After arriving at Luo's, I hid in my office alone. Perhaps it was because of the cold medicine that I started to feel drowsy now.
I lay down on the sofa wearing my coat and thought for a while, but soon I got a stomachache. I opened my eyes and went to the tea room to find something to eat.
The most humane thing about Luo's is the benefits and treatment for its employees. The tea room always has snacks, fruits and various drinks available 24 hours a day. As long as you like it, you can have something to eat at any time.
I was in a bad mood, and my taste was also bad. I ate a few bites of bread just to fill my stomach.
When I was about to get off work at noon, my cell phone rang, thinking it was Xu Lu, but when I took it out, my eyes, which had been dull for two consecutive days, finally brightened up.
It's Luo Xiangdong.
Looking at the word '东' displayed on the screen, I couldn't tell whether I was happy or unhappy. I was a little excited anyway.
After hesitating for a few seconds, I answered the phone and pretended to be calm and said, "Mr. Luo."
Luo Xiangdong's voice came from the mobile phone: "Come to Huayue Building after get off work at noon."
I asked: "Are you meeting a client?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "You have really fallen into the eyes of money. If you meet me and have dinner with me, I won't give you a commission, will you come?"
Listening to his familiar taunting voice, I felt sour in my heart. I wanted to say no, but I had no reason. I didn't want to get angry with Luo Xiangdong because of my willfulness. He is such a smart person, and I was afraid that he would find out that I liked him.
So I forced myself to calm down and replied aloud: "Of course I will come, I won't go if someone invites me to dinner."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Okay, you clean up and go over now. I will be there in half an hour."
I hummed and hung up the phone.
Holding the mobile phone, I persuaded myself that people should really be content and not do anything. I was just used to Luo Xiangdong. I always felt that I should be with him every day. I wished I could eat three meals a day together. But thinking about it on the other hand, who am I to him? They are just friends at best, so why should we expect extravagant treatment that even our girlfriends may not enjoy
With this in mind, I took a deep breath, packed up, got up and walked out.
When I got off work at noon, there were many vehicles on the road and it was a bit congested. When I arrived at Huayue Building, it was already fifteen minutes later than expected. I walked quickly upstairs. I was afraid that Luo Xiangdong had been waiting for too long, so when I opened the door of the private room, I said in my mouth: "There are too many cars. I promise I will leave early..."
I wanted to say, I promise I'll be out early. The reason why my unfinished words came to an abrupt end was because I saw that not only Luo Xiangdong was alone in the private room, but also Du Ting.
Du Ting sat on Luo Xiangdong's lap and put her hands around his neck, while Luo Xiangdong put one hand around her waist. The moment I opened the door and walked in, the two of them were kissing passionately.
God knows the pain I felt like being struck by lightning. I looked at the two of them without blinking, until Du Ting first looked sideways, then jumped off Luo Xiangdong's lap and sat down next to him with a blushing face.
After realizing it, my first reaction was to lower my head and then turned around to go out.
Luo Xiangdong sighed, and then said: "Where are you going?"
I was confused, yeah, where am I going? What am I hiding from
There was silence for more than three seconds. When I raised my head again, my face was red. Of course, this was not because of embarrassment, but because all the blood rushed to the top of his head.
I really admire myself for being able to think of the following wisely at this time. I said: "It's my fault for not knocking on the door. I'll exit and re-enter."
After that, I really stepped back from the door, reached out and closed the door.
I held the doorknob tightly, tears already rushing to my eyes, but I told myself rationally that I couldn't cry, I absolutely couldn't cry, it would be over if I cried.
I took a deep breath, blinked my eyes, and after making sure the tears were gone, I reached out and knocked on the door.
Luo Xiangdong's voice came from inside the door: "Come in quickly."
I pushed the door open and said with a smile, "Hey, are you all here?"
Look at me, how funny.
Du Ting awkwardly stretched out her hand to straighten her hair and greeted me with a smile: "Ms. Liang."
I turned my smile into a mask and covered my face. Hearing this, I replied enthusiastically: "Miss Du."
Luo Xiangdong looked at me mercilessly and teased: "I've been a monster all day long."
I smiled and said, "Isn't this just to add some laughter to you?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "Do you see me smiling?"
I said: "You are not smiling now, but you are smiling in your heart."
Luo Xiangdong glared at me, then threw the order book to me and said, "Just order, I'll be waiting for you."
I opened the menu and said, "I don't know how to order, so you can order."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Du Ting insists on treating you to dinner. Of course, the guests must order."
I raised my eyes and looked at Du Ting. Du Ting had a beautiful smile on her beautiful face. She looked at me and said, "Miss Liang, you are so funny."
I replied without changing my expression: "This hasn't been fully realized yet."
Du Ting said: "Seeing you bickering with Xiangdong, I feel like I'm listening to cross talk."
I asked: "Don't you usually quarrel with him?"
