9. Chapter 9
I don't know when it rained outside, and the raging rain stopped, and many guests who were trapped and inconvenient to go back got up to pay. If you don't leave at this time, I'm afraid that the rain will get heavy again.
Chen Qing and He Junyan sat bored, and after enough gossip, they also decided to go back.
The ground was wet by the rain, slightly slippery, and when he went out, Chen Qing followed behind He Junyan, and after going down the low stairs, he didn't pay attention to the soles of his feet and didn't step on them steadily, and fell to the ground with a "bang" after exclaiming.
As soon as He Junyan turned around, he saw her lying on her side on the ground, her whole face wrinkled in pain.
ββ¦β¦β
Without saying a word, he turned back, stood condescendingly at her for a second, and picked the least embarrassing place to startβhe grabbed her shoulders and pulled her up with a hard pull.
Chen Qing couldn't help but cry out in pain, "Slow down, slow down......!" β
One side of the coat was stained with muddy water, and it was all dirty, but what was more of a headache was her feet, which might be a little bent and a little painful to move.
He Junyan paused, not because he was considerate, but suddenly felt that this scene was a little impressive.
"Have we seen ......?"
As soon as he spoke, the moment the words fell, he felt her body stiffen suddenly.
Chen Qing forgot to cry out for pain, the blood accelerated to the top of his head, and his breathing was a little tight.
The shoulder was in his palm, and the twisted foot didn't dare to exert force, she struggled to stand, and her voice slowly squeezed out of her throat, "You ......"
"Last time in Huilong, you recklessly bumped into ......" The posture of the two falls was the same, and he successfully made him match the number, "Could it be that this is your specialty?" β
Chen Qing was originally hanging in his heart, but when he heard him say this, he relaxed for a moment, but at the same time he was relieved and a little lost indescribably.
"I didn't mean to." Not in the mood to cooperate with him to laugh, she said sorry, and stopped saying a word.
He Junyan stared at her drooping eyes for two seconds.
ββ¦β¦ Let's go. β
He didn't like to have too much physical contact with others, but she couldn't walk, the ground was slippery, one foot was lame, and maybe she would fall again......
Frowning, he let go of the hand that was pinching her shoulder and instead held it under her wrist.
Holding back his discomfort, he borrowed his strength from her, half-helped and half-moped her into the car.
Chen Qing sat in the passenger seat, his coat was wet, he didn't dare to touch the back of the car, he didn't even fasten his seat belt, and he straightened up to maintain a tired posture.
He Junyan saw the corner of his eye, didn't speak, and turned his gaze back to stare ahead.
"The car will be sent for washing tomorrow."
After a long time, he suddenly moved his throat and threw out such a sentence.
Chen Qing couldn't react at first, and said "um" in confusion, and then realized, "The car will be sent to wash tomorrow", which means that she "can rely on it casually", and it doesn't matter if it gets dirty.
And he didn't look at her, he looked straight out of the windshield, looking casual and senseless.
Chen Qingyin looked at him for a while, relaxed his shoulders, and slowly leaned back in the back of the car seat. The muddy water soaked into the coat, the bottom coat was not too thick, and the waist could already feel the feeling of wetness and coolness, which was very uncomfortable.
But my heart is warm.
After the episode, He Junyan didn't speak again, and focused on driving all the way, and in the small space, there was silence and quiet.
Chen Qing suddenly felt that this atmosphere didn't seem to be so embarrassing.
β¦β¦
Because she twisted her foot, He Junyan drove the car into the underground garage, and she lived in that building, which saved a lot of trouble.
Her feet are not a big deal, she can still walk when she slows down, she can still walk slowly, he helped her before getting into the car, but at this time it is not good to ask people to get out of the car for herself.
Chen Qing thanked He Junyan, and before closing the car door, his eyes swept over the handbag placed in the back seat, with a slight sense of regret.
I don't know if there will be a chance to ask him out again like this.
Xiaobu moved to the elevator, waited for more than ten seconds, the door opened with a "ding", Chen Qing entered, turned around, and found that He Junyan's car was still parked there and did not drive away.
She opened her eyes and forgot to even press the floor.
The dark windows were cut off, but she seemed to see through that layer a clear look at the person inside.
Every facial feature, all the subtle expressions, is incomparably clear.
Trying to rush out, ignoring the injured and clumsy foot, he took a big stride and threw him down on the saddle and hugged him tightly. I wanted to touch his skin, kiss his chin, bite his lip very hard, and feel his breath so close......
In Chen Qing's imagination, she had already done this qiΔ.
But in fact, she just stood in the elevator, standing still and motionless.
The car drove backwards, poured out little by little, and the moment the elevator door closed, it opened out of sight.
The investment matter was discussed very successfully, and on the day of the event, Qin Han contacted Chen Qing to talk about it, and she was happy to accompany her, and received a call from Meng Jing within two minutes.
"That incident won't happen again last time, and your company will take it as compensation from me." Meng Jing was still so neat, and as soon as he connected it, he got straight to the point, "There is a dinner in the evening, you go with me." β
"Me?" Chen Qing was still digesting his previous sentence, and when he heard the latter sentence, he was immediately stunned, "Why should I accompany you to ......?" β
"Is it enough that I am now your rich man, and I am rich?" He doesn't talk nonsense, "Arrive in an hour, you're ready." β
Chen Qing didn't stop him, stared at his phone, wanted to call Qin Han to ask for specifics, but was afraid that he would be worried when he found out, so he sighed and had to accept the truth head-on.
An hour later, the car stopped downstairs at her house, and not only the driver and the car came, but Meng Jing was also sitting in the car.
Chen lightly picked out a set of conservative clothes to wear, and reluctantly moved to get into the car.
"You're a tortoise?" He raised an eyebrow, not very friendly.
