In the evening, the sky is getting overcast, which is a precursor to heavy rain. At the end of the day, the people in the office building did not care about the boss's thoughts, and quietly withdrew one by one. Cheng Pinghe usually left last, but he chatted with Xu Tao twice during the day, and he was more or less affected by it. In addition, things seemed to never be done, she was tired and tired, and suddenly she didn't want to work overtime, so she picked up her bag and stepped on the tail of the team.

At the gate of the factory, the raindrops fell, snapping, snapping and knocking on the hair and face, with an earthy smell. Cheng Pinghe put the bag on his head and ran to the station at a faster pace, but he didn't know if it was a change of shift, and the bus didn't come for a long time. met Xu Tao, although she left early, she was entangled by Yang Xingxin, but she left the factory later than Cheng Pinghe.

Cheng Pinghe sat in the passenger seat, watching Yang Xingxin ride a motorcycle past the car, waving goodbye to Xu Tao in the heavy rain, quite confused, "He is looking for trouble with you?"

"Invited me to dinner and said that there was a great place to have a barbecue and some wine. ”

The legendary leper □□ wants to eat swan meat, no, no, no, how can he say that, no matter how the pursuit is a way to express praise, but it can't be his turn, right? Cheng Pinghe's face was full of confusion, and his thoughts fluctuated in an instant, both surprised and surprised, "You...... Will you go?"

"No, it won't. The answer was crisp.

Cheng Pinghe lowered his eyes: Sure enough.

Red light, Xu Tao pulled out two tissues and handed them to her, "My hair is wet." Why don't you drive?"

"I haven't driven since I got my driver's license, I'm from my own family. Without waiting for encouragement, Cheng Pinghe was a little surprised, "I thought you would persuade me to drive more, just get used to it." ”

"A lot of people have advised you, right? If it works, it won't be my turn to persuade you. Besides, it's not a big deal if you don't drive, at most you can afford a driver. ”

Cheng Pinghe couldn't help but want to laugh, and the haze in his heart dissipated a lot, "I just wanted to say that it's a pity that I'm not a man, and I can't seem to fall in love with you." ”

Xu Tao nodded vigorously, "That's it." Fresh, young, not short of money, does not bring a burden, it is easy to stimulate hormones. But as a friend, I still advise you not to fall in love with outsiders, you don't know my details, and you don't know why I came. ”

Cheng Pinghe's mouth kept curved, "So, why are you here?" Xu Tao confirmed the address with her, and then replied, "I lived here many years ago, and I quit my job a while ago and had nothing to do, since I have an opportunity to come here, I will come." ”

"Really? When? Where did you live back then? Oh, you understand what we're saying?"

"I understand a little bit, really only a little bit. Xu Tao said clumsily in dialect, "The lion's head is delicious, and the roasted pork with dried plum vegetables is delicious." The strange pronunciation made Cheng Pinghe smile and couldn't close his mouth, "I'll burn it next time." I couldn't sleep this morning, so I went to the vegetable market to buy pork at five o'clock. A thought flashed through my mind, "I can...... Are you going to your house?"

"The house you rent now? of course. Xu Tao turned around at the next intersection, "Your family didn't buy the house over there?"

"No, the uncle said that it is a welfare for employees, and we don't want to fight with others. ”

"It sounds like the chairman is such a good guy. ”

"He's really good, he's been helping people, and he's been doing that for decades. Even if there is money in the factory now, he has not changed, he still wears old clothes, does not like to socialize, and does not buy a house or a car. But he was very generous to the old brothers who struggled with him. My dad was messing with him, he was doing ideological work for us, and life was much better than before, so why not look farther. Our company pays five insurances and one housing fund according to the base, and there are very few private enterprises like us. ”

Xu Tao asked curiously, "He's not very old, why isn't he in the company?"

"A few years ago, the vice president of the group, who was also a veteran of the company, did not count by himself, but also took away a large number of technical backbones. The chairman was angry and sick for a long time, and my brother came back to help until he officially took over last year. Cheng Pinghe shook his head, "Don't mention it, it's useless to talk about it, not only can't I help them, but I often do wrong things." She sighed, "If only I could be as capable as you." ”

Xu Tao smiled, "I want to be as good as you say." ”

Cheng Pinghe asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xu Tao smiled and said nothing, and only said after a while, "If I quit half of the company's old employees, do you still think I'm good?"

Cheng Pinghe hesitated, "You should have your reasons, I'll decide after listening?"

The two of them talked and laughed, and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the community. When passing by the gym, Xu Tao pointed out to Cheng Pinghe, "Zhao Cong is there to play free fighting on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and there are many people watching the fight, if you like to watch muscular men, it is worth coming over." ”

Zhao Congzhou's house, Cheng Pinghe still saw the decoration inside for the first time, and when she visited, Xu Tao had dinner. waited for the sample to come out, and Cheng Pinghe found that he had been shocked too many times that day.

