Zhou Juan stepped forward and was almost face to face with her.

The huge height difference and the oppression caused by these words made Meng Shuyu feel like he was covered by a net. Only Zhou Jun was left in such a vast distance from the sky to the earth, and he was deprived of even the space to breathe.

After suffocating for a moment, Meng Shuyu raised his head and stared at Zhou Juan, carefully taking a deep breath.

This time, he suddenly smelled the faint smell of alcohol coming from Zhou Juan's body.

If you didn't say you just had tea, why did you drink alcohol

Could it be that she is worried that if she talks about the banquet, she will still go with her no matter how tired she is

Or was it that he was going to some sensual place with someone and it was not convenient for him to take her with him

Meng Shuyu thought about spreading her hair, and forgot to respond to Zhou Juan for a moment. Just when she was about to ask a question, she saw a colleague walking in the corridor behind Zhou Juan out of the corner of her eye.

She suddenly took a step back and retreated to a normal distance.

Zhou Juan's eyes darkened.

At the same moment, the cell phone in Meng Shuyu's palm vibrated.

She looked down, regained her composure, and raised her phone to show Zhou Juan: "I can only look at you. Are you satisfied?"

Lou Wenhong: I don’t have anything to do, so I’ll go back first while you do your business.

Zhou Juan glanced at the screen and said nothing.

Meng Shuyu explained everything he needed to explain. Looking at his dead look, he didn't know whether he was angry or laughing: "Do you think it's me who should say it this time - it's almost done?"

"Yeah." Zhou Juan turned around and walked out.

I don’t know what she said in reply to this “hmm”.

Meng Shuyu wrinkled her nose, feeling that the conversation had ended here, with a lump in her throat.

Couldn't he just say "It can't be almost the same" and "This is not enough"

She didn't know if she was too greedy. It was the first time she saw Zhou Juan being jealous. Even if he didn't admit it, she was so happy that she danced on her toes.

The second time he didn't finish what he said, he seemed to be a little frustrated.

I've given him so many days and still hasn't done anything. I already confessed my love to him a long time ago. Is it necessary to get jealous a second time

Then she also wanted to hold his arm and give him a hug to comfort him.

Who told him to thunder but not rain, she could only say "that's alright" in return.

Meng Shuyu snorted coldly at Zhou Juan's back, curled her lips and followed him.

The work at the exhibition had come to an end. Meng Shuyu went back to the rest room to get her bag and followed Zhou Juan out of the exhibition center.

Ren Xu drove the car to the porch in advance. Seeing Meng Shuyu walking towards the passenger seat as before, he pointed to the back: "Assistant Meng, you are also tired today. Please sit in the back seat and feel more comfortable."

Meng Shuyu looked behind her cautiously.

Seeing that no one was looking here, he quickly opened the back seat door, Mao lowered his waist and got in, sitting next to Zhou Juan.

Ren Xu also quickly drove the car out of the porch.

Meng Shuyu still felt a little unexplainable in her heart. As soon as Zhou Juan entered the car, she closed her eyes and rested, without any intention of chatting. She also turned her head out the window and started to catch up on her sleep.

The car drove smoothly on the asphalt road, and the orange street lights outside the window flashed one by one, making the light and shadow in the car flicker.

Even with my eyes closed, I couldn't ignore the annoying flicker.

Zhou Juan leaned against the back of his chair and frowned until the car turned a corner and his right shoulder suddenly sank.

Zhou Jun relaxed his eyebrows, opened his eyes and turned his head to look -

Meng Shuyu fell into a deep sleep without knowing when, and was brought over by inertia, as if leaning against a pillow in his sleep, and touched him on the shoulder.

After waiting and seeing that she didn't wake up, Zhou Juan slowly lowered his right shoulder.

The car drove into the basement of the community and parked in the parking space.

Zhou Juan raised his chin toward Ren Xu, who was looking in the rearview mirror, signaling for him to go first.

Ren Xu nodded, gently opened the door and got out of the car.

In the sparsely lit underground garage, Zhou Jun looked down at Meng Shuyu and listened to her even breathing. Instead of calming down, he became even more agitated in this airtight and cramped space.

