Chapter 055: She's about to freeze to death
At the end of November, it rained in autumn and cool, and after the rain stopped, the temperature in Yunling dropped to single digits.
Chang An didn't bring out many clothes, the thickest was only two sweaters, and he couldn't withstand the cold when he went out to eat at night, so he had no choice but to take time to go to Changhe to get something.
She was afraid that Zhou Wei would be there in the evening and it would be embarrassing to meet each other, so she deliberately chose an afternoon time.
The security guard at the door saw Chang An coming in with a suitcase, and saluted politely: "Miss Chang, you just came back from a trip?"
Chang An's expression was astringent, and he replied embarrassedly: "Yes, I just came back." β
Otherwise, what do you ask her to say, is it possible to say that she is about to divorce and can't live here anymore, so she moves to a hotel outside alone?
She was originally a very face-saving person, Chang Jiahui said that she was hypocritical, which she admitted.
Soon arrived at the door of the villa, pushed open the courtyard door, the rain on the lawn had not completely dried, the leaves fell to the ground, some were crushed into the mud, and even the rattan chair that Chang An used to like to sit on to draw and read magazines was full of rain and dead leaves.
There was a depressed scene in front of him, Chang An felt that Zhou Yan should not have come back to live in the past half a month, but it was normal to think about it, he rarely came here before, and now the new love and old love, the palace outside can't be lined up, how can he come here to sleep again.
This result was expected, but Chang An felt a little faint in his heart.
She actually likes this house very much, after all, she has lived in it for more than a year, and she is used to it, and she is an extremely nostalgic person, she doesn't like to change things after getting used to them, and she considers whether she can buy it directly after completing the divorce procedures if Zhou Wei agrees.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
Chang An came back this time mainly to get clothes.
She carried the empty box up the stairs and pressed the code on the door lock, only to see the wrong code on the screen.
Chang An tried twice more, but the result was still the same, she was unwilling, changed her fingerprints again, and finally had to admit that Zhou Yan had changed the password, and she couldn't get into the house.
This was a little unexpected for her.
She said she had a lot of things left here, and she had drawings besides clothes, so what was the matter if she couldn't get in now?
Chang An thought about it again and again and felt that he still had to call Zhou Wei, arrange his rhetoric in advance, and adjust his attitude, after all, it was better to be polite if he had a request.
But the phone called, and no one answered after waiting for a long time.
Chang Anxin was worried, and dialed again, this time it was even more excessive, and directly cut off her phone.
This...... Chang An was a little confused, and couldn't figure out what the other party meant, so he could only understand that he might not be able to answer the phone for a while, so he changed it to WeChat - "Sorry to bother you, I'm at the gate of Changhe now, I want to come over and get something, but the password of the door lock seems to have changed, if it's convenient for you now, can you send me the new password?"
After the information was edited, Chang An read it several times until he could make sure that every word was proper and kind, and then stood under the eaves of the corridor and waited, waiting, waiting, waiting was about to be stiffened by the northwest wind, and still didn't wait for Zhou Wei's reply.
Chang An was completely impatient, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only go back with the empty box.
Here, Zhou Wei is sitting in the back seat playing with his mobile phone.
He had just returned from a business trip in Sanya, stayed there for two days, and was rushing back to the company from the airport by car, with two missed calls from Chang'an on his mobile phone, and a WeChat message she had just sent, the more he looked at it, the more upset he became.
Xu Nan in the front seat secretly figured out the boss's mood and asked: "Mr. Zhou, the second miss finally gave me an answer this morning, but she said that she wanted you to contact her in person, you can see ......"
Xu Nan asked cautiously, for fear that something wrong would make the boss unhappy.
In the past few days, he followed Zhou Wei to Sanya to run errands, and he was almost like shaved ice along the way, and even the people on Jun Li's side were not criticized.
Although it is true that the weekdays at work are very harsh, it is rare for the low pressure to last for such a long time.
Xu Nan calculated, it must be half a month, it's terrible, and I don't know what this arrogant second lady is always messing with him, and the people below will suffer together if they make trouble.
