章節 123: Sick
"Someone would be definitely part of the core digital team!" One of the men gathered in that table near the corner of the cafeteria especially designated for the digital team excitedly said.
There were at least five people around starting eating their lunch.
"Is that the one who broke Zen's record?" The fatty guy asked.
The question made the other people perked up with interest.
"How did you know?" The man wearing a blue jacket who just spoke earlier asked in return.
"How could I not know? I told Zen about this yesterday." The fatty answered. He recalled that during lunch yesterday, he already had a hunch that there could be someone who would be part of their team. Thus he paid more attention to that person's output. Although he expected that the person could eventually finish fast, he didn't expect Zen's record would be broken.
The other three listened attentively. In their team only the two were actually this talkative especially about the new trainees.
There were actually total of 12 people in their team but half of them were pulled out for an emergency 'projects'. Thus their usual work doubled. If someone would really be part of the core digital team then maybe they could take their two days off back.
There are actually quite number of people in digital team but the core team handles 'special' and 'confidential' cases thus the requirements to be part of it were actually more complicated. So far only 12 people are part of it and for the past few years, there was no new member.
"We still have to wait for about a month. If that person's really good then we are really blessed this time." The one in the blue jacket said. He's actually hopeful.
The requests and series of work for their team were really endless.

When Han Meixiu stepped out of the elevator after her training ended, she immediately saw Ye Ming from a distance. Thus she knew where she would go.
The moment she got on the car, she saw Liu Zijian's complexion. It wasn't good.
When he felt someone entering he barely opened his eyes and smiled.
"You're sick!"
"I'm fine." He answered softly.
But Han Meixiu didn't buy his answer. She normally wanted to ask Ye Ming why Liu Zijian didn't go back earlier if he's clearly not feeling well.
But she noticed that even Ye Ming seemed a bit sick.
'These two!' She actually wanted to scold both of them. But it's more important to let these two take a good damn rest. Both were actually exhausted.
She normally wanted to go directly to the hospital but the Liu's Residence was nearer and the family has their own family doctor.
Liu Zijian was still trying to focus on the screen to verify something but suddenly the laptop was snatched from him by a pair of jade like arms.
It was first time for Liu Zijian to be interrupted while he's working. He knitted his eyebrows and questioningly looked at Han Meixiu.
He was greeted with a stern face clearly reflecting that she's angry. Her eyes were exceptionally scolding him and her eyebrows were attempting to form one fine line as both were deliberately moved to be closer together.
What did he do? Liu Zijian was puzzled. His wife was clearly upset. Though she tried to look scary like someone who wanted to discipline a child, she wasn't able to achieve such result.
She looked like a cute porcupine.
"Meixiu.." He normally wanted to subtly laugh but since the young woman was 'angry' he could only hold back his emotions.
She didn't answer right away. Instead, she placed the palm of her hand to cover his eyes.
"Sleep while we're on our way home." She said with a tone who containing an absolute command. But since her voice wasn't really designed to be feared, it would not be normally effective except for Liu Zijian.
Liu Zijian obeyed and closed his eyes as he placed his hand on top of hers.
Satisfied by the obedience of the Second Young Master Liu, Han Meixiu's attention then moved to his assistant who was seating on the passenger seat.
"Ye Ming, you too."
Startled by the sudden attention given by the young mistress, Ye MIng immediately closed his eyes after saying, "Yes, Miss." If his boss didn't dare disobey, what more him?
Even though Ye Ming normally wanted to make one last call to Ye Long to ask for an update but he realized he could do it later when Han Meixiu would not be around.
On the way, Han Meixiu called Madam Liu to inform her about the situation. The older woman then contacted the family doctor.
Thus when they arrived, the doctor immediately did his supposed to be work.
It wasn't until the doctor assured it's nothing serious that Han Meixiu was able to genuinely relax.
"Meixiu dear, take a rest, too." Madam Liu told the young woman when she saw her going out of their room.
"I'm fine Mommy Yi." Han Meixiu replied. She normally wanted to go to the kitchen to prepare something.
"You barely eat dinner. It's not good."
"I'll eat again when Zijian wakes up." She simply answered. She didn't really think much of what she said but the older woman smile broaden.
'Sweet girl.' Madam Liu thought.
"Alright. Just tell the helpers what you need. By the way, have you seen the mask?"
"I haven't open it yet. I'll check it probably later." She responded and excused herself to go to the kitchen.
She normally wanted to prepare something for Liu Zijian to eat but seeing the people in the kitchen as if they're waiting for her command, she changed her mind.
Although she's not a terrible cook, her skills for sure couldn't compare to those people. She sighed and went back to their room.
She looked at the young man who was peacefully sleeping on the bed and walked slowly towards it.
His clothes were already changed and probably because he took the medicine prior to his slumber, his complexion was a little better now.
Han Meixiu felt she didn't do nor could not do much for him. As she continued to ponder on what other things she could be useful, she saw the small package on the table. It was probably the mask.
Starting tomorrow she could wear it. Unlike yesterday, she didn't see the other trainees today. Thus she wasn't sure if like her, they wore a face mask.
She carefully opened the package and unwrap the multiple covers inside.
As she touched the mask, she clearly felt it was made of a good material. She wasn't even sure if it's silicon or something else. It felt like a real skin.
'Mommy Yi really didn't disappoint me.' She said to herself half smiling. 'I shouldn't disappoint her either. But what else could I do to Zijian?'
Her gaze went back to her husband again and put back the mask on the box.
She decided to sit on the edge of the bed to observe him closely. If he would eventually sweat, she could wipe him dry. If he would encounter a nightmare, she could wake him up. If he woke up and ask for water, she could give him right away.
She patiently waited. Unfortunately, nothing happened until her drowsiness conquered her. In short, as someone who should attentively watch the sick person she failed.
By the time she opened her eyes, the sky was in the edge of breaking a faint light from the eastern horizon.
She immediately sat up.
'Sh*t! I fell asleep!' Her eyes quickly scanned the entire bed and didn't see anyone.
'Where did Zijian go?' As she was about to ran out of the room the door opened.
"You're awake." Liu Zijian greeted her with a relaxing smile that almost made her believe she's dreaming.
"You're fine now?" She asked forgetting to even fix herself. Her hair was still a bit messy.
"Hmm." He nodded and made their distance closer.
Han Meixiu wasn't contented with his answer and extended her hand to check if he's really okay now. And finally settled her worries after confirming.
He held her hands and together went to the balcony to watch the greetings of the sun.
It's rare for Han Meixiu to wake up this early thus Liu Zijian took the opportunity to let them enjoy the warm light of the morning sun.
Even though Han Meixiu wanted to ask him a lot of questions, she didn't want to break the serenity of their situation.
Because of global warming even the seasons are messed up. Summer became longer and probably autumn would last for only two months before winter would come in.
This rare time that the sun wasn't still raging with dominating hotness was a good time to be enjoyed silently with the company of a person you're most comfortable with.
Until the entire surroundings bathed into that golden rays for a good amount of time, the two continued to enjoy both the fresh cool morning air and the warmth of each other.
A slight knocked was heard breaking the tranquil atmosphere of the two. It's clear that it's time for breakfast.