After sitting quietly for a moment, he raised his left hand and went around, gently tucked the broken hair that was brushing the tip of her nose behind her ear, and touched her cheek with his fingertips.

Meng Shuyu's breath stopped, and he suddenly opened his eyes and raised his head.

As soon as Zhou Juan's eyes fell, he saw her sleepy eyes and her lips that were close at hand and slightly parted in surprise.

Meng Shuyu looked at Zhou Juan in confusion, as if she understood where he was looking.

In the carriage where you could hear the drop of a needle, the thumping under the chest gradually increased, and the sound was louder and deafening.

Reason told Meng Shuyu that he should step back, but a flood of desire surged in his heart, and his hands and feet were glued to Zhou Juan's dense eyes, unable to move.

Zhou Juan seemed to get acquiescence in her stillness, and slowly put his palm on her cheek, lowering his head little by little, lowering an inch to look at Meng Shuyu's eyes.

The moment the tip of his nose touched the tip of his nose, Meng Shuyu's eyes flashed, and he got up and pushed him away.

In the small back seat, the two of them were leaning on each side, suddenly as wide as possible.

Meng Shuyu touched the door handle with trembling hands, opened the door and got out, then hurried to the elevator and pressed the up button.

The elevator door moved away, and Meng Shuyu quickly stepped in, holding on to the handle with one hand on her weak legs, and clenched her fist into a fist with the other hand and knocked on her head.

Why did she panic...

Isn’t it too disgraceful to run away from the battlefield...

But I've hugged him, and he hasn't come to express my love. Could it be that I just want to kiss him now...

Chen Xing also said that if a man feels that he can be a boyfriend and girlfriend without being a boyfriend and girlfriend, he will not actively establish a relationship.

She has been taking the initiative for so long. If he wants to kiss her, can't he reply that he likes her and call her his girlfriend before kissing her

Meng Shuyu leaned against the elevator wall, her heart leaping into her throat and slowly falling back, leaving an endless emptiness.

In the quiet car, she frowned and kicked her feet irritably.

The next morning, Meng Shuyu woke up on the bed in her apartment and blinked at the ceiling, replaying last night's scenes frame by frame in her mind like a movie.

The moment she woke up, she immediately leaned on the bedside table and picked up her phone.

Because I was too tired yesterday, I slept until nearly ten o'clock this time.

But the column at the top of WeChat was deeper than she was sleeping, and there was no movement at all.

Meng Shuyu switched from wifi to 5g, and then switched back to wifi from 5g, confirming that Zhou Juan really hadn't come to see her yet.

Could it be that Zhou Juan was too tired after drinking last night and overslept like her

Meng Shuyu felt her empty stomach, got out of bed, washed up, and made a cup of oatmeal to cushion her stomach.

Waiting until almost eleven o'clock, Meng Shuyu couldn't sit still, so she walked to the balcony and looked across.

Narrowing his eyes, he saw that Zhou Juan's south-facing bedroom had opened the curtains and the balcony window was also wide open. Although he couldn't see clearly whether there was anyone in the room, he had obviously gotten up.

Didn't he have nothing to say about the fact that they almost kissed...

Meng Shuyu pulled back her hair, returned to the room, and walked around holding her cell phone.

The phone in the palm of my hand suddenly vibrated.

Meng Shuyu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately picked it up and read it -

Lou Wenhong: Morning, have you gotten up

Meng Shuyu's face fell, and she cheered up and replied: Well, I'm up.

Lou Wenhong: I came to see you last night because I actually wanted to tell you that my family and I have already told you that we can’t have a spark in our conversation and can only be ordinary friends.

Meng Shuyu felt relieved: Then my family and I should be on the same page.

Lou Wenhong: Okay, but my family criticized me for ending the conversation with you through the screen. After all, you invited me to a meal last time we met for the first time. How about I treat you to a meal today

Meng Shuyu: No, it’s okay.

Lou Wenhong: Just do me a favor and let me have an explanation with my family.

Meng Shuyu: How about another day? I was a little tired from working yesterday and wanted to take a day off today...

Lou Wenhong: How about this? How about I treat you to a takeaway? You originally ordered takeout at home, right

Thinking that he would have to go out for a meal another day, it would be better to let Lou Wenhong order takeout today to save worry and effort, so Meng Shuyu sent the name of the community.

