Chapter 8 Chapter 7 What makes me stick to the end?

I think I must not be happy enough, at least not as flawless as it appears on the surface. Since this is the case, then what is it that keeps me going to the end? As for Xu Fei, she couldn't think about it. Just thinking about that man gave her a headache. This man is only twenty-seven years old, young and handsome, with a smile like the sun. He used to be her junior, and now he is her boss... Seriously?absurd! She is almost thirty, her promotion is not going well, she is tired of being in love, exhausted, and wants a marriage. This company and position are already tasteless to her.The entire Asian region is about to start another war, and the next bloody battle is foreseeable. Even if there is no ridiculous proposal from the new boss, she has already begun to think about quitting, which can be regarded as completely killing her intention to stay.

Years of training in the workplace, coupled with his personality, Qian Duoduo has always been an actionist who made a decision and worked hard to put it into practice. After thinking about it, he didn't go to sleep, just got out of bed and sat in front of the computer, opened the account to check the deposit. She was tired, and it was not impossible to change the company and fight again, but before that, she wanted to rest, to take a vacation, and to let herself completely put aside everything to catch her breath. After opening the account, she carefully counted the digits of the deposit.I have worked hard these years, and I have no time to spend money at all, and I have resentment when I am busy and embarrassed, but now I look at the numbers in the account, and I smile with satisfaction.

After turning off the computer, she walked to the terrace.It was too early, Mom and Dad's bedroom door was still closed, and it was quiet in the living room.Their family lived in an old house with two floors, and they occupied the entire upper floor.I grew up here, and there is an all-too-familiar sense of tranquility in the air, and I feel at ease walking with my eyes closed. The living room is connected to a large terrace. She walked over and opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains to let the gradually brighter sky shine in.The terrace is facing a large public green space, and the view is wide.It was the end of winter and the beginning of spring at this time, the air was cold, and the cold wind was blowing on her face. She was jittery, and then felt refreshed.

There was a voice calling from behind, it was my mother, "Duoduo, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Mother Qian had just woken up, she was still in her pajamas, she walked out of the room sleepily, and saw her daughter standing in front of the balcony window blowing the cold wind, she didn't understand the situation for a while, and she was a little cautious when she asked. She turned her head and smiled at her mother, showing all her white teeth, "It's okay, I have insomnia." My mother showed a surprised expression. The lights in the living room were not turned on, and there seemed to be mist in the morning light, but my mother's worried expression was still clearly discernible, presumably because she was frightened by her weird behavior.

It's her mother, the person who loves her the most in the world. Suddenly feeling sore and warm, Qian Duoduo walked over and hugged his mother's shoulders, leaning his head on her mother's shoulder intimately, "It's really fine, I promise." "Who knows what your child is doing, it's been like this since childhood. Didn't you say that you're going to fly to Hong Kong tonight? Why don't you sleep a little longer if you can?" Mother Qian regained consciousness, continued to poke her daughter's forehead, and immediately recovered The air of the past.

The sound of pots and pans colliding came from the kitchen, Qian Duoduo smiled and went back to close the window.In the morning light, there is a refreshing tree fragrance, flying over the nose.She smiled and suddenly felt confused, and then looked at herself on the window, the corners of her raised mouth seemed to lose support, and slowly lowered down.Not liking this expression, she tried again, forcing herself to raise the corners of her mouth again. Although he was determined to leave, Qian Duoduo was not reckless. After spending a morning writing a resignation report, he folded it up and put it in an envelope, and then quietly put it at the bottom of the drawer.

You can leave at any time, but she can't be so unprofessional as giving up halfway and quitting.The summary report of the Hong Kong annual meeting is an extremely important job of the marketing department. Before leaving, she decided to put aside all the factors that bothered her and concentrate on fighting the last battle. Even if she leaves, she must walk beautifully. It is indeed difficult to find a man who suits her, but it is also not easy to find a career that suits her. She just wants to leave this company and does not want to give up this line of work. Relying on oneself and relying on men are both thorny roads.Of course it's tiring to overcome obstacles by yourself, but you won't get nothing. Men are different.After all, they are another individual. They may stop for her, but they may not stay for her; they may stay for her temporarily, but they may not always stay for her.Even if she stays forever, she will be afraid that if she leaves someone behind, she will not be able to leave happiness.

