Chapter 22 - Gray USB flash drive
Mu Yi Chu finally had a reaction. But his first reaction was to rush to the sink and throw up again.
The middle-aged man outside was baffled by the sudden appearance of Mu Yi Chu. While shouting, ”Young man, why are you running? What happened?”, he walked into the apartment …
”AHH!” The middle-aged man was so frightened by the scene before him that he fell to the ground. Only after a long while did he turn around to look at Mu Yichu, who was still vomiting by the sink.
He pointed shakily with one hand to the refrigerator, and with the other to Mui and Chu, and his voice trembled, and he said, ”What the hell is going on, huh? Young man, what the hell is going on, eh? ”
Mu Yi Chu was finally done vomiting. He used both hands to take the water and put it on his face. The cold water seemed to be able to make him forget what he had just seen. He picked up the small black bag on the workbench and, ignoring the middle-aged man's shouts and questions, turned to leave.
Seeing that Mu Yi Chu was about to leave instead of responding to him, the middle-aged man came to a sudden realization. As Mu Yi Chu passed by, he reacted quickly and pulled on Mu Yi Chu's thigh. However, before Mu Yi Chu could break free, he was so frightened that he released his hand when he saw the blood on Mu Yi Chu's foot.
Feeling that his thighs had been released, Mu Yi Chu didn't even bother to give another glance to the middle-aged man. He hastily tidied up his clothes, put on his shoes without putting on his socks and left.
He really didn't want to stay in that house for even a second.
Mu Yi Chu sat dejectedly in the back seat of the taxi. Only when he took out his phone from his pocket did he realize that there were about a dozen missed calls from He and Ze. He looked out the window and sighed deeply.
Needless to say, it was his boss who called him. Not only because he was busy working for no reason, but also because he had never been like this. Although his private life style was bad, he was basically a man with strong principles. Work has always been meticulous.
He never left the miners early and was late. He rarely even took a leave of absence. Therefore, He Heze, who was also his boss, cared deeply for Mu Yichu. Even though he knew that Mu Yi Chu was a cold person, he never minded. It had always been within Mu and Chu's range of acceptance, giving him as much attention as he could.
Mu Yi Chu frowned as he looked out of the window at the parasol trees by the roadside that were about to lose all their leaves. They were so tall and independent, but the white spots on the tree trunk made them seem somewhat fragile and helpless.
How good it was to make a tree. Silence. No pain, no addiction. Mu Chu didn't want to lie. But he couldn't tell He and Ze the truth.
The phone was awakened by Mu Yi Chu's shaking. The shiny screen showed that the upper left corner was running out of battery power, which was a dangerous red low. He hesitated for a few seconds, then pressed the call back.
”Hello, Little Chu?” The phone had only rung for an instant before it was picked up by the other party. An anxious voice transmitted from Mu Yi Chu's ears to Mu Yi Chu's heart.
”Yes.” Zetas, today, I am not feeling very well, and have not woken up since I went to sleep. ” Mu Yi Chu slowly said as he considered his options.
”You can tell me that if you're not feeling well, but I'm not talking about you, it's fine to rely on your friends every now and then.” After saying that, He and Ze paused for a moment, afraid that Mu Yi Chu might not like it. They coughed and said, ”How is it now? Do you need me to come over and visit you?”
Without waiting for Mu Yi Chu to speak, He Hai Ze heard the faint sound of a car horn coming from his phone. He raised his voice and asked, ”Are you outside now?”
”Mm, go buy some medicine and go back immediately.” He and Ze were about to speak, but Mu Yi Chu was planning to speak first. ”Just take the medicine.” I'm fine. Zetas. You don't have to do this on purpose. I'll go back to bed in a minute. I'll go to work tomorrow. ”
Mu Ichu knew that He and Ze would probably be a little disappointed to hear him reject them like this. But he really did not want to be seen in such a pathetic state. He looked at himself in the mirror and then quickly looked away.
He didn't even want to look at it.
He and Ze on the other end of the phone became silent. Although Mu Yi Chu seemed to be an amiable and charming playboy, but Mu Yi Chu was extremely picky. Normal people more or less have their own small circle. However, he felt that Mu Yi Chu couldn't find anyone else who could be called a friend other than him. However, He Heshan wasn't sure if his so-called friendship was just a one-sided decision on his part.
The two remained silent for a while, before Mu Yichu said in a hoarse voice, ”Then Zetas, I'll be hanging up first. Your phone will soon be out of battery. ”
”Alright, then rest well.” Rest for a few more days if you don't feel well. Don't worry about the store. I can handle it for a few days by myself. ” He and Ze still didn't say anything.
The two of them were both men who had passed their thirties. Talking too much would always make them seem pretentious.
