When Qian Heng followed Cheng Yao reluctantly to the carnival, the look of lovelessness on his face became more intense.
This temporary playground by the beach is full of noisy voices and crowded crowds. In addition to the college couples who love each other, there are also young parents with children, but most of them are middle and high school in an ambiguous state little boy little girl.
On the whole beach, there is almost no place where a person can stand quietly. Just as Qian Heng stood on a relatively empty sandy ground for a while, a few children who were chasing each other and playing sand fights flew by. , With the help of the wind, the flying sand scattered Qian Hengyi's trouser legs.
On a business trip to City B, Qian Heng only brought formal clothes, which seemed out of place on this beach at the moment, but Cheng Yao, who was also wearing formal clothes, did not feel awkward at all.
Qian Heng followed his gaze and saw that Cheng Yao was happily running towards the coastline at the moment. She was holding black stilettos in her hands, and she was chasing the waves with her bare feet. Floating, black hair complements her white face, she is smiling at the moment, feeling the touch of the waves hitting her legs, her lips are rosy, behind her is the rising sun and the sparkling sea, Her whole body was photographed as if bathed in light.
On the way to the carnival, she and Qian Heng confided in them why they wanted to come to this temporary playground by the sea.
She has never seen the sea.
The sea wind is very strong, and the waves are also very strong, but Cheng Yao stands by the sea, not caring that the sea water wets her skirt at all, she chases the sea, chasing the seabirds passing by the sea, her eyes are bright, and her face is full of words. He was unabashedly excited, like a child seeing the sea for the first time, constantly printing his own footprints on the beach, and watching the sea wash them away with joy.
Qian Heng thought, as an assistant lawyer, I really have never seen the world.
Although Qian Heng is usually very busy, when he was a teenager, his whole family would go to the seaside for vacation every winter. They would never choose the low-quality beaches in City B. They went to the Maldives and Tahiti, the worst. Also Saipan, Bali.
After going to those foreign beaches, looking at this beach in City B in front of me, it is almost impossible to catch the eye. The sand is too thick, the sea is not clear enough, and there is no scenery around the sea. It is simply a negative score.
However, Qian Heng took another look at Cheng Yao, who seemed to have won a five million lottery because of such a sea, and felt that although he didn't want to admit it, he, an assistant lawyer who had never seen the world, was actually quite cute.
"Boss! This way!"
The assistant lawyer who had never seen the world waved to himself, his face full of excitement.
When Qian Heng came to her side, he found that she was squatting down and looking at something on the beach intently. Qian Heng lowered his head, only to realize that what Cheng Yao saw was a hermit crab crawling on the beach at some point. Cheng Yao was watching the hermit crab slowly crawling with a look of admiration as if treating a rare animal.
Qian Heng thought, really... I have never seen the world!
However, for some reason, Qian Heng couldn't help but look at this assistant lawyer who had never seen the world before. Maybe it was because he had never seen such a species in his world.
Qian Heng just watched Cheng Yao follow the hermit crab and walk a short distance away from him. The hermit crab had already left, but Cheng Yao didn't know where to pick up a branch, and she was squatting on the beach and drawing something.
"I finally came here, I want to make a souvenir!" After a while, Cheng Yao finally raised her eyes from the beach, she looked at Qian Heng, "Boss, let's take a photo of 'Traveling Here'! "
With almost no time for Qian Heng to refuse, Cheng Yao pulled over a young boy who was walking by the beach: "Can I trouble you to take a picture of us?"
The boy was a little surprised. He took a look at Cheng Yao, blushed a little, and his voice stuttered: "Okay... okay, no problem."
Qian Heng paid attention to the boy, and was dragged by Cheng Yao to the beach where she was gesticulating just now without knowing it.
"Okay, here it is."
Only then did Qian Heng subconsciously glance at the beach under his feet.
Seeing this, he almost laughed angrily.
A line of large crooked characters stretched across the beach—
"Qian Heng and Cheng Yao are here for a visit"
It's really a "visit here" photo...
Near this line of writing, there is a pile of shells. It seems that this is the "trophy" Cheng Yao found just now after squatting for so long.
The little boy smiled at Cheng Yao: "Can we shoot?"
"It's okay, it's okay!"
The little boy picked up his phone to take a few pictures, then looked at the results, and then raised his phone again: "Your boyfriend's expression is too serious, smile! Then come closer!"
