Chapter 14 Heartstrings 14

Just in case, Wei Sizhe suggested that Chu Jiahe go to Dr. Fang to have a look at the hand injury.

Can move smoothly, but temporarily unable to carry heavy objects, no swelling or congestion, the pain is relieving, Chu Jiahe comforted: "No, it will be cured in two days."

Staring at Chu Jiahe after treating the injury on his left wrist, Wei Sizhe didn't stay long, took the winter beauty he harvested today and went downstairs, and returned to the room on the first floor, Wei Qiao had already woken up.

He was leaning on the bed and flipping through Ban Yue's "Spring Tea Notes", slowly stroking the words written by his lover with his fingertips, the arc of his eyebrows and eyes was always soft.

Wei Sizhe moved his chair and sat down, pressing Wei Qiao's quilt: "Missing my mother again?"

"Every moment." Taking off his presbyopic glasses, closing his notebook, and taking Chu Jiahe's freshly brewed white tea, Wei Qiao said, "I've been lately, this head is full of her."

Seeing that the father and son were going to have a long talk, Chu Jiahe was about to leave the room, but Wei Qiao raised his hand to stop him, and turned his face to order Wei Sizhe: "Son, bring another chair, you and Xiao Chu sit on my side."

Wei Sizhe followed suit and asked, "Mr. Wei, is this going to teach us?"

"The sun is good." The blue sky and white clouds outside the window, the bright light spreads over a large area of ​​the room, covering the bed, Wei Qiao's body is warm, "Come with me to bask in the sun for a while."

After only a few minutes in the sun on his back, Chu Jiahe felt drowsy from the heat. He tried his best to strengthen his consciousness, rubbed his eyes to relieve the sore eye sockets, and watched spy TV dramas together while guarding Wei Qiao.

The eyelids became heavier, and Chu Jiahe gradually couldn't hold it any longer. From time to time, he straightened his back and stretched his shoulders, warning himself not to doze off.

"Xiao Chu, lie down here."

Raising his head in surprise, Chu Jiahe first met Wei Sizhe's scrutinizing gaze, who leaned on the edge of the bed with his elbows, and was leisurely knocking sunflower seeds.Then he glanced at Wei Qiao, Chu Jiahe stared down at the hand covered with age spots patting the sheet, and heard the elder's voice again: "Come here, sleep when you're sleepy."

After struggling for a moment, Chu Jiahe couldn't bear the blazing sun and Wei Sizhe's straightforward eyes. He folded his arms on the bed, smiled at Wei Qiao, tilted his head and continued watching TV.I don't remember when my thoughts were disconnected, Chu Jiahe felt a strong peace of mind for a long time, he only had this feeling next to his grandma who raised him since he was a child, so he slept very peacefully.

When he was fully awake, Chu Jiahe almost broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly took out his pocket watch to check the time. Fortunately, it was not time for dinner, so he did not delay work.The seat on the opposite side was empty, and Wei Sizhe was nowhere to be seen. Chu Jiahe was about to ask, but Wei Qiao said knowingly, "It's not long since I left."

The opened lips were then closed. Within two seconds, Chu Jiahe suddenly had another problem. Wei Qiao hugged the teacup and blew the tea leaves on the water: "Si Zhe said, come back on Sunday."

"When did you leave", "When will you come back to the nursing home", how can Mr. Wei know all the things you want to ask?Chu Jiahe sat up straight with his ears burning, patted his face, took out the lunch box and scalded it with boiling water, it was time for him to help Wei Qiao cook.

At 08:30 in the evening, the employees gathered in the cafeteria to eat. Chu Jiahe received a call from Wei Sizhe. After answering, he got up and walked away from his colleagues, walking towards the glass wall: "Mr. Wei."

Wei Sizhe said with a smile: "Are you awake?"

The courtyard outside is quiet and the moonlight is just right.Chu Jiahe sighed and said, "You should have woken me up. This is conniving me to make mistakes and sleep through the working hours. If the dean finds out, my salary will be deducted."

Wei Sizhe said nonchalantly, "How much is deducted? I'll make it up."

Chu Jiahe raised the corners of his lips uncontrollably.

"I would like to treat you to dinner on Sunday." Wei Sizhe got to the point, which was also the purpose of his call, "Are you free?"

"I work all day on weekends, so I can't go out." Chu Jiahe said, "If Mr. Wei doesn't mind, there is a restaurant on the second floor of the cafeteria. We can have lunch there when your father takes a nap."

