Enchanted (GL) - Chapter 62
Ji Xi opened the “package” sent by Qiao Zhiyu. There were sunscreen, mosquito repellent, band-aids and some commonly used medicines. In addition to these, there was also a small gift box with exquisite packaging.
She opened the gift box and saw the beautiful crystal clear glass bottle.
It’s perfume.
Picking up the perfume, Ji Xi sprayed a little on her wrist, lifted her wrist and sniffed it lightly. This smell was too familiar, and it was the most common scent that Qiao Zhiyu had on her body.
Ji Xi thought for a while, put the perfume on the bed and took a picture. She sent the photo to Qiao Zhiyu, and typed one word at a time on the keyboard: “Thank you, I like it very much.”
Qiao Zhiyu didn’t reply, he should be busy.
When Ji Xi went to bed after taking a shower, she looked at her phone again and saw an unread WeChat message sent ten minutes ago: “It’s also my favorite taste.”
Ji Xi smiled as soon as she looked at it, smiling as bright as the lucky cat on the bedside, because Qiao Zhiyu also sent an emoticon from behind, which was the fat cat she had sent to.
Qiao always sends out such cute emojis.
Seeing special violations.
Ji Xi continued to send Qiao Zhiyu a kitten emoji package, squatting on the ground neatly, with big round eyes open. Most of these emoticons are collected from those chat groups, and have never been used, but now they finally have the same purpose.
In a bit.
Bad taste: “Go to bed, get up early tomorrow, good night”
Ji Xi habitually sends: “Yeah”
After sending it out, I remembered saying “Yeah” to Qiao Zhiyu again.
At nine o’clock the next day, when Qiao Zhiyu was sitting in his office, Ji Xi had already boarded the flight to D city.
In the investment industry, business trips are indispensable. The situation of each project is different. Sometimes it is common to go abroad, sometimes to first- and second-tier cities, small counties or even rural areas for research. The travel subsidies and benefits in this industry are quite impressive. If you are naturally rushing to go to the poor, like going to the countryside, you will inevitably not be so happy.
“Should this be your first business trip?” Meng Jing asked Ji Xi in a low voice.
“Yeah.” Ji Xi nodded.
“When I was in the investment bank, I was on business trips 300 days a year, and I went to places where the birds did not shit.” Meng Jing and Ji Xi chatted, “I heard that the conditions in the countryside are quite difficult. You may It will be overwhelming.”
Ji Xi said: “I grew up in the country.”
Meng Jing was surprised: “Then your skin is so white.”
Ji Xi has been said to have white skin since she was a child. In fact, she has not been tanned, but she always has malnourished whiteness, which may be natural. But before coming out today, she deliberately used the sunscreen Qiao Zhiyu gave her, and also used perfume.
There is a very strange feeling.
Because of this fragrance, it is easy for her to think of Qiao Zhiyu.
The conditions in the small county are worse than Ji Xi imagined. Although the partner arranged a relatively good hotel, the sanitary conditions are still worrying. Ji Xi didn’t know if he had eaten something bad or was unaccustomed to the water and soil. He developed a rash and diarrhea inexplicably, making it quite tossing.
But Ji Xi is someone who will never delay work.
Just carry it hard, she can carry it too.
“Is it better?” Meng Jing saw that Ji Xi’s face was not so good, worried, “You still don’t go tonight, they will definitely let you drink again when you go.”
“I asked for leave with Manager Shao, go quickly.” Ji Xi said.
“Would you like me to accompany you? I think you seem to be in a bad condition.” Meng Jing said again.
“It’s okay, I just need to sleep.”
After Meng Jing left, the room was not completely quiet. The vehicles downstairs drove up and down, and they would not stop all night. If they waited for the supper to come out, it would be even more lively.
Ji Xi took a shower early and lay on the bed.
The hotel’s quilt seemed to be damp, wet and uncomfortable. Ji Xi squinted, rolled several times and didn’t fall asleep, and finally lay down on the bed and watched the financial news.
He glanced over the dense small print, and it was boring to read it for a long time. When people are uncomfortable, their emotions will be followed by irritability, and Ji Xi is a little bit, lying on the bed alone, thinking about her a little bit.
What would happen if Qiao Zhiyu was around?
Should be able to hug yourself.
Ji Xi feels that she has weaknesses. Does she like to make a person vulnerable? She is still not used to relying on others, and relying on others will feel insecure, but she can’t help but want to rely on Qiao Zhiyu.
It was past nine o’clock.
Ji Xi sent a WeChat message to Qiao Zhiyu: “Have you gone back?”
Not long after, the other party replied, “I’m home, are you finished?”
Seeing Qiao Zhiyu’s reply, Ji Xi paused for a while and made a voice call. In fact, she has been actively contacting Qiao Zhiyu during the business trip these days, otherwise, someone will say that she is not taking the initiative.
Qiao Zhiyu leaned on the sofa on the balcony. Seeing Ji Xi’s voice invitation, she lowered her head and smiled, and finally got a little better. She answered, put her phone to her ear, and asked, “Is it convenient to pick up the video?”
Just now Ji Xi also thought about whether to post a video, but was afraid that Qiao Zhiyu would see her face bad and worried. She said: “My network is not very good.”
Qiao Zhiyu: “Are you tired from work today?”
Ji Xi leaned on the head of the bed: “Not tired.”
Qiao Zhiyu: “How can you be tired from a business trip.”
It’s amazing. Talking to her makes me feel much better. After a second of silence, Ji Xi looked for something and said, “What is Xiao Qiao doing all the time?”
“Little Joe is already asleep.” Qiao Zhiyu lay down comfortably on the sofa and muttered: “Should you not care about Mr. Qiao?”
