After Hooking Up With The Wrong Cold Professor Chapter 9
byChapter 9
Xia Yize just finished saying that he just came to this city and didn’t even have friends. He didn’t expect that the lie would be exposed so quickly.
His eyes drifted to one side, and he touched the chair with his fingers. When Qi Ge chuckled and was about to turn back, he seized the opportunity and said, “I’m moving.”
Qi Ge looked over and looked like he was making up.
Xia Yize sat upright and straightened his chest, and said confidently: “When I first came here, I rented a house in Jingyuan Haoting. Later, I couldn’t pay the rent, so I moved to a cheaper one.”
“Then do you still have money to take care of a kitten? It’s another monthly expense.” Qi Ge seemed to regret it at any time.
Xia Yize turned around and said with a vow: “There is still enough money to raise a kitten. As long as I have something to eat, he will have something to drink. From now on, we are dependent on each other. Even if I live on the street, I will not let him wander.”
Qi Ge was too lazy to listen to his sweet words. Seeing that the infusion tube was dangling with his movements, he frowned and raised his head to signal.
Xia Yize only remembered the needle in his hand when he was reminded. He quickly sat up and turned his body carefully, “Just give it to me, okay?”
Qi Ge really didn’t have time to take care of it. He asked students and colleagues for the past two days, but couldn’t find a suitable person. There were a few people asking online, but when he heard that the little black cat was only three months old and still a little malnourished, he stopped talking.
At least Xia Yize has a strong will and experience in taking care of kittens. Qi Ge said more formally: “Okay, if one day you don’t want to keep it, just send it back to me. If it gets sick, I can pay for the medical expenses, but you can’t abandon it.”
Xia Yize patted his chest and said, “Don’t worry, I will treat it well.” He quickly held on to the bottle and said, “It’s better to choose a day than to hit the sun. Today is the day. After the injection, I will go to your house to pick up the cat.”
“Today?” Qi Ge had no such plan at all and was not satisfied with Xia Yize’s suggestion of coming up with something as soon as possible.
But when he thought about tonight he would have to endure a stuffy nose, clean up the cat’s hair, have a headache that kept him awake, and listen to it meowing in his ears. More importantly, he would have to experiment all day tomorrow, and he wouldn’t worry about the kitten being home alone.
Qi Ge didn’t say anything. Xia Yize thought he had agreed, so he adjusted the speed and said to himself: “I’ll go faster. I’ll pick up the kitten with you. You can send us home. You go to school. It’s just on the way.”
He seemed to have thought very carefully from Qi Ge’s perspective, but in fact he just didn’t want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get close to Qi Ge.He liked the kitten, but he had no intention of solving his problems and wished he could add more difficulties to him.
Although Qi Ge resisted Xia Yize’s attitude of taking action immediately after thinking about it, he weighed the pros and cons and agreed, “You hang up slowly. I will go home to pick up the kitten first, and then come back to pick you up.”
Xia Yize accepted it quickly, “Okay.”
Qi Ge left first after finishing his treatment. Xia Yize reminded him from behind, “Don’t forget to come back to pick me up. I’ll wait for you here.”
As soon as Qi Ge left, Xia Yize felt a little regretful. He should have gone with him just now. If he didn’t come back, he would be dumped again.
But now Xia Yize could only wait, staring at the potion dripping down drop by drop, feeling a little anxious.
When Xia Yize pulled out the needle, Qi Ge still didn’t come back.
Even after being warned not to harass him, Xia Yize still sent a message asking him when he would be back.
Twenty minutes passed, and Qi Ge still didn’t show up.
The longer Xia Yize waited, the more he felt that he had been tricked. Not only had his address been exposed, but he had also been allowed to get away easily.
Xia Yize stood at the door of the clinic holding his mobile phone. He wanted to print Qi Ge’s WeChat ID into a flyer, print out Qi Ge’s photo and hang it on a sandbag, and dig traps on Qi Ge’s running road.
It was already uncomfortable to catch a cold, but Xia Yize was so angry that half of the bottle was in vain and he felt dizzy.
Xia Yize kicked a stone at the intersection, put his hands on his hips and let out a small tantrum in the air.
Turning his head, Qi Ge rolled down the window, with surprise in his eyes, as if he was insane, “Are you okay?”
Xia Yize changed his face quickly. He was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn’t help but laugh out loud, because Qi Ge’s hair flew up and rubbed several times, a button on his shirt fell off, his sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and there were a few new scratches on his arms.
Xia Yize seemed to be arrogant and didn’t care about him. He pulled away the co-pilot and saw an aviation cabin.
