Part II, Chapter 14
Zhu Xiaolan didn't expect that she would be so calm when she saw Lin Shengjie again, she was completely free of panic and timidity as she imagined, and she smiled very formulaicly.
She unfolded her drawings to Lin Shengjie, and Lin Shengjie also handed over the electronic file of the drawings she drew to Zhu Xiaolan, and the two discussed for a whole afternoon to determine the place to modify, and then prepared to revise the drawings.
After saying that it was time to get off work at work, Lin Shengjie estimated Zhu Xiaolan's reaction and said, "Do you want to have a meal together?"
Zhu Xiaolan got up and took her bag, and saw that no one was paying attention to herself, so she said: "Lin Gong, you don't want to be a fish, and I don't want to be a fish, everyone still broke up after work." ”
Lin Shengjie felt a little guilty in his heart, and he was also a little funny, and Zhu Xiaolan lost her temper and looked like a little girl. He followed Zhu Xiaolan out of the office, went downstairs, and when he passed the parking lot, Lin Shengjie said: "Xiaolan, I sincerely came to apologize to you." I was too impulsive that night. ”
Zhu Xiaolan stopped, turned to look at Lin Shengjie, and said, "Lin Gong, when you are impulsive, you can sprinkle your anger on people you don't know very well?" If I accept your apology now, and then the two of you eat and walk around like before, then the next time you get angry again, will I become the object of your anger again?"
Lin Shengjie smiled bitterly, how could he forget that this woman seemed to be easy to get along with, and once she touched the reverse scales, she completely changed her appearance......?
"You don't have to explain to me, in fact, we are not even friends!" Zhu Xiaolan turned around and walked two steps, thought about it and then turned back and said: "As a work partner, I think it's pretty good, but as you said, there are actually no good friends between men and women, and I agree with it." Foresters. Since we all agree in this way, it is impossible to go out to eat together again. See you soon!"
Lin Shengjie touched his nose, this time he really lifted a stone and hit himself in the foot. It's really bitter and I can't say it.
Zhu Xiaolan said these words, and saw Lin Shengjie's expression again. My heart is very refreshing. She walked briskly, she was bored alone for a few days, and she reviewed for a long time, and the more she reviewed, the more she felt that she was unbearable. But things must be reversed, and I really reviewed myself to death and had a rebellious mentality. Why should she, a person who has done nothing, bear such accusations, while the person who accuses her is at large?
She didn't care, but acted a lot more generously.
Lin Shengjie thought about it and drove behind Zhu Xiaolan, he really didn't believe that Zhu Xiaolan could ignore him. Zhu Xiaolan glanced back from the corner of her eyes and saw Lin Shengjie's tattered van walking and stopping on the side of the road, Zhu Xiaolan smiled sullenly and quickly lowered her head. She hurriedly ran two steps onto the bus stop, .1
Lin Shengjie slowly approached the platform and said, "Xiaolan, come up and give you a ride." Zhu Xiaolan smiled. Said: "No need, the car is coming." With that, he stepped over the crowd and ran to the bus. She squeezed hard against the window of the bus. Looking at Lin Shengjie in the cab, he shook his head helplessly and started the van. Zhu Xiaolan felt a little relieved, and then turned her head to look at the buildings on both sides of the street.
Lin Shengjie drove the car to the outside of Zhu Xiaolan's community and waited. He smoked a cigarette as he thought about what the director had said. It would be false to say that there is no less heartache in the heart. He also kept wondering why the director thought he was suitable for Zhu Xiaolan? He was too worldly and practical, and Zhu Xiaolan was too drifting. It would be a disaster for two people to come together. But after this incident, he thought about it deeply, but he somewhat understood what the director meant. He is realistic on the surface, but in fact, he has unrealistic ideas in his heart, because he is disappointed in reality, so he simply makes himself look worldly, he is an undetermined person, but Zhu Xiaolan is different, she looks vain, but in her heart is no more firm, in her he sees his own weakness, and because he is not convinced, he wants to become a person who does not let her look down on.
