Strangers

Is it the same as Xiao Yiqing? "After getting in the car, Qian Sining asked.

"It's exactly the same." Qi Xie said, "The group of rabbits is coming fiercely, and they will definitely break into the dreams of more people in the future. Once a blowout erupts, the inside story of the swarm plan will be exposed sooner or later."

Qian Sining thought for a while: "Now that the Special Information Department has changed hands, we can only rely on Guixintang to clean up this mess. I wonder if this task will fall into your hands."

"Let's just fall down, idle is idle." Qi Xie is not worried.

Qian Sining smiled: "Mr. Qi seems to be in a good mood."

"Is it?"

"I mentioned to Dr. Ding a few days ago that he can be arranged to work in a hospital in Shanghai. I wonder how he thinks about it?"

"I refused for him." Qi Xie said.

"Why." Qian Sining was puzzled.

"If you want me to do things with peace of mind, you don't need to take his ideas, as long as Guixintang pays more wages."

Qian Sining sensed what he meant, and rarely said kindly: "Mr. Qi looks down on me too much, I just want to return Dr. Ding's favor by doing this."

"What kind of favor?"

"Before the Southern Star exploded, let me loosen the rope."

Qi Harmony nodded.

"Then about the transfer..." Qian Sining asked.

"He won't come." Qi Xie said, "I didn't want to explain some things, but I didn't expect to cause such a misunderstanding. Ding Li and I are just close friends, not the relationship you imagined."

Qian Sining shook his head: "We have also seen the journey between you and Dr. Ding, the so-called adversity sees the truth—"

"Enough." Qi Xie interrupted calmly.

Qian Sining was taken aback for a moment, looked at him in the rearview mirror, and said nothing more.

After waiting for a long time, Master Xun did not assign the rabbit's affairs, so Qi Xie took a day off and got off work on time at five o'clock.

That night, while he was falling asleep, he suddenly felt heart palpitations, but no matter how much he tossed and turned, he didn't feel sleepy, and he always felt restless.

"Nod and shake your head." He called.

A green-haired head emerges from the ceiling.

Look left, look right, retract in, drill out again; look left, look right, retract in, drill out again.

Qi Harmony glanced over.

Nodding and shaking his head, he flew out, chirping and shouting: "Wow, boss Qi, please spare me! Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare!"

"Shut up." Qi Xie reprimanded.

The kid hurriedly sat down on the ground and covered his mouth with his hands and feet.

"Let me ask you, what is Ding Li doing now?"

The kid groaned and bulged his cheeks.

"You can talk." Qi Xie said.

The little ghost hurriedly let go, and said in a breath: "Dr. Ding's family members didn't come to perform surgery on someone. The patient died. The family members came and said it was a medical accident. They didn't sign or pay the medical expenses, so they fought with him!"

"What a mess." Qi Xie frowned.

"Dr. Ding's family members didn't come to perform surgery on someone. The patient died. The family members came and said it was a doctor—"

"No need to repeat!" Qi Xie said.

The kid sat down again and covered his mouth.

Qi Xie said with a straight face: "How many family members are involved?"

"One person!" The little ghost let go of his hand, and covered it again after speaking.

"what is his name."

"Deng Guokai!"

"What handle does this person have in his work and life?"

"What's the handle!"

"It's something that if someone finds out, it will make him die in an ugly way."

"Okay, okay! I like to die ugly!" The little ghost was instantly happy, "I don't know if it counts or not! He wrote an anonymous letter half a year ago to report their director! The director was very angry and said that he found the person who wrote the letter. I'm going to kill him! There is one more thing I don't know if it will work! Besides his wife, he secretly has a concubine! He lives in 6, Building 407, in the community next door to his house!"

Qi harmoniously smiled.

"Does it count? Will it work? Will it be an ugly death!" the little ghost asked jumping.

Qi Xie picked up the phone on the bedside table: "Deng Guokai's number."

The kid quickly reported a series of numbers.

"Hello?" Qi Harmony greeted happily.

"Who are you looking for!" The anger of the fight on the other side has not subsided.

"Mr. Deng?"

"Who are you!"