Seeing that it was approaching the end of the year, Xu Nan felt that he would definitely not be able to have a good year if he continued like this, and he still had to find a way to ease the relationship between the two "brothers and sisters".
"Mr. Zhou, the second lady's temper has always been like this, sometimes she is stubborn, but she is not bad, you see how beautiful she is in the plan of Luyang Lake this time, I heard her assistant say that she stayed up all night for this plan for several consecutive nights, just this alone, should you take the initiative?"
Assistant Xu Nan thought he knew his boss, so he almost didn't pull the red line in the middle.
Zhou Wei finally raised his eyes, but his eyes were as cold as the cold wind outside.
Xu Nan saw that something was wrong, so he quickly lowered his head and didn't gnaw, and after a while, he changed the topic: "Mr. Jin of Longteng wants to make an appointment with you for dinner tonight, and he called me several times, do you want to reply for you?"
Zhou Wei said "um" and was about to speak, when the phone began to ring again.
Coincidentally, it was Jin Dafu's phone number, and this time it was directly called to Zhou Wei's private number.
Zhou Wei can't help but answer.
"Hey..."
"Hey, Mr. Zhou, right?, I'm Jin Dafu, ouch, I called your assistant many times and didn't reply, but I can be regarded as contacting you, how about you have a meal together in the evening?"
Jin Dafu is the boss of Longteng Building Materials, and has been trying to get in touch with Zhou Wei for most of the last half a year, including the dinner that was saved on the night of the mobilization meeting, as for the purpose can be imagined, the Luyang Lake plot is about to be listed, and the supply of building materials after the project is launched is a big piece of fat, and Rongbang Land has always been recognized as the most likely developer to win the project.
It's just that Zhou Wei doesn't like Jin Dafu's way of doing things, this head pats him on the back, and he licks He Zhaoxiong's shoes with another head, and Jin Dafu and He Zhaoxiong obviously have a very good personal relationship, and many projects of Yuanxi's construction company are sourced from Longteng.
"It may be too late for dinner in the evening, I just came back from the field, and now I rush back to the company to deal with some things, or next time, next time I will be the east, and I will invite you then." "It is impossible for Zhou Tao to directly refute people's face, it is a good thing for you to come and go in the business field.
But Jin Dafu seemed to expect him to refuse, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Don't, come on, the venue is arranged, Xiaoxiao will also come, you don't have to continue the second half with us after eating in the evening, Xiaoxiao will go with you then." β
This is ambiguous, but the meaning is clear.
Zhou Tao suddenly sneered, Jin Dafu really did not have ordinary means in this regard, he used the mobilization meeting to save a trip to the bureau before, and he saved another trip half a month ago, originally Zhou Tao didn't want to go for the second time, but Chu Feng personally called him to invite, no matter what means Jin Dafu used to get Chu Feng, but Zhou Tao couldn't touch Chu Feng's face, so he still went.
The field is still in Dingyan, and it is still those tricks, but Jin Dafu himself brought a girl from outside and introduced her as his sister, a sophomore at Yunling University.
Xu Nan had already noticed that the boss's face was wrong, and the dark clouds were over, as if something was going to happen.
"Mr. Zhou, isn't he..."
Zhou Wei raised his hand to signal him to shut up, and he still maintained his usual tone, "Boss Jin laughed, Xiaoxiao is your sister, what is it to come back with me, besides, I have a family, my wife knows and has to settle accounts with you!"
Unexpectedly, the other end also laughed, and debunked it shyly: "Who doesn't know that Mr. Zhou is Yan Fushen, Mrs. Zhou is also generous and reasonable, and Xiaoxiao has been talking to me about you recently, clamoring to see you again every day, it can be seen that Mr. Zhou is charming, even if I am a brother, even if I help her, Mr. Zhou will enjoy a face at night?"
The words have been said very clearly, Zhou Wei licked his tooth sockets without squeaking, and felt irritable when he recalled the events of that night.
"Next time, I don't have time today!"
He simply pinched the call directly, and he didn't breathe for a while.
