After sending his wife to the factory pick-up point, Fang Xiaogang went to work. She arrived at the office very early today and couldn't even enter the office.
When he was bored, he opened his phone to check his WeChat Moments and found that Lu Lu, who had added him last night, had sent a message in the middle of the night: It was his first time being a designated driver. There were two pictures attached to the text. One was a Tesla steering wheel, and the other was a carefully edited selfie. It even included Fang Xiaogang's side profile as he looked out the window.
After eight o'clock, the door was automatically activated, and he could finally enter. Hi, are you up?
When it was almost 8:30 pm, he received Shirley's reply. Boss, I'm almost there."
Shirley arrived at the office a little past 8:30. She was still wearing the same back-revealing dress from yesterday. However, her complexion was much worse than yesterday, and the way she walked was a little strange.
Fang Xiaogang was shocked when he saw her and stood up to help her sit down. She raised her hand to stop him and carefully sat down on her seat.
"Uh, have you had breakfast?" He stood in front of her desk and asked with concern.
"Yes, the hotel has a buffet breakfast. I ate some.”she said.
"Alright, do you want me to make you a cup of coffee?”he asked again.
" No need, boss. That's a smyjob."
"You look terrible today. Are you feeling unwell?”he asked.
"There's no makeup in the hotel. I…I'm fine.”she said weakly.
He hesitated for a moment and said,"Why don't you go back and rest for a day?"”
"Then what are you going to do about this car company credit CASE?”she asked.
"I have a general direction. I can give you a plan according to your method in the morning.”
"But economics is a kind of mathematics. There are many formulas that you haven't mastered yet.”she said.
"It's fine. God's will is better than man's. Small things listen to your head, big things listen to your heart. As long as I give my opinion with my heart, I believe that the accuracy of the result calculated by the formula might not be lower.”he said.
"I didn't expect you to know about this." Shirley laughed. Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Do you mean the literal meaning or your personal understanding?”he asked.
"Then tell me your understanding." She smiled and looked up.
"My understanding is that you can analyze simple things and get the results. For especially difficult and complicated things, you can only get the results based on your general feelings. Due to some comprehensive measurements and judgments, it was impossible for one to say everything out loud. However, the brain would still receive every piece of information and store it in the database or subconscious. It would already analyze it for you subconsciously. It was just like how some people would feel fear before getting married. It must be because they subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with their partner. In fact, the greater the fear before marriage, the higher the possibility of divorce.”He sat on her desk and said.
Unconsciously, Shirley reached out to shake his hand and listened to him. Then, she smiled and asked,"Then, when you got married, did you have any fear?”
"No," he shook his head,"I was quite at ease at that time."”
Her smile widened as she said,"Don't you know that women are petty? Aren't you afraid that I'll be jealous?”
"I'm afraid, that's why I'm telling you my true thoughts.”he said seriously and gently.
"Don't worry, it's not that serious." She bent down and laughed.
Just as Fang Xiao was feeling a little awkward, Xue Li bent over and inhaled sharply, frowning without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"My stomach hurts." she said weakly.
"Do you want to go home to rest or go to the hospital?”he asked.
"Isn't the air conditioner in this office a little cold?”she said.
"Don't tell me you have a fever." He went forward and touched her forehead. He felt that the temperature was not very obvious.
"It's not that serious, right?"
He looked at her expression and felt guilty. He said,"Let's go. I'll send you back. Your health is more important.”
Xue Li did not insist and agreed. Before she left, she had to go to the toilet. She realized that her period, which was about to end, had bled a lot again. She had no choice but to take a night-use type and put it on.
Fang Xiaogang went to the front desk and asked who to call for leave. She said it was Sophia, the HR manager. She ran to Sofia's office to explain the situation. She adjusted her glasses and said,""It's okay. You don't have to ask for leave from me. The branch company doesn't check your attendance with Miss Jin. Of course, you have to rest when you're sick. Don't worry.”
Ignoring his colleagues 'gazes, he helped Shirley out of the company.
When she returned to Shirley's place, it was not much different from the night before. The bed had been made, and her big Rimowa box had been taken back.
In front of Fang Xiaogang, Xue Li changed into her loose pajamas and lay on the bed to rest. Her body temperature had obviously risen a little after such a short journey. It was obvious that she really had a fever.
