Chapter Seventy-One: The Life You Want
Lin Zhizhi came back with a cup of warm water from the pantry and handed it directly to Qiao Ze.
"Remember to take the medicine!"
After saying this, he turned around and was about to go to the office desk.
"Wait a minute~"
"What's wrong with you?"
"You come and sit next to me for a while~I want to talk to you~"
"I said Master Qiao~ If you want to be free, then let me hurry up first, where do you think I have time to chat with you?"
"I said that there is~ Besides, I can give you this chat time~"
"Then I really have to thank Master Qiao in advance~ It's just that the matter of chatting will be avoided first~ When today's things are over, we will return home, I am chatting with you, if you talk now, I'm afraid I don't have to go home tonight!"
"If you don't go back, you won't go back~ It's a big deal that we work overtime in the company together, which is also good, there is a sofa here, and sleeping is no problem~"
"I said, Master Qiao, you still know that there is only one sofa here! When the time comes, you will have a place to rest, but I will have no place to rest! β
"Who said that? A sofa is enough for us, you can lie in my arms when the time comes, my arms are warm, and even the quilt is saved~"
Lin Zhizhi felt that he shouldn't have talked to this Young Master Qiao, as if he was a fool, because he couldn't communicate with such a naΓ―ve person.
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you! Immature! β
Seeing the people who turned around and left, Qiao Ze, who was obviously told about it, was in a better mood.
Sometimes this boy will really become very naΓ―ve when he talks about love, although Qiao Ze still doesn't understand that he has fallen in love, but his current words and deeds are strongly expressed, and he is indeed a little tempted by Lin Zhizhi.
Of course, whether he was a little tempted or completely moved, only he Qiao Ze himself knew.
Lin Zhizhi is growing very fast now, after all, there is such a person as Qiao Ze who can be said to be like a mentor and a friend, and it can also be said to be a leader who leads himself, the reason why he says this is because Lin Zhizhi is new to the workplace after all, whether the muddy water is deep or shallow, it may be far beyond his imagination, but fortunately, he is lucky, before Qiao Ze directly arranged himself by his side, now that I think about it, I am really lucky, if it weren't for Qiao Ze who has been protecting himself like this, I'm afraid that I am also difficult to move an inch in the workplace, the so-called people are terrible, even if they can do not care, but they can't stand some people will make small moves behind the back, you must know that this society is so realistic, the so-called weak and strong, you don't want to eat others, then it will be eaten by others, if you want to be alone, then who can guarantee that in the dye vat, you can also do it out of the mud without staining? Therefore, Lin Zhizhi really thanked and thanked Qiao Ze from the bottom of his heart, and said that if he likes someone, he will make the other party become a better version of himself, although he doesn't like Qiao Ze that kindly, but in Lin Zhizhi's opinion, he seems to be really becoming more and more goal-oriented, even if he terminates the contract with Qiao Ze in the future, but the experience he has learned from staying by Qiao Ze's side, and these social experiences, are all things that others can't take away from him.
The afternoon passed in such an orderly manner, Lin Zhizhi didn't even dare to believe that in the face of so many documents, he could actually complete all the instructions before getting off work.
Not to mention that she didn't expect it herself, even Qiao Ze was a little surprised.
"Wife, you're too powerful~ It's just impressive!"
"It's not all good that you taught~ I've learned so much from you, and now it's finally coming in handy~ Finally, I don't have to work overtime, I really have to go back and get a good night's sleep~"
"Wife~ This sleep is definitely supposed to be, but after we get off work, we have to go to the restaurant for a meal and then go home to sleep, right?"
"Why do you want to go to the restaurant again? Isn't it the same to eat at home~ And it's more clean and affordable to eat at home~ So you just listen to me, let's go home and eat, okay? β
Qiao Ze naturally agreed, "Okay then~ I listen to my wife for everything~ It's just ......"
"Just what?" Lin Zhizhi asked.
"It's just that when we get home, the servants at home have already withdrawn, I have this craft, you have also learned, and then you have to work hard for your wife to cook by yourself, in fact, I really don't want my wife to suffer this burden, so I will propose that we also go to the restaurant to eat at night~ Besides, today, my wife has read so many documents, you must be so tired that you can't do it, how can I be embarrassed to let you go home and prepare dinner?"
"Then I'll just take a bite tonight~ Anyway, as long as I can fill my stomach~"
Qiao Mo was still curious, "How simple does that have to be?" β
Just look at Lin Zhizhi's mysterious look, "Husband, you just listen to me~ Let's go home now~ I promise to let you be full~"
This is also considered a day of repair, Qiao Ze's condition has recovered a lot, and he also has strength.
"Wife~ It's going to take a while to drive, you make up for sleep in the car first, I'll drive, and when I get home, I'll wake you up~"
"Then it's hard husband~"
The two of them sat in the car, and Qiao Mo took off his suit jacket and handed it directly to Lin Zhizhi.
