Not long after Zhou Yan left, Xu Nan finished the ward, and helped Chang An turn Xiaozhi over.

Originally, Chang An thought it was just an ordinary single room, but when he arrived, he knew that it was a VIP, and there was a small living room in addition to complete household appliances and furniture.

She knew that there were very few wards of this size in hospitals, no more than three, and they were generally reserved for people with special status.

In the past, Chang Wangde lived in this kind of ward when he was admitted to the hospital.

Now that Zhou Wei let Xiaozhi live in, Chang An was a little uncomfortable, or unhappy.

She selfishly felt that she shouldn't owe him too much, and she was afraid that she would not be able to leave when she owed too much, but she would only put these thoughts in her heart, and there was no wave on her face.

It was almost noon when the child was settled, and Xu Nan ran for her for a long time.

Chang An asked politely: "Assistant Xu, it's hard work, why don't you go out for a light meal together?"

I didn't plan that he could really nod, after all, the two were not familiar, but Xu Nan pushed down the frame and agreed.

Chang An could only bite the bullet, explained a few more words to the nurse, and the two went out of the ward together.

Generally, there are many restaurants in front of large hospitals, but the grade is not satisfactory.

After turning around, Chang An picked a Hunan restaurant that looked quite regular.

"I remember that Assistant Xu's hometown seems to be from Changsha, do you want to eat your hometown food?"

Xu Nan was stunned, he really didn't expect Chang An to remember where he was from.

"I'm fine, but I remember you don't seem to eat spicy food. ”

Chang An smiled: "I didn't eat it before, but now it's no problem." ”

Xu Nan: "Then this one." ”

Because it was not yet the lunch rush hour, there were not many people in the store, so the two of them chose a secluded place closer to the inside.

The waiter diligently handed over the list, and Chang An gave it directly to Xu Nan, "I rarely eat Hunan food, so you should order it." ”

Xu Nan was also quite refreshing, and took the list and ordered a few dishes that are more representative of Hunan cuisine.

"Why don't you have some more wine?" Chang An suggested again.

Xu Nan waved his hand again and again, "I don't need to drink, I have to go back to the company in a while." ”

"It's still early. ”

"There is a meeting at two o'clock, and Mr. Zhou doesn't like others to be late. ”

Chang An smiled, she was not familiar with Xu Nan, but she had seen him a lot, how to say it, she felt that he must be no problem in terms of work ability, but sometimes he was not tactful enough in dealing with people.

In other words, maybe a bit of an axis.

"Then I can only replace wine with tea, thank you for helping me take care of Xiaozhi last night. Chang An took a small pot and filled the teacup in front of Xu Nan.

Xu Nan was stunned again, until Chang An raised his glass and touched him, he was still a little stupid.

Chang An reminded: "Assistant Xu?"

"You're gracious. Xu Nan hurriedly raised his glass.

"You stayed up all night yesterday, and you helped me for most of the day today. ”

"It should. ”

Soon the dish came up, and the first dish was chopped pepper fish head.

Chang An tasted two bites, although he has been able to eat a little spicy in recent years, the degree of Hunan cuisine is still a little unacceptable.

She drank half a glass of water in quick succession.

Xu Nan smiled, "Isn't it too spicy?"

Chang An: "A little, I thought it was similar to Sichuan food, but I didn't expect it to be so spicy." ”

Xu Nan: "Sichuan cuisine is hemp, our Hunan cuisine is straight and spicy, if you can't get used to it, we can change places." ”

Chang An hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't do it, the dishes are all served, and it will be a waste to change them." She took another bite and laughed, "This is okay, this is acceptable." ”

Looking up, I saw Xu Nan in a daze, "What's wrong?"

Xu Nan came back to his senses, added a little hot water to Chang'an's cup, and suddenly said, "You think you seem to have really changed a lot?"

Chang An's consciousness sank, but he smiled again in an instant, "Is it?

