Chapter 16: Peach Blossoms Outside Takeku
Jiang Yan looked at her blank look and felt very interesting, and wanted to let her continue to be suspicious like this, but then took the initiative to explain, "I believe that I have read the resumes of each of you, and understanding the information of employees is a necessary ability for HR." “
Xia Qixi was easily fooled by Jiang Yan's seemingly high-sounding rhetoric, and I am afraid that only Jiang Yan himself knows, even if he has time, he does not have the heart to call up the resumes of so many employees under him and then read them carefully.
However, Xia Qixi's situation, he really studied it carefully from front to back.
The curiosity he used on Xia Qixi was unbelievable and unspeakable even to him if he thought about it.
In the small space in the car, two people sat side by side, and Xia Qixi could clearly smell the special smell that belonged to Jiang Yan. Whether it is the unique wise smell of men, or a certain men's perfume, Xia Qixi has no way to judge, but this is a smell that makes her feel at ease and her flustered heart can calm down.
In fact, Xia Qixi especially doesn't like to be alone with the leader, whether it is during work hours or in private. She is not good at flattery and is not clever enough, and she always can't cope with the conversation with the leader.
There have been a few times in the past when I went out with Lin Qiao because of work, and every time Xia Qixi was embarrassed, I couldn't wait to become invisible. It just so happened that Lin Qiao was a person who was used to talking about work, and he was even more brilliant in interpersonal communication with a mouth, Xia Qixi's clumsy tongue could only be silent in front of her.
When she first got in the car, Xia Qixi was still very unnatural, she thought that Jiang Yan would be like Lin Qiao, so as soon as she got in the car, she had quietly calculated the response plan in her heart, just waiting for him to ask questions.
But Jiang Yan just drove the car intently, occasionally asking if Xia Qixi was taking the correct route, and until he went downstairs in the community where Xia Qixi lived, he didn't have anything to do with work in advance.
The car stopped, and the stones that had been pressed on Xia Qixi's chest all the way finally fell to the ground.
Before Xia Qixi got out of the car, she thanked Jiang Yan very sincerely, and only answered her with an understatement. It was useless to say more, Xia Qixi stood in place and watched the taillights of the BMW disappear from sight, before turning around and walking towards the unit building where he lived.
The shoe on her left foot was a drag when she walked, and she could barely support the weight of her body on tiptoe every time, and from noon to now, her left foot was a little numb from pain.
Anyway, the lights in the community are dim, and there are few pedestrians, Xia Qixi simply bent down and took off both shoes, and put them in his hands.
She was self-absorbed in the scene at this moment, when suddenly a figure appeared in front of her, blocking her way. A few days ago, I was looking at a notice posted at the door of the community, saying that there had been a robbery incident in the previous section of the community, so we should pay attention to it.
Xia Qixi looked down at the ground in fear, desperately recalling what he had seen on TV before, what to do if he was robbed, but heard a familiar voice sounding overhead.
"Why did you take your shoes off and put them on your hands?"
Xia Qixi looked up and took a closer look, the tall figure was really Chen Ziyu, so he raised his hand and patted his chest, and took a deep breath, fortunately he was not robbed, but this person is not good at staying in his own house at night, why did he appear downstairs in her house, causing her to be so frightened.
"Why are you here?" Xia Qixi didn't answer the rhetorical question, and his tone was not very friendly.
"It's not that you don't answer the phone, you think I'm willing to come out...... Look at you like this. As soon as Chen Ziyu spoke, his eyes kept staring at Xia Qixi's bare feet.
After saying that, he examined Xia Qixi from head to toe, he really couldn't figure out which tendon this woman was wrong to make herself look like this, but he had been watching silently in the corner just now, and she seemed to be enjoying it.
"Did you call me?" Xia Qixi said and flipped out the phone from his bag, and sure enough, it was automatically turned off because of the lack of power. The phone had been used for 3 years and had been bought by her first month's salary.
The non-durability of the battery is one of the many problems now, Xia Qixi has also considered replacing it, but buying a new phone is not a small expense, not to mention the increasing pressure on renting a house, plus its significance, it will always be.
Xia Qixi helplessly stuffed the phone back into her bag, "I'm sorry, the phone is out of battery, what are you looking for me?"
"My mother wants you to go to our house for dinner after work, forcing me to call you, but it has been turned off, and the old man is not at ease, so he ordered me to come and take a look. Chen Ziyu wore a black tracksuit, and his hands were casually in his pockets.
Xia Qixi really wanted to ask Chen Ziyu if there was any hidden secret, such as some kind of illness, otherwise why would her parents be so anxious about her marriage. But this idea is only limited to thinking about it in her heart, Xia Qixi has already learned Chen Ziyu's poisonous snake, if she dares to ask at this moment, the person in front of her will definitely not let her go.
"Thank you, people have already seen it, safe and sound, you can go back and pay the errand. Xia Qixi had an angry little daughter-in-law tone.
