Chapter 084: I've Offended You Lately
Chang An lay on the bed where he could sleep? After tossing and turning for more than half an hour, he cursed Zhou Wei 800 times in his heart, this profiteer, this capitalist who eats people and does not spit out bones, built a broken building with such a poor sound insulation effect, so bad that she can still hear the movement downstairs clearly when she lies on the bed.
He was in the living room for a while, and then into the kitchen, back and forth for an unknown number of times, and finally went upstairs, a few steps to the corridor, Chang An had heard footsteps approaching, but stopped at the door of the master bedroom and suddenly there was no movement.
Chang An tightened the quilt on his chest.
One second, two seconds, three seconds... The doorknob began to turn, and Chang An immediately closed his eyes.
Zhou Wei pushed the door in, the room was very quiet, the curtains were dead, so the light was very dim, and the person on the bed was lying on his side and curled up in the quilt, and seemed to sleep soundly with his eyes closed.
Zhou Wei sighed slightly, looked around again, and threw shawls, coats, silk scarves and other sundries on the soft collapse, and the cabinet next to her was full of paintbrushes and snack packaging bags that she had eaten but hadn't had time to throw away.
Chang'an lives alone and is very lazy, and his ability to take care of himself is almost zero.
Zhou Wei smiled bitterly and walked to the soft collapse on his tiptoes.
Chang An opened a gap in his eyelids, just to see Zhou Wei cleaning up with his back to him, he folded all the clothes on the collapsed one by one, and picked up the paintbrushes that were thrown everywhere and classified them and inserted them into the pen holder...... The whole process was meticulous and quiet.
It's hard to imagine that he was fighting billions of land in the trading center more than an hour ago, and then willing to sort out the housework for a woman here more than an hour later.
Chang An closed his eyes again, and his heart suddenly became sad again.
Zhou Wei roughly tidied up the room, turned around and walked to the side of the bed, the sleeping position of the person on the bed has not changed, and he should sleep very soundly.
At this moment, his mood was as peaceful and quiet as the air in the room, very strange, after the morning bidding, he was not thinking about returning to the company as soon as possible, let alone thinking about how to deal with the pressure that followed, but he couldn't wait to rush back, come back to see her, know that she was still there, or look at her quiet sleep like now, his heart was full of satisfaction.
Zhou Wei knew that he was slowly falling into it, but he was willing to do it.
It's so good, fortunately, she is within her reach, and she doesn't have to look for it anymore, so she can't help but raise her hand and reach over, scoop a strand of hair that Chang An covered her face to the root of her ear, lean down again, and gently drop a kiss on the corner of her lips.
Chang An felt that his heart was being pinched at that moment, and his nose was filled with the lingering smell of this man, tobacco mixed with the smell of lime and violet.
She frowned, but still suppressed the nausea in her stomach.
Zhou Wei didn't stay long, he got up and went downstairs after a shallow kiss, and it wasn't until the door was closed again that the person on the bed slowly popped open his eyelids, his eyes swept half a circle, a few folded clothes collapsed, the garbage was cleaned up, and the brushes and manuscripts were neatly arranged, but the air felt like all the smell he had left behind.
Chang An lifted the quilt with one hand and covered himself tightly from beginning to end.
Zhou Wei didn't have lunch in Changhe, or there was nothing to eat on the other side of Changhe.
He went straight to the company, and on the way he called his secretary and asked him to order a takeout.
Although the auction was only completed for more than two hours, almost half of the circle received the news, and local websites and industry websites also released news.
In just two hours, Zhou Wei received dozens of messages, congratulations from all walks of life, congratulations, anyway, they are the icing on the cake.
Zhou Wei didn't reply one by one, but only picked a few contacts who were closer to each other on weekdays.
In the afternoon, Rongbang's internal high-level meeting, the content can be imagined, mainly around Luyang Lake, because the bidding price and self-holding area exceeded the expected plan, all plans need to be changed, and the financing plan and cost accounting must be reformulated.
Then another uphill battle ensued.
