute.
