Chapter 22: Conflict on a Rainy Night
The next day, Chen Erdong resolutely stayed in the company and worked overtime with everyone, he sent a text message to Shen Pei, asking her not to pick it up, the company was rushing to catch an urgent order, and there was a little unhappiness the night before, Shen Pei didn't say anything.
From the evening, a strong wind blew in Jincheng, and it seemed that the sky was going to change, and at ten o'clock in the evening, suddenly lightning and thunder roared, and a heavy rain was coming.
Shen Pei's house is on the top floor, and the confrontation between the lightning rod and the lightning has formed a close and irregular explosion, which scares her enough, she has a shadow of thunder and lightning since she was a child, because Liu Min is often not at home, and she is alone when she is busy, she can only cover her ears and cry in the quilt.
She picked up her mobile phone and called Chen Erdong, preparing to pick him up, and her boyfriend's companionship was the most important thing when she was afraid.
Chen Erdong and Lin Daqi were discussing the manuscript with the designers in the conference room, and the mobile phone was not on their bodies, so they didn't know it for a long time, and as the thunder became louder and louder, Shen Pei couldn't wait, so he took the car keys and rushed out of the house.
"Bell." The people who were in the conference room were interrupted by a knock on the door, and the designer Xiao Tian opened the door, "Mr. Chen, Sister Shen is here." Chen Erdong looked at it, didn't he say that he wouldn't come?
Lin Daqi saw that Shen Pei's face was not very good, and said to the employees: "You continue to discuss." Then walked out of the conference room and took Shen Pei to his office, during the day, Lin Daqi had heard Chen Erdong complain, and told him to resolutely work overtime tonight and not go to Shen Pei's house, at this time he saw Shen Pei suddenly appear, and he was suspicious, I don't know if there was a conflict with Chen Erdong, in case of quarrel, it is always not good to look good in front of the employees in the company.
"Boss Shen, it's windy and rainy this night, why are you here?" Lin Daqi asked tentatively.
"What about him?" Shen Pei saw that Chen Erdong didn't come out.
"Boss Chen is talking to them about copywriting, you wait for a while, I see that your face is not very good, is it uncomfortable? I'll pour you a cup of hot water. ”
"No, it's just that the thunder is too scary, I don't dare to be alone at home, and you didn't answer your calls, so I had to come by myself."
"yes, oops, my phone is in the office all the time." Lin Daqi patted his head, and then picked up the mobile phone on the table, "Oh, I didn't hear a sound, look." ”
As he spoke, he shook the mobile phone that showed missed calls in front of Shen Pei's eyes, at least he didn't want Shen Pei to misunderstand that he deliberately didn't answer the phone, and at this time Chen Erdong came in.
"Didn't I tell you that I was working overtime today? What are you doing here? Chen Erdong spoke a little fast, and he didn't sound very friendly.
Shen Pei didn't expect Chen Erdong to open his mouth with this kind of questioning tone, a grievance came up, on the way here, she was afraid of lightning while driving, she thought that she could be comforted by seeing her boyfriend when she came over, but she didn't expect it to be such an attitude, and her tears were instantly filled:
"I'm afraid of thunder, what's wrong with you!" Shen Pei yelled at Chen Erdong, and Lin Daqi hurriedly ran to close the office door.
"What's wrong with the thunder? Is it the first time you've seen thunder? Chen Erdong has a lot of opinions about Shen Pei in the past two days, so he went against the norm and went toe-to-toe with Shen Pei.
"I'm afraid of thunder and lightning, you knew the first day? I'm home alone and I'm so scared that I can't sleep, and you won't answer your call, what can I do if I don't come? Shen Pei's crying became more and more obvious.
"You can't sleep when it's thundering today, and I don't see you sleeping without thunder!" Chen Erdong did not relent.
Shen Pei glared angrily, didn't answer again, as if he was about to attack and pounce on Chen Erdong, Lin Daqi grabbed Shen Pei's shoulders and shouted at Chen Erdong: "What are you yelling at!" Say no? Shen Pei, don't get excited, don't be like him. ”
Shen Pei waved away Lin Daqi's arm, took a deep breath, and nodded lightly,
"Chen Erdong, you don't have to worry about me when I die." With that, he pulled the door open and hurried away. Fu Huayong stood on the passage and was about to say hello, but when he saw Shen Pei's face full of resentment, he timidly held back, and the other few employees who came out to refill the water also stiffened in place, not daring to say anything.