The meeting lasted nearly four hours, and it was already dark outside when the meeting ended, but there was still a lot of work for him to deal with. He called Chang An and wanted to inform him that he needed to go back later, but the other party had no answer, and Zhou Wei didn't have time to think about it, so he threw the phone back on the table, but soon the bell rang again, he thought it was Chang An's call, but when he looked around, the word "star" danced on the screen.
Zhou Yan pressed his forehead and connected, "Hey..."
"Brother, I'm discharged. ”
Zhou Xin paused, he was busy for most of the day, but he didn't think to ask Zhou Xin about the situation, he called at this time, and he cared a few words as usual.
"The fever has subsided?"
"Well, it's almost gone. ”
"Then you don't have to go to work for the next few days and rest at home for two days. ”
"But the project..."
"The project is also a lot of work for you for two days, and besides, there is no one else in the galaxy?"
“……”
was yelled at by Zhou Xin, Zhou Xin didn't say more, and then the two chatted a few more words, most of which were Zhou Xin asking, and Zhou Xin answered, mainly involving the bidding in the morning and the plans for the later stage of the project.
The phone call lasted about three or four minutes, and after hanging up, Zhou Yi put himself into work, and it was already past eleven o'clock when he returned to Changhe, Chang An's bedroom door was closed, he pushed it, and found that she was actually locked, what was the situation? Although Zhou Yi was a little unhappy in his heart, it was nothing, after all, it was almost early in the morning, and he couldn't call Chang An up to open the door.
But for the next two days, every night Zhou Gong went back after overtime, the door of the master bedroom was locked, and he went out to the company in the morning, and the one in the house had not yet gotten up, which means that although the two lived under the same roof, they didn't even have the opportunity to meet.
This situation lasted for about half a week, and Zhou Wei finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he took the lunch break to call Chang An, but no one answered there.
Zhou Wei already felt that something was wrong with her, so he changed it to >, "I won't work overtime tonight, let's go out to eat together at night!"
The message was sent over, and the stone sank into the sea, but this was also expected by Zhou Wei, and he was not in a hurry and extinguished his mobile phone.
On the same day, Zhou Yan pushed the social, deliberately left work half an hour early, and the original plan to go out to eat was temporarily changed by him, thinking that Chang An always ordered takeout alone, so it was better to buy vegetables and go home to cook them by himself, and he hadn't eaten a home-cooked meal for a long time.
So Zhou Wei deliberately went around to the supermarket to buy ingredients, and it was almost half past five in the long river.
When the door opened, the room was silent.
"Chang'an?"
"Chang'an!"
After looking around, there was no one, Zhou Wei took the vegetables to the kitchen, and took out his mobile phone to call Chang An.
This time she did.
Zhou Yan asked, "Where is it?"
Chang An: "Eating out with colleagues. ”
The fire in Zhou Wei's heart burst out at once, "What do you mean, hide from me?"
Chang An paused and replied very calmly: "No, you think too much, it's just that a colleague happened to have a birthday and asked me to come along, so I came over." Her tone was natural, and she really couldn't find any flaws, but Zhou Wei was so angry.
"> sent to you at noon
"See. ”
"Then why didn't you go out to dinner and not tell me in advance?"
Chang An had already heard that he was about to jump over there, but so what?
She sighed slightly, "Sorry, I forgot. ”
"Forgot?"
"Well, I forgot, I'll tell you in advance next time. ”
“……”
Zhou Xian was nailed there all at once.
This woman... He just wanted to speak out of his breath, when a male voice suddenly came in from the other end, "Xiao Chang, have you finished your call, it's your turn to drink!"
"Sorry, my colleague called me, first of all!"
Zhou Wei hadn't reacted yet, and there was only a busy sound over there. He also deliberately took the mobile phone and looked at it, making sure that it was not due to a signal interruption or something, that is, Chang An hung up his phone.
In an instant, all the fire that was held back rushed to the door of the head.
What does she want to do?
What does she mean by that?
Zhou Xin held his mobile phone and ran around the house, so angry that he felt that his lungs were going to burst, he used to think that Zhou Xin's kind of woman was the most terrifying, her mouth was poisonous and her eyes were bad, and she teased and instigated him in front of him in a different way, but after meeting Chang An, Zhou Xin knew that there were mountain people outside the mountain.
