In the morning, I received two groups of partners who came to our company to negotiate business, and reviewed some documents. I was busy until about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and I went to the cafeteria for lunch.

At this time, there were very few employees in the cafeteria, so I casually ordered some dishes and ate them in a corner. I had just eaten halfway through when I lowered my head and felt someone sit down in front of me and place the plate across from me.

I looked up, but it was Qian Xiaolei.

Although I said last night that I would forget about the past, I was still a little unnatural when I saw this woman who had an intimate relationship with me, and forced a smile: "Mr. Qian, you just ate it?" ”

Qian Xiaolei smiled very happily and said, "Yes! There's a budget that costs me a lot of time. By the way, I saw that you were working with Mr. Fan so early in the morning, and last night ...... Didn't you come home? ”

I touched my nose and smiled wryly, "Well, I spent the night outside last night." However, Mr. Fan really worked in the company until dawn and did not rest all night. ”

"Really?" Qian Xiaolei picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, and said while eating: "Mr. Fan...... It's a poor woman, don't look at her like a workaholic, in fact, I guess she doesn't want to go back to that lonely home, and would rather use work to pass the lonely time. ”

I sighed, I didn't know any of this, but ...... How can I help?

We ate silently for a while, I didn't have much appetite, so I didn't want to eat, and was about to open my mouth to say goodbye to Qian Xiaolei, but I heard her smile and said first: "By the way, you said you were going to invite me to dinner last night, but you can't just talk about it, I'm waiting, let's say, when are you going to invite me?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "In two days, when the time comes, I will call Xie Qin and Lailai, you bring Huihui with you, and we will eat seafood in a better place, how about it?" ”

Qian Xiaolei frowned and whispered, "What are you doing...... To call so many people? Just the two of us, can't we? ”

I said, "It's more lively, besides, the three of us have been classmates for many years, and it seems that we really haven't had a good meal together." That's it, I'll let you know when the time comes. Saying that, I stood up and said, "You eat slowly, I've finished eating, there are still some documents on it that haven't been read, I have to go first, goodbye!" ”

I left the cafeteria, but I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart. Qian Xiaolei said that she would not mention that matter from now on, and how she got along with her before is still the same. But I understand that things will never be so simple, because in the past, how could Qian Xiaolei take the initiative to sit opposite me when eating? And they don't talk to me in that tone, and they don't just say that they want to eat alone with me. Thinking of the photo she had hidden in her purse and her devotion to the goodbye kiss last night, I felt even more uneasy.

Don't...... She really ......

I know very well that according to my surname, I can hardly refuse Qian Xiaolei. Because I feel guilty and can't be tough with her. If she catches me and wants to get something, I'm really bad, I'm ...... Annoyed to death!

Alas! I thought: I can't afford to hide if I can't afford to provoke you? Later...... Just have less contact with her.

Back in the office, I didn't have the heart to review the documents at all, so I lay down on the reception sofa and squinted for a while. As soon as I closed my eyes, my mobile phone rang, and I took it out and saw that it was my wife calling.

"Hey, wife, what's the matter?"

"Hehe, I didn't come back last night, did you fight with the big witch until dawn?"

"Hehe, what are you talking about?"

"Hmph, still don't admit it? By the way, husband, why do you seem to be rejuvenated lately? It's so brave! ”

"Really? Do you like it or not? ”

“…… Dislike! How can anyone ask someone like that? I won't tell you. Oh yes, I called to tell you that tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are weekends, and that I am going to accompany my cousin to T City after work in the afternoon and come back on Monday morning. In the past two days, you can toss Xiao Shu to your heart's content, let that little silver baby enjoy enough, and save me from having to continue to be destroyed by you after I come back, hum! ”

I frowned and said, "You and Liu Qing are going to T City again?" What the hell are you going to do? ”

"Hehe, my cousin's girl is shy, she won't let me tell you, and I can't help it. But husband, don't worry, we'll be fine. In two months, I don't need to say it, you will understand as soon as you see her, hehehe, it must be a big ...... It's different, hehehe! ”

I didn't understand what Jingjing meant, and seeing that she didn't want to say it explicitly, I had to tell her to pay attention to safety and so on. Jingjing smiled and agreed, and hung up the phone soon after.

Being interrupted by Jingjing like this, I didn't even feel sleepy, so I had to go back to my desk to work. The day was so busy, and when it was time to get off work, I still didn't receive a call from Xu Shu, so I couldn't help it, so I called directly.

"Hey, Xu Shu, what's the arrangement for the night?"

