Chapter 17: Transformers and Obsession
Gu Xiaomeng poured out the hair ring and put it in the palm of her hand, and she could see that the hair ring was a little old, but it was very clean, and there was a faint fragrance wafting into her nose from above.
Intrigued, she gently twisted the hair band with her right index finger and thumb and put it in front of her eyes to take a closer look.
It doesn't seem to be anything special, this kind of monotonous black basics are all over the street.
She was staring at the hair ring, full of doubts.
Bang, the office door suddenly slammed, and Gu Xiaomeng was startled.
"It's a shame, it's not that guy Gu Zhanqiao is back. โ
Gu Xiaomeng was shocked, and hurriedly stuffed the hair ring into the pink kraft paper bag just now, carefully tied the rope, and then quickly sorted out the things scattered all over the ground.
The specific document bag that the pink bag was caught in just now and accidentally slipped off, she has no time to care about it now, if the old brother sees this situation, that cleanliness mania and obsessive-compulsive disorder will definitely not give her a good look.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, Gu Xiaomeng didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, stuffed everything indiscriminately, and opened a cabinet at his feet with lightning speed, threw everything into the cabinet in one go, and then kicked with his right foot and quickly closed the cabinet door.
The footsteps stopped, Gu Xiaomeng hurriedly put an innocent smile on her face, pretended to be casual, stood up as if nothing happened, and looked over the screen.
I saw that the figure stood at the screen for a short time, and seemed to hesitate for a while.
Gu Xiaomeng's whole heart hung in her throat, and she stretched out her right leg to confirm that the cabinet at her feet should be closed tightly, and things probably wouldn't fall out suddenly.
Before her right foot could stand firmly, a slender white leg suddenly stepped out from the corner of the screen, and the thin golden leather boots on her feet shimmered in the twilight light.
Before Gu Xiaomeng could react, Qian Wan's pretty figure had completely entered her eyes.
When they saw that the people in the office were actually each other, both sides were shocked.
Qian Wan obviously didn't expect Gu Xiaomeng, a little girl, to be here, her carefully designed smile arc was still hanging on her lips, and the eye wave flow technique that she had studied for a long time was only used for the first time, and for a while she didn't know how to manage her ingenious expression.
Gu Xiaomeng felt that the woman in front of her was charming, and she had an indescribable pretentiousness.
The confrontation lasted only half a minute.
Both of them spoke almost simultaneously, "Why are you here?"
Gu Xiaomeng was obviously very dissatisfied with Qian Wan's questioning tone, she crossed her small waist with both hands, and her mouth was full of arrogance, "Hey, I should ask you this sentence, right?"
Qian Wan looked at the girl in front of her with an aggressive look, she was angry, she was about to have a seizure, but when the words came to her mouth, she endured it again, this is not the first time she has swallowed her anger in front of this little girl.
Sometimes I think about it, it is ironic that she Qian Wan understands the meaning of the word "lying on salary and tasting guts" because she knows Gu Xiaomeng.
Qian Wan has always been a little princess in the eyes of others, she has a prominent family, superior grades, and delicate appearance, although her personality is a little willful and rude, but she is not a vulgar person.
She was born in a business family, has an excellent economic acumen, has never been a hot brain, and is extremely demanding about her life planning, performance improvement, love management, and management of body and face.
When she was very young, she went to various beauty salons with her mother and aunt, and participated in major shows from a very young age.
Even the expression management, gait and walking posture are also cultivated from childhood, and the delicacy and confidence in elegance make her the brightest brilliance wherever she goes.
The two princesses meet in a narrow way, and if they don't fight to the death, how boring it is.
However, after thinking about it, Qian Wan thought again, "Forget it, don't be as knowledgeable as this little girl in front of you." โ
Gu Xiaomeng saw that Qian Wan didn't speak, and showed a look of being too lazy to take care of her, so she was very angry, and said, "You come to my brother again, my brother is not here." โ
Qian Wan raised her eyebrows, disappreroving, "I know, I saw it." โ
"Then you won't leave. โ
"Don't go, I'll wait for him. Qian Wan said as she walked to the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and sat down elegantly.
Gu Xiaomeng pursed her lips and rolled her eyes, about to denounce loudly.
A deep bass voice came, "Xiaomeng, how do you speak?"
It was Gu Zhanqiao, and I don't know when Gu Zhanqiao had already walked in.
Gu Xiaomeng criticized herself when she saw Gu Zhanqiao coming up, and she was very angry, "It's supposed to be, you're not here, shouldn't I ask her if she can go?"
"I asked you Sister Qian to come, I haven't asked you yet, why are you not at home at this point, but sneaked into my office. โ
"I ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Gu Xiaomeng wanted to explain again, but was interrupted by Gu Zhanqiao, "Okay, you go out first." โ
Gu Xiaomeng was very angry when she saw that Gu Zhanqiao had given her an eviction order, she glanced at Qian Wan sitting on the sofa, and saw Qian Wan caressing the nail art of her left hand with her right hand, with a smug look.
