Luo Xiangdong suddenly changed the subject. Under his seemingly calm face, there was actually a sharp aura hidden behind him.
My heart suddenly rose to my throat, and I couldn't help but straighten my back. I was silent for a few seconds, and then I replied: "I will not accept favors from strangers for no reason."
When Luo Xiangdong heard this, he leaned back. He leaned lazily on the back of his chair, looked at me and said, "What is a stranger?"
I was so nervous that I had no expression on my face, but my eyes were firm and I replied: "To be honest, Mr. Luo, as a freshly graduated college student without any workplace experience, I just want to work hard and make money through my own efforts. I am particularly afraid of encountering... To a male boss with evil intentions..."
When I said this, I looked at Luo Xiangdong's expression without any trace, but seeing that his expression was the same, I dared to continue.
"I didn't mean to avoid you before. It was really... I didn't want others to gossip behind my back and say I was too high-ranking. But Mr. Luo, you have helped me several times. I know better. This time you even helped my family." , I am grateful in my heart. If I treat you as a stranger again, it will be my own fault. "
After a pause, I added: "Last time you gave me your phone number, I regarded you as a friend. I will only seek help from friends, and will not seek help from strangers in a hurry."
Some words are hidden in my heart, which makes me feel very uncomfortable. I am really not a person who can hold things back.
After saying that, I felt happy, and the rest depends on how Luo Xiangdong responds.
Luo Xiangdong's expression remained normal. He played with the teacup on the table with his slender fingers and said seemingly unintentionally: "Anyway, no matter what trouble you have in the future and you can't handle it yourself, you just need to come to me. You don't have to ask others for help." ”
My heart skipped a beat, my eyes evaded, and I didn't dare to look at him.
He is always like this. Whenever I try to position him as a friend, he reminds me or hints at me, forcing me to think about him in a wrong way.
I lowered my head to drink tea and seemed to hum.
Luo Xiangdong glanced at me and asked aloud: "What are you thinking about?"
"Huh?" I raised my head with a guilty conscience and widened my eyes slightly.
Luo Xiangdong stared into my eyes. After a few seconds, he said aloud: "You think too much. I don't mean that to you."
Hearing this, I suddenly blushed and panicked so much that I almost spilled the tea in my hand.
My lips parted slightly, my mind went blank, I wanted to refute, but I couldn't speak.
I don’t know how much time passed until Luo Xiangdong took the lead to look away. Then I replied with a blushing face: "Mr. Luo, I didn’t think of anything else. I just..."
"I advise you not to think about anything else. As you said, our relationship is 'not quite strangers' at best. I am entrusted by others, so I am helping you. Don't think too much."
I was so embarrassed that I wanted to find a crack in the floor to crawl in. I clenched my hands into fists under the table. I tried hard to stabilize my mood and said calmly in a dress: "Mr. Luo, do you have a good relationship with the head of our department?"
Luo Xiangdong hummed lightly.
I was suddenly speechless again.
Fortunately, not long after, the waiter came to serve the food with a tray. I seriously pretended to be very interested in the food, so I lowered my head and ate without looking at Luo Xiangdong's face.
In the middle of the meal, my cell phone rang. I took it out and saw that it was Kuang Yiyang.
Putting down my chopsticks, I turned to Luo Xiangdong and said, "Sorry, Mr. Luo, I'm going out to take a call."
Luo Xiangdong didn't even look at me and said, "Just pick it up here."
A look of hesitation quickly flashed in my eyes, but when I thought about it again, there was nothing in the conversation between Kuang Yiyang and me that others could not listen to.
After I answered the phone, I said hello.
Kuang Yiyang's voice came from the mobile phone: "Senior sister, did you call me today?"
I hummed and replied: "I wanted to ask you for help with something before, but your phone happened to be turned off."
Kuang Yiyang replied angrily: "I have an exam this morning, so my phone is turned off. Senior sister, what can I do for you?"
"It's okay now, it's been solved."
Kuang Yiyang sighed and said regretfully on the other end: "What a coincidence. You finally called me once, but I didn't even receive it."
I couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "How did you do in the exam?"
"It's not bad. By the way, senior sister, has your matter really been resolved? If there is anything I can do to help you, you must tell me. Don't be afraid of being embarrassed."
I smiled and replied: "Well, it's really solved. You don't have to worry about me."
Every time Kuang Yiyang called me, he always looked like he wanted to hold me down and chat with me. I felt warm in my heart as I listened to his endless words, but when I glanced out of the corner of my eye, I saw Luo Xiangdong sitting next to me. .
If Luo Xiangdong was not here, I could really spare an hour to chat with Kuang Yiyang, but in this situation, I'm afraid that's not possible.
I finally found a gap at Kuang Yiyang's breakpoint and hurriedly said: "Yi Yang, I have something to do here right now. Can I call you later?"
Kuang Yiyang immediately replied: "Okay, okay, senior sister, please do your work first, I'm hanging up."
