Qin Yan listened to the phone, nodded, and finally remembered that Chu Jiaqi couldn't see it, so he said again, "Okay, eight o'clock Kashima coffee." ”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Yan held the phone and thought for a moment, I don't know if she has been too sensitive recently, and she always feels that Chu Jiaqi's voice is not quite right.

Without time to think too much, she picked up the shoulder bag she had just put down and went out again.

When she entered the store, she glanced at the hall from a distance and saw that Chu Jiaqi had already sat down at the window.

She nodded at the waiter who came over, said that she had made an appointment, and walked towards Chu Jiaqi.

Getting closer and closer, Qin Yan could feel that she was not the same as usual.

In the past, she was very enthusiastic, but now she is inexplicably a little detached.

"Jiaqi. Qin Yan walked over and sat down on the chair opposite her.

"It's coming. Chu Jiaqi looked at Qin Yan and smiled a little reluctantly.

Qin Yan nodded, and suddenly remembered that Chu Jiaqi suddenly disappeared during the day. At that time, she was so angry with Lou Shengkun. When I returned to the station, I didn't see Chu Jiaqi. When I went to the pantry, it was empty.

She asked Chu Jiaqi on her mobile phone where she went, but she didn't get a reply until she got off work, until Chu Jiaqi contacted her just now.

Thinking of this, Qin Yan asked, "When you went to work during the day, why did you suddenly disappear?"

Chu Jiaqi took a sip of coffee, and was not in a hurry, and slowly put down the cup.

"I'll talk about this later......" she put her arm on the table and looked at Qin Yan, "Now, I want to ask you something. ”

Seeing that her attitude was so serious, Qin Yan had a bad premonition in her heart.

You ask. But she remained calm.

Chu Jiaqi looked at her face without waves, and opened her lips and said, "What is the relationship between you and Brother Xiaolou?"

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect her to be so direct.

She leaned back, raised her eyes and looked at Chu Jiaqi, "Why do you ask that?"

"You don't care why, just answer what my relationship is. Chu Jiaqi clenched his fists, and his words were a little urgent.

The waiter brought a glass of water and interrupted the conversation between the two.

She asked Qin Yan what to drink, and Qin Yan replied that water was enough. Chu Jiaqi looked to the side, a little annoyed that the waiter came suddenly.

"Hurry up, don't bother us. She suddenly turned her head and looked at the waiter, her voice angry.

The waiter was still a young girl, and she was about to put the water cup in front of Qin Yan, but as soon as Chu Jiaqi said this, her face immediately became swollen red.

The atmosphere was a little stiff.

Qin Yan smiled at the girl, and said, "It's okay, you can go." ”

Chu Jiaqi hatefully stirred the coffee with a spoon. He pouted, a little angry at his own impulses, and lost his dignity.

Qin Yan took a sip of water, and then looked at Chu Jiaqi.

"I have nothing to do with Mr. Kun, except that he is the boss and I am a subordinate. In her mind, that's what happened at the moment.

She said suddenly, and Chu Jiaqi's hand stirring the coffee suddenly stopped.

She raised her head and glared at Qin Yan, "You lie!"

"I'm telling the truth. ”

"Then what did I see yesterday?" Chu Jiaqi's mouth was a little quick.

"Yesterday?" Qin Yan raised her eyebrows, her guess flashed in her mind, what happened between her and Lou Shengkun in the corridor yesterday could not have been seen by her?

Chu Jiaqi saw that she was very puzzled on her face, and didn't know that she had bumped into it, she cleared her throat and said, "I saw everything, you and Brother Xiaolou are ...... in the corridor."

Everything was closed, no wonder she suddenly left her post during the day, and suddenly called Qin Yan out to meet, her attitude became very different, and she directly asked her about her relationship with Lou Shengkun.

A moment of surprise flashed in Qin Yan's heart, but she quickly accepted it.

"Jiaqi, no matter what you saw yesterday, it's true that I have nothing to do with Mr. Kun now. Qin Yan looked at her and said from the bottom of his heart.

"Then why did he kiss you?" Chu Jiaqi didn't believe it, and was about to ask what was going on.

