lark

The person they were going to meet was Fang Qiran.

The all-powerful situation in the past is useless in the final analysis. Without the support of the Qi family, Qi Yubai is just a patient who has not yet fully awakened. Those who want to please him have already temporarily disappeared and watched the situation below.So there are not many people who are still willing to help Ben Yun, and Fang Qiran may be one of them.

Zhang Hong knew that his words had no weight, and only Lin Nan was qualified to go to her on behalf of Qi Yubai.

In a petty-bourgeois-style coffee shop, a well-dressed woman with exquisite makeup was sitting in the corner, with an expensive designer bag beside her.In fact, Lin Nan recognized her at a glance without Zhang Hong pointing.Because as soon as he appeared in her sight, he was looked at from head to toe, from left to right several times, his eyes were a little interested, and more of a comparison.

"Let's talk, I'll wait in the car."

Zhang Hong patted Lin Nan on the back, nodded to Fang Qiran, and left the coffee shop straight away.

Fang Qiran leaned back and relaxed on the back of the chair, her right leg was folded on top of her left leg, and the heels of her shoes were thin and long.

"Miss Fang." Lin Nan stopped wearing a mask when going in and out recently, and was the first to say hello after sitting down.

"Hello." She smiled casually at him.

"I heard Mr. Qi mentioning you a few times, and it was only when we met that I realized that the star is really different."

mention him?

Lin Nan didn't know if it was true or not.But Qi Yubai never mentioned Fang Qiran in front of him, so before Zhang Hong told him, Lin Nan didn't even know that such a person existed.

"It's no different, I'm just a normal guy."

"Can ordinary people keep Qi Yubai thinking about it for so long?"

Hearing her call out her full name so casually, Lin Nan felt uncomfortable, "Let's get down to business."

He had to rush to the hospital at two o'clock, and before that, he had to discuss the result with the person in front of him no matter what.

"it is good."

Fang Qiran nodded, restraining her smile just now.She naturally knew why Lin Nan came to her door.In fact, even if he doesn't come, she still plans to go to Benyun.But since the other party is here, she doesn't mind saying a few more words.

Otherwise, how can you lose convincingly?

After a while, Lin Nan picked up the mixing spoon, put it into the porcelain cup and stirred it clockwise a few times, and slowly opened his mouth.

"Miss Fang, you must have heard about Mr. Qi."

Fang Qiran lowered her legs, propped her chin with her right hand unnaturally, looked at the street outside the window, and rarely showed a less domineering demeanor.

"how is he?"

Lin Nan shook his head, lowered his eyes and said, "It's not very good, it's still in the intensive care unit, and it's not completely out of danger."

Fang Qiran's expression was obviously stiffer than before, with a somewhat disappointed expression, and said quietly: "If I had known that he was so stubborn..." After a pause, he added: "Forget it, it's too late to say anything now."

Even if time goes back and does it all over again, she may still do the same thing, because of her nature and limited tenderness.

"Are you going to see him?"

"No need." She quickly refused, "I still have something to do."

Lin Nan put down the spoon, held the cup with both hands as if keeping warm, and pursed his lips tightly.

"I heard from Zhang Hong that he approached you before the accident and wanted you to invest in Benyun. Now that something happened to him, Benyun... Benyun has become more difficult."

He raised his head and looked into Fang Qiran's eyes pleadingly, "I came today to ask you to help Ben Yun."

There were not many guests in the hall, the surrounding atmosphere was quiet, and the background music was melodious and soothing, but Lin Nan was very nervous.He was not afraid of Fang Qiran, at this point he was not afraid of anyone, but he was afraid that he would not be able to help Qi Yubai.

He carefully observed Fang Qiran's reaction, watched her slowly withdraw her gaze, and watched her every subtle expression carefully.

"Why should I help?" Fang Qiran said indifferently, "You should know that if something happens to Qi Yubai, there is a high probability that Ben Yun will go bankrupt as soon as possible, and no matter how much money I give now, I will be in vain. He hasn't even passed the dangerous period, why do you think I'm willing to give money?"

In business talk business, she made a lot of sense.Benyun is not a mature enterprise with a solid foundation. The fate of the company is actually almost bound to the fate of the founder.Once Qi Yubai is gone, it will be difficult for it to survive.

