23.Chapter V
Qin Han happened to pass by near Chen Qing's house, thinking that he hadn't seen her for a while, so he went to a nearby cake shop to buy her favorite sweets, planning to meet her, and by the way, to see if her idea of leaving the company had been dispelled, how could he have met someone he never dreamed of.
"What's going on with you and He Junyan?"
Chen Qing cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and he followed behind her, persistently asking.
She was shy, her eyebrows lowered: "As far as you can see, he came to dinner, and we had an argument and broke up unhappily." ”
"Eat?"
Well, the sound should be over him, the water flowing slowly under the faucet, she carefully scrubbed the dishes with a dish towel, and didn't want to say anything else.
Qin Han stood behind her for a while, silent.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, she wiped her hands on her apron, took them off and hung them, and beckoned him: "Go to the living room." ”
Chen lightly poured two glasses of water, handed them to Qin Han, and sat down separately.
"I was going to come up and talk to you." He said, "I didn't handle the matter of you and Meng Jing's birthday banquet last time, I only cared about keeping you, and didn't take into account your mood......
She smiled, "It's okay, I'm fine now." ”
"So what do you think now, you still want to leave the company?"
At the mention of this question, she hooked her lips and lowered her eyes without speaking. The meaning is self-evident, I still want to go.
Qin Han didn't understand: "Meng Jing's cooperation will expire soon, isn't it a problem for him, weren't we very good before?" ”
"It was before, and now it is now." Chen Qing looked at him and sighed, "It's different, Qin Han." ”
"What's the difference?"
He wanted to ask why, and he looked like a child holding a toy in his arms and refusing to let go.
Chen Qing put down the cup, his expression was light, and there was another kind of stubbornness in his tone.
"You give it for free, I can't ask for it. You've given me enough, can't you do it because of that little guilt, and you're going to be responsible for my life for the next few decades? It's not necessary, it's just a little prank, why do you take so much responsibility on yourself? I've said it many times, with or without that prank of yours, my life was like that all those years, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
Qin Han really wanted to say that he was willing to be responsible, for decades, even for a lifetime. But he knew she wouldn't. She's always trying to maintain the boundaries between them, like when she was in college, every time he asks for dinner, she'll come back the next time.
It's like......
If her fingers can't be repaid, she will gamble to return him a company.
"You have to be so clear with me?" He had a hard throat.
She laughed, "Then why do you have to make me owe you?" You know I don't want to. Too tired, I don't want to. ”
He was suddenly speechless, obviously he didn't force her, he didn't want her to always apologize and keep her head down, but he still invisibly put pressure on her.
In the final analysis, even though they have known each other for so many years and walked side by side all the way, he still hasn't entered her heart.
Thinking of this, as if sitting on pins and needles, Qin Han stood up suddenly, attracting her incomprehensible gaze.
"What's wrong?"
She has a lot of concern in her eyes, but he knows that those are limited, and all her good things to him are on the premise of not exceeding the boundary, no more than no less, just right.
Qin Han struggled to hide the sense of desolation in his heart, especially when he thought that another person was here not long ago, they talked in the same room, ate at the same table, and the atmosphere was pleasant and joyful, better than a hundred times that of her and him now, he couldn't help but want to leave.
"It's not early, I should go back, if you're hungry at night, eat two doughnuts......" After a pause, he changed his words and said in a low voice, "He's a different person, think about yourself more, don't get into everything." ”
After saying that, he strode away, he walked as fast as he could, as if he was running away, leaving Chen Qing, who had followed him and wanted to send him to the door, far behind.
In the ten days after He Junyan and Qin Han met, Chen lightly cut seven pieces of clothes and changed all the messy clothes into long skirts.
Every day with needlework, three meals to the point to roll up the sleeves to cook, except for the sound of the electric sewing machine sewing fabric, the whole home is quiet without the slightest sound, occasionally she mutters a few words to herself, more even herself is boring and boring.
