I asked him how we were rescued after falling into the lake, and he didn't say.

As I took his arm, I felt a slight stiffness in his waist, which I didn't seem to notice before.

"What's wrong with you? It looks like you're twisting your waist?" he was arranging his sleeves as I went to pick up his shirt.

He smiled and pulled my hand away and told me to respect myself.

Just now he was changing his clothes on his side facing me, and I saw that he was facing my side of his body, and there was nothing unusual.

And he had a fight with me before and hugged me, so it shouldn't be a big deal, so I didn't pay attention to it.

When I picked up my phone and looked through the call logs, I found that in addition to Yang Buregret, there was also Qiao Rui's phone.

It's just that Yang Buregret shows a red missed call, while Qiao Rui has answered in green.

Looking at the time, it was obvious that it wasn't me who took it.

"Mr. Chu, did Mr. Qiao find me? What did you tell him?" I didn't shy away from it, the gentleman was frank, not to mention that Qiao Rui was also a cheerful person.

"Said you were asleep, asked him what was the matter, and he said he wanted to invite you to the event tonight. Chu Qingchuan also said calmly.

"Oh, then you ......" how do you answer?

"I said you were going to stay with me. "He's honest, too.

What does he say about "then he ......"?

"Woke you up and called back. As he spoke, he handed over the tie, which was the same color as my dress.

"Ahh I took my tie and looked at him complainingly.

"I forgot. His tone was really a "what can you do to me" attitude.

"Mr. Qiao is a very gentleman and a very qualified person, don't ...... it."

Chu Qingchuan pinched my jaw without waiting for me to finish, staring at me with a cold gaze: "I don't want to listen, how he is, it has nothing to do with me." ”

I made a look of surprise and said, "Jealous?"

"I'm not that idle. He gave me a wink.

"You also punched someone, I said I would find a chance to avenge him. ”

"Huh. His voice was very unbeaten, and there was a sense of "you try it".

I smacked my lips and called Qiao Rui back.

After connecting, Qiao Rui politely asked me if I had time in the evening, and I apologized and said that I had already made an appointment.

He smiled and said it didn't matter, he was afraid that I would be bored, so it would be good to have someone to accompany me.

I was touched and said thank you.

He thinks I'm out of sight.

I remembered that I said in front of him that I didn't like Chu Qingchuan, and I said it so decisively, and now I slapped my face in person, which is really embarrassing.

Fortunately, he has long seen that I have no feelings for someone, so I should take it as a confirmation of his sharp and tricky eyes, and we are still good buddies.

Hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Chu Qingchuan's gloomy expression.

"Now you can feel how I felt, that's great. I said in a pinched tone.

He jerked my waist against his crotch, his eyes shining, and threatened me, "Don't go too far. ”

"Okay. Can I go?"

He raised his hand and looked at his watch, saying that it was still early, so it was better to go to see the exhibition first, and the opening ceremony in the afternoon was missed.

Before leaving, I called Yang Buregret back, she said that the person in charge of Aisen made a decision on the spot to let her join, Chi Hao was also released, and when I went back, she invited me and Qiao Rui to get drunk and rest.

She also told me that because she went to Eisen, the former boss didn't dare to find fault with them, and she was extremely happy to leave the job.

I was happy for her, and by the way I asked her uncle and aunt how she was doing, and she said that she often stayed overnight in the Letters and Visits Office, as if the developer was embezzling the demolition money and the area of the homestead, anyway, it was different from what was agreed before, and the main energy of the second elder is now on defending his rights, and he will no longer urge marriage.

I congratulate her on her freedom, and she couldn't be happier.

"Have you and Chi Hao enhanced their relationship?" Finally, I asked her meaningfully.

"Hah

I was thoughtful.

"What do you want?" Chu Qingchuan noticed that I was silent and asked with a smile.

"Think...... What should happiness look like?"

"Look in the mirror and you'll know. Or, look at me?" he tilted his head and winked at me with a slight hint of his left eye.

I remembered that on the day of the forum, there was a complaint about the infringing work, and I asked him how he got the painting.

He told me that Sinan had long found that this work was not properly chosen, but because it was very suitable for my topic, he wanted to communicate and take a look.

"I overheard him talking to someone about it, and I didn't pay attention to it at first, because I didn't need to be involved in the small things. But before the business trip, Sinan had not yet negotiated, and it happened that I met the painter himself on the way, and had a speculative conversation with him, and he learned that I had a private art museum that could keep the paintings intact, so he gave me the work. Chu Qingchuan said.