He boiled some hot water for her and placed it on the bedside table. There was a shortage of daily necessities here and many things needed to be bought. "Where are your keys? I'll go buy you some daily necessities."”
"There's a spare key on the wall by the door. I'll leave it with you in the future." Shirley nodded.”
He nodded and left. He hung her keys on his own keychain. At this moment, he really felt like he had a mistress.
He went to the supermarket and bought a lot of things, mainly ginger and brown sugar. Remembering that she didn't know how to cook, he suddenly wanted to help her cook in the future. He bought all the rice, oil, and salt.
He rushed back to Xue Li's house. She had already fallen asleep. He put down his things and tidied up. He touched her forehead and felt that her temperature had risen a little.
After a while, Shirley woke up and he asked her how she was feeling.
"Cold, uncomfortable, no strength." she said.
"Yes, it came so suddenly. It might be infected with bacteria.”he said.
Shirley looked at him with a straight face." I can guess where the infection is.”
He smiled and said,"I can't help it…" He felt awkward for a moment before he stopped smiling and said,""Then what should we do? Should we go to the hospital?”
"I don't want to go. Let's rest first.”she said.
"Yes, the increase in body temperature is a defensive action the body makes to kill bacteria. It's not good to go to the hospital to use antibiotics. I'll boil some ginger soup for you first. Drink it and sleep for a while. Can I use your laptop to take a look at the company's CASE?”
" You can use it. The user password is 981004," she said.
"Are you from 1998?" he asked.
"I'm not telling you."
After boiling a bowl of ginger and brown sugar soup for her, she fell asleep again in a daze. He found the company information in her notebook and analyzed the situation of the three companies.
After noon, Fang Xiaogang decided to give a consultant opinion to support the car company's credit request.
At this moment, Shirley woke up again. She felt a little better and sat up on the bed.
He asked her if she was hungry. She said that she was a little hungry, but she didn't have much of an appetite. He went to the kitchen to cook some porridge for her. When the rice was boiling in the rice cooker, he told her about his decision on Case.
She nodded and looked out of the window, thinking about something. She was wearing yellow silk pajamas that reflected light. She sat under the dark blue blanket that Fang Xiao had just picked out, as if she was reminiscing about the past.
Looking at this scene that was as harmonious as a still life painting, Fang Xiaogang felt sleepy and yawned. Xue Li saw this and nodded. She let him have half the bed and said,"You should sleep for a while too."
"The rice cooker is boiling porridge." he said.
"Then let it burn. You didn't sleep for long, so sleep for a while.”
He sat down beside her and touched her forehead. She seemed to be better. She reached under the blanket and felt that it was still quite hot. Shirley pulled the blanket away and gestured for him to lie down.
Fang Xiaogang was a little excited and a little uncomfortable as he began to take off his belt and pants. He carefully sat side by side with her under the blanket, touching her hot but extremely smooth legs slightly.
They looked at each other and laughed. Shirley stretched out her hand and said,"Come, take off your clothes and sleep for a while."”
"No need. I don't feel sleepy at all now.”He shook his head.
The two of them looked at each other for a while. Although Xue Li was sick, she still had a beauty that could make people's hearts flutter.
"I'm just a little old and ugly." Shirley suddenly blurted out softly.
He laughed and said,"Are you regretting it now?”
"A little." As she said that, she leaned her head on his shoulder. Her right hand held his left hand under the blanket and she closed her eyes to rest.
She seemed to be about to fall asleep again, but he was no longer sleepy. His eyes instinctively sneaked a few glances at the gap between the buttons of his pajamas. Until he heard the sound of the rice cooker being completed.
He had no choice but to get out of bed to get some. He also bought meat floss, pickled vegetables, and fermented bean curd from the supermarket. He put them in a small bowl and placed them by the bed. The hot water that he had boiled earlier had turned cold, so he washed some of it into the porridge. It was just right for him to eat it immediately.
"Delicious!" Shirley praised after tasting it. When I was young, I often ate pickled vegetables and fermented bean curd. I haven't tasted them for many years.”
"So you grew up in China too?”
"Of course. Otherwise, how could Mandarin be so good?”Her appetite was much better than hers. After drinking a big bowl of porridge, she fell asleep again in satisfaction.
Fang Shaogang also lay down beside her. This time, they fell asleep together in each other's arms.