"Dinner?"

Vacuum-packed duck collarbones, duck tongues, small dried fish, enoki mushrooms, as well as peanuts and ...... Wine. A wide variety of liquor, dark beer, pre-mixed wine, red wine, plum wine. The only drink is hot tea, "a mouthful of duck clavicle and a mouthful of Tieguanyin, spicy and hot, intertwined, especially exciting." ”

Cheng Pinghe sat down at the dining table, facing a row of colorful wines, and resolutely picked a bottle of pink, "Take back what you said in the car just now, indeed, I don't know you yet." ”

She also thought that people like her would never get tired of eating and being fine.

The rain became heavier and heavier, Cheng Pinghe was not good at drinking, and he shouted drunk after two bottles, and fell asleep on the sofa.

It was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and Cheng Qinghe came to the door.

There was no parking space in the community, so he parked his car on the road outside, and the way into it was choked by the downpour, and the rain dripped down his hair, eyelashes, and clothes.

Overboard phoenixes are not as good as chickens.

Xu Tao's first thought. She quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late and she was already laughing.

"What about people?" Cheng Qinghe didn't bother to pay attention to her, dragging mud and water inside, leaving two rows of wet footprints on the floor. He leaned over and called his cousin, "Wake up, go home." ”

Cheng Pinghe opened his eyes with difficulty, found that it was him, and closed them again, "Don't go home!"

Xu Tao struggled to hold back a laugh, "She said the same just now." Don't worry, I don't have that inclination, if you don't feel at ease, you can stay with her. She received a sharp look.

Cheng Qinghe tried to pick up his cousin, but Cheng Pinghe, who was half-asleep and half-awake, struggled very hard, and called Xu Tao again and again to save her, "I don't want to go home!

Xu Tao didn't dare to stand next to him anymore, in case Cheng Qinghe became angry and beat people angrily.

She went to wring a hot towel, and when she came out, Cheng Qinghe had already given up taking people away, sitting at the dining table and staring at the row of empty bottles.

Xu Tao hurriedly skimmed out, "Only two bottles of pre-mixed wine were drunk by her, and the others were drunk by me." "In case this little brother thinks that she has bad intentions and drunk Cheng Pinghe, you must know that this year, it is really ...... Her gaze fell on him, her shirt wet and clinging to her skin, unable to hide the red bars on her back and arms, broken in some places, and blood slowly seeping through the fabric.

She didn't dare look anymore because he turned around, and she was afraid that he would find out that she had found out.

"You're amazing, you've only been here for a few days, you know this and that, and everyone likes you?" his voice was as cold as ice, "Doctor, executive, I think you might as well laugh." He glanced at her T-shirt in disgust, it was still the same during the day, but after losing the cover of the overalls, it showed the true face of Lushan. Xu Tao's shoulders were completely exposed, snow-white and round.

Isn't it just drunk, it's worth making such a big fuss? Xu Tao stared at the footprints on the floor, man's, unscrupulous, unscrupulous.

"It's late, please go. She said lightly.

"Who do you think you are-" He raised his voice, but before he could finish, a towel came to him.

"Get out!" Xu Tao retreated to the bedroom door, "If you don't leave, I'll call someone." But she underestimated Cheng Qinghe's anger, he jumped up and rushed to the door almost in two arrow steps. Fortunately, before that, she had already run into the bedroom, but she didn't have time to lock the door.

Leaning his back against the door, propping his hands and feet open to prevent the door from being pushed open, Xu Tao didn't have the strength to call. For a moment, she hated the difference between male and female bodies, but it was only a moment, and she realized that she had to find a way.

Suddenly letting go of all resistance, she stood sideways against the wall, her face, chest, and legs slammed into the door, while a tall figure staggered in. Ignoring the sore spots, she ran out as fast as she could, quickly hid in another room, and locked it.

Falling down is like slow motion, one second Cheng Qinghe was wondering, he was crazy, talking to a girl like that, and the next second, he had fallen to the ground, in pain everywhere.

The mirror of the dresser clearly reflects his wolf bèi and unbearable.

He took a breath, took off his shoes, climbed up on the furniture, went to the bathroom to find a rag, and slowly wiped off the marks, water, and blood he had left behind.

When he retreated to the door, a pair of delicate feet appeared in front of him.

The owner of the foot crouched down and stuffed a pill into his mouth, "Swallow." ”

She carefully lifted his clothes, and he shivered in pain.

"Well deserved. He heard her whisper.

She didn't know how he managed to survive the day's work.

Gently taking off her shirt and sticking a warm towel to her skin, she unpacked it and poured some powder on the wound on his arm, "Try it first, and then wipe it if there is no allergic reaction." ”

He turned his head so as not to get too close to her.

There was a small red mole around her neck, and as she spoke, the red mole dangled in front of his eyes, annoying.
