Chapter 5 chapter Five

Hong Kong in late autumn is not very cold, but it rains from time to time, which makes people very irritable. Kaiwen Cheng has been on business trips since that night, and I haven't seen him again.I know that he has been carefully caring for the distance between us, but whether it is the air humidifier he quietly placed on my table or the birthday cake I ordered by accident, I cannot accept it with pleasure. I also know this is all my problem. At noon, Zheng Kaiqi invited me to a western restaurant for dinner. Zheng Kaiqi ordered an Australian lobster enthusiastically, but the waiter looked at us, smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, our last lobster for today has just been sold out."

Zheng Kaiqi looked around at the guests and said, "There aren't many people today, why aren't there any?" "Because our orders are all airlifted directly from Australia, and the new ones haven't arrived yet, I'm afraid there won't be any lobsters these days. I'm really sorry. Ms. Ma'am, do you want to change to something else?" The menu opened in front of me. Zheng Kaiqi put the menu together and said, "No, I want to eat this today." The waiter was still standing there in a daze, Zheng Kaiqi suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Didn't you hear what I said!" It startled the waiter and scared me enough.The guests around couldn't help but look at us.I hurriedly kicked him under the table and said, "What are you doing, you will die if you don't eat lobster."

There was a manager at the side, when he saw Zheng Kaiqi, he immediately smiled like honey, leaned forward, nodded and bowed and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng. How about..." He was still unhappy, suddenly turned his face to look at the table next to him, and said with a sneer, "It's just eating...is it different?" His eyes were full of coldness. I followed Zheng Kaiqi's gaze inadvertently, and saw Zheng Kaiwen sitting on a table not far from us. He seemed to have noticed us too, so when my eyes collided with him inadvertently, he deliberately looked away.when did he come back?

I put my head down and fiddled with the fork with one hand. "Huh? Miss Liang, what a coincidence." Suddenly someone spoke behind me, and I saw that it was Mamega, the chief financial officer.This old man is very kind. In the beginning, our department manager always made things difficult for me. At that time, I couldn't fight back or scold me, but he often interceded for me.Over time, I also have a teacher-like respect for him. When I saw him, I hurriedly stood up and asked, "Manager Mai, what a coincidence." "The general manager invited me here to talk about something." He looked at Zheng Kaiwen who was sitting at the table, and whispered to me, "I'm most afraid of having dinner with my boss, and I can't digest it."

I laughed, and happened to notice that there was indeed a huge Australian lobster in front of Zheng Kaiwen, and I understood why Zheng Kaiqi was so angry all of a sudden.At this time, Mai Mijia looked at Zheng Kaiqi and then at me, and said with a smile: "The third son is also here, so I won't delay your meal." I sweat, the old man must have misunderstood. I sat down and said to Zheng Kaiqi: "Do you want to eat or not? If you don't eat, I will go." I was about to stand up when he suddenly took my hand and said, "I didn't say no. Sit down." I sat down and said, "You can eat whatever you say, right?"

"Then you need two set meals." Seeing what I said, the manager politely apologized, then turned around and left. Zheng Kaiqi drank the water in the glass in one breath, and the waiter brought up a plate of fruit. He was stunned for a moment and said, "We didn't order this." The waiter said: "This is the meaning of our manager. I'm really sorry to cause trouble to you two." He just picked up the fruit plate when he was slapped to the ground by Zheng Kaiqi.The fruit bones rolled all over the ground, and Zheng Kaiwen roared: "What is this, is it because I am afraid that I can't afford your food?"

I hurriedly grabbed Zheng Kaiqi: "Who are you angry with when you make such a fuss? You lost face yourself, and you let others read the joke. Are you afraid that there will be no headline about you in the newspaper tomorrow?" He stopped talking. The waiter was overwhelmed with fright, I nodded to him, he squatted down hurriedly, packed up his things and left in a hurry. I gently pulled Zheng Kaiqi's hand, and said in a low voice, "If you feel uncomfortable, let's change to another restaurant." He glanced at me quickly, smiled, and said, "It's my fault, I'm fine, let's eat."

The waiter quickly served the food and then walked away, I saw Zheng Kaiqi eating big mouthfuls, suddenly laughed, mixed the rice on the plate with a fork and said: "People say hungrymanisangryman, I believe it now." He couldn't help laughing, and I asked again, "Why did you ask me out today?" "Oh, I'd have forgotten if you didn't tell me." He put down his knife and fork excitedly and said, "Dad yesterday praised me for doing a good job in marketing and said that I would be in charge of the marketing promotion for this new project." I cheerfully raised my water glass and said, "Congratulations."