Before Qi Ge could speak, Xia Yize came up by himself. He picked up the box. Inside, there was a small sesame ball huddled in the corner. When Xia Yize looked at it, it opened its mouth to breathe.
Xia Yize smiled and stretched his hand in, “It’s so fierce.”
“Don’t tease it, be careful it bites you.” Qi Ge was driving while looking at the two careless ones on the passenger seat.
Xia Yize purred the kitten, and the kitten came over and sniffed gently.
Qi Ge’s words didn’t seem to have entered Xia Yize’s ears at all. Xia Yize turned into a clip to the kitten and said, “Smell it, you will be mine from now on, little one, what will I give you a name?”
Xia Yize looked up and finally saw Qi Ge, “What’s its name?”
“It hasn’t been named yet.” Qi Ge’s face was expressionless, and he gave him goosebumps in his heart.
“It’s so careless. I didn’t even give it a name. No wonder it tickles you.” Xia Yize started to whisper to the box again, “From now on, you will call me Little Coal Ball, Little Sesame Ball, and Black Sesame Ball.”
Qi Ge wanted to find an earplug to plug his ears, but then the phone rang. Xia Yize was playing with the kitten intently.
Qi Ge still picked up the call. It was a call from the nursing home. He was worried that he would miss something important.
But even if Xia Yize didn’t want to hear it, he couldn’t help but notice Qi Ge’s serious tone.
“How are you now?” “How long has it been?” Finally, he slowly parked the car on the side of the road and said, “I’ll go over now.”
Qi Ge hung up the phone, turned around and said seriously: “I have something to do now, can I help you take a taxi back?” The dean just now said that grandma’s condition is not very good now, and she has to go back a long way to send Xia Yize back.
Xia Yize rolled his eyes, hugged the kitten, and said, “It’s better to take a taxi here. If you are in a hurry, just go directly. I will wait for you in the car.”
Xia Yize keenly sensed that this was a very important thing about Qi Ge. He huddled on the seat like a kitten and said with a harmless look: “I have time today, you don’t have to think about me. If there is something urgent, go quickly and don’t delay it.”
Qi Ge looked at him and seemed to be evaluating the optimal solution. “I’m going to a nursing home now. It’s not far from here. You can take a taxi there.”
Xia Yize pulled on the seat belt and said, “Let’s go.”
Xia Yize guessed that Qi Ge’s parents were divorced and who lived in the nursing home. It must be a very important person who made him so anxious.
Xia Yize was about to move as if he was close to the answer to some mystery, but on the surface he still looked obedient and considerate.
Qi Ge didn’t speak the whole way and kept stepping on the accelerator until the car stopped at Wanfeng Nursing Home.
Qi Ge neatly unbuckled his seat belt and said, “Go back by yourself, I’m sorry.”
Before Xia Yize agreed, he got out of the car and started to make a phone call. Xia Yize couldn’t continue to linger in the car. As soon as he got out of the car, Qi Ge pressed the lock button. Xia Yize was left at the door with the kitten in his arms. Seeing that Qi Ge was about to go in, Xia Yize stretched his neck to see where he was going.
Qi Ge suddenly stopped and turned around within a few steps. Xia Yize quickly retracted his head and turned to look at the sky.
“Do you need me to call a taxi for you?” Qi Ge asked.
“No, no, no,” Xia Yize said while stretching out a hand to sign. He lost his balance while holding the box with one hand, and he was hurriedly holding the box.
The kitten meowed dissatisfiedly in the flight box. Qi Ge frowned and looked at him. The dean’s call came again. He turned around and went in without paying attention to Xia Yize.
Qi Ge was about to walk out of Xia Yize’s sight. Should he follow him or not? The opportunity was fleeting. Xia Yize tightened his clothes and said, forget it, he just added his contact information, so he couldn’t chase him too closely.
Xia Yize squatted on the side of the road and started to call for a taxi. This nursing home has a very good environment. It is built on the mountain and is quiet and elegant. However, the signal is average and the location is remote. His taxi-hailing software keeps prompting that there is a shortage of cars nearby, so please wait patiently.
Until Xia Yize ran out of patience and his legs were numb from squatting on the side of the road, the software still showed that the emergency call was in progress, but in fact there was no sign of urgency at all.
The one who arrived before the car was the security guard of the nursing home. He saw Xia Yize getting off the car with Qi Ge and squatting alone on the side of the road, leaning against a tree for almost half an hour. He took the initiative and asked, “What are you doing here?”
When Xia Yize heard this, he thought he thought he was a bad guy, so he quickly explained: “I’m taking a taxi. I’ll leave as soon as I get one.”
