19. Chapter XIX
Guan Ce also found that he had lost weight, he usually didn't get fat no matter how much he ate, and he lost weight quite quickly.
But what can be done about this, his parents are abroad, and they live alone, and they rely on takeout to eat, so they miss meals when they are busy, and often eat two meals together.
However, this situation has improved in recent days, and the secretary is finally in love, and often comes to the company with love meals.
Her boyfriend is a sincere person, he cooks for her according to the amount of food that an adult man eats, and the girl has to keep in shape, and most of her love meals go into Guan Ce's stomach.
At first, Guan Ce was a little suspicious of the origin of this meal, but later he met a few times when the secretary secretly called someone, saying "It's all over", "I like this, I don't like that", etc., he was relieved, and even envied her.
Until one day, Guan Ce got up earlier than usual and arrived at the company more than ten minutes earlier.
The secretary didn't seem to have arrived yet, so he went to the pantry to make coffee by himself, and then heard a familiar voice coming from inside the door.
Zhou An: "I got up late today, and the porridge didn't have enough time, you remember it, don't talk about it later." β
Miss Secretary: "Got it, wow, it's so fragrant...... You really don't sue Mr. SΓΉ Guan? β
"Nope." Zhou An seemed to smile, "I don't want to trouble him." β
"Huh? Why is it causing him trouble? β
"You just said as agreed before, I should go, in case he sees it, it's hard to explain."
As soon as the words fell, the hurried footsteps gradually faded away, and then the secretary left the pantry.
Guan Ce stood in the corner between the pantry and the pillar, looking at the thermos pot she was holding in her hand that had appeared in her office on time every day recently, her eyes sank little by little, and finally closed behind her long eyelashes.
After leaving the company, Zhou An quickly got into the car, afraid of meeting Guan Ce on the way.
As soon as he started the car, the phone rang suddenly, which startled Zhou An, thinking that it shouldn't be the secretary's lady who showed her stuffing, and Guan Ce found out that he made breakfast, right?
"Where?"
Song Yutao's cold voice came from the other end of the phone, and Zhou An loosened the seat belt that was too tight: "In the company." β
"Just right, wait for me for two minutes, and take you to see Mr. Guan."
Zhou An stopped the car with a foot on the brake, and his expression was a little subtle: "You want to go to the company?" β
"You didn't mean in the company?"
Zhou An really wanted to give himself a big mouth, he didn't want to meet Guan Ce at this point.
But work is not a joke, and ...... If he changes his words, he will be suspected of wanting to cover up.
So, a few minutes after Zhou An came down from upstairs, he followed Song Yutao again. Seeing the secretary's face of "why are you here again", he could only laugh and pretend to be stupid.
Fortunately, Guan Ce didn't know that he had just come, and called them into the office as usual.
Because of his weak heart, Zhou An seemed a little distracted during the whole conversation, and his eyes always unconsciously drifted to the thermos pot placed on Guan Ce's left hand.
"Qiao Yuan, do you have any comments on the future work arrangement?"
After Song Yutao asked, after waiting for a long time and not hearing an answer, Guan Ce and him looked over suspiciously, and saw Zhou An staring at Guan Ce's direction in a daze, Song Yutao kicked him.
Zhou An woke up: "What? β
"What is your opinion on our work arrangement?" Song Yutao said, signaling him with his eyes not to be stunned.
Zhou An knew that he was distracted, and smiled embarrassedly: "I don't have any opinions." β
"That's it, Mr. Guan, let's go first."
Zhou An and Song Yutao stood up and wanted to leave, but Guan Ce stopped Zhou An: "Qiao Yuan, you stay, I have something to tell you." β
When Song Yutao heard this, he looked at him meaningfully, but Zhou An secretly complained, every time Guan Ce talked to him alone, it was not a good thing, could he pretend not to hear it and leave first?
As it turned out, he couldn't!
Guan Ce personally closed the door, and in Zhou An's worried eyes, he picked up the thermos pot on the table and handed it to him: "Yours!" β
At this time, it was useless to pretend to be stupid, Zhou An pretended to take it easily, and said with a smile: "How did Mr. Guan find out?" β
Guan Ce pursed his lips, regretting that he only found out that Zhou An was secretly taking care of him until today, thinking that he had envied Miss Secretary when he didn't know it, his mood was indescribably complicated.
Zhou An saw that he didn't speak for a long time, and his heart beat even more, and he reluctantly smiled and said: "I didn't mean to lie to you, if I said that I did it, you definitely wouldn't ......."
"Do you take what I said as wind in your ears?" Guan Ce suddenly interrupted his explanation, and his white face flushed with a faint flush of anger.
