Chapter 440: Lost Soul

And Zhou Qi was very busy, and every time he called back, it was already one or two o'clock in the morning, and the two of them had to hang up in a hurry before they could say a few words. If you call back in advance, it must be on your way to the airport.

It's been a week since Zhou Qi came back, his eyebrows and eyes were full of tiredness, he had been on the plane for too long, his waist was about to be scrapped, and the first thing he called Jian Yi on the way was to tell her that he was going home to take a bath. It's strange that he used to come over like this, once set a record of flying for three months, but now he is hypocritical.

In the evening, the two sat down to eat together, and Zhou Qi, who was relaxed, began to ask the old lady when they would come back. There are still more than 20 days to go before the New Year, and they should come back.

Jian Yi said that the old lady said that she would pick it up next week. Zhou Qiqi nodded and stopped talking.

If there are no emergencies, this business trip should be the last business trip of the year. Although his schedule is still full, he can go home every day.

Jian Yi has been suffering from insomnia for the past few days, snuggled in his arms this night, and she fell asleep before he could reply to his email.

Zhou Qi smiled, gently tucked the corner of her back, then turned off the lamp, and then continued to reply to the email.

Before leaving the house this morning, Zhou Qi suddenly asked, "There is a party in the evening, you can go with me." ”

He said it very casually, but Jian Yi was stunned, she never wanted to attend that kind of occasion, and prevaricated: "I won't go, well, it's not appropriate." ”

Zhou Qi looked at her with a smile and asked, "Why is it not suitable?" ”

"What's the matter of your company, what is it for me to be an outsider? Besides, I'm really not good at socializing. Jane tried to make excuses.

"Not good at socializing? What were you when you were with Luo Yu before? ”

Jian Yi was dumbfounded, still making a final struggle, and said, "I don't have the right clothes." ”

"I'll have someone send it later." Zhou Qi couldn't help but smile when she saw that she was still reluctant, and said, "Take it easy, don't look like you're facing a big enemy, but just go over and show your face." ”

He knew how to appease Jian Yi, touched her cheek lightly, and then went out.

Sure enough, someone sent a dress over later, Zhou Qi's eyes were poisonous and picky, and the dress she chose for Jian Yi was more suitable than the one she chose herself.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, a driver came to pick up Jian Yi and sent her to Zhou Qi's company to meet him, and then the two went to the hotel together.

After crawling and rolling in the bloody wind and rain of the workplace, she has already developed her face, she is not stage frightened, she is like a vase holding Zhou Qi's arm and shuttling through the field, accepting flattering envy or jealous eyes. It's just that Zhou Qi came for business, which is inevitably boring for her.

Seeing him talking with others halfway through and not ending for the time being, Jane told him in a low voice that he was going to the bathroom, and then went to the bathroom.

She touched up her makeup in the bathroom, took a long breath, and walked outside. Halfway down the hallway, I found a glass door next to it and a small garden outside.

Worried that Zhou Qi would find her, although she wanted to breathe, she had no intention of going out. Just as he was about to go to the hall, he saw a person with a mobile phone and a phone caller appeared in front of him. At this glance, Jian Yi's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, and the person who was holding a mobile phone to make a phone call, his side face looked very much like Peng Tongyuan.

She didn't even dare to move, afraid that in the blink of an eye, the man would disappear in front of her. Knowing that it was just an image, Peng Tongyuan couldn't come back, but she still wet her eyes.

When Zhou Qi came over, Jian Yi was still standing in front of the glass door, and the person who called was nowhere to be seen. Seeing her staring blankly outside, he followed her line of sight and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

He was keenly aware of her low mood.

Jian Yi came back to his senses at this time, shook his head, and said, "I didn't do anything, let's go." ”

She was disguised as before, but Zhou Qi still sensed that something was wrong with her. The two stood in advance, and after getting into the car, they leaned on each other and did not speak.

Zhou Qi reached out and touched her head and asked, "What's wrong?" The soul is not lost. ”

Jian Yi looked at the light in front of him blankly, and said after a while: "I saw a person just now, very similar to Peng Tongyuan." ”

Zhou Qi couldn't help but be stunned at this moment, of course he also knew that it was just an image, he reached out and held Jian Yi's hand, and asked, "Did you say hello?" ”

Jian Yi shook his head and said no. She didn't dare to step forward, for fear of destroying the illusion in her heart. She hoped that he was still alive and well in some corner of this world, even if he didn't want to see him again.

Zhou Qi took her into his arms, and the two hugged each other quietly in the car. After a long while, Jian Yi regained his strength and said, "Let's go, go back." ”

She was not in high spirits that night, and was silent most of the time when she returned home. Zhou Qi didn't bother her, giving her space to stay alone. Luckily, the next day things were back to normal, and she didn't talk about last night.

Knowing that she was busy at the end of the year, the old lady didn't allow Jian Yi and Zhou Qi to pick her up, just let the driver go over. She and Aunt Qing have never been idle, and on the first night they came back, they made a big table of sumptuous meals, and Zhou Qi pushed the party back, and when he was late to the braised lion head that he was thinking about, he praised Aunt Qing's craftsmanship again and again.

The old lady said distressedly that he and Jian Yi were both cured, so that the two of them should cook and eat well at home, nothing is more important than eating, if the body collapses, nothing can be done.

Zhou Qi said yes again and again. He coaxed the old lady to smile, the corners of Jian Yi's mouth couldn't help but rise, and he quietly went to the study after cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks.

It was very early this week, and when she returned to the room at ten o'clock, he had already washed up and was lying on the bed. She said in surprise why it was so early today, and Zhou Qi didn't answer, and rushed her to take a bath.

Lying on the bed later, Zhou Qi casually flipped through the financial magazines in his hand and asked, "How are you going to spend the Chinese New Year this year?" ”

Jian Yi's mind was confused, and said: "That's it, I'll go to buy New Year's goods in a few days, well, let grandma and Aunt Qing make a list, and I'll buy them all at once." ”

This answer was obviously not what Zhou Qi wanted, he closed the magazine in his hand and said, "Your father called and said that he wanted to come over this year to join us for the New Year." ”

In the past few years, the Song family has never gathered for the New Year.

Zhou Qi touched her head and said softly, "The old lady hesitated because she was worried that you would be unhappy, so she didn't come down." But there is no old man who doesn't want to be reunited. Ah Yi, the old lady is getting older and older, and the time spent with her children and grandchildren will only become less and less. ”