Xu Nan didn't know what they talked about on the phone, but he felt that Zhou Wei's whole person suddenly became lonely after the phone call.
"Mr. Zhou, are you..."
"Let's go back to the river. β
"Huh?"
"For the time being, I won't go to the company for the time being, and send me to Changhe. β
Xiao Zhao parked the car outside the yard, and Zhou Wei went in alone.
He did change the password of the door lock, and he drank a lot of wine at the dinner that Jin Dafu saved some time ago, and asked the driver to send him to Changhe after the game, and he came in and saw a house full of things.
Her slippers, her magazines, the colored pencils and paints she paints, and the scanner in her study.
Open the wine cabinet in dozens of rows of all kinds of wines, different origins, years and brands, she has done research in this regard, Zhou Wei even saw that a few were auctioned from the auction.
She also has a sweet tooth, with a cupboard of pastries and chocolates and a few bottles of yogurt in the fridge that she hasn't had time to drink.
The quilt cover in the master bedroom has also been changed, it used to be a small flower, goose yellow or lake blue, and there is a circle of lace around it, Zhou Jian secretly thought when he saw it for the first time, well, it looks quite calm, in fact, it is obviously a princess girl's heart in her bones, and now the princess girl's heart is gone, and the quilt cover is replaced by the aunt with a tough navy blue stripe.
Finally opened the cloakroom, a row of dresses, long-sleeved, short-sleeved, knitted, chiffon, all kinds, but all of them were light-colored, Zhou Xian's mind appeared that touch of figure, slender, exquisite, skirt wrapped around the body to tie out a small thin waist, black hair shawl, cut eyes like water, standing there at him Yingying smiled, shouting: "Ah ......" and then he was stunned, angry and itchy, viciously ran downstairs to change the password.
At that time, it was through the strength of wine, whether it was to vent anger or relieve hatred, anyway, I only felt extremely happy after changing it in a daze, but now I tried back and forth at the door a few times, and found that the problem was serious, and he didn't remember what the new password was.
On the way back to the company, Zhou Wei always had a gloomy face.
It is understandable that people will always do something impulsive or even childish when they are stimulated, but this style of painting is obviously not in line with Zhou Wei's character.
How could he be angry for someone for more than half a month?
He felt that something seemed to be moving in a direction beyond his control.
β¦β¦
In the next few days, Chang An also tried to contact Zhou Wei, but no matter whether he called or sent a text message, he was in vain, and he couldn't get any reply from this Zhou Dashao.
Chang An is also strong in his bones, and he has self-esteem, so he simply bites his breath and gives up.
Yunling's temperature continued to drop, and it was strange that it was cold below zero in December, and Chang An couldn't let her go out at night because she didn't get thick clothes.
During the day, I can only try to minimize travel, nest in the room to blow the heater, catch up with the draft, call room service or takeout when I am hungry, and the life is quite comfortable, the only deficiency is that there is no wine, or the wine shouted by the hotel is not her appetite.
At first, she was able to grit her teeth and endure it, but then she received a transatlantic call from London.
The call was made by the nurse Sister Zhang, who was said to have hidden it from her grandmother.
"Ms. Xue can't eat anymore, she went to the emergency room again last night, and only came out this morning, Dr. Stephen said that it may be the last month or two, Miss Chang, do you want to come back and have a look?"
After that phone call, Chang An was not so particular, two or three hundred Changyu dry red could still be eaten, it was just a little worse in taste, but it didn't affect her at all that she could sleep with peace of mind after drinking too much.
In early December, Chang An began to go back and forth to the studio, because there was no scanner in the hotel room, the sketches could not be put into the computer, and the painting book was left by her on the other side of the long river, so the finishing work could only be taken to the studio to do.
In order to avoid freezing, she always picks the sun out before going to "work", and rushes to the hotel before the sun sets.
An elderly aunt among my colleagues couldn't stand it, "Xiao Chang, are you cold in a skirt on a cold day?"
What can Chang An say, she is almost cold to death, but she can only pretend to be a warrior in front of people.
