Back in Jiangcheng, Pei Donglai went to work without a first pick. When he turned on his mobile phone, he saw that many missed calls were from Lin Xiaojie.
Pei Dong called back and forth, "Chairman, is something wrong?"
"Where are you? Why don't you answer the phone?"
"I was in Jiangcheng and didn't pay attention." After hanging up the phone, Pei Donglai lay on the sofa, feeling weak and dizzy, as if he had a cold.
At night, Pei Donglai heard someone knocking on the door in a daze. He dragged his tired body slowly to the door, opened the door, and saw Lin Xiaojie standing outside the door, carrying large and small bags.
"Dong Lai, what's wrong with you? Why are you so hot? You have a high fever." Lin Xiaojie touched Pei Dong Lai's forehead and said nervously.
"I'm fine, just take a nap."
"No, let's go to the hospital." Lin Xiaojie dragged Pei Donglai out.
Pei Donglai weakly followed Lin Xiaojie to the parking lot. Because he had not eaten all day and had a high fever, Pei Donglai was shaky and almost fainted.
Lin Xiaojie struggled to get Pei Donglai into the car and drove quickly to the hospital.
When Pei Donglai woke up, it was already late at night. He saw Lin Xiaojie sleeping on the bedside with one hand holding his own. Pei Donglai accidentally discovered that there was a scar on Lin Xiaojie's wrist. He remembered It should have been the other hand that was cut last time, not this one.
There is a big temperature difference between morning and evening in Jiangcheng. It is still a bit cold at night. Seeing Lin Xiaojie wearing thin clothes, Pei Donglai got up and prepared to cover her with a quilt.
Although there is still some resistance in my heart, after all, they sent me to the hospital, and I should reciprocate the courtesy.
"Donglai, you're awake." Lin Xiaojie also woke up.
"Why didn't you go back to sleep? It's so cold here," Pei Donglai said weakly.
"It's okay, I'm not cold," Lin Xiaojie said, clasping her hands.
"Come up and sleep." Pei Donglai saw that Lin Xiaojie had goosebumps.
There was only one bed in the ward, and it was late at night, so that was all.
Lin Xiaojie stood still. She wanted to go to bed, but she didn't want the other person to think that she wanted to go to bed. It was very embarrassing.
Pei Donglai said nothing and gave up half of the beds.
After a while, Lin Xiaojie got in, and Pei Donglai felt that her body was cold.
Although the two of them were lying together once before, they were in a drunken state and were in a daze without feeling anything.
But this time it was different. Pei Donglai clearly felt that Lin Xiaojie was breathing rapidly and her heartbeat was racing.
Perhaps it was because of illness, or perhaps because he no longer had feelings for Lin Xiaojie, Pei Donglai felt nothing but a little crowded.
The next day, Pei Donglai woke up and did not see Lin Xiaojie.
After a while, Lin Xiaojie came in with breakfast, followed by her secretary, Jiang Xue.
"Come east, get up and have something to eat."
"President Pei, are you feeling better? Eat something," Jiang Xue also echoed.
Pei Donglai was not very familiar with Jiang Xue. He only knew that she was the first college student recruited from the campus. She was tall, plump, and somewhat pretty. She used to work in the reception department, and to put it bluntly, she was a wine company.
Pei Donglai's impression of her was that she was very relaxed when she went to the reception last time. When she sent her back drunk that time, she started to take off her clothes as soon as she entered the room. I don't know if she did it on purpose or if she was used to it. Just take off your clothes.
She often wore low-cut clothes, but today she was tightly wrapped. Lin Xiaojie must have told her.
However, Jiang Xue did a good job in reception. She was witty and flexible, could listen to people's emotions, and had a good drinking capacity. Lin Xiaojie brought her to her side, which was of course useful, but why did Lin Xiaojie bring her to the hospital today? Pei Donglai felt a little confused.
"Xiaoxue, go back and call me if you need anything," Lin Xiaojie said.
"Well, Chairman." Then, Jiang Xue came to Pei Donglai's side, "President Pei, you have a good rest. I'm going back first. Goodbye."
After breakfast, Pei Donglai felt better and said to Lin Xiaojie: "Let's leave the hospital today. I feel much better."
Lin Xiaojie said while tidying up: "I'll ask the doctor later. If you lie down for a while, your mental state will not be good."
In the afternoon, at Pei Donglai's strong request, Lin Xiaojie could only go through the discharge procedures.
Arriving at Pei Donglai's residence, Lin Xiaojie had no intention of leaving and went to the kitchen to cook as soon as she entered.
After a while, someone knocked on the door. Bao Desheng, Wu Jing, Heizi and Lin Yunfeng all came, carrying gifts.
"I'm not dead, you're so busy and you still come to see me," Pei Donglai said.
"Can't you come and eat while you're there?" Bai Xiaoran responded, and then walked into the kitchen, "Senior sister, I'm here to help you." Xiaoyu and Wu Jing also followed in to help.
"Donglai, you are a great bank president, don't you feel aggrieved to live here?" Li Yunfeng joked.
"Yunfeng, you're wrong. Officials now have to keep a low profile. Last time I saw a corrupt official on the Internet, he hid tens of millions in cash at home. Didn't he live in a dilapidated building and ride a bicycle to work? "Heizi answered.
"I can't put tens of millions in cash here. I'm really poor," Pei Donglai said.
"It's all a joke, buy an apartment and live in it," Li Yunfeng advised.
"Let's talk about it later. I still don't know where I belong?" Pei Donglai sighed.
"Let's have dinner, celebrate senior brother and sister..." Bai Xiaoran said excitedly, but after being rolled at by Pei Donglai, he didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.
"It's only right to celebrate Lao Pei being discharged from the hospital," Li Yunfeng added.
"Yunfeng, take out the wine," Pei Dong came and said.
"You know." Pei Donglai took out a black plastic bag, and Heizi smiled and rubbed his hands.
"You have just been discharged from the hospital, please stop drinking," Lin Xiaojie said to Pei Donglai.
"This thing is disinfected, it's okay." Pei Donglai also poured it.
"Okay, Donglai, you'd better stop drinking. Xiaojie will drink with us." Li Yunfeng also stopped Pei Donglai.
In the end, everyone was talking to each other, and Pei Donglai could only hand the glass of wine to Lin Xiaojie.
Bai Xiaoran poured Pei Donglai a glass of Coke and said, "Brother, drink this."
"Donglai doesn't have a child yet? Wouldn't you be harming him by letting him drink this?" Li Yunfeng took the Coke away.
"You just listen to the nonsense said by those people on the Internet all day long. Do you have any basis for it? You."
Everyone was amused by the couple. When they were about to use their chopsticks, Bai Xiaoran picked up the phone and said, "Wait, let's commemorate such an important moment."
"Post it on Moments?" Lin Xiaojie asked.
"I just take pictures, it doesn't matter whether I post them or not."
"Post it so everyone can see it," Lin Xiaojie said.
"Okay, okay, everyone, sit down more neatly, be happier, and I'll take the photo again."
After a while, Li Yunfeng picked up the wine glass and said, "Here, happy summer, cheers."
"I really can't find anything to say. What's the point of being happy in summer? It's so hot," Bai Xiaoran muttered.