The security guard realized that he might be too serious and explained: “Are you a friend of Teacher Qi? Why don’t you come in and sit for a while? There are many bugs on the roadside.”
Xia Yize hurriedly stood up and followed him into the security booth. There wasn’t much space inside, but at least he could sit on a clean chair.
The security guard drank water from a thermos cup and said enthusiastically: “It’s not easy to take a taxi here. How about I ask the dean to help you find a taxi and see if there are any people who go out to buy groceries at noon and give you a ride.”
“That’s so embarrassing.” Xia Yize didn’t expect the security guard to be so considerate.
“It’s a small matter, Teacher Qi is our old friend.” The security guard has dark skin and looks fierce without smiling. When he smiles, his wrinkles reveal simple kindness.
Xia Yize smiled and leaned forward and asked, “Can I go in and ask Teacher Qi?”
The security guard hesitated, “Why don’t you call and talk to him.”
Xia Yize went over and gave the security guard a glass of water and said, “Uncle, you see, I sent him several messages and he didn’t reply to me, but the phone didn’t turn on the reminder. I went in and told him to come out. Otherwise, if I just took the car of the nursing home, if he knew about it, he might blame me for troubling you. Uncle, it’s okay to let me in.”
Xia Yize’s “uncle” words made the security guard feel soft. Seeing that he came with Qi Ge and looked harmless, he put down his cup and said, “Okay, Teacher Qi should be on the second floor of the east building. You can go, but you have to register first.”
“Okay.” Xia Yize wrote his name in cooperation, left the kitten at the security booth, and went in to find Qi Ge. He was a well-known teacher, so Qi Ge shouldn’t say anything.
The environment of the nursing home was good, and there was a sculpture fountain in the middle of the small square. He entered the building that the security guard had mentioned. The first floor was filled with small rooms for rehabilitation. He went up to the second floor. Before turning, he took a deep breath, held his head high, and tried not to look sneaky. He came in openly.
There were also rooms on the second floor with the doors closed. Only when we reached the end of the corridor did some sound come from the rooms inside.
It was Qi Ge who was talking, “Grandma, I’m here. Can you take the medicine first? Why did you leave you alone? I’m here to accompany you.”
Someone next to me said, “Yes, Auntie, take your medicine first. Look, Qiqi is here to see you.”
The old man’s hoarse voice choked with sobs and said: “You don’t come to see me, just leave me here alone. I won’t live anymore and I won’t take medicine.”
Qi Ge said softly: “Take the medicine well. After taking the medicine, go home. Let’s go home together.”
When he heard that he was going home, the old man’s voice became softer. Before Xia Yize could recover, they were pulled away from inside, and he subconsciously took half a step back.
Qi Ge’s face turned ugly. When he saw Xia Yize, he was stunned for a moment. Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and his tone changed from gentle to rude: “What are you doing here?”
Xia Yize’s mind went blank. Looking at the old man inside, his hair was gray and messy, and his eyes were cloudy. He subconsciously felt that these were not things he should know. Qi Ge was a glamorous professor on the surface, but he left the elderly at home in a nursing home.
According to the old man’s complaint, the old man even wanted to commit suicide because Qi Ge didn’t come to see her often.
Xia Yize thought he was just here to see a relative, but he accidentally stumbled into such a private matter. Xia Yize looked down on his behavior, and he was in the wrong. He turned around and said, “I didn’t get a taxi. I want to ask you when you will go back.”
When the old man saw Xia Yize at the door, he suddenly shouted uncontrollably. Several people inside did not expect that all the medicine bottles and water cups were knocked over, making a mess, and the emotions that had just calmed down were stirred up again.
Before Xia Yize could react, Qi Ge pressed his shoulder and pushed him out of Grandma’s sight, then closed the door with his backhand.
Xia Yize was pushed directly into the window sill, and his hand scratched a cut somewhere.
He thought Qi Ge was angry because someone saw that his moral conduct was lacking.Xia Yize glared at him and said, “Why are you pushing me?” He turned around and muttered in a low voice, “White-eyed wolf.”
Xia Yize, who went in happily, came back with his head hanging down and sat in the security booth with Mao Mao.
Half an hour later, Qi Ge came out, glanced at him from a distance, said nothing, and went to drive directly. It was impossible to wait for him to pick him up. Xia Yize was worried that he would just hit the accelerator and leave.
Xia Yize could only hug the little black cat and rush over, but he couldn’t open the door. Xia Yize frowned and patted the glass. Qi Ge didn’t even look at him and ran forward.
Xia Yize staggered as he was led, and then the door behind him stopped in front of him.
Xia Yize opened the back door and got in. The air pressure was so low that it was suffocating.
