Chapter Ninety-Seven: Close Your Eyes and Love
Since being slapped by Luo Ting, Gao Qu's head has never been quiet, and there are always some voices ringing, as if he wants to break through the Tianling Gai, so that he can't sit in the closed conference hall to negotiate with people, and he can't put on another face and force a smile to coax customers, he can only drink.
A few red and white bottles went down, and his whole body was poured on the dinner like this, but his eyes were still open, looking at the colorful cups staggered, and watching the people at the table laugh at him in all kinds of ways - he couldn't hear clearly, his head was still buzzing, and the most violent sound was Luo Ting's slap.
He suddenly shouted a name, shouted continuously, and lay on the table in a dejected manner, mixed with the smell of wine, with a disgusting sour taste in his throat, and kept reciting a person's name.
But no one at the dinner table can hear clearly, and no one will care if they hear clearly.
Only he could hear it, and the voice crept into his head, becoming clearer and wider, until it finally overshadowed the slap and drowned out all the pain and shame.
The next day, Gao Quqiang cheered up and appeared in the office, and Sheng Fuyang teased him with bad intentions, saying: "I heard that you were put down last night, and you dare to use 'drink' in Lao Wang's business, it seems that you Gao Zong is also quite hard." If you want me to say, the project on the river is so difficult, why don't you let it go, it's boring to die! β
Gao Qu didn't bother to respond to him, staring at the computer screen, but the mouse cursor dangled aimlessly, and finally stopped in the upper left corner of the screen.
He still didn't raise his eyes to look at Sheng Fuyang, but said: "I, Gao Qu, can only die now, and one death is counted as one, do you want to accompany you?" β
Sheng Fuyang pouted and said, "No, I don't think my life is long enough, I'll just wait honestly to see who you kill in the end?" He left the conversation and left.
Gao Qu raised his eyes to look at Sheng Fuyang's back, because of the last meeting, his momentum in the company had already surpassed him, and the position of vice president was about to be determined, but because of Qu Yaying's words, the board of directors temporarily changed its attention.
At present, as long as Gao Qu wins the project of Shanghe, he may be able to compete with Sheng Fuyang for another spring and autumn season. Although Sheng Fuyang was quite unhappy, both of them knew that their embarrassing roles in the company were inevitably swayed by relationships and interests, so Sheng Fuyang had no other major seizures except for ridiculing and ridiculing him every once in a while.
He still doesn't know why Qu Yaying suddenly has the resources for the Shanghe project, and this Lao Wang has no business contact with Anke.
He thought that Qu Yaying was in a hurry to let him come back to N City because of Dr. Xiao Yin's matter, but he didn't expect to take over this project that was very important to the Sheng family but had little chance of winning as soon as he came back, and there were already several companies competing in the same city.
Because the odds of victory are not great, Gao Qu kept maneuvering between the Sheng family and Lao Wang, and he was stared at, and he had to continue to bear Sheng Fuyang's cynicism when he came back, not to mention that he was slapped by Luo Ting just yesterday.
He hesitated to call her, wanting to apologize and explain, but he also knew that he was at fault first, Luo Ting was a cold-blooded person who held grudges, and he would never answer the phone lightly, and besides, he couldn't give Luo Ting the answer he wanted.
But the matter of finding a doctor for Xiao Yin made him have to bow his head again, just like Luo Ting treated him with a very low attitude that day, he had to pick up the phone and press the button very low, listening to the long and monotonous "beep-toot-toot" sound, and listening to the extremely fast frequency of "toot!" after the phone was cut off. Honk! beep".
He sighed, regretted, and helpless, and the residual alcohol in his body last night once again surged up to his temples, and he was more eager to drill through his head more violently and sharply.
And that voice, that slap sound, he even suspected that Luo Ting was not slapped on his face at all, but Tianling Gai, it was his temples, and even down to his abdomen, where there was a faint pain.
He lay down on the table in pain, and once again pronounced a name in his mouth, the name he had shouted all night last night, the only name that could suppress the commotion and give him a moment of peace:
Jiayi, Jiayi, Jiayi......
Jiayi, Jiayi, Jiayi......
β¦β¦
- "Jiayi! β
Guo Rui's voice came from outside, he was standing outside the store, but the elm head poked in first.
