It was as if a string that had been stretched for a long time was suddenly plucked, and there was a vibrating reverberation in her ears. For a moment, Xu Qiao seemed to have withdrawn her soul, and stood motionless in front of Cheng Lang.
Of course, she was not unexpected about the current result.
When she was deceived by Cheng Lang back to China, she was indeed wearing tinted glasses. She suspected that his intentions for her were just to raise her as a canary for fun. She just thought she was down and out and easy to bully, but apart from her "glasses", And eyes.
Over the past few days, she has seen Cheng Lang try his best to give her equality and respect even though the two are completely unequal in status and status.
It is true that this may be the "prescription to the case" chosen by him who is well versed in the world, but no matter what, he has a hundred strong methods to force her to "submit", but he uses the one hundred and first method to give her free choice—— Even if she doesn't like reasonable people so much, she can't say that she is not moved by such a man.
In fact, a few days ago, in the cloakroom that shook her mind, when he held her face, she thought for a moment that if he kissed her, she might really be unable to refuse.
It was only later that her emotions settled down, and she realized clearly that he still owed her a confession.
Although adults may not need a long dissecting analysis of the mental journey of falling in love with each other, after all, there was a crack in their relationship - she still couldn't let go of why he rejected her so coldly at the beginning.
Xu Qiao came back from the vacant state and looked into Cheng Lang's eyes looking at her.
The warm wall lamp was projected into those beautiful peach blossom eyes, allowing her to see clearly that his eyes were not the frivolous and affectionate ones when he first met her, but rather cautious and serious.
Xu Qiao felt that she could no longer look into his eyes.
She may be so bewitched by him that she agrees directly.
"Let me think about it—" Xu Qiao dragged out the ending, put her hands behind her back, turned around and paced back and forth, calming down her chaotic heartbeat.
Cheng Lang looked at her, who was obviously very disturbed, but tried his best to pretend to take Joe calmly, as if he understood what she was struggling with.
That was indeed an unavoidable question between them.
So after thinking for a while, he tentatively asked, "Do you have any questions to ask me?"
"Oh," Xu Qiao turned around, "So you also know that you have something to explain to me?"
"Then you ask." Cheng Lang's smile carried a kind of helplessness that "can't hide".
"You already know what the question is, why do you have to tell me, can you just answer it?" Let the girl ask the question "Why did you reject me in the first place, and even pushed me away in disgust when I was hugged?" , It's too embarrassing!
When Xu Qiao thought "it's too difficult for me", Cheng Lang wanted to sigh a little.
He knew that he should take the initiative to explain and eliminate the gap between the two, but he might never be able to tell her the truth about this matter.
That was about seven or eight years ago. When he was a student at the beginning of love, he met a transvestite who was so good at dressing up as a woman—of course, it might be because he was blind and blind when he was young, in short, he almost fell into the trap of the other party.
After discovering the other party's true gender, he once felt very disgusted with touching women.
In his eyes, all women have become transvestites who can change at any time.
He knew that this was not the case, that it was just an exception, but he never got over the hurdle in his heart, and he never talked about it with anyone.
Because the knot was not relieved in time, this seemingly insignificant shadow gradually evolved into a psychological disorder in the next year or two.
Although Cheng Lang felt that Xu Qiao had the right to know this, to him, even recalling the whole incident was a kind of humiliation, let alone confessing to her personally.
After a brief silence, Cheng Lang chose a compromise method to explain to her: "I didn't treat you well at the beginning because I misunderstood that you were the kind of girl who took the initiative to show her personality."
Xu Qiao raised her eyebrows lightly: "What did this kind of girl do wrong that she doesn't deserve to be in your eyes?"
"That's not what it means, it's just that some of my previous experiences made me choose to keep them at a respectful distance."
Xu Qiao was stunned for a moment: "Could it be that you were scumbed by a very open girl?"
It was rare for Cheng Lang to choke, and just about to deny it, she blurted out in surprise: "But Shen Dang told me that you are still a baby!"
"..."
"What am I?" Cheng Lang was angry and funny, "When did he tell you?"
Xu Qiao covered her mouth.
Boss Shen, I'm sorry, I accidentally said something in a hurry.
"Just when you played cards at my place on Christmas Eve..." Xu Qiao rubbed his nose.
"What else did I tell you?"
"Do you have any secrets that I don't know?" Xu Qiao looked sideways at him.
"No." Cheng Lang regained his composure, "His expression was too rough, but the essence is correct."
"Then what kind of experience will make you cast a shadow on the open girl? You won't be..." Xu Qiao looked at him a little bit impatiently, "Damn..."
"How could it be?" Cheng Lang had a headache of self-inflicted evil, "It's just that I have seen a lot of girls like this abroad."
"Oh." Xu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. It's normal to think about it. There must be more women like Cheng Lang who are good-looking and rich, and they are loyal to him. Maybe someone has used some tricks to make him unhappy.
"Then why did you change your mind about me later?" As if desperately wondering when her boyfriend fell in love with her girlfriend, Xu Qiao got back to the topic again.