Chang An, a little white rabbit type, looks soft and coaxing, but he doesn't give you a paw coldly, scratching your flesh and blood and you don't know what is wrong.
Stunned, Zhou Wei was exhausted, but after a few turns around the house, there was no other better way, so he could only pick up his mobile phone again and send Chang An >, "Where to eat, I'll pick you up later!"
"Tell me the address of the restaurant. ”
"Positioning!"
“……”
"Chang An, have I offended you in any way recently?
Several messages were sent in a row, but there was no movement over there.
Chang An used to hardly participate in her colleagues' dinners, and she didn't like this kind of occasion in the first place, but she suddenly received Zhou Wei's WeChat at noon and learned that he would leave work on time in the evening, so she was rejected for no reason.
She didn't want to see him.
Zhou Tao said something on the phone just now, she was actually right, she was avoiding him, and it happened that someone in the colleague group was yelling at him for dinner for his birthday in the evening, so Chang An took the initiative to go up and follow it.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, she went out from the long river.
The restaurant is set near the studio where she works, Chang An went to the mall in advance to pick a gift and then took a taxi over, although she is not good at socializing with people, but she can always be good at dealing with people.
The birthday was a female colleague, who just got married some time ago, her husband was her first love, the two have been together since high school, and the long-distance love run all the way finally came to fruition.
Chang An's relationship with this colleague is okay, although she usually doesn't have many personal friends, but she is also one of her friends in her very narrow social circle.
At that time, Chang An happened to be in London when this colleague held the wedding, so he didn't go to participate, but he saw the live wedding photos posted by other colleagues in the group, a very happy couple, after getting married, it is said that the man is also very good to the woman, and often drives to the studio to pick her up and go back together, the two have no children yet, so they will travel together on holidays, walk around, and this female colleague's circle of friends is full of dog food for her and her husband, and she can be called a "model couple" in the studio.
The atmosphere in the first half of dinner that day was very good, all of them were colleagues who usually played well, and they were all relatively young, chatting and bragging, drinking, and the natural atmosphere was very high.
I drank a little wine in the second half, and I don't know who asked: "Sister Xiaoyu, why didn't the one in your family come to celebrate your birthday today?"
The result was like a needle popping a balloon, and the "birthday star", who was already a little drunk, cried out with a wow.
Chang An was frightened at the time, what was the situation? Later, I learned that Luo Xiaoyu's newlywed husband had cheated, and the man who had been in love with her for nine years in the eyes of others was finally planted in the hands of a little vixen.
The atmosphere in the second half of the journey began to change taste, and a table of women complained about the infidelity of men, and the lower body was instinctive.
"How do you say that, if a man can be reliable, a sow can go up a tree!"
"There are too many examples of this kind around me, especially men who have successful careers after the age of 30. ”
"Yes, yes, this kind of man is usually the most popular, and women are on the pole and stick it up, Xiao An, you have to pay attention!"
In the end, somehow it suddenly went around Chang An, Chang An was stunned, what should she pay attention to?
Another slightly older female colleague next to him took over the baton, "We also met your husband last time, the conditions are very good, this kind of special beware, even if he doesn't have the guts of thieves, but he can't keep those women outside to tease him, and the current vixen is very shameless, he can do anything for the sake of the upper position, Xiao An, don't suffer from your character." ”
The female colleague seemed to be reminding her kindly, and then there was another discussion around her.
No matter how you look at Zhou Wei's type, they are all elites who are busy with their careers outside all day long, and how can Chang An, a little sheep who nest at home all day long, eat him.
It's going to be a loss! It's going to be played to death.
Everyone, you say a word, Chang An squeezed the cup in his hand tightly.
IN FACT, SOME WORDS SOUND HARSH, BUT THEY ARE NOT COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE, CHANG AN ALSO UNDERSTANDS, BUT SHE DOESN'T SAY MUCH, SHE DOESN'T LIKE THE FEELING OF BEING SURROUNDED BY DISS.
