Chapter Ninety-Eight: You Must Be
Gu Ming's eyes just swept over her quickly, without the slightest surprise or embarrassment, but handed over the gift in his hand even more generously: "This is what I saw in the flea market before I returned to China, it looks quite interesting, I think you should like it." ”
The gift was not particularly carefully packaged, but was packed in a very simple small box. The box is small, but how heavy is it...... It's a bit weighty to hold.
Shen Ruoqi couldn't think of what it would be, if it was jewelry, earrings, necklaces, anything, it shouldn't be so heavy.
Shen Ruoqi also accepted it unceremoniously, since it was bought at the flea market, the price of this gift should not be particularly valuable.
When the box opened, it turned out to be a pocket watch full of old century style, which did look a little old, and the carved pattern on the front looked like a Nordic-style garland. When the lid is opened, there are Greek numerals on the dial, while the hands are still walking.
"It's so beautiful, common pocket watches are round, but this one is oval, and it's really interesting. Then I'll accept it politely, thank you, brother. Shen Ruoqi really likes this pocket watch, and Li Yunze can also see it, so he didn't say anything.
But in the future, Li Yunze will not give him any more opportunities to be courteous.
"It seems that Mr. Gu is going to live permanently when he returns to China this time, or is he planning to create his own brand?" Li Yunze, a person who doesn't like to talk, in order to prevent Gu Ming from having the opportunity to talk to Shen Ruoqi, he kept asking questions, as if he was checking his household registration.
"Yes, I came back from scratch without anything, and I hope to get Mr. Li's help in the future. If I fail, I hope that Mr. Li will take me in for the sake of being Ruoqi's senior brother. Gu Ming was just modest and polite.
Li Yunze didn't care whether he was polite or serious, he lowered his head and sneered: "I have always cherished talents, and Mr. Gu can rest assured of this." ”
Li Yunze's answer can be said to be very subtle, neither saying that he would not accept it nor that he would accept it. Be ambiguous and let you bother guessing for yourself!
Anyway, Gu Ming didn't take his words to heart, whether they were perfunctory or polite, they didn't care about each other.
Zhizhi and Illiam kept exchanging glances, feeling that there was some gunsmoke around them: "Why don't we leave first?"
Sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, Eddy and Illiam slipped away very uninterestingly.
There were three people left, two staring wide-eyed, and one caught in the middle at a loss.
"I had a very pleasant chat with Mr. Gu tonight, and before I knew it, it was so late. Then let's come here tonight, and we'll talk another day when we're free?" Li Yunze politely and politely ended the dinner.
Shen Ruoqi didn't say a word in the middle, it was all Li Yunze's questions and answers to Gu Ming. Tonight is probably the first time in Li Yunze's life that he has said so many things, and it is really an honor for Gu Ming to be so 'taken care of' by him.
With Li Yunze here, Gu Ming didn't want to talk to Shen Ruoqi anyway. Shen Ruoqi also wanted to end this dinner quickly at this moment, but it was so embarrassing that the air froze.
After saying goodbye to Gu Ming, Shen Ruoqi crossed his waist and looked at Li Yunze: "You who cherish words like gold, you are really like money at night!"
Li Yunze put one hand on the side of the car window, turned his face and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "This Gu Ming, I don't have good intentions at first glance, and I will rarely see him in the future." No, don't see him again. ”
Shen Ruoqi pursed his lips, Gu Mingcai really thought that he had bad intentions, right?
————
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the year is almost over. It's the depths of winter, and the sky is covered with goose feather snow. Christmas seems to have just passed, the Christmas tree in front of the mall has not been demolished, and New Year's Day has arrived.
At the top of the hill, the snow on the rooftop has accumulated a thick layer. Shen Ruoqi squatted in a down jacket and built a snowman in the snowdrift, Li Yunze sat on the sofa not far away and looked at her with his head propped up, he really didn't understand what was so fun about the freezing snow on this day?
Shen Ruoqi hadn't seen snow for a long time, and the weather here in Jincheng was rarely seen with such a big snow in previous years. Today's snow is not only falling earlier but also heavier than usual, and it may be a good sign for a good year.
"Li Yunze, is it good-looking?" Shen Ruoqi decorated the carrot into his nose, very satisfied with his work, and turned around and shouted at Li Yunze.
Li Yunze got up and walked over, looking at her white face was red from the cold, Li Yunze's hands were always cold on weekdays, but they would cover her face but it was warm.
Shen Ruoqi grinned and bent his eyebrows, and asked him with a smile: "Are you a face-killing person?"
Li Yunze chuckled: "It's not appropriate to say that you are killing with your face, it should be said that it is ...... You see, the flesh is full of flesh, and there are many images. ”
Is it ...... That lump of meat in the middle of the chicken feet?
Shen Ruoqi puffed out his hand and pinched his cheek: "You are the treasure in the palm of your hand......! The pearl in the palm of your hand is so good!"
Li Yunze smiled and nodded, let go of his hand, and turned her around in his arms. His chin rested on her shoulder, and only the smell of her body in this world made him feel the most comfortable: "Before the end of the year, the important things are almost settled, should I pay a formal visit?"
