Mature men and women, a hearty ** will always make people feel happy.

However, when Shen Ran was half-lying on the sofa, hearing the soft sound of pots and spoons colliding in the kitchen, and smelling the faint fragrance of the food, there was a little emptiness in his heart that he didn't know where he was born.

The feeling of not being able to put it into practice.

Compared with Qin Muchuan, who can make her □□, she actually misses the big boy back then.

At least, he is simple and transparent, and he can see through it at a glance, unlike now, which is as unfathomable as the clouds and mountains and fog, seemingly affectionate, but in fact indifferent.

Shen Ran didn't know if he was playing with fire.

She squinted her eyes, remembering the dormitory that year, Qin Muchuan put the dress on her knees, blushed and lowered her eyes, and said, "You, you, you...... Cover a lid. ”

Shen Ran laughed, laughing so much that he was annoyed and angry, and deliberately said fiercely: "What are you laughing at?" I'm not kidding you. ”

"Oh." Shen Ran held his chin, and his feet shook in front of him, "What would you do if you weren't kidding?" ”

In fact, at that time, she didn't understand anything about teasing people, but when she met Qin Muchuan, she felt that she had become a goblin by life.

Qin Muchuan paused, and then pounced.

He held her in his arms, on the cramped single bed, they were drenched in sweat, but they never went further.

Qin Muchuan hugged her tightly, his fingers lingering in her abdomen, and patiently admonished her: "Shen Ran, don't stay alone with men in the future." ”

She pretended to be naïve and asked him, "Why?" ”

He bit her neck and said, "I'll eat you!" ”

……

Shen Ran was shaken awake, and he was still a little stunned.

Qin Muchuan stood in front of her: "It's time to eat." ”

She realized that after just a while, she actually fell asleep.

Maybe the past in the dream was too good, she actually stretched out her hand to him, motioning for him to pull herself up, Qin Muchuan stared at her for a while, and then, as she wished, stretched out her hand.

With great force, she was pulled straight into his arms.

His arms were generous, warm, and comfortable, Shen Ran put his arms around his neck and asked with a smile, "Do you want to carry me over?" ”

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and hugged her seriously, in a very ambiguous posture.

At the end, he politely asked, "Do you want to hold it and feed you?" ”

Shen Ran: ......

She felt a hint of danger in his questioning, and hurriedly jumped down and coughed, "No need. ”

Sit in the seat furthest from him.

Probably looking at the lack of dishes, Qin Muchuan made the original small fried pork and scrambled eggs with red pestles, and also made a bowl of mixed noodles, the golden noodles were sprinkled with finely minced meat and red red red pestles, sandwiched with a little green onion, which looked very delicious.

Shen Ran had nothing to say: "It looks good." ”

Qin Muchuan just smiled and handed her a pair of chopsticks.

The two of them ate and didn't talk much—that movement also starved them all.

After the meal, Shen Ran automatically washed the dishes spontaneously, she originally thought that Qin Muchuan would talk to her about the book, after all, there were too many details, as long as he remembered, as long as he paid attention, it was impossible not to find it.

But no, he didn't say anything about it as if he had lost his memory, and when she came back from washing the dishes, he had already turned on the computer, and then pointed to the drawings she handed in and talked to her.

Qin Muchuan at work is simply unapproachable, indifferent and indifferent.

He said: "Shen Ran, I remember what we talked about before, the theme of Chenxin Department Store is that it can be atmospheric, but it must not be cold and luxurious, and here, the colors are too rich, to be simple, the simpler the better." ”

Shen Ran was not convinced: "Wouldn't it be too cold if the color is so single, it doesn't matter if the supermarket is the supermarket, do you really want to be so simple in the department store?" ”

He looked at her with a cold expression: "Simplicity is coldness? Would you use warm colors? ”

Shen Ran: ......

Shen Ran was hit by him to the fullest, this man's unique insights into supermarket design made her feel very stressed.

She didn't dare to be pampered at all, not to mention, Qin Muchuan had no intention of spoiling her because the two had slept with her.

I slept and got up again at night, silently changing the drawings until midnight.

As soon as Qin Muchuan woke up, he saw her sitting in the living room. Perhaps for fear of disturbing him, she didn't turn on the light, and the glimmer of the computer screen reflected on her face, like a halo coated with a layer of horizontal paste.

Looking from the side, you can see her beautiful nose and focused eyes.

She is very beautiful, but what attracts him more than her beauty is her concentration.

Especially when she looked at him, she had made him think that it would be a lifetime.

Suddenly feeling a little cold on his back, Shen Ran turned around and saw Qin Muchuan.

I don't know when he woke up, and he was standing lazily by the door watching her.