The painful experience in the past is vivid in my mind. She who was once ambitious about love has been forced to retreat ten thousand steps by the reality, to the point where she only wants a contract. What is even more sad is that now that someone is willing to accept a contract, she suddenly loses confidence in her ability to execute the contract. There is no solution to coming and going, and it is a headache to think about it. Forget it, first solve the task in front of you, and then do the same thing again. After finishing these things, Qian Duoduo started to make preparations, packed his luggage and planned to rush to the airport.

Dad is also preparing to go out. Today he is reuniting with his old classmates. They are all friends for decades. It has been a long time since he has seen each other. He may be a little excited.Dad lost everything before leaving the house, and when he went downstairs, he remembered that he didn't take this with him and that, and went up and down a few times, which made Qian's mother lose her temper in the end. "Just meet those bad old men and old ladies, why are you so busy? If you don't know, you might think that you are going to meet your old lover." He always bowed his head to his wife, and Dad Qian didn't refute after listening, his expression didn't change much, he laughed twice and left.

On the contrary, Duoduo felt sorry for Dad, and asked after him: "Dad, where are you meeting? How about I take you there, and save you from taking the bus." "It's not too far. Duoduo, you're going to get on the plane at night, so don't be busy." Father Qian refused, and patted Duoduo before leaving, telling her to be careful when going out. When I turned around and started to pack things, my mother had already entered the kitchen and ran out to help when she heard the noise. "No need, it will be soon." Qian Duoduo said while doing it. The daughter's suitcase is kept in the corner of the door for standby all the year round, and the hand gestures are professional and skillful when packing the luggage.Notebooks, suits, flat shoes, put them all in their place, no need to think about it.Skin care products are all small items, packed in a transparent flight bag, simple and clear at a glance.

