077. She cried for a long time by the river
After He Yunxiang finished speaking, he glanced at Huo Yingqi, sneered and said: "In business, like Mr. Huo, what I pursue is nothing more than interests. β
is not afraid of him at all, and says so directly that what he pursues is interests.
It's kind of interesting.
Huo Yingqi became more and more interested in the frank and straightforward He Yunxiang.
"Editor-in-Chief He, would you like to cooperate with me?" Huo Yingqi tilted his head and smiled, waiting for his reply with confidence.
This young man who met him for the first time made a good first impression, and Fok Yingqi was eager to include him in his command and seek a common future.
"Mr. Huo, there are some things that you may not have understood. He Yunxiang shook his head and replied concisely. "All the time, all my efforts have been to be able to take the initiative myself. β
Huo Yingqi stared at him, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's falcon, He Yunxiang met him fearlessly, and his lips outlined an impeccable laughing arc.
"Well, I'm coming to you this time, in fact, just to talk about the news. β
He Yunxiang laughed: "It's okay, we released the news, it's just to pull a gimmick and increase the popularity of the magazine, besides, the matter has already been reported, you can withdraw it." β
Know the purpose of your coming, and do things without leakage.
Huo Yingqi also smiled: "Really don't think about it at all?"
"Thank you Mr. Huo for your weight, I'm used to it, it's good. β
"Well, there are some materials here, which will be used as my remuneration for buying and sending out magazines. β
Huo Yingqi said and handed over the USB flash drive in his hand.
He Yunxiang didn't reach out to pick it up, he glanced at the front stage, and the secretary hurriedly caught up and respectfully took the USB flash drive.
"This is the golden time for press release, if Mr. Huo has nothing else to do, I will not accompany him. β
At this point, Huo Yingqi was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he had to get up and say goodbye.
Seeing Huo Yingqi walking away, He Yunxiang stood up and asked the secretary, "What is the content?"
The secretary glanced at the computer screen, and said with a pout: "Qiao Wuwu, but a female model outside the ten lines, not even a star, is this news so valuable?"
"Joe is worry-free, huh?"
He Yunxiang laughed: "Whether it's that valuable or not, it depends on which man she follows." β
took the USB flash drive handed over by the female secretary, and he said: "This news will not be sent for the time being, I have a greater use, today I went out to run a piece of news, wait a while for the American editor to typeset as soon as possible." β
"Okay, editor-in-chief. β
And Fok Yingqi's car slowly moved along the inner ring road.
As if a little stuffy, he opened the window, rested his left elbow on it, and lit a cigarette on his finger, and the whole person fell into deep thought.
Seriously, Huo Yingqi didn't expect He Yunxiang to refuse.
Unable to fight side by side, this young man may become his formidable opponent one day in the future.
Because, He Yunxiang has more maturity than his age, too calm, too calm, through his eyes, Huo Yingqi not only saw the burning fighting spirit.
Also, a very obvious hostility towards him.
After thinking about it for a long time, I really have never had contact with He Yunxiang.
His head hurt a little again, Huo Yingqi pressed out the cigarette, took a deep breath, and closed the window.
Don't think about it so much.
Returning to the president's office from the editorial office, Huang Ruier was already waiting there.
"Why are you here?"
Huang Ruier greeted her with a smile, took the suit that Huo Yingqi took off, and said while helping the man hang it on the hanger next to him: "The last movie was very good at the box office, shouldn't we have a celebration banquet?"
"Oh, yes, did you bring your report card?"
Huo Yingqi's voice disappeared inside the door.
Xu Tezhu looked at the closed door with a helpless expression, why did the president and Huang Ruier suddenly become more intimate?
Could it be that it was just his delusion, that they were actually just really talking about business?
However, no matter what, I believe that the wise president can grasp this degree.
On the villa side, Qiao Man didn't answer the phone, and the old man was very worried.
Guo Zhendong glanced at the anxious old man and asked, "Do you usually like to go to a place, or who do you have a better time with?"
"This ...... I really don't know. β
"If there's something urgent, don't worry too much, I'll go out and find out. β
After appeasing the old man, Guo Zhendong went out.
He went straight to check the camera near the Huo Building, and found that Qiao rushed down with his face covered, called a taxi on the side of the road, and left in the east.
Inexplicably, my heart hurts.
Guo Zhendong took out his mobile phone and dialed Qiao Man's phone again, but she still didn't answer.
He tracked down the taxi, and the driver's reply was to get out of the car and walk in the direction of the river.
This stupid woman, shouldn't you think about it?
Thinking of this possibility, Guo Zhendong was really anxious, and hurriedly called a taxi to the direction of the river.
Along the way, he kept looking at the figures on the side of the road, and whenever he saw the woman in the red sweater, he couldn't help but look twice.
I came all the way to the river, paid the fare, and stumbled along the way.
