67: Breath of a rainy day
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room, dark clouds rolled in, and it looked like it was going to rain.
The manager of the marketing department was talking endlessly, making an impassioned speech, but Cheng Manyue's thoughts drifted into the distance, she looked at Jian Chen sitting next to her and Ye Xinghe sitting opposite her, and there was always an unreal sense of dream.
One day in her sophomore year of high school, after she and Zhong Lili lined up to buy the new album of TOPBOYS, they couldn't help but take out the cover photos of Mizusawa again and again in class, and they couldn't put it down, full of.
Ye Xinghe sat next to him, holding his cheeks, looking at her with a displeased face, poking her head with a pen, Cheng Manyue waved his hand to ask him not to disturb her, Ye Xinghe was so angry that he didn't talk to her again until school.
It was also a cloudy day, no matter how Cheng Manyue coaxed him, Ye Xinghe just looked like he couldn't be coaxed, his face was so long, and he didn't wait for her to finish her duty, as soon as he got out of school, he threw up his schoolbag and left alone.
Cheng Manyue walked to the door of the teaching building, only to find that it was already raining, she didn't bring an umbrella, and hesitated to stand at the door and look at the sky.
In a blink of an eye, a familiar figure next to the pillar, with his back against the wall, was so cool and arrogant that he deliberately didn't look at Cheng Manyue, holding a black umbrella in his hand.
Cheng Manyue ran over with a smile and said, "Have you been waiting for me, or have you left and come back?"
"Long-winded, I knew you fool wouldn't carry an umbrella. β
"Okay, let's go home together!" Cheng Manyue pulled Ye Xinghe's sleeve and acted coquettishly like a little girl.
Ye Xinghe rarely saw her coquettish, the corners of her mouth unconsciously grinned to the root of her ears, and the displeasure on her face disappeared.
Night Xinghe held an umbrella, and the two walked together in the rain, he deliberately put the umbrella close to her, and most of his shoulder was wet.
"TOPBOYS' new song is very good, do you want to listen to it?" Cheng Manyue took out a headset and asked [Biqu Island] Night Star.
"Don't listen!" Ye Xinghe frowned, and he didn't have to say it angrily.
"Hee-hee, are you jealous?"
"Nope. β
Just because I read the lyrics of the album and ignore you, you're going to have an awkward afternoon. β
"I didn't. β
"Obviously, there is. β
The two of them pass by the bus stop sign, and on the billboard is a giant poster of Mizusawa.
Ye Xinghe covered Cheng Manyue's eyes with one hand and muttered, "Don't look at it!"
"Night Xinghe, are you naΓ―ve, are you eating a star's vinegar?"
"Anyway, it's not allowed to be seen!"
"Poof......
At that time, the Night Star River, how cute it was, and the Night Star River that was so cold in front of him now that it was impossible to get close to was not a person at all.
When they passed by the park that day, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and Cheng Manyue said, "Let's go to the pavilion to hide for a while, and then leave when the rain is lighter." β
"Good. β
The two trotted all the way in the rain, although the cool rain hit the calves, but the romance of the two running in the rain, the sweet smile on their faces, Cheng Manyue always felt that it was a picture of her youth.
Running to the pavilion, Ye Xinghe took off his school uniform jacket and helped Cheng Manyue wipe the rain on his body.
He looked at Cheng Manyue's eyes suddenly serious and sad, and whispered, "Cheng Manyue, will you like others?"
"Huh?"
"One day...... Will you like someone better than me and just leave me?"
Cheng Manyue looked at Ye Xinghe's aggrieved and worried expression very cute, she was uneasy and jealous when she saw him for the first time.
She smiled and patted his head and said, "What are you talking about, how can anyone be better than you." β
"What if you do?"
"Then I have to be more handsome than you!"
"What if Mizusawa confesses to you?"
"How is that possible?"
"What if?"
Cheng Manyue said mischievously: "That's really embarrassing!"
"You !!"
Ye Xinghe was angry, but Cheng Manyue couldn't help laughing.
The clear boy in the white shirt, in the heavy rain in the background, like all normal boys, was cramped and uneasy and afraid of losing in front of the girl he liked.
It was the first time that Cheng Manyue took the initiative to stand on tiptoe and kiss him, although it was only a cheek, but this action was enough to make her bow her head shyly.
"As long as you don't want me, I won't like anyone else. Cheng Manyue lowered her head and said shyly: "Now, can you rest assured?"
