Qiao Sisi’s Fever
When the bright moon hung high in the sky, it was already 10 PM.
By this ti, most employees had left for ho, with no one working overti.
Although they were in the live streaming industry, Fang Zhou never demanded his employees to stay up late.
Having experienced the pain of losing family mbers to illness, no one understood the importance of health better than Fang Zhou.
So, even as a boss, he wouldn’t exploit his employees.
Each person had a family behind them. If they fell, their family would be nearly destroyed.
The employees saw the office door still open and decided to check in, only to find Fang Zhou still sitting in front of his computer, seemingly working on sothing.
“Ti to go ho, Brother Zhou. Don’t stay too late!”
“We’re leaving, Brother Zhou. You’re still here? You’re making us feel guilty with your hard work!”
“How about I stay with you? It feels wrong to leave you alone here.”
Fang Zhou looked up from his files, shook his head, and told them.
“No need, you guys go ahead. I’ll be leaving soon.”
As for Su Yang and Li Siming, they had already left at the usual ti of 6 PM.
“Alright, we’re off then. Don’t forget to lock up, Brother Zhou!”
In the end, Fang Zhou was the only one left in the entire company.
Just as he lowered his head to refocus on his work, his phone rang.
Seeing it was Qin Yun calling, he answered, and her gentle voice asked, “Why aren’t you ho yet?”
Qin Yun’s voice was soft and warm, carrying a deep emotional connection, making one feel her inner reliance and trust in him.
This reliance wasn’t just superficial but a deep, heartfelt emotional support.
Their communication naturally exuded a sense of mutual understanding and familiarity, like an old married couple.
Their conversation flowed smoothly, without any awkwardness or unfamiliarity.
Every word was filled with tenderness and affection, revealing the deep bond between them.
Anyone overhearing would find it very heartwarming.
Fang Zhou smiled, flipped through the file in his hand, and seriously told Qin Yun.
“About half an hour more. I’ll be ho soon. You should rest; don’t wait for .”
Qin Yun was silent for a mont, then Fang Zhou heard her softly say, “I won’t sleep. I’ll wait for you.”
Fang Zhou opened his mouth to persuade her, but Qin Yun continued.
“Besides, I have so surgery files for tomorrow to review.”
With the conversation at this point, Fang Zhou didn’t try to persuade her further.
He nodded, indicating he would return soon, and hung up the phone.
Just as he was about to turn off his phone, he noticed an alert from the surveillance app installed on it.
Opening it, he saw a familiar figure on the ho surveillance.
Long hair, wearing a hat and mask, revealing a delicate chin. Even with just this outline, Fang Zhou recognized her.
It was Qiao Sisi.
This wasn’t the first ti such a scene had occurred.
Previously, Qiao Sisi had also curled up at his doorstep.
Fang Zhou couldn’t quite describe his feelings.
He wasn’t indifferent to everyone.
But the conversation with Qin Yun clearly reminded him that he was now Qin Yun’s boyfriend and couldn’t get involved with other won.
Moreover, as an adult, Qiao Sisi should be responsible for her actions.
If she was using a pity tactic to force him to interact with her, should Fang Zhou be coerced?
That was impossible.
Fang Zhou always considered himself a pessimist, preferring to think negatively and anticipate all possibilities.
He would then assess if he could handle the consequences before taking action.
If he secretly interacted with another ex-girlfriend and angered Qin Yun, what if she refused to contact the patient’s family for a kidney donation for his sister?
The consequences would be unimaginable.
He didn’t know if others would do this, but Qin Yun likely would.
So he had to eliminate this possibility. Fang Zhou expressionlessly swiped away the alert, deleted it, and put down his phone as if nothing had happened.
Recently, he hadn’t returned to either of his hos.
One reason was Qin Yun’s request for them to live together.
The other was that Fang Zhou didn’t want to privately interact with his ex-girlfriends anymore.
He hoped Qiao Sisi would take the hint and leave.
Fang Zhou looked out the window, seeing the endless darkness outside, like a lurking beast.
Only the high-hanging moon guided the way forward.
He felt a bit dazed.
Probably, besides Qiao Sisi, the others were also looking for him.
Oh well, deal with it as it cos.
Life always had priorities waiting to be handled.
Call him selfish or cruel, he was just a brother wanting his sister to live well.
Qiao Sisi, seen in the surveillance, didn’t take the hint.
She curled up at the door, hugging herself, her eyes blankly staring at her shoes.
This was her hard-earned vacation.
The crew was having a celebration banquet tonight.
She should have been under the spotlight, eating delicacies, drinking expensive wine, toasting and celebrating.
But Qiao Sisi didn’t go. She had Zhu Jie attend on her behalf and sneaked out.
She knocked on the door for a long ti with no response, only disturbing the neighbor.
The neighbor, a girl in a camisole nightgown with ssy hair, probably about to sleep, ca out to check the noise.
Her tone wasn’t friendly, full of resentnt, “Can you stop knocking? The guy next door hasn’t been ho for days. I haven’t seen him open the door.
If you’re looking for soone, can’t you call first?”
Qiao Sisi’s expression froze for a mont. She lowered her hat brim and apologized to the neighbor.
Then she curled up by the door, not planning to leave.
Seeing this, the girl felt a bit sorry for her and couldn’t help but advise, “It’s late. He won’t co back tonight. You should go ho and rest.
Though our apartnt security is decent, it’s not safe for a girl to be out alone.”
Qiao Sisi slightly lifted the corner of her mouth, shook her head, and whispered, “I won’t leave. He’ll see .”
“Sigh, whatever.”
The girl sighed, feeling she was ddling, and slamd the door shut.
So Qiao Sisi sat there until dawn.
When the neighbor opened her door to go to work, she was surprised to see Qiao Sisi still there.
“Hey, you’re still here? Did you wait all night?”
But there was no response.
The girl in the baseball cap still hung her head, unresponsive.
The scene was sowhat frightening.
The girl took a few steps forward to check on Qiao Sisi, only to find her eyes open.
But her eyes were bloodshot, with dark circles and a flushed face, revealing her condition.
As she was about to speak, she saw the sitting girl tilt her head, close her eyes, and fall to the side.
“Hey... you!”
She quickly stepped forward to catch Qiao Sisi.
Accidentally touching her cheek, she found it burning hot.
This temperature was clearly wrong!
“You’re burning up. I’ll take you to the hospital!”
“No... I won’t go... I have to wait for him.”
Qiao Sisi’s voice was faint, like a mosquito, but clear enough to be heard.
“Oh, co on! Waiting while burning up is dangerous!”
The girl was anxious, trying to persuade Qiao Sisi.
“I’ll call him for you. Let’s go to the hospital first, okay?”
Qiao Sisi shook her head, her eyes filled with despair.
“He blocked . I can’t reach him.”
No one could understand this pain.
It was like being abandoned in darkness forever, unable to climb out.
Even the light that once shone into her life was disappearing forever.