"It's okay, it's not cold. β
A girl of the same age as Chang An next to her helped: "Sister Zou, beautiful frozen people, besides, Xiao Chang came back from London, the winter over there is colder than ours, it's okay, it's the same when you get used to freezing." β
Sister Zou could only look at Chang An's two snow-white thighs and sighed: "Tut...... You are now a group of little girls, when you were young, you didn't know how to maintain it for the sake of beauty, and you will suffer when you give birth to a child in the future. β
Chang An: "......"
The days continued in this painless but increasingly cold atmosphere, until Chang An received a phone call one night.
At first, she didn't know who called, but the screen showed a string of local unfamiliar numbers, and after connecting, the other party reported to her home.
"Hello, I'm He Ling, I got your contact information from Jiahui, didn't disturb your rest, right?"
Chang An was stunned at first, but in fact, she didn't have anything in her heart, anyway, she has always been the best at disguise.
"No, is there anything to do with me?"
"Oh, yes. He Ling has a straightforward personality, so he gets straight to the point, "It will be Haodong's birthday on Christmas Eve in a few days, I want to surprise him, but I don't know what he likes, I asked Jiahui She said you may know, after all, you have had a good relationship since childhood, so I want you to come up with an idea." β
Chang An really felt ...... at the time I want to slap Chang Jiahui hard and teach this unreliable sister that she always causes trouble, and the second is that I want to hug myself, after all, I feel so uncomfortable.
"Eh, it's Christmas Eve in a few days, time flies... But I haven't had much contact with him in recent years.,He who liked before may not like it now.,After all, people will change.,Besides, you're a couple.,I'm sure he'll like what you choose.γ β
Chang An couldn't help but praise himself, he looked good, pretending to be so similar.
He Ling over there probably thought about it and felt that it made sense, "Yes, Haodong also said, he likes whatever I want, hehe...... Then I'll think about it again, oh yes, is your mobile phone number a WeChat ID? I'll add you when I turn around, Haodong invites you and Mr. Zhou to come over for dinner on his birthday. β
Chang An ended the phone call with great difficulty, but he couldn't help but open a bottle of wine, stopped calling room service, and took a vodka directly from the minibar of the refrigerator.
Vodka is a good thing, heating, melancholy, hypnosis, all functions can be matched.
As a result, I slept late the next day, and I was still woken up by Chang Jiahui's phone call.
"Sister, I have paid my salary today, the first salary in my life, and I will invite you to dinner in the evening. β
Chang An didn't want to go, so he opened his mouth to refuse, but Chang Jiahui didn't listen, "Don't, I said that I will invite you to eat with a salary, if you don't come, I will directly call for takeout to eat at your house!"
The so-called "your family" in her mouth is naturally a long river, and Chang An has no choice but to agree.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, I received a string of addresses from Chang Jiahui.
Chang An gritted his teeth and picked out the thickest sweater to put on, but he still felt that it was not enough, so he came back and drew a scarf.
The scarf was bought by her in a small shop at the door of the studio a few days ago, it was really cold at the time, so I went in and chose one, beige, the shopkeeper's little sister also blindly emphasized that it was a hit this year, saying that Chang An's temperament was better than those stars in the street after being encirculated, but unfortunately the polyester material, the workmanship fabric was not good everywhere, Chang An endured the pain of being pierced in the face and neck all the way back, and forced to the hotel, and the scarf was thrown in the cabinet by her after returning to the hotel.
At this time, he pulled it out, took it and walked to the door of the hotel, the sun was sinking in the west, the north wind was blowing, the same as a knife cut, forget it, it is better to die than to freeze to death, Chang An still put the 99 yuan hot scarf around his neck.
originally thought that Chang Jiahui would have to bled once after getting her salary, but when the taxi drove to the destination, she knew that she had fallen for it.
The place where Chang Jiahui made an appointment was actually a food street, just behind the university town, which was actually a small alley.
Taxi to the entrance of the alley can not enter, Chang'an can only get off the car and walk, there are a lot of pedestrians on the road, but three or three are college students in pairs, there are couples hugging each other, there are classmates chatting with milk tea, and on both sides are all kinds of small shops, what hot pot barbecue and jewelry shops, the most left is a private small hotel, and the guests who come in and out are also students in nearby schools.
