Thursday afternoon.
Bi Ruoshan: Decided to go
Zheng Shuyi: Go, Cruncher Forum, would you go instead
Bi Ruoshan: Of course I will!
Bi Ruoshan: But are you really going to a meeting or a date
Zheng Shuyi: [Grin] [Grin]
In fact, Zheng Shuyi decided to go to the Cruncher Forum on the night when Shiyan proposed it. It was only today that he had time to talk to Bi Ruoshan.
As for eating and living together, Zheng Shuyi knew that it was nothing more than Shi Yan's teasing her.
Zheng Shuyi didn't really think what he was going to do, it was the Cruncher Forum.
After talking to Bi Ruoshan, Zheng Shuyi cleaned up the table and went to Tang Yi's office to say hello.
"The Cruncher Forum?" Tang Yi was so shocked that he couldn't hold the pen steady, "Are you going? How are you going? We don't have any quota this year."
Zheng Shuyi touched his nose and whispered, "Shi Yan will take me there."
"Shiyan?" The pen in Tang Yi's hand dropped off the table, "He took you there?"
Zheng Shuyi nodded: "Yes, that's what you heard."
Tang Yi looked at Zheng Shuyi from head to toe, and then from foot to head, which made Zheng Shuyi feel nervous.
"Then... you go..." Tang Yi waved to her, but when Zheng Shuyi turned around, she stopped her again, "Wait, why did Shi Yan take you there? What's your relationship with him?"
Zheng Shuyi turned around and saw that Tang Yi's index fingers were aligned, "Is that kind of relationship?"
This action is quite cute, Zheng Shuyi burst out laughing, "If you want to ask, ask carefully, what little action?"
Tang Yi withdrew his hand and said seriously: "So?"
Zheng Shuyi sighed, pursed his lips, and shook his head slightly.
She wanted to say "Not yet", but before she opened her mouth, Tang Yi said, "It's against me, just say how is it possible."
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
Tang Yi waved his hand: "Okay, then you go, remember to go to OA to approve the leave."
With half an hour left before get off work, Zheng Shuyi turned off the computer, packed up his things and prepared to go home.
"Where are you going?" Kong Nan glanced at the time, "Is there a mission?"
When Kong Nan asked, Qin Shiyue also looked up, and a eagerness to leave work early emerged from her eyes.
"You can't leave early." Zheng Shuyi pointed to her forehead, and then turned to talk to Kong Nan, "I have something to do, so I asked for a day off."
Kong Nan asked casually, "What's the matter?"
The cubicles in the office area are next to each other. Zheng Shuyi didn't want to publicize this, so he said casually: "My dad is on vacation, come and see me, and I will play with her for a few days."
Originally, the past few days were not very busy, so Kong Nan didn't think much about it.
Zheng Shuyi took a taxi home before the rush hour, had a simple dinner, and then packed the luggage for the trip.
Since it wasn't long, Zheng Shuyi turned a small 20-inch box out, packed two changes of clothes and daily necessities, and sent a message to Shi Yan.
Zheng Shuyi: I'm ready!
Zheng Shuyi: When are we going to leave
Shi Yan: Go downstairs, the driver will pick you up.
Zheng Shuyi immediately pulled the suitcase and went out.
Before he walked out of the community, he saw the shining Rolls Royce parked on the side of the road.
The suitcase made a grunting sound on the stone road. Zheng Shuyi walked quickly, walked out of the gate of the community, and was about to cross the road when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
"Calligraphy!"
The voice sounded strange at first, but after careful identification, it felt very familiar.
Zheng Shuyi turned around.
The security booth turned on the searchlight, Yue Xingzhou stood in the dark light, his hair was yellowish by the light, and a few strands hung on his forehead.
It looks a little downcast.
Zheng Shuyi only took one look, and was about to step forward, Yue Xingzhou immediately ran two steps forward and grabbed her.
"what?!"
Zheng Shuyi wanted to shake off his hand, but the difference in strength was too great, it was useless.
Yue Xingzhou clenched his hands tighter and tighter, "I... have been waiting here for you, and I want to tell you something."
"But I don't want to listen to you." Zheng Shuyi glanced at the opposite car and said impatiently, "Let me go, I have something to do!"
"Give me a few minutes, Shuyi." His voice trembled a little, and the hand holding Zheng Shuyi became hot, and his eyes were full of persistence.
"You..." Zheng Shuyi stopped struggling.
It's not that I'm soft-hearted, I just don't want to make too much trouble on the street.
"Okay, I'll give you two minutes, talk quickly if you have something to say."
As usual, Zheng Shuyi got straight to the point, but Yue Xingzhou appeared hesitant to speak.
It wasn't until Zheng Shuyi lifted it up in one breath and was about to leave again that he hurriedly said, "Have you got a boyfriend?"