"Husband~ What are you?"
"Of course it's for you, don't say more, hurry up and catch up on sleep?"
In fact, Qiao Ze was a little shy, because he couldn't remember it, and such a thing as handing over his coat to the other party seemed to be far, far away in his memory.
I never thought that there was such an opportunity to hand over my coat to the other party, in fact, for Qiao Ze, the person who can let him hand over his coat, if she excludes her first love, she Lin Zhizhi can be regarded as the first woman.
The reason why Qiao Ze thinks so, maybe he didn't even notice it himself, he seems to have begun to slowly come out of the past memory, although the speed is a little slow, but no matter how you say it, this is also a good thing, it's like a person hiding in the darkness for a long time, and suddenly a beam of light shines into this darkness, and it also shines on the person hiding in the shadows, so that this person who has been cold in his heart feels warm again, this long-lost feeling is really too greedy, and it can't be said to be greedy, it can only be said that this feeling, If it was placed in the past, it would have been an extravagant hope, but now, this is no longer an extravagant hope, but has become his own hope, Qiao Ze himself is also firm in his confidence, because he knows that as long as there is this person by his side, he will definitely get rid of this darkness completely.
For who will not walk away with the light? This person is his own light to George, although this light came a little late, but it still came after all, so from this level, for Qiao Ze, Lin Zhizhi is a very important existence, even so important that Qiao Ze can no longer easily leave her.
It's just such a thing, if Qiao Mo doesn't say it himself, I'm afraid Lin Zhizhi will never know!
When waiting for the signal, Qiao Ze turned his head to look at the person next to him, this person slept sweetly, I am afraid that she is really tired today.
It can be said that this person has now completely become his right-hand man, and it seems that his pressure has been reduced a lot.
Qiao Ze deliberately drove the car slower, in order to let this person sleep more comfortably~
Originally, Qiao Ze had already parked the car at the door of the house, but he couldn't bear to wake up the person next to him, so he had to gently help this person untie his seat belt first, and moved this person to his shoulder very gently, so he maintained this position, and Qiao Ze also sat upright and motionless.
Until Lin Zhizhi woke up naturally, the first thing he just woke up was, "Isn't it here?" β
Qiao Zeqing coughed, "You little lazy worm~ It's seven o'clock now, we've already arrived, but you've slept long enough~"
"It's seven o'clock? Then why didn't you wake me up? Didn't you say okay, you'll wake me up when you get home~"
Lin Zhizhi, who had just woken up, spoke in a voice that was a little urn-like, of course, to Qiao Ze's ears, it was so cute!
"I can't bear to disturb my wife~ So I'm really waiting patiently, how about my wife? Do you feel better after a good night's sleep? β
"Don't really say it, I slept well this night, but it affected your meal~ I'll go home and cook for you~"
The two of them entered the house, and soon, Lin Zhizhi solved the dinner problem.
It turned out that she just boiled a little hot water, and then brewed two packets of instant noodles.
When Qiao Ze saw the instant noodles in front of him, he immediately pouted, "Wife~ You just used this to send me away?" β
"Or else? Only this will let you eat it in your mouth quickly~ And it can satisfy your hunger, so be obedient~ Eat it quickly! β
Qiao Ze felt aggrieved, because he didn't want to eat this instant noodle at all, you know, before he met his wife, sometimes Tianpeng used this instant noodle to pass himself, maybe at that time he was already a little hurt by this thing, and now he wants to let himself eat this, of course, he is not happy.
Seeing that Qiao Ze didn't move his chopsticks for a long time, "What's wrong husband?" Why don't you eat it? β
"Wife~ I really don't like to eat this, I also know that my wife has worked hard today, it's a big deal that I won't eat well, I'll go upstairs and take a shower first~"
After saying this, he turned around and was about to leave.
Fortunately, Lin Zhizhi stopped him, "Husband~ This matter is all my fault, I know too little about you, I don't know if you don't like to eat this, otherwise, you wait for me, I'll cook you some food, okay?" β
"No need wife~ I don't want you to continue to work hard because of me, it's okay if you don't eat a meal~"
"How can this work? You still have to take your medicine on time, if you don't eat, you won't be able to take your medicine~"
Qiao Ze sat back in his chair, "Wife, in your opinion, am I a patient who needs to take medicine often and need someone to take care of me all the time?" β
"You! It's true that you're sick, but even if you're not sick, I'll take good care of you~ Besides, now, your condition has gotten better and better, which is a great comfort to me, I hope you are full of vitality, and you are so young and promising, you should be full of love for life, but you yourself force yourself to pretend to be mature, and you are not tired of being a person with such a false mask? β
Qiao Ze didn't expect Lin Zhizhi to say such a thing at all.
I'm also a little puzzled, when did it start? This man actually saw through himself.