"Xiaomanβ"
Guo Zhendong shouted several times, and the answer to him was the sound of the whirring wind.
Finally, he saw an old man picking up a drink bottle by the river, and he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Old man, have you seen a young woman in a pink sweater here?"
Fortunately, the old man thought about it, pointed to a short distance and said, "Under the bridge pier over there, there is a woman in red clothes, with a demented look, sitting in place for a long time, you go and see." β
"Thank you. β
Guo Zhendong rushed away, ignoring the sand poured into his shoes.
When I came to the bottom of the bridge pier, I saw Qiao Man sitting on the ground with his legs crossed, his eyes were misty, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Look at her head again, her hair is very messy, it should be blown by the river wind, but there are finger prints on her face and neck, and her eyes are moving down, and there is a circle of purple-red strangulation marks on the exposed wrist.
It should be, it was treated by the explosive force.
"Xiaoman, you...... Are you alright?"
ββ¦β¦β
Guo Zhendong slowly squatted down and met Qiao Man's gaze.
He stretched out his hand, and was just about to hold Qiao Man's hand, when his fingertips touched the back of the woman's hand, and she quickly retracted her hand, and then the whole person shrank back.
"Don't be afraid, it's me, Zhendong. β
Qiao Man seemed to come back to her senses at this time, and her eyes slowly brightened when she looked at Guo Zhendong.
"Zhendong, I ......"
I couldn't say anything about the rest of the words, and I was already crying.
"What's the matter, is something happening? You name it, I'm here, don't be afraid. β
Qiao Man closed his eyes fiercely.
How can she say this kind of thing?
Originally, it was embarrassing enough to fake marry Huo Yingqi, but now, being eaten by her nominal husband is also justified.
"I ...... I...... I just got into a fight with someone else. β
Guo Zhendong was stunned for a while, and then laughed: "Yes, it's glorious." β
Since the woman didn't want to say it, he didn't force it.
A quiet and well-behaved woman, she has always been a good student in school, and she never causes trouble, how can she suddenly fight with someone?
Qiao Man lowered his head, and felt a little pain in his neck.
She snorted softly.
"Do you still know that it hurts, do you want me to help you avenge your hatred?"
Shaking his head, Qiao Man said lightly: "No need, everyone has run away." β
His expression was full of disappointment and loss.
"Okay, next time you see it, call me as soon as possible, and I'll help you." β
"Good. β
Guo Zhendong stood up and stretched out his hand towards Qiao Man, ready to pull her up.
Unexpectedly, she pressed her knees and got up by herself, probably because she had been squatting for a long time, and she actually stumbled and almost fell.
The man's eyes were quick, he grabbed her, and asked with concern, "What's the matter?"
Qiao Man blushed, moved his ankle slightly, and said, "It's a little numb, just wait a while." β
The wind by the river was a little fierce, and it ruffled Qiao Man's hair again.
She stretched out her hand, ready to pull up the messy hair and hook it behind her ear, who wanted to, it felt dark in front of her eyes, and she didn't know anything.
The whole body fell down softly.
Fortunately, Guo Zhendong was about to pick her up, and he hugged her now.
Looking at Qiao Man's flushed cheeks, he couldn't withdraw his hand, so he touched the woman's forehead with his forehead.
Sure enough, as he thought, the woman had a gorgeous fever.
Crying by the river, being blown by such a cold river wind for several hours, without a fever is really an iron man's body.
Sighing softly, Guo Zhendong hugged the woman a little tighter and strode towards the bridge.
Because of the fever, Qiao Man slept very deeply this night.
She didn't know anything about how she was carried into the hotel by Guo Zhendong and how a doctor came to give her an injection, she just fell asleep quietly.
When it was almost dusk, Qiao Man slowly woke up.
To be precise, as soon as she opened her eyes, she smelled the aroma of delicious food.
As soon as Guo Zhendong entered the door with a food bag, he saw Qiao Man sitting at the head of the bed, and he couldn't help but be happy.
"Did you wake up?
Qiao Man didn't lie either, and nodded vigorously: "Yes, it's very uncomfortable." β
The man was so anxious that he hurriedly put the food bag on the coffee table at the door, walked over and looked her up and down, and saw that his cheeks were not so flushed, and then asked, "Do you still feel dizzy?"
"No, it's ...... Stomach and feel hungry. β
Qiao Man deliberately spoke and slurred.
When Guo Zhendong thought about what she meant, he also laughed and said, "I bought some food, you go wash your hands and eat a little." β
"Wow, spicy boiled fish, spicy shredded squid, pumpkin cream soup...... Zhendong, you're too strong! How did you know that I just wanted to eat these heavy-tasting foods at the moment?!"
Guo Zhendong glanced at the woman who screamed again and again, and smiled again: "Go and wash your hands, eat it while it's hot, if it's not enough, I'll go out and buy it again." β
"Won't you eat together?"
