After Zheng Shuyi finished speaking, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but Shi Yan, who was leaning on her, stopped moving.
After a long time, he sighed deeply.
It's really a bit...
Walking on the brink of collapse.
Zheng Shuyi waved his hand in a daze, and easily pushed him away.
Shi Yan took advantage of the situation and sat next to her, watching helplessly as she didn't get up for a long time, and didn't help her.
Zheng Shuyi was a little limp all over, and her mind was dizzy. Shi Yan didn't help her, and she wasn't annoyed. After putting on her shoes, she bent down and walked towards the bathroom by herself, leaning on the wall.
"Then I'm going to take a shower."
Shi Yan sat on the sofa, his eyes followed her back, a little helpless, but unconsciously bent the corners of his lips.
After Zheng Shuyi drank some wine, he became very docile and reasonable.
It's a little different from usual, like a normal person.
But it's a bit uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, Shi Yan wondered if he had a bit of a masochistic potential.
He leaned his head back on the sofa, closed his eyes for a nap, but touched his lips uncontrollably with his fingers, trying to recall the charm that had not completely disappeared.
The sound of water soon came from the bathroom, Shi Yanfu opened his eyes again, looked in the direction of the bathroom, and loosened his tie.
—
After Zheng Shuyi took a shower and dried her hair, her top-heavy feeling improved a bit, but she was so sleepy that she almost couldn't open her eyes.
She walked out slowly in her pajamas, and Shi Yan was still at her home.
He just sat on the sofa, as quiet as if he was asleep.
Zheng Shuyi paused for a moment, then slowly approached the sofa, and called softly, "Shi Yan?"
nothing happened.
Zheng Shuyi reached out and poked his cheek, "Shi Yan? Are you asleep?"
The man remained motionless, breathing calmly and long.
Zheng Shuyi stood up and plucked her hair, "Then do what you want, I'll go to bed first."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and was caught by her fingers.
Immediately after he exerted his strength, Zheng Shuyi was pulled back.
She knew that Shi Yan hadn't fallen asleep, she was just a little tired, and she didn't open her eyes until now.
Zheng Shuyi sat next to him, tucked his legs together, put his hands on his knees, and put on a business-like appearance.
"Shi Yan, I drank wine today and thought a lot. I might have a lot to talk about later. Don't think I'm annoying."
Shi Yan let out a "hmm".
"When did you talk less?"
"..."
Zheng Shuyi was a little annoyed at his eccentricity, "I'm telling you the truth, it seems that you are cuter after drinking."
Shi Yan: "Well, you too."
"What do you mean?" Zheng Shuyi didn't feel that Shi Yan was praising him at all, "You don't think I'm usually cute?"
Shi Yan opened his eyes with a relaxed expression, without even looking at the person beside him.
"Cute too."
In Zheng Shuyi's ears, the phrase "cute too" is equivalent to "then I have no conscience to praise you cute?"
Compliments with indifference, just like Shi Yan.
Zheng Shuyi really misses the banquet when he drank too much.
But Shi Yan didn't wait for the next sentence, slowly sat up straight, rubbed his neck, and said casually: "You say."
Zheng Shuyi was sleepy and didn't want to waste any more time, so he cut to the chase.
"I wanted to tell you before I took a shower, but you interrupted me..."
Shi Yan bent his elbows and propped himself up on the sofa behind Zheng Shuyi's head, half-curling the corners of his lips, smiling a little waveringly.
"I interrupted? Are you sure?"
Zheng Shuyi felt guilty, lowered his eyes and straightened his hair, without changing his face: "It doesn't matter who interrupted, anyway, I just want to tell you——"
She raised her head, trying to hold on to her sleepiness, and the soft light shone in her hazy eyes.
At this time, Shi Yan adjusted his sitting posture, feeling that the room was a bit stuffy, and was about to stand up and open the window.
"I really like you."
"It has nothing to do with any script."
"Although my purpose was not pure in the beginning, you know that, and I don't know how to do it..."
"Anyway, I really like you now, you."
After finishing speaking, Zheng Shuyi looked at Shi Yan nervously.
This can be regarded as her serious confession, although it is a bit incoherent.
I don't know how Shi Banquet will respond.
Shi Yan turned his head slowly, his burning eyes fell on Zheng Shuyi's face, even the tenderness was hot.
In a daze, Zheng Shuyi felt that this didn't look like him anymore.
However, when he opened his mouth, it was still a banquet.
"Oh? How do you prove it?"
Zheng Shuyi: "...how do I prove this? Do you want me to dig out my heart and show you?"
Shi Yan seemed to be thinking seriously.
Zheng Shuyi became even more nervous, because he was drunk, he looked a little dazed.
