Pisces

After a long time, Luomei gradually withdrew from the stage of the times, and those who worked hard for this were commended.

Mrs. Ji has achieved the fame and wealth she once dreamed of, and even an honorary title.

But she found that she was not happy.

At that time, the pursuit of fame and fortune was based on a better life, because when she said that, she still had a lover by her side.

But now that the person she loves the most is gone, it doesn't make sense for her to ask for these fake things.

Her migraines came back.

At around three o'clock in the middle of the night, Mrs. Ji woke up with a severe headache. She got up to take medicine with her temples in her hands, but accidentally knocked down the cup when she stretched out her hand.

The water flowed from the bedside table all the way to the floor. She sat up hastily, and felt that the other side of the bed had sunk slightly.

Mrs. Ji subconsciously said: "You sleep a little longer, I'll go and pour the water myself..."

This time, no one answered her.

"Oh, yes...she's gone."

Mrs. Ji may have been tormented by a headache and got out of the hallucinations. She got out of bed and didn't dare to look back.

When she put on her clothes and stood on the ground, she suddenly felt that this scene was a little familiar. When was it? It seemed that that night, she coaxed Lu Wan to express her thoughts, and the other party took the initiative to reveal her heart because she believed in her, but she refused up.

Also in this position, when she was standing, Lu Wan fell off the bed all of a sudden, but she quickly walked out of the door without looking back at her.

Mrs. Ji's eyes were a little dry. She finally turned her head this time, but there was no girl who fell down in embarrassment on the bed, and there was not even a slight dent in the quilt.

Lu Wan is a hard-working girl. When she was staying with Madam Ji, she never dared to take anything as her own. She would put everything back in place quickly after she used it, and she would take the initiative to take things from her servants when she received them. Say thank you.

She never took the initiative to ask herself what she wanted, and except for a few pieces of clothes that she often wore, she basically left nothing behind.

By the way, clothes.

Mrs. Ji didn't care about putting on her shoes, and ran to Lu Wan's closet barefoot.

She took a deep breath, opened the closet abruptly, and froze in place for a moment—the closet was empty.

It turns out that Lu Wan didn't plan to come back after going out that time!Didn't she call it home?

Mrs. Ji covered her head in despair and resentment and called her: "Lu Wan!"

This voice alarmed the servants guarding the gate, they rushed in and helped Mrs. Ji up on the ground.

"What's the matter with you, madam? Miss Lu has been away for a long time."

It was the subordinate's words that woke her up, and she wondered if someone threw away Lu Wan's things on their own initiative.

So she grabbed people with red eyes and asked: "Who threw away Lu Wan's clothes? Did I let you move!"

"No, ma'am, the girl gave me a big bag of clothes that day, and said that I would not wear them anymore, and asked me to throw them away or donate them, and I will buy new ones when I have a chance..."

Mrs. Ji gritted her teeth tightly, frowned, and the tears couldn't stop falling.

After this toss, she immediately fainted from a headache.

When I woke up again, there was a string of red beads on the bedside table.

"Ma'am, I just wiped the water on the bedside table, and found a bracelet inside. It looks exactly like the one on the girl's hand, so I put it there for you."

Mrs. Ji grabbed the cold pearl and hid it in her heart like a treasure.

Lu Chenqiong's wishful thinking didn't work out, he tricked everyone behind their backs, and when they came out, they immediately dealt with him.

When Lu Chenqiong was taken away, she looked back at her little granddaughter.

"Wanwan, come here and let grandpa take another look."

The immature little girl has grown into a delicate girl. The girl stood there and looked at him silently: "Grandpa, you did something wrong. I don't understand why you want to kill and set fire. My sister Lu died!" In that fire, I will never forgive you."

Lu Chenqiong knew that this child liked Lu Wan since he was a child, and would beg him to find Lu Wan every time he cried, but he didn't think too much about it, looking at it now, the injustice had been planted many years ago.

On the day Lu Chenqiong was convicted, Mrs. Ji died of illness.

Only Qi Xi and Qi Qiao were left in Dong Shouyi's five seats.The two of them started to rectify Dongshouyi, removed some necessary institutions, cut down other departments, and the five major seats would no longer exist.

Instead of being obsessed with power, they let go of power together, and they lived a lot more leisurely.

