Chapter 394: Frozen
Zhou Wanwan didn't expect that the person outside the door was Shen Guodong, and Shen Guodong didn't seem to expect that Zhou Wanwan would be here.
He changed the briefcase in his hand for a while, and then smiled at Zhou Wanwan, "Why didn't you go to the art museum?" β
The Provincial Art Museum is holding a painting competition, and two paintings are invited to participate in the exhibition every night, and today she should be there as a judge to present awards to the winners.
But Zhou Wanwan didn't even talk about Zhou Chen and Ringing Bell about this matter, let alone Shen Guodong, who he hadn't seen for more than a month.
Zhou Wanwan opened the door completely, so that Shen Guodong could see the bell in the house, "I pushed it, there is something more important today." β
Ringing heard Shen Guodong's voice, and also walked over from the dining table, "Guodong, it's been a long time." β
Shen Guodong hurriedly came in to talk to the ringing bell, and Zhou Wanwan invited the young man who looked like a secretary behind him to come in as well, and the man pointed to the two big foam boxes beside him, "The ones that have just been airlifted over have to be refrigerated quickly, and some have to be frozen." β
Shen Guodong motioned to Zhou Chen, "Xiao Er, you go and deal with it, it's some seafood." β
Zhou Chen and the young man moved all their things to the kitchen, Zhou Wanwan just wanted to go in to help, looked at the bag that Shen Guodong was holding and the young man who followed, poured them two glasses of water, but didn't take slippers for Shen Guodong, "Brother Shen, do you still have to go to work later?" β
Shen Guodong has never brought work home, rarely even brings a briefcase home, and never likes to let people at work disturb his private life, unless he comes back halfway through something urgent, and then has to go out.
Shen Guodong nodded to the young man and asked him to go first. "You go back to rest first, and I'll talk about the rest when I get to the office tomorrow." Then he instructed him, "Let Xiao Liu come up." Give me the key and he can go home. β
The young man didn't say a word of nonsense with a very good look, nodded to everyone, and said goodbye to Shen Guodong, "Director Shen, then I'll leave first, and you can rest well today." You're working hard these days. β
The young man left, and soon another young man trotted up, apparently Shen Guodong's driver.
"Director Shen. Aren't you going to the professor building of the Academy of Fine Arts? Anyway, I'm fine, I'll just wait for you below, and I'll send you home when I'm done, Director Ma told me. Let me take care of you. You haven't slept well in days, so how can you drive yourself. β
The professor's building of the Academy of Fine Arts is the name of the residential community outside the dormitory of Zhou Wanwan, and it is named because most of the people who live in the dormitory are professors of the Academy of Fine Arts.
The people in the room pretended not to see Shen Guodong's embarrassment, and his face instantly swelled with blood and quickly receded like a tide.
But the driver Xiao Liu couldn't pretend not to see it, this young man was almost frightened by Shen Guodong's instantly changed face, stumbled and left the key, and said goodbye incoherently and ran away.
Ringing didn't know why Shen Guodong was suddenly so embarrassed, but he didn't plan to dig deeper. Not to mention that they have been separated for ten years. Even brothers and sisters who live together every day also have their own privacy, and it is impossible to know everything.
Zhou Wanwan stood silently for a while. went to get slippers for Shen Guodong, Zhou Chen also went to the kitchen to clean up, rang the bell and started chatting with Shen Guodong, and the atmosphere in the room slowly became natural.
Zhou Wanwan took the slippers and went to make tea again, obviously, Shen Guodong was a little tired, he couldn't rest immediately in this situation today, so let's refresh first.
Then Zhou Wanwan went to wash a cool towel and let Shen Guodong wipe his face, although it was the weather in early September, the autumn tiger was raging, he didn't know where he came from, and there was a faint sweat on his face.
Shen Guodong changed his slippers, Zhou Wanwan's towel was handed over, he wiped his face, and had an extra cup of tea at hand, and after he took a few sips of tea, Zhou Wanwan brought a small plate of biscuits, "Zhou Xiaoer is making the shrimp you brought, and we'll eat together later." β
Ringing Ling looked straight and smiled, "Guodong finally didn't hurt this girl in vain, and finally knew that he was distressed!" β
Zhou Wanwan sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Ringbell and beat her shoulder, "Sister Ringing, are you jealous?" β
Ringing patted Zhou Wanwan's hand and sighed to Shen Guodong, "It's been almost ten years since I left, and when I first saw her, I couldn't believe it, why did that little girl grow so big!" β
Shen Guodong glanced at Zhou Wanwan, his gaze was complicated and difficult to understand for a moment, but he changed his smile to Ringing in an instant, "Sister Ringing hasn't changed, she is still as beautiful as before." β
There is nothing that the woman doesn't like to hear, Ringing smiled and looked back at Zhou Wanwan, "When did he learn to speak so well?" β
"Brother Shen is telling the truth, Sister Ringing is as beautiful as before!" Zhou Wanwan complimented the two of them very seriously, "Brother Shen's biggest shortcoming is that he can't lie. β
Ringing pulled Zhou Wanwan to sit down beside him, he liked her so much that he didn't know what to do to her, he took her into his arms and shook her, "It turns out that you are the best speaker in the whole family!" β
Shen Guodong looked at them and laughed, this time the smile went straight to the bottom of his eyes, and the warmth revealed made his rock-like and hard face lines soften a lot, and the whole person looked less sharp and cold.
