play off

In the next few days, Duan Yan kept thinking over and over again what Xiang Mingqiu said to him that night.

He is actually not sure which type the Akita Inu said he likes.

Since he was a child, he has never been tempted by anyone. How does it feel to like someone?

This is somewhat incomprehensible to him.

Duan Yan was sitting in the hall, practicing with fitness dumbbells, while thinking about emotional issues.

The mobile phone on the table rang, and Xia Lerong was looking for him for something. As soon as the phone was connected, her voice came over endlessly: "Son, do you remember Uncle Zhang? He has a very good relationship with your father Brother, he used to come to our house as a guest."

Duan Yan interrupted her: "Mom, just get down to business."

"It's like this. Your Uncle Zhang said he wanted to introduce someone to you. After all, he often has business dealings with our company. It's not good to refuse directly. Mom doesn't insist on you going on a blind date. Anyway, we just want to have a meal together. , it’s good to put on a show, are you free next week? If possible, I’ll promise you.”

Duan Yan didn't care: "It's up to you to arrange."

After training with the equipment, he put down the dumbbells in his hand, wiped off his sweat with a dry towel, drank some water and rested for a while, then returned to the computer desk and started drawing.

Although it has only been more than a month since the Weibo account was opened, it has already accumulated [-] fans, which is a good achievement.

Duan Yan didn't forget his real purpose of opening this Weibo. After rejecting batch after batch of low-price solicitations, he finally got a slightly more generous client today.

The other party is a game production company, and I hope to ask him to help draw a promotional illustration for a mobile game.

Duan Yan has never played that game, but he often heard that it is quite popular right now.

The price given there is six figures. If Duan Yan is interested, he can add a friend to discuss further.

Probably due to the low price comparisons before, Duan Yan is quite satisfied with the price of the manuscript. Of course, it is only a preliminary negotiation at present, and maybe he can raise the price a little later.

He then sent a reply to the other party, and attached his contact information at the end.

A notification sounded suddenly on the WeChat computer, and Duan Yan thought that the other party had sent the friend verification so quickly.

After clicking on the icon in the lower right corner, I realized that the message was from Ajie.

[Ajie]: Brother Yan, it's not good!Brother Qiu, he's in the hospital!

The moment Duan Yan finished reading the message, his mind seemed to be shaken, and he couldn't think of anything.

After 1 minute, Duan Yan who came back to his senses didn't even have time to change his clothes. He took his keys and mobile phone and drove to the hospital.

As a result, the car drove halfway, only to realize that he forgot to ask Ajie which hospital it was, so he called Ajie and learned about Xiang Mingqiu's situation by the way.

"Tell me exactly what's going on."

"It's like this, Brother Yan..." Ajie explained Xiang Mingqiu's admission to the hospital in as concise a way as possible.

In the afternoon, someone asked Xiang Mingqiu to race along the road around the mountain. When he was on the last lap before the finish line, he made a slight mistake in cornering, and he crashed into the wall of the mountain with his car.

"Actually, it's not the first time for Brother Qiu to play this kind of dangerous race with others. He used to do this often. At that time, the nightclub just opened, and the start was not smooth. It was paid off. Later, the nightclub business became more and more prosperous. In the past two years, Brother Qiu has basically insulated from that kind of life-threatening competition. I didn’t expect that he would return to his old business for some reason recently, alas!” Ajie said and sighed, “ This thing is too dangerous, last year there was a person in our rider group racing there, and now it’s cold.”

Duan Yan found Xiang Mingqiu in the orthopedic ward of the hospital, wearing a blue and white doctor-patient uniform. His forehead and face were covered with white gauze, and his left hand was put in a cast because of a fracture. There were many severe abrasions, but fortunately they were not life-threatening. To be on the safe side, the doctor suggested that he should be hospitalized for one day for observation, and then he could be discharged if there was no serious problem.

Xiang Mingqiu's mental state was not bad, and when he saw Duan Yan walking into the ward, he would greet him with a smile.

Duan Yan strode to the hospital bed, and glanced at him coldly: "You asked Ajie to find me?"

"Originally, I wanted to call you personally, but I didn't know how to tell you, so I asked Ajie."

"Xiang Mingqiu, are you so full that you have nothing to do and want to risk your life to play that kind of competition?!"

