Chapter 35: On Call

After Gu Yueqing saw the text message sent by Shi Sheng, he directly used Yan Momo's mobile phone to send her a message back, asking her to go to the Old Time Cafe, and then deleted Shi Sheng's messages and missed calls.

He was the first to come to the Old Time Cafe, and sat in the corner where he had sat before, staring at the door with an expressionless face, but his mind was full of thoughts.

When Shi Sheng threatened him with a video for 5 million, he suspected more than once that they had been together for three years, and if she was really a powerful woman who was greedy for money, she should have asked for money from herself in these three years.

But she never had.

When Shi Sheng came to the Old Time Cafe, it was already six o'clock.

The moment she walked in, she subconsciously looked at the corner position, but she was suddenly shocked, because the person sitting in that position was Gu Yueqing.

She looked left and right, trying to find Yan Momo's figure, but found nothing.

She took a step back, her hand gripping the handle of the glass door from behind her, ready to leave. However, Gu Yueqing hurried to her one step ahead of her and held her hand.

"Yan Momo won't come." As usual in his indifferent tone, his black eyes shone with a strange light.

Before coming to the café, he first went to find Yan Momo, returned her handbag that she left in his car, and told him that he had a job tonight and asked her not to contact him. In order to prevent Shi Sheng from avoiding him again because of Yan Momo's relationship.

"What?" Shi Sheng felt that her breath was mixed with his breath, and the slightly convex Adam's apple rolled up and down with his speech, and she couldn't help but shake her mind for a while.

Gu Yueqing pulled down her hand on the doorknob and dragged her all the way to the Maybach parked in the parking space.

"Get in the car."

Shi Sheng came back to his senses, looked at the door that had been opened, and after some ideological struggle, he bypassed his hand, opened the door of the rear seat and sat in.

Gu Yueqing was noncommittal about her behavior, neatly closed the door in the passenger seat, took a long step, and sat next to her.

"Where's Momo?" Shi Sheng moved to the other side, she didn't intend to have too much contact with him.

"Don't worry," Gu Yueqing leaned sideways slightly, her cold eyes did not contain a trace of emotion, "she won't appear." ”

"What do you mean?" Shi Sheng was puzzled, it was obviously Yan Momo who asked her to come over, why did she only see Gu Yueqing alone now?

"I saw your text message."

She stared, stunned.

"What do you have to explain to me?" Gu Yueqing seemed to be very satisfied with her expression, the corners of her mouth rose slightly in a shallow arc, and the fingers of her right hand on her thigh tapped from time to time.

"Nope." Shi Sheng looked away, and his eyes were on the other side of the ink-colored window.

He leaned forward, his eyes dark, "Did the five million you took from me last time just to operate on the director of the orphanage?" ”

Feeling the oppressive momentum from Gu Yueqing's body, she began to feel weak, but it was clear that she hadn't done anything to hurt him, and in the face of his questioning, why did she feel weak and flustered?

Shi Sheng forced himself not to look back, and his gaze locked directly on the inky glass.

Gu Yueqing didn't intend to give up, he stretched out his hand and pinched her thin chin, turned her face to look at him, and his tone was stiff and strong, "Answer my question, isn't it?" ”

She stubbornly bit her lower lip and never responded. Even if he knew, so what? Such a trivial thing does not change anything at all.

A calm gaze scanned over her stubborn little face, and he admitted that he really underestimated her stubbornness.

"If you don't answer, you're acquiescing."

I waited for a while, but I never got a response from her. His hand was still pinching her chin, his delicate skin was already a little red, and a pair of wet eyes were stubbornly staring at him.

Gu Yueqing couldn't help but let go of his hand, and a trace of imperceptible pity flashed in his eyes.

"I can help you."

Shi Sheng turned his face sideways in surprise, his slender hand was flat on his thigh, and the expression on his face was unwavering, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.

"What about the conditions?" She withdrew her gaze and looked straight ahead.

Gu Yueqing lowered her eyelids and observed her facial expression with the corners of her eyes, "You." ”

Hearing this, her heart trembled, "What do you mean?" ”

"I can cover all the costs of the orphanage's follow-up treatment, but," he paused, and after seeing that she was not unusual, he continued, "I want you to be on call." Whatever I ask you to do, you can't refuse. ”

"How?"

Shi Sheng looked at him with extremely complicated emotions in his eyes, and after a while, he said as if talking to himself: "I will consider it." ”

"Okay."

"I'll send you back?" Gu Yueqing opened the car door, turned around and asked her as soon as he stepped forward.

"No, you don't."

Shi Sheng came out after him, didn't look at him again, lowered his head and left directly.

Gu Yueqing stared at her leaving back for a long time, and only then did she withdraw her gaze until her back disappeared around the corner.