Lin Nan doesn't think he understands business rules better than her, he can only speak his mind truthfully.

"I understand what you said. I also know that my request may be difficult, and you should consider it this way. It's just that we have no other way to think about it. If Ben Yun really can't go on, Mr. Qi will get better one day I really don't know how to tell him. In addition, I have also consulted experts in this field. If Mr. Qi really...really has no way to continue to participate in the management of Benyun in the future, since he has no spouse or children, Director Qi You also have no intention of inheriting his shareholder qualifications. As a major shareholder, you can propose to Director Qi to buy his equity, and Benyun will still be able to survive at that time. I heard Mr. Qi said that you are very capable and good at running the company , Ben Yun may become better in your hands, and it may not necessarily be."

"That's what he said?" Fang Qiran looked at him.

Lin Nan gave a low hum, "He said he rarely admires others, and you are one of them."

The liquid in the cup warmed Lin Nan's palm. After he finished speaking, he lowered his eyes again, picked up the coffee and took a sip.

This time Fang Qiran was silent.

After a while, he said: "You can ask me to pay, but I have conditions."

"You say." Lin Nan had expected that she would not accept it so easily.

"If Qi Yubai gets better, I want you to leave him."

Her tone sounded like the vicious female supporting role in the script, which didn't match her previous indifference.

Lin Nan didn't even think about it, and shook his head directly: "I can consider other conditions, but this one won't work."

Fang Qiran didn't expect his attitude to be so firm, but she was taken aback at this moment, "Don't think about it before answering me?"

"No." Lin Nan said softly, "Whether we are together or apart is a matter between the two of us. I have no right to decide alone."

They wasted a lot of time because they made decisions for each other without authorization, and they will never do it again.

Fang Qiran looked at him with complicated eyes, and after a while she suddenly laughed at herself.

"You really are the same kind of people. Back then when I asked him to get engaged to me, I made it clear that he was only a fake Phoenix for a year or two, but he refused, and his mental cleanliness has reached a certain level."

Lin Nan tightened his fingers holding the cup and listened silently.

"Obviously they are all veterans in the field of love and moon, but when they meet the so-called true love, they still fall into it. Now it's all over, and it's difficult to even speak a word while lying on the hospital bed, waiting for Fang Qiran to help me."

"So, are you willing to help?" Lin Nan asked.

Fang Qiran shrugged helplessly.

"I'd rather spend some money than say I'm sorry."

-

After leaving the coffee shop, Zhang Hong drove Lin Nan to the hospital.

"I'll wait for you in the car." He didn't get out of the car.

"Aren't you going to see him?"

Since Qi Yubai entered the intensive care unit, Zhang Hong hasn't visited it yet.But he shook his head and refused, "I won't go in, if he is awake, you can say a few more words, don't worry about me being by the side."

He is always very measured, and without Lin Nan asking, he will consciously leave the precious three or ten minutes to the two of them.

"Thank you." Lin Nan looked at his only ally in front of him, his eyes were full of gratitude.

Zhang Hong smiled faintly at him, "You don't need to say thank you to me."

The hospital is a screening room for all kinds of life, which is broadcast 24 hours a day.

It's two o'clock in the afternoon, walking from the parking lot to the lobby, there is a lot of people's voices along the way.Not everyone is qualified to open the canteen in the courtyard. The boss not only sells kettles but also provides services for moving the remains. If you want a shroud, you can order it for you. You can order it for you with just a phone call, but the price is naturally high if you need it urgently. some.None of the number-taking machines in front of the hall was idle, and the men, women and children who came in and out were hurrying with their medical records or a few thin diagnostic reports.Some people called their family members to report the situation while walking, and some people had their feet in casts and still jumped forward with crutches.

However, the closer you get to the intensive care unit, the fewer pedestrians there are. There is no lively chatting, no mobile phone sounds, only the smell of disinfectant in the air is stronger.Except for a few patients who passed by in hospital gowns, there were only medical staff who walked anxiously, and all their emotions were covered under thick antibacterial masks.

In the corner of the ward, behind the light blue curtain lay quietly the person Lin Nan cared about.

He approached expectantly, and after gently pulling aside the curtain, his heart sank again.