"I'm ......" Qin Yan paused, not knowing how to explain to her, "...... It's a misunderstanding. "It doesn't seem like a good idea.

Chu Jiaqi didn't believe in any misunderstanding, at that time, she obviously saw Lou Shengkun taking the initiative to come up, and his movements were so skillful that there was no difference between the intimacy between lovers.

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

Qin Yan also felt that her statement was a bit far-fetched, but she couldn't tell everything that happened between her and Lou Shengkun, she couldn't ......

"Is it so difficult to admit that you are dating him?" Chu Jiaqi looked at her face that changed and changed, and said those two words reluctantly, which was the goal she had been thinking about.

"No, I don't really have a relationship with him. "That kind of relationship is not a relationship at all.

Qin Yan looked at her, his eyebrows and eyes were entangled, "Between me and him, it's really difficult to talk ......"

"Anyway, you just need to know that I'm done with him. ”

"I don't think so. Chu Jiaqi's voice was cold, "As far as I know about him, he is very different from you, I have noticed from before that you are the second woman who can make him treat him like this." ”

"The second one?" Qin Yan raised his eyebrows, subconsciously curious.

"What?" Chu Jiaqi suddenly laughed, and there was an inexplicable pleasure in her heart, "I really want to know who the first woman is?"

Qin Yan looked at her with some strange eyes, and only then did she realize that she seemed to be a little excited, she picked up the water glass in embarrassment, tilted her head and took a sip.

Chu Jiaqi came out of her tonight, not to question her, but just to find out something.

But. Seeing her curiosity and eagerness when she heard that she was the second woman who was treated especially in Lou Shengkun's eyes, Chu Jiaqi still felt a kind of perverted pleasure in her heart.

"His business has nothing to do with me. Qin Yan was silent for a few seconds, as if he didn't care.

"If you just want to know the relationship between me and Lou Shengkun, I think I have made it very clear just now, if there is nothing else, I will not accompany you. As he spoke, Qin Yan was about to pick up the shoulder bag at hand and get up.

"Actually, I'm not an unreasonable person......" Chu Jiaqi twisted the rim of the cup and suddenly spoke.

Qin Yan stopped and sat back down.

"In the past, I really couldn't see the women around him, and I always tried to find a way to let those women go, thinking that so he would be able to see me who had been staying by his side...... Heh, it's kind of ridiculous to think about it now. Chu Jiaqi smiled bitterly and talked to herself.

Since Qin Yan sat down, he didn't say a word, only listened silently.

"Later, I was sent abroad by my family, and I thought I would go crazy if I didn't see him, but I didn't expect that I adapted quite well. She looked at Qin Yan and smiled, "It's funny, isn't it?"

Qin Yan shook his head, not feeling funny, but seeing the pain of a girl who couldn't fall in love.

"For so many years, in fact, I have also thought about whether I really like Lou Shengkun or the paranoia that I have always begged for......" She suddenly wiped her eyes and continued, "Later, I figured it out and told myself that I would give myself one last chance after returning to China." ”

"At first, I was quite happy to know that he had been single all these years. She suddenly laughed and looked at Qin Yan, "I didn't expect it......"

Qin Yan looked at her, understanding that it was not appropriate for him to say anything now.

"I told myself that crying for him yesterday was the last time, and from now on, I was going to live for myself. She smiled, just like when Qin Yan first met her.

"I look so beautiful, proper Bai Fumei, what kind of man do you want? She said not modestly at all, but the tone was not annoying.

is lively and vibrant, and she is still the same Chu Jiaqi as before.

"Don't think I'm not mad at you. She suddenly looked at Qin Yan and said dissatisfied.

"Me and him, it's really not what you think it is. Qin Yan was a little speechless and insisted.

"Whatever you are, you're hiding it from me, aren't you?" she raised an eyebrow, a little angry.

Qin Yan was even more speechless now, the relationship between her and Chu Jiaqi was not a friend who could say anything, and besides, she didn't even tell Zhang Xianli about the matter between her and Lou Shengkun.

But when she said this, Qin Yan felt that the two were good girlfriends who didn't talk about anything, and she hid it from her as if she had committed a heinous crime.

