Chapter 31: Strange Thoughts
Chen Peng looked at Xu Xiaoman with a smile: "That's ...... Miss Xu, you?"
Then he patted himself on the head: "Why don't you just do this, Miss Xu, if you don't dislike it, I'll just stop by and buy some food, and you can also go to my house for a light meal?"
Xu Xiaoman's expression turned soothing, and he smiled: "That's not good, I don't know how to cook." ”
Chen Peng said seriously: "I will do it, Miss Xu, I will do whatever you want to eat." ”
Chen Peng suddenly remembered the first time he saw Xu Xiaoman gluttonous crabs in the restaurant the night before, and the next morning when he finished a big bowl of oily fish meatballs, and suddenly became a little excited.
God really sent such an opportunity to him?
He cooked a good meal himself to see how good this girl could eat?
Xu Xiaoman suddenly became interested: "Really, fake, I see that you are messy, do you know how to cook, do you wash clean dishes?"
Chen Peng seemed to be in good spirits, and actually swept away the sad face just now, and said to Xu Xiaoman very happily: "Let's go, empty words are unfounded, seeing is believing, let's hurry up and buy vegetables." ”
The old man on duty saw Chen Peng, who had just entered the company without focus, and walked out with great interest with the beautiful senior female white-collar worker of Tang's Media, and couldn't help but secretly wonder in his heart: It seems that this share transfer is really a bit eyebrow-raising, and I haven't seen this loser's manager so happy for a long time.
They didn't go to the special vegetable market, and they didn't have time to buy some ordinary fish, meat and vegetables at a good supermarket on the side of the road.
Xu Xiaoman saw that Chen Peng specially bought a whole bag of twenty handfuls of noodles, and sighed slightly in his heart: I think that Chen Peng's blind girl sister lived by eating these noodles when her brother went out.
Poor little girl.
I don't know why, it may be that Xu Xiaoman was sympathetic to Chen Peng, piggybacking, from Chen Peng saying that his sister was a blind girl, and the girl's delicate and tender voice, Xu Xiaoman began to pity him.
Especially her sentence made Xu Xiaoman unable to let go of it in her heart: Brother, you don't have to spend money indiscriminately, I just have something to eat.
At the age of eighteen, when she was jumping like a flower and jade, arrogant and coquettish, a girl who had lost her eyes could only stay at home.
She seemed to have no other hope than the humblest and weakest of things: to eat.
She was sensible and afraid of increasing her brother's burden, Xu Xiaoman couldn't imagine, did this girl know that her brother had done everything for other women?
Xu Xiaoman wondered why Chen Peng didn't buy instant noodles.
Wouldn't that be more convenient?
As if knowing what Xu Xiaoman was thinking, Chen Peng said to Xu Xiaoman while putting the noodles in the shopping cart: "I try not to give my sister instant noodles, it is said that instant noodles contain preservatives, and I am afraid that it will speed up the failure of other functions of her eyes." ”
Xu Xiaoman said with a smile: "Don't be sensational, it's just a rumor, even if preservatives are added to the food, it won't reach the point of harming the human body, you talk like this, you're not afraid of being slandered?"
Chen Peng replied very seriously: "Rather believe it, even if there are no preservatives, there will still be other additives, my sister's eyes can't continue to deteriorate, otherwise there is really no hope." ”
Xu Xiaoman's heart moved for a moment and asked, "Is your sister's eyes still treatable?"
Chen Peng smiled bitterly, nodded, and sighed: "Yes, it can still be treated, but you have to go abroad, hey...... I can't afford it at the moment. ”
Xu Xiaoman couldn't help but glance at Chen Peng, so she didn't continue to ask, she walked away, Chen Peng didn't know what she was going to do, so she had to stand there holding on to the armrest of the shopping cart and wait for her for a while.
After a while, Xu Xiaoman was carrying all kinds of large bags of snacks in his hands, and there were actually two bottles of liquor under his arms.
Chen Peng couldn't help but beat a little in his heart, how much does this cost?
To be honest, now is the time when he is shy in his pocket, and the money in his pocket is a month's living expenses for him and Qi Yu, but he is embarrassed to let a lady who is shopping behind him pay for it herself.
Just like when Lisa was with him, Lisa was shopping, and he always followed behind to pay, never asking Lisa what she bought?
Moreover, what else does Xu Xiaoman want to buy wine for?
Chen Peng casually glanced at the brand of wine, a very high-end hardcover wine, a bottle is estimated to cost more than 300 yuan.
"Miss Xu, what are you buying wine for......? Don't drink much. ”
Although it is not good to be sentimental, thinking that Xu Xiaoman is it, he bought it for him to drink, Chen Peng still mustered up the courage to stop Xu Xiaoman from buying wine.
Xu Xiaoman smiled charmingly: "It's not you who drink, it's me who drinks it, I buy wine and drink it myself." ”
"You...... Do you still drink liquor?"
Chen Peng was simply short of breath and weak-hearted, Xu Xiaoman had already put all the things in his hand into the shopping cart and pushed towards the cashier.
