Drop

Zuo Chi needs treatment every week, and checks the recovery of the glands every two or three months.No one else in the examination room could enter, so Qin Xu waited outside.

The doctor took out the equipment and asked, "Is your boyfriend Alpha?"

Zuo Chi still felt a little strange when he heard the name "boyfriend": "Yeah."

"You..." The doctor hesitated to speak.

Zuo Chi: "You say."

"Hey, I want to ask if your pheromone matching is high? I told you before that it is difficult to mark in your current situation, but if your pheromone matching is high enough, the possibility of successful marking It will be greatly improved." The doctor said, "Even if it is a temporary mark, it will help the stability of the gland and have a certain effect on the treatment. And for you, the estrus period can be better spent."

Zuo Chi understood, but it took him some time to react.

The doctor continued: "Of course, I'm just telling you about the situation. It's up to you to decide whether to mark it. After all, the mark is still based on feelings and responsibilities."

Zuo Chi lowered his eyes: "I understand."

After finishing the examination and waiting for the results, Zuo Chi went to another room for treatment.When he finished, he saw Qin Xu sitting on the chair outside the door and fell asleep.

Qin Xu closed his eyes, still holding the phone in his hand, shaking his head slightly.

He has an outstanding appearance, and he is of mixed race. Doctors, nurses and patients passing by will look at him.

Zuo Chi sat gently beside him, without waking him up.

But the hospital was full of people coming and going, and Qin Xu couldn't sleep well. After 2 minutes, he rubbed his eyes and felt a little embarrassed when he saw Zuo Chi: "I slept a little late yesterday. My brother called me in the middle of the night and told me about the dormitory. The door is closed, he is locked out, and he wants to stay with me for one night. He is 22 years old and still looks like a kid who just fell in love, and he insists on me listening to him talk about his favorite Omega."

When mentioning his younger brother, Qin Xu's expression was very gentle, with a smile on his lips.While they're not a biological father, they're clearly close.

Qin Xu's current personality is different from the "illegitimate child" most people recognize, probably because Qin Xu's mother and stepfather provided him with a good family atmosphere.

Zuo Chi said: "You can tell me, it's fine if I come to the hospital by myself."

"I promised you." Qin Xu said, "How is it? Does the treatment hurt?"

During the whole process of treatment, the glands will feel sore, but it is tolerable.Zuo Chi said, "It doesn't hurt."

Qin Xu stretched out his hand and rubbed his head: "It's fine if it doesn't hurt."

After the results came out, they ate lunch at the entrance of the hospital, and then Zuo Chi took Qin Xu home along the way, went to the company office to lie down and rest for a while, and then went to the appointed teahouse to talk about investment.

The investment negotiation did not go very smoothly, the estimated price of the two parties differed, but there was still room for maneuver, Zuo Chi did not intend to give up.

When he came out of the teahouse, he saw a familiar car parked at the door. His eyes glanced down at the license plate number, knowing that he had not admitted his mistake.

"Mr. Zuo." Assistant Liu went downstairs to get the materials, and nodded to him, "Mr. Xiao Sheng is drinking tea with Mr. Xiao upstairs."

Xiao has always been in the wood processing business. In his thirties, the business is very big.Zuo Chi knew that the Sheng family had discussed cooperation with Mr. Xiao two years ago, but they failed to reach an agreed goal. Now Sheng Li probably wants to fight for it again.

Today is Saturday, or Christmas... Sheng Li didn't attend any Christmas party, but drank tea in a restaurant. He was really working seriously. This was the first time Zuo Chi felt this fact intuitively.

"Well, I won't bother them." Zuo Chi couldn't tell what emotion he was in, so he turned around and got into the car.

Sheng Li was sitting in a private room on the second floor of the tea house. He arrived at two o'clock and recognized Zuo Chi's car when he arrived. Although Zuo Chi had several cars, Mirage was his favorite.