After chatting for several times, I switched back to Zhou Juan's WeChat message box and saw that the person on the other side was still motionless.

People who have just met her know that she orders takeout at home on weekends. Doesn't Zhou Juan know that and can't he come and take her to have a meal

This is the only day off this week.

She waited for him for a week, first thinking that he might be in a bad mood, and then thinking that he was busy on weekdays and might want to find a good day with good weather and beautiful scenery.

I have made so many excuses for him, but I can’t find one now.

Looking at the large open window on the opposite floor, Meng Shuyu closed the blackout curtains on the balcony.

On the opposite floor, Tan Qin was sitting on the sofa in the apartment, watching Zhou Juan holding his mobile phone and pacing back and forth in the living room.

"Didn't you say two days ago that we would talk about the salary system today? If you say you won't go to the company, you won't go. That's okay. You are the boss and it depends on your mood. I brought my laptop to the door. You can listen to my plan. "?" Tan Qin couldn't help but complain a few times.

Zhou Jun's hand hanging down by his side was stroking the screen of his phone, as if he didn't hear it.

Tan Qin closed the laptop, put it aside, and simply looked at Zhou Juan.

Looking at Zhou Jun's appearance, it looked very much like the time before they led a merger and acquisition case in the United States two years ago.

At that time, the merger and acquisition was just a step away. Due to the intervention of a third party, the other party's intention suddenly changed and hesitance was revealed.

At that time, they judged that there were two possibilities for the other party to back down. One was that he really preferred a third party, and the other was that he was pretending to want a higher stake.

Whether to add this code or not has become the biggest controversy.

There was a lot of noise in the conference room. Zhou Jun was the leader, and everyone was waiting for him to make the final decision.

The situation at that time left no room for any more testing with the other party, because once tested, the trap would be revealed, so the direction must be determined in the first sentence.

If you say this first sentence correctly, you will come back with a big victory; if you say it wrong, you will lose everything.

In the tug-of-war between people's hearts, the decision-making process is tantamount to gambling, and no one is absolutely sure.

Zhou Jun stayed up all night and made a decision: not to increase the stakes.

The other party softened their attitude the next day, and in turn coaxed them into submission.

They won the bet and won the merger.

Tan Qin folded his arms and looked at Zhou Juan: "I said you have disturbed the blind date, haven't they avoided you these past few days? That Lou Wenhong isn't such a big threat, right?"

Zhou Juan finally gave him a look.

At the beginning last night, he was also thinking, maybe it won't happen.

Just when he saw Lou Wenhong waiting for Meng Shuyu at the door of Mori Dai's rest room, he went to block the person.

Then it dawned on him what the real problem was.

The problem is that his current relationship with Meng Shuyu was obtained through a scam.

It is doubtful whether it was his method of manipulating people's hearts that worked for Meng Shuyu, or the person himself.

The evil power this scam gave him was that he could not be sure whether Meng Shuyu would be tempted if another person copied his method against Meng Shuyu.

Especially when this person is copying his methods, he is already a remnant who is in disarray and is about to surrender.

Seeing Zhou Juan's acquiescence, Tan Qin sighed: "You said you have this condition, can you have some trust in women? You haven't been a scumbag before, right?"

Tan Qin was just joking, but Zhou Juan actually laughed: "It's not a woman."

"That's a man?!" Tan Qin Tong stood up from the sofa in shock.

"In your dictionary, the only opposite of woman is man?" Zhou Jun raised his eyes and looked at him.

"Then..." Tan Qin reacted mid-sentence, "Oh, girl? Did you have a fucking puppy love? Why didn't I know?"

Zhou Juan said no more.

Tan Qin muttered and moved his shoulders, back and cervical vertebrae. He went to the balcony and looked at the building opposite for Zhou Juan: "It's already dinner time and I still haven't opened the curtains. Are you really not up yet or..."

Just as he was talking, Tan Qin suddenly paused and caught a glimpse of the car at the bottom of the building opposite: "Damn it, Zhou Juan, why do you really seem to have guessed it..."

Zhou Juan walked to the balcony, looked in the direction of his finger, and saw two familiar figures beside the car—

Meng Shuyu and Lou Wenhong.