"Brother~" Gu Xiaomeng said angrily and coquettishly.
"Okay, you go out first, my brother and Sister Qian Wan have something to discuss. โ
Gu Xiaomeng saw Gu Zhanqiao's solemn expression, so she had no choice but to pout, stomp her feet, snort, and walked out angrily, and the glass door behind her clanged.
"Xiaomeng really hasn't changed at all. Qian Wan stood up, then leaned on the floor-to-ceiling window reflected in the sunset, and gently pinned the long hair in her ear behind her ear, she knew that from Gu Zhanqiao's point of view, what caught his eye at this time must be his beautiful sunset silhouette.
It's a pity that Gu Zhanqiao didn't look at it at all, but just said casually, "Yes." He sat down at his desk, stared at the computer monitor, and said softly, "You wait a minute, I'll take care of one thing first." โ
Qian Wan was a little disappointed, but she didn't move, she just looked at him quietly, looking at him with a frown and a serious expression, she felt very pleasing to the eye.
It was a winter evening, and she knew that the branches outside the window were bare, the wind was cold, and the cold light was cold, and it was a bleak winter day.
However, now, in Gu Zhanqiao's office where the sun is setting and the sun is slanting, there are only the two of them, enjoying their time quietly and undisturbed.
She felt that the atmosphere at this moment was as beautiful as the afternoon when she first met him twenty years ago.
At that time, she was crying with tears because she couldn't find her most beloved Barbie doll, and a little boy walked up to her gently at some point, handed her a transformer, and said in a soft tone, "Play this for you." โ
She only remembered that she was crying hysterically and nervous, so she angrily tossed the Transformers in the boy's hand, "Who is rare of your broken toys." She was so strong that King Kong fell to the corner of the house and shattered to the ground.
A look of shock quickly spread in the boy's eyes, and he hurriedly ran over, knelt on the ground, and went to pick up the broken pieces that had fallen to the ground, he carefully picked up the broken parts one by one, put them into the small palm, and knelt on the spot, trying to piece together the broken parts, but it was too difficult.
The boy raised his head and resentfully kicked her who was still playing a little trick while sitting not far away, huge tears swirled in the boy's eyes, and his injured and stubborn grievances made little Qian Wan's heart flash strange emotions.
It seemed that at that moment, an emotion called guilt rose in her heart.
Then the little boy put the debris all over the floor into his pocket, and ran out of the house without looking back, holding the broken King Kong without looking back, he did not cry, but a tear was drawn on his cheek, and the boy's expression burned her, and she was stunned.
That was also the first time that Qian Wan felt guilty and blamed herself for her reckless behavior.
For many years, she wanted to say sorry to the boy she had never known in her life.
But later, she didn't meet him again for a long, long time, and she couldn't help but ask her mother, but her mother said that her uncle had taken the boy to live in another city.
It wasn't until ten years ago, on that hot and quiet junior high school self-study afternoon, that an unruly boy slammed a stack of books on his desk and walked out of the classroom with disdain on his face, that she recognized him in the astonishment of the class.
It was like a bolt of lightning and a bolt from the blue, when the whole class was shocked that the classmates they met for the first time were so handsome and unexpected.
She was so excited that she wanted to rush over immediately like an old friend reuniting, and asked, are you Gu Zhanqiao?
She recognized him, and even though his expression had changed from the kindness and grievance of a child to the arrogance of a teenager, she could still clearly recognize him from the corners of his stubborn mouth and beautiful eyebrows.
Later, under the introduction of the head teacher, Mr. Zhang, he waved his pen on the blackboard and wrote the three words Gu Zhanqiao as a self-introduction.
Qian Wan only remembered that afternoon in the third year of junior high school, she stared at the back of the boy sitting next to Yi Xinong in the third row for a long, long time.
She really wanted to go up to him and ask, "Do you remember me? โ
I also wanted to say to him, "I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to break your toy."
However, she endured it for an afternoon and did not dare to come forward.
In this way, endure and endure, another ten years.
That sorry couldn't be said for a long time, every time the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it, she couldn't speak, she was ashamed.
Although they later became classmates for a year, although later they went to study together in the UK, although now they are in the same room.
Sometimes, Qian Wan would wonder why she had been obsessed with Gu Zhanqiao.
Is it some kind of obsession caused by the delay in apologizing to him?
Is it love?
Was he the one who inspired the emotions in her heart that she had never had before? made her pay attention to the emotions of the people around her in an instant, and was no longer a self-centered little girl?
What it is, she doesn't understand.
Now, she doesn't want to understand anymore.
She loves him, as long as she loves his posture, she doesn't care what reason she loves him, and no matter whether she loves him properly or not, she will always love him, all the time.
Qian Wan stared quietly at the boy in front of her who was carefully flipping through the documents at the desk, hoping that time could slow down, slower a little, or simply stop, so that she could close her eyes, savor it, and then engrave this scene in her heart frame by frame.