Knowing that Zuo Chi might be just across the wall, he didn't dare to approach it rashly.

Sheng Li's heart was itchy, and he was a little distracted talking with Mr. Xiao.He felt that his brain was divided into two, one half was supporting him to chat with Mr. Xiao about cooperation matters, and the other half was hooked away by Zuo Chi.

He sat by the window, glanced at Zuo Chi's back from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help turning his head to look down.Zuo Chi seemed to be a little thinner again, and it felt like one hand could wrap around his waist.I don't know if it's because I've been too tired from work recently and haven't had a good meal.

Assistant Liu talked with Zuo Chi for a few words, then Zuo Chi got into the car, and within a minute, drove the car out of Sheng Li's sight.

"What are you looking at?" Mr. Xiao followed with his probe.

"I saw a friend." Sheng Li smiled apologetically and brought the topic back to work.

Mr. Xiao actually intended to cooperate with Shengri Group. The reason why they failed to reach an agreement before was that the plan given by the person in charge at that time was unreasonable, and on the other hand, Sheng Changyu overwhelmed him with the attitude of an elder.

He rarely paid attention to gossip news in the business world, and only after he agreed to Sheng Li's invitation did he hear that Sheng Li was a playboy.In the end, Sheng Li was different from what he had imagined. This legendary alpha who didn't care about anything was on the point when talking about the conditions. He was very decisive and straightforward, and at the same time his attitude was not tough, which gave him a lot of room for negotiation.

Mr. Xiao immediately decided to cooperate, but he still said that he would go back and discuss with the shareholders.

"Okay." Sheng Li said, "The next time you sign the contract, Mr. Xiao will choose a place for you to drink tea and drink."

Sheng Li sent Mr. Xiao to the car, turned his head and asked Assistant Liu next to him impatiently: "What did you and Zuo Chi say just now?"

Assistant Liu replied truthfully: "He seemed to recognize your car, so I said you were upstairs."

Sheng Li: "How did he react?"

"Uh..." Assistant Liu saw Sheng Li's eyes light up, and felt that it would be too heartless to say that Zuo Chi didn't react at all, but she didn't like to lie either, "Mr. Zuo said he wouldn't bother you to talk about business."

"Oh." The light in Sheng Li's eyes dimmed again.

Soon it was the New Year's Eve, the last New Year's Eve, Zuo Chi spent at Sheng's house, and had a very unpleasant fight with Sheng Li.

This New Year's Eve, Qin Xu made an appointment with Zuo Chi to spend outside.The business district in the city center has a New Year’s Eve atmosphere. The branches are covered with red lanterns, and there are activities to win prizes by guessing lantern riddles. There is a market at the entrance of the mall, selling spices, handmade pendants, and playing games. decoupage.

Qin Xu was very interested in lantern riddles, so he took Zuo Chi to guess for a long time, but he didn't get any of them right.

Zuo Chi rarely teased him: "Aren't you good at Chinese?"

"It's too difficult." Qin Xu asked, "Can you do it?"

Zuo Chi read many puzzles and only guessed one of them. He went to the navigation station and told the staff the answer. The staff said he guessed it right and gave him a piece of transparent soap that sold for three or four yuan in the supermarket.

"Take the prize." Zuo Chi stuffed the soap into Qin Xu's arms.

Qin Xu smiled, took the soap in one hand and queued up to buy milk tea, and asked Zuo Chi which one he wanted to drink.

Zuo Chi seldom drinks milk tea. He stared at the menu of the mobile phone applet for a long time. It was a bit difficult to choose, so he finally ordered a cup of fruit tea.

While waiting, he stood in the shade next to him and looked at his mobile phone. Suddenly, a bony hand appeared in front of him.

It was an old man begging in shabby clothes, his hair was messy and shaggy, and he could smell a pungent smell when he got close.He leaned on a cane in his left hand, and held a ceramic bowl with a broken corner in his right hand. He handed the bowl to Zuo Chi and shook it: "Good-hearted man."

