Weather for Tuesday, March 25: Clouds clear and the sun appears
————————
"That woman is so inseparable." During a press conference, Luoluo and I stood on the sidelines, responsible for distributing and explaining materials. When I was bored during the meeting, Luoluo whispered in my ear.
The "that woman" Luo Luo talks about is the woman who was on the same plane as Yi Fan and had tea with him in the evening, Yumi Zhixiang. Officially, she was sent by Japanese investors to cooperate with Yi Fan, but privately everyone knew that she was the daughter of the head of the Japanese consortium. She was young and her purpose was self-evident.
"It's really hard work, beauty and money. It kills two birds with one stone." I sighed.
"Can I interpret your sigh as jealousy?"
"Of course not," I said calmly, "I'm just lamenting the fate of Japanese women. Many times in their lives, they have to stand submissively behind men and smile gently, without any ego."
I looked at the stage, where Yumi Gardenia was standing two steps behind Yi Fan, smiling softly, her eyes wrapping around Yi Fan's tall back like silk.
That smile suddenly made me feel a twinge of pain in my heart. She and Yi Fan... had the same gentle and lingering smile.
"If you have time to pity her for having no life, why don't you stand on the stage and replace her!" Luo Luo said angrily.
After the meeting, I compiled some information and gave it to Yi Fan.
He was standing in front of a floor-to-ceiling window to take a rest. He casually looked through the materials and asked, "How was my lecture?"
"It's very good. The content is informative, the language is concise, the concept is novel, and the intention is profound... "
"That's all?" he asked again.
"Yes." Just a simple press conference, what else do you want
He looked at me and shook his head and chuckled.
At this time, a woman walked not far away and shouted from a distance: "Xiao Yi!"
Yi Fan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed my hand.
My blood froze. It took me five seconds to remember to struggle, but Yi Fan was so strong that I couldn't break free.
"What are you doing?" I asked anxiously.
"Don't move." Yi Fan warned me in a low voice, and then immediately put on a strange smile.
The woman walked closer with a smile: "Xiao Yi, long time no see."
"Yeah, long time no see. Is everything okay?" Yi Fan asked.
"It's okay. You seem to be doing well too. Is this..." the woman looked at me and asked.
I quickly reacted to the situation in front of me and attributed it to the plot of "Ah, I have a girlfriend, but you don't have a man. I told you that you dumped me because you didn't have the vision, and I was so angry with you." However, this woman is not the woman in yellow that I first met... nor is she any woman I have ever seen... Ah, Yi Fan, you are so carefree!
"My girlfriend." Yi Fan said to the woman.
Well, I guessed it right, so I stopped fainting to show my shock.
The woman only looked at me lightly, and then went to have a mysterious and profound conversation with Yi Fan. Until she left half an hour later, I didn't understand what she and Yi Fan were talking about.
"Yi Fan, who is that person?"
"a friend."
"Let me guess, you chased her and got dumped, so now you need a fake girlfriend to save face?"
"no."
"Then she chased you?"
"No."
Since it is neither, this goes beyond the purpose of using a fake girlfriend.
"She is the manager of this hotel. She has to be a matchmaker for me every time we meet. She is always annoyed by questions." Yi Fan explained.
"Being a matchmaker... isn't that what you want? You hypocritical person!" I complained, rubbing my sore fingers.
"But since I've helped you, can I lend it to you for the same purpose?" I asked expectantly.
"Is your dad coming again? Don't you have a little brother who can handle inspections at any time? Why are you looking for me?"
"It's not my dad, Xiaobai... Hehe, my dad just plays matchmaker when he has nothing to do, just like a street aunt. I just want... I want to lend you to show off in front of Zhang Hai one day." My eyes were shining with yearning on my face. explain.
"Zhang Hai? That dirty boy in the Christmas video?"
"The industry is difficult for the industry, and the curtains are small. 2 is still a small one. This colony is a stranger. Zheng Bi is full of straw.
"Xiaobei?" Yi Fan lowered his head and stared straight into my eyes.
"ah?"
"I'm not belittling you, I really despise you. You still miss such a worthless man!" Yi Fan scolded angrily.
"I, I'm not obsessed with him, there's nothing I can't forget. I just feel so shameless that he even left a note when we broke up! Please do me this favor." I begged.
"Is he your first boyfriend?" Yi Fan asked casually.