"I've only come back after eating, so you can eat. β
Qiao Man's mind was completely hooked by the deliciousness, he just nodded, rolled up his cuffs, washed his hands and rushed over, and immediately took the chopsticks to eat.
Really hungry, Qiao Man ate happily, Guo Zhendong looked at her, and his eyes shifted to the laptop to continue to be busy.
I took an order in the morning, and the customer was in a hurry to ask for it early tomorrow morning, and today in order to find her, the work was not completed.
Looking at Guo Zhendong's calm face, Qiao Man's teasing heart rose again, she picked up the spoon, dug out a piece of the flesh of the big green mango, and walked in front of Guo Zhendong.
"Zhendong, look. β
Guo Zhendong moved his gaze from the computer screen to her.
"You're here," she tapped a finger to his lips, "something." β
Guo Zhendong subconsciously opened his lips, and before he could do anything, a small piece of unknown object had been quickly stuffed into his mouth.
His face froze, he glanced at Qiao Man, who ran away with a snicker, leaned over and took out a few pieces of paper from a box of papers, and without saying a word, he spit out the flesh in his mouth that he didn't dare to move, and then threw it into the garbage basket.
Then, as if nothing had happened, he continued to be busy.
Qiao Man looked at his suddenly serious side face, and gradually stopped laughing.
Well, she admits that her pranks are boring.
However, Guo Zhendong didn't eat what she fed, and she didn't move the spoon at all.
"I'm sorry, Zhendong, I'm just kidding, I won't feed you indiscriminately in the future. β
She pouted and spoke reluctantly, as if complaining about his incomprehensible feelings.
Guo Zhendong turned his head to look at her after a while, but he raised his hand, pulled up the cuffs a little, pointed to the red marks on his head and said lightly, "I'm allergic to mangoes, I just held it for a while, you see, it caused several red rashes so quickly." β
Qiao Man looked at his arm, only to feel that his scalp was numb, and his eyes were red all of a sudden.
She ran to the coffee table, scooped up a small half bowl of pumpkin cream soup and ran over, "Hurry up, wash your mouth." β
ββ¦β¦ If it's okay to wash it, then it's not called allergies. β
"So, what then?" Qiao Man looked at him so anxiously that he burst into tears, and suddenly had an idea, "Why don't you go and spit it out!"
Spit it out?
Guo Zhendong laughed, paused, and said, "Then why don't you say suck it out for me?"
Before Qiao Man could realize the meaning of these words, the man's soft lips had already been pasted.
She was dumbfounded.
Guo Zhendong looked at the girl with a focused and serious expression, and the foxy goblins who sucked men's essence in Liaozhai came to mind, and the black lines on their foreheads were a little crying and laughing.
God knows what kind of impulse it was just now, and suddenly he wanted to kiss it like this.
After a while, he let go of Qiao Man and looked at her seriously.
I just want to see how she will react when he kisses her like this?
In a flash, I heard a nervous inquiry in my ears: "Zhendong, is this useful? Is it clean? Do you want to ...... Suck again?"
Guo Zhendong looked at the beautiful eyes that were floating in the water, and the nervousness that appeared in the wet and hazy mist made him can't bear to disappoint her.
"It's okay, it seems to be much better, with the air conditioner on, the food is going to be cold, you go eat." β
Qiao Man hesitated.
She took Guo Zhendong's hand, her white fingers trembling and caressing the red marks on his arm, full of guilt.
"Zhendong, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were allergic......"
She knows the pain of allergies, in the past, a neighbor was allergic to peanuts, because he accidentally ate a flatbread with peanut crumbles, he had a rash all over his body, and finally died.
If something happened to Zhendong because of her unintentional naughty behavior, she would definitely not forgive herself.
Therefore, not to mention that kissing can be eliminated, even if she is asked to carry a tall man to the hospital now, she will definitely go without frowning.
At this moment, Qiao Man realized that he was really a little naΓ―ve.
The corners of Guo Zhendong's mouth tilted slightly, thinking to himself, just this rash on her arm made her shed tears, so if she was allowed to see those on him, wouldn't she cry and faint?
"It's okay, I have anti-allergy medicine, wait for two pills, these rashes will go away in two days. β
Hearing this, Qiao's eyes lit up, "Really, then you can take medicine now, I'll pour you water, eat early, it's better to eat early." β
When Guo Zhendong took the medicine, Qiao Man no longer had an appetite.
"Full?" Seeing that she no longer moved her chopsticks, Guo Zhendong asked with concern.
Qiao Man nodded and sat down beside him, the woman still had a little medicinal fragrance on her body, which seemed to tease Guo Zhendong's sensitive olfactory nerves.