Zhou An was stunned for a moment, and then laughed again, there was already a bitter taste: "No, I remember it." β
Guan Ce's light-colored lips were tightly pursed, his face was sealed with a layer of cold frost, and his eyes were full of cold arrows, approaching Zhou An.
The atmosphere between the two suddenly became tense, and Zhou An chuckled helplessly: "I'm sorry to disturb you, I'm just ......"
He wanted to say that he just saw that the other party was busy day and night, and he felt sorry for him. He didn't want to see Guan Ce's haggard appearance, and he didn't want him to have three meals a day without money. Zhou An also wanted to say, I tried my best to care about you carefully, for fear that you would find out and feel that my love would become a burden to you.
But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say it anymore, Guan Ce had already made his attitude clear, and what he did was just wishful thinking.
Giving affectionately is never a good way to move people's hearts, Zhou An understands this truth, but he can't help but do these things.
"I'm sorry." Zhou An's eyes were sour with bitterness, "I'm troublesome." β
Hearing two apologies from Zhou An's mouth in succession, Guan Ce was not as relaxed as he imagined, but choked in his throat in one breath, blocking his breathing.
The two waited for each other to speak, but neither spoke.
Zhou An looked at Guan Ce's delicate facial features, listened to his breathing, which became a little chaotic because of anger, and finally met his black and white eyes......
For a moment, Zhou An felt that he saw a feeling similar to shame in Guan Ce's eyes.
He was slightly stunned, his brain hadn't figured it out, his body had already moved-he grabbed Guan Ce's shoulders tightly with both hands, forcing the other party to look at him: "I'm not reconciled, Guan Ce, can you not push me so far, you give me more time, let me slowly get used to ......"
"If I say no, can you give up completely?" Guan Ce was very detached from his expression and tone, he looked at Zhou An, who was stunned, "I said that I liked you, and it was you who started to pursue you, and now you are telling me that you want to give you time to forget jΓ¬?" Did you ask me for my opinion at the beginning? β
"It's up to you to decide everything, you don't have to think about my feelings at all, do you?" Guan Ce pulled Zhou An's hand off his shoulder, then took a step back and looked at him with a frown, "Love is a matter of two people, what's the use of you moving yourself half to death?" β
Zhou An was shocked by Guan Ce's words, and he didn't know how to react at all.
Guan Ce clicked the thermos pot in Zhou An's hand: "The love I want is equality, respect and tolerance, which one do you belong to secretly cooking for me?" β
ββ¦β¦ Probably, inclusive? β
Guan Ce glanced at him, Zhou An shuddered, and stammered: "Okay, it doesn't seem right." β
Zhou An was shocked by Queen Guan's aura and went offline, and then thought that he was going to shoot in other places, and he couldn't see each other for a long time, and he couldn't help but feel sad.
"Anyway, I am going to shoot in other places, and then I am going to Tibet, so I will take advantage of this time to adjust myself." This is insincere.
ββ¦β¦ Idiot! Guan Ce turned his back and muttered quietly.
Zhou An didn't hear this little complaint, he only felt that he had missed something, and why he didn't understand what Guan Ce meant.
There was another awkward pause in the conversation between the two, Zhou An stood in place and carefully recalled each other's words, while Guan Ce casually picked up the chocolate beans that Miss Secretary put on the table, threw one into his mouth, and asked, "How long is the shooting cycle?" β
"Expected for two months."
Guan Ce glanced back at Zhou An, and the chocolate beans in his mouth slid from right to left: "I haven't been to Tibet, I heard that the scenery over there is very good." β
Zhou An didn't know why the topic suddenly changed, and he couldn't figure out what the other party meant, so he had to answer: "Well, the closest place to the sky." β
Guan Ce's chocolate beans slid to the right again: "I hope the signal is good, you can take photos and share the scenery of the journey." β
"Hmm...... Well? Zhou An looked at Guan Ce in disbelief.
The mint-flavored chocolate beans finally melted, Guan Ce took a step forward and quickly kissed Zhou An like water on the cheek: "Pay attention to safety on the road." β
Zhou An smelled the special aroma of chocolate and mint and approached quickly, his cheek seemed to be lightly touched by a butterfly, and before he could react, the "butterfly" had already flown out of the door.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Yay!"
It took a long time for Zhou An to shout, almost knocking off the roof of Guan Ce's office.
"Guan Ce, are you serious?" He opened the door and rushed out, because he was so excited, his voice was not loud, so loud that everyone in the company could hear it.
Miss Secretary was taken aback by him: "You be quiet! Mr. Guan went out, are you looking for him? β
Zhou An couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, his eyebrows were full of joy, and he said, "Beauty, thank you so much, I'll invite you to dinner another day!" β
Miss Secretary was puzzled by him, and before she could ask in detail, Zhou An blew away like a gust of wind.