Xu Nan: "I can't tell, it's just the feeling... It's not the same as before. ”

Chang An put down his chopsticks. "You're trying to say it's not as particular as it used to be. ”

Xu Nan fished out his head.

In the past, Chang'an, how to say it, no matter from appearance, clothing to details of life, all aspects are perfect, because the family background is there, the identity is there, and every word and deed must be paid attention to, as if you will always have a beautiful cover on your body.

Everyone thinks she is very good, and she also thinks that she should and must be good, but it is impossible to say what is good, because although she is always gentle and elegant, standing there always gives people a sense of unapproachable distance.

But that doesn't seem the same anymore.

Xu Nan: "I don't believe that one day I will come to Hunan restaurant with you for dinner." ”

Chang An was amused by him, and laughed along, and his eyes drooped after laughing. "Did you all think I was too dignified?"

Xu Nan touched his head again and smiled embarrassedly: "It's so interesting." ”

Chang An: "And now?"

Xu Nan looked at the person sitting opposite, with short hair and no makeup, and wore a black coat when he came, but now he was probably hot, and took off his coat, leaving only ordinary cotton T, and his sleeves were rolled up a little, revealing a small half of his slender white arm.

The face is still the same face, but the outer cover has been removed and seems to be more accessible.

"It's just... It seems a little more grounded now..."

Chang An glared instantly.

Xu Nan saw that her face was gloomy, and quickly changed her words, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that, you ......"

"Hahaha!" Chang An instantly laughed again, "Tease you, you don't have to be so serious." ”

Xu Nan: "......"

Chang An: "And don't always be you, I'm not used to listening to it, if you don't mind, just call me by my name." ”

Xu Nan waved his hand: "What is this?" ”

Chang An: "It's okay, follow your Mr. Zhou." ”

Xu Nan: "No, no, Mr. Zhou knows that he is going to abolish me." He pushed the frame and scratched his head, looking nervous in a series of small movements.

Chang An knew that Zhou Wei was still very deterrent in front of his subordinates, which was entirely due to the fact that he was often unsmiling in the company, and the boss was very smiling.

After a few seconds of silence, she picked up the cup and asked, "How has he been doing in the past few years?"

Xu Nan was stunned, of course he knew who Chang An meant by "he", but he didn't expect her to ask him this question directly.

Chang An saw that he didn't speak, and spoke again: "I'm sorry, I may ask you if it's inappropriate, but I think you are often with him, may..."

"It's fine. Xu Nan habitually pushed down the frame again, he didn't mind talking about the boss's private affairs at this time, after all, for so many years, he was probably the only one who watched Zhou Wei come over step by step, and even at this time he was already full of desire to talk, and he wanted to tell Chang An some things, but he organized the language in his mind for a long time, and he came out with a sentence: "... Mr. Zhou has been really difficult over the years. ”

Chang An was stunned, "Do you mean work?"

Indeed, entering the commercial real estate, Rong'an has become one of the best signboards in China within three years.

Chang An knows that he has always been very powerful in business, courageous, courageous, strategic, and more importantly, he seems to have a kind of self-confidence of "self-respecting and invincible" at any time.

"At work, I know he's been under a lot of pressure in the past few years. ”

"No, it's not about work. Xu Nan denied, "It's true that the work pressure is great, but Mr. Zhou's ability is there, and this matter can be gained as much as you put in the effort, it is fair and just, but emotionally..."

Chang An frowned.

He smiled: "That's it for today, I'm not afraid of your grudge, I always feel that you and Mr. Zhou are together, and you are not attentive enough." ”

Chang An is dumb and not attentive enough?

"What do you mean by that?"