Xiang Mingqiu had no choice but to explain: "I'm not willing to do this kind of thing either. The kennel has been short of money recently, so I just wanted to make some extra money to help make up for it. Motorcycle racing is risky, but the local tyrants they bet on If you win a game, you can get hundreds of thousands, which is not a loss."

Duan Yan rolled his eyes, and said admonishingly, "Have you won any money now? You didn't get the money, and you ended up paying the medical expenses. Is it worth it? Xiang Mingqiu, do you have any brains?"

Xiang Mingqiu laughed instead, and looked at him jokingly: "Huo Huo Huo, are you nervous about me?"

Duan Yan pretended to be intermittently deaf, so he couldn't hear what he said just now: "I think you just lost your hand, you are alive and well, since I have nothing to do, I will go back first."

After he finished speaking, he just turned around and Xiang Mingqiu grabbed his clothes: "Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo, I suddenly want to eat McDonald's chocolate sundae, please help me buy one."

"Isn't Ajie here? You let him go."

"Ajie has gone back just now, and he will bring me food later."

"Then ask him to buy it for you at night."

"Can't we eat now?" Xiang Mingqiu stared at him.

With that bruised face, coupled with a pair of pitiful begging eyes, Duan Yan couldn't stand being stared at by him.

"Okay, if there is anything else you want to buy, just say it all at once, and I will hurry back after buying it."

McDonald's is just tens of meters away from the hospital. Duan Yan had just walked out of the hospital gate when someone suddenly called his name: "Xiao Yan!"

Xunsheng looked to the right, and Xia Lerong walked over from him while waving: "Son, why are you here? What's wrong?"

"My friend is in the hospital, I'll come and see him." Duan Yan made up a lie, and then asked, "Mom, why are you in the hospital too?"

Xia Lerong planned to go to the cosmetology department to get a skin resurfacing treatment. She had a small acne pit on her temples, which is usually hard to see, but women always love beauty, and no blemishes are allowed to appear.

"Do you want me to accompany you?" Duan Yan asked habitually.

"No, no, you're just waiting, wasting time. Oh yes, I've already made an appointment with your Uncle Zhang to go out for dinner next Saturday. Remember to tidy up by then."

The mother and son chatted briefly, and then parted ways.

As soon as Duan Yan left, Xia Lerong's friend from the cosmetology department called her.

"Arong, where are you now? How long will it take?"

"It's already at the entrance of the hospital, wait for me a little longer!" Xia Lerong quickened her pace and walked towards the beauty department building.

"By the way, your son seems to have come to our hospital."

"I know, I just ran into him, and the kid said he was visiting a friend."

"So that's his friend? I saw someone posted their photo in the doctor group just now. His friend is very handsome and looks like the half-blood prince."

"Really?" Xia Lerong smiled casually, "I didn't even know he had a friend of mixed blood by his side, please send it here for me to see."

After hanging up, Xia Lerong received a picture from a friend, and when she clicked on it, she stopped in her tracks, feeling a little dazed.

She pretended to be unintentional, and after asking the other party for details, she turned and walked towards the hospital building next door.

The Orthopedics Department is on the 17th floor. After taking the elevator to the floor, Xia Lerong went straight to the 13th ward.

She didn't dare to go in, but stood at the door, poked her head quietly, and glanced inside.

Duan Yan moved very quickly, he has already returned from shopping at McDonald's.

He was sitting in front of the hospital bed, holding a chocolate sundae in his hand, holding a spoon, and feeding it into Xiang Mingqiu's mouth.

While feeding, he complained: "Don't you still have a hand? You can't eat by yourself?!"

Sitting on the bed, Xiang Mingqiu began to sell miserably again: "The other hand hurts too, I can't lift it up."

"you deserve it."

The two were bickering, the relationship between them was much better than Xia Lerong imagined.

Just curious, when did they become so close?

The more she thought about it, the more she didn't understand, so she took out her phone and sent a message to Duan Yan.

[Xia Lerong]: Son, where are you now?

【Duan Yan】: On the way back to the kennel

[Xia Lerong]: Oh, what's the name of your friend who was hospitalized?

[Duan Yan]: You probably don’t know him

[Xia Lerong]: Then what's his name?

[Duan Yan]: I'm driving now, don't talk anymore

[Xia Lerong]: Okay, then drive carefully on the road

[Duan Yan]: Yes

Xia Lerong stared at the conversation on the screen, lost in thought.

Why did the son open his eyes and talk nonsense?