I thought for a moment: "That's right, the family is very tight... Zhang Hai is also semi-underground."
"I'm just saying this, otherwise ordinary people can't be as stupid as you."
I felt a little depressed: "I was young back then, but I can't do it now. Just satisfy my little vanity."
"No." Yi Fan refused.
"Why?"
"Do you know that martial arts competitions are all about masters competing against each other? Only masters can compete with masters. Fighting against such a rotten person... it feels humiliating just thinking about it." He waved his hand, "Let's go and get to work."
Tsk, if you didn’t help me and kept me entertained for so long, it makes you look like a master! I curse.
In the evening, there was a short period of work, and everyone had some time to visit the night view of Hong Kong.
I wanted to ask Luoluo to go shopping, but as soon as I called, I found that this girl was already shopping crazy somewhere.
"Xiaobei! Come here quickly! Things here are so cheap!"
"You still owe a lot of money, be careful of your card exploding." I reminded her.
"Oh, it's worth selling me. Hey, do you want to come over or not?"
"I won't go. I don't have much money, so I need to save some money. I just want to buy some daily necessities. Do you have any recommendations for good and cheap places?"
Luoluo told me the address and asked me for the last time: "Really not coming? Your life is so boring!"
I smiled and hung up the phone, and went to find the small supermarket with good quality and low price that she mentioned.
After taking the bus for a few stops, I got off the bus and walked along the road, then made a few more turns... Why did it feel less and less like a supermarket as I walked.
"Are you lost? Where is this?" I said to myself, trying to find a sign. When I turned around and looked around, I realized that although the road here was dark and the location was secluded, there were not many people there. There seemed to be many pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness, peering at me like a wild beast...the silly sheep who had foolishly wandered into the pack of wolves.
Looking at those ghostly figures, my heart began to beat wildly, and I immediately turned around and ran towards the main road. On the way, I bumped into someone who smelled of alcohol. Because the bottle in his hand was knocked to the ground, the man burst into a burst of vicious curses, and I ran away in even more panic.
"Luoluo, what road are you pointing to?" I felt like I was going to cry, and the road gradually appearing in front of me didn't make me relax.
Fortunately, I found the station I came from. I was holding on to the stop sign and just about to catch my breath, when I bumped into someone. The man was not knocked aside like the drunk man just now. Instead, he got close to him and said something fluently. Although I couldn't understand what he said, I knew what was going on without even looking at the situation in front of me. I kept telling myself not to cry, not to cry, to be calm, but my body involuntarily backed away in panic. At this time, two more people came next to me and blocked my way, and one of them put his hand on my shoulder.
"Let me go!" I heard myself scream.
Those people seemed to be approaching even more excitedly.
Just when I started to despair, a car appeared at the corner of the street, roared onto the sidewalk, and stopped with a scream. The gangsters were forced to jump aside.
Yi Fan jumped out of the car and shouted at those people: "Get out!"
I stumbled towards Yi Fan, grabbed his collar, and shouted in tears: "Yi Fan, Yi Fan..."
Yi Fan patted me, glanced at the people in the dark, and said to me: "Get in the car."
Then, he drove all the way and brought me back from darkness to light.
"Drink this." Back in the restaurant downstairs of the hotel, Yi Fan ordered me a glass of milk.
After taking a sip, the warm and sweet feeling melted into my body. It really felt like I was reincarnated. After taking a few sips, I held the cup and asked, "How is your wrist? If you drive like this... have you hurt it again?" ?”
"I can drive with one hand. What about you? Are you injured? Those people..."
"Thankfully you showed up in time, otherwise I wouldn't have known what to do." I said fearfully, "But how did you find me?"
"I couldn't find you, so I asked Li Luo..." At this point, he paused for a moment as if he wanted to adjust his emotions, but in the end he couldn't control it, so he yelled: "Guan Xiaobei! Are you illiterate? Isn’t it important in the travel brochure not to go to that area after dark? You’re a girl, why are you running around blindly!”
"I want to buy something..." I whispered.
"There are so many shops, you have to go there!"
"Luoluo told me about a cheap store. I didn't know where it was." Seeing Yi Fan's face darken again, I quickly explained, "I went out in a hurry and didn't bring any money. Didn't I want to save some... "
"I want money rather than my life!" He rubbed his forehead as if he had a headache again, "I heard you were going there... I'm going to kill Li Luo tomorrow."
