The creek under the corridor occasionally has dead leaves falling, floating with the gurgling water.
A few ancient lanterns shone on the painted pillars, reflecting people's faces indistinctly.
The surrounding area was quiet, and a group of people chatted while walking, exchanging pleasantries constantly, bringing some drunkenness, and the atmosphere was harmonious and harmonious.
Only Zheng Shuyi was out of place.
She didn't have a faint joy on her face like when she came here, with a smile at the end of her eyes.
Now silently following Shi Yan's side, eyes downcast, even expressionless.
A few girls tried to chat with her on the road, but they were repelled by her cold eyes, and finally they could only interject with Shi Yan: "That friend of yours doesn't like talking very much."
Shi Yan took a look at her and said "En".
"She has a more restrained personality."
—
They bid farewell in the parking lot.
The driver waited all the time and drove the car in front of Shi Yan and Zheng Shuyi. The parking officer stepped forward and opened the car door for Zheng Shuyi first.
Zheng Shuyi got in without thinking, closed the door, and huddled in the corner.
After a while, Shi Yan got into the car from the other side.
Zheng Shuyi saw him bend over the car from the window glass, and a breath that belonged to him poured into the closed space.
Now it seems that as long as he breathes, Zheng Shuyi can feel a suffocating embarrassment.
Due to her personality, Zheng Shuyi is not the kind of girl who can fly both pornographic jokes and silly jokes, and she is usually too shy to pick up colorful jokes when chatting with friends.
If she didn't want to anger Yue Xingzhou today, she would never be able to say such a thing.
At least in front of the opposite sex, she has always maintained an intellectual and demure personality in order to maintain her professional image.
Especially in front of Shi Yan, she thinks that the character design can fly.
——Although it often overturns.
However, it seems that it should be regarded as an innocuous little problem, right
But today, she really felt ashamed of herself.
It's fine to say that she is "making love", but he deliberately connoted it. At that moment, she seemed to hear the sound of the carefully maintained image being broken into pieces.
Zheng Shuyi thought it would be fine if she sent this message at other times, but it happened when she was with Shi Yan.
That little bit of subtle connection made her feel that the atmosphere between the two became very indescribable.
"Send Miss Zheng home first?"
The driver in the front row asked suddenly.
"Um."
Shi Yan responded.
Zheng Shuyi still didn't speak, his fingers were on the edge of the car window, always paying attention to Shiyan's expression in Reflection.
After he got into the car, there was nothing unusual, he was looking at his phone all the time, as usual, hardly pretending that there were other people in the car.
The car drove very fast, heading towards Zheng Shuyi's house.
Soon, the gate of the community came into view.
Zheng Shuyi finally relieved the breath that was hanging in his heart.
Fortunately, Shi Yan didn't say anything to her in the car, otherwise she would really find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
As soon as the car stopped, Zheng Shuyi quickly opened the door to get out of the car.
"I'll go first, thank you."
At this moment, she was glad that she was wearing flat shoes, and she moved nimbly and slid fast.
But just after closing the car door, she heard Shi Yan calling her again.
"Zheng Shuyi."
Zheng Shuyi's heart shrank all of a sudden, pretended not to hear, and walked away.
But after a few steps, she heard footsteps behind her.
From the sixth sense, you don't even need to look to know that Shi Yan is getting off.
Zheng Shuyi was shocked, but walked even faster.
It's a pity that her behavior was too obvious, until someone grabbed her wrist, she was still struggling subconsciously.
So in the next second, she was pressed on her shoulders and pushed to the side of the tree trunk.
Shi Yan was much taller than her, looked down at her, and saw the flickering light and shadow in his glasses, which made Zheng Shuyi hold his breath suddenly.
"I'm calling you, don't you hear me?"
His tone was cold and indifferent, Zheng Shuyi felt that he seemed a little unhappy.
"I heard..."
"Then why are you in a hurry?"
Zheng Shuyi was oppressed by his gaze and was very nervous. At this moment, she just wanted to go home early and didn't know how to answer.
Shi Yan raised his eyebrows and looked down at her.
"Are you in a hurry to go home and make small cakes?"