Before the two of them had time to clarify, this enthusiastic little boy ran over directly and personally guided the poser. He took Qian Heng's hand carelessly, and let his arm wrap around Cheng Yao's waist: " You want to hug your girlfriend like this!"
Under his guidance, Qian Heng's hand lightly touched Cheng Yao's waist. Almost immediately, he withdrew his hand and subconsciously apologized: "I'm sorry."
Cheng Yao smiled without distraction: "It's all right." Then she moved closer to Qian Heng, waved at the boy and said something.
However, Qian Heng could no longer hear what Cheng Yao said. Cheng Yao got too close by himself, so close that he could smell her peach-flavored shampoo, which was a bit too sweet.
It smells good.
It's a pity that just when Qian Heng was about to continue to distinguish whether there were other flavors in the peach flavor, the flavor disappeared.
Cheng Yao almost jumped and ran to the little boy, took back her mobile phone, looked at the photos, thanked her, and ran back with a happy face.
"Boss, your expression is still too serious, as if you are going to attend the National People's Congress." Cheng Yao took out her mobile phone to share this photo with Qian Heng while talking, but she didn't finish her sentence. Cheng Yao suddenly called out, "My shell!!!"
A wave came and was about to sweep away the shells piled on the beach. This wave is really strong, Cheng Yao intended to rescue the shells that she finally collected, but unexpectedly, just as she grabbed the shells, she was chased by the high waves and had to run back in a hurry.
Although she ran very fast, she couldn't run as fast as the waves, and the waves washed up on the beach, and the splashes caused wet Cheng Yao.
Qian Heng finally couldn't help it: "Are you an idiot?"
Cheng Yao was a little embarrassed, but she grinned, and she spread her palms, very proud: "Look, I rescued them all."
On the palm of her hand was a handful of not-so-good shells, some were dull in color, some were broken, and not beautiful.
There were drops of spray on her hair, but she smiled innocently and without haze, like a rose that was soaked in dew and bloomed in full bloom.
Qian Heng turned his eyes away, took off his coat, and threw it to Cheng Yao as a head covering.
"Hey?"
"Put it on."
Cheng Yao held Qian Heng's coat with a dazed look on her face: "But boss, I'm not cold." She blinked, and then suddenly realized, "Is it because you think it's too hot, but you don't want to carry it by yourself? So give it to me." ?”
…
"idiot."
This time Qian Heng almost gritted his teeth.
He looked towards the sea not far away: "The white shirt on your top is wet, it's too see-through."
Cheng Yao glanced at herself, blushed, and put on Qian Heng's coat almost immediately.
The coat that fit Qian Heng's body perfectly, when Cheng Yao put it on, she looked like a child who had stolen an adult's clothes. Her whole body seemed to be trapped in the clothes, making her appear younger.
After putting on her clothes, Cheng Yao regained her vivacity: "Boss, let's go over there and have a look!"
She stood on tiptoe and looked at the carnival game booth not far away. Her eyes were full of longing. Qian Heng didn't speak, but followed Cheng Yao's bouncing footsteps step by step.
As soon as she arrived at the game and small souvenir stalls, Cheng Yao was quite dazzled. She took photos and picked out the small gifts. When she turned her head, she realized that her boss had disappeared.
Do you think this place is too boring, so you turn around and leave
Cheng Yao put down the gadgets in her hands, turned around and wanted to look for Qian Heng, but after walking a few steps, she saw Qian Heng picking something at a small stall not far away. When Cheng Yao approached, she realized that he had already picked something. I'm done paying.
There is actually something in this carnival that can catch the eyes of Qian Hengfa, the leader of the Five Poison Sect? ?
"Beauty, here's your change."
At this moment, Cheng Yao was stopped by the owner of the small gift booth in front of her. She turned around to collect the change, then turned around, but Qian Heng had disappeared.
With curiosity, Cheng Yao went to the stall that Qian Heng had just left and took a look. It turned out to be a small stall that sold shells. There are also a variety of styles, and some of them are quite dreamy.
The more Cheng Yao watched it, the more she liked it, but unfortunately, the quantity was limited. Apparently, Qian Heng picked out more than half of them just now, so Cheng Yao could only pick a few more eye-catching shells because of her boss's "leftovers".
As a result, when she had just finished buying shells, she went to another jewelry stall, and Qian Heng, who had disappeared for no reason just now, suddenly appeared.
