Half an hour later, Qi Qingmu was sitting in the infusion area, with a needle in one hand and his forehead in the other, pressing his temples from time to time.

He had a fever of 39 degrees, inflammation of the tonsils, and stomach flu. Before the infusion, Qi Qingmu couldn't hold it back. He went to the bathroom to vomit before being pulled over for the infusion. It can be seen that the stomach flu is also aggressive. uncomfortable.

In the nurse's words, the flu has been quite severe recently, but there are still a few people like Qi Qingmu who are 'complete with five poisons'.

To this, Qi Qingmu, who was still a little dazed at the time, did not answer, but Meng Yangzhou sneered.

When the nurse left, Qi Qingmu heard Meng Yangzhou gnash his teeth and ask in his ear: "Do I have to thank you for giving me a chance to be a hero to save the beauty?"

Although it's a bit shameful to say it, it was Meng Yangzhou who carried him in during the journey from getting off the car to the hospital just now.

Qi Qingmu's voice was dry and hoarse, and he spoke weakly, "I didn't expect that."

"When you think about it, your brain will burn out."

Qi Qingmu was silent, and finally only said: "Thank you."

Seeing that he was a sick patient, Meng Yangzhou didn't say too much, and moved a plastic stool to sit aside.Not many people came for the infusion today, the huge infusion room was empty, only a few people were sitting in different places, the surrounding was very quiet, suitable for recuperation.

Qi Qingmu couldn't sleep, the abnormal heat in his body hadn't dissipated, he propped his head on his hands, and suddenly heard that Meng Yangzhou seemed to be on the phone with someone else, he only whispered a few words, but the tone was not very good, and he was very uncomfortable Look patient.

He opened his eyes and looked at Meng Yangzhou, just in time to see him frowning and hanging up the phone, putting the phone in his pocket.

"What's the matter? Is there something wrong?" Qi Qingmu thought for a while and said, "Go if you have something to do. It doesn't matter here. I will let you know when I finish the injection."

Hearing this, Meng Yangzhou looked over with a strange expression, opened his mouth to speak but stopped, and finally frowned and gave him a look.

"none of your business."

Qi Qingmu: "..."

Meng Yangzhou did not leave and insisted on staying here with Qi Qingmu.

When the nurse came to change the dressing for the first time, Qi Qingmu gained some strength. He took out his mobile phone to report to Leng Mengtai that he was safe, and what he received was a blurry photo of the license plate of his private car.

Leng Mengtai: I'm afraid you will be kidnapped.

Qi Qingmu: ...No, I'm a friend. Don't worry about me, so come take a look.

Leng Mengtai: It's really timely, so I'm relieved.

Seeing the word "kidnapping", Qi Qingmu couldn't help laughing, and raised his eyes into Meng Yangzhou's cold eyes.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Qi Qingmu turned off the phone and put it in his pocket, "Thank you for bringing me here, and thank you for helping to pay the medical expenses in advance. I will transfer the money to you later, or do you need cash?"

"Whatever." Meng Yangzhou didn't care about this, but frowned at Qi Qingmu's pale face, "Are you sure you're alright?"

"It did improve, but not so fast." Qi Qingmu said, "It should be better after this injection."

"I'm curious, how did you make yourself look like this?" Meng Yangzhou twitched the corner of his mouth mockingly, but the concern in his eyes was not obvious.

Qi Qingmu lowered his eyes, thought of many kinds of answers, and finally just shook his head.

"Maybe it's my problem."

Being too strong, using myself like an iron man, repeatedly compromising for money, trying to make my body withstand infinite pressure.

"You always ask me if money is really important, and I can answer you now—it is very important." Qi Qingmu looked at Meng Yangzhou with bitterness in his eyes, "It's not that I think money is not enough, but that it is really not enough. "

Meng Yangzhou said with a sullen face, "What are you hiding from us? Even that idiot Cheng Geometry has figured it out. Your salary plus the school's subsidy is enough for you to live on. Why don't you give up your job in the bar after you go to practice?"