Lin Shengjie dropped a cigarette butt and took out another one to light it. The bus was too slow after work, and he couldn't wait to show Zhu Xiaolan his thoughts.
Originally, he did not rule out continuing to contact Zhu Xiaolan after meeting her for the first time, and the original plan was to clarify the relationship between the two after the project was completed, but he did not control it well. Zhu Xiaolan got off the bus and bought ingredients for cooking at night when she passed by the vegetable market.
Lin Shengjie got out of the car and closed the door and walked over to Zhu Xiaolan. Zhu Xiaolan looked a little frightened, but she didn't expect him to come over. She stood still, unable to move.
Lin Shengjie looked at this path, because it led to the vegetable market, there were some rotten vegetable leaves piled up on the side of the road, but fortunately, the weather was cold and there was no smell. He frowned, it was a little strange in such an environment, right? He hesitated as he stepped forward and said, "Xiaolan, can you listen to me this time?"
Zhu Xiaolan was a little vigilant and said, "Lin Gong, there's nothing to say, right? We've already talked about everything at work this afternoon!"
Lin Shengjie shook his head, looked at the dishes she was carrying, and said, "It's better to ......"
Zhu Xiaolan hurriedly said: "Okay, in fact, I don't blame you much. Because I think what you say is quite right, I want to restrain my behavior and not mislead people like you said. ”
Lin Shengjie had a headache, this was really the result he didn't want to see.
Zhou Yu saw Zhu Xiaolan standing on the side of the road talking to a man from afar, this is a strange thing. She quickened her pace and patted Zhu Xiaolan's shoulder with a smile, "Why are you standing here?" she looked at Lin Shengjie curiously, "Your friend?"
Zhu Xiaolan looked at Zhou Yu and said, "This is a forest worker!"
Zhou Yu thought of the legendary man who made Zhu Xiaolan sit still, and she looked straight over. Very good, very clean, slightly dark skin, but well cared for, no greasy acne and other problems that she hated, good smile, very kind, this impression of the score is considered a pass, Zhou Yu thought in her heart. Lin Shengjie generously stretched out his hand and said, "I'm Lin Shengjie, you are Xiaolan's good friend Zhou Yu, right? I finally saw it this time!"
Zhou Yu smiled, a very generous person, plus it is very good.
"Let's go. It's rare to meet it, let's go to the house for dinner!" Zhou Yu saw Zhu Xiaolan's face and knew that she was sick again. Lin Shengjie looked good-natured, she should do a good deed to connect the two of them.
Of course, Lin Shengjie couldn't ask for it, and he smiled and didn't refuse. Zhu Xiaolan was about to open her mouth when she was interrupted by Zhou Yu. Zhu Xiaolan was reluctantly dragged away by Zhou Yu while listening to her and Lin Shengjie's vast conversations. Zhou Yu is familiar with anyone. She couldn't catch up with the horse.
As soon as she got home, Zhu Xiaolan was pushed into the kitchen by Zhou Yu to cook, and while she was picking vegetables, she occasionally heard Zhou Yudi's voice mentioning her name, and she wanted to rush out to listen.
Zhou Yu asked Lin Shengjie to sit on the sofa, poured a cup of tea, and then sat opposite Lin Shengjie with a smile, and said, "I have long wanted to make an appointment to meet you, but now I finally see it." ”
Lin Shengjie saw that this woman moved freely and had almost complete control over Zhu Xiaolan, so he didn't dare to underestimate her. The woman smiled too brightly. Too perfect, on the other hand, too hypocritical. It's not terrible for women who mix in the workplace to be unable to control their temper. The scary thing is to always smile, always be gentle, and know how to be coquettish at the right time. He subconsciously tightened the strings in his head, and the tension in his body increased.
Zhou Yu glanced at Lin Shengjie. "Are you Director Chen's relative?"