On the eleventh day, Xu Huanhuan, who hadn't seen her for a long time, suddenly contacted her, and the phone was full of energy, full of vitality that she didn't have.
"Do you have an appointment for the evening?" Xu Huanhuan didn't wait for her to answer and said, "I'll pick you up at half past six, come out for dinner, and I'll introduce you to a few friends!" ”
Chen Qing didn't go out for a long time, his yang energy was insufficient, and his voice was weak: "I'm sorry Sister Huanhuan, I still won't go......"
"What else do you?"
"No, I just don't want to go out."
"What words!" Xu Huanhuan scolded her, "Can't you still trust me?" They are all people with heads and faces, like Qin Han's company, people can help casually...... Oh yes, you've got this done, right? Then it's good to come out and make friends, what do you say like a young girl who stays at home all day? ”
"I really ......" Chen Qing was about to explain, a phone call came in, took it away and saw that it was Ye Hang's number, she just wanted to avoid Xu Huanhuan's words, so she used this as an excuse and said, "I won't tell you yet, there is a very important number, I'll call you back later." ”
Xu Huanhuan didn't stop him, and hung up the phone after a few sentences, but he still didn't forget to eat outside the words.
Chen Qing answered Ye Hang's phone, he was very familiar, obviously he hadn't talked a few times, but he was very familiar with her, and invited her to a party in a suburban villa.
"Invite me?" She was inexplicable, "Why ......"
They don't seem to be ripe enough for this kind of process.
"Why do you care so much?" Ye Hang said, "Didn't you promise to have dinner with me, it's the same if you go to the villa and barbecue by yourself, the air view is better than the restaurant." It's not just you and me, there's a bunch of friends here, so you don't have to worry. ”
How could he not be worried, there are friends who are also his friends, she is a stranger to follow, embarrassment and discomfort are all trivial things, in case he hides bad intentions, surrounded by his people, wouldn't she even have to escape?
couldn't help but think about things in the bad way, she was silent for a long time.
"What? Are you afraid that I will harm you? Ye Hang was helpless, "So, you can't believe me, you can always trust Jun Yan, right?" He's going too, didn't you come to dinner with him last time, you can always trust him, right? I'll ask him to call you! ”
"Mr. Ye!" Chen hurriedly stopped him.
"What?"
"Don't bother Mr. He......," she sighed silently, "I'll go with you, but I'll come back when it's dark." ”
"It's dark?" He pondered, "Okay! It's still more than an hour before dinner, and it's just in time for lunch, and I'll send you back after dinner in the evening. I promise to take you back as much as I want, won't you? ”
“…… Well. She answered, reported the address to him before hanging up the phone, and went back to the room to change clothes.
Chen Qing was very nervous, there were only two people in the car, her and Ye Hang, even if he talked funny all the way to relieve her boredom, he couldn't eliminate the uneasiness in her heart.
Outside the business field, she is actually not good at socializing, she is very afraid of messing things up, especially when she thinks of meeting He Junyan soon, she is even more apprehensive.
In the past ten days, they have not spoken on the phone, sent a short message, or chatted on WeChat, and there has been no communication at all.
For He Junyan, who is superior to ordinary people in all aspects of his net worth ability, her resistance to his "joking behavior" seems to really displease him.
"What do you think of being so white?" Ye Hang looked at Chen Qing while driving, he didn't expect that just inviting her out to play, she would be nervous like this.
"Didn't think about anything." She smiled, the arc stiff and unnatural.
"Is it because I have a bad face that you're so scared? If I knew this, I would have brought Jun Yan with me, it would be better to have someone familiar with me, right? ”
Her eyes darkened, and she whispered, "...... Actually, it's not very familiar. ”
"What did you say?" Ye Hang didn't hear clearly.