He touched his glass with a smile and said, "Thanks for your help preparing the materials last time. I should treat you to a good meal." "That's my job too." "Why don't we celebrate together tonight?" I shook my head and said, "Not today, I have to work overtime tonight." "Why? I'm afraid my second brother is not happy." The expression suddenly became serious, I stopped with my hands crossed, and laughed hurriedly: "What does it have to do with him?" He laughed happily again. When he laughed, he looked like an innocent child. I couldn't help but think that Jiang Yang was as pure and beautiful as him when he laughed in the beginning.Just don't know when, everything changed.

"Actually..." He put down his fork suddenly, leaned in front of me and said softly; "My second brother has been watching us." When I turned my head, I bumped into his nose, and he rubbed his nose with an ouch and sat down. However, Zheng Kaiwen's seat was already empty, so I snorted coldly: "Dare to lie to me, brat." Zheng Kaiqi took a sip of water and said, "Really...why are you so nervous, you are so afraid that my second brother will see it." I solemnly shook my head with a spoon in my mouth, "I have never had anything to worry about when I eat, even if Andy Lau is standing in front of me, I don't even look at it." I buried myself in a few mouthfuls of rice, looked at my watch and said, "I have to go back. Well, there is a meeting at 2:30 in the afternoon, and I have to finish the work at hand before the meeting."