Zuo Chi touched his trouser pocket, but found no banknotes: "Is there a QR code for payment?"

The old man looked at him with cloudy eyes, as if he didn't understand what he was saying.

"What's wrong?" Qin Xu just came over after buying milk tea, seeing the situation in front of him, he didn't need Zuo Chi to say, he also understood what was going on.

He took Zuo Chi's hand and walked aside, away from the old man.

Zuo Chi looked back: "I think he is quite pitiful."

"Well." Qin Xu said, "It's quite pitiful. But these beggars in big cities are often controlled by someone behind them. Even if you give him money, the money will not reach him, which may instead encourage this kind of money-making. evil way."

Zuo Chi felt a little flustered in his heart. He knew that what Qin Xu said was reasonable, and he also knew that his momentary "goodwill" would actually have no effect, but...

But if it was Sheng Li...they had also encountered a disabled beggar in the street begging for money. Sheng Li didn't have banknotes, so he told the beggar to wait a while, and went to the supermarket next door to change the money before giving it to him.

Zuo Chi forcibly ordered himself not to think any more, it was meaningless to compare the person in front of him with other people.Everyone has their own code of conduct and style of doing things, and it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.

"What's the matter? Still thinking about that old man?" Qin Xu carefully inserted the straw into the fruit tea and handed it to Zuo Chi, "Maybe I'm being too absolute, but people like this are everywhere in the whole city, the whole country, and the whole world." There are many, and we cannot help everyone with our power."

"You're right." Zuo Chi took the fruit tea and took a sip. He found it a bit sweet, and looked at the label on the cup: Seven Fen Sugar.

The fruit tea in his mouth was hard to swallow, Zuo Chi bit the straw, thinking whether to tell Qin Xu that he didn't like sweets.

Don't talk about it, it seems that it is not conducive to their further understanding.

Say it, as if blaming Qin Xu for not asking him how much candy he wanted.

It's hard.

In the end, Zuo Chi still didn't say anything, he drank half of the glass, and threw it away when he couldn't drink it anymore.

When it was almost midnight, they followed the flow of people towards the river, and heard that there would be fireworks on the bank.

Qin Xu liked the New Year's Eve atmosphere very much. He took Zuo Chi's hand and walked in the crowd, and bought two balloons.

Qin Xu asked, "Do you know the name of the bear called Balloon?"

Zuo Chi shook his head, he didn't pay attention to cartoons at all.

Qin Xu: "Strawberry Bear. Don't you think it's cute?"

Zuo Chi only thought that this bear was a little silly, and he didn't like pink, but in order not to spoil the fun, he still said, "It's very cute."

The crowd was crowded, leaving no gaps between them, and there was a stampede in front of them, and several traffic policemen came to control the order of the scene.The ice powder in the hand of the girl standing next to her was not steady, and she poured some brown sugar water on the sleeve of Zuo Chi's coat.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" The girl apologized again and again.

"It's okay." Zuo Chi wiped it with a tissue. He wasn't angry, but his mood was inevitably affected.

Qin Xu asked: "The water didn't soak into the clothes, did it? Do you want to change a coat with me?"

Zuo Chi: "No, no need."

At zero o'clock, fireworks were set off by the river, some of them looked like shooting stars, some of them depicted complex and delicate patterns, and at the moment of blooming, they became scattered petals, beautiful and romantic.

"Happy New Year!" someone yelled, more people joined in, and for the next few minutes, "Happy New Year" echoed everywhere.

"Happy New Year." Qin Xu lowered his head slightly, and whispered in Zuo Chi's ear, and then a kiss fell on Zuo Chi's forehead.

"Happy New Year." Zuo Chi looked at the fireworks, and said to Qin Xu, and also to himself.

Too many unpleasant things happened in the past year, and he hopes everything will be better in the new year.

But what he didn't know was that Sheng Li was in the car more than ten meters away from him.