"Gift, isn't that a work that he regards as a treasure, isn't it his wife's soul......" I don't think it's that simple, Chu Qingchuan said it too lightly.

"He was in the terminal stage of lymphoma and thought he could go to heaven to meet his wife, so the painting was no longer so important to him, and he just wanted to find someone who could protect it. "He said it very plainly, and I didn't delve into the story behind it at the time, and I believed it.

"And how many collections does your museum have now?" I asked.

"Find a time and take you there. He didn't answer directly.

"What about the picture you painted?" I asked again.

"What painting?" he stared at me, a look of complete unawareness.

He always likes to tease me like this, I silently hold my forehead in my heart, such a big person, is it interesting?

I clicked on my phone's photo album to show him.

But he quickly grabbed it, clicked twice, then threw the screen in front of me, and said to me gloomily, "You explain it to me." ”

When I saw it, it wasn't a selfie taken by Yang Guang before he left! I accidentally kissed the side of his face, and we laughed profusely.

With a snort, Chu Qingchuan's face became even more gloomy.

"What do you explain?Mr. Chu?" I decided to tease him.

"Why kiss him...... "He also emphasized the part, stupid and cute.

"I accidentally kissed it. "I'm telling the truth.

He casually threw his phone on the bed, and the next second I was pressed against the cabinet door by him, and the oppressive aura was deep and charming.

I looked at his inky pupils, and the strong possessiveness and domineering gaze made me gradually fall in love.

There is no woman who doesn't like the feeling of being valued by her beloved, and he is so straightforward.

I tiptoed and kissed him again, but he didn't respond and just looked at me like that, his gaze slowly softened.

Then his sharp lips lifted lightly, and we watched as we kissed each other with our eyes open.

His breath grew heavy, and I could detect him tilting his head to hide, and at that moment I bit his upper lip to warn him.

Finally, he couldn't resist me, and he grabbed the back of my head, and his thin sharp lips crushed me.

I was completely devastated, my eyelashes fluttering and my eyes closed.

However, just as my vision went dark, a pair of large, hollow black eyes suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

"He's not dead?!" the little girl woke up.

"You go away!" I pushed Chu Qingchuan away with all my strength, and under his defenselessness, the strength was so great that he even took a step back.

"Sunny?" he said, curling his eyebrows, calling my name.

I came to my senses and looked down helplessly, not knowing where to look.

He lifted my chin and looked at me and looked me in the eye as if to find something in it.

"Who is she?" he asked, his voice resonating with his ribcage, pulling up my long hair that was scattered across my chest and putting it behind my back.

I fell into his arms and listened to his heartbeat, my pulse gradually calming, but I didn't dare to close my eyes again.

"Don't ask, I don't want to say it now. "My tone is not very good.

He gently stroked my back and said, "Tell me as soon as possible, okay? I can wait, but you can't." ”

I nodded.

But I had decided not to tell him about the terrible past, he had said that he was my first man, that he had said that I was clean and pure, that I was not stained with dust, but I ...... It's dirty.

I was violated, I had a gynaecological disease as a child, and that man was my stepfather, and my mother didn't love me......

If I used to feel inferior in front of Chu Qingchuan because of emotional failure and lack of ability, then now, the dusty past once again crushed the self-confidence he helped me build, and even pushed me to an even more boundless abyss.

I calmed down and told him that I wanted to go to the exhibition, and he looked at me and applied my lip gloss and said that I looked like a porcelain doll.

We walked and chatted and soon arrived at the exhibition hall in the resort.

Glancing at the list of participating artists, I realized that the works here are indeed worth seeing.

People have probably been here during the day, but at this time, the exhibition hall is very empty and there are not many visitors.

We walked quietly and took our time to admire.

When I walked up to a work, I stopped at the same time.

In the middle of the picture, a girl with an arrow in her back is kneeling on the ground crying heartbreakingly, and there are five people behind her who are anxiously comforting her and caring for her.

But it wasn't these that attracted me the most, but in front of the girl with the arrows in her back, another girl crouching there with arrows in her back and expressing sympathy and nervousness for her.

Underneath the work is a line of small print: If you don't cry or shout, no one will pay attention to your pain.

When the staff passed by, Chu Qingchuan called her softly, saying that she liked this work and set it down.

I didn't think much of it, I thought he was enriching his collection.

"Do you see which one is you?" he asked me suddenly.

"Do you think there's me?" I asked.

"Isn't that it?" he pointed to the girl with arrows stuck in her back.