"You don't need to ask who it is." Qi Xie calmly said, "I just want to tell you that if you continue to pester Dr. Ding, the director of your unit will know who wrote those anonymous reports tomorrow morning."

There was no sound on the other side in an instant, and he shouted, "Who the hell are you!"

Qi Xie ignored him: "If you don't want to die in an ugly way, you can do three things for me: first, go back to the hospital and pay the surgery fee, which is a lot of money; Third, to apologize to Dr. Ding, you must be sincere, enthusiastic, and from the bottom of your heart."

Seeing that the other person didn't speak, Qi Xie hissed as a reminder: "The phone number of your director seems to be 1388..."

"Wait a minute!" The other side shouted, "I'll go...!"

"Ah, there is no need to go now." Qi Xie suddenly remembered, "Doctor Ding is sleeping, we will talk about it when he wakes up. How about this first?"

just hang up.

The kid immediately gloated: "Idiot humans will die! When will idiot humans die!"

"No rush." ​​Qi Xie chuckled, "I'll tell him to die after he finishes those three things."

So early the next morning, after apologizing, signing, and paying the medical bills in Deng Guokai, he finally received a call from his mistress after wiping off a cold sweat, saying that his wife had brought someone to call.

He nodded and shook his head to confirm that Ding Li was fine, Qi Xie finally felt relieved, after packing up and getting ready to go to work, Xiao Tao handed over an item: "Mr. Qi, look at this, I found it after cleaning the room."

Qi Harmony took it.

It was a mahogany bead with a broken red string.

He thought that Ding Li didn't pull it off on purpose, maybe it was unintentional during the dispute.

Gently twisting the mouth, Qi Xie said: "From now on, you will always answer Ding Li's phone calls, just tell him I'm not at home and I'm on a business trip."

"Why?" Xiaotao was puzzled.

"There's no reason, just do it."

☆, broken cut

There is no new case for the time being, Qi Xie has been idle for a few days, and after asking Assistant Qian, he heard that Huahe has been fully responsible for the rabbit matter.

"Who is this Huahe?" Qi Xie nodded at the seat opposite.

This was the first time he asked her to sit down. Qian Sining was taken aback for a moment, then tucked up her skirt and sat opposite him: "Huahe is a group of people from the Guangxi branch. They entered Guixintang at the same time as you. Not long ago He was transferred to the cleaning station by Lord Xun. This time, the manager volunteered and said that he could 'cut' the rabbit's passage into the dream, so that no one would have nightmares. The group plan also protects those people from being harmed by rabbits."

"Puqie?" Qi Xie said to himself, "How do you do this?"

"Skillful people have their own unique skills. It's better than the cleaning station in Minister Han's time. They killed people and silenced them at every turn." Qian Sining changed the subject, "But there are two things I have to tell you. Huahe found out all the dreams. There are a total of 221 people who saw the rabbit, and I accidentally saw the list just now, and found Dr. Ding's name."

Qi Xie was not surprised: "It's normal for him to know me for so long. The second thing."

Qian Sining paused for a moment: "It's still related to Dr. Ding. He's been conducting some investigations recently, and he's already touched the edge of the swarm project."

"What?" Qi Xie frowned and complained in a low voice, "This guy, what kind of random investigation!"

"It may be subconsciously driven by those rabbits. He has found the home of the deceased volunteer today, but he has not found any key clues. Huahe is scheduled to perform a 'cutting' on him tonight. I have already told Master Zhang, Get him pumped up and ready, you might have to go home."

At 22:[-], there was rain on Beiling Road.

The usual mobile stalls have disappeared, leaving only scattered facade signs and the red taillights of passing cars, which are reflected in various puddles of light and shade.

With a snap, the person sheltering from the rain ran over, splashing mud on Ding Li's trouser legs. He lifted the scarf around his neck and buried his nose in it.

"Hello." Suddenly a voice came.

Ding Li turned around and paused, "Why are you back?"

"I need you for something." Qi Xie said, still drenched in the rain.

Ding Li hurriedly moved the umbrella to his head: "What happened?"

Qi Xie patted his arm: "We'll talk about it when we go home."

