Stupid, you are the substitute!

Since Bai Jie gave him a new sleeping pill, Chi Qiu felt that his sleep quality had improved a lot, and he had less frequent tossing and turning waking up at night.

But he always felt like he was hallucinating.

Occasionally at night when he was in a daze, he would feel someone hugging him, and when he woke up the next day, he was alone on the bed.

When it was more serious, he would be surrounded by a very reassuring smell in his dreams, exactly the same as the smell that Qin Yan got close to that night, and he would indulge in it unconsciously.But when he wakes up and the dream disappears, his heart will be empty again.

But occasionally, he would feel that those were not dreams, but before that, Qin Yan had never appeared in his dreams, and he couldn't compare them.

All kinds of emotions are intertwined, making him more sensitive.

It wasn't until Aunt Liu bought a bag of red and round persimmons one day that he realized that autumn was here.

So all sensitive emotions have an explanation, or an excuse.

Sometimes when he suddenly came to his senses, Chi Qiu would be confused by his sudden extra emotions.

He began to wonder whether it was Qiu or Qin Yan who made him emotionally sensitive.

Until one day at noon, he woke up after squinting on the recliner for a while, and saw that the rainstorm was about to fall outside the window, and then the dense raindrops hit the window in unison, the surrounding area was dark, and there was no light in the room.

For a moment, it seemed that he was the only one left in the whole world, and the feeling of loneliness suddenly struck.

He suddenly remembered that there seemed to be such a thunderstorm day, he curled up helplessly in the bed, and finally a warm and strong embrace surrounded him, giving him a safe haven.

But now, he has nothing.

----

During the days of recuperation, Chi Qiu never took a step out of the apartment. Occasionally when the sun was shining, he would stand on the balcony to see the world outside, like an abandoned puppet doll, all alone.

Chi Qiu's mental state got worse.

Even when he was taking a nap during the day, he would dream of Qin Yan. The feeling was clearer than at night. He could feel Qin Yan's breathing and heartbeat, but when he woke up, there was still nothing.

Aunt Liu could see his loneliness. When she was cleaning the room once, she saw the guitar in the study and thought that Chi Qiu would relieve boredom, so she put it in a conspicuous place. But after Chi Qiu saw it, she just touched it. Touched, and put the guitar in a deeper corner.

Chi Qiu was always sleepy and didn't seem to be interested in anything until one time, when he passed by the kitchen, Aunt Liu was making persimmon cakes. Arrived freshly baked first.

The persimmons are steamed soft and mixed with glutinous rice flour, and finally kneaded into balls and steamed in a pan, it is glutinous when bitten down.

Sweets always heal the heart easily.

After eating, Chi Qiu caught a glimpse of the oven from the corner of his eye, and was a little surprised, "There are still mooncakes?"

Aunt Liu made gestures while talking, finally seeing him willing to speak, she happily explained: "Yes, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the day after tomorrow."

Chi Qiu nodded, thought of something, and said: "Then you go and ask Assistant Wen for a few days off to go home for the holidays."

Aunt Liu quickly waved her hands, looking embarrassed.

"It's okay, I'm almost ready." Chi Qiu probably understood her concerns, and said again, "I'll help you talk to Assistant Wen later."

"How good is this..." Aunt Liu was overwhelmed with joy.

Chi Qiu suddenly thought of something, and changed the subject: "Are there any ingredients for mooncakes?"

For so long, he didn't seem to have expressed his gratitude to Qin Yan. I remember that Qin Yan seemed to like his cooking.

Aunt Liu nodded, and looked at the thin-skinned and tender-skinned gentleman in front of her, "What's the matter, Mr. Chi?"

"I'll make some more," he licked his lips, "I'll give it to Dr. Bai later."

Aunt Liu smiled from ear to ear, her impression of this young man got better and better, "Okay, then I'll help you."

-------

After dividing the finished mooncakes into three portions, Chi Qiu took out his mobile phone, thinking about Aunt Liu's leave, and sent Wen Yao a message.

Wen Yao didn't seem to be busy there, so he quickly replied to the message, saying that he would make arrangements.

Looking at the chat box, Chi Qiu kept rubbing the frame of the phone, thinking and thinking, and finally put down the phone without asking anything.

While in a trance, the doorbell rang, and when Bai Jie came over, he still couldn't hide the confusion in his eyes.

Bai Jie had a panoramic view of his expression, and then looked around the three gift bags on the table, and gestured with a smile: "Are you preparing gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Chi Qiu nodded, came back to his senses and hummed, then handed one of the paper bags containing mooncakes to her, "This is the one for you."

Bai Jie was obviously pleasantly surprised, with joy in her eyes, "I have it too? Thank you."

"There are two more..." In the middle of speaking, Chi Qiu suddenly felt a little speechless.

Bai Jie quickly guessed what he meant, "Give it to Ah Yan."

Chi Qiu paused, and after a while, as if he had made up his mind, he looked up at her, "Well, can Dr. Bai help bring this to him?"

"Although I usually like to help others, but this," Bai Jie shook the paper bag, showing a meaningful smile, "I think it's more appropriate for you to give it to him yourself."

Chi Qiu was speechless, he didn't know if he didn't hear clearly or he didn't want to answer.

"Actually, I don't quite understand you," Bai Jie smiled back, looking at him with a slight expression, "A while ago, when Ah Yan was chasing you, you ignored him, and now, you asked me to pass on the Mid-Autumn Festival gift. "

Chi Qiu looked at her in a little surprise, hesitated to speak, and finally turned his head away, pretending not to hear, picked up the water glass and took a sip.