"No, there's no me in this. My back has wings. I pouted.

"Haha!" Chu Qingchuan was amused by me, and said, "It seems that you have a different opinion." ”

"Isn't that what we always say, that crying children have milk? Being strong and kind will make us more powerful than them, and since we are strong, we will inevitably face more responsibilities. "I think of Ah Shui, she should be more like the girl in the painting than I am.

Chu Qingchuan was silent for a long time, and when I turned my head to look at him, I found that the way he looked at me was different from usual.

Seemingly, something new has been discovered.

I took out my phone and took a picture of my face and looked at him in bewilderment.

"Sunshine, you have a very good advantage. He said softly.

I'll wait for the rest of the story.

"Your thinking about problems has the delicacy and sensitivity of female thinking, and at the same time, the logic and atmosphere of male thinking, and you are also a little clever. Chu Qingchuan commented on me.

"The officials praised me like this, and the little woman was not talented, and she deserved it. "My heart is beautiful.

"Don't pretend. He smiled at me.

At this time, the staff came over to confirm the information, and Chu Qingchuan said gently: "I'm sorry, she doesn't like it very much." ”

The staff smiled and said it was okay and I realized he wanted to buy it for me.

"You don't have to buy me things all the time, I'm not a kid. I said to him.

"I want to buy something I think you will like, whether it is expensive or cheap, it is my heart. He said lightly.

"But I don't think I sent you anything. "I feel like I'm a bit derelict in my duties?

"Then wrap yourself up and give it to me. He leaned close to my ear and pretended to be nothing.

Originally, it was a joke to say this, but his actions and tone made me think crookedly. I didn't answer.

We continued to walk forward, deliberately keeping our distance from the outside, and behaving in a measured manner so that no one could see our relationship other than colleagues and friends.

"You have to remember that we should learn to speak up for ourselves. Because the strong also need allies, this era is not the rivers and lakes of the past, and there will be no lone heroes alone. He said this to me as we walked to the exhibition area in front of us.

I nodded thoughtfully. Looking back, whether it was the execution of this topic selection plan or my recent life experience, I thought about doing it on my own.

But the facts tell me that it is impossible, even if I barely pass a level, the next level will not allow me to clear the level alone.

I should properly expand my circle of friends, the importance of connections in the workplace is self-evident, even if everyone is doing their own thing, but just like Chu Qingchuan said, everyone needs an alliance, we don't have to be the most loyal friends, but the consistency of purpose will make us temporarily united.

I remembered Ah Shui saying in the documentary: "In this world, no relationship is taken for granted. Whether it's a friend, a colleague, a loved one, or a lover, you need to run a business. ”

"Sometimes, love is more important than love itself. I muttered the same sentence at the end.

Chu Qingchuan nodded with a smile on his face, saying that I have learned a lot of truths recently.

At this moment, the two of us saw Jiang Haocheng and Gu Lanyi in front of me.

Gu Lanyi wanted to hold Jiang Haocheng's arm, but Jiang Haocheng was unwilling, and kept hiding, as if he was afraid that others would see him.

When he saw me and Chu Qingchuan appear at the same time, he suddenly had a loveless expression.

Gu Lanyi was different, she took the initiative to greet the two of me: "Brother Qingchuan, the sun, what a coincidence." ”

Brother Harukawa? I don't know.

"You talk, I'll go first. Before Jiang Haocheng could take a step, Gu Lanyi pinched his ears.

In my impression, Gu Lanyi has always been indifferent, and it is really surprising that she has such an emotional exposure.

"Haocheng, can you run?" Chu Qingchuan looked at the good show in front of him with a smile, and I guessed that he must know the inside story.

It seems that there is gossip that the masses like to see!

"Brother Qingchuan, why did you and Jiaoyang come over together?" Gu Lanyi twisted Jiang Haocheng's ears like holding a dog.

I have to say that Jiang Haocheng really has no frame in front of his acquaintances, and he can't see the noble style that echoed when he was in the eternal night.

I hurriedly said to Gu Lanyi: "Ah, Chu is always my boss, let's ...... together"

They looked at me with lustful eyes at the same time, and I looked like an outsider!

"The sun, your own people, you don't have to hide it. After Chu Qingchuan finished speaking, he also "coughed".

Hey, your own people?

"Cheng Jiaoyang, you can actually snatch Brother Qingchuan from Li Yutong, your combat effectiveness is okay. It's not easy, isn't it?" Gu Lanyi's words made me even more confused.

Why is it that everyone in this circle who has a better relationship with me is a relative?
