Chapter 56·Lost Whale

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Qi Zhixuan and Sister Rong moved a few boxes of goods into the store together. Both of them were sweating profusely. Fortunately, the store had already turned on the air conditioner, so it felt more comfortable after entering.

Qi Zhixuan drank several cups of tea enthusiastically, looked at the time and said, “Sister Rong, go pick up Dundun. I’m watching from the store. It’s okay.” Sister Rong’s son Dundun accidentally broke his leg some time ago and had to be picked up and dropped off at school. Seeing that it was almost noon, he urged Sister Rong to leave quickly.

“Hey, okay, I’ll go and be back soon. Boss, just wait until I come back to clean up the goods.” Sister Rong was very grateful to Qi Zhixuan. She was a single mother, so she had to be a bit verbose about her children. But Qi Zhixuan was a very nice person. Usually, when her children were sick or there were school activities, they would just let them go.

Qi Zhixuan looked at her hurried away figure and had an idea in his mind. He planned to go back to school in the second half of the year and wanted to find a reliable person to take care of the store. He thought Sister Rong was very good. She was hard-working and careful and down-to-earth. Maybe it would be good to invite her to visit the store.

But that was all for later, for now he needed to deal with his growling stomach.

After turning on his mobile phone and ordering a McDonald’s, Qi Zhixuan was bored and waiting for delivery. Usually he would go to the school to eat with Pang Jing in the cafeteria when he had time, but recently Dundun was injured and Sister Rong had to pick someone up. He had to stay and visit the store at noon. Pang Jing didn’t know what he was busy with. He didn’t come to see him for a long time. After careful calculation, he hadn’t seen anyone for more than half a month.

But today was Friday, and he didn’t know if he would come tomorrow. He hesitated for a moment, then picked up his phone and sent Pang Whale a WeChat message.

Little painter: “Will you go home tomorrow?”

Not long after the message was sent, I received a reply.

: “I won’t go back. I have to review at school and have an exam next week.”

Little painter: “Okay.”

Qi Zhixuan sighed. He said last week that he had to study for the exam and he didn’t come back. He was obviously a few hundred meters apart and it was like a long-distance relationship. Are college students nowadays so miserable? They don’t even have time to fall in love.

The takeout was delivered quickly. He opened the package and took two bites of the burger dejectedly. He felt so congested that he really had no appetite.He simply put down his takeout, picked up his tablet, and started drawing his little whale cartoon.

Now his little whale comics have begun to be serialized. The little whale he wrote has grown up, but was accidentally separated from the group during a migration.As an immature individual, wandering alone in the vast sea is full of dangers. It has also been chased by killer whales and hit by ships. It has been bumpy all the way…

Qi Zhixuan quickly sketched out the storyboards of a few episodes, laid out the background, and carefully polished the details before posting the new content to his account.

After posting, he checked his phone for a while. Some fans praised him in the background. He looked through it for a while and found an ID he was not familiar with. It should be lunch break now and he wondered if Pang Whale could check his own status.

Touching the little whale fighting against the wind and waves on the screen, Qi Zhixuan sighed and turned around to sort out the goods he had just moved in. But every time he finished sorting something, he wanted to look at his phone, but until everything was sorted, he still didn’t see the person who wanted to see it praised him.

Maybe he is really busy, Qi Zhixuan thought, after all, Pang Jing would like him as soon as he saw it. He had also seen Pang Jing save the comics he drew in the album. In fact, he really liked this kind of tacit little interaction. Although everyone could see it and like it, it was a little secret that only belonged to them.

But now… He patted his cheek, trying to wake himself up.How old are you, and you are still engaging in this kind of drama about a girl’s pregnancy? People are busy with studies and have no time. So what if they don’t like it or only rarely see it? Why do I care so much?

Sometimes Qi Zhixuan feels that his love brain is really serious. As he gets older, his brain has not improved. Everyone has their own things to be busy with. He really wants to kneel down and beg himself to stop being so clingy.

In order to dilute his irrational thoughts, he decided to get to work!

Zhu Mingyue understood that he was in Beijing and did not arrange very heavy work for him. However, he put too many core ideas into the preliminary plan of the “Wind, Rain and Clear” project, so although there were few things to actually do, there were many problems that required communication and docking.

He would find a time to answer questions every day. Now that he had nothing to do, he communicated with the group and prepared to hold a small meeting with everyone.

This little meeting lasted for two hours. Sister Rong came back and wiped the shelves once and mopped the floor twice before he ended it in a hurry.

With his throat so dry that it was about to smoke, Qi Zhixuan just hung up the phone and picked up the water glass and took a few sips when Zhu Mingyue’s call came in.

“Senior sister.” Qi Zhixuan answered the phone, his voice a little hoarse.

“Hey, Teacher Qi, you are so dedicated that your voice is hoarse.” Zhu Mingyue listened to his Q&A for a while today and couldn’t help but joke, “No one has any questions, but you still ask, ‘Do you have anything to add?’ With this level of dedication, people who don’t know would think I’m exploiting my employees.”

“So you are calling me to give me a raise? Madam Zhu.” Qi Zhixuan drank two more sips of warm water, and the dryness of his throat was slightly relieved.

“What the hell, Ms. Zhu wants to ask you, is it your birthday next week?”

Birthday… Qi Zhixuan looked at his phone and saw that it was indeed coming soon. Today is the 13th and next Sunday will be the 22nd.

In fact, he hasn’t celebrated his birthday very much since his parents passed away. At that time, the days were all a blur, let alone birthdays. It has been five or six years.

“I don’t know yet, maybe… invite a friend to dinner.” If Zhu Mingyue hadn’t mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.

“Tsk, that’s really boring.” Zhu Mingyue curled her lips, “You really don’t need your sister to throw a party for you? How lively it is.”

