A high fever lasted until midnight and healed up. Fortunately, it was only a temporary cold.
Ruan Jiujiu's mood was complicated.
Thinking of the kiss last night, she was still a little embarrassed to see Cheng Juan, but because the two of them had a cold and a fever, they added an indescribable... funny aura to the embarrassment.
Ruan Jiujiu covered his face.
Other people's love affairs are always sweet and sweet, so why do the two of them always have accidents.
At this time, Cheng Juan came out of the study and had already changed his clothes. It was a black down jacket again, but the sweater inside was replaced with a light gray one, and there was a cute little octopus logo on the chest. This kind of wonderful and lively painting style is definitely not the clothes that Cheng Juan bought himself. His aesthetics are almost pure colors of black, white and gray, without patterns or colors, and the styles are all casual and non-distinctive clothes, which are very, very, very casual. public.
If it weren't for that face, he would definitely be a very simple and gregarious code farmer.
"The company's clothes again?"
"Well, do you want it?"
"… don't want."
Cheng Juan asked slowly, "Let's go?"
"Oh well."
Ruan Jiujiu gave a dry cough, picked up the bag as if nothing had happened, and followed Cheng Juan out the door. The two sat in the back row, and Ruan Jiujiu looked down at his phone. After another day, Weibo had gained hundreds of thousands of fans, and the number of forwarded private messages and likes was about to explode. Ruan Jiujiu had to set all reminders to no reminders.
The driver brother played a soft music, the car window was opened a crack, Ruan Jiujiu looked out the window, the cold wind blowing on her face.
It seems that everything is reborn overnight, and the greenery on both sides of the street adds a bit of greenness. The slender and tall saplings stretch their branches and leaves, and the buds are brewing, waiting for the spring.
Ruan Jiujiu took a deep breath and narrowed his eyes.
"It's great, spring is here again."
When I live alone, I am most afraid of autumn, and the longest thing is winter. Living with Cheng Juan now, it's been a long time, and they have encountered many things, but they haven't paid much attention to the changes of the seasons. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, Ruan Jiujiu can't tell for himself.
Cheng Juan said, "In two weeks, the apricot and cherry blossoms will all be in bloom. Do you want to go to the flower show?"
Ruan Jiujiu was taken aback for a moment, and then showed his face and responded: "Okay."
Speaking of which, the two of them have never dated seriously. Cheng Juan actually proposed to go out for a walk instead of staying at home to salt fish, which can be said to be a very progressive move.
Ruan Jiujiu looked back and smiled, a pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes were bent into beautiful arcs, the tails of the eyes were slightly raised, and the eyeballs were dark and shining, as if there were thousands of stars sleeping in them, and because of the joyful mood, there were moving sparkles. brilliance.
His eyes fell on her soft, pink and tender lips.
Know the taste from the marrow.
Cheng Juan suddenly realized what kind of tormenting mood was behind this word.
He held Ruan Jiujiu's hand. Her fingers were soft and could be easily held in his palm. Under Ruan Jiujiu's dumbfounded gaze, he slowly moved forward... Then, Ruan Jiujiu slapped him on the face.
Ruan Jiujiu was expressionless: "I'll catch a cold, don't touch me."
The driver in the front row couldn't hold it back, and made a very light breath sound, as if trying to hold back a laugh, his whole body was like a wind-up doll, rattling up and down.
Cheng Juan: "..."
Aware of the boss's death stare, the driver silently shut up, and lowered the baffle in the middle of the two rows to cover them.
Ruan Jiujiu said that he is very vengeful.
This dog man, afraid of catching a cold, would not touch her, and kissed her again in order to share her sinking. She was deeply concerned about Cheng Juan's behavior.
Until she forgives him, he won't even try to touch her.
The door of the company's elevator opened, Ruan Jiujiu stepped forward, and Cheng Juan followed quietly behind. When I ran into company employees on the way, they all nodded cautiously.
Within half an hour, company gossip was circulating in gossip.
—The big boss is a strict wife!
—The proprietress walked in front without even turning her head, she was so handsome.
— Tsk tsk tsk, I guess I knelt on the remote control last night.
…
If Ruan Jiujiu heard the rumors, he would probably be depressed to death. She was just walking ahead of Cheng Juan, so how could there be so many strange scandals.
Ruan Jiujiu entered the office, and Cheng Juan followed very naturally, but was stopped by Ruan Jiujiu at the door.
"What are you doing?"
"Just walk around."
Ruan Jiujiu: "... Go back to your office."
Cheng Juan demonstrated by himself what it means to be rooted and not move.
