Hearing the phone ringing, Shen Mi subconsciously prepared to answer it, but was stunned when he saw the caller ID on the screen.
The group of people fell silent, and their curious eyes wandered between Xie Rongzhuo and Shen Mi.
Just when Shen Mi looked up at a loss, Xie Rongzhuo hung up the phone.
"Wrong number."
After saying that, he leaned forward slightly, picked up the wine in front of him and drank it.
His words are actually thought-provoking.
How could such a call be made to the wrong number? If someone else had said this, people might have believed that Xie Rongzhuo was an extremely cautious person and would never have made a wrong call to his ex.
The atmosphere in the private room became more and more ambiguous as the silence lasted longer.
Until someone broke the silence with a laugh: "What are you looking at?"
Zhang Zhiqing hugged Shen Mi's arm and said, "Could it be that Mi Mi is secretly dating my uncle without telling me? It's nothing, I just dialed the wrong number!"
Shen Mi suddenly couldn't tell whether Xie Rongzhuo had made a wrong call or not.
But why did he choose to drink after fighting once
A girl gossiped: "Since you made a mistake, why don't you call another one, Uncle Xie?"
Zhang Zhiqing looked at Shen Mi and saw that she looked unhappy. She glanced at the girl who was talking and laughed, "Well, whose turn is it? Keep going."
I thought, if Xie Rongzhuo really has a white moonlight, what will happen if Shen Mi finds out.
Even if this person exists, he will not exist!
Ever since the phone call, Shen Mi became absent-minded, and she was still distracted when it was her turn to throw darts.
"Mi Mi, it's your turn."
"… OK."
Shen Mi stared at the rapidly spinning turntable, praying in his heart that he would not select any weird questions this time.
The dart flew out, and this time Shen Mi hit: Kiss the person on your right.
To her right is Xie Rongzhuo.
"… "
Because of the little episode just now, everyone was very excited and couldn't wait to watch the fun: "Miss Shen, drinking again this time will be boring!"
Zhang Zhiqing said seriously, "Yes, there is no such rule. You have to follow it every time you drink. You have already drunk it just now."
"Can't I?"
It was Shen Mi's first time playing the game and he didn't understand the rules. He also didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so he had to bite the bullet and look at Xie Rongzhuo, asking him what he meant with his eyes.
She doesn't care.
With the way he looks, it's not certain who will get the upper hand if they kiss him.
Xie Rongzhuo turned his head and asked knowingly: "What are you looking at me for?"
"Boss, look," Shen Mi was extremely panicked, and pretended to be calm and said, "Do you want to..." She hesitated to speak.
Xie Rongzhuo raised his eyelids: "Do you want it?"
Shen Mi: “…”
How to answer this!
Silence for a few seconds.
Xie Rongzhuo: "Come whenever you want."
Shen Mi:
"Wow!" The crowd cheered and everyone raised their mobile phones to record this thrilling moment.
"Kiss, kiss, kiss!"
Someone turned on the wall lamp in the corner, and Xie Rongzhuo's handsome face and tall figure became clear. Shen Mi held his breath, looking at his eyebrows, nose, and finally his lips.
Suddenly I feel a little dry mouth.
In just a few seconds, a thin layer of sweat had already seeped out of the palms of my hands.
On the contrary, Xie Rongzhuo was very calm. He was not wearing a coat, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His shirt was tucked smoothly into his trousers. He sat casually, with his long legs seemingly nowhere to go. Outside of work, he was always so lazy and calm.
Shen Mi moved closer to him, suggesting that he could start, but Xie Rongzhuo did not cooperate. He maintained the same sitting posture as before, looking down at her, as if waiting for her to take the initiative.
—Can’t he just cooperate
Unable to tell whether he was embarrassed or annoyed, Shen Mi just went for it, grabbed Xie Rongzhuo's shirt, and half-knelt on him.
Xie Rongzhuo probably didn't expect her to be so proactive. His body stiffened for a moment and he slowly lowered his head.
Feeling his breath hitting her, Shen Mi became so nervous that she almost suffocated.
Looking at himself in Xie Rongzhuo's dark pupils, Shen Mi blinked and suddenly didn't know what to do.