“No, no, senior sister, don’t do that.” When it came to the party, Qi Zhixuan quickly refused.

He couldn’t bear Zhu Mingyue’s party. On her birthday, she said that she didn’t want to get married in the future and would have a big life when she was thirty, so she booked a hotel on the first floor to hold a special party. The party lasted until five o’clock in the morning. He woke up in the hotel and they ended it. When he took Zhu Mingyue home, he was so drunk that he wanted to sing Little Jumping Frog on the street. Looking back, it was really a nightmare.

“Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you.” Zhu Mingyue really wanted to set a few tables for him. She finally got better after being ill for several years. Isn’t this worth a meal?But her brother was so reserved, and there was nothing Zhu Mingyue could do about it.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Zhixuan really thought about the treat.He was not familiar with restaurants in Beijing, and was about to ask Songsong if he had any recommendations, but his phone rang first. It was a call from the technician who handled the hard drive cracking, saying that the hard drive without a password had finally been unlocked. When checking the files, he found the video clip he had been looking for.

Qi Zhixuan stood up straight, his heart beating wildly. He felt as if the rope that had been binding him was loosening. It seemed that he… could finally take a good breath.

He immediately told Lawyer Yin the news. Lawyer Yin was a good friend of his father Zimmer during his lifetime. When his father was rumored, he handled all the subsequent traffic accident cases single-handedly. Everything was done properly. Qi Zhixuan trusted him very much.

Back then, Zimmer also consulted Lawyer Yin about the possibility of filing a case against Qi Zhixuan, but the evidence was insufficient and he had no choice but to give up in the end.Unexpectedly, after so many years, this key evidence could actually be found.

“Xiao Qi, to be on the safe side, you should take the evidence into your own hands first and keep it. I will start preparations here and we will file a lawsuit as soon as possible.” Lawyer Yin’s voice came from the phone and explained some pre-case preparations in detail, explaining one by one. Lawyer Yin’s voice was very soft, but it sounded like a roar in Qi Zhixuan’s ears.

Qi Zhixuan took the pen and carefully wrote down each item, his fingers trembling slightly.

After hanging up the phone, he froze in place, unable to tell whether he was dreaming or awake for a moment. He raised his left hand, and the ferocious scars on his wrists covered his pulse, beating gently with his heartbeat. They were the imprints engraved in his life, always reminding him that the hurt he had suffered was real, the pain of being slandered was real, and now, he finally had the chance to fight back, and it was also real.

Pang Jing was not looking for Qi Zhixuan on weekends. He was bored at home and had no energy to draw, so he had to come to the shop and sit and pass the time. It was a hot day and the afternoon sun shone in through the glass window. As he sat, his eyelids began to grow heavy and he gradually fell into a state of half-dream and half-awake.

“Boss Qi.”

He tapped his index finger lightly on the glass counter, and a call woke him up.

“Huh!?” Qi Zhixuan looked up in surprise and saw two identical faces appearing in front of him.

“Huh?!” Qi Zhixuan suddenly raised his head, and suddenly two identical faces appeared in his sight, and he suddenly woke up, “Jing…Jing Yao?” He rubbed his eyes to confirm that it was the twin brothers, “Are you here to buy something?”

“Yes, buy some paint.” Jing Yao said and went straight to the shelf, “I have an exhibition to attend recently. I only accept hand-painted paintings. I don’t have enough materials.” Qi Zhixuan knew that he was obsessed with art design. Without further introduction, he let him choose by himself. He turned around and poured a glass of cold water for Jing He who was waiting aside.

“Thank you.” Jing He took the cup, took a sip, then turned around naturally and raised his hand to feed his brother who was picking the goods.Qi Zhixuan had just poured the second cup and wanted to send it over. When he saw this, he had to take back his hand with a smile and drink it himself.

“Okay, that’s it.” After picking for a while, Jing Yao brought a bunch of things to check out. Qi Zhixuan skillfully scanned the QR code to calculate the price, giving them a 30% discount.

“Wow! Thank you, Boss Qi~ Boss Qi is the most handsome~” Jing Yao coaxed sweetly, not forgetting to scold his good roommate, “It’s true that Pang Jing was in the dormitory over the weekend and didn’t even know he was here to help you. I will definitely scold him for you later!”

Qi Zhixuan smiled, and while putting things into the bag, he asked Jing He casually: “Do you have a lot of exams in your major recently?”

Jing He was helping Qi Zhixuan pack things when he heard this and said a little strangely, “No, we won’t take the exam until next month.”

“Oh, that’s it.” Qi Zhixuan paused for a moment, then handed the bag over as if nothing had happened, “Everything is here, come back if you need it.”

After sending the brothers away, the store became quiet again.Qi Zhixuan leaned back in his chair, but there was a murmur in his heart. There was no exam, so the review mentioned by Pang Jing was an excuse?In the past, even if he was busy with classes and training, he would squeeze in time to come to the store to see him at noon, but now it is obviously his break time, and it is even harder to meet him.

This is obviously hiding from him, but why is this happening and what is Pang Whale thinking?

Qi Zhixuan turned over and over again and couldn’t figure it out. He was so confused that he decided to find an opportunity to have a good chat with Pang Jing.

But after several attempts to date Pang Jing, he was blocked by him for various reasons, which made Qi Zhixuan feel a little anxious. He really didn’t know what Pang Jing wanted to do, and why he was still addicted to hiding.

Fortunately, Qi Zhixuan’s birthday was coming in a few days. He invited Pang Jing and his roommates, as well as brother and sister Chen Runsong and Jiang Xianfan to attend his birthday party. This person had not lost his mind. He knew that he still had to attend his boyfriend’s birthday. Qi Zhixuan wanted to take this opportunity to have a good communication between the two of them.