I was about to stand up, when he suddenly pressed my hand and said, "Hey, I still have something to say. I'll wait for you at the RUZZI restaurant tonight, no matter how late, you must come." "I really didn't..." Before I had time to refuse, Zheng Kaiqi ordered me involuntarily: "You must come!" The meeting that afternoon was canceled for no reason. I thought I might see Zheng Kaiwen in the afternoon, but unexpectedly he never returned to the office.I was working hard in the office, and suddenly it was dark. I leaned on the chair and thought that there should be one thing I hadn't done, but I couldn't think of it. At this time, I suddenly saw a figure in the corridor, and I was nervous for a while, but that person had already walked over.I looked up and saw that it was Zheng Kaiwen.When he was alone, his figure was always so lonely, so cold.Just like on Binjiang Avenue at that time, it seemed that he was the only one in the whole world. He also saw the light in my office, and he came over and knocked on the door of my office. I pretended to be working and didn't see him. I didn't look up until he walked in and said, "Mr. Zheng, are you back?" He smiled, "Didn't you see it in the restaurant?" I wipe my sweat, I just won't lie. "Working overtime so late?" He had already come over and sat down opposite me. It seems that there are only two of us left in this huge floor. I feel that the air is a bit frozen and the flow is very slow.Time passed slowly bit by bit, and he finally reached out and closed the folder in front of me, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you home." Just as I was about to reject him, I said, "It's too late, it's not safe for you to go home as a girl." He looked at me, suddenly smiled and said, "You won't reject me again, right?" "Let's go then." I stood up. The car was parked downstairs, and we didn't say a word during the 30-minute drive. I felt as if I was sitting on pins and needles. At this time, I stretched out my hand to push the door of the car, and the night wind blew, and it was so cold that I remembered to turn around and say to him: "Mr. Zheng, thank you for taking me back." He looked at me until I got out of the car and walked away When I went to the apartment building and opened the door, I didn't say a word, and then I saw him back the car out of the community, and then turned to open the door. Is it just like this? It turned out that he just wanted to be like this. I can't help laughing at myself, why am I so lost. Suddenly a person hugged me from behind, and I screamed in shock, the person suddenly said in a low voice, "It's me." When I heard that voice, I was surprised: "Cage?" Sure enough, he was standing behind me with a smile on his face. I looked at him suspiciously and said, "Why are you here?" "I waited for you in the restaurant for a long time and you didn't come. The restaurant closed and kicked me out. I had no choice but to come here and wait for you. I guessed that you forgot about me. It turned out that you were going on a date with my second brother." gone." I looked at my watch, and it was almost twelve o'clock, so I hurriedly said guiltily, "I'm sorry, I worked overtime and forgot." "Then open the door soon, it's freezing cold." As soon as I opened the door, he rushed into the building immediately, and before the administrator had time to ask who the rabbit belonged to, he had already slipped into the elevator quickly. This incompetent administrator! "My second brother arranged this house for you?" He wandered around the room, touching things here and there: "It's not bad, I didn't expect my second brother to be very careful and girls like it." "Who said he pleases me." I went to the coffee machine and poured two cups of coffee, turned around, knocked over the two cups of coffee in my hand.Zheng Kaiqi didn't know when he was standing behind me, like a haunted ghost, staring at me with a pair of empty dark brown eyes. I was panicked by that look, pushed him away and asked, "What are you looking at?" "Do you like my second brother?" He stretched out his hand to trap me in his arms, and lowered his head close to the tip of my nose.I stood with my back against the wall in embarrassment, my body straightened involuntarily, but I looked straight at him without fear, and said righteously: "I don't like him." It's true, I don't like him.I dare not like him. "Really?" His voice was light and fluttering like a ball of cotton, tickling my ears.I was about to speak, but he had already kissed me, his lips were hot on mine, and the words I wanted to say stuck in my throat, my eyes were wide open, I didn't know what to do. "What about me……" I was dumbfounded by this sentence, but he had already pushed me down on the sofa. "Cage, it's not like this...what are you going to do...wait a minute...what are you talking about..." When I realized his intentions, I struggled hard. His body is as heavy as a mountain on top of me.My struggle was almost in vain. I reached out to reach for something on the tea table next to the sofa, but all the things within my reach left me, and even the desk lamp finally fell to the ground with a plop. The darkness overwhelmed me like his body. I know I can't escape, I never escaped. In the war of love, I have always been the loser. At that moment, he suddenly propped up his body with his hands and looked at me.We kept two fists apart and looked at each other in silence.The room was eerily quiet, and the desk lamp rolled on the floor was no longer on. At this time, I don't know if it touched the fuse, and there were two squeaks, and the whole room was plunged into darkness. He asked me: "Luo Xin, are you crying?" I don't even know when I cried. He pulled me to sit up, gently wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I was just joking..." The room was pitch black in an instant, and the moonlight outside was chaotic and disturbing. Suddenly a muffled thunder rolled over the head, followed by crackling raindrops falling on the glass windows. The landline suddenly rang at this time. He took the phone and handed it to me and said, "Are you answering the phone?" I took the phone, calmed down and said softly, "Hello? Who is it?" There was no voice over there.This kind of silence suddenly became very strange in the dark room. I said "Hello" again, but there was still no sound. Just as I was about to hang up, Zheng Kaiwen's deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you okay?" Hearing that it was him, I unconsciously glanced at Zheng Kaiqi.He seemed to be aware of it too, and stood up and walked to the window.I said, "Why do you ask that? I'm fine." I don't know why, but when I said this, I was suddenly scared. I felt that he seemed to be looking at me from somewhere, and I lied to him. Zheng Kaiwen paused and said, "It's nothing. I'm just worried about you...as long as you're okay." "I'm... just going to sleep." After finishing speaking, we were silent with each other. I lied to him. Over the past year, I have never lied to him. "One more thing." His voice was very low in the darkness. "Actually..." I already know what day he said, what day will there be between us.But I'm so afraid of him saying something that I can't accept, such as "I'm sorry".Often these three words are the most