9. Open lovers
It's been a month since I came back, and Chang Xing's life is back on track. Hua Ruoquan never mentioned the words "together" again, which made Chang Xing almost wonder if it was an auditory hallucination caused by her usual fantasies too much.
But now every day after work, Hua Ruoquan will drive to her company to pick her up, and occasionally stay at her house for dinner.
This kind of mode of getting along should be Hua Ruoquan's so-called "together"? It seems to be a little more interactive than getting along in the past, but it seems to be missing something.
On the weekend, Chang Xing went to the market to buy a lot of vegetables and prepare to cook a hearty dinner in the evening. At the end of the year, it was the busiest time for Hua Ruoquan's department, and his work was always busy, at least every time she called him, he was working overtime in the company.
Worried that Hua Ruoquan would be tired of his body, Chang Xing is always trying to make all kinds of new dishes in his spare time, and balance them to ensure his nutrition. She did put a lot of effort into this, after all, she was facing a man who was an extremely picky eater.
Thinking of this, Chang Xing was a little helpless and a little funny, she still remembered that when she went to Hua Ruoquan's house to play when she was a child, it happened that they were having dinner, and at the dinner table, Hua's mother kept putting this and that in Hua Ruoquan's bowl, forcibly resisting his picky eating behavior, but Hua Ruoquan had a thunderous expression, and after picking up the white rice in the bowl, he left the table, and the bowl left the dishes that Hua's mother sandwiched completely, no more, no less.
When she was a child, she really couldn't understand why Hua Ruoquan, who had grown into a big man, was still such a picky eater. Every time I go to a restaurant outside with him to eat, as long as it doesn't suit his taste, he will frown, put down his chopsticks and never take a bite, which is the only childish thing about the calm and introverted Hua Ruoquan.
For Hua Ruoquan, Chang Xing signed up for a cooking class during the summer vacation of college, although she didn't know if Hua Ruoquan would have a chance to eat the dishes she cooked. No matter how hard it was during that time, it was all worth it, at least now she can make a good dish that even her mother praises, at least Hua Ruoquan, who is an extremely picky eater, would rather skip the dinner party in the company's high-end hotel and go to her house to eat those home-cooked side dishes.
Holding a large number of bags in his hand, Chang Xing walked slowly all the way, and when he passed by a French restaurant, Chang Xing accidentally glanced at it and saw Hua Ruoquan. Chang Xing's face was happy, and he habitually raised his hand, but thinking that Hua Ruoquan couldn't notice her at all in the restaurant now, he felt that his actions were very stupid, and quickly put down his hand. Through the clear and dust-free glass window, Chang Xing looked at Hua Ruoquan inside, he seemed to be with his colleagues in the department, and she recognized his colleagues, but the beautiful woman sitting next to Hua Ruoquan today was the first time she saw it.
Elegant manners, outstanding appearance, and beautiful women are full of a confident charm in their gestures. She smiled and communicated with the colleagues around her from time to time, but Chang Xing found that the person she was most interested in seemed to be Hua Ruoquan, most of the time in the direction of Hua Ruoquan, and when she spoke to Hua Ruoquan, there was always a seeming charm in her beautiful eyes. Obviously, this woman has a good impression of Hua Ruoquan, and she belongs to the kind of woman who admires a man.
The expression on Hua Ruoquan's face was calm, and there was no impatient emotional reaction, most of the time he was drinking tea by himself, but in the face of the questions of the beauties around him, he also responded politely.
Hua Ruoquan's attitude towards this woman seems to be different from that of ordinary women who want to pursue him......
It's not that she is too careful, it's just that Hua Ruoquan's past girlfriends are all this type of women, generous, confident, and capable career women, dressed fashionably, and people can't help but look back wherever they go.
Chang Xing slowly looked down at himself.
Simple sweater jacket, jeans, canvas shoes. The plain face revealed under the long hair can only be regarded as upright and delicate at best, without any characteristics, she is just an ordinary person who will never be noticed when walking on the road.
Compared with these glamorous beauties, she does seem to be a black and white existence, and the only thing that can compare with them may be her cooking skills and understanding of Hua Ruoquan, but Hua Ruoquan needs neither a chef nor a psychiatrist......
Chang Xing thought with some inferiority.
Maybe the "together" he said that day was really her auditory hallucination, even if it wasn't an auditory hallucination, it should just be that he wanted her to accompany him that day.
Just when Chang Xing was in a trance, one of Hua Ruoquan's colleagues found her quietly hiding in the corner of the glass window, so he gently patted Hua Ruoquan to remind him.