Qi Yubai's eyes were tightly closed, as if they had never been opened, and even his eyelashes did not tremble.Due to lack of blood, his face was much paler than before, his stubble hadn't been shaved in time, and the large hospital gown on his body concealed his superior figure, making it hard to think of the handsome and handsome him in the past.

Lin Nan stepped over the chair, sat beside him silently like last time, and carefully touched his right hand holding the finger clip of the monitor.

"how do you feel today?"

He lowered his voice very softly, and even his expression was adjusted to be almost joyful.

"Does the wound still hurt? It should be better. I heard from the doctor that you have been awake for an hour longer than yesterday, and your indicators are much better. Maybe you will be transferred to the general ward in a few days. Then you should be in the normal ward." I can use my mobile phone. You don’t even know how happy I was when I heard it just now.”

He couldn't help but leaned down and touched the back of Qi Yubai's hand with his exposed forehead.Fortunately, dry and warm, the same as before.

"I have good news for you too."

The surroundings are quiet, and the sound of the instrument is very regular. It is a kind of reassuring but non-disturbing existence, like careful care for the two of them.

"I went to meet Miss Fang Qiran in the morning, and she agreed to help Ben Yun."

He moved his gaze away from Qi Yubai's face, and then slowly looked at the slightly heaving chest, feeling the gentle breathing rhythm of the person in front of him, and he couldn't be bothered to look at it.

"Actually, I'm a little jealous." Lin Nan smiled embarrassedly, and whispered, "I know I'm not good at eloquence, and she's willing to help because of you. Although this is a good thing, I still have a little Eat her jealousy."

If it was before, Lin Nan would not be able to say such a thing, because Qi Yubai would definitely be unhappy with his remarks, and might think that he was making trouble for no reason.

"Am I being too narrow-minded?" He lowered his eyelashes, "I know you shouldn't like her, but I still can't help but feel uncomfortable."

Qi Yubai's breathing mask had been covered with a layer of mist, and as he breathed, it became hazy and then slowly recovered.

"When you wake up, I will make an agreement with you for three chapters."

He looked at the person in front of him seriously, as if he was really discussing with the person on the hospital bed.

"Even if it's for work, don't you eat alone with her, okay? You will definitely meet in the company often in the future, and then I will ask Zhang Hong to watch over you. If you violate our agreement, he will immediately Inform me and I will pay him a salary as an informant's fee."

Zhang Hong probably wouldn't agree, but Lin Nan still had to show off his tongue first.

"Don't be annoyed by me. Who makes you so attractive, I must be more careful."

As he spoke, Lin Nan gently placed his palm on the back of his hand again, as if only in this way could he breathe smoothly.

"Qi Yubai."

Lin Nan called out his full name lightly, as if he had been waiting for a long time and also seemed to be a temporary idea.

"Qi Yubai..."

Lin Nan repeated it again, it seemed that just calling out this name was interesting.The lights in the ward shrouded his head, and the color of his hair was no longer completely black, but a little brown, making it look warmer.

"Your name is very good, and you will be impressed after hearing it once. Unlike me, Shuangmulin, Nan in the south, did it make you remember it for a long time?"

No one answered him, so he pulled the quilt on Qi Yubai's body again.

"Do you know that when I was with you at the beginning, you were always impatient with me and often choked me so that I didn't know what to say. I had a hard time finding topics." He smiled, " At that time, I occasionally thought, you are more likable when you are silent."

"But now you really don't talk, and I feel very used to it. It turns out that I still like you who talk to me. It doesn't matter if you talk less, and it doesn't matter if you are impatient. You can say anything."

His eyes slowly became moist again, and he wanted to pat Qi Yubai's body to force him to wake up, but of course it was just thinking about it.After a while, he slowly said: "In addition, I have a small matter to discuss with you."

Having said that, his cheeks slowly turned red, as if thinking of something very sweet.

"We quarreled in the future, and you came to me secretly, can you let me know earlier?"

Thinking of the Mars that looked like a hallucination that he saw outside the hotel in the early morning, Lin Nan's eyes became blurred again.If he had walked over and knocked on the car window, maybe the story behind him would have been different.