"Are you safe and sound now?" Chen Ziyu's voice was full of laughter.
Xia Qixi was silent, Chen Ziyu was his enemy in his previous life, otherwise why would he make fun of her every time they met. What's more, she herself is still so uncompromising, and this appearance was bumped into by him.
She is a powerless little woman, she can't beat and can't say, she can only suffer, so she obediently confesses.
Chen Ziyu listened quietly, and after a while, he said three words.
"Stupid woman. ”
Then he bent over, and before Xia Qixi could react, the whole person was already stopped and picked up.
With her feet in the air, Xia Qixi was dizzy, and then reacted quickly, struggling to let Chen Ziyu put her down, but the more she struggled, the harder Chen Ziyu's hands worked, and hugged her tighter.
Occasionally, one or two people walked by, all smiling and casting meaningful glances.
This may be an extremely romantic thing in anyone's eyes, but in Xia Qixi, he feels that it is a shameful thing, especially in front of Chen Ziyu.
Since he couldn't struggle, he could only whisper and plead, "You put me down first, what will it look like to be seen." ”
Chen Ziyu automatically blocked her pleas and carried her into the unit building.
Chen Ziyu held her with both hands, and Xia Qixi could only take the initiative to reach out and press the elevator. The elevator door closed, and the noise outside was cut off in an instant, and the whole air was quiet.
To be honest, this posture is not much more comfortable than walking barefoot on the road, Xia Qixi didn't want to get too close to him, so he tried to keep a distance from his chest, but even so, Xia Qixi still heard Chen Ziyu's strong heartbeat.
Even, the sound of his slightly heavy breathing.
There were no mirrors in the elevator, and she couldn't see her embarrassed appearance at the moment, but she could clearly feel her cheeks burning.
It was Xia Qixi's mother who opened the door, and when she saw the two people who appeared at the door in such a posture, she was speechless in shock, and finally forgot to close the door.
"I'm sorry Auntie, I'm still bothering you so late, Xiaoxi is careful that she breaks her foot, and it is inconvenient to move. Chen Ziyu looked at Xia's mother and said seriously.
"This girl, she is such a big person and so careless. Although Xia's mother said this, her heart was already happy.
Xia's mother really thinks at the moment that her efforts have not been in vain, and her stupid daughter has finally opened her mind. After all, this was the first time a boy had come to the house. Looking at their ambiguous appearance today, she can finally take the old man back to her hometown with peace of mind and wait to become her mother-in-law.
Chen Ziyu hugged Xia Qixi and walked towards her bedroom, and Xia's mother closed the door and went back to her room directly.
Xia Qixi poked her head out of Chen Ziyu's arms, looked at her mother's actions at the moment, and deeply expressed her guilt for disliking the Chen family's mother just now.
Her daughter, this is so bad!
Finally, Xia Qixi was placed on her bed safely, and before she could express her strong dissatisfaction in a hurry, she heard Chen Ziyu's sigh of relief over there.
"A girl is still so heavy. ”
She can be regarded as having a complete epiphany, on the road of unreasonableness, in front of Chen Ziyu, she can only look at it.
Obviously, he took the initiative himself, and even said that he forced her to go upstairs. Obviously, she should be the one who was wronged, why did Chen Ziyu beat her upside down.
Xia Qixi didn't bother to argue with him, she insisted all afternoon, and at this moment she felt a hot stinging pain in the toe of her left foot, she followed the bright light in the room, and looked down to see that the sole of her left foot was blistered, and the blisters on her little toe had burst, and there was some flesh and blood.
"It seems that it needs to be disinfected first, is there any medicine at home?" Chen Ziyu stood on the side of the bed and leaned over to check Xia Qixi's injury.
It's not that she thinks she's stupid, or that she's heavy, and now she cares about something. Since he cared about her, the more he didn't appreciate it, and the more he wanted to show that it didn't matter.
So he pretended to be relaxed and said, "It's just a mutual use of the agreement, you don't have to act so seriously, not to mention that your parents are not on the scene." ”
Xia Qixi thought that Chen Ziyu would be annoyed, but she didn't want Chen Ziyu to just have a slightly stagnant expression on her face, and then she returned to the appearance of a hippie smile.
"Acting, it's both for the audience and for yourself, you can't starve yourself to death just to satisfy the audience. "There was a wicked smile on his face,
"We said okay, we only pretend to be a couple in front of our parents, we can't ...... ,”
"What if you can't do it?" Chen Ziyu completed the unfinished words of Xia Qixi.
In fact, Xia Qixi wanted to say that there should be no physical contact, and thinking of being held by her just now, she could only swallow back the words that came to her mouth.
"Isn't it okay to do this?" Chen Ziyu said and took two steps forward, leaned down, propped his hands on the bed behind Xia Qixi, looked at each other, and his warm breath hit her face.
Such a close-up face, bottomless eyes, and at the moment her face was a little itchy from that breath. She even felt her heart beat violently for a moment, as if it was about to burst out of her chest.