Lin Daqi looked at Chen Erdong helplessly, and Fu Huayong also walked in and asked, "Dongzi, what's wrong?" Don't chase it? ”
"What is there to chase, Miss Qianjin, look at her who is used to it! Let's go, continue the meeting. ”
"What's the meeting, just the way you are now, didn't I say what are you going to do Chen Erdong? Other girls are afraid of thunder coming to you, what are you angry at others? Lin Daqi obviously felt that Chen Erdong was wrong.
"What's wrong with me? I told her very clearly, I am going to work overtime tonight, I won't go back with her, she promised herself, since she agreed, why do you come! I'm her dog, she can do whatever she wants! ”
"I think you're crazy, you stay in the office first, Dayong, let's continue to go to the meeting, you see his virtue, I don't want to deal with him." Lin Daqi said as he pushed Fu Huayong towards the door.
Chen Erdong picked up the cigarette that Lin Daqi put on the table, lit one, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down, but accidentally inhaled a little harder, choking him and coughing a few times.
He is a person who rarely gets angry, he used to have trouble with Shen Pei, and he rarely spoke loudly, let alone easily, and he didn't know what happened just now.
Half of the cigarette was smoked, and it seemed that he had an answer, was he really angry with Shen Peilai pestering him? No, what he minds is that Shen Pei ignores his career and ability, and doesn't need his hard work to pave the way for the future.
In fact, Chen Erdong didn't realize that in the past two years of dating Shen Pei, Shen Pei's economic strength has caused him a certain degree of inferiority.
Shen Pei drove the car home with tears in her eyes all the way, and the thunder and lightning outside the window did not pity her grievances, and still resounded in the night sky without recognizing her relatives.
Shen Pei couldn't sleep peacefully, turned on the computer and logged in to QQ, and wrote in the space, "People who are afraid of lightning don't deserve to be cared for." And accompanied by a picture with a gloomy tone.
Not long after the mood was sent, a friend message flashed in the lower right corner of the screen, and when I clicked on it, it was an account with the screen name "Heart Belongs", and this person was Yu Bo.
Yu Bo was a student Shen Pei knew when he was in driving school, three years older than her, when Shen Pei had just graduated from high school, and Yu Bo was in his third year of college.
When learning to drive, Shen Pei and Yu Bo were in a group, and they spent a lot of time together during those days of intensive training.
Yu Bo can be said to have fallen in love with Shen Pei at first sight, although Shen Pei was single at the time, and there were many people chasing her, but the position of the opposite sex in her heart seemed to be only Chen Erdong, so Yu Bo's confession came to naught.
However, Shen Pei is not disgusted with Yu Bo, after graduating from driving school, the two still maintain contact on QQ, but Shen Pei rarely takes the initiative to chat with him, it is nothing more than sending a wholesale canned message during the festival, during which the group of students who learned to drive had a meal, and it was also the only time they met after learning driving school.
"What's wrong, you're in a bad mood?" Yu Bo asked. Usually when Shen Pei is online, Yu Bo will also say hello, but Shen Pei just simply copes with a few words and won't talk much, but on this rainy night with thunder and lightning and the harm caused by her boyfriend, a word of concern from a friend is enough for her to get a short period of relief.
"Hmm." Shen Pei only replied with one word, although she felt a trace of warmth, she really didn't know what to talk about.
"Is Jincheng thundering?"
"Yes."
"You close the windows, close the curtains, and listen to the Walkman."
"It's not raining in there? Isn't there a thunderstorm all over the city today? ”
"I'm not in Jincheng, I've been working in Xi'an, I told you last time, did you forget?" Yu Bo did mention it to Shen Pei in a previous QQ chat, but how could Shen Pei care about the words of an ordinary male friend.
"Oh, sorry, I don't remember."
"You let your boyfriend accompany you, he won't be afraid of thunder, hahaha." This sentence poked Shen Pei's sore spot, but considering that Yu Bo was an unintentional mistake, she didn't want to be harsh.
"He's working overtime, I'm sleeping, thank you Walkman for the advice, 88." After typing this line, he went offline.
Shen Pei posted a lot of photos with Chen Erdong in QQ space, and she didn't set the viewing permission, so many people know that she is a famous girl.
Yu Bo on the other end of the computer stared thoughtfully at the brief communication between the two, and at the same time kept browsing Shen Pei's QQ space, he judged that Shen Pei must have quarreled with her boyfriend, and the quarrel was not light, because this was the first time he remembered that Shen Pei had revealed his heart on QQ.