"Nothing." She curled her lips and said casually, "I'm just a little worried that I won't fit in with your group of friends." ”
Ye Hang immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "What are you afraid of, our circle is easy to get along with, everyone plays happily, there are no messy things, besides, even if you really meet something, isn't there still me here?" ”
He had a heroic tone, which made Chen laugh lightly, and even his thoughts were a little lighter.
At eleven o'clock, I arrived at the villa that Ye Hang said, and I had to walk a short distance after getting out of the car.
Chen Qing asked: "Aren't most of you living in mid-levels villas, how can you come out to play and pick these places?" ”
"It's not the same. The house is for living, and this piece is surrounded by places to play. Ye Hang pointed to the left, "For example, there is an equestrian club over there, we usually make appointments to go horseback riding, and there is a golf course on the other side, there are a lot of things to play." ”
"And not everyone likes to live in a villa halfway up the mountain." He smiled, "My house is not on the mountain in the second ring road, and like Jun Yan, he also lives in an apartment by himself." ”
Chen lowered his head and smiled, but did not speak.
He said it simply and didn't matter, but whether he lived in the middle of the mountain or the second ring road, ordinary people like her would not dare to dream of it.
It may not be possible to achieve it in a lifetime.
After a few words, he had already walked to the door in a blink of an eye, the door was hidden, and Ye Hang unceremoniously pushed the door in. A group of people were having an open-air barbecue in the courtyard, and when they saw him coming, they greeted several people.
Chen Qing followed behind him, and in an instant he was surrounded by lively greetings.
"Hey, ...... this?" Someone noticed her.
It was a face that didn't appear at the dinner table last time, there was no malice in the question, and he raised his lips and smiled at her.
Ye Hang introduced: "My friend, Chen Qing! People are good, but they are a little shy, you must not bully others, otherwise I will not be finished with you! ”
"Where, what are you to us......
Chen Qing kept a smiling face, said hello one by one, and followed him to the courtyard.
Sure enough, as Ye Hang said, there are a lot of people, both men and women, all of whom are busy tossing, tossing skewers, throwing balls and playing cards, shaking all kinds of champagne and spraying each other......
They were playing energetically, and she only exchanged a few pleasantries, and she couldn't tell whether they were getting along well or not.
Ye Hang's personality is naturally good, and it didn't take long for him to be pulled away by the two girls, and before leaving, the other party joked: "Brother Ye will borrow us for a while, and I'll pay you back when I wait!" ”
Chen chuckled and waved his hand, signaling that it was okay. After walking around the yard, there was nothing interesting about it, so I turned back into the house.
The furniture in the house is all wooden, she can't tell what material it is, she just thinks the color looks very comfortable.
Looking around the living room, she saw a vinyl record player in the corner, and her eyes were immediately attracted.
This kind of thing that can usually only be seen on TV, Chen Qing saw it for the first time, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.
Ye Hang, who was dragged away, happened to come back to find her, and when he saw that she was interested in the record player, he said, "Do you want to try it?" ”
"Is that okay?" She was slightly pleasantly surprised.
He nodded, "Of course." ”
Chen Qing turned on the machine, carefully picked up the tonearm and put it on, and the stabbing sound made a few sounds, so frightened that she immediately took it down.
"I think it's better for me not to move......" she sighed, holding back the action of patting her chest, "This thing is expensive, isn't it?" ”
Before Ye Hang could speak, a male voice suddenly sounded behind him to answer for him.
"Of course it's expensive!"
The two of them were startled, and when they looked back, He Junyan had a cold face, standing around the corner and looking at them.
"You can't afford to lose if you sell it, if you break it, ......" These words were naturally said to Chen Qing, He Junyan's eyes were heavy, and he hooked his lips contemptuously, "You just stand there and sing to me for five years." ”
Chen Qing's face turned white, and then burned red, Ye Hang saw her embarrassed appearance, he couldn't bear it, and frowned and glared at He Junyan.
He is rarely so mean, so what kind of nerves is this?
