Yan Qiu picked up the phone almost immediately, seeing the name that finally appeared on the screen, his heart trembled undetectably.

Immediately, the stone hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground, and he breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Li Zhi would hear something, he hurriedly collected his emotions, and then answered the phone.

"Li Zhi." Yan Qiu called him.

In fact, Yan Qiu is not a fragile person, but for some reason, whenever he is in front of Li Zhi, he always unconsciously feels some inexplicable grievances.

"Sorry." Li Zhi's voice came from the other end of the phone after a long time.

Li Zhi's voice was a little hoarse, and his voice was very soft, as if he had no strength, "I'm worrying you."

"Are you okay?" Yan Qiu asked worriedly after listening to his voice.

"It's fine." Li Zhi returned quickly this time, "I'm just a little tired from the long flight."

"Is the hotel booked yet? Then go and rest quickly." Yan Qiu felt even more worried when he heard this.

"It's booked." Li Zhi reassured, "Don't worry...I'll be back soon."

"Okay, I'll wait for your return."

Hearing Li Zhi's voice, Yan Qiu's heart that had been hanging for a day finally let go.

Li Zhi sounded very tired, so Yan Qiu didn't bother him too much, he just urged him to go to rest quickly after a few words of advice.

Li Zhi responded one by one.

Just when Yan Qiu was about to hang up the phone, he suddenly heard Li Zhi say: "By the way, there is one more thing."

"What's the matter?" Yan Qiu asked immediately.

However, after saying this, the other party suddenly fell silent.

The night was deep and quiet, although through the microphone, Yan Qiu seemed to hear the breathing coming from the other side.

It was very light and itchy. For some reason, a burning sensation suddenly came from the position next to the receiver.

"Xiaoqiu." Li Zhi finally opened his mouth and said to him word by word, "I miss you very much too."

Because of Li Zhi's words yesterday, Yan Qiu maintained a good mood for the whole day.

Early the next morning, he peeled the apples, and sat by the window of the study with Mr. Li, watching the eustoma outside the window.

Mr. Li's memory is now good and sometimes bad. Although he doesn't remember them most of the time, he still thinks of them occasionally.

So Yan Qiu always likes to talk to him about some past events, trying to bring back his memories.

"Actually, you gave me this string of beads twice." Yan Qiu said, took off the string of small-leaf rosewood beads on his wrist and put them in front of Mr. Li, and said softly to him.

The events of the previous life also appeared in my mind, "I didn't keep it well for the first time, but I won't do it this time. I will always wear it properly."

Mr. Li stared at the platycodon flowers outside the window without blinking, but he did not speak.

Yan Qiu has become accustomed to such unanswered conversations, and continued: "Master, some time ago my work participated in a tour exhibition, and the response was not bad. They all said that a famous teacher produces a high-level student. I said that I am not a high-level student, but my master is a famous teacher.He is the best teacher in the world."

"Recently someone asked me to order a birthday gift at a high price. I didn't want to accept it, but it turned out that it was Mr. Li's friend. He is a very good person and helped Mr. Li and me, so I agreed, but II haven't thought about what to engrave yet, I owe him a favor, so I always want to engrave the best gift for him, but fortunately, it's still early, and I'm not in a hurry, but sometimes I still think, if you stillJust give me a few more words of guidance."

"Mr. Li is on a business trip. It should be urgent. He left in a hurry. I used to think that with his status, he would not have any troubles. But when I got closer, I realized that he also had so many difficulties. I..."

Speaking of this, Yan Qiu was a little embarrassed, turned his head and glanced, and seeing that Mr. Li didn't respond, he continued: "I feel sorry for him."

After finishing speaking, he let out a long sigh, "I wonder if Mr. Li is done with his work? I was tired from hearing his voice yesterday, probably..."

As soon as he said this, he saw the apple in Mr. Li's hand suddenly drop.

Seeing this, Yan Qiu leaned over and picked up the dusty apple.

Seeing Mr. Li looking at the apple in his hand, Yan Qiu thought he still wanted to eat it, and said quickly, "Master, it fell on the ground. I'll go and peel another one for you."

After Yan Qiu finished speaking, he stood up, threw the fallen apple into the trash can, and then took another apple and started to peel it.

After peeling, Yan Qiu cut the apple into small pieces, and handed a piece to Mr. Li.

However, Mr. Li didn't answer it, he just quietly looked at the apple in his hand with downcast eyes.

The slightly cloudy eyes moved slightly, and something seemed to flash past inside.

"Have you stopped eating?" Yan Qiu asked strangely.

Old Master Li didn't answer, but still watched silently.

Although Yan Qiu didn't know why, he didn't move, trying to maintain this movement.

Old people with Alzheimer's disease will slow down their thinking and actions, so Yan Qiu is not in a hurry, and slowly waits for his next move.

After an unknown amount of time, Mr. Li finally reacted and slowly stretched out his hand.

Yan Qiu thought he would take the apple, but he didn't.

Old Man Li just raised his hand little by little, and pushed Apple towards Yan Qiu.

Yan Qiu thought that he wanted to eat for himself, and was about to say that I still had more, but he heard Mr. Li suddenly speak.

His voice was a little vague, but he spoke very slowly, so every word was clear enough for Yan Qiu to hear.

He said, "To Li Zhi."