After entering the room and putting down the umbrella, Ding Li handed him a dry towel, Qi Xie casually rubbed his hair and put it down, folded the towel and put it on the back of the chair: "Let me see your bruise."

Ding Li wanted to ask him how he knew, but felt that it was unnecessary, so he lifted his clothes aside.

Qi Xie touched her lightly a few times: "No problem, don't think too much."

Ding Li said, "You didn't come back just for this, did you?"

"And this." Qi Xie lifted a bead.

Ding Li was a little stunned, and immediately took it over: "I've been looking for it at home for a long time, why are you here!"

"Xiaotao found it on my bed after cleaning the room."

Ding Li seemed a little embarrassed: "She didn't know it was mine, did she?"

"I know." Qi Xie leaned back into the chair relaxedly, "But she didn't say anything, after all, in the eyes of many people, we are already a couple."

"Really..." Ding Li scratched his neck.

Qi Xie smiled: "Do you feel embarrassed now?"

He raised his head: "I'm not embarrassed."

"Ding Li." Qi Xie looked at him suddenly, and his tone softened, "I want to know... are you serious about what you said?"

"What?"

"If I am a woman, you marry me; if you are a woman, you marry me."

Ding Li shuddered at the time: "Why do you ask this?"

Qi Xie only asked: "Answer me, isn't it?"

His expression seemed to be teasing, and his eyes seemed to be full of anticipation. The former made Ding Li want to deny it immediately, but the latter made him unable to speak...

In a certain delicate atmosphere, the other party suddenly burst out laughing.

Ding Li suddenly felt that he had been tricked, and frowned angrily, but Qi Xie didn't restrain himself, instead, he walked to his chair without haste, bent down and blew in his ear while pressing his shoulder: "So you... Really broken sleeves."

"Nonsense!" Ding Li felt an itch in his heart, and quickly avoided it.

"Hello." Qi Xie blinked, "Aren't you angry?"

Ding Li glared at him: "Don't you think it's boring to joke about such things all the time!"

"Sorry, sorry!" Qi Xie suppressed a smile, "I didn't know you minded that much!"

Ding Li looked to the other side with a straight face.

"Or..." Qi Xie leaned into his line of sight, "Are you guilty of being a thief?"

Ding Li was completely angry, glared at him fiercely, got up and walked towards the door.

"Hey!" Qi Xie hurriedly grabbed him, "Okay, let's not talk about this, let's talk about business!"

Ding Li turned his head unhappily: "What other business can you do?"

Qi Xie smiled: "Rabbit."

Ding Li was taken aback immediately.

"Is this serious?" Qi Xie asked.

Ding Li froze for a moment, but was pulled back to his original position.

"Those rabbits are the ghosts of the dead." Qi Xie said, "They will cause damage to your mind, so you must deal with them."

Ding Li's first message was not damage and treatment, but: "What is the ghost of the dead."

But Qi Xie shook his head: "It's better that you don't know some things. In short, two people will come later, and they will help you cut off the rabbit's passage into the dream, so it will be fine."

Ding Li frowned slightly: "It sounds like a very weird operation."

"It's not an operation, it's a spell. I'll watch from the side, there's no danger."

"And why do you need someone else to do it?" Ding Li asked, "You don't know this spell?"

"That's a unique secret technique, how could I know it."

"No." Ding Li said immediately, "I don't want others to do anything."

Qi Xie smiled: "Then you just want me to do something?"

Ding Li said, "It's not the same thing."

"In any case, those rabbits must be dealt with. If I don't come, those people will break into the house at night and stun you without anyone noticing. You don't know how to do it at that time."

"Why?" Ding Li was puzzled, "This is not compulsory detoxification."

"Don't ask so many questions." Qi Xie looked at him, "I won't harm you anyway, right?"

Ding Li said, "Let me think about it."

Qi Xie hummed, leaving time for him.

However, within a few minutes, guests came to the door.

It was two men, both dressed in black, and they said in a deep voice, "Mr. Qi, we are here to cut."

"Is that Huahe?" Qi Xie let the door open, "Please come in."

When Ding Li saw the two of them entering the house, he stared at him, like a plumber looking at a broken sewer, and like a butcher looking at an animal waiting to be slaughtered.

