As soon as Qiao Peiyu left, Su Quinoa's life returned to its former peace.

It's just that in this small apartment, it seems that there is still his figure and breath in every corner, and she occasionally stares at the kitchen, dining table, and sofa.

These few short days of getting along with each other will always keep going back and forth in her mind.

Especially the picture of watching movies with him that day and playing various games in the game city is warm and sweet.

It's out of her reach.

So these pictures appeared in her dreams one after another, and it seemed to be understandable.

The car that Qiao Peiyu left for her, she never drove behind her, and she still squeezed the bus to work every morning.

This Saturday, the leader of another group, Zhou Qiong, had a birthday treat, and invited many colleagues, and Su Quinoa was among the invitations.

Su Quinoa doesn't like to participate in this kind of group activity, but she can't refuse a party like her birthday, so she can only agree.

Zhou Qiong booked a private room in a mid-range restaurant, and the party was in the evening.

In the afternoon, she drove to a shopping mall, struggled a little with gifts, and finally weighed the relationship and the standard of their current salary, and finally picked a 1399 bracelet.

In fact, there are a lot of brand new jewelry in her cloakroom that she hasn't worn before, which can be used as gifts.

But those jewels are valuable to their current salaries, after all, a bracelet can be their salary for half a year.

And there will be so many colleagues today, if the gift she gives is too eye-catching, it is easy to be regarded as a show and hatred.

At about six o'clock in the evening, she drove to the restaurant where the party was gathering.

She locked the car and happened to meet a few colleagues.

Among them was Zhou Qiong, and there were a few fresh faces, they were talking and laughing, and when they saw her, they were stunned, and immediately greeted with a smile.

"Su Quinoa, you came by car?"

Being stared at by so many people at the same time, Su Quinoa's expression was a little unnatural, she threw the car keys into her bag and nodded, "Hmm." ”

Originally, she was also going to do a bus or squeeze the subway, but the subway was not direct, and it took more than ten minutes to walk after getting off the subway.

After being silent for a few seconds, she saw that Zhou Qiong had already carried several gift bags of different colors in her hand, so she handed over the powder blue gift bag in her hand, "Team Leader Zhou, happy birthday." ”

"Thank you, you're too polite, just come directly, and bring some gifts." Zhou Qiong took it with a smile, "Let you break the bank." ”

After speaking, she introduced a few new faces to her.

It was her two best friends and her younger brother and cousin.

Her brother's girlfriend happens to be in their department, and she is a member of the same group as Zhou Qiong, and I heard that she was introduced by Zhou Qiong.

"This is my cousin Sheng Qianxun, 27 years old, working as a tester at a game company."

"This is a member of another group in our department, named Su Quinoa, who has a good personality, good ability, and is also serious in his work."

Su Quinoa always felt weird when she heard this sign, it was just a meal, and she would not meet again in the future, so she didn't need to introduce it so carefully.

The man named Sheng Qianxun smiled at her and stretched out his hand, "Hello." ”

He is quite tall, he should be 1.8 meters +, he dresses quite casually, not the mature kind, he should belong to the ordinary handsome guys.

Anyway, it's okay overall.

The other party had already greeted him in a friendly manner, and she couldn't wipe her face, so she could only stretch out her hand and shake him lightly, "Hello." ”

Sheng Qian looked for this very polite and gentlemanly, and when he shook hands, he only shook half a finger, and let go after touching her fingers lightly.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more weird and embarrassing, Zhou Qiong smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go in first, it's so cold outside." ”

When they got to the private room on the third floor, there were already three or five colleagues inside.

After watching them say hello and give them a circle of gifts, everyone took their seats.

Sheng Qianxun happened to be sitting next to her, and Ruan Fu was sitting on the other side.

The private room was booked a few days in advance, including the dishes, as long as everyone was together, the food could be served.

It's just that there are still three people who haven't come, so they are not in a hurry to serve the food, and the big guys are talking and laughing lively.

Sheng Qianxun on the side also talked to her without a stubble, "I heard my cousin say, are you from S City?" ”

Su Quinoa was stunned for a moment, looked back at him, and nodded, "Hmm." ”

"I'm from the north, isn't it cold in winter over there in S City? It doesn't snow either? ”

"Well, the average temperature over there is higher."

"That's good, it's very cold here in Nandu, and the year I first came, I really couldn't stand it." Sheng Qianxun said with a smile, "Next time I have the opportunity, I will also go to S City to play." Is there anything fun to eat over there? ”

Su Quinoa opened her lips and briefly said two places and a few delicacies.

Sheng Qianxun took advantage of this topic to talk again, and after about seven or eight minutes, the door of the private room was pushed open, and the three people who arrived late came, carrying a double-layer cake in their hands.

There was another bustle in the private room.

Su Quinoa just got up and smiled, but did not speak.

After everyone sat down again, Zhou Qiong asked the waiter to serve the food and drinks.

"What do you like to drink?" Sheng Qianxun suddenly turned his head and asked her.

"No, you don't." Su Quinoa was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head, "I can just drink warm water, I can't drink cold." ”

"Is it because your stomach is not good?"

"No, it's just that I don't like to drink cold in winter."

She didn't want to talk more about privacy, after all, it was the first time they met, and she herself was even more socially phobic of the opposite sex, and she was embarrassed and uncomfortable to say anything.

Zhou Qiong stood up at this time and raised a glass, "Thank you for coming to celebrate my 35th birthday, I am very grateful, this cup is my respect for you, you are free to do so, I hope everyone can have fun eating and having fun today." ”

With that, she drank all the wine in her glass.

The rest of the people all said 'Happy Birthday', and a few sweet-mouthed girls said two more words of blessing and raised their glasses to mean something.

Most of the people were holding wine in their hands, only two or three girls were holding drinks in their hands, but Su Quinoa was holding a glass of warm boiled water.

The dinner table has always been very lively, Sheng Qianxun doesn't seem to be good at drinking, he changed to a drink after the first drink, and he is also talking and laughing with others, and occasionally he can say a few words with Su Quinoa.

Halfway through, she got up and was about to go to the bathroom, but Sheng Qianxun thought she was going to take something and said to help her get it.

She smiled awkwardly, "I...... Go to the bathroom. ”

"Oh, sorry, I thought you were going to get the tissues over there." Sheng Qianxun raised his hand and scratched his head embarrassedly, and when he smiled on his face, his eyes were full of sparkling light.

Su Quinoa said 'It's okay' and was about to leave, but Ruan Fu on the side suddenly said, "Su Quinoa, I'm going to the bathroom too, let's go together." ”

"Okay."