"Did you hear that? The New Year's bell has already struck, and our President Qi has not yet learned how to make dumplings." Qi Qiao not only squeezed Qi Xi's standing, but also smiled teasingly at her, "Hey, you The steamed stuffed buns are made to look like that..."

Qi Xi couldn't bear it anymore, and stretched out her hand to smear her face with flour: "Don't laugh at me...that's a dumpling."

The New Year's bell had passed, and the two finally made dumplings at one o'clock in the middle of the night.

"I'm too tired to eat."

"Me too... Let's cook it tomorrow morning."

The two of them finally cleaned up the battlefield and were about to go back to the bedroom to rest when they heard the faint barking of a puppy from the study.

Qi Xi heard this afternoon that Xiao Chen sent a dog to Qi Qiao, but she didn't know where Qi Qiao put the dog. Now it seems... She actually let the dog stay in the study alone?

"There are still important documents in the study!" Qi Xi's blood pressure soared at the thought of large dogs making a mess of the study, she quickly came to the door of the study, and chose to open the door directly because she was afraid of dogs and protecting the documents.

Qi Xi: "..."

Qi Qiao's voice came from a distance: "What's the matter? Has it run out of milk powder?"

"Is this the big dog you said you wanted to raise?" Qi Xi held the palm-sized puppy, not knowing what to say for a while, "I'm not that afraid of dogs, you can raise a big one."

"A dog has to be raised from an early age to have a sense of accomplishment." Qi Qiao washed his hands and picked up the puppy, "Its father is the most accomplished military dog ​​in Siyuyuan, so Xiao Chen deliberately snatched his son for us. keep."

The young dog is not very good at barking. When it is in Qiqiao's arms, it can only bark. It is as petite as a cat.

Qi Xi was five meters away from it: "I'll leave it to you to name it."

"When the dog we raise grows up, it must be the most majestic in the whole Siyuyuan, so we have to give it a domineering name." Qi Qiao squeezed its soft paw pad, "Why don't we just call it ' Chirp it."

Qi Qiao really likes dogs very much, and Qi Xi also knows that she has realized the freedom of keeping dogs after moving here, so she indulges her love for dogs.I am afraid of dogs, but I can overcome it, and I won't let Qi Qiao leave the dog alone in the study.

Qi Xi said to her: "Jiujiu is still young, if you don't worry about putting it in the study room, you can bring it to the bedroom."

Qi Qiao refused, saying: "Don't let it stick too much to us, or it will be sad when it is sent away in the future."

Qi Xi almost thought she heard it wrong: "Why did you send it away?"

"As a pup of Siyuyuan, it would be really useless if I kept it at home all the time. I just raised it during the Chinese New Year to satisfy my greed, and I will return it to Siyuyuan after the Spring Festival holiday. "Qi Qiao said, "When it reaches the age to quit, I will take it home."

After the puppy was fully grown, Qi Qiao and Qi Xi often took it out to play.

The majestic German Shepherd has been raised with black hair, and his personality is very similar to Qi Qiao. He loves to play very much. When the fun comes to play, Qi Qiao can't call him back.

It's time for Qi Xi to make an appearance.

Qi Xi was afraid of dogs, but Jiujiu was also afraid of Qi Xi because he was naturally afraid of mermaids.

They were afraid of each other, so they got along very politely.

Qi Xi told it to go home, no matter it was running wild or having fun, it would quickly hand it to Qi Xi with the dog leash in its mouth.

Even though Qi Xi has kept it for so long, she still gets goosebumps when she sees her sharp canine teeth.She took the rope with trembling fingers, and pulled Jiujiu back to Qi Qiao without much effort.

Qi Qiao was dumbfounded.

When she went out for a walk with the dog, she hadn't been dragged by the rope for a long distance by the dog in reverse. Usually, she was led by the rope in the community, so it wouldn't be too miserable. If she was in the wild, once the rope was released-let go.It could kill half her life when she called back.

"Don't stand still, hold on to the rope." Qi Xi didn't shake her hands like this when she raised the gun, she was a little embarrassed, and quickly gave the rope to Qi Qiao.

Heartbroken, Qi Qiao finally accepted the reality. She petted the mighty big dog and sat on the grass recklessly.

Qi Xi walked around to the other side of her and put a prayer between him and the big dog before he dared to sit down.

"My dog, are you still scared now?"