"Well, you go get busy, I won't bother you anymore. β
Guo Zhendong stared at her for a long time, Rutan's deep black eyes were bottomless, making people unable to read a trace of emotion.
Qiao Man began to feel a little uneasy.
"You know what? I have thought about this scene for a long time, where two people love each other without disturbing each other, giving each other space and growing together. When I was very young, my parents were still alive, and when they came back from work, my mother went to cook, and my father took me to play, but later, they were gone, and I didn't have a home. β
Guo Zhendong's voice became deeper and deeper.
Qiao Man raised his hand and pressed the man's trembling shoulder.
"We all had a very happy childhood, and they are in memory, enough, isn't it?"
Guo Zhendong raised his eyes and scooped Qiao Man into his arms.
The woman struggled to leave, but he whispered, "Xiaoman, thank you, you can give me strength at any time." Stay with me, okay?"
The silence spread, and Qiao Man suddenly felt a panic in his chest.
"Zhendong, now is not the time to talk about this topic, let's talk about it later, okay? At this moment, we are all very good friends, let's deepen our understanding and talk about it. β
Putting away the food box on the coffee table, Qiao Man said, "Zhendong, you have something to do, I'd better leave first." β
Guo Zhendong was stunned for a moment, and said seriously: "Okay, I can put down the things in my hand for the time being, since we are already very good friends, it is necessary to deepen our understanding, don't you say?"
Qiao Man didn't understand what he meant, and raised his eyebrows.
This action, even she herself doesn't know, why she did it naturally.
That look is exactly the same as what Huo Yingqi made.
Guo Zhendong's eyes had a hint of disgust, but it passed in a blink of an eye.
"Xiaoman," he said after a long time, "may I ask you a question?"
"Tell me, and I'll answer it seriously. β
"How many boyfriends have you ever had?" Guo Zhendong said slowly.
β¦β¦
Why did you ask this question suddenly, Qiao Man was stunned?
"One, you know, Han Jung-hoon is already in the past tense. β
At this moment, who wants to mention that disgusting ex-boyfriend in the past tense?
"So...... Huo Yingqi, what's going on?"
Qiao Man thought for a while, and could only say, "It's a long story, and the time is limited, so don't mention him, right?"
Guo Zhendong took a deep breath: "How can you avoid him? You have already moved into the Huo family's villa, and you have obtained the approval of the old man, do you still want to hide it from me?"
Qiao Man didn't know what her face was, but she felt that her brain was short-circuited again, and asked rhetorically, "How can you ask that?"
She didn't want to be pressed with questions she didn't like answering.
The man stood up and said in a serious tone: "I have the right to know, what role Huo Yingqi plays between the two of us? Or is it because of him that you refuse to choose me?"
Qiao Man felt a little headache, she said: "Your question, it's actually very rude, you know, right? Not to mention that you are not my boyfriend now, even if you are, you can't ask me so strongly, I refuse to answer." β
"Xiaoman, I didn't mean that, you listen to me. β
Guo Zhendong interrupted Qiao Man's words, at this time he looked at Qiao Man, his breathing was very urgent, he was more excited than a woman, and his face turned red.
"Listen to me, Xiaoman, I regret asking you this question, I'm sorry. Just because ...... Because I'm not happy, I'm very upset. The thought of other men before me made me go crazy with depression. β
"Whether you're happy or not, that's not my problem, Zhendong!" Qiao Man's voice suddenly raised a lot, because she felt that Guo Zhendong was not only rude but also selfish, and even a little unreasonable.
ββ¦β¦ Why isn't it your problem?Xiaoman, I'm not happy because I can't concentrate on my work as much as I used to, because even when I'm working, I think about you. If you look at it, I think I'm in such a hurry to hand over the work, but I still give it to you as soon as I want......"
ββ¦β¦β
Qiao Man was speechless in this colorful and chaotic mood and vibration, and after looking at him for a long time, he still resisted stubbornly, stubbornly and indignantly: "What's the use?! Everything is a mess, I said, I don't want to talk about these upsetting things at the moment!"
Guo Zhendong's hand reached over, held the woman's hands, and said softly: "Why can't you choose to trust me first?" β
Qiao Man smiled helplessly and said, "Because I'm a little pessimistic, because I don't want to be hurt by disappointed hopes, I don't want to believe it." But now I feel like that's not a reason anymore. β
"Xiaoman, leave Huo Yingqi behind, from now on, we like each other, okay?"
ββ¦β¦β
Taking a deep breath, Qiao Man said, "You have to give me a little time." β
"But, I've already given you time, do you know it, as long as I see you and Huo Yingqi together, I'm really going crazy with jealousy. β
Then, he opened his arms and hugged Qiao Man.
The long arms were good, and they were firm and gentle, and Qiao Man sniffed it, and there was a smell of fragrant laundry soap on his body.
She needed a little time to sort out her emotions.
