Chapter 48: Zhou Sichen is actually sick
"Cheer me up, cousin!"
Zhou Linwan knocked on the edge of the bowl, and while picking up rice, he gave psychological counseling to the decadent person holding a teacup on the sofa.
"Although you also know that those words were used to anger me, but she also said it, it doesn't matter if it's black or red, as long as it's red, it means that there is hope. β
Since he stepped into this door this morning, Zhou Sichen has remained silent until now, his tall body sits on the sofa, and his feet have never left the place.
Zhou Linwan didn't expect such a progress last night, he could only say that the earth was turning too fast, and he had a good opportunity to promote further emotion, but he was actually intervened by his ex.
"It's too white lotus. Zhou Linwan commented: "Su Xiang's predecessor is much higher than you, people are willing to show weakness if they don't behave, and they stand in front of her with tears and say that they have been opened, Su Xiang's irritable temperament can not come to you." β
Zhou Sichen still didn't say anything, staring at the tea leaves floating up and down in the teacup.
Seeing that he hadn't recovered from the trauma, Zhou Linwan threw away his chopsticks to support his forehead, and sighed: "Cousin, do you know where you lost?"
"Face refers to a few dollars, you are pretending to be strong all day long, you must be full of everything, and you will cry when the concubine room cries and chirps your position. Don't look at me with that expression, you can tell me that you have a fart for being wronged here, and use this to show Su Xiang. Believe me, women can't resist men's weakness, this is what I say from the bottom of my heart. β
Zhou Sichen, who couldn't move, seemed to have been triggered into an unknown realm, and he slowly raised his head.
"Don't ask me if it's useful, only if you're willing to try. Zhou Linwan looked at him and said.

It rained near the afternoon, Su Xiang originally wanted to order a meal for dinner, but remembered that there were several catties of fruit sent by Su Guochao in the refrigerator, and the quick-frozen dumplings that Song Zhiyin brought to her from the supermarket before had not finished eating.
After thinking about it, I decided to put down the dumplings, it happened to be a rainy day, and it was quite comfortable to sit on the sofa and watch variety shows and eat dumplings.
The traces of the last time in the kitchen are gone, and the pots and pans have all been returned to their original places after Zhou Sichen finished. Pouring water and lighting the fire, Su wanted to lean there and watch the bubbles tumble in the water.
When the water boiled, she cut the opening, lowered the dumplings, and covered the pot. The waiting time is not short, Su wants to go to the living room to clean up the garbage to pass the time, and when the coffee table is wiped and the floor is cleaned, she carries the garbage bag out of the house.
I don't want her to open the door just now, and the door to the other side opened immediately after, Zhou Sichen was dressed in pajamas, his hair was unkempt, and his cheeks were not normally red.
Seeing that it was her, he clenched his fists and coughed sideways a few times, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Throw out the garbage?"
Su Xiang didn't bother to answer, put the garbage to the door, clapped his hands and prepared to enter the door, and Zhou Sichen called her in a dumb voice behind him.
"Can I borrow your kettle to boil some water, I haven't taken the medicine yet." β
Su Xiang turned around with a look of suspicion: "Sick?"
Zhou Sichen's whole face was hot, and the tips of his ears were also bright blood red, and he just wanted to speak, so he hurriedly covered his mouth and turned sideways, coughing and trembling.
It's really not pretending.
Su wanted to say, "You wait a while, I'll give it to you." β
Zhou Sichen nodded, and when Su Xiang came back with the kettle, he cleared his throat and thanked him, but he was still too dumb to listen.
"What about Li Yanchuan, why didn't you let him send you to the hospital when you coughed like this, and besides, weren't you okay yesterday?"
Zhou Sichen's eyes were full of red bloodshots, and the deep pupils that were usually full of oppression when he stared at people were only the haggard in his illness, Su Xiang looked at each other without pressure, and the former lowered his eyes and tried to speak clearly with a useless voice.
"It rained when I went to the company in the morning, and Li Yanchuan went to pick up a private doctor, and the road was blocked when the rain was too heavy. β
Zhou Sichen belongs to the type of thin and fleshy in clothes, and his good-looking body at the moment is wrapped in wide pajamas and pajamas, which is not ugly, but more pleasing than the usual domineering appearance of a formal suit.
Su Xiang didn't want to deal with him as soon as he thought of Li Luocheng's matter, but Zhou Sichen in front of him looked at himself without saying a word with his red glasses, his hair without hairspray was fluffy, he looked very fragile, he was very pitiful, and he had many rights to look good.
Su Xiang asked stiffly, "Have you eaten dinner?"