"I just think you..."Xu Nan hissed, "How to say it, do you know, just put it in the past, Mr. Zhou was always cautious of you, he was always afraid that you would be wronged, and then you had that incident, others may not know in recent years, but I know how bitter Mr. Zhou is in his heart." At first, he stayed on the island all day, barely ate or slept much, and people were out of shape, and then he fainted and was brought back, and he was sick for a while, and slowly got better. ”

"...Actually, it's not good, it's just that others think he's good, but I know, he just doesn't say it, he takes the responsibility for your accident on himself, it was very serious for a while, he couldn't go back to live, he stayed in the office all night, I know that he has been putting a bottle of Shule in the drawer, at first I thought he was preparing it because he couldn't sleep, but then I found out that it was not, the medicine in it is not less, not only is it not less, but it has been increasing, and now it is full of a large bottle, and then I told Lao Deng about it, Lao Deng was also worried, and talked to him several times。 ”

Xu Nan stopped, looked at Chang An again, and said, "Do you know that Mr. Zhou has been seeing a psychiatrist for the past few years?"

Chang An's mouth stirred, "I don't know, how could he..."

"Because of you!"

“……”

"Because you have been blaming yourself and regretting it, there is bitterness in your heart that you can't say, and you can't relieve it, just the year before last, you died... I'm sorry, I mean the day you had an accident..."

Chang An smiled bitterly, "It's okay, you say." ”

Xu Nan probably felt that he had already talked about this anyway, and he was not afraid of offending people.

"Mr. Zhou didn't go to work that day, and he kept turning off his phone when he called, and Lao Deng and I looked for him for a whole day, and we were in a hurry, and later I learned that he went to Italy alone. ”

Chang An lowered his head and stirred his fingers.

"You were a victim back then, but Mr. Zhou suffered no less than you, so I can't figure it out, why don't you come back when you've been fine all these years?"

Xu Nan obviously had resentment in him when he said these words.

He is a bystander, and he is a bystander on Zhou Wei's side, so standing in his position does have a reason to hold grievances for Zhou Wei.

Chang An didn't say anything, just drank the glass of water in his hand silently.

In the end, Xu Nan rushed to pay the bill.

The two walked back to the hospital, and when they arrived at the parking lot, Chang An had his hands in his pockets.

"In any case, Xiao Zhi still has to thank you in the matter. ”

Xu Nan smiled bitterly: "Don't thank me, I just do what Mr. Zhou tells me, but..." he took out the car keys, "Forget it, I don't have much to say in this identity, I just hope you can be kind to Mr. Zhou, really, Mr. Zhou is not easy." ”

Chang An watched Xu Nan drive away, she didn't go back to the ward immediately, but found an open place to stay by herself for a while, smoked a cigarette, and thought about what Xu Nan said just now.

Approaching five o'clock, Chang An received a text message from Zhou Wei.

"I'm sorry, the company has something to deal with temporarily, it may be late, why don't you have dinner at the hospital first? ”

Chang An felt that he seemed to be a little too nervous.

"No, you can just be busy. ”

The text message went back, there was no information on Zhou Wei's side, Chang An guessed that he was probably really busy, but at around six o'clock, she received a call from Xu Nan again, saying that Zhou Tao asked him to send him back to Changhe.

Chang An couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to settle Xiaozhi and say hello to the nurse.

Fortunately, Xiaozhi is not squeamish.

It was almost seven o'clock when Chang An saw Xu Nan.

She felt that Zhou Wei was making a fuss, but everyone was here, and it was not easy to say anything.

got into Xu Nan's car, but he was blocked as soon as he got out of the hospital, and it was not easy to walk anywhere during this time period.

Seeing that the front was tightly blocked, and he didn't move for seven or eight minutes, Xu Nan was obviously a little anxious.

In order to alleviate the dull atmosphere in the car, Chang An asked: "Has the company been doing a lot lately?"

Xu Nan did not hide it, "Yes, many, especially IPOs have progressed to the final stage. ”

Chang An also heard a little about Rongbang's preparation for listing.

"Will it be late today?"

"At least until eleven or twelve o'clock, there is a problem with the data in a report, and now it needs to be investigated one by one. ”

Chang An didn't understand these either, so he didn't ask any further.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the car finally detoured out of the road at the entrance of the hospital, but it was soon blocked at the next intersection.

Seeing that Xu Nan was about to sweat, the car was still crawling on the road like a turtle.