"Woke you up?" She asked, somewhat apologetically.

The tone was very polite, and there was a little bit of caution, perhaps she herself was not aware of it.

Although they already have an intimate relationship, although she sometimes does some intimate actions, those are deliberately flattering rather than spontaneous emotions.

Subconsciously, she may still still think of him as a stranger, detached and a little defensive.

Qin Muchuan's expression did not change, he walked over and turned on the light in the living room and sat down beside her.

Glancing at the drawings above, he asked, "How long have you been up?" ”

The drawings she handed over were almost finished.

Shen Ran looked at the time and replied vaguely: "It's been a while." She showed him a few of the details after the reconstruction, "You see if this works, I set off this here with other colors, the corners of the part, it won't steal the show, and it doesn't look so monotonous." ”

Qin Muchuan looked at the renderings she made, she worked hard all night, and she still had gains, and what she made after finding the right feeling was very satisfying.

Understated luxury, simple beauty.

Fingers gently turned the mouse's wheel, and he suddenly asked, "Why did you change your line later?" ”

She studied before, but it didn't match design at all, and he still remembered her dream - to be a painter, if you can't do it, then be an illustrator or something.

In short, in her previous life plan, there has never been decoration design, especially supermarket design.

Shen Ran didn't seem to expect him to suddenly ask this, and was stunned before saying, "It's a coincidence." ”

"You like this?"

"I'm doing pretty well." She avoided the important and spoke with a little pride in her expression that was not offensive, "Before I met you, I thought I would do well in this business. ”

He simply adjusted his sitting posture and faced her, "What do you say?" ”

She smiled: "I was never afraid to compete with anyone for a job before, but after meeting you, I will be glad that you are not with me." ”

When she was still negotiating, she had already seen that if it weren't for her own limitations, the people in front of her would have far more understanding of supermarket design than those of them who took the professional path.

Qin Muchuan also laughed, put one hand on the back of the sofa chair, leaned forward slightly, and gently lifted her chin with the other hand: "Shen Ran......" He called her name, and for the first time after the reunion, she heard a little tenderness in it, "'Time' is you, right?" ”

His questions always came suddenly, and at the most unexpected time, Shen Ran paused and said, "Yes." ”

There is no denial.

Qin Muchuan smiled, his smile was a little cold: "'Time flies', it's me who is too dull. ”

Shen Ran also laughed, in fact, it was not that he was dull, but that at that time, he was really too simple.

He probably never thought that she would use the name "time" to incarnate a male netizen who was traveling with him to approach him. He didn't like online chatting very much, and he was quite decadent during that time, so he didn't pay much attention to her.

Until Shen Ran once asked him: "You also do shopping malls?" ”

He ignored her.

After that, the two gradually got acquainted with each other, and occasionally talked about something else, but the most talked about was work.

The reason why the 7-Eleven Retail Bible is especially remembered is that at that time, Qin Muchuan was poached by another mall, and he asked her opinion.

Shen Ran asked him, "What is your ultimate goal in this industry?" ”

Qin Muchuan said: "Be the store manager." ”

Shen Ran said: "The goal is too small. Qin Muchuan, don't underestimate yourself. ”

Then she introduced him to a few books, including this "7-Eleven Retail Bible", he was very busy with work, in order to let him not waste too much time, sometimes, Shen Ran would read the books introduced to him first, it was really good, and he would recommend it to him.

The "retail Bible" is actually quite chicken, but there are some contents in it, Shen Ran thinks it is still desirable, and when he told him, he jokingly mentioned: "You can only read the first half, and the second half can be ignored, because it is a strange old man who has been thinking about it, you can listen to it or not." ”

Qin Muchuan laughed at that time.

None of them expected that it was also this book that almost rewrote Qin Muchuan's fate, his eyes shifted from hypermarkets to small convenience stores, and even three years later, he pulled two partners, pressed all his net worth, resigned and opened a convenience store on his own.

One, two, three...... He has changed from a poor boy to a small boss, and by now, he is already a little famous, and he is the head of Chenxing Commerce.

Fate is sometimes so wonderful, thousands of miles away, she used another foreign name, another identity, accompanied him through his most difficult years, and then witnessed his success.

Qin Muchuan's thumb rubbed lightly and unconsciously against her chin, and his gaze was heavy, as if it were substance.

Then, she heard him ask, "Then why did you suddenly disappear again?" ”

Sure enough, he still asked this question, which was probably the biggest reason why Shen Ran was very reluctant for him to know that he was "time".

What should she say? said that the reason why she disappeared suddenly was because she knew that he had succeeded and made money, and she had forgotten about her and had another girlfriend, so she could finally retire?