He blinked guiltyly, and aimed at Qi Harmony.

Qi Xie didn't care about himself, instead he said to those two people: "It's him."

The tone of the construction supervisor and the livestock breeder made Ding Li completely desperate, so he coughed and said, "I'll go to the bathroom."

He went into the toilet as if nothing had happened, closed the door, and Ding Li took out his cell phone.

Breaking into the house at night, without anyone noticing... This string of words allowed him to characterize the actions of the man in black: not to be seen, the scale is large, there are organizers behind him and the background is not small, and the inside story is so complicated Even Ah Jing didn't want to say it.

So God knows what these two people will do to him.

He believes that Qi Xie won't harm him, but he doesn't like the feeling of being overprotected. Rather than just sit and wait for death, it's better...

Turning on the recording function of the mobile phone and stuffing it into his trouser pocket, Ding Li walked out of the bathroom and looked into the living room. On the terrazzo floor, there were wooden swords, talismans, paper incense burners and candles, as if he was posing for a murderous sacrifice to heaven.

Qi Xie picked up an armchair, put it in the middle, and ordered: "Come and sit."

Ding Li sighed and walked over, as if sitting on an electric chair.

Qi Xie said again: "Take off your shirt."

"Ah?" Ding Li was taken aback, "It's winter now, very cold."

Qi Xie frowned: "Take it off as soon as you are told, there is so much nonsense."

Ding Li couldn't help it, so he took off his sweater and shirt, and became shirtless.

A man in black stepped forward and tapped his chest twice with his middle finger, as if checking something.

"How?" Qi Xie asked in a deep voice.

"The width of the bridge is three degrees." The man in black said, "Fourth degree means loss of heart, fifth degree means loss of soul."

"Then please." Qi Xie said.

The man in black nodded his head, one of them pulled out the yellow paper, quickly tore out the shape of a rabbit, sprayed it with water, and stuck it to his heart.One person pulled out the wooden sword, wiped his two fingers from bottom to top, suddenly stared straight at the paper rabbit, and slashed in the air!

Although there was only air there, Ding Li was shocked suddenly, as if his chest had been hit hard by something, and he was so uncomfortable that he wanted to vomit.

"It's okay." Qi Xie immediately supported him.

Ding Li pressed his chest and shook his head, unable to speak at all.

"Drink this." Qi Xie handed over a bowl of water.

Ding Li took a hard look. There were black flocs floating on the bottom of the bowl, probably something messy like talisman water. After hesitating, he looked at Qi Xie again, but saw a very concerned look.

After all, Ding Li couldn't refuse, took it over and swallowed it in one gulp, and then his eyes dimmed, and he fell into the opponent's arms...

Qi Xie supported the unconscious Ding Li and let him lean back in the chair: "How long will it take to wake up?"

"You can wake up after the wound of the broken bridge is healed, about an hour." The man in black said, "At that time, he will also forget about breaking the bridge tonight."

"Will you forget?" Qi Xie was a little surprised.

"Master Xun confessed to try to involve as little irrelevant people as possible."

"Alright." Qi Xie nodded, "There are two of you, Laohuahe."

"No, leave." The man in black clasped his fists, cleaned up the situation and left Zhiguai Zhai.

Qi Xi closes the door.

He first brought a set of pajamas to change for Ding Li, then carried him into the bedroom, covered him with a quilt, and faked a scene of a deep sleep, finally found his cell phone in his pants pocket, and deleted the recording just now.

"I really have nothing to do, so I'm just investigating something." Qi Xie looked at Ding Li, sat down slowly by the bed, and put the mahogany beads by the pillow.

"One hour, two hours, 12:30..." He muttered to himself again.

After sighing softly, Qi Xie didn't say another word, but just bent down and gently pressed his lips to his forehead.There is an old desk lamp on the bedside table. The low-wattage tungsten filament emits warm and soft yellow light, casting obliquely on the clothes of the two people. The sound of the rain outside the house is filtered by the window, turning it into a small Hissing sound, as if a silent film is playing...

Time is up.