Jia Yi immediately woke up from his distraction, and hurriedly beckoned him into the store, saying, "Why do you have time to come?" β
Guo Rui smiled innocently: "I just happened to drop by and drink something in your store." β
As he spoke, his eyes looked left and right, and he happened to be seen by Jia Yi, so he had to scratch his head, immediately shifted his gaze, and said, "There are a lot of people in the store."
Jia Yi also smiled casually: "Well, there are a lot of people, but there is still one person missing." β
"Ah...... Who is missing? β
"Without my sister Zhiling, she recently researched a new product, which is most suitable for this season, try it?"
Guo Rui nodded hurriedly, and said, "Okay, okay, but what about her?" β
Jia Yi pointed in the direction of the kitchen and said with a smile: "She is preparing a new product with Su Qian, just for you to drink later." β
Guo Rui laughed innocently again, left Jiayi to find a seat, just passed by the photo wall, suddenly thought of something, and turned back to Jiayi and said, "By the way, do you know Mark's recent news?" β
This name that came out of Guo Rui's mouth made Jia Yi's heart rise suddenly, she shook her head and asked, "He...... What happened to him? β
"Oh, he's very good, recently he posted a set of pictures in the magazine, and also wrote a feature, so many people mentioned him, I heard that he didn't do advertising planning anymore, studied art and design abroad, and there were already a lot of works, and ...... Next year, the Shanghai side wants to invite him back to participate in a small exhibition, and if it goes by the way, maybe he will return to China at the end of the year. β
Guo Rui looked at Jia Yi, who was stunned for a while, and asked in a low voice, "This should be a good thing, right?" β
Jia Yi avoided his gaze at a loss, her hand flipping through the menu as if out of control, and muttered, "Yes...... Right. β
Guo Rui smiled and pointed to his seat.
Even the most uncertain Mark has a legendary return date, isn't this exactly what she wanted in the first place?
But she was not as happy as she had imagined, and she even had a sense of worry and fear as to why she was still so sensitive to that name in her mind, as if he had some intimate relationship with her.
Hasn't her heart just been occupied by someone else?
How could she still have room for affection for Mark?
Connected with Luo Ting's sentence "Do you know you are very selfish" that day, a series of slams, at this moment her heart was so heavy that she didn't seem to beat, as if she was entrenched and tightened by some magical barrier, unable to breathe, let alone eat - since she met Luo Ting, she hadn't eaten much.
But even so, she still felt panicked, and her stomach, mouth, and chest became more and more severe on the way back to the apartment: the traffic was crowded, the crowds were crowded, and the eyes were full of congestion and jams.
When she was forced internally and externally, she couldn't support it anymore, but fortunately, one foot had already stepped into the apartment, and she had no intention of ignoring the army and Lan Lan who rushed over with jubilation, hurriedly went upstairs, and went straight to the toilet as soon as she opened the door.
endured all the way, and finally spit out with a "wow".
She didn't actually vomit anything, because her stomach was empty, and she could only vomit a burst of sour water, but her body was still squeezed and blocked.
She was lying next to the toilet, because the strength of the vomiting made her feel weak and her eyelids were heavy, and she squinted unconsciously.
In a trance, someone called her name, which was very familiar and kind, and her lower body was gently held up.
Because of the sudden physical contact, she immediately opened her eyes alertly, her breathing stopped instantly, and before she could see who it was, she took the lead in pushing it away, although she didn't have much strength, but half of her body still slipped off in the man's hand, and one foot fell directly to the ground, and the man's body leaned down a little, and his eyes stared straight at her.
It was Gao Qu, and after confirming that face, she gasped.
He looked at her and asked softly, "Are you uncomfortable?" Are you vomiting with nausea again? He said as he lifted her up.
She finally sat down on the soft and warm sofa, looking confused, and only nodded.
He sighed and said, "Why isn't it okay yet?" Didn't you say it's too good to be true? β
She looked at him strangely and said, "What? β
At this time, Gao Qu immediately changed his expression, he looked her up and down, and said, "No, no......" walked up to her again, and said in a questioning tone: "Tell me honestly, who did you just meet?" β
Jia Yi shook his head and said, "Didn't you meet anyone?" β
Gao Qu still stared at her with suspicion and said, "Did you have intimate contact with any man just now?" β
Only then did she realize that she couldn't help laughing, and said, "I really didn't see anyone just now, and I took the bus home when I came back from the store, how did you get in?" She said and glanced at the door, probably because she was in a hurry to go to the bathroom just now, and she didn't even have time to close the door.