Du Ting shook her head, her expression completely different.
Luo Xiangdong said: "Do you think everyone is the same as you?"
Maybe he just said it casually, but my heart suddenly hurt.
Yes, Du Ting is different from me. She was a woman who could sit beside him openly; and I was a tease who barged in to watch their show of affection.
If I had known that Du Ting would come, maybe I wouldn't have come.
The more I thought about it, the more sour my heart became. I knew that my tears were shallow and I was afraid that my eyes would become red by accident, so I lowered my head and pretended to order seriously.
During this period, Luo Xiangdong looked at me and asked, "So you came out to see Du Ting at noon the day before yesterday, and you acted mysteriously."
I lowered my eyes slightly and stared at the order book in my hand without blinking. After hearing this, I replied aloud: "If I tell you, then what sense of mystery is there?"
Du Ting smiled and added: "Thank you Miss Liang. When Xiangdong came to the hotel, I didn't know anything at all, so I felt like a surprise."
I resisted the urge to sneer and replied, "As long as you are happy."
Du Ting said: "We are very happy."
I turned towards the door and shouted, "Waiter."
The waiter knocked on the door and came in to place an order. I ordered six dishes by myself, all of which were my favorites.
After looking at Luo Xiangdong and Du Ting, I asked aloud: "Do you want to order more?"
Luo Xiangdong asked Du Ting: "What else do you want to eat?"
Du Ting replied coquettishly: "I don't care, I can't eat too much anyway."
Luo Xiangdong ordered a few more light snacks and soups, and the waiter went out with the order book.
I stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
As soon as I stepped out of the private room, my eyes were red. I stretched out my hand to wipe away my tears. I wanted to cry, but at the same time I had to try my best to restrain the urge to cry. My chest felt like it was being pressed by a big stone, and my throat was sore and sore.
Even though I hid in the bathroom, I still didn't dare to cry. No one can understand this feeling. It felt like being slapped hard in the face. It didn't make you cry, but it still made you laugh.
I can't fucking laugh.
I stayed in the bathroom for more than ten minutes, and when I calmed down, I dared to go back to the private room.
There were several exquisite snacks placed on the table in the private room. Before I came back, neither Luo Xiangdong nor Du Ting moved.
Seeing me coming in, Luo Xiangdong said: "Come and eat quickly, it will get cold in a while."
I sat on the chair and comforted myself as if I was here to have a meal. I picked up the chopsticks and ate without raising my head or opening my eyes or squinting.
Halfway through, a pair of chopsticks placed a snack on the plate in front of me. Because I was distracted, I was slightly startled. Looking along the way, I found that it was Luo Xiangdong who gave it to me.
He picked one up for me and one for Du Ting.
Du Ting is very good at getting things done, or in other words, she is very sensible. It can be seen that Luo Xiangdong takes good care of me, so she is more enthusiastic to me than Luo Xiangdong is to me. She will bring me food and pour me drinks.
I said out loud: "Miss Du, stop being busy and eat by yourself. I can get there."
Du Ting smiled and said: "We have known each other for a long time, and you always call me Miss Du. You might as well call me by my name. I will also call you Zijin."
She said so, what else can I say? He could only smile back.
Luo Xiangdong seemed to be very pleased with our 'harmonious coexistence', so he said to Du Ting: "Whenever you are free, you can take Zijin shopping, or if you have something that cannot be bought in China, help her bring some from abroad." return."
Du Ting said: "Zijin is very polite to me. I wanted to give her some small gifts last time, but she refused to accept them."
Luo Xiangdong glanced at me and said, "Why are you so polite to her? Just take whatever she gives you."
I said, "I took it, Du Xiao. Du Ting also gave me a very expensive coat."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Your salary is not low now. Buy more decent clothes and don't always dress the same as when you were in school."
Luo Xiangdong means that when I’m not at work, I mostly wear jeans and canvas shoes.
He asked Du Ting to take me shopping. Was it because he thought I had no clothes to wear or because he thought I had poor taste
I feel the humiliation of being compared to others and being used as a negative example.
I remained silent and lowered my head to eat. Du Ting smiled and said: "Okay, I will help Zijin keep an eye on it in the future and prepare a copy for her if there are any good things."
The two of them sang along and didn't care about the mood of me as the person involved.
Because I was angry about eating, and I barely ate much in the past two days, I finally got a stomachache from eating.
When leaving the hotel, Du Ting got into her car and went back to the company. And I had to share a car with Luo Xiangdong.
After getting in the car, Luo Xiangdong glanced at me sideways and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
I pressed my stomach with my left hand, and whispered back: "Let's go to the pharmacy on the way. My stomach hurts a little."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Why do you suddenly have a stomachache?"
I said, "There are always times when I get crazy."
Luo Xiangdong said while driving: "Who has the right stomach."
I was unhappy, so I didn't argue with him.