Erasing footprints and other traces, Qixie closed the door of the house, walked down the stairs slowly, then took out the mobile phone that Guixintang allocated to him but never used, and made a call.

"Hello." The person on the other side picked up, his voice half dreamy and half awake.

"You look for me." Qi Xie said.

"Chen Jing?" Ding Li's tone was surprised, obviously he had forgotten everything just now.

"Yes, I'm in Yunnan, Xiaotao said that you need to find me."

Ding Li said, "It's all right."

Qi Harmony deliberately laughed out loud.

"What?" Ding Li asked.

"That thing is called lingering..." Qi Xie made up a series of lies casually.

"Is that so?" Ding Li pondered, then asked again, "What are you doing in Yunnan?"

"On business trip."

"What's the matter?"

"It's about Guixintang."

"Did Boss Xun ask you to solve another case?"

Qi Xie pretended to be tough: "You don't need to know."

Ding Li was a little unhappy: "I care about you."

Qi Xie's tone was cold: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine."

"That's fine." Ding Li was obviously angry, "Is there anything else, I'll hang up."

"Hang up." Qi Xie said.

The call is cut off immediately.

Qi Xie walked out of the stairway, and the rain poured down.

Raising his head, he looked towards the window of Zhiguai Zhai, separated by the torrential water curtain, there were only street lamps reflected in the window glass, the light was distant and faint.

☆、quick questions

After leaving Zhiguai Zhai, Qi Xie rushed back to Shanghai overnight, and it was already daylight when he arrived at Moon Garden.He planned to take a short nap before going to work at the headquarters, but unexpectedly fell into a deep sleep and did not wake up until he heard a knock on the door.

"Mr. Qi, it's already 08:30." Xiaotao reminded softly while standing at the door.

Qi Xie sat up with support, and felt sore all over his body when he moved his limbs.

Xiaotao felt that something was wrong, so she took a few steps closer to look at his face: "Is there something wrong with you?"

Qi Xie touched his forehead and said in a hoarse voice, "I seem to have a fever, please ask for a leave of absence for me."

Xiaotao quickly tested the temperature, but was surprised: "This is not a fever, your forehead is colder than my hands!"

"Really..." Qi Xie coughed a few times, "Could it be that Severed Finger took the wrong medicine again."

"I'll call Dr. Tie over now, and lie down quickly!" Xiaotao straightened up the pillow, helped Qi Xie to lean on him, and immediately called Guixintang's medical research institute.

When it was almost noon, the talent was long overdue.

"Oh, it's still warm in the room." Broken Finger took off his cap as soon as he entered the door, took off his round glasses that were foggy on the bridge of his nose, and wiped them on his clothes.

Seeing his unhurried manner, Xiaotao became annoyed: "Stop dawdling, Mr. Qi is still waiting!"

Duan Zhitie put his glasses back on, and said impatiently: "I said, why are you so anxious, isn't he still dead?"

"Bah, bah, bah! What are you talking about!" Xiaotao stared at him.

Severed finger Tiehe said: "Don't say he's not dead, the last time he died, didn't I bring him back to life? What does this little girl know about movies!"

Xiaotao had no choice but to say, "Yes, you are the most powerful, you are the most brilliant, quickly show the genius doctor Tie to others!"

"Do you need to say that?" Duan Zhitie put the medicine box in Xiao Tao's hand, patted the gown back and forth, and then went upstairs.

As soon as the door of the bedroom was pushed open, that arrogant expression immediately turned into a smiling face, and even bent down: "Oh, Mr. Qi, are you all right?"

Qi Xie put on his clothes and leaned on the bed: "If there is no problem, I won't look for you."

"Let me see, let me see." The severed finger walked over with iron steps, and placed the pulse pillow.

Qi Xie rolled up his sleeves and put his left wrist on it.

Duan Zhitie's expression was sometimes surprised, sometimes solemn, while he was checking his pulse, he touched his chin with the hand with the broken little finger.After a while, he coughed and snorted, as if he was going to make some important speech, but he deliberately put off saying it, waiting for someone to ask.

Qi Xie complied with his wishes: "What does Doctor Tie think?"

