CHAPTER XLVI

"Going to the Soup and Fire" / Call me Meow

In my life, the most feared thing is not being able to meet someone who makes you have the urge to go to the soup.

Yao Qian didn't agree to eat with Chen Ziang, and Chen Ziang didn't mind. Every day at work, she still receives flowers from him. When I get off work, I will see him downstairs in my studio. He stood in front of his car, the neckline of his white shirt was slightly open, and the cuffs of his shirt were rolled up to the middle of his arms, simple and slightly sexy.

"Look, Chen Ziang is here again, it's been almost a week, right? Alas, guess who he was waiting for? Xiao Wang stood in front of the window with a cup of coffee, his eyes looking straight downstairs, and he did not shy away from it.

Sister Yan, who had just come back from copying the documents, also glanced carelessly downstairs and sat back in her place, "There are not many young girls in the studio, you can probably guess it." Coriander, you've been receiving flowers these days, Chen Ziang won't be the man who pursues you, right? ”

Sister Yan just said it casually, but Yao Qian was stunned, and the action of tapping on the keyboard in her hand was slightly sluggish. Chen Ziang is a person with a strong sense of time, and from the first day he appeared downstairs, he insisted on coming over five minutes before she got off work every day. Therefore, Yao Qian is the last to get off work these days, and then the last to leave the studio.

Xiao Wang turned around and glanced at Yao Qian lightly, and waved his hand, "Impossible, Ah Qian and Chen Ziang don't know each other, and when Chen Ziang and our studio cooperated in publishing at that time, didn't Ah Qian and him still have conflicts?" ”

The colleague with sharp ears hurried over, "I see, everything is possible, maybe Chen Ziang is chasing our coriander." ”

Xu Ruyun took a sip of water, nodded seriously, and only watched without speaking. There was no one in the entire office who knew the inside of the matter except her. The curtain is over.

Yao Qian glared at Xu Ruyun and said perfunctorily: "It is impossible for a young, handsome and wealthy man in this world to be interested in a divorced woman with children alone, even if there is, it is psychologically abnormal." ”

"I don't like to hear that." Sister Yan, like Yao Qian, is also a single mother, pulled the chair back, and continued to talk, "What's wrong with a divorced woman with children alone?" Why is there no man who likes it? Coriander, this is your own self-esteem, how good a woman like us is, she has experienced everything, and it is a great fortune in their lives for men to find us. ”

Xiao Wang echoed approvingly: "Yes, as a woman, if you don't even look down on yourself, how can a man look down on you." Coriander, you will get your own happiness, come on. ”

"Hmm." Yao Qian replied and no longer participated in their discussion. And the topic of discussion also shifted from Chen Ziang to feminism at once.

After work, Yao Qian, as usual, was not in a hurry, and finished the last bit of work without hurry. After her colleagues had left one by one, she packed her things and prepared to leave.

She went downstairs, and the man downstairs was still standing. Looking at her from afar, as she always did, she wanted to walk past him in defiance.

Chen Ziang didn't want her to leave this time, and reached out to grab her hand. The two were in a stalemate for a moment before he let go.

"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow." His voice was as light as ever, but it tugged at people's heartstrings.

Yao Qian's steps stopped, Chen Ziang looked at her back, his eyes were a little gloomy in an instant, and he coughed suppressedly, and the hoarseness in his voice could not be concealed, "This time I will go for a long time." ”

"Hmm." Yao Qian nodded and looked ahead.

Her attitude was still cold, Chen Ziang couldn't help frowning, and emphasized again: "I may not be able to come to C City for a long time." ”

Yao Qian was finally moved, and slowly turned around, his gaze fixed on her face, his gaze almost burning her. She has always had no resistance to him, and her heart has already been turbulent, but on the surface, she can only nod and respond vaguely, "Hmm." ”

"Can you have a meal with me, then?" There was tenderness in his hoarse voice.

She was silent and did not answer him.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, his face was slightly darkened, a trace of loss flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly coughed. His face turned pale and his cough seemed to be severe.

In memory, Chen Ziang's body was even weaker than her. Every once in a while, he has a cold and fever, and every time he doesn't care about it, every time he needs her to coax her to take injections and medicine. Come to think of it, sometimes, he is really like a child and needs to be taken care of.

Is he sick?

Yao Qian spoke slowly, asking cautiously, "Are you okay?" ”

Finally stopped coughing, Chen Ziang's face softened, looked deeply into her eyes, and whispered, "It's a cold, it's serious." ”

"You..."Yao Qian thought that he would reply, 'I'm fine', 'don't worry', or 'just catch a cold', but he replied so confidently, it was a bit like he was coquettish.

"You should see a doctor." It took a long time to say such a sentence.

"I went, but the doctor wouldn't let me come out." Chen Ziang smiled slightly bitterly, his tone was quite helpless, and he explained unhurriedly: "I ran out, tomorrow morning's plane." I miss you so much, I want to see you. ”

Chen Ziang wrinkled his brows and looked at Yao Qian motionlessly, his eyes burning like fireworks. He didn't know that under Yao Qian's calm face, that heart had already accelerated uncontrollably. She stared at the familiar person as if she were looking at a stranger.