Facing the questioning, the pale boy just hooked his lips and showed a forced smile.

"It's complicated, you shouldn't know."

"Say." Meng Yangzhou ordered coldly: "It's related to your family? Your mother? Did she never give you living expenses?"

Qi Qing was at a loss for words.

The so-called mother did not give him living expenses, because he didn't want it.

Drawing a clear line with that place is what he wants most. How can he ask 'mother' for money?In this way, he will never be able to tell the difference, he will be overwhelmed by responsibility, and he will also go crazy because of inner conflicts.

In Meng Yangzhou's view, his reaction was the default.

"Didn't she adopt you?" Meng Yangzhou asked puzzledly, "Did she abuse you, or did you not want her money?"

Qi Qingmu slowly raised his head and looked at Meng Yangzhou.

"I don't want her money." He said every word: "I am drawing a line between her and that orphanage. I am who I am, and I don't need the so-called mother and family."

that kind of family...

The once vicious face suddenly became kind, because of kindness?Because of sympathy?No, because things got serious, she had to find a way out for herself.

Time may really be able to smooth out the hostility in a person. Some people think that when things are over, they can be treated as if they never happened.

But hatred cannot be buried.

"She has a son." Qi Qingmu said to Meng Yangzhou with an extremely relaxed tone: "Birth, not adopted like me."

Meng Yangzhou was silent for a long time, and said: "I thought about investigating you." After a pause, he let out a self-deprecating snort, "But I didn't do that."

Qi Qingmu is right in saying that although he is not good at expressing himself in the dormitory, the other two roommates are not optional.For him, Lu Du and Cheng Geometry are different from those friends who have made friends because of the family.

He really cared about the friendship of the four people in the dormitory, and didn't want to use any ability related to family power to investigate them.

Hearing this, Qi Qingmu smiled slowly.

"When I hear your words, I will definitely be moved to tears." Qi Qingmu pursed his dry lips, hesitated again and again, and said: "After graduation, I will show you my family."

Meng Yangzhou raised his head suddenly, "What?"

I just said that I don't recognize that family, and now I say that I have a family...

He knew that Qi Qingmu had something to hide, but now it seems that he has a lot of things to hide.

"I'll show you my family." Qi Qingmu said lightly, "The real family."

"not now?"

"No." Qi Qingmu shook his head: "It's not convenient for her."

Meng Yangzhou didn't force it.

Qi Qingmu is looking forward to the best, because he will graduate in less than a year, and if his sister's condition can be stabilized by then, he can bring his friends to see her.

The disease can be stabilized in a year, what more can be expected.

It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon after the injection, and there were less than 10 minutes left to get off work.

Meng Yangzhou sent him back to the studio, not in a hurry, he wanted to go back to school together after get off work, Qi Qingmu did not refuse.

After going back, Qi Qingmu chatted with Leng Mengtai for a while, the latter finally let go of his concern when he saw that he looked good.

"Mr. Fu came here just now. He seemed to have something to tell you. I said you were sick and went to the hospital, but he didn't say anything. He didn't seem angry." Leng Mengtai whispered: "But you'd better Give him a call back, in case he needs you for something."

Qi Qingmu nodded.

After going upstairs, Qi Qingmu started to pack his things to get off work, and it was when he was packing the workbench that he found an envelope.

There was no signature on it, and it felt a bit thick to the touch. Qi Qingmu opened it curiously, and was shocked to find that there was a stack of hundred yuan bills inside, which was about two to three thousand yuan thick by visual inspection.

Inside the red banknote was a piece of folded paper, Qi Qingmu pulled it out and opened it, on it was a row of scrawled but still distinctive characters.

—— Bonus dividends.

This is Fu Meng's handwriting, Qi Qingmu will not admit it.

When are bonuses distributed?

Since the internship, he has not participated in a few designs, and the normal internship salary is still paid, although it is not much but it is very stable.Occasionally there will be dividends after Party A is satisfied with the studio's plan, because of the nature of his work, even if the dividends are not much.