Chang An was shocked to find that the domestic atmosphere is really open now, and it seems to have become commonplace for universities to come out and live together and open a house.
But Chang An didn't have the heart to think about this, she froze to death, and she had no sense of direction, so she asked several people to find the name of the store that Chang Jiahui sent - a pot of sheep and scorpions in the old city.
What is a sheep scorpion? Chang An has no concept of this in his cognition, and he walked into the store in a daze, where the black miasma was very small, and there were about a dozen tables crowded, and each table was almost full, and the air was full of mutton.
Chang An is sensitive to taste, and when he first walked in, he almost couldn't help but vomit.
"Sister, what's this!" suddenly heard someone shouting, looking for the sound and looking over, a hand waving in the figure and wearing disposable gloves on it.
Chang An resisted the urge to vomit and walked over, attracting countless eyes on both sides, and even male classmates who had drunk too much whistled at her.
The main thing is not that Chang An looks much better than the country and the city, and most of her face is wrapped in a scarf, there are really few girls who wear skirts with bare legs on cold days.
You think, winter is full of down jackets and coats wrapped tightly, even if you wear a skirt under the thick cotton socks, but Chang An has an almost perverted hypocrisy in this regard, she doesn't like to wear socks, and she doesn't have a long coat to cover her body, as a result, a cashmere pullover sweater on the top, milky white, can cover the bottom of the buttocks, the lower linen pleated skirt, the skirt is not long, two slender white bare legs are put in the lambskin boots, fortunately, the boots are still high, can be wrapped above the knees, so the large leg between the skirt and the knee is like a handful of snow in winter, delicate and soft to cause people to trembleγ
This kind of dress walks into a messy sheep and scorpion shop, and it is difficult not to be seen.
Chang An couldn't care so much, and walked quickly to the table.
Chang Jiahui said, "Chivalrous girl, why do you wear so little?"
She shouted, "Scrooge, why did you pick this kind of place?"
In the end, it was Chang Jiahui who took the initiative, "Oh, what about the first month's salary, and I paid off my credit card of 2,000 before the money was hot, do you think anyone is like you, and you have hundreds of millions of assets waiting to be inherited as soon as you are 18 years old?
This eloquence alone must be the sister to win in the end, Chang An smiled helplessly, or sat down obediently, but before sitting down, he carefully wiped the table and chairs with wet wipes, and the posture made Chang Jiahui laugh all the time, "Ouch, my eldest lady, can you not be so particular? This is the food street of a university town, not the high-end restaurants you enter in London that require a 15% service charge!"
Chang An: "......"
I didn't bother to argue with her anymore, so I took a tissue and padbed the bottom of my sleeve to prevent the grease on the table from rubbing on my clothes, and asked, "Nothing to do, say, do you have something to help me with this meal?"
Chang Jiahui smiled, and immediately scooped up the kettle to pour tea for her, of course, Chang An would definitely not drink tea in this kind of place.
"Take it, see that your face is white from the cold, warm up first and then talk!"
As a result, before Chang'an could take the teacup, two girls suddenly walked over next to him.
"You're Miss Chang, right?"
Chang An was stunned, turned around, and the person who talked to her was a tall girl, with a high-profile purple hair, lip studs, pierced ears, and a somewhat burly figure, like a powerful sister, while the other girl behind her was much more delicate, with a white coat and a ponytail, looking thin and small, which was very annoying.
The two girls, one tall and one short, took the initiative to come over to talk, Chang An looked at it, and he didn't think of when he knew this person.
"I'm Chang An, I'm just sorry, have we met before?" she remained polite and generous.
The purple-haired girl snorted: "You definitely didn't know us before, but you should know each other today, this is Xiaoxiao, I am Xiaoxiao's roommate, we are both students of Yunling University, and Xiaoxiao has another identity - she is Zhou Shaoxin's girlfriend!"
Chang An: "......"
Chang Jiahui: "......"