This is the reason why Qi Qiao has never dared to bring dogs home. She respects Qi Xi's preferences and understands Qi Xi's fears. No matter how outrageous these likes and dislikes are, she has never told her. This time, she I'm going to say it - Qi Xi looks really afraid of dogs, and she doesn't plan to take Jiujiu home in the future.

"Not afraid." Qi Xi insisted, "Jiujiu is the dog I grew up with. When I was a child, it was hungry in the middle of the night, and you fell asleep unconsciously, but I hugged and fed it."

Jiujiu was only the size of a fist when he was a child, but when he grew up, he was half the height of a person. When he threw himself into Qiqiao's arms, he could push Qiqiao back several steps.

Due to the bad nature of mermaids, except for those with wings, Qi Xi neither likes nor gets close to many animals.And the soft and sticky animals will walk around when they see a fierce species like a mermaid.

Avoid each other, but there is no emotion.

Qi Qiaoming said: "But I think you are very afraid of tweeting now."

Qi Xi: "That's because of tweeting it..."

The two of them sat on the grass and shouted "Jiujiu" each, and the big dog, which was so tired to stick out its tongue, heard it and immediately came over wagging its tail.

Qi Qiao opened her arms towards it, but Jiu Jiu skipped her and ran directly to Qi Xi's place - this was the first time Qi Xi called it after such a long time!Are you flattered?

Qi Xi didn't react immediately, a big dog was suddenly stuffed into her arms.She froze in place, raising her arms in bewilderment.

Qi Qiao was worried that she would be frightened, so she came over in a hurry to take away Jiujiu.

"It's okay, Joe, I'm really not afraid anymore." Qi Xi stopped her movements, then took a deep breath and put her hands on Jiujiu's head.

The fur of the big dog shines beautifully in the sun, and it feels warm to the touch. It feels great and healing.

Jiujiu happily sniffed her body, rubbed his head on the back of her hand affectionately, couldn't help sticking out his tongue to lick her palm, and finally circled around her happily.

One person, one dog, through this opportunity, the relationship has been greatly shortened.

Jiujiu is a serious and aloof dog at work, basically he doesn’t get close to anyone, and because he is nicknamed “the dog of the director’s family”, his temper is a little arrogant, and everyone gives him a little face in private, No one touches the dog, and no one forcibly strokes the dog, because Xiao Chen and the others know that Qi Qiao himself is his humble shit-shoveling officer, so it is normal for him to be indifferent to everyone.

But in the past few days, Qi Qiao expressed a little jealousy.

A fool said that he slipped his tongue, and praised Jiujiu in front of Qiqiao. The original words are like this-I found a problem, Jiujiu is very good to Chairman Qi, even better than our director, it should not be logically, Our director was the first to take him home, and I heard that Chairman Qi doesn't like dogs?

As soon as the words fell, the humble Qi Qiao stood up holding her heart, and went outside to be alone.

The speaker looked at everyone inexplicably: "What happened to the director?"

Xiao Chen rubbed his eyebrows and said: "There are idiots, I won't say who it is."

This is indeed the case. When Qi Qiao returned home one day, she saw Qi Xi sitting on the sofa with a big dog surrounded by a blanket. He went back and continued to sit beside Qi Xi and watch TV.

Qi Xi held a can of teething sticks in her hand and fed them one by one.

Qi Qiao leaned on the door frame, thinking——she has never fed me snacks with her own hands, is that reasonable?

That night, Qi Qiao used this reason to discuss with Qi Xi all night, tossing Qi Xi so much that she didn't get up the next day.

In the morning, Qi Qiao opened the door contentedly.

As soon as he lowered his head, Jiujiu at the door tilted his head and looked in the door, as if he was very concerned about Qi Xi's safety.

Qi Qiao closed the door mercilessly: "Don't look, that's my wife, stay away from her, it's like you've never seen a mermaid before, it's worthless."

Chirp:? ? ?

Have you never seen a mermaid?

Qi Qiao skillfully took leave of absence for Qi Xi, and left the work to Lu Yan and the others.

Qin Shuhuai waited for Lu Yan for a long time, and at nine o'clock in the evening, the other party was still working overtime.

Qin Shuhuai couldn't bear it anymore, and made a phone call to Qi Qiao: "Director Qi, please don't bother our president next time, as soon as she asks for leave, Lu Yan will have to work overtime, and it's nine o'clock now, and Lu Yan is still working overtime ..."