This mess is sold casually, and you can't buy it without a thousand yuan.
If this was left in the past, Chen Peng would not have blinked his eyelids, for a beautiful girl like Xu Xiaoman, and she is a female executive from the headquarters, this money is really nothing.
However, now, Chen Peng is really a little powerless.
"Don't stand in front and rush to pay, these things are our working meals, and the soup will always be reimbursed to me. ”
Xu Xiaoman unceremoniously slapped Chen Peng out of the way, and simply threw out a stack of large bills to the cashier lady.
Chen Peng was a little surprised, Xu Xiaoman took out the money from his handbag so fast, he didn't even know how she pinched out the money?
Xu Xiaoman's boldness and neatness made Chen Peng, who was holding a stack of banknotes in his hand, suddenly feel ashamed of himself, and seeing that the cashier lady had already put the banknotes thrown by Xu Xiaoman on the top of the money detector and counted them, Chen Peng had to put his money back in his pocket.
The cashier lady neatly found the change, handed it to Xu Xiaoman with the receipt, and said with a smile: "Please Miss take your receipt, if you can be reimbursed, you can't lose it." ”
Xu Xiaoman smiled exaggeratedly at the attentive cashier: "Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful." ”
Chen Peng knew that Xu Xiaoman said this on purpose, and she didn't want him to spend money.
And she bought such a lot of snacks, obviously, they were all for Qi Yu.
He had long known that the relationship between Miss Xu and Tang Junfeng was not at all what he had imagined, and it was Lin Anqi who was unclear with Tang Junfeng.
Tang Junfeng is not the kind of boss who will not distinguish between public and private if a beautiful girl is coquettish to him, Chen Peng is very aware of Tang Junfeng's virtue of distinguishing between public and private.
Chen Peng felt an indescribable shame in his heart, he knew that even if Tang Junfeng reimbursed her for the money for working meals, it would be impossible for her to reimburse her for the money to buy snacks.
Chen Peng stood next to him and looked at Xu Xiaoman, who was helping the cashier to load things into the vest bag.
In addition to the guilt and anxiety, there is some gratitude, and some touching.
I am grateful that Xu Xiaoman, a senior female white-collar worker of the Tang family who seems to be domineering and unattainable, still has such a thoughtful and ordinary heart.
He suddenly remembered that Lisa, who he once loved like a treasure, was just as beautiful and domineering, but Lisa had never put herself in his shoes like this.
She had never bought even a piece of chocolate for Qi Yu.
Because Lisa had never been to see Qi Yu.
Just before today, Chen Peng had never thought that Lisa didn't go to see what was wrong with Qi Yu, but seeing that Xu Xiaoman, who had never known all his life, wanted to buy something for Qi Yu, Chen Peng suddenly felt a little touched.
Chen Peng never told his sister how much money he spent on that woman named Lisa?
Lisa had been living in a fancy apartment he had paid her to rent, and they had a tryst there every time**.
Lisa's beauty made him fascinated, he has been willing to pay for her, and he is determined to obey her, to be honest, Chen Peng's love for Lisa is almost humble.
It's like holding a precious piece of porcelain, careful not to break.
Although Chen Peng studied and worked in Beijing for several years, he is the same as Zheng Han in his bones, flowing the simple and humble blood of the descendants of fishermen in a small fishing village by the sea.
I cherish love, or rather, especially the woman I like.
Lisa never went to Chen Peng's own home, let alone Chen Peng's blind sister, she didn't go, Chen Peng didn't want her to go, he was even more afraid of letting Lisa see his real family or situation, he was very afraid of losing her because of this.
Chen Peng is indeed very, very in love with Julisa, and he is willing to do everything he can to keep that woman, but he knows better that Julisa's departure is a matter of time.
The biggest blow to Chen Peng is not so much the failure of his lifelong love business, but the unrelenting departure of Julisa.
The failure of his career covered up the pain of falling out of love, Chen Peng couldn't sit down and lick his wounds, and he didn't have the energy and material resources to find out where Lisa had gone?
He's just been fantasizing that if he recovers one day, maybe Lisa will fall in love with her old love and come back to him.
However, now Xu Xiaoman's unintentional behavior is like a slap in the face to Chen Penglai, and suddenly he realizes that no matter how beautiful and powerful a woman is, she will be empathetic, and she should also have the most ordinary compassion.
…………
Chen Peng's car went around and around, and soon left the urban ring road and got off an easy road.
Xu Xiaoman saw the other side of the cloud capital that suddenly unfolded in front of his eyes, and his heart was suddenly disappointed.
Like Lin Anqi's first visit to Chen Peng's house, Xu Xiaoman didn't expect that behind the prosperity of the clouds, and almost just a stone's throw away, there would be such a slum.
It's like a woman with a very gorgeous head and face, and all of a sudden, you find that she's wearing a pair of scruffy and worn shoes on her feet, can you imagine what kind of bad scenery it is?
At this time, Xu Xiaoman had such a strange idea about Yundu.