She pursed her lips and didn't speak.
"Where are we going?" Halfway through, she asked, "Who are you going to eat with?" β
"I won't poison you anyway." Meng Jing glanced at her, "Where are there so many problems?" β
Chen Qing shut up, although he didn't dare to show it on his face, he was very dissatisfied with his bad attitude in his heart.
This person was still restrained before, only occasionally showing a contemptuous side, but now he has become the "thigh" of their company, and he is becoming more and more unscrupulous.
It's annoying.
The place to eat was booked in a hotel that looked very high-end, Chen Qing followed behind Meng Jing, and as soon as he entered the door, someone greeted them respectfully and led them to the box upstairs.
The guests arrived one after another, the tables were large, but there were not many people, plus the two of them, there were only six people seated in total.
Chen Qing naturally sat next to Meng Jing, and after a while, she had a headache, if she just ate, it was nothing, she was afraid of drinking, she was really afraid, these two words were already her dead end.
She approached Meng Jing and whispered to him, "Can I stop drinking?" My stomach doesn't work......"
Meng Jing glanced at her and said, "What it means, it's not good to save face." β
"Three?" That's her limit.
Hearing this, Meng Jing sneered lightly, "Are you kidding the child?" β
"I ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, Mr. Zhou stands up and holds your cup!" He withdrew his gaze and lowered his voice to warn.
Chen Qing raised his eyes and looked, and the person surnamed Zhou on the opposite side really stood up to toast, her face was pale, and her hands were stiff on her legs, as if she weighed a thousand pounds.
ββ¦β¦ Figure out who you are. Meng Jing's low warning came from the side.
She swallowed her throat, stiffened and picked up the cup, and when she heard Mr. Zhou's sentence "I respect Miss Chen for two more cups", her heart jumped, and she suddenly felt a sense of imminent death.
Under Meng Jing's cold eyes, Chen Qing and Mr. Zhou touched three glasses, this is not over, the other three also toasted one after another, and she drank more than ten glasses at once.
There was beer and red wine, and she couldn't tell the difference between tastes, and the tip of her nose and tongue were full of alcohol.
On the way, Meng Jing glanced at her sideways, and that look seemed to say, "You know what you can drink."
Chen Qing ignored him, didn't want to pay attention to him, put down the cup, swallowed unconsciously in his throat, a little stunned.
She didn't feel it at first, she was puzzled, and was picked up by Meng Jing next to her and asked her to continue drinking.
Driving the donkey to the shelf, she couldn't shake her face, she tried to squeeze out a smile, but no matter how she looked at it, it was like crying and mourning, and after sitting down, he taught her two lessons.
Chen Qing didn't say anything, not because she was unhappy, this time she really couldn't pay attention to him, her stomach was twisted, her forehead was oozing sweat, she pretended to sit calmly, and her hands had begun to tremble.
The stomach and the top of the stomach hurt together, like a wave coming one after another, very regular, the hand touched, the touch was slightly hard, she was very familiar with this feeling, a pain for at least two hours, every time.
"You ......" Meng Jing wanted to remind her not to sit stupidly, but when she saw her strange face, she stopped, "Are you really ......?" β
Chen Qing couldn't speak, she suddenly wanted to cry.
I decided early in the morning that I would never drink alcohol again, take care of my stomach, and live a healthy and active life, but I couldn't even do such a simple thing.
It's like the night I went out with He Junyan, because I didn't want to ruin the fun, I didn't even change my mind about struggling and planned to drink, even though I knew it would hurt my stomach.
Today, too, he should have simply told Qin Han to hand it over to him, or directly rejected Meng Jing sternly, but because he was afraid that Qin Han would be embarrassed and that Meng Jing would be displeased and offended, he once again gave up resistance and chose to accept it obediently.
Always.
She is always looking forward and timid, always wanting everything, and always embarrassing herself.
Holding back the surging tears, Chen Qing gritted his teeth tightly: "I'll go to the bathroom to make up for my makeup!" With that, he got up and ran out.
There was also a bathroom in the box, but it would take a while to get in, and she didn't want Meng Jing's guests to notice.
She didn't know if anyone was chasing after her, but she guessed that Meng Jing would not leave the object of the banquet to care about her life or death.
Chen was in a panic, the wine came up, and his cheeks were red. She smelled the alcohol on herself, but she didn't have that much to worry about, and her hands were in a hurry to rummage through her backpack.
I finally turned out the stomach medicine, but I didn't hold it firmly and rolled to the ground.
She quickly crouched down to pick it up. Her stomach ached, she gritted her teeth, her hands around her knees and her hands pinched hard, her fingertips almost piercing the fabric.
There was a crowd of footsteps in front of her, Chen Qing was occupied by the pain, and she didn't notice it for a while, until a gentle female voice sounded above her head, and she suddenly came back to her senses.
"Miss, are you alright?"
She caught a glimpse of the other party's skirt being the style of a hotel uniform, recognized it as a waiter, shook her head, and squeezed out a voice from between her teeth: "It's okay, it's just a stomachache...... Immediately ......"
As she spoke, Chen Qing reached for the medicine bottle, and the waiter picked it up before her, put it in her hand, and said with a little apology: "Then can you please get up?" You're in the way...... Excuse me. β
When I looked up, I saw that there was a group of men in formal clothes behind the waiter, and she was squatting in the middle of the aisle, just blocking the way of others.
Chen opened her mouth to say "yes", but before the syllables slipped out of her throat, she suddenly saw the leader of the group behind the waiter-
He Junyan.
He was looking at her with an extremely uncomfortable indifference, looking at her sweaty wolf bèi who was about to fall to the ground.
For no reason, Chen Qing suddenly felt a chill in his heart, cold to the bone.