After a long time, Shi Yan tilted his head.
"If one day I go bankrupt, will you make money to support me?"
His expression was too serious, he didn't look like he was joking at all, so Zheng Shuyi didn't know whether it was himself or Shi Yan who was drunk.
"That's it?"
"Do you think it's easy to raise me?" Shi Yan smiled, "I'm not easy to raise, I can't afford to spend on food and clothing."
"..."
Zheng Shuyi: "Do you mean to eat soft rice?"
"Huh?" Shi Yan raised his eyebrows, "My stomach is not very good, what's wrong with eating soft rice?"
"..."
There's nothing to talk about.
"I'm telling you seriously, why are you so naive." Zheng Shuyi stood up with disgust on his face, "I'm going to sleep."
Shi Yan: "So early?"
"Yes, I have to go to work tomorrow." Zheng Shuyi moved towards the room step by step.
"Otherwise how will I support you?"
"..."
Seeing that there was no movement at Shi Yan, Zheng Shuyi really entered the room, with the door half-closed, and got into bed.
After a long time, footsteps finally came from the living room.
Shi Yan stood by the bed, watching her silently.
Zheng Shuyi turned off the light, and could only see the outline of Shiyan clearly through the moonlight seeping in from the window.
And his eyes are always bright in the dark.
After staring at each other for a while, Zheng Shuyi slowly pulled up the quilt to cover half of his face.
"I... the bed is too small to fit two people."
Shi Yan gave her a cool look.
"As I said, I will pay for food and clothing."
Zheng Shuyi: "?"
Shi Yan: "I can't sleep on this pink bed sheet."
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
She snorted coldly and turned her back to him.
Then, Shi Yan lowered his head and looked at Zheng Shuyi's back. The moonlight shone dimly on her body, reflecting her deep anxiety.
In fact, every word she said tonight was a stone in her heart.
Be it guilt, uneasiness, or apprehension, they wrapped her up layer by layer.
It wasn't the alcohol that made her docile tonight, it was the emotions.
Thinking forward and backward, being cautious, this is not Zheng Shuyi in Shi Yan's heart.
All kinds of behaviors on weekdays, no matter whether she is acting or from the bottom of her heart, she is not like a normal woman.
But Shi Yan likes it.
He loves it.
It's the kind of pure hormonal love a man has for a woman.
――I want to touch, I want to kiss, I want to do everything a man and a woman should do.
He liked it so much that he was willing to be led by her by the nose, even when the lie was exposed, he still couldn't escape her shackles.
But now Zheng Shuyi began to show his true emotions to him little by little.
Based on the love between men and women, there is more distress.
Probably really masochistic.
He was the one who was deceived, but he felt sorry for Zheng Shuyi.
Even those insecurities brought to her by others, he also wanted to heal her a little bit, and he could only heal her.
After a long silence, Shi Yan finally spoke.
"Shuyi." Knowing that Zheng Shuyi was up, he didn't wait for her to respond, "Those things have already passed by me, so they have passed by in your heart, understand?"
Zheng Shuyi didn't speak.
Shi Yan leaned closer and put his arm on Zheng Shuyi's side.
The figure melted into the night, and Zheng Shuyi stared straight at his silhouette through the floor-to-ceiling windows beside the window.
"Zheng Shuyi, you are my girlfriend. You have nothing to do with others. You are the girlfriend I want. There is no other reason, no script, and no difference from other couples."
Finally, a small sound came from the bed.
"That's still a difference..."
Zheng Shuyi looked at the blurred Shi Yan on the glass, but could clearly and deeply feel his presence.
"Other boyfriends don't call girlfriends by their full names."
"..."
After a while, Zheng Shuyi's cheeks brushed with hot air.
Shi Yan whispered in her ear.
"Go to sleep, Yiyi."
—
The city is still full of traffic late at night, and planes flashing lights across the sky, embellishing the dark night with starlight.
When Shi Yan stopped at the intersection of traffic lights, his cell phone rang several times without stopping.
Generally, this situation is not a good thing.
He opened it casually and glanced at it, only to find that it was the ten voice messages from Zheng Shuyi who said he was going to sleep.
Shi Yan pressed play.
The green light turned on, the car started up again, and Zheng Shuyi's voice sounded in the car.
"Is it lonely driving late at night?"
"Shuyi Radio will accompany you."
"Does this listener want to hear a story or order a song?"
"Our radio station is relatively poor, and there is only one song that can be played."
"Just let the host sing for you."
"Ahem, it's about to start."
——"Is it my first love again~"
——"It's impossible for me to have my first love again~"
——"But really, really first love~"
――“This kind of feel~”
"..."
—
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday, and there was a light rain in the early morning.