Cheng Yao was about to accuse Qian Heng of picking out all the beautiful shells first, when Qian Heng threw a bag of things to her.
It was a tattered plastic bag that seemed to be picked up randomly from the beach.
Cheng Yao opened the plastic bag suspiciously—
Inside are shells, all kinds, beautiful shells.
Cheng Yao's eyes were sharp, and she almost recognized several of them that Qian Heng bought at that shell stall just now, but obviously, he didn't know which other shell stall he bought some more at, and now Cheng Yao was holding the plastic bag , actually felt a little heavy.
"boss?"
Qian Heng didn't even look at Yao, but he said two words like gold: "Here."
Hey? ?
Cheng Yao was stunned for a moment before realizing it. Looking at these beautiful shells, she couldn't help laughing: "Thank you..."
As a result, before she could finish her thank you, she was interrupted coldly by Qian Henggui.
"What kind of shells did you pick up just now? It's so ugly, you have the nerve to call them shells."
Anyway, Cheng Yao was very happy: "Thank you boss for buying me so many shells!"
Qian Heng glanced at the plastic bag in Cheng Yao's hand, and almost immediately denied it: "I didn't buy it."
Cheng Yao:? ?
Qian Heng turned his gaze away, and under Cheng Yao's astonished gaze, he blushed and said calmly, "I just picked it up by the beach."
kindness? ?
Open your eyes and talk nonsense, so this is the case? ?
Cheng Yao was so shocked that she forgot to expose Qian Heng for a while.
However, Qian Heng continued to be noble and cold without realizing it: "Everyone is human, and the difference between them is really great. Look at what you picked up, and then look at what I picked up. If you pick up such ugly shells, Cheng Yao, you really have never seen the world. It really disappoints me!"
Cheng Yao looked at Qian Heng delicately: "Well..."
"In the future, don't rush to the beach just because of such ugly broken shells. What if the waves are swept away?" Qian Heng glared at Cheng Yao, obviously not finished reprimanding him, he said coldly, "And the beach The most dangerous thing is not this kind of waves. Most people know how to be prepared for these waves. The most dangerous thing is the rip current, and they are swept into the sea without knowing it."
Qian Heng's words were naturally poisonous, but Cheng Yao seemed to be immune to his poison.
Qian Heng is like a puffer fish, and Cheng Yao is used to how to deal with those poisonous internal organs. She is like an experienced chef, who can skillfully remove those poisonous parts, and then cook delicious puffer fish soup.
Although he looked noble and glamorous, Qian Heng was concerned about himself.
Although he looked disgusted with himself, Qian Heng bought shells for himself on purpose.
Although he scolded himself for his handling of Tang Bing's matter, Qian Heng was actually worried that he would be hurt.
Although reluctantly, Qian Heng still accompanied him to this carnival...
Cheng Yao looked at the plastic bag in her hand, and wanted to laugh for some reason. The stalls selling shells naturally had their own shop logo packaging bags. In order to prevent Cheng Yao from finding out, Qian Heng didn't know where to find it. This tattered plastic bag is a deception.
Considering his boss who loves cleanliness, this is really embarrassing for him.
At this moment, only this line appeared in Cheng Yao's mind——
The man was silent and the woman was crying, the well-known industry leader went crazy picking up garbage bags on the beach for lying...
After thinking about it, Cheng Yao laughed out loud.
Qian Heng was naturally puzzled, he frowned: "What are you laughing at? I'm training you, but you still laughing?"
Looking at Qian Heng's serious duplicity, Cheng Yao couldn't help it. She wanted to press her lips tightly, but the corners of her mouth still raised unconsciously: "I... I thought maybe the sea breeze was too cold just now. The nerves around my mouth were blown, and the corners of my mouth are twitching now!" Cheng Yao followed Qian Heng's example, opened her eyes and said nonsense, "Boss, I'm not laughing, but the corners of my mouth are twitching!"
"..."
—
Anyway, Qian Heng didn't pursue Cheng Yao's "hippie smile" when he lectured, the two wandered through the small stalls along the road, and then came to the small game area of the carnival, Qian Heng naturally felt these childish games Without squinting, she wanted to pass through quickly, but Cheng Yao was attracted by a small game. Standing in front of the game booth, she couldn't move her legs for a while.
It was a simple two-person cooperative whack-a-mole game. The game was not difficult. A total of four groups participated in the competition, and the group with the highest accuracy and the fastest speed won.