President Qiao, Ji Xi was amused, but listening to Qiao Zhiyu’s voice was like drinking wine. Slowly, Ji Xi relied on Qiao Zhiyu and asked: “Then what are you doing?”
Qiao Zhiyu said softly, “Waiting for your call.”
When she spoke in a low voice, she was gentle and lazy. Ji Xi just listened to it, like a feather tickling at the base of her ears. This itch will continue to the bottom of her heart.
“It’s really rare. Teacher Ji has called me every day recently.” Qiao Zhiyu smiled softly, rubbing her fingertips on the sofa leisurely, she paused, and asked slightly, “…Want to chase me?”
After hearing Qiao Zhiyu’s words, Ji Xi became more certain: “You have been drinking.”
The outstanding ability is first-rate. Qiao Zhiyu: “Can the ears be heard?”
“I heard it.” Ji Xi was also surprised. She could just tell the difference between Qiao Zhiyu’s words when he drank and when he didn’t. She could feel the difference even though it was subtle.
Qiao Zhiyu said again: “I didn’t drink much.”
Ji Xi: “Yeah.”
Qiao Zhiyu laughed directly when he heard Ji Xi say “um”.
Ji Xi is speechless, and now every time he says the word “um”, he has to be awkward. Just because Qiao Zhiyu said that she would only say “um” that day. But hearing Qiao Zhiyu’s laughter, his mood improved.
Some of them didn’t talk a bit.
“Ji is lovely.” Qiao Zhiyu suddenly said.
Ji Xi listened, what is this nickname?
“I will pick you up at the airport the day after tomorrow.”
Ji Xi pursed her mouth and smiled: “Okay.”
After four days of business trip, Ji Xi returned to Beilin on Monday evening.
It’s raining in Beilin, pattering. This month’s rain, the next one, the temperature will drop a few degrees. After a few more games, the summer is over.
The weather is getting cold bit by bit, which makes Ji Xi quite annoying. The autumn in the north is almost negligible, and the winter starts very quickly. What Jixi hates most is the snow in winter.
The plan can’t keep up with the changes. Today, Qiao Zhiyu didn’t come to pick her up, saying that she had to work overtime and couldn’t get out of her body, so a driver was arranged to pick her up. Ji Xi said no, Qiao Zhiyu still arranged.
Ji Xi, the driver who came to pick her up, knew her well and had met both sides before.
The wiper was blowing rhythmically on the windshield.
“Mr. Ji.” The driver was wearing a seat belt, thinking that the person who could be picked up by Mr. Qiao would definitely be the number one. Usually it is either the one or the other.
Ji Xi was strangely uncomfortable being called by Mr. Ji one by one: “Don’t call me Mr. Ji.”
“You are too modest. By the way, where do you live?” The driver said with a smile, and it’s always right to flatter.
Ji Xi said the name of the subway station downstairs and said politely, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” The car moved slowly, and the driver turned the steering wheel and said in passing: “If it weren’t for Mr. Joe’s hospitalization, she would come to pick you up in person.”
Ji Xi caught the point: “Is President Joe hospitalized?”
“Well, did it seem to have fallen the day before yesterday or something? I drove to the hospital…” The driver saw that Ji Xi didn’t have much air, and his tone became a lot easier when he chatted.
“Is it serious?” Ji Xi asked immediately. When I called the day before yesterday, I was fine. I didn’t hear Qiao Zhiyu talking about the hospitalization yesterday.
The driver was not sure, “It should be okay.”
Ji Xi had already taken out her mobile phone and made a call, and her ear was beeping. When the fourth ring was ringing, it was connected, and Qiao Zhiyu’s voice came from over the phone: “You got in the car, right?”
“What’s the matter with you?” Ji Xi asked anxiously.
Qiao Zhiyu leaned on the hospital bed, pretending to be stupid, “What’s wrong?”
“Why are you hospitalized? I just know, why didn’t you tell me yesterday?”
The driver pulled his ears, and when he heard Ji Xi’s words, he felt a little bit in his heart. Suddenly he had a bad premonition and wondered if he was talking too much.
Qiao Zhiyu also guessed that Ji Xi knew, mostly from the driver. She didn’t plan to tell Ji Xi about this, but Ji Xi’s tone was anxious, but she comforted her: “I just fell down in the bathroom accidentally. It didn’t hurt and it didn’t get in the way.”
“You were hospitalized without injury?” Ji Xi asked one after another.
With this eager response, Qiao Zhiyu’s first reaction was to be happy. She quieted down, pretending to be aggrieved, and said: “I was injured, are you murdering me?”
Ji Xi: “…”
Still thinking about joking.
Qiao Zhiyu resumed his serious tone, “It’s really okay.”
Ji Xi was relieved. She looked at the rain surging outside the car window and asked in a low voice, “Which hospital is it?”
“Don’t come here today, go back and have a good rest.” Qiao Zhiyu saw through Ji Xi’s thoughts, and just came back from a business trip, the most difficult.
“Where did you tell.” Ji Xi asked stubbornly.
Qiao Zhi could not hold back Ji Xi, and told Ji Xi Hospital and the ward, and emphasized: “Don’t worry.”
Ji Xi said inexplicably outrageously: “I’m not worried.”
Qiao Zhiyu smiled: “I found that you are so fierce.”
Ji Xi’s tone faded: “still laughing.”
“Don’t come over today, have you heard.”
Ji Xi thought about it, and answered first.
…
After arriving home from the airport, Ji Xi didn’t change his shoes, and after putting down his suitcase, he went downstairs again. She stood at the intersection with an umbrella, looked around, stopped a taxi, and headed towards the hospital.
