Jiang Qi finally successfully signed a two-year contract with the delegation.After personally sending the other party's group out of the company to watch them get in the car and leave, Jiang Qi could no longer maintain his composure.He immediately turned around and strode towards the lounge.

"Is anyone there?" Jiang Qi asked seriously as he passed by the front desk.

"Yes, Mr. Jiang." The front desk replied, watching Jiang Qi walk in without looking back.

At the door, Jiang Qi, who was anxious all the way, stopped outside the door, hesitant.He was very conflicted in his heart, he wanted to thank Gu Qinghan, but he couldn't let it go, he couldn't face Gu Qinghan with a smile.

While hesitating, there was a crisp sound from the door, as if a glass container had fallen to the ground. Jiang Qi subconsciously pushed the door open, and saw Gu Qinghan squatting on the side of the sofa with his head bowed, in front of him were many glasses, large and small. Fragments, he didn't seem to realize that Jiang Qi was coming, and he didn't make any other moves.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Qi walked over a few steps, feeling something was wrong.

Gu Qinghan raised his head bluntly, his eyes were a little distracted.His complexion was pale at this moment, and the slight redness when he came had already faded.Jiang Qi saw that his lips moved slightly, but he didn't make a sound. Looking extremely weak, he immediately put one hand under his armpit and the other around his shoulder, and half-supported and half-hugged him onto the sofa.

"Hypoglycemia?" Seeing the change in Jiang Qi's body position, Gu Qinghan frowned uncomfortably.

"Send some sweets to the lounge." Jiang Qi immediately sent a voice message to the secretary, and at the same time, he did not forget to take a new cup to drink warm water.

Gu Qinghan leaned on the sofa and didn't move. With his eyes closed, his chest heaved messily, and his breathing was somewhat short of breath.

Jiang Qi looked anxious and was at a loss when the secretary sent a box of snacks and a few pieces of chocolate.Jiang Qi tore off the foil and stuffed the chocolate into Gu Qinghan's mouth.

He frowned tightly, and sat beside Gu Qinghan not daring to breathe, until after ten minutes, Gu Qinghan slowly opened his eyes.

"..." Jiang Qi wanted to say something, but his throat was blocked and he couldn't say a word.On the other hand, Gu Qinghan smiled awkwardly, and said in a low voice, "Is everything going well?"

Jiang Qi nodded.

"Thank you very much today, I will return this favor."

Gu Qinghan sat up straight on the sofa, and smiled lightly, "You never owe me anything," he said, "On the contrary, I owe you a lot."

Jiang Qi raised his head to look at him, and saw a calm and gentle smile on his tired eyes, "So no matter today or in the future, if you need my help, you don't have to feel burdened, annoyed or embarrassed."

This sentence hit the nail on the head, and he predicted Jiang Qi's entangled heart.

"Of course, as you said, unless you need it, I will stay away from you." At the end of Gu Qinghan's words, his voice was a little low. He turned his face and coughed muffledly.

Jiang Qi looked at him, feeling tightness in his chest.

Gu Qinghan slowly bent down to pick up the pieces, "It's a pity," he said softly, "I broke such a good cup."

Jiang Qi stood up suddenly, he felt that something was going to break through the last line of defense in his heart.He strode to the window and opened it, and the cold wind hit his face, which woke him up.

"Anyway, thank you today." Jiang Qi turned around again, his voice was cold and calm, "The past is meaningless, just forget it, don't mention it again."

"Yes." Gu Qinghan nodded, he threw the broken glass he picked up into the trash can, and said to Jiang Qi, "I'm leaving first."

Jiang Qi called to him, "I want to go back too, let's go together."

The sleet has not stopped yet, and it is falling rustlingly, making this winter even colder and colder.Jiang Qi was driving, and Gu Qinghan was sitting in the passenger seat. Neither of them spoke, only suppressed coughing.

Jiang Qi's cell phone rang through the car's Bluetooth, and he answered it absent-mindedly. It was Lin Chen.

"Brother, have you had lunch yet?" Lin Chen's voice sounded cheerful and energetic.

"Not yet." Jiang Qi replied.

"Aren't you very busy recently? Pay attention to your body and eat on time." Lin Chen instructed, "When are you going home? I've been waiting for you for many days."

Jiang Qi subconsciously glanced at Gu Qinghan, who remained expressionless and silent as if he hadn't heard the call.

"Go back tonight." Jiang Qi replied and hung up.

Gu Qinghan quietly looked at the road ahead, all he could see was the misty rain and snow under the gloomy sky.Two years ago, in a foreign country, he finally made up his mind to fly across thousands of mountains and rivers regardless of his own life. When he arrived at the destination, the sky was cloudy and drizzled.Running away alone and returning alone, he said goodbye to Jiang Qi in his heart.

Jiang Qi heard the coughing on his side getting louder, and from the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Gu Qinghan taking out a tissue, covering his mouth and nose, and coughing twice suppressedly.

"Are you okay?" Jiang Qi asked bluntly.

Gu Qinghan shook his head, secretly clenched his stomach with one hand, he hadn't eaten all morning, his stomach acid was corroding and hurting.

Jiang Qi was still worried, and when he waited for the red light, he turned to look at him, and saw that he was facing the car window on the right, unable to see his face.Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the tissue in his hand, with some faint red blood stains on it, Jiang Qi felt a little bit in his heart, "Where did the blood come from?"

Gu Qinghan turned his head and looked at him with some confusion.

Jiang Qi stared straight at the tissue soaked in blood in his hand.

"I scratched my hand while picking up glass." Gu Qinghan replied, calmly putting his hand into the pocket of the down jacket that had already filled a lot of tissues.

Neither of them said a word for the rest of the way.

Before dinner, Gu Nian lay down on the table to draw, using a brown crayon to paint a small animal with a big tail.

Gu Qinghan passed by, lowered his head and asked, "What is Niannian painting?"

"It's a dog!" The child replied proudly, "I'm going to give it to the dog after the painting is finished, the dog of my uncle's house." He pointed in the direction of the door.

Gu Qinghan couldn't help laughing, "Okay."

The doorbell rang, and Gu Qinghan went to open the door. It was a delivery boy carrying a box, "Mr. Gu?"

Gu Qinghan nodded, a little puzzled, he never ordered takeaway at home.

"Hello, your friend ordered the cake for you, please sign for it."

Confused, Gu Qinghan closed the door and opened the box. Inside were several small cakes with different flavors and shapes.He had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm it.

"Father, it's so beautiful." Gu Nian ran over and stuck to Gu Qinghan's body, "Can I eat? I haven't eaten for a long time..."

The little glutton who was strictly controlled by sweets looked at Gu Qinghan, and Gu Qinghan nodded helplessly, "You can only eat a little, or you will get tooth decay."
