After being confessed by the paranoid wolf dog

— should not have died.

These words were like a cold arrow shot into Qi Qingmu's heart.

If you understand correctly, the meaning of this sentence is that the reason for Gu Yu's mother's departure is surprising.

Or to put it in absolute terms, it is death.

He stared blankly at Xu Jinxing, perhaps because of the smog just now, he always felt that there was a layer of psychedelic fog in front of him, making him unable to see the man in front of him, including this dangerous man. world.

"You..." opened his mouth, and the doubts in his heart rushed to come out, but when he reached his mouth, he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Seeing this, Xu Jinxing let out a heavy breath.

"This circle is very chaotic. If you can, you'd better not get involved."

The sincere dissuasion sounded like a warning to Qi Qingmu.

What is the warning?

Let him know that if he gets close to Gu Yu, will something unfortunate happen to him?

The fear buried in the depths of his eyes was gradually replaced by indifference. He quickly sorted out his emotions, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, making him look a bit cold.

"Thank you for reminding me, I see."

Regardless of whether the relationship between him and Gu Yu can reach the level of mutual acquaintance, just talking about himself, is there still not much misfortune around him?

Nothing could be more terrifying than his past life.

His attitude made Xu Jinxing feel a little subtle, but the young man was as obedient as ever, so he couldn't fault him.

He stepped back to make way, "Going to work?"

"I'm going." Qi Qingmu nodded and said, "Are you going to the box upstairs?"

"No, I'll go get something from your boss."

Xu Jinxing walked out first, Qi Qingmu followed behind him, and said, "Our boss is not here today."

"I know." Xu Jinxing lowered his voice, as if his whole body relaxed, "He knew I was coming."

"Well, you go."

Xu Jinxing has a good relationship with Brother Jun. Brother Jun runs a bar here, so he naturally wants to cling to Xu Jinxing.

As for what they said between the two of them, even if Jerry revealed it out of frustration, Qi Qingmu didn't want to know.

He is an independent entity, and no one can decide who to send him to.

Before Xu Jinxing went upstairs, he turned his head and gave Qi Qingmu a meaningful look.

Just this one glance gave Qi Qingmu a clue in his heart.

It seemed that there was no important information in the chat tonight, but in fact Xu Jinxing had already begun to look forward to his 'reaction'.

Of course, this reaction is not released in the moment, but...

Get a response from Gu Yu.

Xu Jinxing is a man with means, he will not give up what he wants easily, and so are people.Qi Qingmu didn't want to put a high hat on himself, but the other party never concealed it.

——Xu Jinxing seemed to think that he was a well-behaved rabbit with no temper, so Qi Qingmu caught his careless thoughts inadvertently.

Back at work, Jing Lan saw it from a distance, immediately put down her work and walked over.

Qi Qingmu was cleaning the cup when he saw someone beside him out of the corner of his eye, without even thinking about it, he knew it was him, so he didn't look up.

"Are you okay?" Jing Lan's first words were concerned about him.

Qi Qingmu was amused by this emotional question, his light lips curled up, and a little bit of white teeth were faintly revealed when he spoke.

"What can I do?"

Jing Lan looked at him complicatedly, and couldn't help but said: "You have a big heart. Jerry has said that, and you still dare to talk to Mr. Xu alone. I really admire you."

"Then what can we do? Brother Jun is not here, and you can't get involved." Qi Qingmu followed his words: "Besides, Jerry's words may not be true, maybe he heard it wrong."

"I don't think he heard it wrong." Jing Lan snorted, "He must have heard this too, and that's why he got so angry. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made a fuss on the spot just because I was angry with him."

While feeling that his second-in-command position was taken by Jing Lan, and then accidentally hearing Xu Jinxing asking for someone from Brother Jun, and then recalling that Jing Lan and Qi Qingmu had a good relationship, Jerry was angry and at the same time grew There was overwhelming jealousy.

When people are jealous, they will always feel that everyone around them owes them, and they will feel unwilling to be wronged for themselves.

So Jerry is hostile to everyone, including Qi Qingmu, who just met him today and has never had any problems in the past.

Regarding this, Qi Qingmu couldn't be completely indifferent, this person was destined to lie flat on his blacklist.

"So Mr. Xu didn't bother you?" Jing Lan still asked a little worriedly: "If you really have a problem, you can tell it, don't hold it back. I think it's okay to tell Brother Jun, he probably won't sit idly by No reason."

Brother Jun is notoriously protective of the calf. The employees in his own store, whether male or female, are good to him.

Qi Qingmu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Don't bother brother Jun, Mr. Xu won't do anything to me."

"Don't we really have to wait for something to happen?" Jing Lan pushed him in vain.

"Nothing will happen." Qi Qingmu turned to look at him, with a sly look in his eyes, giving him reassurance, "I'm with Gu Yu."

Well blue pupil earthquake.

"What did you say?!"

"I said..." Qi Qingmu dragged out the ending, and paused every word: "Gu Yu and I are lovers now."

"Really?!" The tone was still unbelievable.