After some time, he was woken up by the noise in the room. When he opened his eyes, he saw Shirley walking back to bed from the toilet. Seeing the sweat on her forehead and feeling the moisture in the blanket, she guessed that her fever had subsided.
The sun was already setting in the west. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost time to get off work.
"Ah, I'll submit the car company CASE now.”he remembered.
"Have you finished writing your report?" Xue Li asked.
"The decision has been made, but the report has not been written yet.”he said.
"Then I'll help you write it." She sat up as she spoke.
"Is your body okay?" he asked. She nodded.
The two of them got off the bed together.
Shirley put on her pajama pants and sat down at the coffee table. She began to draft a report on her notebook.
Fang Xiaogang couldn't help, so he had to clean up the room and wash the dishes. After she was done, she sat on the sofa with Shirley and watched her draft the document.
The environment affected one's mentality. When they were in the office, they only thought about work. However, when they saw Shirley in her pajamas, they couldn't help but think about it and always wanted to hug her waist.
The report this time was relatively concise. It didn't explain the reasons, comparisons, and calculations in detail. Shirley directly submitted her approval of the credit in writing. Perhaps it was because of his poor physical condition, the report only made optimistic expectations for the prospects of the next generation of car companies 'products, and basically did not analyze the problems of the banks. The report was sent to CEO Feng's email and a copy was sent to CEO Ma.
When she pressed the button to send the email, Fang Xiaogang suddenly pulled her into his arms, lifted her chin, and kissed her.
In a hurry, she only had time to let go of the mouse before her vision turned black. When the kiss ended, she was afraid that he would take another step forward, so she raised her hand to block him.
He smiled and said,"Don't worry, I'm leaving."”
Shirley blinked and thought for a moment. She stood up from his arms and said,""Wait a minute." She went to the cabinet and took out a shopping bag."Who did you buy the black dress for last time? Don't forget."
"Oh, I almost forgot again."”He took the bag and pondered over her words. He smiled and said,"It's for my wife."
"Yes, yes, yes. A loving couple." She said,"Then you should go back early today. It's been a few days since you got off work on time."”
"If you're not feeling well or your temperature is rising again, give me a call.”he said.
"I can take care of myself. You can go." She stood there with the intention of sending him off.
"Then I'll be leaving. Bye." When she reached the door, Xue Li saw her to the door. She remembered something and said to her,"By the way, I'll drive the electric car back tonight. I'll give you the Tesla key.”He left the car keys to her.
At six o'clock, when Fang Xiao rode his electric bike back to his house, he bumped into Yang Dan, who had just returned from work. "What about dinner?" he asked her.
"Let's go home and order takeout." she said.
He went home and ordered his wife's favorite Pizza-Hut before letting her try on the dress. This size should be just right for his wife, but it didn't have the ladylike temperament when Shirley wore it.
Yang Dan was still slightly satisfied, but she was not very happy. She nodded and said,"The ones I bought this time are not bad."
"Was the one I bought before not good enough?"
"The ones from the past really can't. You bought this from the mall, right? You used to buy it from Taobao.”
"So what if it's Taobao? You're just biased.”
"It doesn't make sense to you." His wife put away her dress and sat on the sofa to look at her phone.
After the takeout arrived, the two of them took their own food and ate in their own rooms. Fang Xiao had just turned on his computer when a WeChat voice call request popped up on his phone. He looked at his phone and saw that it was Lulu.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Are you busy? Mr. Fang."
"I'm not busy. What's up?" he asked
"If you're not busy, can you come and watch my live broadcast and help me increase my popularity?”She laughed as she spoke.
"Live broadcast? I don't read that kind of stuff."
"Oh, it's on TikTok. You definitely have it. I've sent you the link. Just come in and take a look. I don't need you to give me a gift.”She was very friendly.
"Alright, let me take a look." He agreed helplessly.
After hanging up the voice call, there was indeed a link from her in WeChat. She had sent him two messages during the day. They were all emojis, and he didn't know about them.
He clicked on the link and entered. The Lulu in the live broadcast room was so ethereal that he could not tell that she was the same person from last night. Her face was so pale, her chin was so sharp, and her eyes were so big that even her voice could not be recognized. It was like an echo.
He went in with the nickname oxygen and saw that there were about 30 people in the live broadcast room. The one who spoke the most in the subtitles was Jordan, and he was also the one who gave some small gifts.
This person was probably Boss Ma.