Zheng Shuyi suddenly stopped, and looked at Yue Xingzhou puzzled: "What's the matter with you?"
Yue Xingzhou frowned into the word "Chuan", as if the next words were very difficult to say.
"You can make a new boyfriend, I'm not qualified to control, but... you... Are you with a married man..."
Ai Ai couldn't say a complete sentence every now and then, as if he was heartbroken.
"are you crazy?!"
Zheng Shuyi laughed angrily at his sage-like appearance, "I thought I had the same hobbies as yours?! Sorry, that disappointed you all."
She thought it was funny that Qin Lezhi and Yue Xingzhou were both bitches. Instead, she erected a towering archway to educate her.
Do you think your face doesn't hurt enough
Yue Xingzhou froze in a daze, not knowing how to answer the question for a moment.
Last night, Qin Lezhi faintly revealed to him that Zheng Shuyi seemed to be very close to the chief financial officer of their company, and he talked about some details sporadically.
From Yue Xingzhou's point of view, he felt that Qin Lezhi didn't need to slander Zheng Shuyi.
But in the end, he had doubts, so today he secretly came here to wait for Zheng Shuyi behind Qin Lezhi's back.
"Yue Xingzhou, do you think you're kind?" Zheng Shuyi tightly held the handle of the suitcase to prevent himself from slapping it, and from time to time, he had to watch the movement of Shiyan's car, "Admonish me You wash yourself first! Get out of the way! People are waiting for me, I have no time to chat with you here!"
Because Zheng Shuyi frequently looked over there, Yue Xingzhou naturally discovered the existence of that car.
How could he not recognize that sign, that license plate.
"he… "
Seeing him staring at the car, Zheng Shuyi couldn't help but roll his eyes, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a luxury car?"
Yue Xingzhou looked back and forth between Zheng Shuyi and the car opposite, and said hesitantly: "He is not...you..."
"Yes, that's my serious prospective boyfriend."
Zheng Shuyi shook his head, "What, you have to take care of this?"
Yue Xingzhou was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a while, he spit out a few words in disbelief: "Shu Yi, why, why did you..."
"What's the matter? We are in love with each other, and you need to approve it?"
After finishing speaking, Zheng Shuyi didn't bother to talk to him at all, and just walked away.
Yue Xingzhou's words fell like a heavy hammer.
"Shuyi, are you taking revenge on me?"
Zheng Shuyi's footsteps stopped, and he was stunned for a moment, before slowly turning his head, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "Yue Xingzhou, you think too highly of yourself."
She paused, and then said: "Oh, but you really have to call me little aunt sooner or later. We will be relatives in the future. You'd better show respect to your elders, and don't gossip about you at every turn."
After speaking, she pulled the suitcase and went straight to the opposite side.
Yue Xingzhou watched helplessly as the driver came down and opened the door for her, and then moved the suitcase to the trunk.
For a long time after that, Yue Xingzhou stood motionless at the gate of the community, watching the car drive away with the taillights flickering and the dust rising, and the phrase "little aunt" was still echoing in his mind.
—
However, Shi Yan was not in the car.
"There's always something to do. It's past noon today." The driver said, "I'll take you there."
After being pestered by Yue Xingzhou for a while, Zheng Shuyi was already in a bad mood, but after knowing this, his mood became even more depressed.
She thought Shi Yan went there with her.
"Well, I see, thank you."
She responded, then leaned against the car window and said nothing.
Fucheng is not far away, a three-hour drive, but it is the most convenient to drive directly.
The driver was bored on the road, so he found a topic to chat with her, and found that she was not very natural, so he shut up and played soft music for her.
Zheng Shuyi fell asleep and woke up, woke up and slept again, the journey went smoothly, and finally arrived at the hotel at ten o'clock in the evening.
After the driver accompanied her to check in, the hotel lobby manager personally brought Zheng Shuyi to the room.
Since Shi Yan offered to bring Zheng Shuyi over, his secretary naturally booked the hotel, and Zheng Shuyi received a text message two days ago.
Living in this suite alone was also expected by Zheng Shuyi.
If he really lived in one room, then he wouldn't be Shi Yan.
It's just that she was a little curious about where Shi Yan was.
Zheng Shuyi: I'm at the hotel!
Two minutes later.
Zheng Shuyi: Where are you
These two messages were like sinking into the sea, and there has been no response.
After Zheng Shuyi sat in the hotel for half an hour, he finally felt restless.
In fact, when she stood alone in the strange city of Fucheng, she felt a little lonely.
Shi Yan obviously wanted to bring her here, but left her alone in the hotel.
Besides——
Zheng Shuyi rubbed his belly.
She didn't even have to eat dinner!