Qin Yan smiled helplessly, so he had to say, "I'm sorry." It's not right for me to hide from you. She followed Chu Jiaqi's words, I don't know why, she didn't hate her self-acquaintance.

Chu Jiaqi wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Since you apologized, then I will forgive you." ”

Qin Yan smiled again, thinking that she was a little cute.

Later, the two said something else, and Chu Jiaqi reminded her when they left.

"Someone in the company said that you and Brother Xiaolou were gossiping, and I don't know what the name is, so I'll tell you when I see it tomorrow." ”

After returning home, this sentence kept spinning around in Qin Yan's mind and never left for a long time.

Sure enough, what she feared most happened anyway.

It seems that she still can't leave easily.

This night, Qin Yan tossed and turned in bed and had insomnia again.

The next day, without waiting for Chu Jiaqi to tell her who it was, Qin Yan found out first.

Maybe it's because her mood has fluctuated a lot recently, Qin Yan didn't notice that today was the first day of her aunt's visit, and when she arrived at the company, she found that there was a faint feeling of falling in her lower abdomen.

She took a tissue and ran to the bathroom, and hurried into the cubicle, only to find that she hadn't come at all. She raised her hand and was about to unlock the clasp of the compartment door, but the next second it stopped.

"Eh Chenchen, do you think Chu Jiaqi will tell Qin Yan?"

"I can't tell......" Wang Chenchen straightened his hair in the mirror, turned sideways again, and looked at his back.

"It's miserable, if Qin Yan knew that we were talking about her in private, would she ......" The female colleague yesterday was a little anxious, standing in place and squeezing her hands vigorously.

"Look at your little bit of interest. Wang Chenchen took out the lipstick and smeared it on his mouth, "She told Qin Yan, will Qin Yan definitely believe it? ”

The female colleague smiled and echoed, "Yes, Qin Yan, she does take good care of you." ”

"What, I still have work to do, so I'll go back first. ”

Wang Chenchen nodded at her while wiping the excess lipstick.

She smiled in the mirror, happy with her makeup, but the next second she screamed.

"Mom!" Wang Chenchen watched as the door of the cubicle suddenly opened. Qin Yan walked out of it, and she clutched her chest in surprise and stepped back.

Qin Yan didn't say a word, calmly walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and washed his hands.

Wang Chenchen's heart was beating so fast that she looked at Qin Yan and swallowed her saliva.

"Sister Yan......"

Qin Yan shook his hand and raised his eyes to look at her, "What, I scared you?"

"That's not ......" Wang Chenchen shook his head, his voice a little timid, "You heard it all?"

Qin Yan didn't speak. Walk to the side and wipe the paper off.

Wang Chenchen followed her and walked a few steps closely, and said hurriedly, "Sister Yan, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think." ”

"What do I think?" Qin Yan turned around suddenly, and Wang Chenchen almost bumped into it.

"I ......" Wang Chenchen took a step back, and stopped talking.

"Wang Chenchen, you have to have the courage to admit what you have said and done. Although Chu Jiaqi didn't tell her what that gossip was, she could guess that it was definitely not a good thing.

"Sister Yan, I really don't have ......" Wang Chenchen made a face aggrieved, stretched out his hand to pull Qin Yan, and Qin Yan immediately dodged away.

She looked at Wang Chenchen and only felt that she had been deceived by her simple appearance before.

"I don't want to hear you talk this nonsense here, you can do it yourself. Qin Yan didn't want to waste any more time with her, so he warned her and walked out of the bathroom.

Wang Chenchen stood in place, his face turned red and red, and he felt very humiliated.

Qin Yan returned to his workstation with a fire in his hand, and the sound of pulling the chair was a little loud.

Chu Jiaqi had been sitting next to her for a while, drinking coffee, when she heard her voice and turned her head to look.

"Sister Yan. So angry?" she was doing as usual, as if it hadn't happened last night.

"I see. Qin Yan looked at her and whispered.

"What?" Chu Jiaqi bit the straw.

"Gossip people. ”

Chu Jiaqi's eyes widened, a little surprised, and Qin Yan briefly told her about the bathroom.

