Chapter Ninety-Seven: High Fever
After taking a bath, Wu Qifan changed into a nightgown, stood on the terrace on the second floor and looked down, there was still no movement on the first floor, Tang Xiaoli hadn't come back yet, he turned around and went back to the room, looked at his phone, it was already past eleven o'clock.
He hesitated with his mobile phone, dialed the phone number of the driver Xiao Xu, and asked him to contact Tang Xiaoli to pick her up, and after making the call, he was ready to go to sleep, but he didn't expect to receive a call from Xiao Xu as soon as he lay on the bed.
Xiao Xu said, Mr. Wu, Miss Tang's mobile phone is turned off, I can't get through after calling several times, where is she now? Or I'll go straight to him. Wu Qifan was slightly shocked in his heart, thought about it and said, forget it, you don't have to worry about it, rest early.
After hanging up the phone, he dialed Tang Xiaoli's mobile phone, only to hear a voice prompt that the other party had turned off the phone. Wu Qifan stood in front of the window, looking at the pouring rain outside the window, remembering the news that a female college student was accidentally swallowed by a sewer on the road during the rainstorm a few days ago.
He whispered to himself, what kind of assistant he was looking for, it was really worry-free! With that, he changed his clothes, grabbed his car keys and walked out the door, he went down to the garage and drove a Land Rover into the vast night rain.
The night is dark, it is still raining heavily, there are few cars and pedestrians on the road, Wu Qifan can just drive a little faster, several times he took advantage of the yellow light, slammed on the accelerator and rushed over.
In less than half an hour, he came to the hotel, but the hotel lobby was empty, he asked the waiter at the front desk, and the waiter told him that the person he was looking for had left in the rain half an hour ago.
Wu Qifan tried to dial Tang Xiaoli's phone again, but he still prompted to turn off the phone. Where did this man go? Wu Qifan had no idea for a while, so he had to drive slowly along the way home.
Tang Xiaoli did take advantage of the light rain half an hour ago to rush to the subway station in the rain, but before she could run far, the rain became heavy again, and it turned into a heavy rain, so she had to take shelter from the rain in front of a store.
After waiting for a while, the rain still didn't see a little, but the shop behind her was already closing, she asked the time, it was less than ten minutes away from the last subway, but she was still four or five hundred meters away from the subway station, and if she didn't rush over, I was afraid it would be too late to catch the last subway back.
Tang Xiaoli gritted her teeth, blocked her head with her bag and rushed into the rain again, the small stone-sized raindrops crackled on her, and soon she was soaked, and as soon as she entered the subway station, the strong cold air made her feel a shiver.
But she didn't care so much, and rushed into the subway station, and finally rushed in before the last subway closed. Tang Xiaoli's clothes and hair were wet and dripping, and the air conditioning in the subway was also very strong, so cold that she had goosebumps all over her body, and she sneezed several times in succession.
She hugged her hands and shrunk into a ball, she still felt cold, and she finally survived five subway stations, and when she got off the subway, she was almost too cold to walk. Tang Xiaoli walked out of the subway station tremblingly, the temperature outside had risen by almost ten degrees, and she slowly eased up.
But it was still pouring rain in the sky, and she didn't wait for the rain to stop, and rushed all the way back to the apartment in the rain. The air conditioning in the lobby and elevator of the apartment made Tang Xiaoli goosebumps again, this time it was cold and hot, she felt that she couldn't stand it anymore, she just wanted to go home quickly, change her clothes, and sleep well.
Tang Xiaoli gently opened the door, it was pitch black inside, and it was estimated that Wu Qifan had already come back to sleep. She crept back to her room, and before the door could be closed, she quickly picked up her pajamas and rushed into the bathroom, where she wanted to take a hot shower to ward off the cold.
Wu Qifan drove back slowly, looking for Tang Xiaoli on the road, but when he was about to get home, he didn't find any trace of Tang Xiaoli, he was hesitating where to look for it again, and suddenly a prompt message came from his mobile phone, indicating that the door of the house was opened.
Wu Qifan hurriedly opened the smart home mobile phone application and connected to the infrared camera at home, only to see Tang Xiaoli walking in from outside the door wet and walking back to his room lightly.
Wu Qifan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Tang Xiaoli finally came back. He turned off his phone and drove home. When he got home, Wu Qifan deliberately made a loud noise and turned on all the lights in the living room.
Tang Xiaoli had just finished taking a shower when he heard the sound of the living room, and walked out while wiping his hair, and saw that it was Wu Qifan who had come back from outside. Wu Qifan also looked at her, Tang Xiaoli sneezed twice in a row coldly, and his heart suddenly became inexplicably angry.
Like a chicken in the soup, she came back by the subway, but Wu Qifan stayed comfortably at Li Yuanyuan's house until now before coming back, she couldn't help but say, yo, send Miss Li back now?
Wu Qifan originally wanted to care about her for two sentences, but the words had already reached his mouth, but when he heard Tang Xiaoli's words, he swallowed the words back stiffly, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed in his heart, and he braved the heavy rain to go out to find her in vain.
He saw a trail of water on the ground, extending from the gate to Tang Xiaoli's room, so he said angrily, quickly wipe all the water on the ground. When Tang Xiaoli heard this, the fire became even bigger, thinking that Wu Qifan was cold-blooded, it had been raining so heavily outside, and he didn't ask her how she came back, wiping the water traces on the ground was more important than her, a big living person.
Tang Xiaoli really wanted to tell him how she came back from braving the heavy rain just now, soaking wet and squeezing the subway, but she immediately became discouraged again, because she thought that she was just an assistant to Wu Qifan, why should she let him care about herself?
Thinking of this, she had to reply stupidly, oh, I'll go and mop it up. Wu Qifan ignored her and went straight to the second floor. Tang Xiaoli looked at his back, rolled his eyes at him and scolded silently, cold-blooded ghost!
After scolding, I had to take a mop and mop the floor clean. That night, when she slept until the middle of the night, Tang Xiaoli suddenly felt chills, so she found two quilts from the cabinet to cover herself, but she still felt very cold, and she put on her winter down jacket coat again, and then fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, Tang Xiaoli was woken up by the mobile phone alarm clock, only to feel a splitting headache, dry mouth, a hot and cold body, the whole person was groggy, she pressed the alarm clock, and continued to fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took for her to hear someone knock on the door in a daze, but she didn't even have the strength to speak. After a while, she felt someone open the door and come in, call her a few times, then walk to her bedside, touch her forehead, and go out again.
Wu Qifan had a work arrangement for plane shooting this morning, he got up early, but after waiting for a long time, he still couldn't see Tang Xiaoli and the breakfast delivered, he held back his anger and knocked on Tang Xiaoli's door, but no one agreed after calling for a long time.
Wu Qifan twisted the doorknob and found that the porter was not locked, so he pushed open the door and walked in, and saw Tang Xiaoli covered with three layers of quilts, and there was a layer of down jacket exposed, and he had a bad premonition.