Zhou Sichen shook his head: "Not yet." β
Su wanted to turn around and go back to the house, and when she reached the door, she stopped: "Bring the pot, bring the medicine, and come over to eat." β
The fragrance of dumplings filled the whole kitchen, Su wanted to go out and throw away the garbage and talked for a while, at this moment several pots were boiled, Su wanted to open two bowls, move all the dumplings with broken stomachs to one of them, and bring them back to the living room.
Zhou Sichen sat at the table in a proper manner, even though his head was very heavy, his two eyes did not fall on the figure in the kitchen for a moment.
In his lifetime, this is the first time that Mr. Xiao Zhou, who is accustomed to breaking his teeth and swallowing blood, has shown weakness to others, and he has not let go of it, but after Su Xiang allowed him to enter the room, he deeply understood.
The shelf is indeed dispensable, people need to adjust their strategies in time according to the environment, just like in some cases, they can easily get through with their heads down, and those who have to tell who wins and who loses with their necks are like stupid.
After lowering his head once, Zhou Sichen no longer had a psychological burden.
"What is this?" he asked, stirring the mushy stuff from the bowl with a spoon.
"Dumplings. β
"Why is it like this. β
"It's meant to be like this, don't eat it after so much. β
Zhou Sichen held the bowl, looked at her without blinking, and accused: "But yours is not like this." β
Su wanted to bite the dumplings in mid-air, put down the spoon, she stared at Zhou Sichen with an inquiring face, and was seen as empty, Zhou Sichen covered his mouth and coughed: "What's wrong?"
"You're a little weird today. β
Zhou Sichen stopped talking, picked up the spoon and began to deal with the pile of broken skin in the bowl, and Zhou Linwan's words still rang in his ears.
"First of all, you can't pick and choose, your girlfriend is the little princess, you can only eat fish tail when she eats fish maw, you resolutely don't eat crab roe when you eat crab legs, respect her, take her as precious, you are a dust particle, understand Liao?"
The dumplings with broken skin are also dumplings, Zhou Sichen brainwashed himself into his mouth, and when he chewed it, he balanced, although it was ugly, it still tasted good.
Su Xiang ate while swiping his phone, all his attention was on his phone, and Zhou Sichen felt more and more like the invisible air in this room.
Zhou Linwan's words sounded again.
"Definitely, you must always get her attention, as long as your girlfriend sees you, you can be considered to live in her heart for a long time, otherwise why is habit a terrible thing. β
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!" A series of violent coughs, Su Xiang was forced to raise his head.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Sichen's whole face was flushed, and he was still soothing to breathe, so Su wanted to get up and pour him a glass of water.
"Thank you. β
Touching the cup, Zhou Sichen said again: "It's too hot, can you pour me a warm cup..."
What the are you...
Sue wanted to curse.
Before her lips could move, a pair of big red deep eyes crashed into her sight, coupled with her angular features, she swallowed the words and got up to change his glass again.
Can live until now and not be killed, thank your mother for giving you this face, Su Xiang sneered in his heart.
Zhou Sichen finished eating the dumplings and medicine with warm water, and then moved to the sofa with a cup.
Su Xiang was about to get up and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and the good man sitting on the sofa stood up suddenly.
"Put it down!"
Zhou Sichen snatched the chopsticks from the stunned Su Xiang, and said in a duck voice that was difficult to distinguish the original sound: "Leave it to me, I'll wash it, and you go to rest." β
She was pushed back to the couch and sat down, and then watched the sick man who was about to cough after a few steps into the kitchen, and then the sound of water came slowly.
Su Xiang was trapped in a magical drama in history and couldn't extricate himself, and was thinking about whether Baidu would see if a cold would attack his brain, when Li Yanchuan's call arrived.
There was a noisy sound of rain on Li Yanchuan's side, and his voice sounded very urgent: "Miss Su Xiang, can you please go to the other door to see if Mr. Xiao Zhou is not at home, I have called him several times and have not answered, he is not feeling well now, I..."
"Zhou Sichen is fine, he is here with me, and he didn't bring his mobile phone. β
Li Yanchuan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, Mr. Xiao Zhou has been coughing in the rain today, and I can't get over it for a while while on the elevated road, can I trouble you to stare at Mr. Xiao Zhou after taking the medicine." β
From her position, she could see the tall figure in the kitchen, Zhou Sichen was standing by the sink bent over, not very skillfully wiping the dishes.