"Can't kiss?"
Xie Rongzhuo's voice was very soft, as if he was whispering to her.
"… "
Shen Mi wants to die.
Her wrist was caught, and Xie Rongzhuo suddenly pulled hard. Shen Mi was caught off guard, and her body lost support instantly, and she fell on him. The next second, Xie Rongzhuo held the back of her head, two fingers against the back of her neck, and his thumb gently pressed her lips.
He lowered his eyelids, lowered his head, and kissed his thumb.
There was a buzzing sound in my head, and everything around me became unreal, as if it was muted.
Shen Mi stared at Xie Rongzhuo's eyes in a daze. He looked so focused that she ignored the fingers between their lips.
It was like I really kissed him.
The whole process takes less than five seconds.
Shen Mi felt as if she had kissed him forever.
"Ahhh, what a match! Kill me to help them out!"
"Keep kissing! Don't stop!!"
The cheers in her ears became clearer and the temperature on her cheeks grew higher and higher. Fortunately, Xie Rongzhuo let her go.
The finger pressed on her lips paused for a moment, and the slightly cool fingertips brushed the corner of her lips, pressing lightly intentionally or unintentionally.
Shen Mi's eyelashes also trembled.
Knowing that Xie Rongzhuo was looking at her, she hurriedly avoided his gaze and sat up straight as if nothing had happened.
“… We’re done kissing.”
“I know, I know,” a group of screaming chickens nearby said, “We recorded it all!”
Zhang Zhiqing: "I recorded it too! I'll send it to you."
Shen Mi: “…”
Xie Rongzhuo retracted his gaze, picked up the wine in front of him and took a sip. The wine was cold, but it couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart.
He lowered his head and adjusted his watch, then picked up his coat. "You guys have fun, I have something else to do. Put the bill on my account."
Shen Mi looked at the time. It was already half past ten. She had to get up early to go to work tomorrow.
“… I have to go back too.” She picked up her bag and smiled brightly, but only her eyes betrayed her panic. “Thank you everyone for tonight, have fun.”
“Okay, okay,” the girls collectively showed an expression of “we understand”: “Go back to sleep!”
Shen Mi: “…”

After coming out of the private room, neither of them spoke a word. They just walked out side by side. Even the empty square could not dispel the thick awkwardness.
Lao Zhou had already driven the car over. Xie Rongzhuo opened the door and motioned for Shen Mi to get in.
"I'll take you back."
Shen Mi pulled her long hair behind her head, and used this action to slightly turn her head away, and said with evasive eyes: "Then thank you for your help."
Xie Rongzhuo stared at her profile for a few seconds, then bent down and got into the car.
The car was speeding, and the hustle and bustle of the city was blocked out by the car windows.
Shen Mi lowered his head and looked at his phone, not daring to click on the video sent by Zhang Zhiqing.
Thinking back to the kiss just now, the temperature that had finally dropped started to rise again, and she seemed to smell the clean and light scent of Xie Rongzhuo again.
Can’t think about it anymore!
Regardless of whether it was a wrong number or not, since the call was made, it means that Xie Rongzhuo's "ex" exists.
But he seemed to regret it later, so he chose to drink.
It's not appropriate for her to be so obsessed with other people's boyfriends.
Shen Mi felt upset for a while.
On second thought, who hasn't had an unforgettable first love? Moreover, with Xie Rongzhuo being so handsome and surrounded by so many beautiful and outstanding girls, it was normal for him to have dated before.
Since he is the ex, it means it is over, and she cannot be considered to have stolen someone else's love.
But what if the rumors about Bai Yueguang are true and Xie Rongzhuo hasn't let it go yet
never mind.
Just work hard.
Making money suits her better than falling in love.
She lowered her head, the screen of her phone was off, but she was still absorbed in reading it. Her face showed a lot of expressions, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing, and sometimes pursing her lips, looking very troubled.
As if she suddenly figured it out, she raised her head abruptly and her expression gradually became serious.
It's a bit like throwing away a broken jar.
It also has a bit of a sense of being disillusioned with the world.
Xie Rongzhuo asked: "Are you thinking about what happened just now?"
Shen Mi continued his words: "You are quite good at kissing."