Of course Wei Sizhe didn't mind, it was just out of politeness: "It's the first time to treat guests, why don't you choose a better restaurant?"

Chu Jiahe considered foresight: "Anyway, there is another meal."

Wei Sizhe asked: "You mean, do you want to spend a long time with me in Japan?"

Chu Jiahe said: "It's great that Mr. Wei can understand like this."

Behind him was the lively chatter of colleagues, and in front of him was a warm night scene. Big Orange stood in the grass and licked his paws, yawned and wandered to the front of the main building, nestling at Chu Jiahe's feet through the glass wall.

"Hey." Wei Sizhe sighed softly, "We have to wait another four days."

Chu Jiahe said: "Then you should come one day earlier, on Saturday."

Wei Sizhe's tone was gloomy: "It's been a long time since I went fishing with my friends. They made a reservation for this Saturday, and they have refused too many times before. I don't have the nerve to shirk this time."

Chu Jiahe joked, "It seems that Mr. Wei is not as anxious as I am."

Although it was for fun, Wei Sizhe always remembered Chu Jiahe's words, because the meaning it expressed was very vague, and the more he thought about it, the happier he was.

At noon on Saturday, after having dinner at the clubhouse that Qi Qian had reserved, the group of people sat in He Yuan's SUV and headed to the resort in the southern suburbs of Beichen City.Wei Sizhe has never talked much outside, and after listening to the high-spirited talks of colleagues in the industry, from the criticism of the current situation of the financial market to the research and development and investment of new energy projects, he turned his phone boredly, thinking about how to chat with Chu Jiahe order something.

"Si Zhe? Asleep?" Qi Qian grabbed the back of the passenger seat and turned around, "Tsk, Wei, don't be dazed!"

Wei Sizhe turned his gaze out of the window to him: "What's wrong?"

"Why do I think your state is a little bit wrong?" Qi Qian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where is Si/Chun?"

Wei Sizhe didn't bother to take Qi Qian's criticisms, because he had known him for so long, this man had no serious words in his mouth.Another fellow traveler said: "Then there must be someone to think about."

He Yuan looked at Wei Sizhe through the rearview mirror, knowing it well but smiled without saying a word.

Qi Qian said: "Accompany me to meet a real estate agent next Saturday. I want to make some new investment. You can check for me. The contract is full of traps. What if they try to blackmail me? Things are inevitable."

Wei Sizhe said concisely: "No, I don't have time."

"On big weekends, you can't stay at home alone all the time, you have to come out to get some air." Qi Qian put his hands together and begged, "Good Si Zhe, when we started the company, we used to run business together, you just Promise brother."

He Yuan interjected horizontally: "Qianqian, someone who is running for four, it's shameful to be cute."

"Old He, are you annoying? Do you know how long I've been poaching your corner!" Qi Qian said angrily, "You have to treat Si Zhe to me for a day, and you are not allowed to have any opinions."

He Yuan said confidently: "As his leader, I reluctantly agreed."

Qi Qian waved his fist, his teeth itching with hatred: "You said why are you so angry, I..."

"parking."

He Yuan gave a jolt and stepped on the brakes to the end, the SUV suddenly stopped by the side of the road, Qi Qian slammed his forehead heavily on the back of the seat, tears came out from the pain: "What's going on?!"

"Sorry everyone, please wait for me for a while, I'll treat you tonight." Opening the car door, Wei Sizhe stepped on the ground firmly, "I'm going to do some shopping, and I'll be back soon."

Rubbing his forehead and widening his eyes, Qi Qian watched Wei Sizhe walk towards the retro watch shop on the street, with a look of surprise on his face: "Did Si Zhe change his taste? Didn't he want to save money to buy 'Wan Guo'?"

The interior decoration of the watch shop is simple, the environment is tidy, and there are many finely crafted watches for men and women, but there are not many pocket watches.Wei Sizhe explained his purpose to the store manager, and the clerk placed all the pocket watches for sale in the flannel display tray for him to choose.

Wei Sizhe didn't have difficulty in choosing, and basically followed the first eye. The pocket watch in the middle is expensive in metal color, with exquisite patterns, narrow dial, light weight, and does not weigh your hands. He thinks that Chu Jiahe should like it.

Wei Sizhe: "Just this one."

Taking it with both hands, the clerk respectfully said: "We have four types of gift boxes, who do you want to give it to? Elders? Juniors? Colleagues or girlfriends?"

Wei Sizhe said without hesitation: "Give it to the person you like."