I was shocked, "Don't blame Luoluo, she had good intentions."
"Huh, don't blame her. She just knows the store and doesn't know anything else!"
"That's true." I agreed.
"Then can you still walk?" Yi Fan stood up and asked me.
I nodded: "What are you doing?" The bright lights and the sweet drink had dispelled the shadow just now, and I was almost recovered.
"Then let's go and find a store. Don't you want to buy something?"
"Why didn't you come to me if you didn't have money?" Yi Fan asked me in the taxi.
"You are so stingy that the manager is reluctant to buy you a business ticket..." I muttered.
Yi Fan shot two murderous glances at him.
"No, I'm afraid of delaying your date." I quickly explained.
"Who said I was dating!" Yi Fan couldn't laugh or cry.
"g? No? Aren't you with that Japanese woman every day these days? Everyone says you and her... "
Yi Fan interrupted me: "Listen to other people's nonsense. Aren't you responsible for my blind date? Did I tell you that I wanted to see her?"
"You are so good at attracting bees and butterflies, can I control it?" I turned my head dejectedly and looked at the lights outside the car window.
After watching for a while, I noticed Yi Fan looking at me from the reflection of the glass. When I looked back at him, he pretended to look elsewhere. After repeating it several times, I couldn't help but ask: "Yi Fan, do you have anything to say?"
He thought for a while and then said slowly: "Actually, Yumi Gardenia and I are the same."
"oh."
"What do you mean 'oh'? Why don't you ask me what happened to us." Yi Fan asked.
"Isn't it just the uncle from the Japanese employer who wants to give me money and his daughter? What a great thing, and you still don't welcome it with both hands."
"I've never seen someone like you." Yi Fan glared at me, "That's what happened, but I don't like her."
"Why? She's such a nice girl, she's a good match for you."
"She... doesn't seem to like laughing very much." Yi Fan said seriously.
"She loves to laugh. I see her standing behind you and laughing all the time. She is such a lady. When I was a child, my dad always trained me to smile like that, but unfortunately, I couldn't learn it." I spread my hands regretfully.
"I don't like it." Yi Fan said again.
"Why don't you like her?" I said anxiously, "She is so gentle and has such gentle eyes. I feel pity for her."
"Too warm."
"Then she has never seen you do such a good job, showing off 32 teeth on your face."
"Guan Xiaobei, I found that you can't let go, you are getting poorer and poorer." Yi Fan smiled.
I ignored him, opened the door and got out of the car. The brilliant lights of the shopping mall swept away the gloom in my mind.
Yi Fan patted me and said, "Go!"
I felt like he let go of a hunting dog's collar, pointed at the rabbit on the mountain and shouted "Go ahead".
But...what the heck, life is wonderful.
After walking around for a long time and not buying anything, I went to the supermarket to buy some necessities. When I was about to go out to check out, I realized that I didn't buy something important, but Yi Fan was here...
I hesitated for a long time before I made up my mind and said to Yi Fan: "Can you go out and wait for me? I, I want to buy something else."
"What else do you need? Let's buy them together."
"Well..." I glanced at the shelves on one side, "You'd better go and wait for me. I'll be back in a minute."
Yi Fan lowered his head and smiled, took two steps to pick up a pack of sanitary napkins and asked, "Do you need this?"
I immediately became steamy and blushed, not knowing what to say.
Yi Fan still smiled and compared the two different packages: "I heard that this brand is easier to use."
I have a lot of food to eat.
I randomly took two and threw them into the car, and left without looking back.
Yi Fan flipped through it and said, "Oh, if you like this brand, remember it."
Remember that big devil’s head! Remember! Why do you remember this? !
Yi Fan added: "But, Xiaobei, why did you take all the ones for day use? Do you want to change some for night use? This combination seems to be good."
"No change! Check out!" I shouted.
But he was still nagging endlessly: "Why are you blushing? This is a normal physiological process. Don't look like a little girl taking a menstrual hygiene class for the first time, okay?"
I collapsed: "Damn! Girl, I have been a woman for more than 20 years, and today I want you, a man, to educate me about menstrual issues!"
Yi Fan looked at me for a long time and said, "I'm teasing you. I just think your blushing... is funny."
I'm more excited to play with you
Sometimes fate is really surprising.
"Yi Fan?" I gently pulled Yi Fan, who was still happily picking out sanitary products.
"Huh? Are you going to try another imported brand?"
