Chapter 31 The Watchdog

Duan Congzhen received the call in the middle of the night.

Even Lu was still asleep, nestled on the sofa and watched a movie, staring at Duan Congzhen before going to sleep together after finishing his work in the study.

In the middle of the haze, the deer felt a little cold, unconsciously wrapped the blanket tighter, dozed off little by little, and sneezed a few times from time to time.

I probably really caught a cold after blowing the wind outside today, and I have a bit of a stuffy nose. Ji Lu glanced at the closed study door, hesitated for a while, slid down from the sofa, and went to get medicine from the cabinet in the bedroom.

Maybe it's the doctor's habit. Duan Congzhen's cabinet has all kinds of medicines, including injections and oral medicines for external use. That is, the deer rummaged in it for a while, took a green medicine bag, stood by the cabinet and opened it. Swallowing two pills with cold water, the cold liquid entered his throat, which made him shiver.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Duan Congzhen standing by the entrance, wearing a coat, and talking on the phone with his mobile phone.

"Brother Duan, it's getting late, where are you going?" Ji Lu looked at him puzzled, a little stunned.

Duan Congzhen glanced at him and said concisely, "Hospital."

"Are you working? Are you in a hurry?" Seeing that he was inconvenient, Ji Lu hurried over to straighten his collar.

Duan Congzhen only responded and didn't say much.

As he got closer, Ji Lu heard the faint voices coming from the phone, intermittently inaudible, and vaguely recognized someone crying.

His eyes dimmed slightly, and almost instantly, Ji Lu recognized that it was Qi Ran's voice.

"Don't cry, I'll go over right away." Duan Congzhen calmed down, raised his hand to block Jilu's arm, buttoned the button, and went out with the key.

Ji Lu's fingers froze, and he remembered seeing Qi Ran make out with another man in the hospital that day, his expression suddenly turned down, a little angry, his mind became hot, and he said unconsciously, "Brother Duan..."

"What else is there?" Duan Congzhen turned his head almost immediately, his tone sank, cold and distant, urging him to speak quickly.

Looking at the man's overly sharp eyes, Ji Lu suddenly felt his back go cold, his throat was constricted, and after a long time, he could only bite the bullet and say, "...Come back early."

"I'm not coming back." Duan Congzhen said casually, "Sleep alone."

"Can……"

Before he finished speaking, the door in front of him slammed shut with a "bang".

That is, the deer pinched his palm and sighed slightly in his heart.

The car accident that happened on the Bund at night was on the news the next day. The hostess's cold mechanical voice rang in my ears, that is, the deer lowered her head to wash the vegetables, and there was no emotion in her eyes.

There was a sound of opening the door in the living room, and the deer came back to his senses, his eyes finally had some focus, he put down the vegetables in his hand, turned and walked towards the door.

Duan Congzhen was hanging up his coat, and when he heard footsteps, he turned his head and glanced at him.

"Brother Duan, you go back..."

Before he finished speaking, Duan Congzhen interrupted him, "If you lock the door next time, I won't be polite to you."

"Ah...?" Ji Lu paused slightly, the smile on his face froze, he turned his head to look at the door in confusion, and after a long time, he said in a daze, "I didn't lock it..."

"Then I don't care." Duan Congzhen raised his hand to stop his defense, his tone was very unpleasant, his eyes were cold, "Although I can open the door, I don't like the feeling of losing control over my own things, do you understand?"

Full of anticipation and slowly cooling down, Ji Lu pursed his lips, hung his wet hands in a daze, and nodded slightly.

Duan Congzhen frowned, lowered his eyelashes, and stared at his eyes with ambiguous meaning, and ordered in a flat tone, "Say 'understand'."

"...Understood Brother Duan." Ji Lu lowered his eyes and obeyed meekly.

"Good boy." Duan Congzhen raised his hand, touched his cheek as a reward, then slid it to his shoulder, and patted him urgently, "Cook quickly, I have something to do in the afternoon."

·

After Duan Congzhen was called away by Qi Ran's phone call in the middle of the night, he often stayed out at night, and occasionally came back late, with the smell of alcohol and perfume on his body, that is, the deer would wait at first, but later Duan Congzhen came back later and later. I couldn't bear it, so I had to take medicine to make myself sleep as soon as possible.

Today Duan Congzhen sent him a message in the afternoon, saying that he would come back for dinner, that is, Lu spent the whole afternoon thinking about what to do in the evening.

After Xiao Yang left, the boss recruited a new waiter, a part-time college student named Lin Nai, who was very diligent and sweet-mouthed, and looked like a courtesan, even more talkative than Xiao Yang.

Because it is a part-time job, Lin Nai will come here to help when there is no class, and the salary is calculated by the hour.

"Brother Lu, your name is so special, what's your last name?"

"Brother Lu, do you like milk very much?"

"Brother Lu, do you think this dress looks good?"

"Brother Lu, you have cleaned your cup so many times, why are you still cleaning it?"

"Brother Lu..."

Jilu was cleaning the cup, and there was a mosquito buzzing in his ear, and he turned his head, and saw Lin Nai holding his mobile phone, half lying on the bar, next to him, picking out a sweater in the software.

"How about this one? The style is very good, but the color is not what I like." Linnai would sometimes show him his mobile phone and ask him to help him choose, but he would finish the sentence on his own without leaving him any space at all. .

Ji Lu looked at him helplessly and shook his head.

Five o'clock arrived soon, and the deer's mood can be described as returning to his heart like an arrow. He stared at the clock that passed by round and round, and saw the minute hand pointing to 12 o'clock. He immediately changed his clothes and prepared to leave work.

Suddenly, there was a deafening noise from the microphone.