Duan Zhitie said seriously: "Mr. Qi, I see that you are sick this time... It's not from freezing, it's from being idle."

Xiaotao was unhappy: "Will you see a doctor? You say you're tired, and you're free!"

"What are you talking about! I'm a doctor and you are a doctor?" Duan Zhitie turned around and finished cursing, then laughed at Qi Xie, "I admit that I took the wrong medicine last time, but this time it has nothing to do with me! This 'Death' is like this, patients can't be idle, they get sick when they are idle, get up and take two steps and they'll be fine, take two steps, huh?"

"I can't walk." Qi Xie coughed twice, lying on the bed and not buying it.

"If you can't walk, there is a way..." Severed Finger Tie leaned closer and said in a low voice, "I have another trick that is quite effective, which is called collecting Yin and nourishing Yang. You ready-made girl, you don't need to use it for nothing."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Xiao Tao stomped her feet, her face turning pale with anger.

"Hey!" Severed Finger Tie sneered, "A bedside girl, why pretend to be serious!"

Qi Xie smiled softly: "Miss Peach is my housekeeper, not some bedside girl. I've said this for the first time now, and when I say it for the second time, Doctor Tie must be careful about his other side." Only the little finger."

Duan Zhi Tie was confident, squinting his eyes: "Look at what you said! At the beginning, Master Xun protected me to enter the Guixin Hall. Anyone who wants to touch my finger has to ask him if he agrees."

Qi Xie smiled: "That's natural."

"Okay." Duan Zhitie put away the pulse pillow, "I'll go back and grab two doses of medicine for you, and I'll let the bedside girl bring them over in the afternoon."

After speaking, just listen to click.

The unbroken little finger was held in Qi Xie's hand, and it was bent at ninety degrees in the opposite direction.

The pain came later, and there was a scream from the severed finger, even Xiao Tao was frightened, and stood aside with her mouth covered.

"Apologize." Qi Xie spat out two words.

The Severed Finger Tie was still screaming, and the ninety degrees were turned into one hundred degrees. Seeing that his fingers were about to collapse, he hurriedly shouted: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Mr. Qi has a lot!"

"Doctor Tie..." Qi Xie looked closely at the cold sweat that broke out from him, and said persuasively, "How do you apologize to me? You should apologize to Miss Tao."

Duan Zhitie's face turned blue: "Miss Tao, I'm really sorry! I have no guards! Please forgive me if I offend the girl!"

Only then did Qi Xie let go.

Broken Finger quickly stepped back a few steps, but dared not speak out, turned around and ran away holding his little finger.

Xiaotao heard the sound of footsteps fading away, and walked timidly to the bedside: "Mr. Qi, you... are too ruthless."

Qi Xie leaned back on the bed: "Could it be that Miss Tao can't bear it?"

"No..." Xiaotao lowered her head, "You also know that Doctor Tie is always outspoken, so why get so angry with him."

Qi Xie chuckled: "According to this, it was still my fault?"

"That's not what I meant!" Xiaotao quickly waved her hands, "I mean you are still waiting to see a doctor, there is no reason to delay treatment because I offended Dr. Tie!"

As soon as the words fell, Qi Xie suddenly grabbed her hand.

Xiaotao was startled, not knowing what he was going to do, so she saw Qi Xie put her hand on her forehead: "Do you think I'm alright?"

She froze for a moment, touched her forehead and said in surprise, "It's really good!"

"Duanzhitie is right, I really fell ill." Qi Xie neatly put on his clothes and got up, "You hang up the phone and tell Assistant Qian that I will go back to work at the headquarters now."

When Qian Sining walked into the office, Qi Xie was cleaning the table. She looked at her feet and saw that the floor tiles were not dry and had just been dragged. The potted plants in the corner had also been watered. Even the documents in the cabinet were arranged from large to small. The stacks were arranged, so he jokingly said: "Does Mr. Qi want to receive the salary of the cleaning staff?"

"I have this plan." Qi Xie hung the rag on the window sill, "No new cases recently?"

"This is rare, when did you become a workaholic?"

"Today." Qi Xie said, "Anyway, arrange something for me to do."