"Not really. My mother and her are our own family!" Lin Shengjie replied cautiously, he suddenly had a feeling that if he didn't convince this woman, he might never be able to contact Zhu Xiaolan again.
Zhou Yu nodded. took a sip of water and said: "Some time ago, she said that the director introduced an object, I was still strange, how could I suddenly go on a blind date, it turns out that there is such a relationship!" Zhou Yu thought in his heart that it was another matter, Zhu Xiaolan gained a foothold in the design institute, on the one hand, her own ability is more important or the director's attention, if you offend the relationship with the director because of this matter, it will greatly outweigh the loss. She thought for a while and said, "Xiaolan came back and cried a few times a few days ago, which was a little worrying. ”
Lin Shengjie's heart shrank, knowing that the topic was coming, he didn't want to tell outsiders about these things, looked in the direction of the kitchen, and happened to see Zhu Xiaolan coming out of the kitchen door, her sleeves rolled up to her arms, revealing a snow-white section, she said to Zhou Yu: "Don't talk about my affairs!"
Zhou Yu hurriedly pushed her back, but said in his mouth: "I'm gossiping with Lin Gong, don't interject." ”
Lin Shengjie touched his forehead, thinking about how to speak, Zhou Yu sat back, and said, "Our Xiaolan is really virtuous, I eat ready-made meals every day when I come back." I always told my former classmates that it would be a blessing if anyone could marry her, don't talk about it, those people who were interested in her in college always asked me about Little Brandy. Speaking of this, he stopped for a while, and saw that Lin Shengjie's face was normal, so he didn't say any more.
Lin Shengjie nodded and said, "She's fine!"
Zhou Yu scolded in his heart, since he knew that she was very good, why didn't he know how to be smooth and quickly admit his mistake.
"I'm here to apologize to Xiaolan today!" Lin Shengjie looked at Zhou Yu, as soon as he said this, Zhou Yu seemed to be a little satisfied, and Lin Shengjie said tentatively, "There are other things to talk to her about." ”
Zhou Yu's eyebrows raised slightly, and then he relented: "That's why I told those people, Xiaolan is looking at each other!"
Lin Shengjie's heart moved, he and Zhu Xiaolan had never picked out who they were talking about, why did Zhou Yu say that this time?
"Personally, I've heard Xiaolan talk about you, and I think it's quite appropriate. Zhou Yu smiled at Lin Shengjie, "You were angry that day, was it because of that woman?"
Lin Shengjie had a kind of embarrassment of being seen through, this woman was still the kind he was most reluctant to contact on weekdays, her face was a little ugly, slightly red, she didn't want to nod or shake her head, and said, "I will talk to Xiaolan about this matter." ”
Zhou Yu was also inconvenient to push too hard, after all, the two were still in an ambiguous period, she got up and said, "You watch TV, I'll help cook!"
Lin Shengjie relaxed his body and leaned slightly on the soft sofa, feeling that it was more difficult to talk to this woman than to negotiate with Party A on the construction site. He casually picked up the remote control and turned on the TV, chose a random station, looked at the colorful patterns in his eyes, but thought about Zhu Xiaolan's shy smile every time she lowered her head.
He listened to the sound of the oil pan in the kitchen, his mood was turbulent, and he had an irrepressible feeling as if he was about to erupt. He got up and went to the balcony on the side of the living room to smoke a cigarette, when the slight wind blew and slowly opened the door to a bedroom, and he squinted and saw a very plainly furnished double bed. Lin Shengjie touched his hair, such a style must be Zhu Xiaolan's room. He felt the pleasure of stealing someone's privacy, his face turned red, and he was even more uncomfortable, so he had to walk back to the sofa and sit.
When the meal was served, Zhu Xiaolan's face also improved a little. Zhou Yu and Lin Shengjie had a tacit understanding, and the two of them sang and said something, which also made Zhu Xiaolan smile a few times. Lin Shengjie's heart was a little calmer.