"Boss, play this game with me!"
Qian Heng almost decisively refused ruthlessly: "No."
"Why?!"
"It's too naive and doesn't fit my status as a law firm partner."
"..."
Cheng Yao wanted to ask, what happened to your law firm partner? Could it be that if you are a partner in a law firm, you don’t have to eat, drink, shit and pee? Or can you outsource things like shitting and peeing that don't fit your status
But does Cheng Yao dare to confront the boss so directly? Must not dare.
Fortunately, Cheng Yao also has a trump card: "Boss, as you said, you will agree to whatever request I make today. Then my request is that you play whack-a-mole with me, and you must win!" Cheng Yao shook her phone, "Don't forget, I have recording evidence."
It's a pity that Qian Heng doesn't have the spirit of contract at all. He sneered, and then ruthlessly dragged Cheng Yao away from the whack-a-mole game booth.
Cheng Yao was furious: "You broke your promise! You breached the contract! As a legal person, you know the law and break the law, breaking the oral agreement!"
"I have money, and I'm willing to pay compensation for breach of contract." Qian Heng's face was red and his heart was not beating. Come to work? If everyone abides by the law, you will lose your job."
"..."
What kind of unreasonable words are these!
"If you change other requirements, you will be satisfied."
Cheng Yao could only beg bitterly: "But I just want this one!" She glanced at the prizes in front of the game booth, "I just want the surroundings of this oversized Pikachu doll!"
It was only then that Qian Heng noticed a few giant Pikachus placed beside the game booth. These Pikachus were different from the usual Pikachus. They looked really cute wearing a fire-breathing dragon headgear.
"I'll buy you ten when I go back."
"You can't buy it!" Cheng Yao said sadly, "This model of Charizard Pikachu is limited in China, and you can't buy genuine copies online. They are all pirated copies of low quality..."
Cheng Yao is already desperate to persuade Qian Heng. Her noble boss pays almost 2 million points of attention to her own image. It is a miracle that she can condescend to come to this kind of carnival. If she wants him to play this carnival with her This childish game is probably second only to the probability of a comet hitting the earth.
Although she was reluctant to part with her, Cheng Yao also accepted this setting. She forgot to glance at the giant Pikachu again, and then walked forward.
In the end, her boss called her coldly: "Where are you going?" Qian Hengyan gave the order concisely, "Come back."
"What are you doing back here?"
Cheng Yao felt aggrieved, didn't you let me stay? Why don't you let me go? Do you want me to be so painful that I can't get it and still look jealous and heartbroken
"Come back and play moles."
Cheng Yao was at a loss for a moment, did she hallucinate? Back to whack-a-mole
Qian Heng frowned: "I'll give you ten seconds to come and play the mole. If the time expires, this offer will be void."
Qian Heng's expression looked a little impatient, but I don't know if it was because the sun was a little hot, making him a little hot. Cheng Yao found that Qian Heng's ears were slightly red.
Cheng Yao was stunned for a moment, and couldn't care about anything else, so she hurried back and said, "I'm coming!! I'm coming!!!"
—
The carnival was crowded with people, and the whack-a-mole game attracted many couples. Cheng Yao hurriedly followed Qian Heng into the queue, and after waiting for a while, it was their turn.
The whack-a-mole competition started with four pairs of duos.
Cheng Yao is very familiar with playing this kind of game. When playing hamsters, she is a god-level operation. The "gopher" in his early years is always caught off guard, and when he reacts, the "gopher" has slipped away!
When he missed the first time, Cheng Yao was still hindered by Qian Heng's status as the boss, so he didn't dare to say anything, but as the game progressed, when Qian Heng made mistakes or missed again and again, Cheng Yao finally couldn't sit still .
While she was busy hitting her gopher, she kept monitoring Qian Heng from the corner of her eye.
As a result, the more supervision the more angry.
"Second from the left! Second from the left! Second from the left!!! Where are you looking?! Play the game well, don't miss out!!!"
"Right! The right side! Damn! Have you had breakfast? What's wrong with you?! Can't even hit that one?!"
For the gophers who kept missing, Cheng Yao almost wanted to growl: "The one in the middle! The middle! Hit the middle! How about your hand-eye coordination?! Your level of whack-a-mole is not as good as that of elementary school students! If you use whack-a-mole To test intelligence, your level is definitely mentally handicapped!"
