Chapter 28: Apollo and Venus
The meeting didn't end until half past ten, Su Ning looked at her mobile phone when she walked out of the conference room, except for a bunch of work information, Ouyang Zhen still didn't have any news, and she didn't have his phone, so she could only wait for his summons.
Of course, he always had a way to find her, whenever he wanted.
Everyone turned into birds and beasts and scattered, and within five minutes, there were only puffs of green smoke left in the office, and she was alone.
At 10:57 in the middle of the night, Su Ning said to herself: Admit defeat.
From then on, your daily life, every hour, every minute has become two words - waiting. Waiting for him, waiting for his call, waiting for his black Mercedes Benz, waiting for his call, waiting for his caresses, waiting for his pity, waiting for his leisure, waiting for him to suddenly think of her, waiting for him to end his date with someone else......
Su Ning could only stare at the signal light of the building in front of him in a daze. Someone turned off the lights in the office, and the darkness was getting thicker and thicker like a fog, and she stood in front of the window, her neck hurting more and more, because the head it supported was about to fall off on its own because of its weight and hopelessness.
Suddenly, the incandescent lights behind him lit up in rows, and someone came! Su Ning was so excited that she almost cried with joy, so she turned her head suddenly-Peng Tian, who was standing not far away, looked at her with some fright for no reason. Whew, Su Ning finally blew out the swaying light on the candle in her heart.
"Why haven't you left yet? I didn't turn on the lights yet, but fortunately I was bold, otherwise I would have been scared to death by you. Peng Tian walked towards her step by step.
Su Ning's mood is like a withered chrysanthemum, with petals all over the ground, but none of them are on the branches. "Oh, I was thinking about something, and I forgot to turn on the light."
"I'll come back and get the information, let's go together!"
"Okay." Whoever she wants to talk to, it's just a person, and it's good to be able to respond.
There was no one in the hallway, of course, and they walked side by side to the elevator, both of them quiet. The elevator went down to the parking lot, and Peng Tian told her to wait for him to drive the car over.
When his white BMW drove out, Su Ning subconsciously took a few quick steps towards him and got into the car.
"What's wrong with you?" Peng Tian started the car and asked.
"There's too much to worry about."
"Would you like to find a place to sit for a while?"
"It's too late."
"I'm sorry to cause you to work overtime."
"Where, this point is not overtime for us."
"I want to go hiking this weekend, do you want to go together?"
Su Ning shook her head.
"Think about it, there's still time, just tell me if you want to go."
"Yang Ting should be very willing to go."
"Really?"
Su Ning pursed her lips and couldn't help laughing, and Peng Tian turned his head to look at her.
"You weren't like that before."
"What?"
"Sharp teeth, I remember back then, you didn't like to talk much, and you blushed very easily."
"No, I've always been like this."
Peng Tian glanced at her again, Su Ning thought that the look was unusual, but she didn't bother to think about it.
"I remember one morning in my freshman year, I saw you reading English under a plane tree. You were wearing a white T-shirt and a blue denim skirt that day, clean and fresh. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You don't know how beautiful you are." β
Su Ning didn't dare to look at him, she was afraid that he would see that she was blushing again, and even more afraid that he would see that she was actually blushing for him.
The atmosphere in the car was really strange, and Su Ning felt that she should make a few jokes to dispel the ambiguous atmosphere. "Do you know that Chen Xi is married? She was the one who swore that she would never get married for the rest of her life, she was really fragrant, haha. β
"If we hadn't broken up, we would have gotten married after graduation."
Su Ning shook her head disappreciatively, "I think people who marry early are stupid, obviously they have just become independent from one family, and they enter another family non-stop, just like people who can't swim are desperately trying to grab a life-saving straw after drowning." β
"That's cruel."
"You know of a play where the heroine rejects a suitor? She said that when I went to every unfamiliar city, when the train was getting closer and closer, it seemed as if an adventure was about to unfold in my eyes, and the whole person was excited. But as long as I get married, no matter which city I go to, there will be no more miracles. β
After a short silence, Peng Tian smiled and said, "When you walked towards the car just now, I had a delusion, just like when I saw you for the first time, I longed for that figure to come to me, and now you are really walking towards me, and I have a long-lost sense of happiness." β
"Do you think we'll be happy when we're married?"
"With you, I will be happy."
"But I won't."
Peng Tian was stunned, looked at her, and already had a number in his heart. The car drove downstairs very familiarly,
"Have a great weekend." He said a little jerky.
"Thank you, goodbye." Su Ning quickly got out of the car. Peng Tian watched her figure disappear, and there was a cold sobriety: everything had left him. He remembered the bits and pieces with her from acquaintance to love to breakup, her focused eyes, faint voice, and shy expression...... It was a heartache.
At ten o'clock on Sunday morning, the feeling of being woken up by a knock on the door, like the sudden renovation of the upstairs neighbor, the animal side is very eager to take a gun to kill this person, and the human side can only get up like a walking corpse, hide the killing instinct overflowing in the blood, casually put on a blanket and jump to the door, glancing alertly from the cat's eye.
Chen Xi stood at the door, full of wind and dust, needless to say, she must have learned the news from Wang Xiaohong.
As soon as she entered the door, she frowned: Why are you messing around like this?
Of course, the room was a mess, half of the sofa was full of clothes that had not had time to be organized, the dishes in the kitchen had not had time to be washed, and there were several take-out boxes on the table that had been sitting for days. Su Ning knew that she was empty, so she casually picked up a coat and wrapped it around her body, and then tried her best to start packing up a space for her to play.
Chen Xi didn't speak, walked to the window, opened the window directly, lit a cigarette casually, and immediately snuffed it out after two puffs: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you were pregnant." β
Su Ning opened her mouth, but she didn't make a sound.
"Tell me, what are you going to do?"
"To be honest, I don't know. Also, I was released by him yesterday. β
Chen Xi found an open bottle of sparkling wine from the refrigerator, took a sip, and said slowly: "I found you, you always care about face when you fall in love, do you like this man?" β
"Love ......"
"Did you tell him? Didn't say that, did you? Does he know you like what he likes? I don't know, you're obviously a naΓ―ve mess, and you like to pretend to be able to control thousands of troops. β
"It's impossible between us......"
"Why can't it be? Just because he's rich? He's richer than you, but he's richer than 99% of the people, so what's the obstacle? β
"But he seems to be very afraid of people talking to him about feelings."
"It's the same as playing tennis, not all opponents have a natural understanding, and some combinations need to be cultivated. If you don't cooperate with each other, you will never see him again, the question is, do you still like him? Do you still want to see him again? β