Qi Qingmu grabbed his wrist and motioned him to keep his voice down.

Jing Lan quickly patted her chest, comforted herself, and stared at Qi Qingmu with burning eyes, "When did it happen?"

"Some time ago." Qi Qingmu continued to work with the injury, with a casual tone, as if it was not a big deal, "The process was a bit strange, but the result is that we are together."

Jing Lan was silent for a while, and let out a long breath.

"You're really grown up now."

Qi Qingmu: "...Huh?"

"I've grown up." Jing Lan was full of relief, raised her hand and patted Qi Qingmu's shoulder, and said in the tone of a child of my family who has just grown up: "Fearless, where there is a storm, you Where are you going?"

Qi Qingmu: "..."

I heard it, and said he was stupid.

Because the other party is Jing Lan, Qi Qingmu is also willing to explain a few more words, "Mr. Xu still values ​​Gu Yu very much, so when I am with Gu Yu, he will restrain himself more or less, just like today, I am not Did you come out safe and sound?"

The original intention was to let Jing Lan feel at ease, but he didn't want him to interpret other meanings from this sentence.

"That's why you are with Gu Yu for this reason?"

"...No." Just as she was about to say something, she heard someone calling Jing Lan for help.

Work is more important, Jing Lan gestured to Qi Qingmu, and then hurried over.

Looking at his back, Qi Qingmu's eyes flickered slightly, and the expression on his face was not as lively as when he was chatting just now, and he was doing his work numbly with his head down.

Tell Jing Lan that he feels a relationship with Gu Yu, not because of showing off, but because of...

Utilization.

At first, he wanted to hide the fact that he was with Gu Yu from everyone. If Meng Yangzhou hadn't accidentally bumped into him and Gu Yu when he came back from home, maybe even his roommate would not have known about it.

It was an accident that Qi Qingmu himself didn't expect that Gu Yu pulled him into her circle, just like that sudden invitation to form a team.

I always feel that the situation is developing in an uncontrollable direction, so instead of being passive, it is better to take the initiative.

Letting Jing Lan know about this is also to tell others that he has never dealt with two or more people.

Just holding such a purpose, I feel a little sorry for Jing Lan.

When Xu Jinxing left, he didn't come over to say hello. He seemed very busy. He hurried downstairs while he was on the phone with someone.

Qi Qingmu just glanced at it and then looked away.

After this time, Jing Lan often reported Xu Jinxing's movements to Qi Qingmu on the mobile phone. Whenever he went to the bar, Jing Lan would excitedly send herself a WeChat message, like a personal surveillance, and sometimes put Xu Jinxing on the phone. Jin Xing told the truth about everything he drank.

While chatting, Jing Lan told Qi Qingmu that Jerry was fired by Brother Jun.

He didn't know the specific reason, but he guessed that there might be Xu Jinxing's handwriting in it.

Jing Lan: Jerry was haggard when he left. Would you believe me that he cried?

Qi Qingmu: ... I don't believe it.

Jing Lan: Well, it’s true that he didn’t cry, but he was very unwilling and even gave me a glare.

Hearing what he said, Qi Qingmu felt that Xu Jinxing didn't get involved...

Of course, it is not ruled out that he will 'complain' to Brother Jun, implying that there is a bold waiter among you who is talking about me.

Time passed, and soon it was the day when Qi Qingmu handed in the design draft.

On Saturday, Qi Qingmu came to the studio early, and the person on duty today was Leng Mengtai, seeing Qi Qingmu, her eyes lit up.

"I heard from Zou Xian that Mr. Fu gave you a list?"

Qi Qingmu: "Yes."

"Okay." Leng Mengtai laughed, "There are not many interns who can make Mr. Fu look up to you, which shows that you are quite capable."

"It's not that exaggerated, but it's only for training me." After Qi Qingmu said modestly, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the stairs, "Has Mr. Fu come to work?"

"No, he won't be here until the afternoon." Leng Mengtai said, "He seems to have left something for you. It's in your design studio. Go and have a look."

Qi Qingmu: "Okay, I'll go upstairs now."

Back in the design room, Qi Qingmu found two file bags on the clean desk.He took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, then walked over, picked up one of the file bags, and opened it to take a look. Inside was an old file, a text file related to clothing design; he flipped through it casually twice, and then I went to get another bag. At this moment, something like a thin metal sheet fell out of the file bag and landed on the marble floor with a loud thud.

Qi Qingmu was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously reached out to pick it up——

"what are you doing?"

A voice that didn't belong to him suddenly sounded, Qi Qingmu suddenly raised his head, but found that there was no one around.

Qi Qingmu was stunned. He sat on the chair blankly, looking at the empty design room, and couldn't help but wonder if he had auditory hallucinations.

A strange silence spread, he pursed his lips, and decided to try again.

He bent down slowly, trying to pick up the metal flakes, his ears moved slightly, and he carefully discerned the surrounding situation.

This time, he successfully picked up the foreign object that fell out of the file bag.

And the surroundings are always quiet.
