In order to avoid getting off work with Cheng Yuzheng, Wu Jue stood in her seat and hesitated slightly, and waited until he left the office completely before she hastily cleaned up and walked out.

It was the rush hour after work, walking out of the building and coming to the side of the road, there was a rush and congestion of traffic and people everywhere, and the afterglow of the setting sun passed through the high-rise buildings, hitting Wu Jue's body, wrapped in layers of dust and decadence, which made her suddenly feel an indescribable anxiety.

The overcrowded bus left her unattended, and none of the taxis coming and going stopped. She was suddenly a little at a loss, as if she vaguely understood that some things would probably always go beyond her expectations, as long as she was not careful, she would slide into the unknown road, as if she was ...... It was like a thrilling day.

In a trance, he stood on the side of the road and slid past a blue car in front of him. Before he could react, the window of the car had already fallen, and Cheng Yuzheng poked his head out of it slightly, revealing a spring breeze-like smile: "Where are you going, giving you a ride?" ”

Wu Jue frowned subconsciously, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to refuse, but glanced at the traffic on the road, said thank you, and turned around and got into his car.

"Home?" He started the car and asked Wu Jue sideways.

Wu Jue nodded, reported the address, and after two seconds, he changed his words and said the address of the fitness center he frequented.

"Going to the gym?" He asked casually.

"Well, go play." Wu Jue replied lightly, because he was not interested in speaking, he half-leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The car was cold for a while, and then Cheng Yuzheng's voice came: "I'm tired from work? ”

"Hmm." She still didn't open her eyes, and her tone was slightly perfunctory.

He seemed to smile: "I don't know, it turns out that you don't like to talk so much." ”

"Because if you say too much, you will lose." Wu Jue subconsciously said something, and even he was stunned after speaking, opened his eyes, and happened to meet his glance, only then did he remember his gaffe, after all, he was her boss, or the new boss who had just taken office.

Straightening up a little embarrassed, Wu Jue smiled at him far-fetchedly: "I'm sorry, I'm just a little tired." ”

"You didn't do anything wrong, why apologize?" The corners of his mouth were raised, and his face was light and bright, "You just said to play, what kind of ball?" It just so happens that I may not have exercised in a long time, so why don't you add me to it. ”

Wu Jue was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "Billiards." ”

He seemed to have a momentary accident,

Partner? I wonder if he's lowering his body or lifting her up? I wanted to say something humble, but because I didn't have the right mood, Wu Jue swallowed the words raw.

Cheng Yuzheng's posture of holding the pole is very handsome, and this slow-paced movement seems to suit him very well, because every movement can declare that he seems to be born with gentleness.

Although it can be seen that he is a little rusty, his skills are really good, and Rao is Wu Jue can't win a few goals against him. After a few rounds, I don't know if the temperature of the indoor air conditioner is too high, or if it really consumes some body, and I sweat slightly.

During the break, Cheng Yuzheng took a bottle of drink, opened it for Wu Jue, and handed it to her, as if it was natural. She suddenly thought about what kind of living environment would have such a gentlemanly upbringing.

Saying thank you, Wu Jue was about to praise his ball skills, but he opened his mouth first: "I didn't expect you to be so good, to be honest, I haven't met a few women like you who can play billiards." ”

She shrugged noncommittally: "Actually, it's okay, it's just that I usually like to play." ”

After speaking, he found that he did not speak again, only stared at her motionlessly.

She turned her head and met his eyes, the inquiring look made her a little cramped for a while, and she subconsciously frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

He didn't seem to feel abrupt, but suddenly frowned and asked, "I just think it's strange, why do you like billiards?" ”

Wu Jue felt that his question was a little inexplicable, so he replied casually: "Because I had an illness before, I couldn't do strenuous exercise for a long time, so I had to play billiards, but I didn't expect to like it." ”

"I see." He nodded thoughtfully.

The atmosphere froze for a moment, Wu Jue stood up, picked up the cue and hit a ball seemingly casually, the ball fell into the hole, she leaned on the table and looked at Cheng Yuzheng, and said jokingly: "Actually, billiards is very interesting, every time you play a stick, you have to calculate the distance angle and strength, not one more, not one less point." The so-called carelessness loses all the games, and in this sport, it is most obvious. She paused, then added, "It's like our work, if we want to be the best, we have to be calculating." ”

Cheng Yuzheng was obviously a little surprised by her remarks, in fact, even Wu Jue himself didn't know why he said this, as if some feelings couldn't be vented, but he still had to change his way to confide in people.

He was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed: "You seem to be wrong, what we want is just calculation, not calculation, although I have been abroad for many years, I still haven't forgotten Chinese." ”

Wu Jue was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect him to notice this kind of language detail, and she replied slightly embarrassed: "It seems that my Chinese is not good." ”

Actually, she was not wrong, from the moment she entered Lin Zheng, she was slowly learning to calculate.

