"Meow~"

"Well, you've already eaten a can today, and I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"Meow."

Cheng Xiaoran touched the biscuit's head helplessly, "Eating too much will break your stomach, be good, go play next to it." ”

Mao Tuanzi smashed his mouth a few times and entered the nest dejectedly.

Since she had this little gadget to accompany her at home, Cheng Xiaoran finally found something to do again, counting the days, Zhou Tingyu should come back in three or four days.

Ding——

The phone screen suddenly lit up, and she looked down and saw that it was a text message.

"How are you doing?"

This number is...... Senior Zhao Li?

Cheng Xiaoran recalled her college days for a moment, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but show a smile, she picked up her mobile phone and replied.

"It's good, didn't the senior go abroad?"

"I'm back from my studies, do you have time to have a meal together?"

"But I'm in H City."

"It's okay, I'm here too."

Cheng Xiaoran was surprised.

She remembered that the senior's family was in Linshi, so why did she come to H City.

After thinking about it, Cheng Xiaoran replied: "I have time in the afternoon, where can I meet?" ”

"Cafe in the heart of the city."

"Got it, see you in the afternoon."

When she was in college, she lived very poorly, and the Cheng family almost didn't care about her, whether it was tuition fees or living expenses, she had to rely on her own part-time work to maintain it.

At that time, Zhao Li was also regarded as a man of the year in the university, not only handsome, but also very good at home, and many students regarded him as a male god in their minds.

Maybe it's God's favor that she can become friends with such an excellent senior, and now after a year of absence, I didn't expect to meet again.

Cheng Xiaoran went upstairs to change into the most ordinary shirt and knitted jacket, said goodbye to the biscuits, and took a taxi to the central area.

An hour later, the café was leaning against the window.

Zhao Li ordered her a cup of chocolate milk tea, "I haven't seen you for so long, and you are still the same as before." ”

Cheng Xiaoran smiled, "I feel like I've gotten fatter." ”

"It's obvious that I'm losing weight." Zhao Li took a sip of the coffee in front of him, and his every move was extremely elegant, "Which company do you work for now?" ”

"I haven't found a suitable one yet."

Zhao Li was very surprised, "At the beginning, you were among the best in college, and before you graduated, several listed companies threw olive branches to you, and you were not satisfied with any of them?" ”

"No, on the one hand, it's my own reasons, and on the other hand, it's family factors, senior, you should understand me."

"Hmm." He does understand.

When I first met Cheng Xiaoran, it was the same late autumn as now, she was sitting on a bench wearing a thin cotton jacket, and what she was holding in her hand was a cake that had been cooled.

His family is quite superior, and he naturally thinks that those who can enter this school are students who don't worry about food and clothing, but Cheng Xiaoran broke his concept.

Maybe it was out of curiosity, maybe because of pity, he stepped forward to talk, and since then he has become Cheng Xiaoran's friend, and he has also learned a part about her family.

"Your mother, she...... Are you alright? ”

Cheng Xiaoran smiled bitterly, "She is still in a coma, but I believe that she will wake up sooner or later." ”

"Well, if you need anything at work, you can come to me."

"Okay, don't bother me when the time comes."

The two laughed for a moment, and the dullness in the atmosphere was dispelled a lot, "How long does the senior plan to stay in H City this time?" ”

"I can't say, maybe a day or two, maybe two or three years."

"In this way, when we have a chance in the future, we can go back to the university together, and we can miss our youth."

Zhao Li chuckled and looked at Cheng Xiaoran's eyes with extremely gentle eyes.

"Xiaoran, has there been any special progress in the relationship recently?"

Cheng Xiaoran's smile froze, and Zhou Tingyu's face instantly appeared in her mind.

Is that man his boyfriend?

"What's wrong? Uncomfortable? The face of the person in front of the meeting was strange, and Zhao Li asked worriedly.

"No, I'm still the same, what progress can I make." No one will love her, and she has nothing to love.

It's good to just go on like this.

"It seems that the men in H City really don't have a good eye."

If he hadn't gone abroad to further his studies, maybe they would have ......

Zhao Li shook his head and chuckled.

Where in this world are there so many ifs, but fortunately, it's not too late, this time, he will definitely not let go.

"Okay, I can't get enough coffee, I'll take you to dinner."

"Isn't this too troublesome senior?"

"Where, just have a meal, I'm not busy to that extent."

"Hmm."

Cheng Xiaoran has grown so big and has never made a few friends, so she cherishes Zhao Li very much, and many times she even thinks that if her mother also gave her a brother, she should have such an easy-going and elegant character.

The two walked around the mall, and finally picked a Korean restaurant, and as soon as they entered, a woman hiding from behind the stairs showed her face.

"Cheng Yu, isn't that your sister? Am I right? ”

Cheng Yu sneered, "Of course I'm not mistaken, I know that she is not a person who can endure loneliness, not long after Mr. Zhou left, she was in a hurry to find other men." ”

"Who was the person who just stuck with her? Pretty handsome. ”

"That's Zhao Li, Cheng Xiaoran's college classmate." Although she has a bad relationship with Cheng Xiaoran, she still inquired a lot about the past.

