Since the fact that Xiaoyan broke the fact that she was writing a novel last time, Xu Chuanchuan has lived in fear every day. She has already placed a new order online to buy a keyboard that is said to be ultra-quiet, but the goods have not arrived yet, so she temporarily uses her mobile phone to code.
Although it does not feel very good, the advantages of using a mobile phone to code words are quite obvious. You can code while standing, sitting, or lying down. As long as no one interferes, you can do it anytime and anywhere.
In addition to reading novels, Xu Chuanchuan discovered that Xiaoyan and her have a common hobby, which is eating.
The difference is that Xiaoyan likes to eat probably because she is still growing, Xu Chuanchuan is simply because... She has a big stomach.
Lying conscience is still a little uneasy, so Xu Chuanchuan donated the bag of snacks she bought from the supermarket to eat with Xiaoyan.
Xiaoyan didn't laugh at her for eating too much, but comforted her by saying, "You're so good, no matter how much you eat, you won't grow meat, and others won't be envious."
Xu Chuanchuan was very useful when he heard it, and said frankly: "Actually, I will still grow flesh. My flesh grows up to my waist, and the clothes cover you and you can't see it."
Xiaoyan glanced at her waist, then looked at her thin arms and legs, and said, "You always sit and don't exercise, and you will grow meat even if you don't eat."
Xu Chuanchuan stunned: "You're right."
Xiaoyan nibbled the salt-baked chicken feet and said casually, "You haven't been busy these days and nights, have you finished writing your thesis?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Xu Chuanchuan's eyes, and he said ambiguously, "Well... it's not every day that you can receive a job."
Xiaoyan didn't ask any more questions, she wiped the oil from her mouth and said, "I'm tired of eating, let's try something else."
"Eat ice cream."
"Okay, one person per person." There was still a lot of ice cream left for Murong Shi's help last time. Xiaoyan just opened the refrigerator when something slipped out. She picked it up and looked at it, "Snail noodles? What's this for? "
Xu Chuanchuan glanced back and said, "It seems to be a special snack in Guangxi. My sister gave it to me."
Xiaoyan became interested, looked at the packaging bag repeatedly, and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Xu Chuanchuan shrugged: "I don't know. My sister said it was delicious, but I haven't eaten it."
There are stars in Xiaoyan's eyes: "Then why don't you eat it?"
"Because this thing has to be boiled with water, I don't have a pot."
Xu Xiangxiang took five packs for her at once. Xu Chuanchuan thought that these things took up space. He almost threw them away when he moved last time, but after thinking about it, he was not willing.
Xiaoyan looked at the bag of fans thoughtfully.
Also a foodie, Xu Chuanchuan saw through Xiaoyan's thoughts at a glance: "Do you want to eat?"
Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "It looks delicious. There is my favorite yuba in it."
"But we don't have a pot."
Xiaoyan had an idea and said, "I have a way."
After he finished speaking, he ran out. A few minutes later, Xiao Yan came back with an induction cooker.
Xu Chuanchuan said in surprise, "Where did you get it?"
Xiaoyan said with a little interest: "Ask the sister next door to borrow it. I once saw them cooking noodles."
"Okay you."
Xiaoyan said that she hadn't eaten enough for dinner. When she saw something new, she was very motivated. She washed the pot and boiled water in one go. She put the ingredients into the boiling water one by one according to the instructions, took a deep breath, and said, "Wow—this sour bamboo shoot tastes amazing!"
Xu Chuanchuan coughed and said, "Do you feel bad?"
Xiaoyan took another breath, showing a look of enjoyment, and said, "It doesn't stink, I like it very much."
Xu Chuanchuan pinched his nose and said in a buzzing voice, "I don't quite accept this taste, why don't you eat it yourself?"
Xiaoyan looked at the rice noodles that started to boil in the pot, her eyes widened: "I can't finish two packs."
"I can't finish it... I'll throw it out when I can't finish it. There's still in the refrigerator anyway." Xu Chuanchuan couldn't accept the taste, she felt like she was about to suffocate.
Xiao Yan saw that she was suffering, so she didn't force it any longer. Suddenly thinking of something, she rolled her eyes and said, "I called her up."
"Who?"
"Miss Murong."
Xu Chuanchuan was stunned and asked, "She hasn't left yet?"
"It's still early. She's been working overtime all this time. I'll give her a call."
Seeing Xiaoyan happily pull out her phone to call Murong Shi, Xu Chuanchuan felt a little complicated for a while.
