After work in the evening, Yuan Lu was the last to leave the company, Cheng Jiangli originally wanted to ask her to have dinner with her, but Yuan Lu refused him on the pretext of his body and asked him to go back and have a good rest.

When the car was about to arrive at Ninglan's apartment, she suddenly didn't want to go back, so she turned the car around, went to the old bungalow to see Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, bought some fruits on the way, and when the second old man was about to eat, she simply rubbed a meal.

After eating, I sat for a while, but I didn't stay long, and I had to go to bed early when I was older.

Leaving the old house, Yuan Lu thought of long live and called him on his mobile phone, but it turned out to be an empty number, and he didn't tell her when he changed the number. She sent a WeChat message and didn't reply for a long time.

Just like the one she sent to Sheng Xiao, there was no response.

There was not even a perfunctory response.

She put down her phone and sat in the car for a while, she didn't want to go home, she didn't want to go to the bar to drink, in a huge city, she didn't even want to find someone to accompany her, she couldn't go to Kevin.

I didn't say anything to her, saying it was no different from Sheng Xiao.

The car drove aimlessly, and finally drove downstairs to Xiao Tan's house. After looking at the time, it was not too late, so I went up and bothered for a while.

When I arrived, Xiao Tan was drawing, and a comic strip was serialized recently.

Girl's comics are related to love and love.

Yuan Lu took a look at the manuscript, it was the routine of Mr. Ba falling in love with me, but the story was quite fascinating.

Xiao Tan saw that she was watching with relish, and said with a smile: "My sister loves this too." ”

"It's kind of interesting. ”

"Then do you like the male protagonist or the second male lead?"

Yuan Lu hasn't seen the second male actor appear yet, so he can't answer this question.

She didn't ask seriously, "Sister, how many times have you been in love?"

"Twice. Yuan Lu was silent for a while, answered this question, and suddenly found that there was actually no burden on Xiao Tan, she didn't know anything about her, and she didn't know the people around her, so there was no problem in chatting casually.

Xiao Tan's jaw dropped in shock, "Only twice?" I thought it would be at least ten times. ”

"Why? I look like a person with flowery intestines?" Yuan Lu was not annoyed, but found it interesting.

"Not really, it's just two times too little. That is, every time is a long time. ”

She shook her head, "It wasn't long. What about you? You talked about it a few times. ”

"Then I'm more than you, I've talked three times, and now I have a crush who is chasing after him, and I feel like I'm about to catch up. ”

She looked confident, "You can't escape from the palm of my hand." ”

Yuan Lu looked at her claws and laughed, "You're going to eat people." ”

"It's almost, I like it so much, I've been chasing it for half a year. ”

"What is it like? Mind if I take a look?"

She put down the paintbrush, took the mobile phone and handed her the photos and videos to see, she should have met on the Internet, she took a short video in a certain sound, in reality she was a bank clerk, wearing a work uniform, very gentle, with beautiful eyebrows, and she looked strangely good-looking.

Yuan Lu asked curiously, "How did you know each other?"

Xiao Tan focused on coloring the characters, saying: "When Douyin reached the third time, I chatted with him privately, and after a week of private chat, I added WeChat to each other. The first time I watched his video, I thought he was very handsome, and he grew up in my aesthetic points, and I liked it very much, but I didn't pay attention to it until the third time, and I thought it was fate. It's all delivered to me, and I don't have a reason not to catch it. ”

"Have you met?"

"Not yet, but he said he would come to me for the New Year and invite me to dinner. ”

"Just find your home?"

Xiao Tan: "Of course not, let my brother take me out." ”

"Do you feel nervous?"

She shook her head, "Don't be nervous, I'm used to video with him all the time." He was actually quite cold, he didn't pay much attention to me at first, but I insisted on chatting with him every day, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, and gradually, he gave a response, and the words became more. Later, I was too busy to talk to him, but he was in a hurry. He also helped a lot with the previous incident, and then he said he wanted to come and see me. ”

She narrated very calmly, and there was unconcealed sweetness in her tone.

Yuan Lu: "Then what are your plans? You are not in the same city, will it be a little difficult to communicate? Have you thought about it in the future?"