"Human beings are a collection of contradictions. Ah Yan used to be quite inhuman, and he did cause you a lot of grievances, but now he is a bit human. I won't judge the two of you, but ah .”

Bai Jie stopped suddenly, Chi Qiu raised her eyes to look at her, and the other party ordered the two paper bags on the table with great interest, "I'm not a living Bodhisattva, if you want to send it, you send it yourself.

Chi Qiu didn't say anything anymore.He was still struggling until Bai Jie checked him and left.

In the end, Chi Qiu took out his phone and sent Wen Yao a message.

: Are you still on a business trip?

It has been more than a week since Wen Yao came to pick up his clothes last time, and he or Qin Yan has never been seen since then, Chi Qiu subconsciously thinks that they haven't come back yet.

It took a while to reply, and the time mark had already appeared in the chat box.

: Already back, Mr. Chi, what can you do?

Chi Qiu had the answer in his heart, he didn't hesitate this time, and asked directly: Is Qin Yan in the company?

:exist.Mr. Chi, are you looking for Mr. Qin?He's in a meeting with about an hour to go.

: Okay, I'll come to the company.

After pressing the send button, Chi Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

------

When they arrived at Qin's office building, Wen Yao was getting out of the elevator, apparently to pick him up, so the two went up together.

Chi Qiu glanced over and found that Wen Yao's face was pale and his eye circles were dark, as if he had stayed up all night day and night. He asked in a slightly concerned tone: "Is the company busy recently? How does Assistant Wen look? So tired?"

Wen Yao smiled wryly and shook his head, "Compared to Mr. Qin, I am nothing."

Chi Qiu frowned, "Is something wrong?"

"A major shareholder died unexpectedly a few days ago, and Qin's stock price also fluctuated accordingly. President Qin has held meetings with several high-level executives for a few days, and his eyes are still on."

"This kind of thing, Qin's public relations should be handy in handling it?"

Wen Yao shook his head, and his tone was even more helpless: "It would be a shame if it was that simple, but the shareholder is not clean. He was reported to the top a while ago. The evidence is convincing. It is rumored that he is afraid of crime zs."

In the middle of speaking, Wen Yao quickly stopped, and changed the subject: "I can't say more about the specific details, but Mr. Qin is really not comfortable these days. Mr. Chi, you can come, Mr. Qin must be happy."

Chi Qiu didn't say anything, but just nodded.

Sure enough, as soon as he got out of the elevator, Chi Qiu felt the oppressive atmosphere. Wen Yao led him around the busy workstations, walked to the innermost office and opened the door.

"President Qin's meeting should be over in 10 minutes. Mr. Chi, please sit down for a while." Wen Yao served him a cup of coffee, then closed the door and went out.

Chi Qiu sat on the sofa in the rest area, looked around, and unconsciously let go of his guard.There is the smell of Qin Yan here, which makes him feel at ease.

Not long after sitting there, someone pushed open the door, followed by two conversations, Chi Qiu got up subconsciously and looked at the door, but was taken aback.

Following Qin Yan came in, and a young man, dressed in a decent high-end suit, with a pair of red phoenix eyes, had an excellent temperament, and looked at Qin Yan with admiration in his eyes.

The two people are not far away, apparently breaking the social distance.

For some reason, Chi Qiu's heart felt sour for no reason.

Qin Yan is not as exhausted as Wen Yao said, although his eyes are indeed a little blue, but there is no tiredness on his face.Seeing Chi Qiu for the first time, he was stunned for a moment, then withdrew his smile, "Why are you here?"

Chi Qiu didn't organize his words well, and Qin Yan didn't wait for his answer, and turned to the man beside him: "Then let's talk another day, I have another meeting later."

The man's eyes flicked between the two of them for a moment, and he said with a smile: "It's fine, then you can find me anytime. Oh, by the way, the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner will be held in two days, don't forget, there will be many big names in the political world."

"of course."

The man turned his head to look at Chi Qiu, "Does this one want to pay you a favor?"

Chi Qiu glanced at Qin Yan, smiled, and was about to refuse, but Qin Yan spoke first: "He won't go."

The man smiled without saying a word, and left after finishing the conversation.

The office suddenly fell silent, and both of them fell silent.

Qin Yan tugged at his tie, took off his coat and casually put it on the chair, like a spinning top that finally stopped, making no sound at all.

After a long time no see, his jawline became much clearer, and he looked sharper.

After a while, Qin Yan said, "Why are you here?" The tone was completely different from the conversation with the man just now, and there was a kind of exhaustion.

Chi Qiu moved his eyes to the two paper bags on the table, hiding his expression, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, I made some mooncakes, and I'll bring them to you if I have any."

Qin Yan's eyes were on his face, as if to verify the authenticity of his words, but he was too tired, so he turned his face away before he could study it carefully.

Someone knocked on the door, and the assistant brought in a document, "Boss Qin, the meeting will start in five minutes."

Qin Yan nodded, signed the document and handed it back, then turned to look at Chi Qiu with an unclear expression, "I'll ask Wen Yao to take you back."

"No need," Chi Qiu looked up at him, trying to hide his unreasonable emotions, "I'll go back by myself."

Walking to the door, Chi Qiu remembered something again, turned around and said, "My ears are getting better soon, I will move out in two days."

Qin Yan's eyes darkened, and the cap of the pen he was holding suddenly flew to the ground. He didn't look at Chi Qiu, and the words spun around his lips, and finally there were only three words, "Got it."