The phone was quickly connected, and Xiaoyan said softly, "Are you hungry after working overtime? Chuanchuan and I cooked delicious food on it, come and eat with us... Why do you want me to take it down? I'm wearing pajamas now. Well. I'll eat them all up if you don't come up... Okay, I'll wait for you. Bye."
Xiaoyan hung up the phone with satisfaction and said, "Actually, she hates sour food the most. She must hate it more than you."
Seeing the mischievous smile on Xiaoyan's face, Xu Chuanchuan didn't know why: "Then why do you still call her up?"
"Don't waste it." Xiaoyan said with a smile, "Don't worry, if she doesn't want to eat, I will force her to finish it."
"..." Xu Chuanchuan didn't know how to continue.
Since Murong Shi was going to come up, Xu Chuanchuan felt that she should avoid it. After all, being a light bulb is not a good thing, she said, "You guys can eat, I'll go in and watch the video for a while."
"You really don't eat?"
Xu Chuanchuan smiled: "Well, I'm not hungry, you can eat."
Xu Chuanchuan entered the room, closed the door, took out his mobile phone and brewed a code word.
When Murong Shi came up, there was basically no movement to open the door, but Xu Chuanchuan heard her complain: "What are you cooking so stinky?"
"Come on, come on, it's just cooked, it's delicious." Xiaoyan said cheerfully.
"What is this? Take it away, it stinks, I won't eat it."
"It's called sour bamboo shoots, come on, come on, it's very delicious, I'll feed you, ah-"
"… "
The people outside are showing their affection, but they have to hold the mobile phone to code words bitterly. With such a comparison, Xu Chuanchuan felt that he was simply too miserable.
I don't know why, I remembered Anji's complaint that day, watching, no, listening to other people's sweetness, which made her want to fall in love.
But it’s just a matter of thinking. If you want to talk, you have to find the right person first.
outside the door.
Xiaoyan: "Chuanchuan seems to be afraid of you."
Murong Shi said calmly, "Am I scary?"
Xiaoyan stared at her face for a long time, then shook her head: "It's not scary."
"So why is she afraid of me?"
"How would I know."
"Stinky, eat quickly." Murong Shi pressed Xiao Yan's head, ignoring her complaints, and took a deep look at the closed door.
Xiaoyan "sucked" while eating rice noodles, and found that Murong Shi was distracted: "What are you looking at?"
Murong Shi looked back, and instead of answering, she asked, "Did she tell you anything about me?"
"Who?"
"Xu Chuanchuan."
Xiaoyan thought about it seriously and said, "No. She seems to be very reluctant to talk about topics related to you. When I mentioned my relationship with you last time, she didn't say anything. What's the matter?"
"nothing."
"The tone is wrong, you seem very disappointed."
Murong Shi pushed her approaching face aside, and pretended to be unhappy with a straight face: "Don't gossip like this, children, eat you well."
"Oh."
Eating and eating, Xiaoyan's mouth still couldn't stop, and said, "Chuanchuan is really good."
Murong Shi snorted coldly: "I bought you a bag of rice noodles? You can't just look at the surface."
Xiaoyan looked at her like a ghost: "You didn't tell me that before. You said that Chuanchuan is a kind-hearted person and has no scheming, so you can rest assured that I will live with her."
"… "
"Cuanchuan said her salary is very low."
Murong Shi wanted to look at her with a smile: "You don't even have a salary, so you should sympathize with yourself first."
Xiaoyan choked on her, accidentally choked on the chili oil, and coughed violently. She patted her chest, waited for her breath to stabilize, and said, "It's not the same, I still have you to support. If there is someone to support, Chuanchuan won't have to work so hard every night, right?" She looked at Xu Chuanchuan's door .
Murong Shi said lightly: "Everyone thinks differently."
"Um?"
Murong Shi pondered deeply, and said quietly, "She looks weak on the surface, but on the inside—"
"Go ahead."
"..." Xiaoyan's big innocent eyes were like a mirror, and Murong Shi was invisible to her. She cleared her throat, "No more."
Xiao Yan seemed to have found something interesting, and stared at her face for a moment: "You seem to know Chuanchuan very well."
Murong Shi's eyes flickered, and he said, "... I'm not familiar with it anyway."
The 20th of every month is the day when the company pays wages uniformly, and everyone is very excited at this time.
Many people have opened the bank's SMS service. When the finance department makes a unified remittance, there will be a "ding ding dong dong" sound in the office, all of which are reminders that the salary has arrived.