The feeling of being cared for and loved by others is so satisfying, as if the whole body is wrapped in warmth, and the heart is full, and even the cloudy and dim world seems to become gorgeous and colorful.
In the dense water vapor, in the rain-soaked gazebo, Ye Xinghe put the school uniform jacket on Cheng Manyue's head, pulled her over, and kissed her lips affectionately, it was a hot and humid kiss that was almost suffocating, and Ye Xinghe hugged her tightly, as if he was afraid that she would disappear.
Under the jacket of the school uniform, it was the most unforgettable moment for the two.
Since then, in the eight years that Cheng Manyue has been alone, every time she smells the aroma of grass and earth in the rain, she will think of the kiss between Ye Xinghe and her in the pavilion.
At that time, he was so afraid that she would like someone else, but the one who disappeared was indeed him.
Nowadays, she does like someone else, and not only that, but he sits with the person she likes now and talks about business.
The unpredictability of life is sometimes so helpless that you want to laugh at it.
At this moment, the introduction of the marketing manager was over.
The applause of her colleagues brought her thoughts back to reality, and Cheng Manyue also applauded.
Ye Xinghe said to Jian Chen: "I have a general understanding of your company. The Starlight Film and Television City under the Tomorrow Night Group has been completed, is Mr. Jian interested in going to the Film and Television City in Qingshi to have a look?"
"Of course, I can at any time. β
"The bidding for the film and television city is about to start on Thursday, and I will also go there to inspect, Xingchen Entertainment is interested in cooperating with Jian Ying, but the specific cooperation method still needs to be discussed, and I am waiting for Mr. Jian there. β
"You're welcome, we'll see you in Qingshi. β
Ning Cheng took out a business card and handed it to Cheng Manyue, saying, "When you arrive in Qingshi, please contact me for the hotel itinerary, and I will go to the airport to pick me up." β
Cheng Manyue came back to her senses, that is to say, she was going to go to Qingshi on a business trip with Jian Chen on Thursday, and not only that, but Yexinghe would also be there......
Ye Xinghe and Ning Cheng got up, everyone saw each other, and walked out of the conference room, Cheng Manyue saw that the female colleagues in the office were peeking at Ye Xinghe and secretly talking about him.
Cheng Manyue and Jian Chen and others were sent to the door of the company together, Ye Xinghe looked at the sky, then looked at Cheng Manyue, didn't say anything, still with a business smile on his face, shook hands with Jian Chen and said goodbye, got in the car and drove away.
Cheng Manyue breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, nothing happened, and Ye Xinghe did not reveal her identity.
On the elevator back, Mr. Su said to Jian Chen: "Do you need me to negotiate with you on Thursday, so that I can give you some assistance?"
"No, I am confident in this cooperation, and the company must have Mr. Su in charge. β
Mr. Su smiled and didn't say anything.
"Full moon, book a ticket. β
"Yes. β
Back at the company, as soon as Cheng Manyue sat down in his seat, he heard a female colleague talking excitedly: "The president of Xingchen Entertainment is also too handsome, he is simply the actor who came out of it, so young and promising, and from a wealthy family, how can there be such a perfect person." β
"Don't dream! People are still the young owners of the Tomorrow Night Group, they are not of the same class at all, so don't fantasize about the Mary Sue plot on yourself. β
"The assistant brother next to him is not bad!"
"Yes, yes, how can I get his WeChat!?"
Cheng Manyue looked at Ning Cheng's business card in her hand, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she pricked up her ears to listen to them talk about the night star river of talents, she was never able to associate herself with the perfect man in their mouths, even if she was now his sister, Cheng Manyue felt very disobedient.
Don't let your colleagues know that Night Star River is her stepbrother, otherwise, there will be no peace in her working life.
Cheng Manyue booked the air ticket, searched the Internet again for the introduction of Starlight Film and Television City, did his homework, and connected with Ning Cheng about the time of Thursday pick-up and the hotel, after Ning Cheng's original business conversation in WeChat was completed, he suddenly changed the conversation and said, "Miss, do you have time to go downstairs now?"
"Huh?
"Mr. Ye said it would rain today, you may not have an umbrella, let me send you an umbrella, I'll be there in half an hour, I'll be waiting for you at Starbucks downstairs. β
Cheng Manyue was stunned for a moment and replied, "Okay." β
