Pei Chengan's busy state at work has come to an end, and he has become busy in life.
He drove an hour to meet Xia Zhen after get off work every day. He knew that he had a good time with his girlfriend in the past half a month, and now he wants to make up for it when he has time.
They haven't known each other for a long time, and their relationship has just warmed up, so they have to maintain a good state.
In fact, he wanted to see Xia Zhen. In the past, he never expected to get off work earlier. Recently, starting from three or four o'clock in the afternoon, he looked at his watch very frequently. Because of this, the colleagues in the institute guessed that he was in love.
A colleague joked: "Let's have a meal together another day, let's see what kind of beauty has such a great charm, not only won the number one handsome guy in the biology world coveted by Wanhua, but also fascinated him white."
Pei Chengan: "Okay." Although his expression didn't look much different from usual, everyone is a colleague and friend who gets along day and night. Seeing his soft eyes at this time, he is obviously happy. As for why he is happy, of course it is because he thinks of him little girlfriend.
On the contrary, Zhen has been very busy recently, very busy. The company has some problems, and the company is trying to find a solution.
He was so busy that he forgot about Xue Chen's more frequent contact than before. Xue Chen seemed to be a different person recently, sending her WeChat messages from time to time, sometimes talking about "normal" topics, and sometimes asking her cold and warm questions, such as asking her to add clothes when the temperature dropped. Even order fast food for her and her colleagues.
Even if you become a boss, you don't need to be like this, right
His behavior was already obvious, Xia Zhen asked him around the corner, but he took it all away. Xia Zhen was quite distressed, so she could only mention Pei Chengan a little more when talking to him, hoping that he would retreat in spite of the difficulties.
At 7 o'clock in the evening, Pei Chengan called Xia Zhen again. In the afternoon, when the two were talking on the phone, Xia Zhen said that they might have to work overtime tonight. Pei Chengan called her when he got off work, but she didn't answer, so Pei Chengan drove over first.
The phone rang for a long time before it was answered, and Xia Zhen's slightly panting voice came from there.
"I was on my way to work just now, so I ran over when I heard the phone ring." Xia Zhen explained the reason for the delay in answering the phone.
"Still at get off work?"
"Yeah, I don't know how long I have to work overtime. I'm still very busy."
"Eaten dinner yet?"
"Eat." Xia Zhen replied, and immediately asked, "Where are you?"
"Outside your neighborhood."
"Ah? You're here, but I don't have time now, why don't you go home and rest early?"
"Well, you work hard and don't bother you."
"Oh." Xia Zhen's tone lowered. "Then goodbye."
"goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhen checked her phone. Not surprisingly, there were a few messages from Xue Chen and two messages from Pei Chengan. She tapped and listened, then put down her phone, and glanced at the vigorously growing pot of violets on the table, then stared blankly for a while, with a sleepy look on her face.
"Xia Zhen, come here!" a colleague shouted.
"Okay, let's come!" Xia Zhen immediately picked up the materials she had just sorted out and walked over quickly.
She quickly returned to work again.
Pei Chengan's car was parked not far from the fruit shop. At this time, there was a truck parked in front of the fruit shop, and the delivery man was carrying fruits back and forth from the car.
He opened the door and got out of the car, and a few minutes later got some bags of fruit from the fruit shop.
After returning home, Ms. Zhang was first surprised why he came back so early, and then surprised that he bought so many fruits, which were always available at home.
"Why don't you go on a date with Zhenzhen?"
"She works overtime tonight."
"Oh, that's it." Ms. Zhang nodded, and then asked tentatively, "How far have you and Zhenzhen developed?"
"What stage does Mom think we should be?" In fact, he doesn't know what stage we have reached now, nor what stage we should be in under normal circumstances.
"Have you held hands yet?" Ms. Zhang asked with a smile to ease her son's uneasiness.
"I have." Pei Chengan was always honest.
Ms. Zhang clapped her hands happily, "It's so fast, I thought you two would hold hands after knowing each other for three or four months." She is ten years old and doesn't even have a girlfriend. She is really worried.
Being a mother always has endless worries. Ten years ago, my son’s love letters were sent home. At that time, I was very worried about my son, and I was deeply afraid that I would become a grandmother at a young age. Now I'm not in a hurry to hug my grandson, if he can have a good relationship, I'm satisfied as a mother.
Pei Chengan lowered his head, he didn't say anything about holding hands with Xia Zhen a long time ago.
But from that day on, the two of them didn't hold hands anymore, and he suddenly realized that he seemed too conservative.
"Then... have you hugged?" Ms. Zhang was full of curiosity, and she suddenly became a little impatient, hoping to welcome her daughter-in-law into the door earlier, and they would have endless topics to talk about.
"Mom, this is my privacy."
"Look at your reaction, so you have already hugged me?" Ms. Zhang couldn't restrain her excitement.
"Where's the kiss?"
"I went to take a shower."