Although Xu Chuanchuan's salary was not much, he couldn't help but picked up his phone and glanced at it, but found that the amount of the transfer reminder this month was different from the previous one, and it was nearly a thousand yuan more.
She began to think it was because of the overtime, because when she took over Linda's job on a temporary basis last month, she was forced to stay and work overtime a few times when she was too busy. But a careful calculation of the amount is not correct.
Just wondering, I suddenly heard someone in the office quietly ask: "Is your salary right?"
Someone echoed: "I'm wrong, why does it seem to be hundreds of dollars more than last month."
Another person said: "Mine too, it's a few hundred more. Could it be that the finance department miscalculated?"
Discussions continued one after another, because the sudden extra salary made everyone no longer in the mood to work.
"Xiao Xu, why are you holding your mobile phone in that silly place all by yourself?"
Xiao Xu laughed a few times and said, "I'm thinking, if the finance department really made the wrong money, we will definitely get the money back. It's the first time I've gotten so much salary. Save the screenshots as a souvenir."
As soon as these words came out, everyone else was amused, some said she was stupid, some said she was big-hearted.
But Xu Chuanchuan really thought so in his heart. Although the monthly fee she received was several times more than her salary, it was the first time she had received such a salary, and she felt a little excited.
At the end of the discussion, someone said seriously: "Have you ever thought that everyone's salary has increased so much, maybe the company has given us a salary increase?"
Someone immediately retorted: "Think too much, our company is notoriously stingy, we don't even have to eat New Year's Eve dinner, and you still expect a salary increase?"
The man said again: "Have you forgotten? Did Miss Murong say that the first time we all had a dinner together, only the company's performance increased by %... I forgot how much. Anyway, I said that as long as the benefits become better, I will give it to me. We raise wages."
After his reminder, everyone else also remembered, and a new round of discussions began again.
Until the afternoon, the mystery was finally revealed.
The finance department sent an email to everyone's mailbox, explaining the reason for the abnormal salary this time. As the colleague said, it was Murong Shi who raised everyone's salary.
Almost at the same time, Xiao Yan, who temporarily took over Linda's job, sent an email informing all the staff to have dinner on Friday night.
This dinner was the second official dinner organized by the company. Everyone was very happy with the increase in wages. No one was absent that night.
They built a hall, Murong Shi stood out from the crowd, holding a glass of wine, said: "This time everyone has been very strong, the company's performance is obvious to all, in order to thank everyone, but also to honor the previous promise, so give everyone Personally, my salary has increased. I hope everyone will continue to work hard in the future, and there will be more benefits in the future."
"Miss Murong is mighty!"
I don't know who shouted, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
Murong Shi smiled and said, "I won't fool everyone with juice this time. I'm very happy today. I'll give you a toast."
The temptation of money is still great, no matter what you can drink or can't drink, everyone is full of wine, more than 50 people stand up together, toast, cheer, drink freely, the atmosphere suddenly reaches a high tide. .
Xu Chuanchuan sat in an inconspicuous corner, and after drinking a glass of wine, he began to eat food quietly.
Different from the first dinner, at that time, almost the entire company was not satisfied with Murong Shi, the resolute leader, and even a little afraid. This time everyone let go of their hands and feet, and some boldly raised their glasses to admire Rong Shi alone. Murong Shi did not refuse, and accepted all the orders.
The colleague next to him encouraged Xu Chuanchuan to toast together, but Xu Chuanchuan shook his head and said he didn't want to join in the fun. She quietly watched the waves of people flocking to Murong Shi, watching Murong Shi tear off her high-cold mask and drink the wine that everyone handed over, thinking, "Isn't she afraid of getting drunk?"
Another wave of people retreated, and their sight suddenly became clear. Across the two round tables, Xu Chuanchuan seemed to see Murong Shi looking towards her. She bowed her head hastily.
The atmosphere inside kept going high, and Xu Chuanchuan's ears were so noisy that she couldn't stand it. Halfway through the meal, she got up and went to the bathroom.
She didn't notice that not long after she entered, Murong Shi also followed. So when she came out of the cubicle and saw Murong Shi standing in front of the sink, she was taken aback.
Murong Shi tilted her head and glanced at her, suddenly laughed lightly, and said teasingly, "Did you see a ghost in broad daylight?"
Xu Chuanchuan's face became hot, and he whispered, "It's dark outside now."
Murong Shi stopped talking and put her hand under the faucet. After waiting for a long time, the water did not come out. She said, "Is it broken?"