A dinner was not finished until ten o'clock.
There is no shortage of tragic news in this world, but everyone has a common problem, that is, seeing the pain and struggle of the people around them will also be excited, especially the failure of marriage or the bloody matter of the third and fourth children, which can be used as a talking point, or as a snack or food, from comfort and reasoning to a big pot of chicken soup for the soul and finally to hug each other for warmth and recuperation.
Adults in the metropolis are lonely.
Chang An looked at his drunken colleagues, but he was sober, but the price of his sobriety was to be assigned to send Luo Xiaoyu back.
Chang An didn't have a way, and in the end he was reduced to helping a female drunkard who was still crying to stand on the side of the cold road to take a taxi, but unfortunately that point happened to be the night rush hour, and there was no empty car.
Seven or eight minutes later, Chang An was almost freezing, until a black polo stopped in front of her.
"Get in the car, I'll take you back. ”
Chang An saw that it was the previous "Brother Liang", and he didn't feel a little hesitant.
The man in the car also seemed to see her embarrassment, and smiled, "Get in the car, it's just a trip between colleagues, and it's not good to take a taxi at this point, you plan to help her drink the northwest wind here all the time." ”
Thinking about it, it's not just cold, but the "birthday star" next to him doesn't seem to be sober at all.
After hesitating for a moment, Chang An still opened the car door and stuffed Luo Xiaoyu in first.
"I'm sorry, I'm going to trouble you to send it so late!"
"Don't be so polite, after all, they are all colleagues, tell me where you live first?"
"The long river looks at the villa. ”
"Then on the outskirts of the city, send Luo Xiaoyu first. ”
Chang An didn't say much, and the woman sitting next to him was still babbling and crying, "... We got on well in high school, three years in high school, four years in college, and we were still in a long-distance relationship...... When he first came to Yunling with him to work hard, he had nothing, and we were so poor that we couldn't even get the money to rent a house, but it didn't matter, I was full of water, and it didn't matter if I suffered a little with him...... Later, I finally looked forward to the improvement of his career, his parents agreed, and finally bought a house and got married, and others said that I was married to love...... From the youth to the first crow's feet in the corner of my eye, thirteen years...... Ah, I've been with him for thirteen years, and now he's coming to tell me that little vixen is pregnant? Do you know how many months, next month is the due date...... What the... What a bullshit love ......"
The crying and mourning in the car were accompanied by the woman's abuse and resentment.
Calculate the time, if the third party is due next month, it means that Luo Xiaoyu's husband had already been involved with this girl before registering his marriage with her.
Scold...... Men are always extremely selfish.
“…… But it's impossible for me to divorce now! Why? I've spent thirteen years of my youth on him, and what will he compensate me? A house or a passbook? Ahh......h I'm not rare, I'm consuming, I'm consuming them!" chattering to the point of gritting teeth, the confrontation of feelings will eventually evolve into a tug-of-war, but what can be the final result?
Chang An looked at the woman next to him who was already crying and was about to lose her anger, her makeup was spent, her eyeliner mascara was pasted, and she was embarrassed.
Chang An silently warned himself in his heart, you must not be like her in the future, but if there is still a way out in a relationship, don't hesitate, don't be reluctant, be sure to get out as soon as possible, it's okay to be sad, but the posture can't be too ugly.
Chang An endured the complaining cry of a female colleague to the door of her house, and got out of the car to help her upstairs, and the door was opened by a middle-aged man in his thirties who was a little fat, who should be the "scumbag" in the mouth of his colleagues.
Chang An naturally wouldn't say a word, and her task of sending Luo Xiaoyu home safely was completed, and when the door closed, there was immediately a sound of beating and crying inside, the woman scolded, the man roared, Chang An was not interested in listening, and ran into the elevator.
On the way, she wondered, what is marital fidelity?
Luo Xiaoyu and her husband have been in a relationship for thirteen years, but they are still vulnerable in the face of temptation.
Then I thought of my father and mother, and I often wanted to make meritorious contributions for half of my life, but he still inevitably made mistakes of principle on the issue of marriage.