It took only 20 minutes for everything to be done. Qian Duoduo pulled the suitcase to the door and greeted his mother while bending over to put on his shoes. Mother Qian sighed as she watched from the side, went up to help her open the door, and said a few words: "You are quick to do this kind of thing, the firefighters are not as good as you, why is it so difficult to find a boyfriend?" In the past two years, any topic my mother said within ten sentences can be attributed to major events in her life. Qian Duoduo knew that something bad would happen if she stayed any longer. , to catch the plane and catch the plane." After speaking, he dragged his luggage and left in a hurry. When she arrived at the airport, it was still early, and the crowd around her was noisy. Instead, she felt relaxed. She went to the business class waiting room and turned on the computer to check emails, and sat and waited for Checkin to start. But she didn't wait for Xu Fei until boarding the plane.At first, she resisted contacting this man, but she couldn't wait any longer, and felt strange, so she finally reached out to touch the phone. When he touched it, he was stunned, but the phone was not in his bag. It suddenly occurred to me that when I came out, I felt as if I was fleeing, with my mobile phone in my hand, and when I pulled out the heels of my shoes, I put them on the shoe cabinet. I must have forgotten to take them. For her, going out without a mobile phone is like going out on a sunny day and forgetting to put on sunscreen. She feels uncomfortable no matter what, let alone this is a business trip.It was almost time for the plane to take off, and even if she grew wings, she would not have time to go home to get them. While feeling annoyed, suddenly a lady came over and bent over to speak: "Miss Qian Duoduo? Someone is looking for you." Turning around, she saw Ye Mingshen standing beside her.Surprised, Qian Duoduo stood up and asked, "Why are you here?" This man was always smiling in front of her, but this time he seemed to have something on his mind, with a hasty look on his brow.But seeing that she still raised the corners of her lips slightly, it was her mobile phone that was handed over. It was cold, just came from outside, his fingertips were a little cold, when he brushed her palm, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but flinch. "I called you, and my aunt answered, saying that you were on a business trip in Hong Kong and forgot your mobile phone at home." "Thank you." After a week, see you at the airport. He was in a hurry, his fingertips felt cool, and he was surrounded by travelers from all over the world. He was the only familiar face.Maybe it was because of the special environment, she suddenly felt close to him, but only felt close, her body didn't want to get any closer, and she was very conflicted in her heart. "I'm sorry, I'm so busy this week that I didn't even bother to call you." "It's okay, I just have something to deal with." He answered quickly, and then glanced at his watch, "Boarding the plane soon? I'll take you there." The queue for business class boarding was not long. Ye Mingshen had a clear goal. Although her steps were not big, she followed behind hesitantly, so after two or three steps, the two of them staggered a little distance, but he stopped quickly and turned back. Glanced at her. In fact, she was right behind him, less than three feet away, so Qian Duoduo could see his eyes very clearly. A trance flashed across his eyes for a moment, and then he returned to normal, reaching out and holding her hand naturally. This is not the first time he has held her hand.The last time she had a lot of money, she calmly accepted it, but this time, she resisted instinctively, just wanting to take back her hand. Before she moved her fingers, she suddenly laughed in her heart, laughing at her own stupidity. What are you kidding yourself about?Whether this person is right or not, who else knows better than his own body! Time was running out, and there was no time to rethink his wording, so Qian Duoduo shrank his hands and said three words directly: "I'm sorry." After speaking, I felt a little regretful, feeling that I was too straightforward, and the time and place were not good.This kind of thing should be said in a tactful way anyway, not giving others the buffer space, it is a bit too much. Looking up, he laughed, and naturally withdrew his hand, still waiting for her to take a step up before continuing to walk side by side. Qian Duoduo is sorry, the boarding gate is just around the corner.With the last few steps left, she said in a low voice, "Don't mind, it's all my problem, I didn't think about it." He stopped in front of the entrance and handed the trolley of the suitcase to her. He spoke more relaxedly than when we first met, "Duo Duo, don't force yourself. Only when you get what you really need will you be satisfied in your heart. Forcing is a burden." Well said, I have nothing to answer after talking about a lot of money.Pushed lightly on her back by him, she walked forward involuntarily, raised her eyes and saw the envious look from the stewardess standing outside the aisle, and couldn't help but look back again. He was still standing there, smiling slightly when he saw her turn around.No matter how restless she is, she has to praise Guangfeng Jiyue.It's rare for him to be so clear and transparent, even if he was rejected on the spot, he could continue to whisper and laugh with her. It must be very lingering in the eyes of others, no wonder all the women in the past showed envious looks on their faces. And she would have no feeling in the face of such a character, she was simply reckless. There was no time to think about it, the time was indeed approaching, and the plane waited for no one, so she waved her hands and walked.As soon as she walked into the aisle, there was the sound of hurried footsteps behind her. Her shoulders warmed up, and they gently rubbed against the shoulders of those who came after her. Suddenly looking sideways, the man was also looking down, maybe he was running all the way, and he felt a little short of breath.When the four eyes met, the man grinned, still dazzling in a hurry. Who else would laugh like this?Naturally, it was the director of their company who almost missed