Chang An thought for a while: "Why don't I get out of the car, you go back to the company first." ”

Of course Xu Nan refused, or he didn't dare. "Mr. Zhou said that he must send you home. ”

The axis is a real axis, and Chang'an can't help it, but to go to the long river, you have to pass through an urban area, and it used to be a congested road section.

"Why don't you go to the company with you?"

Xu Nan was stunned, "Is it okay?"

Chang An smiled: "Why can't I?

"No, no, you're mistaken, I didn't mean that. ”

"Then let's go, turn around at the intersection ahead. ”

Half an hour later, the car turned into the underground parking lot of a building in the development zone, and Xu Nan took Chang An to take the elevator and explained quite heartily.

"The company has changed places, just moved here last year, from the 46th floor to the top is our area, but three of them are allocated to Rong'an. ”

Chang An nodded and hummed.

In fact, why didn't she know?

Rongbang moved the building last year, Rong'an was officially established the year before last, and even every real estate and every project that Zhou Wei has done over the years, she has paid attention to.

"Mr. Zhou should be in the conference room now, do you need to go over to find him?"

"No need, I'll just go to the office and wait for him. ”

"Okay, then I'll help you press directly to the top floor. ”

Xu Nan was really busy, his mobile phone rang twice in the elevator, and Chang An didn't let him send him upstairs.

There is an office on the top floor, and she is not afraid of getting lost, so she gets out of the elevator and steps on the soft carpet, completely absorbing the sound, and only hears the sound of the wind hitting the towering floor.

The door of the office is not locked, Chang An pushed the door in, although it has changed to a building, and the area is much larger than the previous office, but the decoration style has not changed, it is still dark gray, wood and marble are the main materials, and the atmosphere is cold and hard.

Chang An walked around inside, the table was cleaned up, and there was nothing special, but he couldn't help but glance at a cup next to the desktop computer.

Mug on a white background with blue stripes and a silver rim on the rim.

Of course, Chang An remembered this cup, which she used when she was working in Huijian, but the cup was on Zhou Wei's table at this time, and there was still a small half cup of coffee that had been cold.

That is, he has been drinking from this cup for several years.

Chang An felt that his heart was being clenched by something again, and he couldn't help but walk over, there was a row of drawers on the side cabinet of the desk.

She subconsciously opened the bottom one, and put some personal sundries in it, a box of sleeve nails, two idle lighters, a notepad, an iPad, and a few scattered business cards, and the bottle of Shule was casually thrown inside.

There are several rows of black letters on the medicine bottle - "Estezolam tablets, Sulepazem, sleep, sedation, anticonvulsant, anxiolytic..."

Chang An's hand shook accidentally when he unscrewed the bottle, and as a result, half of the bottle full of medicine came out.

She almost fell to her knees on the ground, the small pills, white, rolled all over the place, she picked them up one by one, the more she picked them up, the more panicked she became, and then the mobile phone rang. Weekly text messages.

"I probably have an hour to finish, you sit in my office for a while, there is food in the refrigerator, if you are bored, you can watch TV for a while, the remote control should be in the coffee table drawer, I can't find me and let Xu Nan pass." ”

Chang An looked at the text message and felt that he was so verbose, but he couldn't stop the tears, one by one.

I don't want to pick it up, it's all over the place.

She sat on the ground, hugged her knees and cried uncontrollably.

……

Zhou Wei sent two text messages to Chang An in a row, but there was no reply from there, and he was a little worried.

"Old Deng, I'll go out. ”

Deng Shunlin was leading the team to check the information and waved his hand.

Zhou Wei walked out of the conference room and took the elevator upstairs.

The door of the office was closed, he pushed it open and walked in, and the bag that Chang An carried when he went out in the morning was thrown on the sofa, but there was no one in sight.

Zhou Xun looked around, but there was no one, but he stepped on a small pill under his feet, followed by a second, a third... Until I heard the sound of inhaling and pumping from behind the desk.