After being silent for a while, Cheng Yuzheng suddenly looked at his watch and got up: "I still have a friend party in the evening, otherwise, I will send you back first." ”

Wu Jue hurriedly waved his hand: "You go and get busy, I still want to play alone for a while, see you tomorrow." ”

"Okay, see you tomorrow, and in the future, happy cooperation." He approached her and smiled and held out his hand, she thought he was going to shake her hand, but she didn't think he just patted her on the shoulder.

Wu Jue nodded a little and replied to him with a smile: "Manager Cheng, see you tomorrow." ”

He shrugged his shoulders as if he was a little helpless and funny: "When you're not in the company, you can just call me by my name." ”

"Hmm." Wu Jue replied noncommittally.

He suddenly smiled brightly, turned to leave, walked a few steps, and then turned around and said, "Wu Jue, has anyone ever sued you, you have a very complicated temperament." He seemed to think for a moment, "What do you say?" It's like ...... Plausible submissiveness, plausible caution, and paradoxical duty. ”

Wu Jue was stunned for a moment, but did not speak.

Cheng Yuzheng probably felt a little funny after speaking, and spread his hands: "I said it casually, don't mind." ”

Wu Jue looked at his departing back, and suddenly had a feeling of cracking in her mind, like a needle, impartially piercing the most vulnerable part of her heart, even if it was just a careless force, it made her feel a kind of pain.

Suppressing this discomfort, she set the ball and prepared to complete a game by herself. Every time a goal is scored, that empty sound indicates a kind of loneliness.

In fact, she has long been accustomed to loneliness, but she is not used to how to face loneliness peacefully.

In this loneliness, Wu Jue thought of Lin Jiahe, and wondered what kind of consequences her offense would have for her? Perhaps, he was actually a magnanimous boss, or she would not have even promoted her position after refusing him on the island, or maybe he had limited patience and fired her with a big stroke of the pen tomorrow.

In fact, she sometimes thinks that if she really loses this job, it would be better, maybe she can return to zero in one qiē, so that she can try to forget all the unhappiness.

Because his mind was in chaos, his hitting posture became more and more unstable, and the ball on the table was a mess by Wu Jue. The more this happened, the more impetuous, and finally simply threw the rod, picked up the bag and walked out.

When I arrived on the road, I realized that it was dark and the lights were on.

The fitness center was not far from Wu Jue's residence, and he only walked for more than twenty minutes, thinking that it would be okay anyway, so he decided to walk home.

The night breeze in early spring, with a hint of coolness, blew on her face, which made the whole person a lot clearer.

Slowly walked to the intersection where I lived, and suddenly saw a black car parked under the street lamp in front of me. Because it was a familiar body, it had to make Wu Jue's heart fluctuate.

When she got closer and saw the license plate behind the car, she confirmed her conjecture.

Just as he was hesitating how to step forward to say hello, the car door had opened, and Lin Jiahe walked down from inside.

Because of the light on his back, his face was not very clear, Rao was like this, Wu Jue still felt the gloom that he conveyed from this night.

Lin ...... Always ......" Wu Jue's voice was almost a little angry, not deliberately pretending, but at this moment, she was really a little overwhelmed.

He didn't say anything, just walked around to the other end of the car, opened the door suddenly, and said coldly: "Get in the car." ”

Wu Jue hesitated for a little two seconds, and then got into the car.

Before he was fired, he was still the boss and she was still an employee, so although she didn't know what he was going to do, she felt obliged to obey.

In fact, this deterrent power of his will indeed make people unconsciously convinced.

"Mr. Lin, what's the matter?" Wu Jue felt that her voice was too obvious with sincerity and fear.

"Why is the phone turned off?" He didn't answer the question, and his tone was full of impatience.

She took out her phone, looked at the pitch-black screen, and replied apologetically, "It should be out of power." I didn't know you were looking for me? ”

Only then did he turn his head to look at her, his eyes narrowed slightly, still as always, expressionless, and as if thoughtful. Obviously staring at her, but not as if he was not looking at her.

"Mr. Lin, what's the matter with you?" Wu Jue was about to be made furious by his eyes, and he didn't know how much he could hold on, and he would be completely defeated.

He didn't answer her, only sighed in an almost inaudible voice, turned his head and started the car suddenly.

His actions are too unbelievable, and if he were someone else, he would probably lose his breath for a long time. But Wu Jue only felt tired at this time, and didn't want to think about anything, so she didn't have any uneasy thoughts, what he was going to do, or what to do to her, she didn't want to care at all at this moment.