She shook her head, "I've never thought about the future, I think the most important thing is to be happy now, and the present is more important than the future." It may be that I had a car accident when I was a child, but over the years, I just cherish it, my life is my parents who protect me, I should live a happy life, it is very important to live every day, I should do what I think, and I will talk about it later. ”

"In the past, when everyone saw me, they always shook their heads and sighed, saying that my future road would be difficult. But how do they know that I have survived life and death, and there will be no more difficult times in the future. Could it be that a lost leg can be worse than a dead one?"

Yuan Lu couldn't help but touch her head and said, "Whoever can marry you home is his blessing." ”

"That's nature. ”

......

Sheng Xiao worked overtime tonight and held meetings all the time, and it didn't end until ninety o'clock.

Pei Ying saw that he had been frowning today, obviously in a bad mood, and when the others left, she said as a good friend: "I haven't eaten yet, should I order takeout to eat in the company, or find a restaurant to solve it?"

Sheng Xiao didn't even have the interest to speak, so he hummed perfunctorily, and he didn't know which one to choose.

However, seeing that his butt was glued to the chair and he had no intention of getting up, Pei Ying called to order food, and went out by the way to ask others to get off work.

Pei Ying went to the pantry to take a look and made him a new cup of calming tea, "What's the trouble?

"No, private question. Go back, it's not convenient for me to send you now. ”

Pei Ying sat down, supported her chin with one hand, and looked at him carefully, she had known him for so many years, and it seemed that she rarely saw why he was so worried about things, this person has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and his mind is too deep to be elusive.

If it was something at work, he would definitely mention it to her, but now he refuses to mention it, probably because of emotional problems.

Pei Ying knew what the meaning of her coming here was, Liang Yunyue said a few words to her when she left, and directly pierced the window paper, which made her unable to be particularly natural when she was facing Sheng Xiao now.

I used to hide that heart deeply, thinking that no one could see it, but I didn't expect it to be easily seen through at a glance.

Sheng Xiao's attitude towards her has not changed, which makes her breathe a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that he would not like it, so she became estranged from her, and she couldn't even be a good friend.

"By the way, are you going to the charity banquet held by Renxin at the end of the month? Yesterday my grandfather mentioned it to me and wanted me to accompany him. ”

It's okay not to mention this, but when it comes to this charity banquet, Sheng Xiao's brows are furrowed even tighter.

There was an indescribable sadness in his eyes, his thin lips were pursed, and he spit out two words coldly and indifferently for a while, "Don't go." ”

Some people are taboo to appear in the same frame with him, what does he do, to respond to others, or to respond to himself.

Pei Ying smiled, "If you don't go, you won't go, why are you so fierce." Is it me who has an enmity with you or is the charity banquet against you?"

"By the way, yesterday grandpa talked about you and asked me when you were free to let you go to the house for dinner. ”

Sheng Xiao said perfunctorily: "Go if you have time." ”

It is indeed necessary to visit, after all, the relationship between the two families is good, and they have often interacted with each other before, Grandpa Pei is good to him, and he has given a lot of help, and he is half a teacher. After coming to Haishi, he has not officially visited.

"Just a few days, I'll ask the assistant to arrange a time. ”

"Okay, then I'll go back and talk to grandpa. ”

Pei Ying waited for the takeaway to arrive, and put it down for him before leaving.

Sheng Xiao didn't have much appetite, didn't eat the lunch box, took his coat, and was about to go for a drink.

This person is probably just a stone, kicking and moving, kicking and moving, kicking not in place, and not moving will hurt himself.

It's really nothing to do for yourself.

......

It was already past nine o'clock when Yuan Lu came out of Xiao Tan's side, and it was almost ten o'clock when she drove back home, she washed and messed around, and until half past ten, she sat in the living room and watched TV for a while.

Occasionally looking up at the ceiling, the thick walls, you can see something.

The phone is quiet.

At eleven o'clock, she got up and went back to her room to sleep.

I don't know how long it took, but when she was about to be confused, her phone vibrated and woke her up.

She took out her mobile phone and glanced at it, it was Sheng Xiao's call.

After hesitating for two seconds, she picked it up, swallowed her saliva, and fed it.

"Come down. For a moment, his voice came from the other end of the phone in a low voice.