"Wow, this woman is too shameless. After Chu Jiaqi heard this, he directly said a dirty word, his voice was a little loud, Qin Yan looked around, fortunately no one paid attention.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I shouldn't have a chance to contact it in the future. ”

When Chu Jiaqi heard her say this, she remembered that she had already mentioned her resignation.

"When are you leaving?" she asked Qin Yan.

Qin Yan suddenly remembered that he hadn't said anything to Chu Jiaqi after the handover within a week, so he said, "It should be this week." ”

When Chu Jiaqi heard this, her eyes widened, "It's too fast, I'm not skilled in this business." ”

"Actually, it's almost, as long as you carefully read the precautions I sent you, many things can be solved. Qin Yan exposed her for not doing her homework in private.

Chu Jiaqi pursed her lips and said, "Okay." ”

The heads of the two people were together, and they didn't even notice that Lou Shengkun was standing at the door of the office for a long time.

"Secretary Qin!" he suddenly shouted.

Qin Yan was agitated and bounced up from his seat.

The action is somewhat exaggerated. Lou Shengkun endured the corners of his mouth that were about to rise, and said with a straight face, "Come in with a cup of coffee." ”

After he entered, Qin Yan relaxed, she looked to the side, Chu Jiaqi was covering her mouth and smiling.

Ten minutes later, the office door was pushed open.

Lou Shengkun was sitting on the sofa reading documents, and when he saw that it was her, he frowned, "Why are you?"

"What, it can't be me?" Chu Jiaqi put the coffee on the coffee table in front of him and raised his eyebrows.

"What about Qin Yan?" he closed the document in his hand and avoided talking about it.

"If there's anything you need to do with me. ”

"You can't do that. Lou Shengkun was impatient.

"If you can't do it, you have to do it, Sister Yan is about to leave, and I will have to face it sooner or later. Chu Jiaqi didn't know what he said, anyway, as long as she didn't let him be happy, she would be happy.

"You ......" Lou Shengkun turned sideways and looked at her strangely, always feeling that she was a little different.

Chu Jiaqi held his hands behind his back and blinked, "What am I?"

"Okay, you go and call Qin Yan in. Lou Shengkun didn't understand what she was doing, and waved her hand to let her out.

"Coincidentally, Sister Yan is not here at this time. ”

"Isn't it still there just now?" Lou Shengkun glared at her, not believing her nonsense.

"It was just now, and now it's now, I don't believe you went out and saw it yourself. Chu Jiaqi said, as if there was really such a thing.

After speaking, he didn't care about Lou Shengkun, and went out first.

Lou Shengkun sat on the sofa for a while, took out his mobile phone and was about to make a call, and when he opened the contact, he remembered that he had been blocked.

He flipped to the other person's number and dialed out.

"Go and see if Qin Yan is at the workstation. ”

After saying that, he didn't hang up the phone, and waited for a few more minutes, and there was a voice over there.

"Miss Qin is not here. ”

Lou Shengkun hung up, and the hand holding the phone tightened.

One by one, they all made him angry, and they didn't even take him as a boss in their eyes.

Qin Yan was sitting in a taxi at this moment, and suddenly sneezed several times in a row. She rubbed her nose, not knowing who was talking to her.

Ten minutes ago, Qin Yan received a call from Zhang Xianli.

"Qin Yan, my phone is almost out of battery, can you come to Shuitou Town to pick me up, I'm at the entrance of this town......" Before she finished speaking, the phone suddenly cut off.

Qin Yan called back again. The phone has prompted the other party to turn it off.

Afraid that something bad would happen to Zhang Xianli, Qin Yan hurriedly explained a few words to Chu Jiaqi and rushed out of the company.

Shuitou Town is a relatively remote town in the city, and the economy is not very good, Qin Yan asked the driver, why does it take three hours to drive there. Qin Yan didn't know why Zhang Xianli suddenly went there.

The taxi got on the highway and drove a long country road, and the country road was difficult to walk, and it took four hours to bump and bump.

As soon as the car drove into the entrance of Shuitou Town. Qin Yan saw Zhang Xianli squatting at the head of the bridge.

She quickly paid and told the driver to stop.

"Sister Xian!" she ran towards Zhang Xianli.