"..."
Zheng Shuyi raised his head, and then he could see clearly that his eyes behind the lenses were obviously smiling.
"Shi Yan, you are so annoying!!"
Seeing her getting angry from embarrassment, Shi Yan let go of her hand instead, slowly withdrew her smile, turned around and walked towards the car, leaving a word.
"Take your mess away."
"..."
—
Zheng Shuyi returned home with a few shopping bags in her arms, threw herself on the bed, and stared at the ceiling thinking about life.
The phone in the bag kept vibrating, and it took her a while to take it out to look at it.
After receiving those two replies, Yue Xingzhou sent her several messages in succession.
They are a question mark and a dozen question marks.
His news is still coming in.
Yue Xingzhou: Calligraphy? what are you talking about
Yue Xingzhou: Did you drink too much
Yue Xingzhou: Are you okay
Zheng Shuyi twitched her hair irritably, poked the screen hard and typed: You must be sick! ! Disturbing people's love is struck by lightning! ! !
After sending it out, delete it and pull black for a while, Zheng Shuyi lay back on the bed again.
After a while, WeChat rang twice again.
Zheng Shuyi suddenly opened his eyes, subconsciously thinking that it was a message from Shi Yan.
She slowly reached out to touch the phone, and the conversation had already been made up in her mind.
If Shi Yan dares to implicate her in this matter again, she will reply: Yes, yes, yes, yes! Just make small cakes! Can you do it or not! If you don't do it, go away and don't bother me to do it!
Fortunately, after opening WeChat, the new news is not from Shiyan.
While Zheng Shuyi breathed a sigh of relief, the tense nerves all over his body finally relaxed. Thank goodness Xie Guangkun.
Qin Shiyue: How is it
Qin Shiyue: How is the progress today
Zheng Shuyi:
Zheng Shuyi: Don't mention it, you would never have imagined the scene today. Not only did Ben Xianyu fail to turn over, but he also stuck to TVT.
Qin Shiyue: Joke, what scene have I never seen
Qin Shiyue: Come and listen.
Zheng Shuyi: Didn’t I have dinner with him, but my ex-boyfriend suddenly sent a text message asking me what I was doing, and I replied “making love”, but he saw it.
Zheng Shuyi: Later on, he still kept thinking about me.
Qin Shiyue: I have never seen this scene before...
Qin Shiyue: If I were you, you would be embarrassed to death, hahahahaha.
Seeing Qin Shiyue's series of "hahaha", Zheng Shuyi buried his head in the pillow and got bored for a while before getting up to take a bath.
—
The next day was Sunday, Zheng Shuyi didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home and read a book, very peaceful.
On Monday afternoon, she packed her bags and headed to the airport.
There is an international forum in Wucheng this week, and Zheng Shuyi is required to go on a business trip for a week.
Wucheng is a city in the southwest, and the weather is damp and cold. As soon as Zheng Shuyi walked out of the hatch, he felt a biting cold.
Fortunately, Bi Ruoshan had already come to pick her up at the airport, and waved to her from a distance at the exit.
"Calligraphy!! Here it is!!"
The two have only met a few times since graduating from university, and every time they talk about traveling together, the plan will always be disrupted by various things.
And Wucheng is Bi Ruoshan's hometown, she came back to work after graduation, and when she learned that Zheng Shuyi was going on a business trip this time, the host arranged everything properly.
On the first night, Bi Ruoshan took her to eat local specialties.
In the noisy small restaurant, the two sat at the table on the farthest edge. After eating, all the guests who came at the same time had left, and they were still refilling drinks.
When old friends get together, there are endless things to talk about, not to mention that Zheng Shuyi has had too many things happen during this period, and once the topic is opened, he doesn't even have time to eat a few bites.
Especially when talking about Shi Yan, Bi Ruoshan was taken aback.
"Really? The president of Mingyu Bank! Do you dare?"
Zheng Shuyi: "Why don't you dare, isn't the CEO a man?"
Bi Ruoshan applauded her: "Let me tell you, if you waste your courage like this again, don't blame Liang Jingru for changing the lottery."