"Where?"

"Underground garage. ”

Yuan Lu wanted to ask more, but after thinking about it, he didn't want to ask, just follow what he said, and he couldn't eat her after all.

"Got it. ”

She didn't dare to hang up the phone, so she hurried up, put on her thick coat, and went downstairs.

The car was parked in the parking space, Sheng Xiao was sitting in the back seat, the window was open a little gap, she knocked on the window and shouted.

When she opened the car door, she smelled alcohol.

"You're going to socialize today?"

He didn't answer, his eyes, which were originally closed, opened slightly at this time, and his gaze fell on her. He drank a lot, but he didn't let himself get drunk, his mind was still sober, but there was alcohol in his body, so he was not calm than usual.

Yuan Lu was a little frightened by him, coughed, and said, "Get out of the car?"

He reached out and motioned for her to hold on.

Yuan Lu immediately raised his hand, but before he could hold his arm, he was caught by his big grasp. Then, I settled down and got out of the car easily.

Yuan Lu helped him into the elevator, his steps were steady, and he didn't have to be helped to go upstairs.

She pressed down the floor, and the elevator worked.

The elevator was extremely quiet, and Yuan Lu seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat, which was a little unstable.

"With whom?"

Yuan Lu felt that this question might explode if he answered truthfully, Sheng Xiao's unhappiness was obvious, and he almost didn't hide it.

She swallowed her saliva, rolled her eyes, staring at the number of the elevator, she always had to answer, could she still eat her?

"Cheng Jiangli. He happened to be going too, so he took a companion. ”

Sheng Xiao's body leaned against the elevator wall, these three words were harsh, and the alcohol catalyzed his emotions, multiplied and multiplied.

"I don't know what he thinks of you?"

Yuan Lu didn't dare to look at him, and there was a slight irony in these words.

"Yes, but I made it clear to him. ”

But he didn't give up. ”

"That's his business, no matter what, I can't control other people's brains. I just need to be clear about where I stand. ”

"What is your position? You know that he is interested in you, and you still attend the charity banquet with him, you are giving him hope, which is equivalent to hooking him with a hook. ”

Yuan Lu pursed his lips and didn't speak, besides, he was afraid that he was going to quarrel, and he would also get angry.

However, when she spoke, he was unhappy, she was muffled, and he was still unhappy.

There was a tendon on his forehead that kept jumping, and he suppressed his irritability and suppressed the more piercing words.

When he reached the 32nd floor, Yuan Lu went out first, opened the door for him, and stood by the door without entering.

Sheng Xiao walked out of the elevator, saw her looking away, didn't look at him, and almost didn't think about it in the next second, he directly picked up the person, stepped into the door, and hugged her to the cabinet next to her.

Yuan Lu was frightened, his hands instinctively grabbed his shoulders, and before she could say a word, Sheng Xiao had already raised his head and kissed her lips.

A hand ran across her back and pressed up the back of her head to keep her out of the way.

At that moment, Yuan Lu's mind was blank, and his strong invasion took away her brain as well.

She can deal with any man's strength, but she doesn't know how to deal with him.

Between his lips and teeth, there was a strong smell of alcohol, as well as his explosive hormones.

She froze and didn't dare to move, like a piece of wood, her eyes wide open. The scorching breath made her feel like she couldn't breathe.

It wasn't until he bit her lips hard that she snapped up and pushed him away. Sheng Xiao did as she wished, and took two steps back.

He gasped lightly, his eyes were bound to her, "You can take your time if you don't get used to it, you don't want people to know, I can also accompany you to sneak around." But I will not allow you to reject me in this way. ”

Yuan Lu couldn't listen to him at all, all she could hear was the long beep after the TV was over.

She pursed her lips, and after a moment of stunnedness, she quickly jumped down from the cabinet, and then grabbed the door, and the elevator couldn't wait, and ran directly towards the stairwell.

There was a bang, and it took a few seconds before silence returned.

Sheng Xiao touched his lips, it was still quite cool.

Yuan Lu returned to his house, closed the door heavily, and then pressed his back against the door.

There was still the smell of wine between her lips and teeth, so strong, there seemed to be his breath between her noses, and her heart seemed to be tightly entangled by something, and she was going crazy!