Are men always wavering and hypocritical and selfish in their relationships?
"Xiao An, Building 12 has arrived!"
Chang An turned sideways, only to find that he had arrived at the door of the house unconsciously.
"Thank you for sending me back, it's late, be careful when you go back to drive on the way!" she politely said hello and pushed the car door down, but before she reached the gate of the hospital, she heard her colleague shouting, "Wait a minute!"
Chang An turned around, and his colleague had already gotten out of the car and chased after him.
"You left your bag in my car. ”
Chang An was stunned, probably stimulated by Luo Xiaoyu, and was a little distracted.
"Thank you!"
"Look at you so polite again, go, goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
The two said goodbye again, this time Chang An did not turn around and leave directly, but watched the car turn a corner and go out, and the male colleague fell out of the window and waved to her before leaving, "Go back quickly, it's cold outside!"
"Okay, stay safe on the road!"
After the car started, Chang An turned around, walked to the gate of the courtyard with his head back down, walked a few steps and looked up, and saw a figure standing under the eaves of the door.
The figure was long, leaning against the wall with its legs half-bent.
Chang An breathed a sigh of relief.
It wasn't until the person walked in front of him that Zhou Wei straightened his legs and took a hard puff of cigarette.
"Know you're back?"
Chang An didn't bother to pay attention, the courtyard door was not locked, she squeaked and pushed it open, the lights inside were brighter than the outside, she walked in as usual, Zhou Wei lost the cigarette butt in his hand and followed, and the two didn't speak when they walked through the courtyard, until they entered the house, Chang An took off his coat and changed his shoes.
The bright lights in the living room finally illuminated both of them clearly, one with an indifferent expression, and the other with obvious anger.
In the end, it was Zhou Wei who broke the deadlock first and asked: "Why don't you reply to my > Chang'an didn't squeak, lost his bag and walked to the kitchen."
Zhou Wei had to follow again, watching her pour half a glass of warm water and drink it.
"Answer my question!"
Chang An leaned on the refrigerator and looked up, the water cup was still in her hand, so she asked so lightly: "What do you want me to answer?"
"I contacted you for one night. ”
"Well, so what, I've already told you, I'm having dinner with my colleagues. ”
"So you think it's reasonable for you to come back in the car of a male colleague in the middle of the night with a body of alcohol?" Zhou Wei's eyes were obviously heavy, like a cold wind whistling outside the window.
Chang An licked his lips that were moistened with warm water.
She suddenly felt funny again, and the same emotions that had come back to her all those months ago.
"What qualifications do you have to take care of me?"
"What did you say?"
"Do you think it's forgivable that you don't see anyone all day or even stay up all night, so you have to worry about me going out to have a meal with my colleagues?"
Zhou Wei was stunned for a while, he seemed to understand something all of a sudden, and after a long time of emotion, was she blaming herself for neglecting her because she was busy with work recently?
"Chang An, there have been a lot of things in the company recently, I admit that I have less time at home, but today I also squeezed time to get off work early, it's you..."
"Yes, it's me, I admit that I deliberately released your pigeon tonight, so you can blame me for not knowing how to lift and not waiting for you to come back and give alms and appease, but so what!"
But whenever Chang'an has sharp teeth and sharp mouths, Zhou Wei has nothing to do.
He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, "Okay, let's not talk about tonight for now, can you tell me where I have offended you recently?"
"Nope!"
"Then why are you always avoiding me all this time?"
"Is there one?"
"Didn't you?"
Like two babbling children, Chang An looked at his eyes as deep as the sea and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm sorry, Zhou Wei, I don't want to quarrel with you!"
Zhou Wei also sighed, why did he want to quarrel?
"Okay, don't be noisy, then let's have a good talk. ”
"There's nothing to talk about. ”
"Then you've got to tell me what you mean by this attitude lately!"
Chang settled for a moment, and she remembered Luo Xiaoyu's crying hysteria in the car just now, so she took a slight breath, "Okay, since you came here today, I might as well make it clear, Zhou Wei, let's each retreat to the original position, don't deviate from the original purpose, this is good for you and me!"
