(7) Trade-offs

Qiu Yan returned to the rental house and put the book on the bed, quickly boiled the kettle of boiling water, took out a packet of instant noodles and tore it, put the dough cake and seasonings into the magnetic jar and poured it with water. While she was waiting for the interview to open, she picked up a language book and read it.

The blank space of the page is full of notes written by Han Fei, some of the handwriting is neat and standardized, some dragons fly and phoenixes dance, and some sentences are only half written...... Qiu Yan watched and imagined the situation when Han Fei was taking notes.

Suddenly, the mobile phone rang, Qiu Yan picked it up and pressed answer.

Han Fei: "Haven't you arrived home yet?" ”

"I'm home, I'm reading your language books." Qiu Yan said as he stood up and picked up the instant noodles in the magnetic jar with chopsticks.

Han Fei: "I can't speak Chinese, and my notes are messy, so you can make do with it." Have you eaten? ”

"I'm about to eat, are you okay?" Qiu Yan put the book on the bed and picked up the noodles in the magnetic jar, trying to make it cool faster.

Han Fei: "It's okay, I just want to see if you're home." Qiu Yan, you ...... Is there anyone you like? ”

Qiu Yan's heart suddenly tightened like clockwork, her whole body tensed, and she held her mobile phone silently.

Han Fei pretended to smile lightly: "Did it scare you?" I'll just ask, and it's okay if you don't want to say it. That...... You eat, it's not good for your stomach to eat when it's cold. ”

Qiu Yan put down the phone he hung up and began to eat noodles, thinking about Han Fei's question just now while eating. Does Han Fei want to confess? Am I going to accept him? Qiu Yan sighed, thinking of Shen Peng, his heart became heavy.

Whether it is Han Fei or Shen Peng, in Qiu Yan's opinion, they are all characters that she can't climb.

"Are you worthy? My son is going to be an officer in the future, and he will marry a woman who has not gone to college as his wife, what do you make others think of him? If you really love him, stay away from him......" Shen Peng's mother's words still stinged her.

"You said you two have a good relationship, why don't people want you?!" Mom's sarcasm and questioning still echoed in my ears.

Qiu Yan chewed on the noodles, tears welling up in her eyes. The biggest lesson left to her by her first love is that people must be self-aware, don't covet the beauty of the moment, and forget the way forward.

Last time I went to "Wild Goose Return" to buy tapes, I heard that Shen Peng's old love was unforgettable, and Qiu Yan no longer resented Shen Peng in his heart. Although after the incident, Shen Peng left, leaving her to bear all the ridicule and humiliation alone, but things have changed, and she has let go of her blame for Shen Peng and her friendship with Shen Peng. She also thought about whether to go to Shen Peng to make her words clear, forget the past, and live a relaxed life, but after thinking about it, she still decided to forget it, she didn't want to be involved with Shen Peng anymore.

Han Fei is very beautiful, his appearance and work are the best among people, he is considerate to Qiu Yan, and the kind of heart-warming care that is revealed intentionally or unintentionally makes Qiu Yan very moved. However, for Qiu Yan, the more beautiful things she is, the more afraid she is of getting, just like a person who is used to poverty suddenly discovers a mountain of gold, and will doubt the authenticity of this mountain of gold, and can't believe that this mountain of gold will really belong to him.

Qiu Yan sat on the bed after washing, picked up the book just now and read it, and couldn't help laughing when he saw Han Fei's page written "Why don't you get out of class and why don't you get out of class............

As the New Year approaches, the urban villages are deserted, many migrant workers have gone home for the New Year, and the familiar snack bars on the streets have closed their doors one after another. Qiu Yan walked along the narrow undulating paths, searching for breakfast stalls, but found nothing. She thought that she would have to go to the steamed bun shop downstairs of the company to eat. The buns in that steamed bun shop are delicious, but they are too small. Qiu Yan usually doesn't eat breakfast in that store, for fear that she won't be full.

She walked out of the urban village to the bus stop, and a car followed behind her and honked its horn. Qiu Yan had already walked on the side of the road as far as she could, and the car was still following her. She turned around angrily and saw Han Fei's smiling face.

Han Fei: "I've been waiting for you for a long time, get in the car." ”

Qiu Yan sat in the car and asked suspiciously, "How do you know that I live here?" ”

Han Fei smiled: "The address you filled in the company says it." ”

"You didn't come here so early to pick me up, did you?"

Han Fei turned his face sideways to look at Qiu Yan and smiled, "Why not?" ”

Qiu Yan avoided Han Fei's gaze, blushed and looked out of the window, and said after a while: "Don't be like this in the future, I'm ...... I think it's awkward. ”

Han Fei glanced at Qiu Yan and became uncomfortable, "I'...... I was passing by here, thinking that I could give you a ride by the way. You haven't eaten yet, have you? ”

Qiu Yan let out a "hmm" and turned sideways to look at the gray street scene outside the window.

Han Fei cleared his throat and moved his body, as if he wanted to shake off all the embarrassment all over his body, and pretended to be relaxed: "You smile at me, I invite you to breakfast." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Yan turned around and looked at Han Fei in surprise, Han Fei winked at her slyly, Qiu Yan laughed out loud, and said angrily: "You are so naïve." Han Fei laughed softly. Qiu Yan remembered Han Fei's serious appearance in the company and smiled again, and Han Fei laughed along. The laughter dispelled the ambiguous and awkward atmosphere in the car.

Qiu Yan: "Is this car from the company?" ”

Han Fei: "How can I pick up my own people and use the company's car, I Han Fei doesn't care about fake public and private things." ”

"Then why haven't I seen you drive to work before?"

"It's a ten-minute journey, and I arrived before I stepped on the accelerator, so it's better to play comfortably."

……

Han Fei's hospitality was very real, and he ordered a copy of all kinds of snacks in the steamed bun shop, Qiu Yan looked at the food on the table, "Can the two of us eat so much?" ”

Han Fei: "It doesn't matter if you can't eat it, taste it and know what is delicious, and you won't waste it in the future." ”

Han Fei's combat effectiveness in eating is not good, and he quickly eats enough like a chicken pecking rice. Qiu Yan couldn't bear to waste food, so he ate a lot. When Han Fei was full, he sat on the stool and watched Qiu Yan eat. Qiu Yan was uncomfortable with him, and stretched out his hand to block Han Fei's eyes and complained, "If you look at me like this again, I really can't eat it anymore." Han Fei smiled and pulled away her hand, "I really didn't find you so edible before!" Qiu Yan blushed and called the waiter to pack.

Han Fei followed Qiu Yan into the company with a smile, and the colleagues who came early greeted Han Fei warmly, "Secretary Han came really early today!" Han Fei higgled and covered up the past.

Qiu Yan sat at the front desk and took out the work summary that Han Fei had revised yesterday, and began to copy it seriously.
