Chapter 15: Boundaries
Jiang Luosheng got permission and walked over.
It was the first time she had entered this room. There were only a few electronic devices at the head of the bed and the desk, dark gray sheets, quilt covers, curtains, almost everything was simple, much cleaner and colder than her room.
She lay down beside Xiao Qi. There was a half-human distance between the two.
Xiao Qi covered her with a quilt and dimmed the light. After thinking about it, he turned off the light directly.
There was only the cold light of a computer screen in the room.
"It's so quiet over there." Jiang Luosheng looked at him. This side face under the cold light is mature and mysterious, with clear edges and corners.
"Is the screen on?" Xiao Qi turned his head to ask her.
Jiang Luosheng shook his head, "It's okay." You yours. ”
Xiao Qi got the answer, but his eyes were still on her.
There was something strange about the atmosphere in the room. In the darkness, the young men and women stared at each other wordlessly, and the temperature seemed to slowly rise, melting away the boundaries they had drawn over the years.
Jiang Luosheng raised his face, suddenly hooked the corners of his lips, and slowly spoke: "I sleep next to you, won't you have bad intentions?" ”
Her eyes were clear, but her voice was sexy and naughty.
Xiao Qi looked down at her for a moment. Then, suddenly, he grabbed her hand and led her all the way down.
Through the fabric, Jiang Luosheng could still clearly feel his body temperature.
Suddenly, she suddenly withdrew her hand, turned her back to Xiao Qi, and her eyes were cold.
There was still a distance between the two. Silence spreads unchecked.
Xiao Qi was the first to break the silence, "Good night." ”
"Good night." Jiang Luosheng closed his eyes.
My mind was full of strange dreams, and my ears were the sound of the wind whistling outside the window, and the sound of snowflakes hitting the glass.
A thunderbolt, Jiang Luosheng's consciousness was suddenly pulled to reality, and when she slowly opened her eyes, the room was pitch black, and she suddenly couldn't tell whether it was day or night, and she couldn't remember where it was.
The people around him moved. Jiang Luosheng turned over, and the faint light of the mobile phone screen in mid-air was the only light source in this room.
There was a lot of snow outside.
When Xiao Qi heard her movement, he also turned his head and looked in her direction in the dark, "Awake?" ”
"Hmm." Jiang Luosheng's voice was still ethereal, and there was a hint of intoxicating hoarseness, "What time is it?" ”
"It's past three o'clock."
"Why don't you sleep?"
"Woken up by thunder." Xiao Qi's subwoofer was hoarse.
"Even when it's snowing, it's thundering." Jiang Luosheng pulled the quilt, buried his head in the pillow, closed his eyes and prepared to go back to sleep.
Xiao Qi spoke again: "Are you afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid. It's just a bit noisy. Jiang Luosheng said sullenly. She just wanted to sleep quietly and not be disturbed.
Xiao Qi reached out and touched her head, "Sleep." ”
After that, he didn't take his hand back, just put it on the top of Jiang Luosheng's head, and patted it lightly for a while.
Jiang Luosheng was photographed comfortably and finally slept peacefully. When she opened her eyes again, it was already dawn, and there were strange colors and smells around her.
She stared at the ceiling and remembered that this was not her room.
The other side of the sheet was empty, and even the residual heat had receded.
Outside the window, the sky has cleared, and it seems that the heavy snow in the middle of the night is just a dream. Compared with unrealistic eternity, fleeting exists more realistically in every corner, like heavy snow in the middle of the night, like dewy love.
At noon, in the dressing room of the Binmen Grand Theater, the dancers who got off the show were chatting enthusiastically.
"We booked a Christmas Eve Valentine's Package."
"Let's go to the hot springs."
Jiang Luosheng listened to their conversation while putting on makeup in the mirror.
"Luo Shenghua is so good-looking, and he is also going on a date?" A colleague asked.
"Yes." Jiang Luosheng applied his eyelashes seriously.
"With a boyfriend?"
Jiang Luosheng smiled, "Yes." Christmas Eve dance party at boyfriend's company. ”
"Speaking of which, what does your boyfriend look like?" The colleague was curious, "We haven't seen each other yet." ”
Jiang Luosheng blinked, and opened his mouth with a set of words that he had long been accustomed to: "I have the opportunity to show you." ”
She hadn't really noticed such an "opportunity". If you don't like the feeling of losing control of free fall, you have to be on guard everywhere, and you can't even hold half an inch of your heart.
But once in a while, it should be okay to dance together.
She comforted herself as she strapped a backpack with a silver skirt and high heels.
"Gone." She said goodbye to everyone, "Happy Christmas Eve." ”
"Happy Christmas Eve, Luo Sheng."
"Happy dating."
Jiang Luosheng hailed a taxi at the entrance of the Grand Theater. The snow on the road had almost melted. When I arrived at the gate of Pango, it was lunch time.
She sent a message to Xiao Qi: I'm going downstairs to you.
Xiao Qi came down in less than two minutes. He wore a black shirt with cuffs rolled up to reveal an arm, with a strong line.
A female colleague passing by greeted him, "Director Xiao." ”
"Hmm." Xiao Qi responded, but his eyes were always on Jiang Luosheng, and he smiled faintly, and his alienated temperament was covered with a layer of warmth.
Jiang Luosheng smiled back.