I stopped his ridiculous behavior with my eyes: "Remember what I asked you for yesterday? I seem to really need your help."
"What's up?"
"I... seem to have seen Zhang Hai and Liu Miaomiao, and Liu Miaomiao seems to be pregnant." I said dryly.
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
Zhang Hai and Liu Miaomiao obviously saw me over there, and they walked towards me.
Liu Miaomiao was a little swollen because of her pregnancy, and her steps were very slow, but her once sharp and willful face regained a soft brilliance because of her pregnancy.
"Really Xiaobei? What a coincidence." Liu Miaomiao looked at her and said affectionately.
"Yeah, what a coincidence. Look at you, congratulations. How many months has it been?" I said with a smile.
The world is really magical. After we broke up, I could no longer see Zhang Hai in even a small department, but after traveling across most of the country, I could meet him here.
"I'm about to give birth. That's why my father asked me to come here to wait for the birth, so that the child can be registered as a Hong Kong citizen. Xiaobei, you are here..."
Oh, I really want to say that I am also expecting to give birth. No, I want to say that I have given birth to several children, and the oldest one can chase after your child.
"Business trip." I said.
"I used to think you were the hardest working person in the department, and you are still so hardworking now. But women, you don't have to work so hard on yourself. In the final analysis, you still have to start a family..." Liu Miaomiao didn't finish her words, but her meaning was ready to come out.
"Yeah, it's better for you, we will have a baby soon." I smiled unnaturally.
Damn, I'm so ashamed that I'm still single. Yi Fan, can't you cooperate and satisfy my vanity
At this time, Yi Fan, who had been acting as a passerby next to me, suddenly put his arm around my waist and whispered in my ear: "Honey, if you don't work hard, if you are willing to work hard... won't our children also run away all over the floor?" "
My face, which had just calmed down, turned red again: "Yi Fan, what nonsense are you talking about!"
"Xiaobei, who is this..." asked Zhang Hai, who had been silent.
"Let me introduce him, he is..."
"I am her husband." Yi Fan rushed to say, "Xiaobei refused to announce it when we got married, so we only registered it and not many people knew about it. But we have been working hard to have a baby... But you know Xiaobei Bei works too hard...sometimes she doesn't work hard enough."
What are these? I was so anxious that I secretly stabbed Yi Fan with my arm.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk anymore. Some people are embarrassed." Yi Fan smiled.
"Are you...really married?" Zhang Hai looked at me doubtfully.
"What do you mean?" Yi Fan said displeasedly, "Although we didn't hold a wedding, we went to ten European countries on our honeymoon."
I interrupted Yi Fan's nonsense and raised my hand with a smile: "No wedding ring? Yes, I am not married and I don't have a boyfriend. Yi Fan is joking. He is my boss."
The expressions of Liu Miaomiao and Zhang Hai became a little strange.
"But I think I will marry well."
At that moment, looking at Yi Fan's expression on his face as he picked out the homely things and his seriousness when he helped me cover them up, I suddenly realized that the pain and obsession I had when I was young were so weak. Zhang Hai and Liu Miaomiao were just my youth. It’s just a hint of the future, the future will be brilliant.
After returning from shopping, Yi Fan kept taking me back to my room.
"Thank you for today. Go back and rest early." I said.
"Xiaobei..." Yi Fan stood at the door and called me softly.
"Huh?" I looked up at him.
But he didn't speak, and just kept looking at me in the corridor, with unexplainable emotions in his bright eyes.
"Is there anything else?" I asked, my face getting hot again when he looked at me.
"It's okay, silly girl." He rubbed my hair, "Have a good rest, I have to get up early tomorrow morning.
After seeing Yi Fan off, I sat down against the wall and dialed Xiaobai's phone number.
"How are you, okay?" Xiaobai asked.
"I'm very busy at work, so I only have time to go shopping tonight."
"Really," Xiaobai smiled, "Are you having trouble calling so late?"
I was silent for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, Xiaobai."
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time: "Nothing, I just booked a flight for tomorrow."
"Are you leaving? I'm so sorry that I don't take you around properly every time I come here."
"It's nothing. If you find what you want, I have no reason to stay." There was another long pause, "Then, I wish you the best. Goodbye, Xiaobei."
"Thank you and goodbye," I said.
After hanging up the phone, I still leaned against the wall.
Maybe... Huh, I'm much better than that stupid girl Cinderella!