In a match, except for the first half when Cheng Yao still held it rationally, in the second half she completely forgot about Qian Heng's identity, roared and let herself go.
It wasn't until the unexpected loss in this game that Cheng Yao suddenly remembered that the person who played the game with her today was not a bad friend like Qin Qin, but...
It's her dark-faced boss...
E-sports has no love, and whack-a-mole has no colleagues either...
Qian Heng pursed his lips tightly, his handsome face was full of storms to come.
Cheng Yao stammered: "No, boss, I didn't mean that, please listen to my explanation..."
Qian Heng didn't speak, but just looked viciously at the couple who had won the game and were taking away the big Pikachu.
Then he finally turned his eyes to Cheng Yao, Qian Heng gritted his teeth and said, "Come again."
Cheng Yao:? ?
Before Cheng Yao could react, Qian Heng dragged her into the whack-a-mole team again.
Although I was very moved by the fighting spirit of the boss, it was a pity that in the new round, although Qian Heng had improved a bit, he was still defeated by a high school couple who participated together.
Cheng Yao watched the pair of high school students take away another Pikachu, envious, but at this moment her heart has calmed down. Qian Hengneng played two rounds of whack-a-mole with her, and she was already very grateful. Even if Qian Heng dragged her away at this time, she would have no complaints.
Unexpectedly, instead of dragging her away, Qian Heng held her back.
"I don't have this word lost in Qian Heng's dictionary." Her boss frowned, "Come again!"
... It's a pity that there are many things, and a fighting attitude is not enough...
Qian Heng lost another game...
"continue!"
It's a pity that Qian Heng belongs to the type of the more frustrated and braver, knowing that there are tigers on the mountain, he prefers to go to the mountain.
Cheng Yao never expected that in the end, she would become herself playing hamsters with Qian Heng...
Perhaps all things are indeed conserved in quality. Qian Heng almost met gods and gods and gods and Buddhas and Buddhas in the legal profession, but after all, no one is perfect. He is an idiot when it comes to this small game!
However, this idiot friend is very strong. Cheng Yao accidentally glanced at Qian Heng beside him, and saw that he had a serious expression on his face, as if facing a difficult and miscellaneous case. It's a pity that the hand-eye coordination is not good, and the one on the left forgets the one on the right.
Qian Heng, who is noble, glamorous and invincible all day long, unexpectedly showed deep despair, frustration and helplessness in front of whack-a-mole...
Another round ended, and without any suspense, the team of Qian Heng and Cheng Yao lost again.
"Boss, why don't you forget it..."
According to Qian Heng's behavior, he might not be able to win another ten rounds, so he might as well give up early.
In the end, Qian Heng insisted: "No, you must win." He glared at Cheng Yao, "I use your year-end bonus to order you, you must accompany me to win."
Cheng Yao almost wanted to growl, brother, how did my year-end bonus offend you? !
Yao endured it, and finally couldn't hold back: "Boss, when the Lawyers Association organized a fraternity, do you still remember what you said when you were sitting on the bow?"
"what?"
"You said, sometimes I really want to experience the feeling of losing." Cheng Yao said desperately, "Look, don't you feel it now? It's rare to have a chance to experience losing, so don't worry about winning, even though you lose It's very embarrassing, but this is life, sometimes giving up struggling is a virtue!"
"Cheng Yao, when I want to deduct your year-end bonus, did you give up struggling?"
"..."
Qian Heng snorted coldly: "Come again."
…
Probably because Qian Heng's goal is to win, and as each game started, he didn't feel immersed in the game at all. Instead, he had an attitude of overcoming the five-year college entrance examination and three-year simulation to pass the college entrance examination.
A total of twenty-eight innings were played.
In the twenty-ninth round, Qian Heng finally won the championship because the other players in the same group were weak chickens.
"Two, this is your prize Pikachu. Thank you for your patronage, I hope you have a good time today."
The waiter at the whack-a-mole game booth kindly brought Pikachu to Qian Heng.
Cheng Yao was almost at a loss for this unexpected joy. She didn't expect that although the process was a bit tortuous, she actually got this Pikachu.
After being paranoid for so long, Qian Heng was very calm about finally winning the game, and he didn't feel too much excitement. Instead, seeing this huge Pikachu, he showed a relieved expression on his face that he had finally achieved it. It's just that Cheng Yao took a closer look, and Qian Heng returned to his usual cold poker face, which made Cheng Yao wonder if he had an illusion just now.