Now the envelope contains as much as his two-month internship salary!

He called Fu Meng without any hesitation, and when he got connected, he asked, "Is it time to get off work? Who allowed you to call during work hours?"

Qi Qingmu: "...just arrived." Qi Qingmu looked at the hour hand which was past five o'clock, and said, "Sorry, I have something very important to ask you."

"what's up?"

"Is the envelope on my desk yours?"

"Ah."

"The bonus dividend here, which dividend was it?" Qi Qingmu squeezed the thickness of the envelope, as if floating in the sky, "Didn't the few orders I participated in the design have not yet been submitted..."

Fu Meng was silent for a long time, heaved a long sigh, and said, "Little pendant."

Qi Qingmu: "What?"

Fu Meng: "I returned the order for the small pendant you refused to design, and told Party A what you said when I returned it."

Qi Qingmu was at a loss, and began to recall what he had said at that time.

Apart from rejecting the design with righteous words, it seems that he didn't say anything...

"Party A is very satisfied." Fu Meng said suddenly: "He thinks what you said is very reasonable, so he didn't ask for liquidated damages or return the money, and all the dividends of that money will be given to you."

Qi Qingmu: "..."

He was a little confused.

But overall it's a good thing.

"Mr. Fu, for this money I..."

"If you are told to keep it, you will keep it." Fu Meng's voice became a little impatient, "You have delayed me for a long time, do you know that?"

Qi Qingmu: "I'm sorry, then I will..."

"No time, don't call."

After speaking, the other party hung up the phone.

Qi Qingmu stared at the phone for a while, then looked at the money in the envelope, and laughed helplessly.

In the private room of the restaurant, Fu Meng gently put the mobile phone on the table, and it made a muffled sound.

"Satisfied?" He raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman beside him who was laughing wildly.

"Satisfied, how can I not be dissatisfied with Mr. Fu's work." He Yan laughed so hard that her stomach ached, with tears in her eyes, "Honestly, you really don't know how to lie. You use your status to suppress people when you mention business, and run away." Faster than anyone..."

"If you didn't ask me to talk nonsense to him?" Fu Meng had a smile on his face, although his words were still not very nice, "You care about that kid so much, why do you have an idea?"

"I have a ghost idea." With a restrained smile, He Yan let out a long sigh, "I just can't imagine that there are such miserable people in this world..."

A person's life circle will most likely affect his personality. He Yan has a wealth of experience, and has traveled back and forth at home and abroad for so many years, so she has seen the customs and customs of various places.Since she is well-informed and knows the past of Qi Qingmu and her sister, she can't help but sigh every time she thinks about it.

"Help him in the open, he is definitely not willing." He Yan said: "He pays the high medical expenses here, and he has to live hard on the other side. I don't care what he thinks. Anyway, I feel a little distressed and try to help Help him live a little more comfortably, what's the problem?"

"... Tsk." Fu Meng stopped talking, paused for a few seconds, and asked, "His sister is doing well recently?"

"Very good." He Yan said: "Your trinket pendant has finally been removed from the assessment? What can I say, the original taste is the best, even if it is damaged, so what, then it has witnessed uncle and aunt everything of."

Fu Meng frowned, but didn't say anything.

He assigned this assessment to countless interns, and every intern dared to do it, some for money, some to prove themselves, only Qi Qingmu, who neither recognized money nor his name.

He was afraid that his immature design would ruin its original meaning.

"I'll transfer this money to you later." He Yan picked up her bag and was about to leave.

Fu Meng glanced at her, "No need."

"Yo?" He Yan laughed, "You were also moved by Xiao Qi's spirit?"

"I'm annoyed by you."

Fu Meng snorted, and even though He Yan laughed backwards, he didn't refute anymore.

After settling down in a small town to the south, after packing up his luggage in the hotel, Gu Yu stood on the balcony, looking at the snowy scenery outside, with a faint anticipation for the unknown icy land in his heart.