"Oh, Tang Qian, I'm sorry, I'm in the 501 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army now, my dad had a heart attack this morning and was sent here for rescue. My mom and I just came over and haven't had time to let you know yet. ”

I was taken aback and said, "What? How is your dad now? Does it matter? ”

"Well, now that I'm out of danger, my mother and I plan to stay and take care of my dad for a few days, Tang Qian, I'm afraid it's ......"

I hurriedly said, "It's okay, of course it's important to take care of the elderly." Is there anything I need help with? ”

"Thank you! But not yet. You see, it's really unfortunate, since we came back from Hangzhou, either you have something to do, or I am not available, and we haven't seen each other. Now my dad is sick, and I don't know when he will recover. Alas, it's time for our plans to be postponed again. ”

"Don't say that, although we don't see each other, our hearts are connected. We will have a long, long time to stay together until the day we die of old age, and we will not be truly separated. ”

"Tang Qian ......"

"Oh yes, I've been to see our little world, it's so beautiful! Xu Shu, you must have put a lot of thought into it, right? ”

"Really? It's mainly Sister Shi's busy work, and I'm just putting forward an idea. Tang Qian, I really want to ...... Stay with you in our little world, and never come out again. ”

"Me too!"

"Alas, the more I talk about you, the more I miss you. Forget it, I'm reeling in the line, I'll have to feed my dad medicine in a while. ”

"Okay, don't get tired, and pay more attention to your body. I wish your dad a speedy recovery, goodbye! ”

"Goodbye!"

I took my phone back, and by this time I had walked out of the office and onto the street. I looked at the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going on the street, and suddenly realized that my loved ones were not in City B tonight, and I had nowhere to go.

I was stunned for a long time and decided to take advantage of this rare free time to go back to my parents' house to have a look. Hearing the news of Xu Shu's father's illness made me think of my parents. They are old, and as sons, they should care more about them and come home often.

I went to my parents' house, and they were very happy to see their son come back. After dinner, I accompanied them to cheer for a while, and talked for a while, until the dead of night, and then reluctantly came out.

It was getting late, and I stood at the corner of the street for a while without seeing a taxi pass by. I was anxious, I saw a flashing headlights in the distance, and a taxi was driving towards here.

I was overjoyed and was about to wave her down, when I suddenly found that the empty license plate of the taxi was upside down, and there were already passengers inside. I was disappointed and retreated.

The taxi drove up in front of me, but stopped, and I saw that the passengers inside were paying. Now I was happy again, it turned out that this passenger got off here. What a coincidence!

I waited at the door of the car, and when the passengers got down, I went up. After a while, the car door opened, and a man stepped out. As soon as we looked at each other, we each exclaimed in surprise:

"Huh? Tang Qian? ”

"Manager Gu?"

It was Gu Ruoyan who came out of the taxi, and she said in surprise: "I originally wanted to call you today, but the store was too busy, so I thought about it later." I didn't expect you kid to appear at my door silently, hehe, what are you doing here? ”

I smiled and said, "My parents live here, and I just wanted to go back." Ay? Manager Gu, I remember that your home is not in Biyun Community? How did you move here? ”

"Hey! I sold that house a long time ago. Two years ago, I quit my job and went to Zhuhai, and I was determined not to come back, so I sold all my property in City B. Alas, I didn't expect a good horse to have to eat back grass! I couldn't get along alone in the field, so I had to come back in disgrace. After I came back, I rented a house here, how about Tang Qian, go to my house and sit down? ”

I looked at the sky and said hesitantly, "But ......"

"But what?" Gu Ruoyan was overly enthusiastic, she grabbed my hand and said, "Don't hesitate, it's so rare to meet you, how can I let you leave easily?" Let's go to my house! You don't know how many words I have in my heart that I want to tell you! ”

"Hey, hey!" I was carried back by her with tears and laughter. was about to defend a few words, but the taxi couldn't wait, turned a corner, and drove away.

I was depressed, but Gu Ruoyan was very excited, but a thirty-six-year-old woman was as happy as a child. She pulled me and smiled: "Don't feed it, the car left early, it's so remote here, you may not have a rental car if you wait for an hour." Let's come to my house and sit down, and I'll call you for one later. ”

I had no choice but to follow her to her house. The house she rented was not very far from my parents' house, on the third floor of the next building. After entering, Gu Ruoyan excitedly invited a seat and made tea, and strangely she actually took out a pack of Chinese cigarettes and an ashtray as if she was juggling, and put them in front of me with a smile.