Xu Chuanchuan came forward to help her turn on the faucet: "This is not induction."
The sound of the water was "rushing", and the cold water poured out. Murong Shi exhaled and said, "So it is. Thank you."
"You're welcome." When he got closer, he could smell the strong smell of alcohol on her body. Xu Chuanchuan noticed that her cheeks were slightly red, and her usual sharp eyes became blurred, so she said silently, "Are you drunk? "
"No." Murong Shi cherished the words like gold and moved to the side.
Knowing that she was letting herself, Xu Chuanchuan hesitated and squeezed some hand sanitizer on her hand.
"Help me get some." Murong Shi said.
Fortunately, this hand sanitizer could be picked up. After Xu Chuanchuan squeezed the hand sanitizer for her, the two of them washed their hands quietly without looking at each other.
The two washed them almost at the same time. This time, without Murong Shi speaking, Xu Chuanchuan consciously helped her draw a piece of toilet paper.
Murong Shi's eyes were deep, and he glanced at her, with no extra words other than "thank you".
Although she concealed it well, Xu Chuanchuan could still feel Murong Shi's exhaustion, and she said in a ghostly way, "You better drink less."
"What did you say?" Murong Shi leaned forward, wondering if the floor was too slippery or if she was really drunk, but she didn't stand still.
Seeing her body shaking, Xu Chuanchuan stretched out his hand to help her conditioned reflexively. Murong Shi's upper body fell into her arms, and Xu Chuanchuan was stunned.
Fortunately, Murong Shi quickly pushed her away, lowered her eyes, and said with some annoyance, "I'm sorry."
Xu Chuanchuan suddenly felt a little hot inside. She looked at the pair of terrifyingly high heels under Murong Shi's feet, and said hesitantly, "I... I'd better help you out first."
For some reason, she always felt that as long as she let go, the chance of Murong Shi falling would double.
Xu Chuanchuan put his hand on Murong Shi's arm, carefully looking at Murong Shi's face. Although Murong Shi was reluctant to admit it, she knew that Murong Shi was drunk.
Murong Shi breathed lightly, and looked at her for a while, as if she was considering something. After a long time, she made a compromising "um".
When Xu Chuanchuan grabbed her arm, Murong Shi asked coldly, "Have you been drinking?"
The warm breath with the smell of alcohol sprayed on his face and bare neck, Xu Chuanchuan couldn't get used to it, and nodded hastily: "Drink... drink a little."
"I'll have a drink with you later."
Xu Chuanchuan was stunned: "Why do you want to drink with me?"
Murong Shi smiled softly, came over and said, "Thank you for helping me take care of Xiao Yan these days."
"Oh… "
As soon as the voice fell, Xu Chuanchuan froze.
Murong Shi broke free from the restraint of her hand, and almost at the same time, someone pushed in the door, a female colleague from the finance department.
"Miss Murong."
"Well." The blurred light in Murong Shi's eyes disappeared, and his expression returned to normal. She stood up straight and in high spirits, different from just now.
Murong Shi finally glanced at Xu Chuanchuan who was dumbfounded, and left the bathroom without looking back.
Xu Chuanchuan seemed to have been tapped, and stood there for a long time, not knowing how to react.
Just now, Murong Shi licked her ear...
After going out, Xu Chuanchuan's whole heart was disturbed. She only ate a little of the food on the table, and now she has no appetite and just wants to leave early.
But just when she picked up her bag and was about to sneak away, Murong Shi appeared with a glass of wine.
"Where?" Murong Shi looked at her with a smile.
Xu Chuanchuan licked his dry lips, not intending to lie, and said, "I want to go back first."
"Then have a drink with me first."
Just a cup, Xu Chuanchuan is not afraid of getting drunk. She filled herself with wine, picked it up and gently touched Murong Shi's wine glass with a "ding" sound. Just as she was about to drink, Murong Shi held her hand.
Xu Chuanchuan felt inexplicable.
Murong Shi suddenly approached, Xu Chuanchuan subconsciously stepped back. But she forgot that there was a wall behind her, and her figure swayed.
Murong Shi stood still, looking at her intently with his eyes, and asked in a voice that only two people heard, "I did that to you just now, don't you have anything to say?"
Not to mention that it was okay just now, Xu Chuanchuan blushed and said in a hoarse voice, "What do you mean?"
Murong Shi curled the corners of her lips and said, "You've been peeking at me, I thought you would understand."