The two were in a stalemate, and Tu Nan's voice was heard from a long distance away.
"Have a meal together tonight?" This was Tu Nan's question.
"No." This was the cold answer of the little secretary.
"I know you're shy. It's okay, I..."
"Boss, this is sexual harassment in the workplace, do you need me to educate you?"
Tu Nan choked: "..."
The little secretary who was always by his side had an indifferent expression on his face, and copied the same poisonous tongue he used to treat his competitors on Tu Nan: "Is it because the boss has not had a sexual partner for a long time, and the dopamine that is difficult to release is at fault? Sperm You should also be more sensible, don't treat me as other women who can say whatever they want. During work, I hope you can restrain yourself, otherwise I will have to consider the high salary that the headhunter offered me last night."
Tu Nan was surprised: "A headhunter poached you? The salary is high? I'll give you a raise, it's not a problem!"
The little secretary shook her head: "Although the salary is good, it won't be tempting enough to poach me away."
Tu Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"What fascinates me is that the boss's IQ and EQ are quite online."
"..."
It took a while for Tu Nan to realize that he was scolded by the little secretary for turning a corner. His face turned green and then pale, the secretary gave him a sideways look, and left without giving any face.
Tu Nan:? ?
What dignity does he have as a boss? Even his secretary can mock him, what else can he say
The place where the two talked was not far from Ruan Jiujiu's office. Ruan Jiujiu listened enough, and then opened the door and walked out, asking, "What's going on with you?"
Tu Nan was like a fellow countryman meeting a fellow countryman, with tears in his eyes, he immediately grabbed Ruan Jiujiu's arm and pulled her back to the office. As soon as he entered the door and bumped into the boss who was sitting in the office, Tu Nan was embarrassed. From the moment he entered the door, Cheng Juan stared straight at the place where Tu Nan held Ruan Jiujiu's arm. That look reminded Tu Nan of the fear of working overtime.
Tu Nan quickly let go of his hand.
He has already offended his secretary today, and if he offends another boss, this day will be impossible.
Ruan Jiujiu put his arms around his shoulders in a funny way, and asked, "So what were you doing just now?"
Tu Nan said with a gloomy face: "It's just the normal interaction between men and women. No, sister-in-law, you don't know, I haven't had time to tell you. Yesterday I wanted to discuss the specific situation of the drama with you, but I saw you kneeling If you cry on the ground, you won't..."
"Okay, okay, please skip this part, thank you." Ruan Jiujiu smirked.
Tu Nan didn't realize that he had offended the proprietress too.
He touched the top of his head and said, "I just found out that my secretary has a crush on me."
Ruan Jiujiu: "Hmmmm???"
Faced with Ruan Jiujiu's reaction, Tu Nan was even more aggrieved: "Sister-in-law, what is your reaction? Am I wrong?"
Ruan Jiujiu: "... That's right, that's right, you continue to talk."
"In short, I found that she pays attention to me. Not only in work, but also in life. Last week, I went on two blind dates, and she was not happy. She had a cold war with me for more than a day. Also, she always Get my attention on purpose, and then pretend she doesn't care by doing the exact opposite."
Among other things, Ruan Jiujiu remembered Tu Nan's two blind dates. He threw a negotiating job to the secretary, which caused the secretary's plan to ask for leave to fail, and the little girl was unhappy.
Hearing all kinds of "proofs" from Tu Nan, Ruan Jiujiu was very sure. This guy must have been single for too long, and had developed a paranoia called "When the opposite sex looks at me, I think what is a better name for her child".
These are all Tu Nan's unilateral feelings.
Ruan Jiujiu asked patiently: "Then... is there any real evidence, has she confessed to you?"
As soon as he said this, Tu Nan's eyes lit up.
"Yes, I have!"
Last time, he was a little tired and fell asleep on the desk for a while. The secretary reminded him that there would be a meeting in half an hour, and Tu Nan sat up straight. At this time, he and the little secretary met each other's eyes, and he clearly saw that there was a shy smile in those eyes that were always cold, and she pursed her lips slightly, wanting to speak.
"boss… "
Tu Nan's heart beat quickly.
"It turned out that I was planned by the phone. I was really pissed off. Do you think there were other reasons besides confessing your love at that time?"
Ruan Jiujiu: "..."
That day, if she remembers correctly. At that time, she happened to be leaving Cheng Juan's office and ran into Tu Nan's secretary. The little girl laughed for a long time, Ruan Jiujiu couldn't hold back the question for a moment of curiosity, then looked at the secretary with a suppressed smile and said, "Boss Tu slept on his stomach for a while, and when he sat up, he had a round watch on his forehead." Yin, especially like Erlang God."