—
At this moment, in the smoky private room, after drinking for three rounds, there are still waiters who keep changing the dishes and adding new wine.
In the past two days, people in the industry from all over the world gathered in Fucheng, so it was inevitable that some people would jump out to socialize.
During the banquet, toasts were exchanged, cups were pushed and changed, topics continued, olive branches were exchanged everywhere, and everyone was overwhelmed.
All the people here are heavyweights, more or less have interests, no one will be distracted at this time.
It wasn't until after ten o'clock, when someone went out to use the bathroom during the dinner, that Shi Yan took the time to ask Chen Sheng and Zheng Shuyi if they were there.
Chen Sheng nodded towards him.
Raising his eyes, Shi Yan responded to the words of a partner on the opposite side, and at the same time glanced at the phone.
In the past hour, Zheng Shuyi sent him several messages intermittently.
Zheng Shuyi: Alas, some people are feasting, while others are starving.
Zheng Shuyi: I have no problem, I can do it.
At this moment, the waiter next to him added wine to the glass in front of him.
Shi Yan quickly typed two words: busy.
Then, put down the phone.
"Sorry." Shi Yan stood up suddenly, his voice interrupted the conversation of the person opposite, "I have something to do, excuse me first."
After speaking, he raised his glass and drank the newly added wine, then turned and walked out of the box.
There were few people in the corridor, and Shi Yan was talking to Chen Sheng with his head tilted, when he suddenly ran into the person who had gone to the bathroom earlier.
This person has a good relationship with Shi Yan in private, and his speech is much more casual.
It's just that he was a little drunk at this time, and his footsteps were unsteady. Seeing that Shi Yan had left the table, he asked, "Have you left?"
Shi Yan said yes, "There is something."
The man asked again: "What's the matter?"
Shi Yan glanced at the elevator, with a calm expression: "Hey cat."
"What?" The man thought he was drinking too much and heard it wrong, "You brought a cat with you on a business trip? So clingy?"
Shi Yan didn't want to entangle with him again, so he walked forward, but he didn't forget to answer his words.
"Well, it's a bit fierce. I'm going to scratch people when I'm hungry."
—
As the Spring Festival approaches, even though it is late at night, the streets of Fucheng are still full of trees and stars, and many people are reluctant to go home early despite the cold wind.
Chen Sheng knew that Shi Yan drank a lot of alcohol today, so he deliberately reminded the driver to drive slowly.
"Need not."
Shi Yan sat in the back row, looked down at his phone, and said casually, "Normal speed is fine."
After speaking, he dialed Zheng Shuyi's phone number.
"what are you doing?"
There was some noise on the other end of the phone, and Zheng Shuyi's impatient voice came.
"I'm having a good time!"
Shi Yan glanced at the phone screen and asked again: "What did you say?"
"I said, I'm having a good time!"
Immediately, Zheng Shuyi hung up the phone.
——Roadside barbecue restaurant, the road is placed at the door, cumin is sprinkled, and the fire is roasted. The aroma stimulates the most primitive taste buds, and it is really carefree.
But Zheng Shuyi never thought that he would stay outdoors for so long, wearing a pencil skirt and exposing his calves to the wind would not be so happy.
"Add more peppers." Zheng Shuyi stretched out his hand, pointing at the fire while warming up, "Don't, don't, don't want green onions!"
She lasted until almost eleven o'clock, but she didn't wait for Shi Yan's response, and she was so hungry that she was so hungry that she realized why she was waiting for Shi Yan like an abandoned woman.
So one turned over, put on a coat and came out to look for food.
Perhaps she was lucky, and she smelled a tangy fragrance within a few steps of walking out of the hotel.
After looking for the scent, I found a barbecue stall with a very good business.
Hearing the sound of the stove and the commotion around, Zheng Shuyi's index finger moved so much that he couldn't walk anymore.
It's just that when she was waiting for the barbecue here, the men at the table drinking and fisting looked at her several times.
In the middle of the night, when the drunkenness was on the rise, as soon as a few people shook it, someone really got on the edge.
Zheng Shuyi was standing there, when a man in unlined clothes stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.
"Is something wrong?"
Zheng Shuyi looked back at him.
The man has a fleshy face, and there are scary-looking tattoos on his hands. When he smiles, his flesh is so crowded that his eyes can't see it.
"Is the beauty alone?"
Zheng Shuyi ignored him and leaned to the side.
"Let's go together." The man tugged at her sleeve, "It's cold, let's have a warm drink together."
"No thanks."
Zheng Shuyi patted his hand away, and continued to lean to the side.
But he didn't want that when they were talking, the other two men at that table also walked over, blocking Zheng Shuyi's retreat.
The whole body is full of the smell of alcohol that can't even cover the choking smell of smoke. It is inexplicably disgusting to be smoked by the fire.