"Because I later found out that you are not that kind of girl, and," Cheng Lang smiled, "I seem to wish you were that kind of girl instead."
This sounded like a tongue twister, which made Xu Qiao's heart flutter.
"The timing of my action is really not right," Cheng Lang said sincerely, "I also thought about why I had to come to you after something happened in your house. But I figured it out these days."
"So why?" When Xu Qiao asked this question, she no longer wanted to pursue it. Her tone sounded like a child who was acting like a baby just to beg for sweets.
And Cheng Lang did prepare a candy.
He walked towards her again and stood in front of her: "Because of that opportunity, I found out that I don't want you to suffer outside, and I want to take care of you."
Xu Qiao looked at him steadily, his nose and eye sockets were sore at the same time.
It was uncomfortable not to ask clearly, but after asking clearly, I felt that I might be eaten to death by this man.
"Why are you so sensational all of a sudden!" Xu Qiao scolded him unreasonably.
"I thought we were talking about love." Cheng Lang moved closer to her, lowered his eyes and smiled and said, "Miss Judge, I have answered all your interrogations. Next, is it your turn to announce the verdict?" ?”
Xu Qiao's stomach growled inappropriately.
Xu Qiao snorted at him: "Didn't you hear that the judge is hungry? The judge wants to eat first!"
She just wanted to make him anxious for a while.
Cheng Lang smiled resignedly: "Okay, let's eat first."
It was still the same dining table, and they were still sitting face to face, but for this meal, both of them ate a little out of their wits.
The wound on Cheng Lang's right hand was scabbed, and he could basically use chopsticks. Because they were in a state of absent-mindedness, the two kept fighting with their chopsticks, catching the same piece of pork neck, the same prawn, and the same chicken wing.
Xu Qiao felt that Cheng Lang looked at her every time, like a big bad wolf looking at Little Red Riding Hood.
She suspected that if she nodded now, he would immediately take advantage of the dark moon and high wind to "rectify her on the spot".
So she procrastinated, planning to give him an answer tomorrow morning, so that at least there would be a buffer during the day, right
She made up her mind, she kept making excuses, and after eating, she said she wanted to repair the drawing, and after finishing the drawing, she said she wanted to take a bath, and after taking a shower, she just locked the bedroom door, everything was a big deal...
Before the auspicious word was pronounced in my heart, there were two "duk-duk" sounds from the bedroom door.
It didn't sound like Cheng Lang's firm knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Xu Qiao asked through the door.
"Miss Xu, I warmed you a cup of milk, drink it before going to bed." It was the voice of the aunt at home.
Xu Qiao still remembered Cheng Lang using the hotel waiter to lure her to open the door.
She refused: "No need, Auntie, I'm already asleep."
"That's good."
So just leave
Xu Qiao heard the sound of footsteps fading away, she tiptoed out of bed, just pressed her ear to the door, and wanted to confirm the movement, when the lights around her suddenly dimmed.
"?" Xu Qiao was stunned in the darkness, at the same time, she heard a low cry from her aunt in the corridor outside, wondering if she had bumped into something.
"What's the matter, auntie?" She hurriedly opened the door.
The extinguished light was turned on again in an instant, and this time Xu Qiao exclaimed: "Oh, I was scared to death!"
—Cheng Lang was standing outside the door, waiting for a rabbit.
And the aunt who "hit something" smiled kindly at the two of them in the corridor where the lighting was restored, and retreated with milk.
Xu Qiao was furious.
This dog man actually took advantage of her kind and soft heart!
"Are you a pervert, huh?" Xu Qiao questioned him with angry eyes.
"I did it wrong." Cheng Lang nodded and admitted his mistake frankly, "But I have a planning meeting tomorrow."
Xu Qiao was stunned: "So?"
"This plan will have a vital impact on Lanchen's development in the next five years and the nearly 100,000 employees of the group. If I can't get enough sleep tonight, it will seriously drag down tomorrow's work process."
"Then why don't you go to bed?" Xu Qiao looked at him.
"Going to sleep now is likely to open your eyes until dawn. Sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping wood. I decided to get my answer first."
Xu Qiao made a "wow" for his shamelessness: "It means that my nod can affect the fate of your family group. Should I be honored for this, Mr. Cheng?"
"No," Cheng Lang smiled and shook his head, "It's my honor."
Xu Qiao snorted at him and sighed: "Okay, then for the sake of the jobs of 100,000 people, I can only nod this way."
Cheng Lang laughed.
"What are you laughing at, go to bed when you're satisfied!" Xu Qiao made a gesture to close the door.
Cheng Lang raised his hand to block it, and squeezed into the door. The door closed with a "bang", and Xu Qiao locked herself and the wolf into a room.
"What are you doing?" Xu Qiao pushed her back against the corner of the wall.
"I want you to exercise your right as a girlfriend." Cheng Lang said with a smile.
If he directly said that he wanted to exercise his boyfriend's rights, Xu Qiao might kick him out right now.
But this statement seemed to arouse her interest.
"What right?" She blinked.
"Do you want to kiss me?"
