Meng Shuyu weighed the options in his mind.
Compared to the hassle of booking a hotel room, Zhou Jun's place is indeed a more convenient place.
More importantly, she didn't dare to stay alone now, thinking that she might have offended some bad guy.
It's always safer to have a man around.
Meng Shuyu got back into Zhou Jun's car, still feeling a little dazed.
After five minutes, I entered Zhou Jun's apartment. The slippers were delivered to my feet, but I didn't even move my feet.
Zhou Jun bent over and looked up at her: "Do you want me to put it on for you?"
Meng Shuyu lowered his head, quickly changed his shoes and went in, then mechanically put down the handbag of clothes, took off Zhou Jun's suit and hung it on the coat rack.
Zhou Jun watched her pack up and pointed to the two guest rooms to the south and north: "Which one do you want to stay in?"
"The one closer to you." Meng Shuyu said without hesitation.
Zhou Jun raised his eyebrows.
“… It’s okay if it’s farther away.”
"what ever."
Meng Shuyu pointed to the kitchen and said, "Can I have a glass of water first?"
"If you want something hot, make it yourself."
Meng Shuyu was familiar with the kitchen and boiled water by himself.
I had nothing to do while waiting for the water to boil, so I stood in front of the kitchen counter and my thoughts wandered again, and I started thinking about the wall at home.
Zhou Jun went into the master bedroom and came out, he saw her standing in the kitchen in a daze, looking dazed. Judging from her posture, she must have been thinking about it all night.
After standing far away and watching her for a while, Zhou Jun sighed, "Meng Shuyu."
"Um?"
"The water is boiling."
Meng Shuyu glanced at the kettle with a green light on, poured himself a cup of hot water, then turned around and asked him, "Do you want some?"
"No need," Zhou Jun walked towards the sofa, "Pour the water and come over."
Meng Shuyu walked over with hot water in his hand: "What's wrong?"
"Come on," Zhou Jun sat on the sofa casually with his legs apart, "Analyze for me what you think happened tonight."
Meng Shuyu looked at the sofa under Zhou Jun, and suddenly his mind flashed back to the last time when he was lying there having sex after drinking.
"I'd better stand." She coughed lightly and said as if reporting work, "It's like this, I thought of several possibilities, such as whether it was a perverted neighbor who climbed into my house through the air conditioner on the balcony?"
"That makes sense. What else?"
"Or maybe the thief cracked the password of my house. Maybe this is a kind of reconnaissance principle."
"It's not impossible. Keep talking."
"Besides, professional debt collectors will use chicken blood to scare debtors, right? Although I don't owe anyone money..."
"But it's also an idea. Is there any other idea?"
"Well..." Meng Shuyu took a sip of water, "Also, although I don't owe any money, I did owe one or two or three other debts when I was studying at university in Hangzhou."
"Love debt." Zhou Jun nodded and leaned back on the sofa. "Not bad."
"What's good?"
“I have an open mind.”
Is this the time to discuss thinking skills
So this didn't happen in your family, so you don't have a backache
Meng Shuyu was feeling depressed. Seeing Zhou Jun, he shook his head regretfully: "It's a pity that none of them are right."
"Do you know what happened?" Meng Shuyu walked up and sat down next to him.
"Well, Assistant Ren found a piece of news that was similar to your situation, and just went to your apartment to check again."
"It's all on the social news?" Meng Shuyu was surprised. "What new type of criminal?"
"Recall what you had for dinner last Friday morning."
"Takeaway, bread and milkshakes. I order breakfast for the next day every night. So is it the takeaway delivery person?"
"Have you finished your milkshake?"
"No," Meng Shuyu had a vague premonition, "I was in a hurry to go to work, so I..."
"I screwed the lid on and threw it in the trash, leaving the milkshake in the sealed bottle in the sun for five days until it fermented and exploded."
“… … ”
"Meng Shuyu," Zhou Jun leaned on his elbow and looked at her, "You have been living quite soberly these days."
Meng Shuyu choked on the sofa. After staring at Zhou Jun for a long time, he slowly turned his head away and covered his face with his hands.
"It's no wonder you've never smelled this kind of smell in your life. Five days of milkshakes is something most people might not be able to smell in two lifetimes."
"Stop talking..."
Zhou Jun propped himself up and said, "Go take a shower and go to bed."
Seeing him walking towards the master bedroom, Meng Shuyu woke up as if from a dream, stood up and called him: "So, I can go home now?"
"As long as you can fall asleep smelling that scent." Zhou Jun opened the door of the master bedroom and walked in, raising his index finger, "Don't be late for the interview tomorrow at 9:30."
The door closed with a click.
Meng Shuyu looked at the deserted living room, took a deep breath, and scenes flashed through his mind rapidly -
When Zhou Jun heard that someone had entered her house, he took off his seat belt and got out of the car without thinking.
I listened to her hurriedly recounting those horrific situations with a frown on her face.
Seeing that she refused to get in the car, he handed her his coat.
In the end, he sat on the sofa, mocked her, and turned away.
God gave her the beginning of a hero saving the beauty, but did not give her the ending of a hero saving the beauty.
Meng Shuyu closed his eyes and walked silently towards the guest room far away from Zhou Jun.
The next morning, Meng Shuyu woke up to the sound of the alarm. Seeing the cold-toned interior, he realized where he slept last night. He quickly turned off the alarm and checked the time.
