"That happened a long time ago. Aqiang must have a new lover, right?" Xiyin said blankly, as if answering Yi'an's question, more like reminding herself.
Even if she and Aqiang had any affection for each other before, it was all in the past.
Life is a one-way street that keeps moving forward and cannot look back. If she and Aqiang missed it at the crossroads, there would be no chance to start over.
"Yes, there are many new lovers! However, I am not saying bad things about the boss. He is too cold and ruthless towards women. When women want to come and go, he is never nervous and does not hold back. It doesn't matter whether they come or not. As if it didn't matter, you said that there were a few women who could stand this kind of ruthless treatment, so they ran away crying in the end, but the boss didn't care at all.
But there are so many stupid women who know that their bosses are heartless, but they just refuse to look back. Even ten cows can't pull them back! "Yi An stared at Yu Luo's back in the hotel lobby and said angrily.
"He has had such a bad temper since he was a child, but many girls really like him." Xiyin recalled that when he joined the basketball team in middle school, he had many supporters.
Although Aqiang made her feel very distressed, she seemed unable to resist the temptation and still liked to talk about him with others. Just listening to Yi'an talk about his experiences over the years made her listen with interest.
"Although there are many women who like the boss, I can see that the boss only likes you, Miss Cheng. I really can't tell that the boss looks so cold but is actually so affectionate. I think it's so funny!" Yi'an laughed. got up.
Xiyin blushed at his laughter and walked away.
The storm that had been brewing for a long time finally descended on the mountains at dusk.
The storm raged wildly, causing trees to fall, walls to collapse and roads to collapse wherever it went.
Lightning like silver snakes tore through the dark night sky, and bursts of thunder were deafening, frightening people.
The storm caused widespread power outages in the mountainous area. At midnight, the hotel's backup generator set also declared a temporary strike after making several loud noises.
Cheng Xiyin tossed and turned on the hotel bed. The lightning and thunder outside the window kept her awake.
Compared with the raging wind and rain outside the window, the indoors without electricity supply were extremely hot and stuffy.
After vaguely hearing the twelve bells ringing from the ancient clock in the hotel lobby, Xiyin finally sighed and gave up the plan of meeting Zhou Gong.
She opened the refrigerator and wanted to get a can of iced coffee. She accidentally saw the beer by the door. She hesitated for a second and finally chose beer.
She was influenced by Aqiang. She stood in the darkness and smiled alone. She opened the back door of the room and walked to the wooden steps in front of the small garden.
There were several simple round wooden pillars standing on the steps, and red imitation lanterns hung under the eaves. The faint red light swayed in the wind and rain.
The wind and rain outside were raging wildly, but they couldn't sweep up the steps.
She sat against the pillar and watched the violent storm in the dark night. The thunder and lightning in the sky made people feel a strange sense of security.
"Can't sleep?" Suddenly, someone asked from behind.
Without turning around, Xiyin could recognize A Qiang's voice.
There was a faint fragrance of soap in the air. She turned around and saw Aqiang still wearing a vest and trousers, with wet black hair shining like water, looking like he had just come out of the bathroom.
"Good girls don't drink." Shu Qiang glanced at the beer in her hand and said lightly.
"Don't lecture me. Don't you drink too much?" Xiyin said.
In fact, she wasn't very good at drinking. After just two sips, she felt a little dizzy. It's just that she likes to sit outside, watch the rain, and drink cold beer, which gives her a refreshing and refreshing feeling.
Shuqiang didn't argue with her, sat down next to her, reached out to grab the beer in her hand, and poured it down his throat.
"You're so savage!" Xiyin couldn't get over him and watched him drink all the beer, so she had no choice but to raise her fist and hit his arm.
Outside the eaves, there was wind and rain, thunder and lightning, and the two of them sat side by side, falling into an atmosphere of silence.
Cheng Xiyin secretly looked at Shuqiang's profile. He silently and intently stared at the rain curtain outside the eaves, his expression a bit gloomy.
She remembered that in the morning, when he heard the news that she was getting engaged, he immediately stood still. He stared at her for a while before letting her go.
Before leaving, he said coldly: "So what?"
She didn't know what was going on in his mind, and it made her feel uneasy.
Suddenly, a gust of wind mixed with sand and dust rushed towards him, and Xiyin let out a soft cry.
"What's wrong?" Shu Qiang turned to look at her.
"The sand blew into my eyes." Xiyin squeezed her left eye, unable to blink the sand away, and she cried in discomfort.
"Don't rub your eyes with your hands, let me do it." Shu Qiang grabbed her hand that couldn't help but rub her eyes, knelt on one knee in front of her, lowered his lips, and blew gently into her eyes.
After a while, the sand left her eyes obediently.
But Shuqiang was unwilling to leave, and his thin lips lingered between her beautiful brows and refused to leave.
Did he want to kiss her? Xiyin straightened her body nervously and distanced herself from him.
Feeling her resistance, Shu Qiang sat back down, silently took the last sip of wine, and suddenly asked: "What kind of person is he?"