Xie Rongzhuo: “?”
Shen Mi: “…”
What is she talking about?!
In fact, her original intention was to praise Xie Rongzhuo for being good at the kissing game and knowing how to use his fingers to block.
But now it seems hard to explain.
Xie Rongzhuo's eyes shifted downwards, staring at her lips: "Did I touch you?"
Shen Mi looked away: "... No, I didn't touch him."
Xie Rongzhuo smiled and said, "Then isn't it too early for you to praise me?"
"… "
*
The familiar gate of the residential complex appeared in his sight. Shen Mi unbuckled his seat belt, waited for the car to stop, and pushed the door to get out.
"Shen Mi." Xie Rongzhuo's voice suddenly sounded: "The new hairstyle looks good."
He noticed that she had changed her hairstyle!
Shen Mi paused, turned around and smiled: "Thank you. And just now... thank you too."
Xie Rongzhuo's gaze lingered on her lips for a moment, then he raised his eyes and asked, "Thank me for what?"
Thank him for helping her out when she was in a dilemma and kissing her through a strange angle
"… "
This cannot be said.
"That's it, thank you." She got out of the car and ran back to the community as if escaping.
Old Zhou followed his boss's gaze and did not drive away immediately. He smiled and said, "Secretary Shen is so cute recently."
Xie Rongzhuo chuckled: "She was originally just a little girl."
*
After returning home, Shen Mi threw himself onto the bed and rolled around twice while hugging the pillow.
That sweet, bubbling feeling of "online romance" came back.
She didn't want to touch such an unrealistic thing, but this thing just had to come to her on its own.
Now that he had come to her, she had no reason to push him away.
Men are stumbling blocks on the road to success, but Xie Rongzhuo is not.
Xie Rongzhuo is her master, creditor and boss.
She needs to know if he has someone hidden in his heart, understand his needs in time, and help him solve the problem!

During lunch break the next day, Shen Mi poked Ning Xinlei, who was lying on the desk playing with her phone. Ning Xinlei immediately took off her headphones and asked, "What's wrong? Is there any new gossip?"
Shen Mi handed her a cup of coffee, pointed upstairs, and lowered his voice: "Let's talk outside."
There was gossip to listen to, so Ning Xinlei ran very fast and the two of them came to the rooftop.
Shen Mi thought for a while and said, "You said last time, how do you test whether a man likes you?"
Ning Xinlei was stunned for two seconds before she remembered: "Last time I said that the boss might like you? Your reaction arc... is too long, isn't it?"
"No, the boss already has Bai Yueguang, how dare you try?"
Xie Rongzhuo's white moonlight was clearly tailor-made for her.
It couldn't be more fake.
"How could that be?" Shen Mi laughed dryly, turned around and looked at the traffic in the distance: "It's someone else. My good sister, I'll ask for her."
"Then she asked the right person."
Ning Xinlei took a sip of coffee and began to give Shen Mi some advice: "I'm telling you, when it comes to dating, directly confessing your feelings is the worst option. If the other person doesn't like you, you won't even be able to be friends anymore. If you meet someone with bad character, they will keep you hanging and brag about you chasing after them. It's so embarrassing! Don't ask me how I know."
"Well, I won't ask." Shen Mi corrected guiltily: "It's not me, my sister."
Ning Xinlei: "Your sister wants to pursue that man, what is his character like?"
Shen Mi: "He's pretty good, not a scumbag."
Ning Xinlei curled her lips: "Some scumbags are not good on the surface, they are secretly bad! Don't believe them. The main thing is, what is your sister's relationship with him?"
Shen Mi: "We can talk about anything."
"That's easy. You can ask your sister to take the conservative approach - the rival stimulation method." Ning Xinlei looked mysterious: "Of course, you don't really want to make her jealous. Just say someone is pursuing her and ask him to help check it out. See how he reacts and then make your plans!"
Why does this method feel familiar
Oh, Zhang Zhiqing has used this before. She used her childhood sweetheart to stimulate the boy she liked, but the boy was not stimulated and her childhood sweetheart blocked her first.
Shen Mi didn't want to be blocked by Xie Rongzhuo: "Are there any other, more novel methods?"