"Your door is not closed, of course I came in." He sat down too, right next to her, and the body temperatures and breaths of the two seemed to mingle.
He counted on this distance, not enough to look at the mountains and rivers, but enough to glance at ten thousand years, in this distance that is neither close at hand nor the end of the world, to take in a heart that has been wandering for several days.
Even if it was just silence, it was like a spring breeze bathing the body and mind, and the body from the brain to the abdomen was soothed by her one by one, without any folds, flat and flat, and the two souls fit seamlessly......
But the sudden closeness and temporary silence still made Jia Yi a little uneasy, not intimate fear, because she had just checked herself, there was no nausea and rejection, only nervousness and excitement, so that her body was a little fluttering, and her heart was bumping into deer.
Regardless of the fact that he fell down, he was so out of control and fickle, he was obviously heavy just now, but now he seems to be flying in the clouds.
Gao Qu said: "If it weren't for the close contact, then I guess you haven't taken much care of yourself recently." β
"Huh? No, I've been doing well lately. She was anxious to hide her aberrations during this periodβrestless sleep and worry.
"Really? That...... That's good. He was clear that he wanted to say and stoppedβshe had been doing well during his absence, and he shouldn't have been lost, he really shouldn't have ......
"What about you?" She asked eagerly
He pretended to be relaxed and said, "I'm fine, too." β
The two of them were silent again, neither of them willing to say what was on their minds, as if those words would cast an opaque blue over this rare silence.
The light around gradually dimmed, and she realized that the light in the room had not been turned on, and just wanted to get up, but Gao Qu took the lead, and he said, "I'll go." β
Those tacit understandings were unearthed in the dim light, and as the lamps lit up more and more clearly and dazzlingly, he stood next to the doorway switch, against the door frame, his eyes only watching the face become clear in the light, and the name that he had recited countless times finally found a home, but he could no longer leave it.
"Forgive me about my uncle......" he said lazily, almost coquettishly.
Jia Yi's face was slightly red, she raised her eyes to look at him, nodded, and said, "Actually, I always wanted to ask you, didn't you really go to buy dates that day?" β
"What do you say?" He smiled, and the light swirled in his eyes.
"Then you also deliberately want to confess that we are not boyfriend and girlfriend?"
"Hmm-" He didn't deny it, although he knew that she was confirming something to him, like Luo Ting, but he was tired of explaining at this time, and he was even more afraid of the explanation itself.
It was like a begging, although it was not the first time he had begged her for an answer, but today, during this time, he really didn't want to beg anymore, he had heard too many rejections from her, even more than Luo Ting, he knew that she still wouldn't give him an answer this time, it was too early, her complicated physical condition and erratic heart made this answer too early.
But Jia Yi expected him to continue, and she was about to fall to the ground when she fell towards him, and she wished he could catch her.
But no, he stood at the door several meters away, and only said: "It's nothing, call home more, I still have something to do, I have to go first, and I must lock the door at night." β
After he finished speaking, he smiled at her and waved goodbye, and walked out the door, and the figure disappeared in the doorway.
Her bulging mind was like a balloon, suddenly punctured, and inexplicably withered to the ground, curled up, and she squatted down in a lost place.
Is this how she ends?
Falling to the ground and dying?
No, she doesn't believe it!
She propped herself up, ran to the windowsill, leaned down halfway, and watched him look into her window before he stepped into the car, and she held back when she tried to hide inβ
The upper body appeared straight in the window, and she wanted him to see herself, to see all her nostalgia and reluctance, and to see her unhesitating.
Gao Qu pursed his lips, suddenly let go, curled the corners of his mouth, waved his hand, and got into the car.
To hell with all the uncertainty!
She likes him, it doesn't matter if he likes her or not, it doesn't matter what his answer is.
But she also didn't forget to remind herself that this is the last time, the last time, close your eyes and love! (To be continued.) )
