Brother Qi might be having a problem, thought Qiu Mi.
Jiang Qi, who always hurled his phone around like a brick, was suddenly seated on a chair with his elbows on his knees and staring intensely at his phone. The assistant couldn't help but glance back as he was placing items in front of the table.
Even Jiang Qi's thin wrist can be seen quivering slightly if you look closely.
He dropped his head slightly. His eyes, which were obscured by the sparse hair on his forehead, appeared frighteningly bright as if he were unable to control his melancholy.
Jiang Qi was aware of his condition. His emotions would occasionally spiral out of control and turn extreme, ecstatic, depressing, or aggressive.
Despite all of his emotional state, he is unable to suppress them when it comes to Zhixi.
He simply felt as though his heart was about to burst as he read the private messages that the Weibo user 'Zhixi' had sent to him.
Yes…it’s his little girl.
=====
Jiang Qi began reading Zhiqi's messages almost greedily from the first day she sent him, reading each word carefully, just like a primary school student’s clumsy and immature way. Up until he saw the final message, his whole body felt hot, and his boiling blood couldn't calm down.
The boy wondered aloud, as his long eyelashes began to flutter, "Is she coming over?"
Zhixi was going to come to that meeting, right?
Jiang Qi instantly stood up as soon as he realized this.
His quick action startled Qiu Mi, who instinctively questioned, "Brother Qi?"
"When is the meeting?" asked Jiang Qi.
He just agreed to attend the meeting earlier, but he never took the initiative to inquire about the meeting's time and location, various arrangements, and so on. But now... he's eager to learn more.
After a brief moment of shock, the various dates that were imprinted in Qiu Mi's consciousness caused him to respond as though by reflex: "The 23rd."
That was eight days from now.
With a rare smile in his eyes, Jiang Qi blinked before giving a small nod of agreement.
His'soft' appearance astounded Qiu Mi.
You must be aware that Jiang Qi was tasked with serving as an assistant as soon as "Wang Tian" debuted. More than half a year has already passed. Qiu Mi has never witnessed him being so "warm" before. Brother Qi, are you in a good mood? he inquired while fighting the excitement in his heart.
Jiang Qi even hummed and nodded before shaking the phone in his fingers and asking, "Can I take it?"
He yearned to read Zhixi's private messages that kept increasing in numbers.
...
When Qiu Mi realized Jiang Qi was ready to put his phone in his pocket and leave, he was initially sluggish and struggled to exclaim, "Brother Qi, that, that is my phone."
What connection to the outside world did Jiang Qi have before taking hid phone away?
Jiang Qi said, "Oh." After giving it some thought, he pulled out his phone and gave it to Qiu Mi, saying, "Then csn you download a Weibo for me."
To read private messages sent by Zhixi as soon as possible, he made the decision to sign in to the official account in the future.
But to Qiu Mi, Jiang Qi's request was like a bolt of lightning.
Will Jiang Qi ever decide to write something on Weibo despite how uncomfortable he is with the melon eaters online and those messy apps during the week? "Brother, are you planning to open for business?" exclaimed Qiu Mi in excitement.
The daily strong fans were disregarded, thinking how Shen Lei had encouraged him to post a few selfies on Weibo previously. However, once Jiang Qi 'considered it clearly,' Qiu Mi couldn't help but leap up and down in excitement. As a result,—
Jiang Qi scowled and asked coldly, "What business? I will just log in to my own account and I will manage the account myself going forward."
...
Qiu Mi never imagined that this product would deny him his company rights as well as his ability to operate. How could he pretend to be like Jiang Qi and be an emotionless forwarding machine?
Jiang Qi, on the other hand, gave it very little thought.
He merely didn't want Qiu Mi to heedlessly monitor the messages that Zhixi sent him.
Boys can be stingy at times.
Jiang Qi ignored Qiu Mi's plastic expression after he finished speaking and asked him to post a positive Weibo for himself and log in to his account before leaving.
Nowadays, he resides in Dongcheng District. He drove back the entire distance after taking the driver's license test half a year earlier. Jiang Qi occasionally glanced at the cell phone that was left on the passenger seat. He never would have thought that he would suddenly change into such a different person half an hour earlier. Feeling uneasy state of looking at the phone.
Exactly like a "teenager with an Internet addiction."
People become disappointed when their expectations are not met. Zhixi has been sending him messages every day for the past two months, sometimes once, sometimes multiple times...
It doesn't matter if he didn't see it. Now that he is aware of it, he will unavoidably develop expectations.
Like a tree hole, he was anticipating the girl's next message to him. Unfortunately, the phone's display hadn't been turned on.
Except for WeChat, Jiang Qi's phone is practically empty. He hasn't downloaded any entertainment apps, not even a push of spam. He simply has no opportunity of "misunderstanding."
Jiang Qi didn't get the private message he was hoping for until he got back home.
In truth, Qiu Mi has just blocked the number of users who were allowed to send him messages through his account. Jiang Qi had just set Zhiqi's notification as 'special' under his control. So, when Zhiqi sends him a private message, he will receive notice in no time.
He was often reckless and unpredictable, but he still astonished Qiu Mi by treating a fan special.
The latter pondered for a while before asking tentatively, "Brother Qi, this... do you know this fan?"
Jiang Qi gave a nod.
Qiu Mi wasn't overly astonished despite not understanding why. Possibly as a result of Zhiqi's brushstrokes and comments, which had already given him the impression that this fan knows a lot about Jiang Qi.