Zhang Xianli squatted, and seeing her was like seeing a life-saving benefactor.

"You're finally here. She stretched out her hand to Qin Yan, and Qin Yan went to help her.

"Ouch, my leg is numb. Zhang Xianli couldn't stand steadily, and leaned on Qin Yan's shoulder.

"Let's find a place to sit first. ”

Qin Yan looked around, there were very few people in the town, and few shops were open, and finally saw a noodle restaurant.

Staying at the noodle restaurant and sitting down, Zhang Xianli breathed a long sigh of relief.

In the noodle shop. The big black electric fan hanging diagonally on the wall was spinning around, and the sound was whirring.

Qin Yan asked the boss for a pot of cold boiling, poured it for Zhang Xianli, and poured another cup for himself.

Zhang Xianli hadn't eaten in the morning, and it was one o'clock in the afternoon, so she was really hungry, so she looked at the menu posted on the wall and greeted the house.

"Boss, a big bowl of braised beef noodles. ”

"What about you, what are you eating?" she asked Qin Yan again, Qin Yan looked at it, the weather was hot and he had no appetite. He followed behind and ordered a small portion of peacock noodles.

After ordering, Zhang Xianli took a sip of water while holding the cup.

"Sister Xian, why did you suddenly come to Shuitou Town?" Qin Yan saw that she finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked the question in her heart.

"I'm also home...... Zhang Xianli sighed, and continued, "When I was ten years old, I was playful and disobedient, and my father sent me here to study, lived in an old man's house, and stayed with them for half a year. ”

"Them?"

"yes, there's a boy in the house, who seems to be three years younger than me. She propped her chin and frowned as she recalled.

"Then you're here to visit them?"

"That's what I thought, and when I went to their village, the house collapsed. Later, when I inquired again, the old man died after I had been gone for half a year......" She said this, suddenly stopped, and muttered thoughtfully, "I don't know where the boy went......"

At this time, the boss suddenly came up.

Zhang Xianli took it in a hurry, and after letting it cool down a little, she took a bite, which showed that she was really hungry.

Qin Yan mixed the peaches well, raised his head and glanced at Zhang Xianli, and asked, "Don't the people in the village know either?"

"I asked, but I didn't know, so let me come to town and ask. Zhang Xianli took another bite of the face and asked without raising her head.

"And do you remember his name?"

"......" This is difficult for Zhang Xianli, she looked at Qin Yan and was speechless.

"It's been almost twenty years, and I don't remember anywhere. She shook her head and continued to eat her noodles.

Qin Yan thinks about it, if you ask her to think about a person who hasn't been in touch for twenty years, she may not be able to think of it.

After the two finished eating, Zhang Xianli habitually went to her bag to take out her mobile phone, and suddenly remembered the mobile phone.

"Qin Yan, you settle the account, I lost my phone. ”

Qin Yan nodded, scanned the boss's WeChat, paid and left.

She walked to the door, where Zhang Xianli stood and waited.

"Why did I lose my phone?"

Zhang Xianli sighed and said speechlessly, "That's why I just said that I was unlucky to get home." ”

She took a few steps down the road and pointed to the bridge.

"Right there, I was standing there talking to you on the phone, but suddenly I was snatched of my phone by a motorcycle. She hated it a little, "It's really a bad world, everyone has it." ”

Qin Yan nodded, he was indeed quite unlucky.

"Let's go, there shouldn't be a taxi in this place, I guess we'll have to take a bus back." She walked over and put her arm around Zhang Xianli's shoulder.

The two went back to the store and asked the boss again, and after learning the location of the station, they went to that place.

As a result, the staff inside said that the last train back to the city had already departed at one o'clock.

Qin Yan asked him if there was any other way, Zhang Xianli borrowed Qin Yan's mobile phone, turned her back and called the man. As a result, I pressed two numbers, and a string of strange calls popped up on the screen.

She didn't hesitate and answered.

"Qin Yan, it's cool to play missing, isn't it?"

"Do you know how worried I am?"

Zhang Xianli blinked, and the voice ...... Is it Lou Shengkun?

Gao Pan Qin Yanlou Sheng Kun