Looking at Tu Nan with a wavering expression in front of him, Ruan Jiujiu couldn't bear to poke him.
"This is all your unilateral idea. If you can't be sure, talking to the secretary like this is sexual harassment and an office romance."
Tu Nan looked terrified: "She will definitely confess to me."
Ruan Jiujiu: "Good luck."
Now that Tu Nan is here, Ruan Jiujiu forcibly pushed Cheng Juan to Tu Nan, telling the big boss not to stay in her office and disturb her cleanliness. There is still a lot of work to do today, so Ruan Jiujiu is not in the mood to argue with them. At this time, Ruan Jiujiu suddenly understood Secretary Tu Nan's mood somewhat.
When I can't stay away, I always want to smash a man's head with a hammer!
I don't know how long Tu Nan's daydream can last.
Ruan Jiujiu was rushing to work when the door was pushed open and it was Lao Meng who came in.
Ruan Jiujiu glanced at him from the corner of his eye and said, "Is there something wrong?"
Lao Meng asked with a smile: "Today's chirping is still diligent chirping."
"Say something quickly."
"I'll give this to you first. You little girl, you didn't tell me when you got a set of souvenirs. My wife likes it very much. She said she wanted to ask you to draw an original manuscript."
"Huh? Souvenirs?"
Ruan Jiujiu looked at Lao Meng blankly. Lao Meng shook a keychain in his hand. It was a small ice sculpture of a heroine image. It was exquisitely crafted and vivid. It was about as long as a finger. The souvenir was officially announced by Jiacheng today, and it was also posted on Weibo by the painter Stupid Bird Flying First.
Ruan Jiujiu was busy drawing, so naturally he didn't notice it.
She looked at the little ice sculpture, surprised and delighted, but Cheng Juan turned it into a keychain.
Thinking back to Ruan Jiujiu, it was a pity that the ice sculpture stayed for too short a time, but now it is better, it will be preserved forever. It turned out that Cheng Juan asked her for a photo for such a purpose.
Her heart warmed, and she took the keychain and shook it.
"So lovely."
"And one more thing."
"what?"
"The day after tomorrow, if you have time, there will be a small party. They are all colleagues. Some of them are my friends. I will take you to see the world."
Ruan Jiujiu was flattered: "This... is this okay?"
"Just remember to dress up nicely." Lao Meng touched Ruan Jiujiu's head with a smile, as if treating his own child, "That's great, if it wasn't for my wife's health, I would I want a girl, that brat in my family is flying around all day, it's not fun at all."
Hearing Lao Meng's description, Ruan Jiujiu couldn't laugh or cry: "How can I describe my children as fun. Also, I am not young anymore."
Recently, her hair has grown a bit long, and Ruan Jiujiu tied a small knot behind her head with a small rubber band, making her look more and more like a young and playful schoolgirl. As a result, everyone who was normal looked at Ruan Jiujiu, and the big boss in their minds became a potentially rich man with special hobbies.
Ruan Jiujiu was naturally very grateful to be taken to the party by Lao Meng. In this circle, she has no place to stand, and Lao Meng brought her in step by step.
Ruan Jiujiu said seriously, "Thank you."
"Hey, don't be so polite."
The souvenir of the ice sculpture was hung on the phone by Ruan Jiujiu, and the villain dangled in front of her, with a full sense of presence, which caused Ruan Jiujiu's anger towards Cheng Juan to disappear. She thought, sometimes Cheng Juan is a bit of a dog, but it's not without merits. Sincere surprises can move her very much.
Sitting on the sofa, Cheng Juan caught a glimpse of a smile on Ruan Jiujiu's lips from the corner of his eye.
He seemed to be in a good mood when he came back.
Ruan Jiujiu noticed his gaze, and shook the decoration on the phone: "This is a gift from you, thank you~"
Such small things can be so happy. Cheng Juan put his hands on the back of his head and looked like he was watching TV, but because of Ruan Jiujiu's good mood, he also subtly became happier.
He said slowly, "then when will you give me a present?"
The promised birthday was ruined by him.
It was agreed to reward his performance, and the cake was thrown at the scene of the car accident and disappeared.
Cheng Juan asked confidently, but Ruan Jiujiu said angrily, "I gave you a gift." Although it was just a small thought, she liked the small stones she brought back very much, and she still had a stone bracelet on her hand.
Cheng Juan: "?"
Ruan Jiujiu "..."
Cheng Juan: "??"