Shen Ruoqi was stunned for a moment: "Visit, who to visit?"
New Year's Day is a weekend, a total of three days off, Li Yunze thought that it was already the end of the year, and the major events in the group had almost been cleaned up, so it was time to take some time to think about him and her.
"Naturally, I went to your house to visit your father, shouldn't my uncle come to the door to propose marriage?" Where did Li Yunze understand this, he was instructed by Jiang Suran, who was also half-understood overseas.
Shen Ruoqi sneered, Uncle, who did he learn from for changing his name?
"Li Yunze, what do you like about me?" Marrying him sounded so unreal, and Shen Ruoqi still felt like this until now.
Li Yunze closed his eyes and hugged him tightly: "Is there a reason for this?" Anyway, you have to do it, is that enough?"
Shen Ruoqi knew that he was saying this very seriously, there was no lack of seriousness and jokes, even if it sounded like sensational love words, it was unreliable and could not be taken seriously, but he was serious.
She was silent for a moment, and the whole person leaned on him relaxedly, looking at the mountains that were originally green mountains but hidden in the snow: "Li Yunze, I'm ...... I was a little scared. ”
Scared of him, of the future, of everything. She only dared to look at the present, afraid to think about the future.
When Li Yunze heard this, he felt very uncomfortable. He was always too anxious to ignore her fear of the unknown variables ahead.
He opened his eyes and kissed her on the cheek. Gently swept like a dragonfly in water, it can ripple and tug at the heartstrings but not overbearing or unassuming.
There are no words, but they are worth a thousand words. This is what Shen Ruoqi has recently discovered that Li Yunze is good at, without speaking, she can easily shake her heart with a direct movement and a look.
Tonight's New Year's Eve, I heard that there is a light show and a fireworks show in the city center, which is very lively. In the past, the atmosphere of New Year's Day was completely different from now, and I don't know that from that year, the word New Year's Eve was full of this New Year's Day.
Li Yunze has never liked to join in this kind of excitement, but he couldn't stand Shen Ruoqi wanting to see it, so he had to drive to the city center.
As soon as 7 p.m. arrives, the downtown buildings begin to show their lights. All the tall buildings have become screens, shimmering with brilliant colors.
The fireworks show doesn't start until half past eight, and there are already a lot of people coming to the center just after seven o'clock. Shen Ruoqi finally occupied a good position, but he didn't expect to be squeezed out by others in a blink of an eye.
Shen Ruoqi turned around to find Li Yunze, but there were so many people that he couldn't find his figure. I finally occupied an excellent position just now, and Li Yunze said at this time to buy her a cup of hot milk tea.
It's weird? It's been going for half an hour, hasn't it? Why hasn't the people come back yet?
Shen Ruoqi waited a little impatiently, looking left and right to see what she saw? There were a couple of tired couples around her, and it was a little abrupt for her to stand alone in the middle.
Valentine's Day show affection, Tanabata show affection, 520 show affection, Double 11 also show affection, now even New Year's Day will not let go!
"Li Yunze, why haven't you come back yet?" The couple next to him was too bullying, so they hurriedly asked Li Yunze to come back.
"I was in the group building and suddenly I had something urgent to deal with. The fireworks show will be gone in a while, so you come first. Li Yunze's tone on the other end of the phone was light, and he didn't seem to feel that his silent behavior was wrong at all.
The most important thing is that Shen Ruoqi has already hung up her phone before she even starts counting him, this behavior is simply unbearable!
Shen Ruoqi was so angry that he threw down his girlfriend and said that his boyfriend was going to go, what was he going to do?
She was angry, but she still involuntarily walked towards the group building. Breathless to the door of Li Yunze's office, he just wanted to scold, but saw an A4 piece of paper pasted on the door, on which four words were printed: I am on the rooftop.
Shen Ruoqi tore off the paper and crumpled it into a ball, ready to throw it in his face as a weapon later.
The only way to go up to the roof was the staircase passage, and she was stunned as soon as she pushed open the fire door.
On the ground was a pile of lit candles, arranged in the shape of an arrow pointing to the staircase. A candle stands on each floor of the staircase, and a beautifully wrapped gift box is placed on the staircase.
This was too sudden, and Shen Ruoqi's anger disappeared all at once. Walk up the stairs and pick up the first gift scattered, with a greeting card wrapped around it, which reads: Miss Shen, Happy New Year!
Shen Ruoqi snorted coldly, don't think that just a gift can coax her into a fog.
So she picked up the second gift box, still wrapped around a greeting card: Assistant Shen, Happy New Year!
Shen Ruoqi snorted, Miss Shen and Assistant Shen, he is still such a fickle Li Yunze!
The third gift box, the box is small, and the greeting card reads: Qiqi, Happy New Year!
Well, did he get sick halfway up this staircase?
The door of the rooftop was closed, and the last gift was hanging on the handle, and Shen Ruoqi opened the greeting card again. However, this time there was not a word on the greeting card!