He said he wouldn't delay me. So every time I had the intention to hang up the phone, he immediately stopped and hung up faster than me.
In fact, it really makes me feel bad for him to do this. I also know that he is good to me, but I... I really don't have the ability to fall in love with someone again now.
I put my phone back into my bag, picked up my chopsticks, and lowered my head to eat.
Luo Xiangdong on the right suddenly asked: "Boyfriend?"
I paused and couldn't help but heard the sound and went away, only to see Luo Xiangdong lowering his head and peeling off fish bones with chopsticks.
I replied loudly: "No, it's my junior brother."
He said: "Is it the one from the Sichuan restaurant last time?"
I didn't expect that he would still remember Kuang Yiyang, so I nodded in response: "Yes."
Luo Xiangdong said: "He's quite handsome."
What he said surprised me again.
I raised the corners of my lips and responded, "Yes."
Luo Xiangdong seemed to be more interested in what happened between me and Kuang Yiyang. He fiddled with the fish bone and asked, "I was in the parking lot before and I heard you call and say that it would be good for you to have a spare tire. Could it be him?" Bar?"
Hearing this, I almost choked and hurriedly put down my chopsticks and picked up a tissue to cover my mouth.
Luo Xiangdong raised his eyes and glanced at me, and said expressionlessly: "With such a big reaction, I feel guilty as a thief."
I coughed a few times and my face turned red.
Looking at Luo Xiangdong, I replied: "It's not what you think, I just said it casually."
"All casual remarks are actually subconscious thoughts. I don't believe that when a person opens his mouth, he will say something that he has never thought of in his heart."
I felt that what he said was very reasonable, but also felt that it was unreasonable, so I instinctively defended myself and said: "The last time you heard me say it in the underground parking lot, it was to deal with what my mother said. I was afraid of her. She couldn't stand my breakup, so I just said it casually to make her feel at ease."
Luo Xiangdong looked calm and asked aloud: "Then what is your relationship with your junior brother now?"
I raised my eyes slightly and replied matter-of-factly: "It's the relationship between senior sister and junior brother."
When Luo Xiangdong heard this, he suddenly raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
My scalp was numb, and I always felt that there was too much meaning in his smile.
After finishing the meal, Luo Xiangdong called the clerk to pay the bill.
The price of this meal was more than half a month's salary. Fortunately, I didn't brag about it at the beginning. In fact, the money in my bag and card is not enough to pay for this meal.
After leaving Huayue Building, I said to Luo Xiangdong: "Mr. Luo, thank you for your help. You also invited me to dinner. I will treat you when my salary is paid next month."
Luo Xiangdong looked calm, hummed, and then said: "Where are you going, I will take you there."
I subconsciously replied: "No, I'll just take a taxi back to the hospital."
Luo Xiangdong said: "Let's go, I'm on my way."
He has said so, and I can no longer refuse. After getting into Luo Xiangdong's car, he turned the steering wheel and drove towards the private hospital.
We were silent all the way, while he drove and I looked sideways at the window.
When the car stopped at the entrance of the hospital, I nodded and thanked Luo Xiangdong, then eagerly opened the car door and rushed out.
I was only halfway up when I felt a strong force pulling me down. I was almost strangled to death by the silver bag chain that was straddling my body. When I turned around, I saw that the bag had fallen in the middle of the car seat and got stuck. .
From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Luo Xiangdong looking at me with a look that was blurred with disgust and surprise. My face suddenly felt hot, so I had no choice but to sit back in the passenger seat and reach for the small bag.
I was really afraid of what would happen. The more I wanted to escape from the car, but the bag was stuck and I couldn't get it out.
After trying several times, I finally didn't dare to pull it with too much force. My bag only cost more than a hundred dollars, and Luo Xiangdong's car cost millions. If I accidentally scratched a piece of the leather of the car seat, I would probably be compensated. .
Luo Xiangdong finally couldn't stand it anymore. He leaned over and helped me get my bag. I wanted to get away, but because the length of the bag chain was limited, the distance I could get away from was not very large.
We were so close that when I lowered my eyes, I could see his slender eyelashes.
Gudong swallowed, and I quickly looked away, trying not to think too much.
The position where my bag got stuck was also weird, even Luo Xiangdong took less than half a minute to fix it. After finally pulling the bag out of the crack, Luo Xiangdong looked impatient and frowned: "Be careful in the future."
I thought to myself, there is no future. Is there always a chance I can ride in his car
With an apologetic smile on my face, I kept saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, thank you, I'll leave first."
I took the small bag, opened the car door, and walked quickly into the hospital without even daring to look back.
All the way to the VIP ward of the inpatient department at the back, I opened the door and entered. The fifty-square-meter room has a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, and even a small kitchen. It has the same configuration as at home, and the environment is very good. You can smell the fresh fragrance of flowers when you open the door.
At this time, my dad was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. When he saw me coming in, he looked up and said, "Back?"