He walked around slowly, and the front was just blocked by the computer host, so he didn't pay attention, and now he saw Chang An sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, his head buried.

"What's the matter? How do you sit on the ground?"

Zhou Wei walked over and wanted to pull her up, but Chang An suddenly raised his head, staring at Zhou Tao with a pair of eyes washed by tears, which were full of coldness, pain and grief.

Zhou's arm hung in midair.

"Crying?"

As soon as the words fell, a white object smashed over, and half a bottle of pills fell on Zhou Xian's body like rain.

Zhou Wei was stunned.

Chang An looked at him viciously.

"What are you doing with so many sleeping pills? Do you have a philistinia? It's funny to secretly hide so many pills, or do you think it's interesting that you have a deep love affair?"

Chang An was suddenly hysterical, Zhou Wei was caught off guard by her sudden temper, and looked down at the ground, where pills were scattered all over the carpet.

"You get up first, get up and talk about it!"

He calmed down and pulled Chang An, who was dragged up by him, crying and shouting to greet him with his fists.

"Don't touch me, stay away from me!"

"Who is like this!"

"Neurotic, you neurotic, who made you ...... like this"

The fist smashed down, raining down on Zhou Wei's chest, arms and shoulders.

She was completely out of control, crying and screaming like a little madman.

Zhou Yan didn't hide, let her vent and beat, Chang An unconsciously repeated the action, crying so much that he couldn't catch his breath, but he was still muttering and scolding him in his mouth.

“…… You asshole...... Bastard!"

"What if something happens to me, what will you let me do?

"Bastard, bastard......"

Seeing that she was tired of knocking, tired, and about to slide down unstoppable, Zhou Wei grabbed her shoulders and hugged the person into his arms.

"Okay, okay, I didn't eat either..."

"Really, I haven't eaten a single one!"

He coaxed her like a child, but Chang An cried even more vigorously when he heard it.

She felt like she was going to die of heartache, and she was almost out of breath.

Why is this happening?

"Zhou Xun, do you know..."Chang An called his name, grabbing his collar with both hands, "I'm really... I really ......."

She cried and cried, trying to say something to ease her emotions or express something in her heart, but the great sorrow and fear blocked everything.

The only instinctive reaction of the human being at this point is to cry.

Tears couldn't stop churning, and I trembled, but I couldn't seem to spell a complete sentence with all my strength.

In the end, she simply gave up.

She knew it was useless for her to say anything now.

"I'm sorry... I love you, I love you......"

The three words that I always thought were cheesy have now become the only thing she wants to express the most.

Zhou Wei's ears echoed her voice, with the tearing and pain in her crying, and even her whole soul seemed to have been peeled off a layer of skin by her.

"I know... I know ......"

He raised his hand to clasp the back of Chang'an's head, and his hot breath pressed down, looking for her lips.

Chang An took the initiative to lean up.

It was too urgent, it was too painful, and the intertwined breathing was not enough to soothe her fear and distress at this time.

Zhou Wei hunched over and took a big bite, sucked and sucked repeatedly, and swallowed desperately, moving so violently that it seemed to tear her into her abdomen.

Chang An endured this destructive power, accepted all the wetness and looting he had passed, and he was not to be outdone, the tears in his mouth were mixed with blood, and he returned them all to him in one mouth.

The two breathed and intertwined, you came and went, and the souls that woke up in pain were tightly together, until Chang An was pushed to the cabinet door by him, and with a deep kiss, Zhou Yan was already a little out of control, and his palm rubbed the back of Chang An's neck.

Chang An raised his head, his breathing was completely disordered, and tears stuck to his hair on his face.

Zhou Wei brushed those strands of hair away, revealing a pair of dark eyes.

He pushed the tip of his nose against the tip of hers, his breath still clinging to hers.

"What to do?" he asked in a hoarse voice, "going home?"

Chang An gasped heavily, and nodded lightly on his head, which was wrapped in Zhou Wei's palm.

"Well, go home..."