Xiao Qi took her to register at the door and walked into the company building. While waiting for the elevator, he asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
"Nope."
"Go up and eat with me."
Jiang Luosheng thought about yesterday's sinful hot pot, and smiled helplessly, "Forget it." ”
"Brother Xiao." Several colleagues came in from the gate and greeted Xiao Qi. When they saw Jiang Luosheng beside Xiao Qi, they were stunned.
"Girlfriend." Xiao Qi introduced it succinctly.
"Hello, long admiration of the daimyo!" Colleagues did not hesitate to praise, "No wonder Brother Xiao never brings his sister-in-law over." My sister-in-law is so beautiful, how can he rest assured? ”
"I'm not worried either, so I'm here to check on the post." Jiang Luosheng reached out to help Xiao Qi take care of his collar, and joked naturally.
Xiao Qi looked down at her.
Jiang Luosheng smiled mischievously, "Don't be weak-hearted." ”
Xiao Qi sighed very softly, reached out and pinched her chin, "You're naughty." ”
This sigh is full of mixed emotions, but this word and deed, in the eyes of outsiders, is all flirting.
The elevator door slowly opened, and Jiang Luosheng followed Xiao Qi into the elevator.
Several colleagues also came in and chatted with her enthusiastically. She graciously chatted and joked.
On the top floor, Xiao Qi took Jiang Luosheng down the elevator.
The high-rise office area is quiet. Director of Operations, Director of Sales, Director of Finance...... Finally, they stopped at the doorway where a sign reading "Technical Director" was hung.
Xiao Qi swiped the door open with his badge.
The moment Jiang Luosheng walked in, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
A floor-to-ceiling window is in front of you. A simple and atmospheric desk with a panoramic view of Hamamen Castle as a backdrop.
"It's beautiful." She sighed.
Xiao Qi took her to sit down on the sofa, broke a pair of chopsticks and handed it to her. On the coffee table was a takeaway that had just arrived, still steaming hot, and the aroma of the meal wafted in the air and lingered on the tip of the nose.
Jiang Luosheng took the chopsticks, touched his stomach, and put them down. "I'm not eating. Weight loss. ”
"Eat less." Xiao Qi persuaded.
Jiang Luosheng smelled the aroma of rice, hesitated, but shook his head, "Forget it." Too sinful. ”
Xiao Qi opened a cardboard box and put it in front of Jiang Luosheng. "Just eat a little."
Jiang Luosheng looked down, and instantly felt despair.
Two freshly baked egg tarts are placed in front of you with a tempting milky aroma.
It's a food she can never refuse.
"You did it on purpose." She looked up at Xiao Qi in a resentful tone.
"Yes." Xiao Qi took an egg tart and fed it to Jiang Luosheng's mouth, "Just two." Won't be fat. ”
Jiang Luosheng followed his hand and took a small bite. Crispy tart crust, wrapped in milky and egg flavors, warm from the mouth to the stomach.
Xiao Qi looked at her with a little doting in his eyes.
"It's delicious." Jiang Luosheng said, took his hand, and took another bite.
Someone knocked on the door from the outside, "Director Xiao." ”
"Come in." Xiao Qi responded.
When Shen Lingshu pushed the door in, he saw their technical director sitting on the sofa, holding an egg tart in his hand, feeding a young woman in front of him.
The woman has her back to her, and she can't see the woman's face. But the back is very elegant, and the right-angled shoulders are quite temperamental.
It seems that this is Director Xiao's girlfriend who has only heard his voice and has not seen him.
Shen Lingshu and Xiao Qi have been classmates since undergrad, and they have been colleagues until now, but they have never seen the girlfriend in Xiao Qi's mouth.
She was really a little curious, what does this woman look like, she can accept their cold technical director, and the two have been in love for so many years.
But curiosity is curiosity, she is here to work now.
Shen Lingshu walked to Xiao Qi's desk and put down the folder in his hand, "The new project contract is on your desk." ”
Xiao nodded at the beginning, "Hard." ”
Shen Lingshu smiled slightly and withdrew from the technical director's office. She took one last look inside before closing the door. The woman was still facing away from her, and she couldn't see her face.
After lunch, Xiao Qi signed the contract and told Jiang Luosheng: "I'll go down." ”
"Can I go down with you?" She asked.
The first time she came to Pangu, she was curious.
"Yes." Xiao Qi saw her curiosity, "You want to go around?" ”
Jiang Luosheng nodded, "But if you don't have time, forget it." ”
Xiao Qi directly handed over his badge, "I have a meeting in the afternoon." You take my card and transfer it as you like. ”
"Thank you." Jiang Luosheng took the badge, "I will be very well-behaved and not cause you trouble." ”
Xiao Qi's team is one level below. When they had a meeting, Jiang Luosheng walked around alone.
The staff here is very lively. There are cacti and snacks on the desk, and on the computer screen is a screensaver that says "smile, take a deep breath, put down the butcher's knife".
Jiang Luosheng sneered. It's not easy in all walks of life.
She strolled slowly to the pantry. The water cooler seemed to know that someone was coming, and gurgled two bubbles to welcome.
She stood in front of the refrigerator and looked at the yogurt, coffee, and drinks inside.
Suddenly, she felt a touch on her waist.
"Girl, new here?"
An unfamiliar voice rang in her ears, and the breath on her face carried a strong tobacco smell.
