Chapter 31: Whether I’ve done well as a husband, only you are qualified to say(3)
He Yu watched Su Qiuzi walk with her backpack, trotting over and quickly blending into the crowd.
Watching his wife’s back, He Yu recalled the last words of his mother when he spoke with her on the phone at noon.
She was just a fledgling student who knew nothing and had done nothing wrong.
The driver saw He Yu absent-mindedly staring at the White Stallion Building from the car mirror. In this place they could not park for a long time, so he called out politely, “President He…”
He Yu’s eyes twitched slightly. After returning to his senses, he said faintly, “Let’s go.”
Su Qiuzi entered the White Stallion Building and got on the elevator. She barely crossed the threshold when a man called out muffledly “Hold on a second.” and asked her to wait a moment. Su Qiuzi pressed the hold button in the elevator and the man walked in.
Even though he was wearing a mask, Su Qiuzi recognized her boss at a first glance. Su Qiuzi was a little sorry for not coming to work in the morning, and coyly smiled at her boss. Guan Lin, who was over 180 cm tall, saw her smiling like that and gave her an annoyed glance. “What is it?”
His voice was a bit dull when he spoke before, but now that he was closer, it sounded a bit hoarse. Su Qiuzi looked at the mask he was wearing and asked with concern, “Boss, are you alright?”
“I caught a cold from my girlfriend.” Guan Lin spoke up without much emotion. His throat itched a bit and he refrained from coughing.
“Then why don’t you rest at home?” Su Qiuzi asked.
Guan Lin’s head felt a little dizzy. He leaned against the elevator and said, “A teacher from the middle school came over to talk about cooperation and said he wanted to do some kind of club activity and borrow some space.”
In fact, relatively speaking, Guan Lin’s pottery house didn’t charge much, but it was quite profitable. Business here was brimming from Monday to Sunday. Recently, he intended to take down the soon-to-be-closed instant noodle canteen next door to open up the premises of the pottery house, which would definitely be more profitable for him.
In fact, some of the rich second generation were not pretentious people. They received the best education from childhood, in addition to certain social connections from their parents, so whatever they did ended up being successful.
Thinking about this, Su Qiuzi thought of He Yu. Meanwhile, there were people constantly coming into the elevator, and Su Qiuzi was squeezed into Guan Lin’s side.
Guan Lin wrinkled his brow and said to Su Qiuzi, “Stay away from me, don’t get infected. It’s not good to catch a cold.”
Boss, this is in an elevator, you can’t leave even if you want to.
Su Qiuzi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. But on the surface, she still couldn’t resent her boss. She moved her body to the side and said, “I have a very strong physique and am not afraid of infections. I used to catch the flu when I was in college. There was a moment when the whole class got a cold and I was the only one left uninfected.”
After hearing her talk, Guan Lin glanced at her and reminded her, “Don’t be overconfident.”
As it turned out, she really shouldn’t have gotten over confident, because on that afternoon the only confidence left in her body went down.
Su Qiuzi went to work until nine o’clock in the evening and when she got home, He Yu had not returned yet. Her throat felt a little itchy and her head was a little dull, so after draining two bottles of water, she took a shower and went to bed.
She had a dream about swimming in her own pool. The water in the pool was comfortable at first, but then it got hotter and hotter, so hot that she was about to pass out. She struggled to get out, but her body kept sinking and she panicked, arms flailing about. Until she finally clutched a lukewarm object.
Su Qiuzi let out a light breath, feeling the heat burning her body, and she grabbed the object. She hugged it and pressed her cheek to it gently.
Just as she was about to pass out, she heard a soft sigh. The warm, cool thing left her chest, caressed her face, and finally rested on her forehead.
“How could your body be this hot?”
Looking down at Su Qiuzi’s slightly red face, He Yu took his hand away from his wife’s forehead and, putting strength into his arms, he picked her up from the bed.