After booking the room, the first person Gu Yu contacted was not Qi Qingmu, but Bai Jie.

"Have you arrived?" Bai Jie asked with great concern on the phone, with a smile, just like the big brother Sunshine next door in a youth novel.

With a sarcastic smile on the corner of Gu Yu's mouth, he said calmly, "We're here, and we can go back alive."

"Hahahaha, you are very confident in yourself." Bai Jie thought he was teasing, so he also joked.

Gu Yu: "Bai Jie, I'll talk about the little things you do when I go back. But for now, I hope you can settle down a bit. There are too many people in the Bai family who don't like me, and your family is just a side branch. , You don’t need to do anything if you want to remove me, do you understand what I mean?”

The other party fell silent suddenly.

"Think about my own uncle, and you should understand." Gu Yu leaned on the sofa, prolonging the end, and said with a smile: "Qi Qingmu, you'd better watch over there, otherwise something will happen, I'll be the first to find you."

The meaning of this sentence is already very obvious.

Although he is not in Nancheng, he knows everything that happened there.

After a long silence, Bai Jie chuckled.

"I underestimated you, Gu Yu." Bai Jie said, "I always thought that you didn't care about that boy."

"I don't care." Gu Yu raised his eyebrows, "But externally, he belongs to me, Gu Yu."

"I understand." Bai Jie laughed, "It's my fault, I'll treat you to a meal and make amends when I get back. As for Qi Qingmu, don't worry, after all, besides me, there are many people protecting him. , for example..."

"Xu Jin punishment."

A dark light flashed across Gu Yu's eyes, "Tsk, yes, compared to you, I can trust Xu Jinxing more."

Bai Jie: "..."

Sowing discord failed.

"What about the Meng family?" Bai Jie asked persistently.

"Meng family?" Gu Yu thought for a while, and suddenly realized, "You said that my subordinate Meng Yangzhou is defeated? We have confronted each other a long time ago, and he lost miserably."

Bai Jie was silent again.

In fact, he really wanted to ask Gu Yu, why are you confronting so many powerful people for a person who doesn't care?

But when he thought of Gu Yu's uncertain temperament, he silently swallowed it back.

Bai Jie didn't want to have a bad relationship with Gu Yu, because he could tell that Gu Yu didn't want the Bai family.But the people in the Bai family don't know what's going on, including his parents, they all think that Gu Yu is coveting the position of the Patriarch of the Bai family, and as a person of a different surname, he is trying to control the Bai family.

Bai Jie wanted to get the Bai family, but Gu Yu didn't want to, but he just happened to attract all the firepower, so why not make friends with this kind of person.

Bai Jie, who was judging the situation, sold a favor to Gu Yu early on, and that was the matter of cooperating with Xu Jin to let Gu Yu go.

"Let's talk about something serious." Bai Jie changed the subject in a timely manner, "What do you think about great-grandmother's will?"

"What do you think?" Gu Yu fiddled with her fingers and said indifferently, "What does it have to do with me?"

Bai Jie: "...OK, you really have a big heart."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yu sneered.

Everyone thought he was a fool, but unfortunately...

Gu Yu is looking forward to the day when they find themselves being stepped on by the impression of a 'fool'.

Qi Qingmu took injections for three days in a row, the doctor said it would take a week, but Qi Qingmu only had three days of injections.

Money is one aspect, and another aspect is that he feels that there is no major problem, and there should be no recurrence.

Because of the stomach flu, he ate light food for several days in a row, so that when he went to work in the bar a week later, Jing Lan could tell at a glance that he had lost weight again.

"You're almost skinny and out of shape." Jing Lan said exaggeratedly: "This flu is very serious, you must be infected."

"It may also be related to my being too tired." Qi Qingmu said: "But if you persist like this, you will be fine in the future."