Zheng Shuyi hung the umbrella on the balcony of the company to drain water, and when she came back, Kong Nan gave her a look.
"what's wrong?"
Zheng Shuyi asked casually while turning on the computer.
"That..." Kong Nan looked around. Although there were not many people, the office was never airtight. She always felt that whatever she said would be spread, so she said, "I'll send you a WeChat message."
"Why are you so mysterious."
As soon as Zheng Shuyi picked up the phone, Tang Yi walked up to her and knocked on her desk, "Come to my office."
"Oh well."
Zheng Shuyi immediately got up and followed Tang Yi.
After closing the door, Tang Yi sat behind the desk and took off his coat a little irritably.
"You're in love, right?"
"Yes." Zheng Shuyi nodded, "I told you that day, I won't participate in the company's fellowship."
"There are so many friendships every day, and I don't run a marriage agency."
Tang Yi put down his phone, collected his expression, and said solemnly, "I have something to tell you."
"First of all, I'm not prying into your privacy, but even though we are superiors and subordinates, we are so familiar. I usually treat you as a friend. You were in a bad state a while ago, and you cried a lot in the company. , Was it broken love at that time?"
It's a bit embarrassing to say, but Zheng Shuyi didn't deny it.
"Well... sort of..."
Tang Yin pursed his lips, looked around with his eyeballs, and said, "Now you have a boyfriend again?"
"Um."
Tang Yi's complexion became more and more ugly.
"Let me tell you clearly, many colleagues have seen you getting into your boyfriend's car after get off work these days. Is that your boyfriend's car?"
In the past few days, she did take Shi Yan's car to get off work.
But he only showed up once, and other times he was not free, and he just arranged for a driver to pick her up and go home.
Zheng Shuyi thought it was too high-profile, so every time she told the driver not to drive directly downstairs to the company, but to stop at an intersection diagonally opposite, and she walked over by herself.
But she didn't expect that such behavior would become a deliberate cover-up in the eyes of those with a heart.
But looking at Tang Yi's expression now, Zheng Shuyi already had a guess without saying anything.
"Why, what rumors are there in the company?"
"Anyway, such rumors are not uncommon." Tang Yi also laid the groundwork first, "It means that you have made an amazing boyfriend."
Zheng Shuyi laughed dryly.
"Yeah, so what."
Her boyfriend is pretty amazing.
The problem lies in the voice Qin Shiyue said on the phone, "Are you with my uncle?!"
Xu Yuling was no stranger to Qin Shiyue's voice, she could hear it.
And everyone in the company knew that Qin Shiyue was a rich second generation, and coming here for an internship was just for fun.
Qin Shiyue is in his twenties, and his uncle must be in his fifties or sixties
At first she also wondered, isn't Zheng Shuyi with Shi Yan? Why did he become Qin Shiyue's uncle again
Thinking about it later, it may be replaced.
As a result, this matter was passed on to two, and then to three, and gradually spread among various small groups in the company.
Tang Yi also has ears, so he has heard about it.
In fact, even if this matter is true, it is someone else's private matter, and Tang Yi has no right to manage it.
But just like what she said, we have known each other for several years, and we usually treat them as friends. If you think about it in depth, it is definitely not something worth promoting.
To put it bluntly, I found an older boyfriend.
To put it bluntly, who knows if he has a wife.
Besides, the position of deputy editor-in-chief has been vacant recently, but it is not pending. Everyone knows who the candidate is.
At this time, some romantic scandals directly ignited the desire for gossip in the whole company.
Tang Yi asked: "It's nothing to have a boyfriend, I just heard that your boyfriend is quite old?"
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
Sure enough, she knew it.
Tang Yi's question was tactful, but it contained too much information, only a fool would not be able to understand it.
Feeling suffocated, Zheng Shuyi threw the phone onto the desk with a "crack", which made the head of the desk buzz.
Tang Yi: "Hey, don't get angry with this place, just tell me in private, is it true?"
"How many times have I said it, if I had that thought, why should I wait until today?"
Old and young, tall and short, ugly and handsome, married and unmarried, she has had too many opportunities after getting in touch.
If she really wanted to rely on this to make a comeback, how could she still be renting a house now.
Zheng Shu smiled angrily, and pulled his hair out, "And my boyfriend is a bit older, so you have to call me sister when he sees Editor-in-Chief Tang."
Tang Yi: "..."
How do you feel that you are suddenly attacked by age.
Anyway, what Zheng Shuyi said, Tang Yi has no reason not to believe it.
"Okay, I won't ask about your personal affairs. It's not a big deal after all. If it's a misunderstanding, it will always be solved. We are not afraid of the shadow."