Facing his blank stare, Ruan Jiujiu sneered and said, "Don't you think you forgot all the pebbles I gave you."
Cheng Juan looked trying to remember, and after a while he asked hesitantly, "Sheep dung ball?"
"Besides, I'm about to turn my face against the sheep dung ball, thank you!"
Your friend Grumpy Ruan Jiujiu is online now.
She really can't expect this dog man to show what is called romance. Ruan Jiujiu glared at him and began to interrogate Cheng Juan: "The sheep dung ball I gave you... Bah! Would you throw away the pebble I gave you?"
Cheng Juan looked serious: "Do you need me to look for it?"
Ruan Jiujiu: "... why don't you lose yourself."
But it's quite unnecessary to blame Cheng Juan for a small stone. If you lose it, you lose it, and Cheng Juan doesn't like wearing jewelry, so it's only natural that he didn't take it to heart. It's just that she still felt a little bit lost in her heart, her own thoughts were discarded at will, as if she didn't even care about herself.
But think about it, at that time Cheng Juan didn't like her, wouldn't it be normal to just throw her aside
Ruan Jiujiu comforted himself and was finally comforted.
"Okay." Ruan Jiujiu stuffed the phone into his pocket, "I'll take a shower first."
The muffled thunder gradually rose outside, a gust of cold wind passed by, and it was estimated that there would be another light rain in the middle of the night. Recently, due to the weather, Ruan Jiujiu's wardrobe was a little damp. After a few days of sunny days, she would hang out the clothes to let the smell out.
The hot water splashed on the tiles, and the hot water steamed and steamed, making people feel hot all over.
Ruan Jiujiu took off his clothes and stood under the shower to take a shower. Her soft and fair body was dyed a layer of pink, her legs were straight and slender, and her body proportions were excellent. It was a picture of a beauty bathing, and only a mirror could appreciate it.
She lathered her hair and rubbed it. The fragrance of cherry blossoms was light and not very strong, and it smelled very comfortable. Ruan Jiujiu's mind was full of the small party he attended the day after tomorrow, how he should dress up better.
Do you wear a long skirt? ... Will it look too deliberate.
Wearing jeans doesn't seem too formal.
It seems that I still have to ask Lao Meng how to wear it for a specific party. Thinking of this, Ruan Jiujiu raised her head and let the warm water splash on her face. The foam on the hair is like a silky creamy mousse, slowly sliding down from the hair temples and dripping on the fair and lustrous skin.
"Crack."
There was a weak sound, like the sound of cutting off the current, and the warm light in the bathroom was cut off instantly, falling into dead darkness.
Ruan Jiujiu was taken aback and hurriedly turned off the shower.
There was still foam on her face, so she quickly picked up a towel and wiped it off, and asked Cheng Juan loudly, "Is there a power outage? What's going on?"
Through the door, Cheng Juan said, "Don't be afraid, the whole community has lost power."
Ruan Jiujiu: "..."
It doesn't stop in the morning and night, but the power cuts off when she is in the middle of taking a shower. The bathroom was pitch black, and it suddenly turned from light to darkness, as if blind, Ruan Jiujiu couldn't see anything.
Ruan Jiujiu took a step forward cautiously, not touching where the clothes were.
At this moment, through the frosted glass of the bathroom door, a bright light suddenly illuminated half of the bathroom, so that Ruan Jiujiu could see clearly.
Through the door, Cheng Juan's vague and gentle voice of inquiry came: "Do you see clearly?"
"See clearly!"
After Cheng Juan turned on the lights, Ruan Jiujiu hurriedly washed the foam off his hair with water, then wiped off the water droplets on his body, and changed his clothes. When she walked out the door, the room was pitch black. Cheng Juan was leaning against the wall, copying his pocket with one hand, and lighting up the room for Ruan Jiujiu with his cell phone.
Ruan Jiujiu asked distressedly, "When will I be able to call?"
Cheng Juan said, "The circuit is being rescued, and we may have to wait for a few hours."
The community is an older house, and it is quite normal for the equipment to fail occasionally. Probably no one would have guessed that Jiacheng's boss and his wife lived in a dilapidated small house that they thought didn't fit well.
"There will be a power outage. But it's so early, I can't sleep."
Ruan Jiujiu paused, and said, "Why don't we..."
Cheng Juan, who was leaning against the wall, stood up straight, his eyes lit up.
"Why don't we watch ghost movies! I have them in my notebook."
Cheng Juan: "..."
The author has something to say: Ruan Jiujiu: I don't know why, but I feel that Cheng Juan is not very excited.