"Tsk tsk tsk, I'm here again, I challenge my work limit every time." Jing Lan snatched the wine bottle from his hand and said, "Otherwise, you should quit here and help me if you have nothing to do." Help, let Brother Jun count the money for you by the hour."

Qi Qingmu shook his head: "It's fine, don't worry about me."

Qi Qingmu is used to three o'clock and one line.

Recently, the counselor also talked to him about the internship, saying that if the studio is stable and willing to stamp him, he can go for the internship in advance, and there is no need to continue to attend classes.In this way, he can work normally from Monday to Friday, rest on Saturday and Sunday, and work in bars at night.

This is good, but he hasn't had time to ask the studio.

At the nursing home, Shujing called him several times, saying that his sister's condition was very stable, and he could visit her anytime, anywhere if possible.

Qi Qingmu thought, waiting for the problem of early internship to be resolved, he will pick a Saturday to visit sister.

The train of life is on the right track, and everything is developing in a good direction.

There are not too many guests tonight. In his spare time, Qi Qingmu turned on his phone and stayed on the chat interface with Gu Yu.

The last time the two chatted was on Thursday. Gu Yu said he was going to board the boat, and Qi Qingmu told him to be more careful, but he didn't reply.

Qi Qingmu sent him a good morning picture on Friday, but he didn't reply anymore.

It must be a lie to say that I am not worried, and this matter has been lingering in my mind, and I can always think of it when I am not working.

What is Gu Yu doing there now?

Have you arrived at the inspection base?

Is it cold over there?

These questions were filled in his mind and could not be answered, and Qi Qingmu was occasionally upset.

"Do you know? It seems that the merchants in our block are about to be replaced."

"What? Isn't Mr. Xu in charge?"

"Oh, Mr. Xu has already let go. In fact, the name is still hanging on. The focus of Xu's family has long been abroad. This small neighborhood in Nancheng is nothing."

He could always hear some gossip in the bar, and occasionally he heard someone he knew, so he would pay more attention to it.

"The Xu family really moved abroad?"

"That's not true. There are still some industries in the country, but no one cares about them anymore. Just don't lose money."

"No wonder, I haven't seen Mr. Xu recently."

Qi Qingmu listened quietly, recalling what Xu Jinxing said that day when he went to Xinlaisi to find him.

Benefit……

Everything is of interest.

Bai Zhenrong couldn't find Gu Yu, couldn't negotiate terms, so she could only find someone who was related to her and could bring her benefits, that is Xu Jinxing.

Qi Qingmu was not surprised at all, because it was impossible for the Bai family not to investigate him.

If Xu Jinxing is found, Meng Yangzhou must be found too.

As for why he didn't find Meng Yangzhou, it is most likely because he and Meng Yangzhou have maintained a good roommate relationship for three years. In addition, there are four people in the same dormitory, and the relationship is not bad, so Bai Zhenrong thinks that Meng Yangzhou The relationship with him is very ordinary, not reaching the level of dropping everything for him and rushing here.

"Xiao Qi, you have a good relationship with Mr. Xu, do you know something inside?"

The two middle-aged people who gossip usually come to Boiling Point to drink to relieve boredom, and they are very familiar with Qi Qingmu. They don't have any strange emotions when they ask this question, as if they just think that Qi Qingmu and Xu Jinxing can talk, so I asked a little more.

Hearing this, Qi Qingmu raised his head with a formulaic smile on his lips.

"No, he's busy, we haven't been in touch for a long time."

"That's right, I'm a busy person, and you are a college student." A middle-aged man sighed and said, "Oh, study hard, and you will be assigned a good job in the future."

Qi Qingmu responded with a smile.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but just now I heard someone talking about Xu Jinxing, and then Jing Lan came over and said that Brother Jun asked him to go upstairs.

Qi Qingmu was curious, Jing Lan said that Xu Jinxing was also there.

"Maybe I have something to tell you."

Jing Lan followed him for a short distance, stopped in front of the stairs, and whispered: "They've been drinking. When I went in just now, the smell of wine was strong in my nose."