Ning Xinlei shook her head: "No. Love happens in such a rudimentary way."
"Okay, then I'll... I'll let my sister try."
“Keep in touch!”
Back to the workstation, there are still ten minutes before work starts.
Shen Mi clicked on Xie Rongzhuo's WeChat: Master, good afternoon~
The office door was open. Xie Rongzhuo looked down at his cell phone, then looked up. His expression clearly said "Are you busy?"
Meeting his gaze, Shen Mi lowered his head guiltily and continued typing.
Shen Mi: Let me tell you something
Shen Mi: Someone is chasing me
After sending it, she raised her head and observed secretly.
This time Xie Rongzhuo didn't look at her. He lowered his head, probably replying to her message.
However, Shen Mi waited for a long time but received no new news.
"… "
Ignore her
Just as she was about to turn off her phone, a new message popped up in the chat box.
dsm: Bring it out and let me see it.
He even added a period.
Shen Mi immediately called Ning Xinlei.
"I asked, and he asked me to bring the person out for him to see."
The man sitting at the desk a few meters away suddenly raised his head and met Xie Rongzhuo's gaze. Shen Mi remembered that he could lip read, so he quickly turned his chair and turned his head to the side.
"My... my friend, what should I say now?"
Ning Xinlei: "He is, not angry at all?"
Shen Mi stole a glance at the man in the office.
"You don't look angry."
Ning Xinlei: "Then he should be very handsome."
Shen Mi: “?”
Ning Xinlei: "He is preparing to compete with his love rival face to face. Only a man who is confident in his looks and abilities would dare to speak so arrogantly!"
Shen Mi was secretly happy: "You mean, he likes me - a friend. Right?"
"Not necessarily." Ning Xinlei analyzed responsibly: "It could also be that the elders want to help keep an eye on things."
Shen Mi held his forehead with his hand: "So, your method of judging is to see if the other person is angry or not? If they are not angry, you can't judge it?"
Ning Xinlei: "That's right."
Shen Mi: “…”
I asked out of loneliness.
"But it works every time! If a man likes you, he will definitely be jealous at this time! If you don't believe me, just keep observing and see if he will—"
"Alei, it's time to go to work. I'm going to hang up now. Bye."
Shen Mi stopped worrying about this problem and started to concentrate on his work.
Two hours have passed since I finished processing the information.
When she looked up, she saw Xie Rongzhuo standing in front of her workstation. Shen Mi stood up quickly, smiling a little stiffly: "Boss, what can I do for you?"
Xie Rongzhuo's tie seemed to be loosened a little, and his face showed no emotion. He glanced at her, turned around and said, "Come to my office."
Is he unhappy?
Xie Rongzhuo is jealous!
Shen Mi suppressed the upward curve of his lips, followed him into the office obediently, and closed the door behind him.
In fact, Xie Rongzhuo rarely closes the shop except when discussing matters with important clients. He seems to enjoy looking at the green plants outside.
But at this moment, Shen Mi inexplicably felt that Xie Rongzhuo was looking at her.
He leaned back on the couch, unbuttoned two buttons of his shirt, and pointed to the side for her to sit there.
When Shen Mi sat over, Xie Rongzhuo raised his eyelids and asked, "Who is chasing you?"
He looked straight at her, his eyes were full of oppression, and Shen Mi said calmly, "A man."
Xie Rongzhuo: "Better at kissing than me?"
Shen Mi was stunned for several seconds before he was sure what he heard.
“I haven’t really experienced it.”
Perhaps this question had too much of an impact on Shen Mi. Under Xie Rongzhuo's fascinating gaze, she spoke out her true feelings: "How about you kiss me again?"
Xie Rongzhuo narrowed his eyes, looked at her intently for a few seconds, and suddenly raised his hand to pinch her chin.
His fingertips were slightly cold, and a tingling sensation spread throughout his body. Shen Mi's mind instantly flashed back to the scene on the sofa in the KTV last night, and he quickly turned his head away in panic.
Xie Rongzhuo turned her face and said, "Don't you want me to kiss you?"
"… "
"What are you hiding from?"
"… "
The author has something to say:
He got an A!!!
