Chapter 62 Cooling Medicine
"No trouble, I have something else to do."

Su Qiqi declined politely. She would have to pick up Jin Lin after a while, so she simply stayed in the cafe.

Li Yunhai didn't force anything, "Then I'll leave first and look forward to your design."

Su Qiqi smiled and responded, "I hope I won't disappoint you."

After Li Yunhai left, Su Qiqi stayed in the cafe for 10 minutes and took a taxi to the kindergarten.

There was a traffic jam on the road and Su Qiqi was a few minutes late. She stopped before she saw Jin Lin at the door.

Qin Xiao smiled and took Jin Lin into the car. Through the front windshield, Su Qiqi could clearly see Jin Muchen's face hidden in the shadows.

The car drove past Su Qiqi, kicking up the dust on the ground.

Su Qiqi stood there blankly, the dusk falling on her body, making her even more lonely.

Su Qiqi lowered her eyes and glanced at her own shadow. There was only one person's shadow today.

After staying at the entrance of the kindergarten for half an hour, the shadows in the dusk gradually disappeared.

Su Qiqi raised her head and the night and day blended together, like a thick ink painting.

After checking her phone and seeing no message, Su Qiqi took her bag and went to take a taxi.

Back at the villa, the light was no longer the blue sky but the street lights.

Opening the door, the lights inside the house are in stark contrast to the lights outside.

Su Qiqi was so shaken that she closed her eyes slightly and walked in to find that Jin Muchen was not in the living room.

Su Qiqi stood next to the sofa, put down her bag, and noticed that the cup of medicine from the morning was still in its original place.

I put the sticker on it with my finger while putting it in the bag, and it has cooled down.

The medicine loses its temperature and becomes like a pool of water in the cup.

"Mom, Mom, are you back? Let's have dinner together."

Jin Lin rushed out of the kitchen and took her hand towards the kitchen.

Su Qiqi followed his steps and met Jin Muchen's eyes at the kitchen door.

"Aunt Liu has already made it, come and eat."

Jin Muchen didn't notice her avoiding eyes and turned around to get a bowl from the kitchen.

"Come on, mom." Jin Lin kept holding Su Qiqi's hand and pulling her into the kitchen.

Su Qiqi knelt down and picked him up, freeing one hand to serve the meal.

Jin Lin stretched out his hand, and Su Qiqi handed him a bowl, and they brought it to the dining table together.

After serving the dishes, Su Qiqi put Jin Lin on the chair and said, "Let's eat."

Part of the attention was attracted by Jin Lin, and Su Qiqi was relieved.

"Mom, why don't you come to pick me up from school?" Jin Lin turned to look at her, unhappiness written on his face.

Su Qiqi recalled the scene she saw in her mind and couldn't help but look at Jin Muchen. Unexpectedly, he was also staring at her and turned her head hurriedly.

"I worked overtime today, I'm sorry, Jin Lin."

"Are you busy at work again?" Su Qiqi could hear the nasal sound in Jin Muchen's voice, but it was much better than in the morning.

"There's a new show." Su Qiqi hesitated for two seconds, "Are you feeling better from your cold?"

"I'm much better after taking medicine."

Jin Muchen remembered that he had to meet clients at the company today, but he had a splitting headache and had to take the capsule prepared by Qin Xiao.

She took medicine, but it was not prepared by her.

Su Qiqi flashed Qin Xiao's face in her mind, feeling something stuck in her throat and unable to speak.

"It's okay." Su Qiqi said after holding it in for a long time.

"Ah."

After that, the two stopped talking to each other. Su Qiqi kept chatting with Jin Lin, forcing her smile to be noticed by Jin Lin. "Mom, aren't you happy?"

"No, mom is just a little tired from working overtime." Su Qiqi blew the soup to feed him.

Jin Lin believed in continuing to chat with her about what happened in the kindergarten.

Jin Lin finished eating first, and Su Qiqi took him to take a shower first.

Jin Muchen accidentally glanced at her bowl and found that there was still more than half of the rice left. She usually finished it.

Jin Muchen couldn't help but frown, and then thought that she might be too tired from working overtime.

Passing by the living room, Su Qiqi picked up the cup containing the medicine and took it to the bathroom to pour it out.

Jin Lin looked at her blankly, "Why did mom pour it out? The old man hasn't drunk it yet."

Su Qiqi paused her hand, and all the medicine in the cup was poured out.

"You can't drink the medicine when it's cold. Dad has already taken other medicines." Su Qiqi turned on the faucet, washed the cup and put it aside.

Jin Lin nodded in understanding.

Su Qiqi came over to take off his clothes and give him a bath.

After settling down, Su Qiqi returned to the bedroom. When she passed by the living room, there was only one lamp left, and the large room was only partially illuminated.

Su Qiqi bit her lower lip, turned off the light and returned to the room.

After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Su Qiqi endlessly replayed the scene of Jin Muchen and Qin Xiao staying together in her mind today.

Over and over again, Su Qiqi had polished the picture in her mind many times, and the picture of the two of them together gradually became intimate in Su Qiqi's mind.

Their shadows were three people in the dusk, while her shadow was forced into a corner and disappeared as the dusk disappeared.

Just like that, Su Qiqi fell into insomnia again, and she couldn't sleep at three o'clock in the morning.

The curtains were open, and the moon could be seen through the window at a glance. It was the only embellishment in the dark night.

Why are there no stars today?
Su Qiqi thought to herself, looking everywhere but couldn't find the last star.

Su Qiqi didn't believe she couldn't find it, so she kept staring and slowly fell asleep.

It was precisely because the curtains were not drawn that Su Qiqi woke up to the sun in the morning, ten minutes earlier than her alarm clock.

She slept so late that she couldn't even open her eyes, but her consciousness was already awake.

Su Qiqi used concealer to cover her dark circles so as not to attract Jin Lin's attention.

After cleaning up, Su Qiqi went to the restaurant to have breakfast. The two of them were not awake yet, so Su Qiqi went to the company after eating.

Su Qiqi thought it was only 10 minutes earlier than usual, but there was no one in the company. If it weren't for the security guards, she would have been the first one to arrive at the company.

Su Qiqi walked through the quiet staff home and went to her office. She opened the notebook of yesterday's conversation with Li Yunhai and carefully revised every detail he said.

Whenever she stopped, the scene of Jin Muchen and Qin Xiao staying together would come back to her mind. She didn't want to think about it but couldn't control it.

Thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable, and Su Qiqi felt like a voyeur.

Su Qiqi had no choice but to keep immersed in work without giving herself any time to rest.

It wasn't until Zhou Lan came to call her to eat that she put down the revised drawings and followed her to the cafeteria.

On the way, Zhou Lan noticed her depression and asked her casually, "What's wrong? Sister Qiqi, do you want to eat chicken legs? I'll treat you."

After speaking, she patted her phone and looked proud. Su Qiqi was amused by her appearance, "I've been working for too long, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Really?" Zhou Lan obviously didn't believe it, with doubt in his eyes.

In Zhou Lan's eyes, Su Qiqi was a workaholic who loved her work and would never frown because of her work.

"Really." Su Qiqi pushed her face back, "I'll treat you to chicken legs."

"Okay, then tell me why after I finish eating." Zhou Lan compromised in front of the chicken legs.