She thought it was funny: "He's not a child. β
Li Yanchuan sighed: "Mr. Xiao Zhou's life is no different from that of a child, hey, in short, it's troublesome Miss Su Xiang." β
"Okay, it's fine. β
After hanging up the phone, the person who washed the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen wiped his hands and came out, Su wanted to give up a place to the side and patted the sofa, "Come and sit." β
Zhou Sichen wiped his hands and sat down, Su Xiang handed him an orange, "Li Yanchuan asked me to ask you if you have taken all the medicine, he can't come for the time being, you are really uncomfortable, I will give you a taxi to the hospital?"
Zhou Sichen lowered his head and peeled oranges, and his voice was short: "You won't take me to the hospital?"
Su Xiang looked through the window at the pouring rain outside, very ruthless: "What do you think." β
Zhou Sichen couldn't help but laugh, but he forgot that his voice was not so good at the moment, and he laughed like a duck barking.
Su Xiang was amused with a "poof", and looked at him: "Say less, Mr. Zhou, protect your throat, and you have to go to the company tomorrow." β
Zhou Sichen cleaned the white silk on the orange flesh one by one, divided it in half and handed it to her: "I have been working from home recently. β
"Riverside villa?"
Zhou Sichen shook his head: "Here." β
Su wanted to break the orange for a moment, and glanced at him in surprise.
Zhou Sichen calmly added: "This side is close to the company, so it is easier to deal with things." β
So that's the case, Sue wanted to nod.
"Then you still bring Sister-in-law Liu here, you probably can't take care of yourself like this. β
Zhou Sichen's heart moved, and he looked at her deeply: "I felt a long time ago that you seem to know me very well, whether it is your preferences or where you live, this familiarity is very strong. β
"Thinking too much. Su Xiang said calmly: "My golden retriever pounces on someone when it encounters someone, and it has a strong sense of familiarity with everyone." β
Zhou Sichen lowered his eyes and didn't say anything more.
After eating the oranges, Su Xiang clapped his hands: "Okay, you go back quickly, just go to bed early and sweat." β
This is obviously a move to drive people, Zhou Sichen procrastinated and stood up, Su wanted to send people to the door and waved her hand, and before Zhou Sichen entered the house, she suddenly remembered what she hadn't had a chance to say last time because of the quarrel.
"Zhou Sichenβ"
"Huh?" the man at the door turned around.
"What time do you go to bed at night?"
He was stunned: "If you have a job, it's about twelve o'clock." β
"Okay, it's okay tonight, let's do something interesting. β
The woman blinked, and the thief threw out a mysterious smile, and then swaggered towards him, Zhou Sichen felt that half of his body was stiff.
*
On the coffee table, two cups of white smoke tea, a plate of fruit slices, the candied fruit was just delivered yesterday and had not been opened, Zhou Sichen hurriedly took it from the refrigerator and opened it and put it out together. What else could he eat? His head spun rapidly.
Zhou Sichen didn't have the habit of eating snacks, these were all prepared by Li Yanchuan for fear that he would stay up late and be bored from working to pass the time.
The venue changed from that door to this door, the same position, and the interesting thing that Su Xiang said was the tea party that was about to take place right now.
She looked at the various candied fruits in front of her with great interest, and picked one and put it in her mouth.
"The last time I went to Venus and said I wanted to meet someone, do you still have an impression?"
Zhou Sichen thought of Li Chengcheng and was silent.
"It's not Li Luocheng, in fact, I don't know who it is, but it's most likely Li Yuan or someone under him. β
Zhou Sichen frowned: "Li Yuan, how do you know him?"
Although Zhou Sichen didn't know Li Yuan, he knew Zhou Chongliang very well, and the two of them must have the same temperament who can be pushed by Zhou Chongliang for so many years. Zhou Chongliang has retired from the management of Zhouchen Group for many years, and now he has basically become an idle shareholder in name only, and he and Li Yuan attend several cocktail parties and banquets from time to time.
He doesn't like to talk, is rigid and tough, and in the early years, he and the Zhou Chen group under his rule.
Even though the father and son didn't see each other often, Zhou Chongliang didn't care about this son, Zhou Sichen still stood in the distance and looked at him well.
And Li Yuan, a senior special assistant who inherits Zhou Chongliang's personality traits, naturally has no intersection with the juniors in the circle, and it stands to reason that Su Xiang's generation should not even know this person's name.
"Whether you believe it or not, just like I said before, Li Yuan has deteriorated, and if he continues to be arranged by your father's side, it will become a deadly tumor. β
Zhou Sichen: "What is the basis for what you said?" β
"Not long ago, I investigated him, and it only touched on the surface, but then I received threatening text messages. β