Her phone had a default alarm set for a quarter to seven.
In the past, the takeaway would arrive in a quarter of an hour at this time, so she would get up, wash, put on makeup, and have breakfast, just in time to go out for work.
But since she was living under someone else's roof today, she should have gotten up earlier.
Meng Shuyu threw back the quilt and got out of bed. He opened the door and looked out. At a glance, he saw Zhou Jun frying eggs in front of the kitchen counter in the living room.
The golden morning light poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony, casting a hazy glow over his entire body.
The whole kitchen was filled with smoke.
With a ding sound, a piece of freshly baked toast popped up on the toaster.
Zhou Jun turned around, picked up the toast with the bread clip, and looked up at her.
Meng Shuyu glanced at her nightgown, shrank back behind the door, and only poked her head out to ask, "Why are you here so early?"
"Will you have food to eat?"
Meng Shuyu smiled embarrassedly: "Next time..."
Speak halfway through the meal.
"next time?"
"Next time I'll try getting up earlier and making breakfast at home." Meng Shuyu finished speaking, went back to her room, changed her clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash and put on makeup.
When I came out after cleaning up, I saw Zhou Jun was already sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
She walked over uncertainly and saw an untouched piece of toast placed opposite Zhou Jun. She pointed at it and asked, "Is it for me?"
"For the ghost."
"… "
Meng Shuyu sat down opposite Zhou Jun, put his phone aside, picked up the knife to cut toast, looked up at him, and always felt that this scene was a bit dazed.
He took a bite of toast and glanced at Zhou Jun, the strange feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
After thinking for a while, Meng Shuyu cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Zhou, I'll confirm the interview process with you later..."
"Don't talk about work while eating." Zhou Jun dispelled her idea of changing the atmosphere.
Meng Shuyu said "Oh" and lowered his head to concentrate on eating breakfast. In the silence, he heard a vibration coming from the dining table.
Meng Shuyu looked up at his phone—
Chen Xing: How did you feel on the first morning of living together
"… "
At half past eight, Meng Shuyu and Zhou Jun set off for the company together.
In order to clean up the uninhabitable apartment, Ren Xu brought the cleaning staff there early in the morning, and Meng Shuyu naturally became the driver today.
He was used to driving, but maybe the starting point this time was not right. The closer Meng Shuyu got to the company, the more he felt something was wrong.
Arriving at the industrial park, Meng Shuyu drove the car into the underground parking space and said to Zhou Jun, "Mr. Zhou, how about you go up first?"
"how?"
"I just want to sit down and rest for a while."
Zhou Jun unbuckled his seat belt, glanced at her and got out of the car.
Meng Shuyu looked at the time in the car. After five minutes, he got out and went upstairs.
As soon as she entered the general manager's office, three secretaries greeted her good morning.
Meng Shuyu smiled and nodded to everyone, walked to the workstation and sat down, then asked Tang Xuanxuan: "Xuanxuan, has President Zhou arrived?"
"Here we are, a few minutes earlier than you."
"Well, please prepare the tea before 9:30. Mr. Zhou will have an interview later."
"Okay, you're talking to the Minister of Human Resources, right?"
"right."
Lin Shunzhi, the human resources manager, has been acting as the HR director for quite a while. After this campus recruitment, Zhou Jun was not very satisfied with the HR work and chose the latter between promoting Lin Shunzhi and hiring another director.
However, the position of HR director is not suitable for subordinates in the department to interview, so the general manager will interview the person in person.
Meng Shuyu confirmed the interview materials at his workstation, took his laptop and paper documents, and went to the conference room in advance to prepare.
At 9:25, Tang Xuanxuan knocked on the door and came in to serve tea. When she walked to Meng Shuyu with the tea tray, she paused while arranging the tea set: "Hey, Sister Shuyu, did you change your perfume? This smells good."
“I don’t wear perfume.”
Meng Shuyu stopped typing on the keyboard, raised his arm and smelled himself, smelling a light woody fragrance, and blinked gently.
Just as I was about to say something, Zhou Jun walked in.
Tang Xuanxuan turned to Zhou Jun, greeted him, left the tea, and left.
Meng Shuyu stared at Zhou Jun without blinking, and waited for him to sit down next to her. She moved her body slightly, moved closer to him, and sniffed him calmly.
The same refreshing and light fragrance, with a slightly damp scent of grass and trees, came from the men's shower gel in Zhou Jun's apartment.
Meng Shuyu quietly moved her body back and glanced at Zhou Jun. Seeing that he was concentrating on looking at his resume and didn't notice her little action, she thought for a moment, then stood up and walked out.
Back in the general manager's office, she took out a bottle of spare perfume from the drawer, went to the bathroom, and sprayed it on her wrists, behind her ears, and on her lapels.
After all this going back and forth, Meng Shuyu returned to the meeting room at one minute before 9:30.
The applicants haven't arrived yet, Zhou Jun is still flipping through resumes, everything is so perfect...
"So..." Zhou Jun turned his head and glanced behind her ear.
"Hmm?" Meng Shuyu turned around and looked at him.
"On the first morning of living together, you feel - guilty?"
The author has something to say: The applicant hasn't arrived yet, Zhou Jun is still flipping through resumes, everything seems so messed up.