"Recently, Guixintang merged with the Special Information Department, and all departments are busy with rectification and adjustment, and have not accepted any new cases." Qian Sining thought for a while, "Otherwise, you can accompany Young Master Fang to the interview."

"What interview?" Qi Xie asked.

"Of course it's a job interview." Qian Sining sighed helplessly, "Master Fang has been out of shape since he graduated. Master Xun originally wanted him to take over Guixin Jingfang. He didn’t even find a job in the past, if you can lead him to the Tao this trip, it’s a big problem for Master Xun.”

Qi Xie leaned against the table: "How many young masters and ladies are there in Master Xun's family?"

"Eldest Young Master, Eldest Miss, and Young Master Fang." Qian Sining said, "There was originally a Second Young Master who died before the full moon."

Qi Xie noticed something: "Fang Xun seems to be different from the others."

"That's right..." Qian Sining hesitated for a moment, "Young Master Fang is the illegitimate son of Master Xun. At first, he followed his mother's surname, called Fang Xun. He was not recognized back to Xun's family until he graduated from elementary school, and his name was changed to Xun Fang."

Qi Harmony nodded.

Qian Sining looked at the time: "The interview started at one o'clock. I was going to pick him up when I had time, but I just had some things to do. If you don't mind, you can go with Master Fang."

"Okay." Qi Xie readily agreed.

When the car arrived at the apartment, Fang Xun was already waiting downstairs, with earphones hanging around his neck, a bag on his back, and a large drawing board in his hand.

"It's so cold!" Fang Xun opened the car door and got in, throwing his backpack on Qi Xie.

Master Zhang turned up the heater a bit, and asked with concern: "How is Master Fang doing?"

"Paper and pen are prepared." Fang Xun said.

"Do you still need to draw during the interview?" Master Zhang didn't understand.

"I need to draw quick questions." Fang Xun chewed his gum.

"What's the quick question?" Qi Xie asked.

Fang Xun was a little impatient: "It is to design a house within three hours and draw it on the A2 drawing."

Qi Xie and Master Zhang oh at the same time.

The season for fresh graduates to look for jobs had passed, and there were only three people participating in the interview. The examiner brought them into a conference room.Fang Xun quickly set up the drawing board, took out the paper, pen and ruler from his bag, and spread them all over the table.When the three of them were all ready, the examiner handed out the test book, and after a few casual confessions, he closed the door and left.

The partition walls of the conference room are all glass, Qi Xie stood outside the room, and could see clearly what was going on inside.

The moment he opened the topic, Fang Xun changed his usual idleness and showed a concentrated expression that he had never seen before. Then he spit out his chewing gum, put on his earphones, and spread out the drawings, as if a war had already started.Qi Xie had no concept of architectural design, but seeing the three of them just bent over their desks, without any small movements of looking around from the beginning to the end, it must have been very tight for time.

One hour, two hours, three hours.Fang Xun pressed the last few seconds to sign, and the other two dragged on for a few minutes and ended up smoothly. After a while, the examiner showed up and asked them to leave the drawings and go back to wait for news.

The three of them stretched their muscles and chatted while packing their things. Qi Xie also took the opportunity to stroll in.The three blueprints were laid out on the table, and the themes were all residential design. Two of them drew regular high-rise buildings, but one made a building complex: under the cover of a huge concrete half-dome, the square boxes formed five floors. Arranged, each household seems to be a drawer, and the roof of the lower floor is just the terrace of the upper floor.Some rough pillars rise high and low, holding platforms of different shapes in the air, some are ponds, some are flower beds, and the suspended iron stairs connect them, presenting a strange temperament that is both rural and sci-fi.

Needless to say, it was naturally Fang Xun's handwriting.

Qi Xie found it interesting, pointed to a long and narrow underground passage and asked, "What is this for?"

"Watching the sunrise." Fang Xun put a piece of chewing gum into his mouth, "The first ray of sunlight on the vernal equinox will shine in from here every year, piercing the darkness of 60 meters, and directly hitting the screen wall of the underground plaza."

Qi Xie pointed to the highest platform again: "This one."

"In the crematorium, the residents of the community burn it here when they hang up. Others can see it from any angle. Whenever there is smoke, it means that a neighbor has died. The ashes can be collected and a big tree can be planted."