"If Zhang Hong didn't drive his car to pick me up today, I wouldn't even know that you went to see me on the set. You are so arrogant, you finally put down your body and took the initiative to find me, so you showed mercy and let me know, okay... …After chasing you for so long, in fact, I will also be tired. I also really need to know how much you care about me, and I really need to know that you also miss me. You can’t be sure that I like you and can’t live without you. Just don't tell me anything. What if I run out of courage if you don't tell me?"

Speaking of this, some footsteps came from a place separated by a curtain, Lin Nan hurriedly wiped away his tears, lest Father Qi came over suddenly.

Fortunately, after a while, the footsteps gradually moved away, and no one came to disturb their rare warm moment.

"Look, I'm still so timid." The corners of Lin Nan's mouth rolled down uncontrollably, tears rolled in his eyes, and he refused to fall easily.

"Obviously you've told me to make me stronger, but I still can't get rid of this problem, and I can't accomplish anything big. Even telling a small lie in front of Miss Fang makes me very nervous."

"So for someone like me, what do you think of me?"

He took a deep breath, trying to control his voice.

"But fortunately you set your requirements very low, otherwise I would have no chance."

The footsteps became clearer and clearer, until they came behind him.

"Patient's family, the visiting time is up, let me take you out."

Lin Nan hurriedly lowered his head and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and said hoarsely, "Okay, thank you nurse."

Everyone who works here should be used to such a scene, but when he stood up to leave with the other party, the nurse's gaze stayed on his red and swollen eyes above the mask.

He thought the other party recognized him and didn't care, so he turned his head and said, "Let's go."

Instead of moving, the nurse asked hesitantly, "Is your surname Lin?"

Lin Nan could only nod his head.

The other party's frown suddenly relaxed, "I finally waited for you."

"wait for me?"

"That's right." Her eyes above the mask showed a smile, "I stayed until the afternoon today just to wait for you."

"Wait for me...what's the matter?"

"It's not me, it's him." The nurse pointed to Qi Yubai who was on the hospital bed, "When he woke up in the morning, he asked me if there was a young man who had visited him. If I sat next to him, he might cry But there are too many people here every day, so I have to say that I can’t remember clearly, it seems that there is, and it seems that there is no.” She was a little apologetic, “But then I asked my colleagues, it seems that there is such a person, which makes I'm quite embarrassed."

"Then did he say anything?" Lin Nan asked anxiously.

"That's not true. It's not easy for him to say a few words. But he asked me for paper and pen at the time, as if there was a note for you."

Lin Nan's eyes widened suddenly: "Where is it?"

"Let me think about..."

The nurses in this ward are like fighting a war every day, and their thoughts are inevitably confused.He was very anxious, but he could only stand by and wait.

The nurse looked around, swept all the cabinets and beds, and finally whispered after half a minute: "I remember! Press it under his palm!"

"Under the palm?"

"That's right!" the nurse affirmed, "That's right, he only wanted a corner of that paper, and after finishing writing with his right hand, he put it under it, saying it was for you."

Lin Nan hurriedly returned to the side of the bed, bent down and slowly raised Qi Yubai's right hand. There was indeed a small piece of striped paper underneath, which was torn from somewhere.He picked it up carefully, thinking that Qi Yubai had something to tell him to do, but he didn't expect that there were only four simple words on the paper.

"I dreamed of you"

The handwriting is loose and shallow, like a distorted and hazy kiss.

With one stroke and one stroke, the intention follows the form, drawing out Lin Nan's deepest emotions in his heart.

In the past few days since the accident, he has been suffering all the time, thinking of ways to keep himself from collapsing every day.He told himself to be strong, there are still many things waiting in line for him to do.To wait for Qi Yubai to recover, to guard his company, to deal with the Qi family members carefully, and to work non-stop.

Only the mobile phone knows that he will always turn on the voice that Qi Yubai sent to him over and over again at night, listen to the familiar voice sentence by sentence, and read every word in the chat record until he can't hold back and falls asleep.

After waiting for more than 100 hours, he finally received Qi Yubai's message again, and it was written by himself.

"You...Are you okay?" The nurse looked at him, obviously frightened by his tearful face.

Lin Nan shook his head desperately, and asked eagerly, "Can you lend me a pen?"

"Okay." The nurse immediately took out the fountain pen she had with her and handed it to him.

Lin Nan thanked him, squatted beside Qi Yubai's bed, put the note in his hand on the hard plywood, and added three words under the original four words——

"Me too"