Ms. Zhang did not give up, and said to his back as he left, "Then when will you bring Zhenzhen home?"
"Unpredictable."
Ms. Zhang was disappointed. She had never seen Xia Zhen, only the photos, but she knew a lot about her from Ms. Tian. She sincerely likes the naughty and cute girl that Ms. Tian said, and she also looks forward to such a girl becoming her daughter-in-law.
She discussed with Ms. Tian that she would not let the two children "see their parents" easily, but should give them absolute freedom and not influence them.
After Pei Chengan took a shower, he carefully washed the strawberries he had just bought, and then packed them in a crisper.
He walked out of the kitchen with a fresh-keeping box, and Ms. Zhang said, "Why do you pack it so well at home? Bring it here."
"Don't you like eating strawberries?"
"I haven't eaten for a long time, but I still want to eat it. Didn't you give this to me?"
Pei Chengan let out a "hmm", then walked back to the kitchen, and brought out half a plate of strawberries that he didn't load just now, and gave it to his mother.
"Is this for Xia Zhen?"
"Um."
"Then hurry up and give these to her too." Ms. Zhang was very supportive. Although her son's methods were not overbearing, it was even rarer to find such a considerate man. I believe Xia Zhen would know how good he is.
"No."
When Pei Chengan was leaving the house, he used WeChat to ask if Xia Zhen was off work. It was not until he got in the car that he received a message from her, saying that he hadn't off work yet.
After Pei Chengan told her "work hard", he drove to her company.
I don't know why, Xia Zhen is not satisfied with his reply, what is working hard, and he is not her boss, what are you guys doing officially, hum!
An hour later, Xia Zhen finally walked out of the office building with her tired body. The colleagues in the same company went to the side of the road to take a taxi together. Everyone was tired, and they didn't talk much, and they lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones.
Xia Zhen was the same, even though she had read it before going downstairs and there was no text message from Pei Chengan, but she still felt that it might have just happened during the time when she was going downstairs? But no, she couldn't contain her disappointment.
A private car stopped in front of everyone, and everyone raised their heads, including Xia Zhen.
After seeing the familiar car and looking at the license plate number, Xia Zhen's heart skipped a beat.
"Who knows?" Xiao Li asked.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously not knowing each other.
At this moment, the door of the cab opened, and a tall man got out of the car.
The street lights were dim, and there were luxuriant banyan trees covering the already faint light. Everyone couldn't see Pei Chengan's facial features clearly, but what was certain was that his face was handsome.
Xia Zhen had already run to the car and opened the door immediately, and said to her colleagues, "I'm going home first, you wait for the car slowly, bye." Then she said to Pei Chengan, "Let's go."
Xia Zhen's movements were very quick, and Pei Chengan was also a little stunned. He nodded to her colleague as a signal, and then sat back in the car.
Xia Zhen rolled down the car window, smiled harmlessly and waved goodbye to her colleagues again, then rolled up the car window under their stunned eyes, and urged Pei Chengan to drive.
She had the idea of hiding Pei Chengan, so she was in a hurry just now.
The car drove for a few minutes and stopped, and then a fresh-keeping box appeared in front of Xia Zhen, and she reached out to take it. "What's this?"
"strawberry."
"Oh, thank you." There was a smile on her face. "By the way, why are you here?"
"It's right to pick up your girlfriend from get off work."
Xia Zhen raised her eyebrows, "Then how long have you been waiting for your girlfriend?"
"46 minutes."
"It's been so long, why didn't you tell me?" She thought that he had neglected her, and was depressed for a while.
"I want to surprise you."
"Aren't you afraid of being frightened?"
Pei Chengan sighed, and said, "It seems that I was really shocked."
Xia Zhen knew she was wrong, and explained: "My colleagues are all gossips, so they subconsciously pulled you away." Xiao Li threatened her all day long that what would happen if she saw Pei Chengan, and she believed that she could tell anything.
Pei Chengan understood. Xia Zhen opened the fresh-keeping box, picked up the fruit and forked a piece to eat, the sweet and sour taste spread in her mouth, she let out a sigh: "It's so sweet! Where did you buy it?"
"Tiantian Fruit Shop."
"The one in my neighborhood?"
"Um."
"Then why wasn't the one I bought two days ago so delicious?"
"Is it delicious?" Pei Chengan asked.
Xia Zhen nodded, "Have you never tasted it?"
Pei Chengan: "No."
"Why don't you taste it? What if it doesn't taste good? What if I don't like it? You don't worry about it?" Xia Zhen asked deliberately.
Pei Chengan smiled, "I bought it for you, and I want you to be the first to eat it. Besides, I know it will taste good."
"You are so amazing!" Pei Chengan coughed lightly as he said this without admiration.
"Here, I'll give you one." Xia Zhen forked a strawberry and put it near Pei Chengan's mouth, "I didn't touch the fork with my mouth just now, so I didn't drool."
Pei Chengan: "It doesn't matter."