Ji Lu was taken aback, and looked back, only to see the resident guitar thrown to the ground.

"What's going on?" Lin Nai heard it too, straightened up, and looked over there curiously.

The resident singer came a few minutes ago, that is to say, Lu didn't pay much attention to it. Ever since I bumped into him sleeping with Duan Congzhen that day, there was a strange atmosphere between the two of them, and suddenly they changed from ordinary friends to strangers.

The resident singer stood next to the stool, looking at the guitar on the ground with some astonishment and avoidance, his fingers were trembling, his face was pale, he looked tired and lonely, his dry lips were pursed, but he didn't say anything.

Standing beside him was a man that Ji Lu had never seen before, wearing flamboyant earrings and a patchwork denim jacket. He looked very young and not easy to mess with.

"What's wrong?" Lin Nai asked loudly, putting away the phone.

"It's okay." The man turned his head, smiled at them, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and pointed to the guitar on the ground, "I accidentally lost my grip."

"Oh, be careful, don't break it." Seeing that there was no conflict between them, Lin Nai felt that it was all right, and lowered his head and continued to pinch the phone.

"Understood, sorry." The man still smiled politely.

Slowly looking at the two people at the bar, the man withdrew his gaze and looked at the resident singer again.

The two of them didn't know what they said, the resident singer's face changed suddenly, he looked at the smiling man in horror, his shoulders were trembling invisibly.

The man said something again, turned and walked towards the door.

After a while, the resident singer bowed his head, picked up the guitar silently, and walked to the bar, saying that he could not perform at night and had to ask for leave.

Ji Lu hesitated, "He..."

"Please tell the boss for me, I will find time to make up for the vacant performance as soon as possible, thank you." The resident singer hurriedly finished, turned and left with the man.

I went to the supermarket to buy some easy-to-handle ingredients, that is, the deer rushed home and was preparing to cook some dishes suitable for dinner. Duan Congzhen's news came and asked him to go to a pastry shop in the south of the city to buy something and send it to the hospital. go.

Duan Congzhen doesn't like sweets, that is to say, Lu knows exactly who this pastry is for, which is self-evident.

Probably Qi Ran was acting like a baby with him again.

After wiping off his hands, even the deer put on his coat without saying anything.That's right, he also wanted to see how sad Qi Ran would be when his lover got into a car accident.

After buying what Duan Congzhen wanted, that is, Lu entered the hospital with ease, walked all the way into the inpatient department, hummed softly and walked up, followed the familiar route, and pushed open the door of the ward calmly.

The ward was silent, like a mortuary, and after walking two steps forward, he saw Qi Ran's face was slightly pale, resting on the bed with his eyes closed, with a needle inserted in his hand.

Some time ago, Qi Ran had a second operation, which of course was performed by Duan Congzhen. During that time, Duan Congzhen basically didn't go home, and the hospital and the laboratory ran at both ends.

That is, how could the deer forget.

Seeing that the man didn't hear his footsteps, the deer approached slowly, grabbed the rope of the pastry, and threw it on the table carelessly.

A small sound woke up the sleeping person.

His eyes were a little dazed, and it took a while for Qi Ran to focus, and slowly looked at him, his pupils suddenly trembled.

"You still dare to come?" Qi Ran asked tremblingly.

"Brother Duan asked me to come." Ji Lu hooked his lips slightly and smiled politely, "I'll bring you dessert."

"You!... Cough cough, cough cough..."

Qi Ran kept gasping for air, his waist was seriously injured, and he struggled to speak.

"Sleep well." Ji Lu's face suddenly turned cold, and his tone was tinged with pity and sarcasm.

"You went to the Bund, right?!... You were on the Bund that night, right!?"

There was hysteria in the ear, but there was no threat to question, that is, the deer raised his eyebrows, ignored him, and sat down on the chair leisurely.

"Qin Yu said he saw you...it was you, you went to the Bund, right?" Qi Ran stared at him fiercely, his eyes flushed, "That night, you were standing there at the door, didn't you? !"

Ji Lu remained silent the entire time, neither admitting nor denying, just looking down at him indifferently, his eyes tinged with boredom and lethargy—oh, so that man's name is Qin Yu.

"It was you who caused Qin Yu to have a car accident, right?! You did it, right! You are so vicious... Ji Lu, you are so vicious!" Qi Ran asked with a sobbing voice and a hoarse throat.

Hearing this sentence, Ji Lu's face changed instantly, full of gloom and hatred, he stood up from the chair, condescending, with snow in his eyes, staring closely at the person lying on the bed, raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly smiled Yes, slowly said, "I, can, no, yes, touch, him."

"You!" Qi Ran was extremely angry, and the postoperative wound on his waist was about to tear again. He gritted his teeth, "Because Brother Duan doesn't like you, so you are angry from embarrassment?! Let me tell you, if he knows about this matter, you just wait to die!"

"Who is the one who deserves to die?" Ji Lu tilted his head, smiled gently, stretched out his hand, and caressed Qi Ran's cold cheek with his fingers, "Having Brother Duan's favor and getting entangled with other men, you Is it that cheap?"

Suddenly pressing the man's Adam's apple, Ji Lu said in a deep voice, "You are not loyal to Brother Duan, isn't this the retribution you deserve?"

Qi Ran looked at him in disbelief.

"You should be thankful that you are still half-disabled and can't drive a car. Otherwise, who would have guessed the car accident? Your mistress? I don't think so."

Being pressed by the neck, Qi Ran couldn't breathe well, tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, and he was angry, "Jilu... bitch... you are the fucking watchdog for Duan Congzhen..."

Ji Lu was not annoyed, leaned over, and whispered close to his ear, "So you have to be careful... the sharp teeth of dogs."