Qi Xie nodded: "Why is it floating here?"

"It's an important foundation, and it will peel off a little under the sun and rain. Residents have to keep building soil on it, otherwise the whole house will collapse."

Qi Xie wanted to ask again, but Fang Xun yelled that he was hungry, picked up his bag and ran away.

Return to Moon Garden at night.

Xiao Tao took the coat and hung it in the closet, and asked him, "Are you feeling better?"

"Okay." Qi Xie said.

"That..." Xiaotao hesitated, "Doctor Tie went to sue Lord Xun today."

Qi Xie didn't care: "Let's cook some sweet soup later."

Xiaotao agreed, and then said: "Master Xun seems very angry, saying that I shouldn't talk back to Dr. Tie, and Dr. Tie shouldn't humiliate me, and you shouldn't break his little finger off, and tell the three of us to reflect..."

"I have nothing to reflect on." Qi Xie took out a can of tea from the cabinet and told her to brew it.

Xiaotao was stunned for a moment: "You are still taking medicine and can't drink tea."

Qi Xie leaned back on the sofa: "I want to drink."

"Mr. Qi, don't blame me for talking too much." Xiaotao pursed her lips, "You seem very unhappy when you come back from home, is it you and Dr. Ding..."

Qi Xie's eyes were cold: "You know you're talking too much, so why ask?"

Xiao Tao didn't dare to say any more, she took the pot to make tea, when she handed the cup to Qi Xie, she glanced at his face, but she couldn't see any obvious emotion.

"Sit down." Qi Xie slowly flipped the teacup lid, "Let's chat."

"Oh." Xiaotao took off her apron and put it by her hand.

Qi Xie took a sip of tea: "I asked you to tell Ding Li that I was not at home last time, how did you tell him?"

Xiaotao suddenly felt guilty: "I said you and Master Fang are on a business trip..."

"anything else."

"Nothing."

"Really?" Qi Xie was not angry.

Xiao Tao twisted the hem of her clothes: "I asked him...to call Young Master Fang to find you."

"You knew that I was not with Fang Xun at that time, why did you make up such an easy lie."

Her voice became smaller and smaller: "I thought Dr. Ding wouldn't call..."

"It's true that he didn't call, but you really hope that he will, so that he can easily find out that I told you to lie to him." Qi Xie put down his teacup calmly, "Xiao Tao, I know you are a smart girl, I just hope Don't be smart and do superfluous things."

When Xiaotao heard this, tears fell down.

Qi Xie handed over the tissue box: "Why are you crying, I didn't scold you."

Now she cried even harder: "You might as well scold me! I'm most afraid of you talking like this!"

"Why did I talk?"

"When you broke Doctor Tie's finger today, that's how you talked to him!"

Qi Xie smiled: "It seems that I scared you."

Xiao Tao rubbed her eyes.

"I'm sorry, can you?" Qi Xie looked down at her.

Xiao Tao nodded while sobbing.

"Okay, stop crying." Qi Xie softened his voice and patted her on the back.

"I used to think that Mr. Qi was a nice person. I didn't expect you to do such a thing suddenly today..." Xiaotao choked, "Doctor Tie's mouth is really annoying, but he came all the way to tell you today. Seeing a doctor, just as the front foot said to go back to grab the medicine for you, you snapped off the finger on the back foot, I think you are like this...It's really scary."

"Really." Qi Xie murmured and leaned back on the sofa, seeming to feel inappropriate, "So I really shouldn't be so angry with him."

Xiaotao hummed in a low voice: "And when you are angry, there is no prelude at all. No one can do anything to look at your face, and I don't know when you stepped on the tiger's tail, and then..."

"Then you were eaten by a tiger?" Qi Xie asked with a smile.

She nodded, sniffing.

"I see, I will pay attention next time." Qi Xie said.

Xiaotao wiped her eyes and stood up: "Then I'm going to cook sweet soup..."

"No need." Qi Xie said with a smile, "Today I'll cook for you, as an apology."

Xiao Tao even said no, but he was firm and had no choice but to let him into the kitchen.