He picked up the teacup, slowly breathed a long sigh of relief without a trace, drank most of the tea in the cup, and the whole person immediately felt a lot more energetic.
Zhou Wanwan saw that he was finally willing to relax, so he smiled and pointed to the kitchen, "I don't just talk, I also love to work diligently!" Then he ran to help Zhou Chen, leaving the two of them to talk well.
Ringing and Shen Guodong sighed about Zhou Wanwan's growth again, and turned the topic to him, "Guodong, in fact, there are several of you, you have become the most." β
Yes, on the surface, Zhou Wanwan has grown from a little girl to a slim girl, which is the biggest change in the past ten years.
However, in the eyes of the bell, Shen Guodong has changed from the big boy who is a ruffian and reckless and reckless to live a relaxed and comfortable life, and what she is today is what she can't expect the most.
has been ringing for so many years, and I have seen many men change from youth to maturity, but Shen Guodong is not just mature.
He is indeed an out-and-out mature man from the appearance of now, with a tall and sturdy figure, a cold and handsome face, sharp and deep eyes, a strong and tough temperament, and a high position with a promising future, all of which undoubtedly makes him a very attractive mature man.
However, when Bell first saw him, he noticed not all this, but was very surprised to find that he seemed to have frozen a part of himself.
The kind of coldness that came out of his bones and the ruthlessness that he didn't know what he was trying to resist made his whole person look very dangerous, like an ancient killing weapon that had seen countless bloodshed, standing alone in the ice and snow for thousands of years, cold and hard as ice, no matter how lonely he was, no one was allowed to approach.
"Big brother, Yoko has just become the most, if you see him holding his son and smirking, you must be shocked."
Ringing sighed in his heart, look, this refuses to talk about it.
He didn't give anyone the slightest chance to get close to him, or even himself, to his heart, which he had completely frozen.
If it weren't for the ten years in between, Ringing would not have found such a huge change before and after Shen Guodong so obviously.
After all, that Shen Guodong impressed her too deeply back then, that boy may be criticized for being cold and tyrannical to others, but he was warm and enthusiastic and open to the people he identified with.
The current Shen Guodong, except for the few minutes when Zhou Wan was there just now, there was no trace of temperature in his eyes.
Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan made boiled shrimp and stir-fried squid again, as well as a cold seaweed, reheated the dishes on the table, and Shen Guodong and Xiangling also went over to help set the table and prepare for the meal.
Shen Guodong asked Ringing to sit down first, and he also sat down, changing the dishes on the table to two places.
Waiting for Zhou Chen and Zhou Wanwan to come over, Zhou Wanwan glanced at the table, picked the farthest position from the braised pork ribs, and sat next to Shen Guodong.
Zhou Chen didn't let her go, after everyone finished clinking cups, the first chopsticks sandwiched a piece of braised pork ribs for Zhou Wanwan.
Zhou Wanwan lowered her head and didn't dare to say a word, and finished silently.
Ringing looked at it and couldn't laugh, "When did you hate eating pork ribs so much?" β
"Sister Ling, don't worry about her, this dish was originally made for you, you eat a few more pieces." Zhou Chen pushed the plate in front of the bell, "She doesn't like to eat braised things, but what can she do without eating a mouthful of meat?" β
Zhou Chen glanced at Zhou Wanwan again, Zhou Wanwan pretended not to see his threat, grabbed the cup in his hand and took a sip, only to find out after drinking it that it was the half of the beer that Sister Bell poured for her.
It's so unpalatable! Zhou Wanwan wanted to vomit with half a sip of beer in her mouth, but she was afraid that Zhou Chen would continue to stare at her, and she really couldn't swallow if she didn't vomit, Shen Guodong understood her situation at a glance, and just wanted to stand up and block her sideways, she had already closed her eyes and swallowed.
Shen Guodong's hand holding the cup tightened, and he quickly peeled two shrimps and put them on the plate in front of her, signaling her to quickly suppress the wine.
Zhou Wanwan smiled at him and made a "really unpalatable" expression on the beer cup, but Shen Guodong was not amused by her.
No matter how bad it was, she drank it too, and he sat next to her, but she would no longer take the initiative to ask him for help.
In the past two years, he has asked himself countless times, why was he so naΓ―ve at the beginning, and thought that even if they were no longer lovers, he could still be the original brother Shen who was close to her?
Regardless of whether he could really retreat to the position of an older brother, she no longer gave him this chance.
Shen Guodong picked up Zhou Wanwan's cup and poured the rest of the beer she drank into his tea.
He drank tea, and now the whole provincial government knows that the new young inspector doesn't drink a single drink, but clinks glasses with the secretary of the provincial party committee, and drinks tea.
But no one knows how much he longs for that person to bring this cup of residual wine to him, no longer have to be coquettish and smiling like a flower as before, as long as he has a look of help, he can drink it with satisfaction.
However, he no longer had the qualifications to do so. (To be continued.) )