Yan Qiu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, thinking that Mr. Li missed Mr. Li, so he quickly said: "Master, Mr. Li is away on a business trip and is not here now. When he comes back, I will cut it for him to eat."

However, Mr. Li seems to have returned to his previous state, as if he didn't hear his words, he just said again stubbornly and vaguely: "To Li Zhi."

"Mr. Li is not here now, so he can't eat." Yan Qiu patiently explained.

"Give it to him." However, Mr. Li repeated as if he didn't hear it.

Yan Qiu was a little bit at a loss, it seemed useless to tell Mr. Li these things in his current state, just when he was debating whether to pretend to eat the apple himself, and lie to him that Li Zhi had already eaten it.

Suddenly Fu Zhi asked one more question, "Master, why do you want to give this piece of apple to Mr. Li?"

Hearing the words, Mr. Li seemed to be stopped by the question, and finally slowly withdrew his hand.

"Master?" Yan Qiu saw that he seemed to be in a daze again, so he didn't continue to ask, just thought it was an unexpected episode.

He put the sliced apples in front of Mr. Li so that he could eat them anytime.

Then he stood up and put away the fruit knife, and was about to wash his hands, when he heard a vague voice behind him, "Peace."

Yan Qiu turned his head when he heard the words, and then saw that Mr. Li had picked up an apple at some point and was feeding something in emptiness.

Then, he uttered the longest sentence these days, "Take an apple and be safe."

This sentence was like a key, instantly unlocking Yan Qiu's memory.

Yan Qiu suddenly remembered what Li Zhi had told him, the old lady Li had let him eat apples before Li Zhi's operation.

"Little Zhi, be good, eat an apple, and be safe."

Yan Qiu looked at Mr. Li's actions and felt his nose sore.

So he walked over and sat down next to Mr. Li, he wanted to tell Mr. Li that Mr. Li is fine, he is on a business trip, not hospitalized, so don't worry.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly froze.

The phone call that was not connected until the evening yesterday, Li Zhi sounded tired, the sudden business trip, Lin Ye was in a rare panic, when he came back, he peeled half of the oxidized apple on the window sill.

With so many anomalies connected together, a thought popped up uncontrollably.

Is Mr. Li really on a business trip?

Yan Qiu suddenly became a little uncertain.

Why is Mr. Li so insisting on giving the apple to Li Zhi? Did he see something yesterday?

What the hell happened yesterday?

Thinking of this, Yan Qiu could no longer calm down, and immediately got up and walked outside, and called Lin Ye.

The other person quickly connected and asked, "Mr. Yan, do you want to go out?"

"Where's Mr. Li?" Yan Qiu cut to the chase.

"Mr. Li is on a business trip." The other party hesitated for a moment, but still replied like this.

"Where is the business trip?" Yan Qiu asked immediately.

There was silence on the other side.

"Is it a hospital?" Yan Qiu suddenly stopped and looked towards the door.

Then he saw that Lin Ye had already taken the key and was standing at the gate of the courtyard, as if he was waiting for him. When he saw Yan Qiu, he quickly put down the phone.

Yan Qiu also put down his phone, and walked over to him, "Lin Ye."

Lin Ye lowered his head and responded to him with a silent attitude.

"Is something wrong, Mr. Li?"

"He's not going on business at all, is he?"

"What happened to him?"

"You tell me about forestry!"

"What happened to him?"

Yan Qiu tried hard to restrain himself, but whenever he thought of what might have happened to Li Zhi, he felt his anxiety was about to explode, and a series of questions just blurted out, but he didn't get any answers.

"Don't you say yes." Yan Qiu was anxious and angry, and walked outside him, "I will call Mr. Li personally, and I will search one hospital after another, and I can always find him."

Then, just as he was about to step through the courtyard gate, Lin Ye's voice finally came from behind him, "Not in the hospital."

Yan Qiu stopped, looked back, and then saw Lin Ye looking up at him, as if he had finally made up his mind and said, "Mr. is in the villa on the top of the mountain. I'll take you to see him."

A look of surprise flashed across the housekeeper's eyes when he saw Yan Qiu, and then he looked at Lin Ye behind him with a bit of reproach in his eyes.

Seeing this, Yan Qiu quickly said, "I forced him to ask him, what happened to Mr. Li?"

The housekeeper knew that since he had found this place, he definitely couldn't hide it anymore, so he could only sigh in his heart, and replied in a straightforward manner: "It's not very good."

Yan Qiu stared blankly at the butler, and there seemed to be a "boom" in his ears. Although there were only three short words, it sounded like a thunderbolt from the blue sky to him.

"What do you mean it's not very good?" Yan Qiu said, forced a smile, "Didn't Mr. Li have undergone three surgeries when he was young, and the surgeries were very successful, as long as he has regular follow-up visits."

"That's right." The butler replied, "But..."

"But what?" Yan Qiu asked.

The butler seemed a little embarrassed, sighed, and replied, "Don't ask."

Yan Qiu looked at him and talked about his attitude, and suddenly remembered that rainy night, so he asked, "Is it because of me?"

The housekeeper didn't seem to want to answer, so he just said, "Sir, you haven't woken up yet, why don't you come back later."

Yan Qiu did not continue to follow his words, but looked up at him steadily, and asked again: "Uncle Chen, is it because of me?"