Qi Qiao's mobile phone was placed on the dining table, and Qi Xi turned it on for her in advance. Upon hearing this, Qi Xi took the lead in clarifying: "No, I don't have any work recently, and Xiaolu probably has nothing to do. Come to work overtime for me?"

Qi Qiao was chopping vegetables: "I've died unjustly."

Tan Shuhuai gritted his teeth, and said meaningfully, "That's right."

Suddenly, Qi Qiao and Qi Xi fell silent in a tacit understanding.The two reacted at the same time.

They seemed to have hurt Lu Yan just now.

Tan Shuhuai hung up the phone politely: "I'm bothering you two, I'll go and ask myself."

Qi Qiao asked Qi Xi a little uncertainly: "I hope the little passerby is okay."

Qi Xi smiled sincerely: "I hope so."

Lu Yan didn't realize that he was going to be ill soon, he was still hiding in his office "working overtime", the cleaning aunts had left, it was very quiet here, he opened another bag of potato chips, and watched the TV series eat snack.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door in the silence.

Lu Yan swallowed a piece of potato chips with a "click": "Please come in."

Qin Shuhuai came in with a dark face.

Thinking that it was Auntie Cleaning who came to throw out the trash, Lu Yan said without looking back, "Auntie, I'll just take the trash away by myself, you go first, I'll turn off the lights myself."

"Working overtime? Can't finish? Be late tonight?" Tan Shuhuai, who had been waiting for him outside, gritted his teeth and said, "Is that why you don't want to go home?"

Lu Yan shook his hand, and the potato chips fell to the ground.

Tan Shuhuai picked up the potato chips and put them on the table, then leaned down to meet his eyes: "Do you have any opinion on me?"

How dare Lu Yan have any objections to him, he doesn't want to go home so early, because if he returns early, the night will be longer.

Tan Shuhuai seems to be introverted, but in fact there are many tricks. Lu Yan wants to pass out every time he gets down, and he can't figure out why he is so obsessed with these things... Does love taste like potato chips?

The answer is no.

Lu Yan was blunt and strong: "Yes, I don't like tricks, can you be more simple?"

Tan Shuhuai didn't expect this to be the result. He thought for a while, then gave in and said, "Okay, it's good that you like to go back to basics."

"Go home." Lu Yan turned off the computer and breathed a sigh of relief, "It's getting late today, go to bed early, I have to come early tomorrow too."

Tan Shuhuai didn't move, he said, "There's no one outside."

Lu Yan was puzzled: "I know, it's getting late."

Tan Shuhuai: "Well...it's not too early to go back."

Seeing the other person's eyes gradually turning deep purple, Lu Yan suddenly felt something was wrong, and before he could run away, the lights in the office went out.

Lu Yan personally comprehended how Tan Shuhuai sent himself away wave after wave in a "simple" way.The movements were too classic and simple, Lu Yan couldn't hold back, and begged him in a low voice: "Don't keep doing this, my legs are numb."

That night, Qi Qiao received a message.The welfare home that she and Qi Xi funded together will officially start operating tomorrow, and the other party invited her and Qi Xi to visit.

The two of them had been resting for a whole day, and they were not very sleepy. It just so happened that they had nothing to do recently, so the two of them drove overnight.

"According to your instruction, the fire prevention facilities are all top-notch, and the nurses are all fresh graduates. Their professional knowledge and all aspects of quality have been strictly screened and assessed. You two come here to have a look..."

The girl who was in charge of introducing them spoke seriously, and Qi Xi handed her a bottle of water.

"Thank you." The girl couldn't help but praised Qi Qiao when she was resting, "Director, you are really careful, and you also emphasized with them that the best fire prevention facilities should be installed. The weather here is dry, and many large buildings are easy to burn. There is a small fire, and many people will not install such a huge fire protection equipment in order to save money."

The fire protection facilities of this orphanage are top-notch in the country. Many large companies have not used this technology, and only the Institute of Special Science and Technology and here have taken the lead in using it.

The girl just knew that the fire protection here was very good, but she didn't know how good it was.

Qi Qiao didn't explain much, she smiled slightly and said: "Although the turning point of my life is accompanied by fire every time, I hope that more people will have a smooth life without disasters or difficulties."

When Qi Xi heard this sentence, she just pushed open the window, the breeze picked up her hair, and the mermaid's singing was soft and tender. She sang a sentence and turned her head with a smile: "I wish your wishes come true, and bless us from now on well."