Although Tang Yi was so relieved, Zheng Shuyi was still speechless when he walked out of the office.
During these years in the industry, amidst all kinds of sex scandals, Zheng Shuyi has long seen an invisible springboard in the circle.
They are female financial reporters, and they can't write articles if they don't have something in their stomachs, let alone communicate with the bigwigs in the financial circle.
And many high-ranking people prefer such women, who are talented and knowledgeable, and if they are a little bit more beautiful, that would be great.
It not only satisfies lust, but also shows that he is a person who values connotation.
This kind of thing happens a lot, and everyone is not surprised.
Some people simply tore off their faces, so as to fly up to the branches and break away from their original lives.
And more people work like walking on eggshells, keeping a safe distance with trepidation, for fear that they will cross the boundary, and even if they have ten mouths, they will not be able to match the colored glasses of others.
But in many cases, even some male journalists who are "unappreciated for their talents" do not have the ability themselves. When they see other female colleagues holding front-line resources, they will say the words "gender advantage" in a sour and contemptuous tone.
"What did the editor-in-chief tell you?"
As soon as Zheng Shuyi returned to his work station, Kong Nan came up to him, "Are you talking about your boyfriend?"
Zheng Shuyi glanced at her: "You heard about it too? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"When I got into the elevator this morning, I also heard the two men in the next group pushing, but—"
Kong Nan patted Zheng Shuyi's shoulder, "I don't believe a word."
Zheng Shuyi raised his eyebrows: "So trust me?"
"I don't believe in you." Kong Nan said, "I just believe in a principle of face control."
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
Kong Nan: "Unless that uncle grows up to be like Andy Lau."
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
For some reason, Zheng Shuyi lost his temper when Kong Nan interrupted her like this.
In other words, she didn't pay much attention to it at first.
"So who is your boyfriend?"
Kong Nan came over eagerly and asked, "Is it from our industry?"
Zheng Shuyi thought for a while: "Well, you should have heard of him."
Kong Nan: "Who is it?"
Zheng Shuyi: "A Banquet of Time."
Kong Nan: "...?"
She shook her finger, "Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding you."
Zheng Shuyi looked at the phone he had dropped with distress, "Do you believe that I am calling him right now in front of you?"
Kong Nan was stunned for a long time, but he was not so surprised when he remembered that Zheng Shuyi had indeed done an exclusive interview with Shi Yan.
"I believe, I believe, I believe devoutly."
Zheng Shuyi lay on his stomach halfway, and yawned.
She hadn't thought about publicizing who her boyfriend was, but she didn't want to cover it up, making Shi Yan seem ashamed.
In a petri dish where gossip is bred, struggling to defend yourself is often an endless loop, and it is not as effective as Tang Yi said, "You are not afraid of crooked shadows when you are upright."
Otherwise, it would be tantamount to being led by the nose by someone with a heart and jumping into a pit by herself. She has seen too many such examples.
The day passed without incident.
In the afternoon, when Zheng Shuyi was resting, he propped his chin and sent a message to Shi Yan.
Zheng Shuyi: It's the weekend, I wonder if Mr. Shi is free tonight
After careful calculation, they haven't had a serious date yet.
Time Banquet: No time.
Zheng Shuyi: "..."
boring life.
Zheng Shuyi: Then what are you going to do
Shi Yan: I want to accompany my girlfriend.
Seeing Zheng Shuyi smirking at the phone, Kong Nan frowned in disgust, and moved the chair away quietly.
—
When it was time to get off work, Zheng Shuyi abnormally packed his things and prepared to leave immediately.
It's a pity that when I reached the door, I was called back by a girl from the finance department.
The reimbursement for her previous business trip to the United States has not yet come down, and there are some problems with the posted invoices, which need to be checked again.
This delay was more than half an hour.
Shi Yan's car was very recognizable in the parking space downstairs. Zheng Shuyi stood in the lobby on the first floor, straightened his clothes facing the door, and then walked over step by step.
Although she was very happy inside, she tried her best to walk out with a dignified pace.
The door opened, but the back seat was empty.
"Where are people?"
The driver didn't know too well, and didn't report to Shi Yan when he got off the car just now.
Zheng Shuyi didn't get in the car, and stood by the car door to call Shi Yan.
After waiting for a while, after the other party connected, she bent down and leaned into the car, and said, "Where are you?"
The voice was sweet, but she was looking under the car seat.
Probably because of his addiction to drama, Zheng Shuyi even lifted the car mat, pretending to be looking for it.
"Where is my boyfriend? It's easy for me to find."
Then I took a look at the armrest box in the middle of the seat, "Oh, there's nothing here either."
"..."
Shi Yan stood behind her, holding the phone, and suddenly had the urge to turn around and leave.