irresponsible performance. But he said: "...Actually, I have wanted to kiss you for a long time." My heart skipped a beat and fell back to its original position. His tone is still so light: "I won't disturb your rest, see you tomorrow." I hung up the phone, but I couldn't relax at all.I put down the phone and was about to stand up to turn on the light, but Zheng Kaiqi yelled, which made my hands tremble in fright, and I almost touched the power supply directly. "Come here." He motioned for me to go to the window. I walk up to him.He pushed me in front of him, pointed to a car on the side of the road downstairs and said, "Did you see it?" "What do you see..." I glanced through the rain-soaked window, only to see a row of cars... "Zheng, Zheng Kaiwen?" I suddenly opened my eyes wide and hit my forehead on the glass. Yes, I saw Zheng Kaiwen's car! Impossible, impossible... While comforting myself, I looked at Zheng Kaiqi and said, "How do you know it's his car if you can't see the license plate at such a distance?" "His car is custom-made, I don't know. And look..." He turned me around, pointed at the glass and said, "There are so many cars, only this one has windshield wipers, which means there are people in the car. " My heart was uneasy, like a thief who stole something, my hands were tightly clutching the front of my clothes.Why is he still downstairs in my house? Hasn't he already left?Could it be that he called me to ask me if he saw the lights in the room suddenly went out?Why?why…… It turned out that he lied to me too. "He must have seen me. That's why he saw the lights in the room suddenly went out, so he called to ask how you are." Zheng Kaiqi's answer answered my thoughts. It should be so, but why is it so? "I'm tired, let's go." I turned around and sat down on the sofa. He smiled and said, "If you say I go down, will my second brother kill me?" I froze for a moment, then said: "You deserve it, you deserve it if you kill me." He smiled and took my hand, "I know you can't bear it." I withdrew my hand coldly, "I will settle accounts with you slowly in the future. Forget it today, let's go to the bedroom, here are all the fragments of the desk lamp I broke just now, it won't be good if you prick your feet." We sat side by side on the edge of the bed in the bedroom, silently drinking the lukewarm water in the cup. He suddenly said: "Luo Xin, if I say I'm serious, are you willing to date me?" "I don't want to." Both of us are facing the window, and I believe he can see the expression on my face in the moonlight.But I didn't look at him, I heard him ask, "Is it because you have someone you like?" I have someone I like?No, it's not like, it's love.I used to love him so much, but when we were closest, he suddenly pushed me away violently.I will never forget that he said to me in a cold tone on the other end of the phone: "Liang Luoxin, let's break up." Without even giving me a chance to refute, he hung up the phone. Why do I still like him?Why still love him? I hate him. I lowered my head and looked at the water in the glass without saying a word. "Liang Luoxin, I like you." He suddenly held my shoulder and said, "Except for my mother, there is no other woman who cares about me so sincerely. I know you are really good... those people always want Looking at my jokes, they know that I am impulsive, that I have a bad temper, and that I am stupid and easy to be fooled. So they all wait to see my jokes, and hope that I will be hated by my father and my second brother. But you don’t Same." "Who are they?" I heard that he had something to say, so I asked back, but he didn't answer me. I looked at him and thought that everything that happened these days was moving faster than the plot of the TV series.I couldn't help laughing, he looked at me and said seriously: "Why are you laughing at me?" I shook my head and said sincerely, "Cage, I'm doing this because I'm really a good person, not because I love you." He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "You are right, you are really a good person, you are the kindest girl I have ever seen." No, I'm not kind at all.I curse that person in my heart, I hope he is unhappy, I hate him, I hate him with all my strength, so that I don't have time to forget. I put down the glass, went to the window and went downstairs to look, the car was still parked there. Zheng Kaiqi came over and said, "What? Are you going to go down and give the second brother an umbrella?" "That's right." I turned around to get the umbrella, Zheng Kaiqi grabbed me, and said angrily and funnyly: "Forget it, my second brother is not a fool, he won't come out in the car, what do you want?" Umbrella. Besides, he always carries an umbrella in the car, so you don’t need to deliver it. You went, not to slap him, he just said he was on his way home.” I patted my head, and now I am a fool. At this time, the window downstairs suddenly rolled down a little, and I stepped back involuntarily.Zheng Kaiqi smiled and said: "It seems that you really like my second brother." I countered: "I didn't." "Still stubborn, I think you care about him more than anyone else, and you can be so frightened across the room." I emphasized: "He is my boss." He laughed and said, "Don't tell me you have boss phobia." Why is this guy just like Jiang Yang, unforgiving. I thought about it, and then asked, "What if he doesn't leave overnight?" "It won't catch a cold. Even if he catches a cold, the servant will make cold tea for him." He looked at my bed, "It's such a big bed, it's just right for the two of us to sleep in." I gave him a sideways glance, "It's a good idea, you sleep on the floor." "I have asthma. If you let me sleep on the floor, you won't be afraid of my asthma attack." He deliberately took a breath.I saw that he had completely occupied my bed, so I rolled my eyes helplessly, took two quilts from the closet, threw one to him and said, "You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the sofa outside." "Hey!" Zheng Kaiqi sat up and said, "You are really going. Do you think I am a beast?" "No..." I smiled, "Young master, you have asthma. If you have an attack, I can't bear it." He smiled and said, "That's why I said we should sleep together." He let out half of the bed, pulled me to sit down and said, "Anyway, if it should be done, I did it just now. Are you still worried about me? Do you want to?" Draw a 38th line here... or put a bowl of water or something..." I glared at him with a smile in my eyes, and lay down next to him. It was a long night, a second seemed like an hour, and ten minutes seemed like a century. Zheng Kaiqi suddenly said: "You know, except lying down like this with my mother when I was young, I have never slept with a woman and chatted like this. I like being with you like this, really, I like it very much... ..." "That's because we are friends." I said without hesitation. "Friends?" He thought for a moment, then suddenly hugged me sideways, and whispered, "Yes, we are friends." I stared out the window in a daze, the raindrops crackled on the window glass, and it seemed to hit my heart. Is that person still in the car?Will he stay in the car like this until dawn?How cold the car is, how stuffy it must be with the heater on, the rain is annoying, annoying...