Xu Chuanchuan bit his lower lip, met her burning gaze, and said embarrassedly, "That's because... Because you licked my ears, I just... "
Murong Shi chuckled softly and broke her lie: "You were looking at me before you licked, you think I don't know?"
Is it that obvious
Xu Chuanchuan pretended to be calm: "Don't be too narcissistic."
"It's not that I'm narcissistic, it's that your eyes are too straightforward." Murong Shi reached out and touched her ears that were so red that they seemed to be dripping blood.
Xu Chuanchuan's body quickly jumped through a burst of electricity, slapped her hand away suddenly, and glared at her: "What are you doing?"
Murong Shi's expression was innocent: "I didn't want to do it, why are you so excited?"
Xu Chuanchuan didn't start, looked at Xiaoyan who seemed to be silly and sweet in the crowd, swallowed hard, and said, "I don't know why you want to do this, you already have Xiaoyan, and you're still like that. ... To me. Don't you feel sorry for Xiaoyan?"
Murong Shi was very confused: "Xiao Yan? What am I sorry for her?"
"Isn't she your girlfriend?"
Murong Shi's mouth twitched: "Who told you that Xiao Yan is my girlfriend?"
Xu Chuanchuan was stunned: "Isn't it? Haven't you already..."
"Her name is Murong Yan, and she's my sister."
"Your sister?"
"Who are you scolding?"
"..." Xu Chuanchuan looked at Xiaoyan and then at the person in front of him, his mouth wide open, "But it doesn't look like it at all."
Murong Shi said helplessly: "It's my cousin, my surname is my mother's."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..."
Xiaoyan is actually Murong Shi's cousin? ? ? This was absolutely unexpected by Xu Chuanchuan. Then what was the reason for those strange sounds she heard before
She didn't have time to think because Murong Shi suddenly held her free hand. Xu Chuanchuan woke up with a jolt: "You..."
Murong Shi's face got closer and closer, but he deliberately kept his distance and said, "Actually, you don't hate me, do you?"
Xu Chuanchuan could no longer step back, and she didn't want to make too much noise to attract the attention of others, her body tensed and her voice trembled: "I don't hate you, but..."
"It's not that you don't have feelings for me." Murong Shi intercepted her words.
"You, you drank too much."
As if there was nothing he could do about her, Murong Shi sighed heavily and said, "This is the first time I have such a favorable impression of a person when I grew up, and I didn't expect to be rejected."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..."
Murong Shi looked straight into her eyes: "You can admit it or not, anyway, I already know the answer in your heart now."
Xu Chuanchuan said dryly: "You think too much, I still say that, I don't like women. Can you let go of my hand first?"
Instead, Murong Shi clenched her hand even tighter and sneered, "You were angry last time, but this time you didn't, doesn't that explain the problem?"
Xu Chuanchuan blushed: "That's because...because..."
"Because of what?"
It may be because of drinking, Murong Shi's hands are hot now, his eyes are hot, and even his breath is hot when he speaks. Xu Chuanchuan felt that she was being enveloped by a steamer, and she couldn't bear it. She wanted to push Murong Shi away, but her body didn't seem to obey her commands.
The only thing on her body that could move was her eyes, she blinked quickly and found that she had lost the ability to think,
Only now did Xu Chuanchuan realize that it was such a delicate feeling to look up at Murong Shi from such a close distance. Murong Shi looked down at her from top to bottom, his eyes were so deep and focused, as if she was the only one in his eyes...
Xu Chuanchuan knew that it was just her own delusion, but she couldn't say a word to refute. With a little effort, she would definitely be able to break free, but she forgot to resist.
Murong Shi gently squeezed her palm.
Xu Chuanchuan shook his head and said decisively, "No, I don't like you."
"Really?"
"real."
"Then you look me in the eyes and say."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..." She didn't dare to look.
Those slender, dark eyes were like a black vortex, and they were deeply involved in her, and she was afraid that she would not be able to get out.
Murong Shi put down the wine glass in his hand and took hers away by the way. Xu Chuanchuan was disappointed for a while, but did not make a sound to stop it.
Murong Shi touched her shoulder, glanced at the people around, and lowered her voice: "How about we take a test?"
"What test?"
Murong Shi pondered slightly and said, "If I kiss you now, if you are disgusted, push me away. If you are not disgusted, it proves that you also have a good opinion of me."
"!!!" Xu Chuanchuan pushed her away, "Impossible!!! There are so many people here!!!"
"Then... let's change places?"
Xu Chuanchuan: "..." Isn't that the point