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
—
As dusk fell slowly, Bi Ruoshan took her to see the most distinctive riverside night scene in Wucheng.
There is no hustle and bustle of steel and concrete at night here, and it is a little more peaceful. The two stood under the lamp and took a few selfies, which ended today's small gathering.
Back at the hotel, Zheng Shuyi chose the best group photo and posted it on Moments.
"Long time no see, I miss you a little."
For the next four or five days, Zheng Shuyi had a full schedule of work during the day, and Bi Ruoshan took her around for fun.
It's just that every night, when Zheng Shuyi lays down on the bed and tries to harass Shi Yan, she will think of the little cake that night.
As a result, the chat history has been stuck a few days ago.
—
The night before leaving, Zheng Shuyi returned to the hotel after dinner.
When lying alone in the room, the windows cut off the noise from the outside, Zheng Shuyi held the phone, and slowly fell asleep amidst the entanglement of whether to send a message to Shi Yan.
Jiangcheng, thousands of miles away from Wucheng, is currently raining heavily.
The rain in winter always makes people sleepy. Even if Shi Yan is at dinner time, the partners talk a lot after drinking, and they don't quite arouse his interest.
The mobile phone on the table rang suddenly, Shi Yan took it out and took a look, it was the itinerary for next month sent to him by the secretary.
Shi Yan opened the picture and glanced at it, lacking in interest, scrolling down the WeChat list, Zheng Shuyi's cartoon avatar was particularly obvious among all the business avatars.
Shi Yan's fingers stopped here.
Suddenly, it seemed that this person had not moved for a long time.
By accident, he clicked into her circle of friends and saw a photo she updated a few days ago.
Zheng Shuyi was wrapped in a fluffy scarf and a woolen hat. Most of her face was almost covered, only her eyes were exposed, and her cheeks that were frozen red could be faintly seen.
Looking at the photo, Shi Yan's mind suddenly jumped out of the scene of her burying her face in the palm of her hand at the dinner party a few days ago.
It turned out that she was also shy.
This is the reaction when I am shy.
Shi Yan smiled silently, and his gaze finally shifted slowly to the background of the photo.
He pulled two fingers to enlarge the photo.
Behind Zheng Shuyi was an unfamiliar bridge, the outline of distant mountains could be seen in the neon lights, and all the scenery did not belong to this place of Jiangcheng.
Shi Yan looked at it for a while, exited the picture, and then noticed Zheng Shuyi's words:
Long time no see, I miss you a little.
The person beside him suddenly interrupted Shi Yan's thoughts: "Isn't this the reporter from last time?"
The person who spoke was Guan Xiangcheng.
Tonight's dinner party happened to invite Guan Xiangcheng to sit in charge.
He was sitting next to Shi Yan, and seeing that he was not interested, he looked at his phone instead, and when he glanced somewhere, he saw Zheng Shuyi's photo.
"I read her latest article two days ago, which is your interview, and it's really well written." Guan Xiangcheng said, "The little girl looks young, but her writing skills are still very sharp, and she writes better than many men. Sharper."
After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, remembering that he had faintly heard rumors about Shi Yan and an unknown actress, and asked meaningfully, "Why haven't I seen her recently?"
—
At ten o'clock in the night, Zheng Shuyi was awakened by a thunder.
She sat up dazedly.
The light outside the window is bright, the wind is quiet, and occasionally there is the sound of falling leaves.
It is winter now, as the saying goes, thunder and snow in winter.
This shows that when dawn comes, Wucheng may already be covered in silver, falling in soft snow.
Zheng Shuyi grew up in a seaside city, and later came to Jiangcheng, a place where there is no snow all year round.
At this moment, thinking of the white snow in Wucheng that Bi Ruoshan sends out every winter, Zheng Shuyi is a little moved.
Anyway, it's the weekend, so it's not impossible to stay for two more days.
As I was thinking about it, my phone rang suddenly.
Shi Yan: When will you return to Jiangcheng
Zheng Shuyi stared at the news for a long time, almost thinking that he was dreaming.
After a long time, she slowly put a question mark in the past.
Zheng Shuyi:
Shi Yan: Uncle Guan wants to see you.
