On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

Everywhere they looked, they saw a crowd of people. Every unfamiliar face they could see looked in their direction, either confused or at a loss.

"Sorry, can you let me go?" he repeated, and raised his hand to pat the arm that was restraining him to remind the other person.

And did not receive any response.

What's going on? Chen Qian was puzzled and put his hands between the two of them, keeping a fist's distance between them.

He took advantage of the short distance to look up and saw a familiar face that was gasping for breath.

"Chi...Brother Chi Mu?" Chen Qian was extremely surprised and asked hesitantly, "Why are you here?"

Chi Mu always seemed to appear suddenly without any warning, catching Chen Qian off guard every time.

It was like this when I was at Chi’s house, and it is still like this now.

Chi Mu still didn't give him any answer. He just maintained that posture, staring at himself absentmindedly and muttering to himself, "That's great..."

It's like finding something important that was lost.

At this moment, the crowd at the back suddenly moved violently, and another group of people poured out from the glass door of the publishing house.

They were all familiar faces, the same group of people who had just attended the meeting.

The familiar editor was still on the phone as he hurried out, followed by Zhong Yi with an expressionless face and Shi Xixi with a complicated look.

The moment he saw Shi Gongxi, Chen Qian felt as if he was hit hard by a hammer. He shook all over and put in more strength to push Chi Mu away in two or three moves, breaking free from his restraints.

He took two steps to the side uncomfortably, putting some distance between himself and Chi Mu, and met the editor's relieved face.

Beside him, the lost Chi Mu was still standing there in a daze.

"Xiao Qian, why didn't you tell me you were leaving?" The editor seemed both angry and surprised.

The editor is said to be almost 50 years old, and he usually speaks in a stern tone. This tone is actually a bit discordant with his weathered and solemn face.

Chen Qian scratched his head nervously and said, "I just went to the rooftop to bask in the sun. What happened?"

"There was a car accident at the intersection downstairs. A car lost control and crashed everywhere." The editor explained with a sigh. He continued, "We all thought you had gone downstairs, but Zhongyi called you and you didn't answer, so..."

The editor paused for a moment and then omitted most of the words.

Chen Qian could actually guess what the content was that was swallowed.

I also had a partial understanding of why everyone suddenly gathered outside the office.

The building is located in a very busy area, with a business district in the front and a park in the back, with several office buildings in between. Therefore, the front of the building is the busiest section of the city for both traffic and pedestrian traffic.

Chen Qian couldn't imagine what would happen if a vehicle lost control in such an area.

"We couldn't contact you just now, and everyone was worried."

"Hmm..." Chen Qian was worried and responded seriously, "Thank you, I'm really fine."

"I'm relieved to see that you're okay. I'll go downstairs to find out what's going on." After saying that, the editor patted Chen Qiandi and hurriedly got into the elevator and went downstairs.

Chen Qian stayed where he was silently, with a cold feeling forced into his palm, coming from the person he had just hastily pushed away.

He felt his hands cooling down along with the coldness, feeling at a loss, and turned his head to face the person beside him who was looking at him hesitantly.

"Um, your hands... are really cold."

Chen Qian's original intention was to hope that he would let go for the time being. But when he met those piercing eyes, he suddenly found that he really couldn't say anything cruel.

"Chen Qian... I'm scared." Chi Mu said this, pleadingly. His eyes were so deep that they seemed to want to suck Chen Qian in completely, and the strength of his grip on him only increased.

Chen Qian calmed down, with only one thought in his mind: Let him be.

When I looked up again, Zhong Yi and Shi Xixi were already walking towards here together.

Chen Qian turned around a bit, hiding the clasped hands behind his back. He tried to convince himself that it was just a handshake, nothing serious.

"Are you okay?" Shi Xixi was the first to ask Chen Qian with concern.

"I'm fine." Chen Qian pursed his lips and shook his head, repeating his own lines, "I didn't go downstairs."

"I just found out too. It's a good thing you didn't go downstairs. I heard that the car crashed quite far away." Shi Xi looked him up and down, and after confirming that he was indeed fine, he turned to Chi Mu who was standing there in a daze.

She complained, "It's okay with Chen Qian, nothing happened. What did you run out of the hospital for?"

Chen Qian felt Chi Mu's grip tighten again. Unconsciously, he took the cold hand and slipped it discreetly into his coat pocket.

"I just wanted to come and see you." Chi Mu replied calmly, his demeanor different from Chen Qian's when he spoke to her. He said nonchalantly, "I always feel uneasy in the hospital, so I came here."

The two of them talked back and forth, and Chen Qian felt confused.

"What worries you that you come here right after I hung up the phone, without even having time to change your clothes?" Shi Xixi's tone was a little sharp.

Chi Mu was so angry that he stopped talking. He turned his head away and deliberately avoided looking at her.

Chen Qian looked at her serious expression and Chi Mu's frustrated look, and suddenly thought that if Chi Yubai made a mistake, would she scold Chi Yubai like this?

Most likely, he said to himself, almost laughing out loud in this tense atmosphere.

"Xiao Qian, don't just watch the fun, pay more attention to what he is wearing when he runs out." Seeing that Chi Mu was unwilling to respond, Shi Xunxi changed the subject and dragged Chen Qian into the dispute.

Chen Qian was stunned for a moment when he suddenly heard his own name. Without time to think about her overly intimate name, he involuntarily looked down along the direction of Shi Xixi's slender pointing fingers.

He had been in a state of disarray since coming down from the rooftop. It was more like he was being led by others than on his own, so he hadn't had much time to take a closer look at Chi Mu.

Only now did he realize that the clothes Chi Mu was wearing were the same ones he usually wore when the ward was fully heated.

It was just that every time he visited Chen Qian's ward, he always wore a light-colored hospital gown, but today he was wearing a dark one. Paired with a black coat, it looked like a relaxed outfit.

No wonder my hands are so cold, it’s just like they just came out of the cold storage.