She stood for a long time, but she couldn't calm down, went to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water, and drank two large glasses of ice water.

Finally, I opened the window and let the cold wind blow for a while, before it completely calmed down.

But the taste on my lips can't be erased.

All night, she sat and stood, anxious.

It was dawn, and the time was approaching work, and she didn't dare to go out. It was only at noon that she went out.

After arriving at the company, my heart was also up and down, and I couldn't sit still, I couldn't sit still.

Cheng Jiangli came in to offer condolences, knocked on the door for a long time, and no one inside answered, so he pushed the door in directly. Yuan Lu was staring at the cactus on the table in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking, and his cheeks were a little red.

How can there be a feeling of longing for spring.

Cheng Jiangli knocked on the table, she suddenly came back to her senses, and the moment she raised her eyes, the water waves flowed, as if she was startled by a pool of spring water, and there were ripples.

She coughed, put on a straight face, and asked seriously, "What's the matter?"

"Yesterday's order, I communicated with the customer, and the price was still according to the original. ”

"Oh. She didn't remember what happened yesterday for a while, and only thought of Sheng Xiao's harsh rebuke for her to go to the charity banquet with Cheng Jiangli, so she couldn't help blurting out, "Charity banquet, I'll go by myself." ”

"What?"

Cheng Jiangli didn't understand.

Yuan Lu said: "I thought about it or I went by myself, you are representing your mother, and I am representing the company." ”

"I can also represent our company, I may have to walk the red carpet at that time, can you yourself?"

"Well, I can choose not to go. I'm a little-known person, I don't have to leave. I asked. ”

"Why?"

"No reason. Yuan Lu didn't look at him, turned the chair, took a document and opened it to read.

Cheng Jiangli felt that she must have happened, with a calm face, he snatched the documents in her hand, Yuan Lu locked his eyebrows, and was about to blame, he said in a deep voice: "Take it back." ”

She was stunned, forced to calm down, looked at him, and said, "Yes." ”

He snatched the document back again, straightened it and continued to read, "It's okay to get out." ”

It doesn't matter, sit at a table anyway.

Cheng Jiangli suppressed his unhappiness and said aggrievedly: "Okay, then I'll see you at the venue." ”

"Hmm. ”

In the next few days, Yuan Lu deliberately avoided Sheng Xiao and went out late and returned late.

On the day of the charity banquet, Yuan Lu finished his work in the company in the morning, and went to the beauty salon early to do his face and hair. To attend this kind of occasion, it is better to be a little more solemn.

This beauty salon was recommended by Zhuo Yanxin, and it is said that the lady and his wife will come here to do their heads and faces, and sure enough, the store is very busy today.

Those few signature hair stylists have customers.

Zhuo Yanxin originally made an appointment with a hairstylist for her, but because of her poor status, she was directly squeezed out and handed over to the apprentice under the hairstylist.

Not long after he left the school, no one wanted to look for him, for fear of damaging his hair.

Yuan Lu didn't pay so much attention to it, so he agreed.

She went to do her face first, and then she came to do her hair.

They are all independent rooms and do not disturb each other.

When Yuan Lu went out after doing her face and body, the staff took her to the barber room, and when she went downstairs, she met Jing Fei. She didn't plan to say hello, so she pretended not to know, Jing Fei only glanced at her, and then passed by her.

Jing Fei walked halfway to the road, but she couldn't help but look back, she was surprised why this woman was getting better and better.

That face, white and tender, seemed to be able to pinch out water, she swayed her body, and entered the barber room under the guidance of the staff.

Jing Fei asked the person beside her, "She's also going to a charity banquet?"

"Most of the guests today are here for the charity banquet, and I don't know this person. But it seems that it is a friend of Miss Zhuo Yanxin, who helped make an appointment here. "On Jing Fei's side is the manager here.

At this time, a voice came from the walkie-talkie, and someone reminded Miss Pei that she was coming.

The manager explained that the person next to him took care of Jing Fei, so he found an excuse to go to the door to greet people immediately.

Jing Fei wanted to ask a few more questions, but watched her hurry away, and asked another deputy manager, "Which Miss Pei?"