When they got off the car, both of them were carrying paper bags in their hands. It looked like they had bought a lot of things outside.

"Isn't it true that you haven't been able to hold it back lately, and she thought she had succeeded in conquering it, so she went to find someone else?"

After Tan Qin said this, he glanced at Zhou Juan's face, closed his mouth and looked downstairs again, silently praying in his heart: Don't go in, don't go in, don't...

Meng Shuyu took Lou Wenhong into the door.

At the elevator door, Meng Shuyu took the takeaway in her hand and said to Lou Wenhong: "Just put your things in the elevator. There are only a few steps upstairs. I can get it myself."

Lou Wenhong smiled apologetically: "It's all here, let me bring it up for you. I didn't expect to order hot pot takeout and bring such a big pot. I originally wanted you to be able to eat hot pot at home, but now it's... I'm causing trouble for you."

Meng Shuyu said that she never expected that the "takeaway" Lou Wenhong said was not that he ordered takeout for her, but that he went to a hot pot restaurant to pack the soup base and ingredients and deliver them to her home.

Because she didn't give her a specific building number, Lou Wenhong called her after arriving at the gate of the community.

She was in isolation in her apartment at the time. When she got the call, she hurriedly changed her clothes and went to get it. She was stunned when she saw Lou Wenhong carrying three large bags of things.

Meng Shuyu was afraid that Lou Wenhong would say that he wanted to move into her house after he went upstairs. Thinking about it, it would be really inconvenient, so he shied away again: "No need, you have already walked such a long way, go and eat quickly."

"Okay, then I won't disturb you." Lou Wenhong put the paper bag into the elevator and said goodbye to her.

Meng Shuyu walked into the elevator and pressed down the floor, returned to the seventh floor, took the things into the house in two trips, poured a glass of water to quench her thirst after entering the apartment, and wondered whether Wenhong on the floor was Tiehanhan, or did he have any intentions? .

I thought about it and let it go. I won’t contact him anymore anyway.

After Meng Shuyu drank the water, he had no appetite after looking at the three big bags. He thought of taking a rest first and slumped back on the sofa again.

Lying on the sofa, she picked up her phone and unlocked it, and saw the reply that made her shut herself up.

She had just made up her mind that if Zhou Juan didn't come to her until dark, she would scold him.

Waiting for his random thoughts to start, he posted a post in the emotional group of a certain forum: The man couldn't help but kiss the woman the night before, but she pushed her away. The next day, the man never came to the woman to express his feelings. Why

A certain highly liked post was analyzed -

It all depends on the person. If the man is not sure about the woman’s intentions and he is sensitive, has low self-esteem or is shy, he may be using kissing to test whether the woman likes him. If he is pushed away and realizes that the time is not yet ripe, he will definitely Retracted.

Meng Shuyu immediately shook his head when he saw this hypothesis.

She confessed her love to Zhou Juan eight hundred years ago.

Zhou Jun's personality is completely incompatible with his sensitivity, low self-esteem and shyness.

So I went down to see another situation -

If this is not the case, then the man may be testing the woman's boundaries and finds that she cannot let go, so he pulls her down. To put it bluntly, he may just want to sleep with her and not fall in love.

After reading it, Meng Shuyu replied unconvinced: But the man and the woman have been ambiguous for a while, and it was the woman who pursued the story first from the beginning.

The phone vibrated, and the latest reply from the person who posted the message popped up: That is the most terrifying situation. If during the ambiguous relationship, the man neither rejects nor accepts the woman, but occasionally has intimate behavior with the woman, and then later Pretending that nothing happened, never taking the initiative, only waiting for the woman to give up, or a love rival appears before she becomes enthusiastic - this is the standard approach of a scumbag man trying to flirt with a girl. I just want to say four words: Sisters, run!

Meng Shuyu read it word for word, but before she could fully recover, her phone vibrated again.

A name that I had been looking forward to for a long time popped up from the message bar.

Meng Shuyu seemed to be rescued from this nightmare reply. She breathed a sigh of relief and was almost moved to tears. She quickly opened the message sent by Zhou Juan -

I drank too much last night and I didn’t stop you. If you mind, I’ll treat you to a meal.