Hua Ruoquan turned his head to look out the window, his eyes were right with Chang Xing, who was stunned, Chang Xing was a little embarrassed, smiled at him and was about to leave, but saw Hua Ruoquan beckoning to her and motioning her to go in.
Chang Xing walked into this high-end French restaurant with some trepidation and walked to Hua Ruoquan's table. Thinking of the embarrassment that he had peeked outside just now, Chang Xing nodded awkwardly to Hua Ruoquan's colleague and whispered hello, "Hello everyone." ”
"Hi, Luck. ”
Everyone knows Chang Xing, because she is the only woman who can get close to Hua Ruoquan so far. Since Hua Ruoquan entered the company, every time Hua Ruoquan stayed to work overtime, the colleagues who stayed together could almost always see a woman carrying a thermos flask to bring him supper. For the first time, seeing a manager who is cold to a woman can get along with a woman gently, and it feels so natural and comfortable, everyone is so surprised that they almost have their eyes popping out.
I thought she was the manager's girlfriend, but after several observations, colleagues in the department ruled out the possibility of a girlfriend without the slightest suspicion. It seems that because she is too ordinary, she is not worthy of such an excellent Hua Ruoquan at all, and everyone takes it for granted that they are just childhood sweethearts. But no matter what the identity is, at least everyone can eat the food that Chang Xing cooked in the light of the manager, and since then overtime has not been a pure torture.
"Luck, sit here. The colleagues around Hua Ruoquan enthusiastically gave up their seats and let Chang Xing sit down.
Chang Xing hurriedly waved his hand and refused: "Ah, no need, no need, I'll just come in and say hello and leave immediately." ”
Hua Ruoquan stretched out his hand, took Chang Xing's hand and sat down, and said, "Sit down, I'll leave in a while." ”
"Why do you go so quickly. Fang Daolin, the deputy manager of the finance department, who is also a friend of Ruoquan, teased him: "It's too bad to give Xiao Xie face, she specially invited you this time, the protagonist is leaving, and our wallflowers will be disliked." ”
Listening to Fang Daolin's words, some bold colleagues also echoed, and some of those who were usually shocked by the majesty of the manager could only secretly laugh.
The woman next to Hua Ruoquan still had the same smile on her face, but her beautiful eyes were half-drooping, and she fell on Hua Ruoquan's hand that she didn't shy away from holding Chang Xing directly.
Hua Ruoquan smiled lightly and said in a flat tone: "Today's meal is to pick up the wind for the new audit director, and the protagonist is naturally Xie Ying." ”
Fang Daolin shook his head, winked at Hua Ruoquan, and said with a smile: "Ruoquan, you are too cold, Xiao Xie took the initiative to express his affection for you, she is so generous, why are you still so petty." ”
Chang Xing's heart jumped, and he secretly glanced at Hua Ruoquan, only to see Hua Ruoquan's expression calm and unfazed. Chang Xing swallowed his saliva and was about to retract his gaze, but he met Xie Ying's eyes, Chang Xing smiled at her politely, Xie Ying nodded, but Chang Xing saw the disdain in her eyes.
Chang Xing lowered her head in embarrassment, but she still couldn't ignore Xie Ying's gaze at her, and the feeling of almost seeing her through made Chang Xing a little restless.
Moving his buttocks, Chang Xing shrank back, trying to make Hua Ruoquan's tall figure block the woman's sight.
Looking at Chang Xing's cowering and unconfident appearance, a trace of contempt flashed in the woman's eyes, she hooked her lips and smiled slightly, looked at Hua Ruoquan and said, "Manager, you haven't helped us introduce it yet." ”
Hua Ruoquan looked at Xie Ying, then glanced sideways at Chang Xing, who was almost about to hang his head to his chest, and he nodded lightly.
"Luckily. ”
"Huh?" Chang Xing looked up at him a little nervously.
Hua Ruoquan smiled slightly, I don't know if it was an illusion, Chang Xing always felt that his smile had a slightly soothing meaning, which made her heart slowly calm down.
"This is Miss Xie Ying, the new head of audit in our department. Hua Ruoquan's introduction is very simple, and there is no ambiguity.
After introducing Xie Ying, Hua Ruoquan took Chang Xing's hand hanging on the side of the chair, glanced at the colleagues present, and finally looked at Xie Ying, and said naturally: "She is my girlfriend." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xie Ying's face changed, not only Hua Ruoquan's colleagues were shocked, but even Chang Xing looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.
He...... He even admitted that she was his girlfriend in front of so many people.