She is not wrong at all, she is wearing a false mask to be a person, because in this society, if you have shown your true face, you will not get the same sincerity, so everyone seems to naturally wear a false mask, pretending to greet each other, pretending to be comforting, pretending to praise, and even pretending to be emotional.
Although saying such a thing is a bit suspicious of slapping the face, but this is not entirely accurate, after all, he did pretend to be a couple with Lin Zhizhi at the beginning, but now it has become different, as he gets along with this person for more and more time, and as he gets to know each other more and more, at least for Qiao Ze now, he is no longer willing to continue to pretend in front of Lin Zhizhi.
Although Lin Zhizhi didn't know it yet, Qiao Ze had already revealed his truest side to her, childish and cute, vexatious and jealous, disobedient and willful, you know, these are all things that Qiao Ze will never show before, how strong he is in disguise, how indestructible, he has a sense of maturity that does not match his age, and he also has a city that he should not have at his age, these are not what he wants, but these are his protective colors, When he is alone, if he does not protect himself, then who can protect him?
But now it seems to be getting more and more different, there is a person who is willing to take care of him and protect him, although the two of them still have that contract, but in Qiao Ze's heart, that contract has long been in name only, because no matter what kind of contract it is, it no longer means anything to Qiao Ze who has moved his heart.
Lin Zhizhi was busy in the kitchen for a while, made two specialty dishes simply, and quickly brought them over and put them on the dining table.
But now the dish is ready, but there is no rice, because if you want to cook rice, you still need to wash the rice, and it will take a while for the rice to cook.
"Husband~ It's really not okay to eat some bread as a staple food, right?"
"I don't need my wife~ I'm just eating vegetables, these dishes smell so good~"
I don't know what the reason is today, and I don't usually see how good Qiao Ze's appetite is, but he actually ate the whole two plates of dishes today.
It seems that the time delayed because of sleeping in the car really starved Qiao Ze.
Thinking about it like this, Lin Zhizhi felt guilty, "Husband~ I'm really embarrassed today, it's all my fault, if it weren't for me, I wouldn't have let you eat so late~ Hungry you, right?" β
"No, wife~ I don't know what's going on today, my appetite is surprisingly good, I think it's the reason why my wife's cooking is so delicious~"
Qiao Ze did not hesitate at all about Lin Zhizhi's praise now, but came as soon as he opened his mouth.
Lin Zhizhi was a little embarrassed by what he said, "How can you say that it is so good~ You won't be satisfied so easily with such a simple dish, right?" β
"Although this dish is simple, it is full of love for my wife, and the taste is definitely different from that of the restaurant outside~"
These words made Lin Zhizhi cry and laugh, "Of course it will be different from the restaurant outside~ It was made by a big chef, even if I am a home-cooked dish at most, it is not as good as Kobery, right?" β
"That's not what it means~ I just like the dishes my wife makes, there is a feeling of home and the taste of love~ Although it is a bit abstract to describe it, it seems that there is really no way to describe this feeling in words~ Looking at my wife's busy figure and eating the meals carefully prepared by my wife, I really think this may be the life I want~"
Lin Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this eldest young master is the eldest young master, when he sees ordinary little things, he can actually sublimate it to such a point, it really makes people don't know how to accept this.
"Wife~ Are you willing to live a good life with me all the time?"
The sincerity of this sentence can be described as 100% for Qiao Ze.
But Lin Zhizhi didn't take his words seriously at all, "Okay~ Don't sigh here, didn't you say that you were going to go upstairs to take a bath?" I'm going to prepare clothes for you~"
Qiao Ze's face immediately became gloomy, "Wife, you haven't answered my question directly and head-on~"
What is there to answer to this? You and I both know in our hearts that we live together like this only temporarily, and now this is also called life, but if before such a day, add a belong, then I really don't know how to answer~ Because how can the two of us live like this all the time? When the two of us have achieved each other's goals and the contract has expired, maybe we will continue to be friends at that time, or maybe we will never see each other again~ So it's not that I don't answer questions like yours, it's that I don't need to answer such questions at all~"
Lin Zhizhi's words, as if every sentence was like a knife, deeply pierced Qiao Ze's heart.
Qiao Ze snorted coldly, "So that's what you really think, right?" I didn't expect you to be more powerful, I can't be as free and easy as you! I'm so funny, how could I ask you such a question about this stupid woman! You don't understand anything at all! β
Throwing down these words, Qiao Ze turned around and went upstairs directly, and halfway up the stairs, Qiao Ze added, "You are not allowed to follow upstairs!" You're sleeping downstairs today! β
Lin Zhizhi is also a little inexplicable, this was fine just now, why did he turn his face so quickly? It's really the young master's temper, but now he is a little used to it, to be precise, it's not a habit, it's just that he seems to know a little bit about Qiao Ze's character, the more he makes trouble like this, he often doesn't coax him, and when he is angry, it's not too late to appease him, otherwise if he is rash now, it will only make him more disgusted.