He never talks to her, and it's hard to say anything that is a little numb. His words of 'I miss you so much' just now were enough to make her lose her soul.

"I want to invite you to dinner, can you not refuse?" Chen Ziang raised his hand and glanced at his watch, his face was faintly tired, and his eyes were gentle and affectionate.

He looked at her like that, so that she couldn't move, almost making her heart melt into his entangled gaze.

He opened the door and pulled out a bouquet of roses from his seat, still purple. handed it to her and said in a low voice, "Just this time, I won't force you again." ”

After standing relatively wordless for a long time, Yao Qian suddenly nodded, "Hmm." ”

"It seems that you really wish you had nothing to do with me." Chen Ziang looked at her, his eyes were uncertain, but his tone was very low, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile.

Yao Qian was slightly stunned, he didn't look very good. It was as if a gust of wind could take him away. His face was pale, which made people worry about him. Yao Qian couldn't bear it a little, and she wanted to stop talking. He seemed to be able to see her struggling heart, and quickly swept away the loss on his face, and said softly but firmly, "But I'm happy." ”

With bright eyes and bright teeth, the way he laughs is as exciting as ever. Yao Qian's heart was shocked, and she panicked, "Let's go." ”

"Okay." He nodded and let her into the car.

They went to the kindergarten to pick up Zigui first, and the little girl was in a very good mood when she saw Chen Ziang. Sitting in the car, chattering non-stop. Mention every child and every teacher in the kindergarten.

The car drove slowly forward on the road, and Chen Ziang occasionally looked at the mother and daughter in the back seat through the rearview mirror of the car, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised. When Yao Qian looked over, he was nodding his head lightly in response to Zigui. The eyes of the two people met in a small mirror, and the expressions on his faces kept changing.

"Mom, tell Uncle Supermarket, did I get a little red flower yesterday?"

Zigui's smug voice sounded in the car, and only then did the two of them pull their thoughts back, Yao Qian took the lead in looking away, and Chen Ziang's gaze swept over her lowered face intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yes, the sub-rules are great." Her voice was as gentle as she was at the moment.

Chen Ziang slowly parked the car in the parking space of the restaurant and neatly unfastened the seat belt.

He turned his head to the person behind him and said, "Is it okay to eat here?" ”

Yao Qian pretended to be calm and looked down at her daughter, "Yes." ”

As soon as they walked into the restaurant, a waiter came out to entertain them, and looked at the two adults holding a child, and took it for granted that they were a family, "Sir, madam, is the family out for dinner?" What do you need? ”

"We're not..."

Yao Qian opened her mouth to explain, but was interrupted by Chen Ziang, "We have booked a place, please take us over." ”

"Okay." The waiter checked his information and led them to their intended location.

Chen Ziang met her puzzled gaze, bent down to pick up Zigui with an unchanged expression, and said softly, "Let's go over." ”

He strode forward, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Chen Ziang took the menu, didn't raise his eyebrows, and reported the name of the dish, "Chopped pepper fish head, Dong'anzi chicken, squirrel osmanthus fish, a green vegetable, and a rock sugar Xianglian." ”

Every dish he ordered was something she liked to eat. He can't eat spicy, and she is very good at spicy. When the two of them eat, they always follow her taste. After all these years, he still remembers it so clearly.

When Yao Qian was stunned, the waiter had already quickly written down the name of the dish, "Sir, what else do you need?" ”

Chen Ziang handed the menu to Yao Qian on the opposite side and asked softly, "Ah Qian, what else do you want to eat?" ”

Now he seems to be Chen Ziang when he was in love with her. Gentle, calm, accustomed to taking care of her. Yao Qian was very irritable in her heart, and took a sip of tea, "No need." ”

Chen Ziang's appetite didn't seem to be very good, so he simply tasted each dish and put down his chopsticks. He kept drinking tea, and then quietly looked at the mother and daughter.

I can always feel his gaze, Yao Qian didn't eat very well, and she was full after barely eating a bowl of rice. Zigui is still young, and when he eats, he likes to eat a bite of food and talk for a while, and he eats very slowly.

Yao Qian went to the bathroom, Zigui took a few sips of a bowl of Xianglian, glanced at Chen Ziang's clean rice bowl, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, are you full?" ”

Chen Ziang put down the teacup in his hand and replied, "Uncle can't eat, are you full of that Zigui?" ”

Zigui nodded, indicating that he had eaten enough, and then solemnly said to Chen Ziang: "Uncle, the teacher said that you need to eat more to grow up, and if you don't eat, you won't grow up." ”

Chen Ziang smiled slightly, "Really? ”

"Well, do you want a sip from your uncle? It's delicious. As he spoke, he brought the Xianglian he had just drunk.

Chen Ziang glanced down at the Xianglian in the soup bowl, and then looked at Zigui who had been looking at him with wide eyes, and picked up the bowl to drink the sweet and greasy Xianglian.

Zigui was very satisfied, and pointed to the plate of chopped pepper fish heads, "Uncle, this is also delicious." ”

The spicy fish head, coupled with the sweetness of Xianglian, stimulates Chen Ziang's palate. He resisted the urge to gag several times, and insisted on sending Yao Qian and Zigui back to the apartment. 166 Reading Network