The dog leg who followed Cheng Yu hurriedly instigated: "It's not easy for us to catch the rapist, how can we let her go easily, why don't you take a photo and send it to Mr. Zhou?" ”

"What are you kidding, everyone knows that I can't get along with Cheng Xiaoran, if I send it, Mr. Zhou will definitely suspect that this is a deliberate slander."

"You're stupid, let's just send it with an unfamiliar number, Mr. Zhou will definitely not be able to find out that it's you." After the woman finished speaking, she exclaimed, "Look at you, the two people inside are about to kiss together, hurry up and shoot!" ”

Cheng Yu glanced at it in response, from her point of view, Cheng Xiaoran did look like she was kissing Zhao Li, she hurriedly took out her mobile phone and pressed the camera button.

Looking at the intimate photos on the screen, she smiled viciously, "Let's go, let's wait to watch the show." ”

In the Korean restaurant, Cheng Xiaoran didn't notice anything strange outside the window at all, a drop of hot soup had just been splashed in the corner of her eye, Zhao Li wiped it for her with his hand, and it was indeed a little ambiguous from the side.

"Senior, I'm fine."

"Why don't you sit on my side, the air conditioner is blowing right on you, it will be uncomfortable."

Cheng Xiaoran smiled lightly, "Where am I so squeamish, let's eat." ”

"Okay."

Talking and laughing to fill her stomach, Cheng Xiaoran rejected the other party's proposal to send her home, and took a taxi to rush back.

Anyway, she is now Zhou Tingyu's person. People should have professionalism, and they should keep an appropriate distance from any man, so as not to cause unpleasantness.

Far across the ocean.

The man had been in a meeting all day and was listening to his assistant's summary report.

"Mr. Zhou, the cooperation between the two sides has been very successful this time, and it is estimated that it can be finalized within this year."

"Hmm."

"There's nothing else, there's just a few documents left to sign, and this one will work tomorrow."

Zhou Tingyu pinched his swollen eyebrows, "Hmm." ”

"Mr. Zhou, if you're tired, rest early, I'll go back to the room first."

Being able to follow Zhou Tingyu as an assistant, his eyesight will definitely not be too bad, as soon as he leaves, the room is quiet, and even the sound of a needle falling on the ground can be heard clearly.

Zhou Tingyu sat on the sofa for a moment, then took out his mobile phone and pressed a string of numbers.

"Hello?" The voice on the other end of the phone was soft and glutinous, as if he had been woken up in his sleep, with a small temper.

The corners of the man's mouth hooked slightly, "Sleeping so early?" ”

It should only be nine o'clock in the evening in H City.

Cheng Xiaoran was still in a state of confusion just now, and when she heard this voice, her whole body was in good spirits, "Mr. Zhou?!" ”

"Hmm."

"Are you still used to it? Is the work going smoothly? ”

"Very good."

Cheng Xiaoran breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, H City has been very cold for the past two days, and I'm about to wear cotton clothes." ”

"I'll ask Secretary Li to pick out a few more clothes for you and send them over."

"No, no, I can't stuff it in the cabinet, Mr. Zhou, when will you come back?"

The man got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, and when he looked at it, the exotic scenery was unobstructed, but no matter how pleasing the scenery was, it couldn't be as pleasant as the woman on the other end of the phone, "Not sure." ”

"Is that so? But it's okay, I'll wait for Mr. Zhou to come back with Biscuits. ”

"Did it cause trouble?"

Cheng Xiaoran glanced at the cat rolling on the ground and playing with plush toys, and said with a smile: "No, the biscuits are very obedient and sensible." ”

"Well, get some rest early."

"Okay, goodbye Mr. Zhou."

Hanging up the phone, Zhou Tingyu lit a cigarette, intending to go back to work after smoking, but before he could light it, the mobile phone rang with a "ding".

Thinking that Cheng Xiaoran had sent some message, he immediately clicked to check it, but the photos on the screen made his face suddenly gloomy.

Holding back his anger, he called the assistant next door.

"Hello? Mr. Zhou? ”

"Book me a plane ticket back to H City tonight."

The assistant was brushing his teeth, and when he heard this, he almost spewed a mouthful of bubbles, "Mr. Zhou, you're not joking, are you?" There's another meeting tomorrow. ”

"Immediately!"

The man's voice was mixed with the anger of the storm, and the assistant shuddered for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yes, I'll go now." ”

God, who is not afraid of death and makes Mr. Zhou angry like this?

I hope she lives to see the sun tomorrow.

……

At four o'clock in the morning, everything was as usual.

The clock on the wall was ticking, and the fluffy fat cat was curled up in its nest, sleeping peacefully and comfortably.

In the bedroom, Cheng Xiaoran curled up in a ball, even in her sleep, her brows were furrowed, as if she was having a bad dream.

"Click."

The door lock was unscrewed, Cheng Xiaoran thought it was an illusion in a daze, and turned over with her eyes closed, but in the next moment, a pair of cold hands fell on her arms, as if they were about to crush her bones.