Shi Sheng didn't understand, it was clear that Yan Momo had returned, but Gu Yueqing still had to entangle with himself.

But the dean's illness can't be delayed, what should she do?

"It's your thing! I don't have any money anymore! ”

"I've already let you quit drugs, but you don't listen!"

"Dad, I really don't have any money, I don't have a penny!"

Shi Sheng returned to the dormitory, and as soon as he opened the door, he heard the hysterical voice of Li Guo on the verge of collapse.

She walked lightly to the balcony and stood by the door, roughly understanding what was going on.

Rigo's father was a gambler, and over the years, Rigo and Rixi have paid a lot for this gambler father.

Every once in a while, Li's father would ask Li Guo for money, and many times when she woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, she could hear the sobbing sound coming from Li Guo's room.

She crept over to Rigo's room and placed the bank card on the table.

Shi Sheng is very grateful to Li Guo for her generosity and charcoal, which is why she can't be so selfish.

After returning to his room, Shi Sheng sat on the edge of the bed and stared at the phone number that had been entered on the phone screen.

Maybe it's an abyss from now on, or maybe six years ago, she was already struggling in the whirlpool.

She pressed "send", looked at the text message prompt showing "sent successful", and finally collapsed on the bed weakly.

"I agree."

It's just three words, like exhausting the strength of her life.

The cool of early autumn seemed to seep into the city unconsciously, Shi Sheng walked into the Huating Apartment, and the flower bed in front of the building was covered with a layer of fallen leaves.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, when she was about to fall asleep, she received a message from Gu Yueqing and asked her to come over immediately.

She didn't have time to think, so she simply packed up and took a taxi.

Before seeing Gu Yueqing who opened the door, her heart was still uneasy. On the way here, I couldn't help but look around, for fear of encountering Yan Momo in this vicinity.

She even imagined a lot of explanations if she was encountered.

"Come in."

A hoarse, dry voice interrupted her thoughts.

Shi Sheng turned around and closed the door and followed behind Gu Yueqing.

"What's wrong with you?"

Gu Yueqing sat on the gray sofa, his head resting on the back of the sofa, his eyes closed, his sword eyebrows furrowed, and his cheeks flushed with an unnatural crimson.

She leaned forward, put her hand on his forehead and probed the temperature, then checked her own temperature. She frowned, "You have a fever." ”

"Hmm." He lifted his eyelids slightly, and when he saw her worried eyes, he felt a hint of joy.

Gu Yueqing stretched out his hand and wanted to take her into his arms, but she pushed her away, he sat up straight and glared at her dissatisfied.

"I'll help you to bed." Shi Sheng turned a blind eye to his dissatisfaction, stood up and supported one side of his body, "Get up." ”

Gu Yueqing admired her little face flushed with exertion with interest, and only after a while did she move her steps cooperatively.

"You lie down first, and I'll find out if there is any medicine at home." After Shi Sheng covered him with the quilt, he didn't ask him if he had fever medicine at home, and went straight out of the room.

Because she knew, Gu Yueqing would not know what medicine was in the medicine box at all. After living together for three years, she prepared all the medicine in his house, and he never took the initiative to find medicine even if he was sick.

After a while, Shi Sheng walked in with a medicine box.

"This is a fever reducer, but it's almost expired."

Gu Yueqing watched her take out a very small medicine box from the medicine box, and immediately frowned after hearing her words.

"I'm going to buy medicine now." As she spoke, she was about to stand up but was pulled by someone, looked down, and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not expired yet."

Shi Sheng sat back on the edge of the bed and stared at his face for a while, "There are still two months to expire, you want to eat this?" ”

"Hmm."

She pursed the corners of her lips, picked up the small medicine box and looked at it for a while, and said, "Let's find out the temperature first, if the temperature is not high, don't eat it." ”

Gu Yueqing calmly watched her aim the ultraviolet heat detector at his forehead, this scene was unusually familiar, making him feel inexplicably reassured.

"It's okay, it's not high." Shi Sheng glanced at the temperature displayed on the screen of the thermometer, and neatly packed the medicine box, "Have you eaten anything at night?"

"Nope."

"I'll pour you a glass of water, you sleep for a while, and I'll make porridge for you."

Really.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, and quietly turned around and walked out of the room with the medicine box in her hand.

When she returned to the room with water and wet towels, Gu Yueqing had already closed her eyes and fell asleep directly with two pillows.

Shi Sheng put the cup on the bedside table, put one hand on his shoulder, and the other hand pulled away one of the pillows he was sleeping.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be sleeping well, two fine lines wrinkled between his brows, he couldn't help but stretch out his hand to gently smooth it, and then put the cold wet towel flat on his forehead.

She crouched beside the bed, watched him carefully for a moment, and then went to the kitchen to make porridge. The moment she turned around, the person lying on the bed opened his eyes and stared at her back.