"Is the beauty out to play alone?"
"To save face for my brother, let's eat supper together and call a friend."
"That's right, it's still early, let's eat and sing together."
These people were probably ruffians. The owner of the barbecue shop took a look and wanted to persuade him, but he was afraid that there would be trouble in the evening, so he finally forgot it, so he had to pack Zheng Shuyi's barbecue quickly.
"Girl, your things are ready."
Zheng Shuyi didn't bother to pay attention to this group of people, took the takeaway box and left.
But surrounded by groups.
"Don't go, we said we'll make friends together, sit down first."
Someone went straight to grab something in her hand, Zheng Shuyi turned sideways and got angry.
"you--"
"Go away."
Halfway through Zheng Shuyi's words, he suddenly froze.
That voice just now...
When she turned her head, Shi Yan was standing half a meter away from the shop.
The light flickered with the unstable electric frequency, shining on Shi Yan's eyes sometimes coldly, sometimes dimly.
Like an invisible pressure, the people around Zheng Shuyi naturally retreated.
Zheng Shuyi was still there in a daze, Shi Yan glanced down at the take-out box she was holding tightly, frowned indescribably, and pulled her away.
After walking a few steps, those men finally realized.
"Who the hell are you—"
Shi Yan turned his head and glanced over, the person who made the sound automatically shut his mouth, and even took two steps back in fear.
No need to speak, the sense of oppression from different classes catalyzed the spontaneous sense of fear.
—
All the way without words.
Zheng Shuyi was held tightly by Shi Yan.
He has long legs and big strides, and he doesn't seem to care whether Zheng Shuyi can keep up, just striding towards the hotel.
Zheng Shuyi staggered all the way, and became angry.
Called her to Fucheng, but left her alone, didn't even show her face, sent a message and waited for a long time, only to reply "busy".
Suddenly appeared at this moment, dragged her away with a dead face, and didn't say a word, Zheng Shuyi became more and more angry.
Until entering the elevator, Zheng Shuyi broke away from Shi Yan's hand, rubbed his wrist, and said dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing!"
Shi Yan looked down at her, his tone was colder than the wind outside.
"What are you doing alone at night?"
"I'm going out to find something to eat."
Zheng Shuyi shook the barbecue box in front of him, "Is this all right?"
Shi Yan: "Need to dress like this to find something to eat?"
Zheng Shuyi looked down at her clothes, except for the short skirt, everything looked good.
"What do I wear? Doesn't it look good? You don't even care about that?"
She got angry, and the sound was like a small machine gun, which was heard in her ears and scratched like a cat's paw.
"It's pretty." Shi Yan looked at Zheng Shuyi with a cold face, but hooked the corners of his lips, and his voice suddenly became hoarse, "Don't you know how attractive I am? Who will cause trouble if I go out like this at night?"
Zheng Shuyi didn't answer, but looked up at Shi Yan.
After a moment of silence, there was a sly smile in her eyes.
"Are you praising me or scolding me?" She asked with a smile, "Then, did I recruit you?"
Shi Yan pursed his lips and stared at her for a long time.
It was so long that Zheng Shuyi smelled the faint smell of alcohol on his body.
Strangely, the same smell of alcohol, at this moment, Zheng Shuyi didn't find it unpleasant.
I don't know if it's because of the alcohol, but Zheng Shuyi felt that Shi Yan's eyes hidden behind the lenses had a sudden light flickering.
Like a turbulent undercurrent in a calm sea.
The elevator door closed slowly, as if to isolate the world except the two of them.
Something indescribable was surging in this elevator.
Zheng Shuyi's heartbeat suddenly became heavy.
She stretched out her index finger and carefully poked Shi Yan's chest.
"You can answer after you think about it."
Suddenly, the index finger was held down by a warm hand, and immediately after, the entire palm was pressed against his chest by Shi Yan.
Shi Yan's gaze slowly wandered over Zheng Shuyi's face, sweeping over the position just below the tip of her nose.
Because the cramped space was airtight, it seemed that the distance between the two was even more minimal.
In Zheng Shuyi's eyes, Shi Yan's face was getting closer and closer until his alcohol-smelling breath touched her lips.
"Don't you know if you feel it?"
After speaking, he tilted his head slightly, so that the distance between their lips disappeared.
The air in the elevator seemed to be exhausted at this moment.
It's so thin it's hypoxic.
——Even if he just tasted it, he sucked her lips.
Like teasing, without attacking the city, the wet touch outlined between the lips and teeth, and it was fleeting.
He looked up, his eyes were black as abysses.
Then he pressed Zheng Shuyi's hand and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"
The consciousness has not returned, and it can only grasp the most superficial feelings.
Zheng Shuyi didn't feel his heart beating wildly.
I just felt that my heart was about to jump out of my throat.