the plane. After laughing, he said, "Dora, why are you walking so slowly? If you keep standing like this, the cabin door will be closed." Speaking of which, who is rushing to the plane with every minute and every second?Qian Duoduo raised his eyebrows when he heard that.Before she had time to speak, she lightened her hand, and the only piece of luggage fell into his hands. The things she brought on business trips were originally simple, but now that he took them away, there was only a small personal bag hanging on her body.It has become a habit to go in and out of the airport these years, and it is really the first time that I can shake my hands and relax like this.It felt a little strange that she didn't even know where to put her hands. When she was fast entering the cabin, she glanced back, the aisle bends, Ye Mingshen's figure has long since disappeared, and only two stewardesses are walking this way.They talked in low voices as they walked, and when they saw her turn their heads and fell silent together, the contents in their eyes were complicated, and it was difficult to describe what they said. It is understandable that the two ladies were standing at the entrance of the passage just now, and in just two minutes, they saw two men appearing beside her. . Qian Duoduo sighed inwardly, feeling helpless. She didn't want to be like this either, and now even she herself didn't know what she wanted, so she could only watch the scenery around her drift by one by one. The seats in the business class are spacious, and after being seated, the stewardess began to get busy, bending over and smiling to remind everyone to fasten their seat belts, and she smiled sweetly when she walked up to Qian Duoduo.But she could see clearly at close range, all of them were facing Xu Fei, not her turn at all. The plane took off smoothly, and the surrounding area finally became clear. Qian Duoduo turned his head to look at the director sitting beside him.He was opening his laptop, but he didn't forget to look back at her with a smile, and explained: "I had a conference call at the company before, and I almost missed the plane. Fortunately, Lao Meng is good at technology." The scene of last night was still in front of him. Ever since he appeared by his side, Qian Duoduo was a little restless, lest he would have a whim at any time and continue that ridiculous question. But when I looked at him again, I saw only a side face, looking down at the document intently.He lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes couldn't hide the faint red shadow in the corner of his eyes, which was the result of staying up all night. After all, she is a woman, so if she doesn't open her mouth, she asks why she said such inexplicable things to her last night. After all, such a straightforward thing can't be done.So when the words came to his mouth, he changed the direction again, and all he spit out was an understatement: "Did you not sleep well last night?" "I received an emergency call in the middle of the night, got up to change the proposal, changed it to the morning, and then went directly to the company." He smiled.The stewardess brought the drink, bent over him and smiled sweetly, but he completely ignored it, took it and put it in front of her, and then continued to work. I wanted to ask him if he needed help, so he just sat beside him and read the documents, and he didn't mean to keep it secret.Qian Duoduo glanced at the screen casually, and the contents of the file were clear at a glance. With a glance, Qian Duoduo woke up abruptly, opened his eyes wide, and glanced at him. "What's wrong?" He asked in a low voice without looking up. Although only a glance, but the title is very eye-catching.The mass production of new beverages is already a big move to challenge the conservatives, but the method used is to acquire the number one fruit juice brand in China as the entry point. Such a drastic move is indeed a typical radical style. Thinking that he had unknowingly participated in the preparation process of those materials and proposals before, Qian Duoduo was secretly startled, calmed down before saying, "It's nothing, I'm a little sleepy." "Didn't sleep well last night? Are you on a date?" His fingers are beautiful, stretched and flexible when typing on the keyboard, and he hits the keys quickly. He even took time out of his busy schedule to respond to her, with a slight hook at the corner of his mouth, "I saw him coming just now." give you." His attitude made her feel confused, and those two words touched her nerves again.Dating?Alas, the fact is that she just had an amicable breakup with Mr. Perfect. Not knowing how to answer, Qian Duoduo simply skipped the question, just smiled and didn't answer. He didn't ask any more questions, and turned back to continue to focus on the matter at hand, "Sleep if you're sleepy, I'll call you when you arrive." Well, she turned her head sideways and closed her eyes graciously, suppressing the curiosity and anxiety in her heart.She was about to leave these troubles, it was not something she should intervene in, and she should not ask too much.Qian Duoduo decided to keep his duty from now on and take care of himself, of course it would be better to pretend to sleep. It was true that she was not too tired to hold on, and the stewardess cared a lot about their row of seats. The frequency and times of going back and forth far exceeded any of her previous flight experiences. From fake sleep to real sleep. But after all, it was a late flight, the cabin was quiet after the meal, and the sound of typing on the keyboard around her was repeated rhythmically, and she still felt a little sleepy in the end. Suddenly feeling warm on her body, she looked up and saw that he was lowering his head to cover herself with a blanket.He smiled apologetically because of her startled awakening. "It's cold in the cabin, be careful of catching a cold." The blanket had already covered her chin, and his fingers were under the tip of her nose. The faint woody fragrance came again, green and verdant, like a tree.what to do?She was mesmerized again, her heart pounding. Unable to guess the confusion in her heart, all Xu Fei saw was Qian Duoduo, who was still awake—looking at himself with his eyes squinted, his body covered in a gray blanket, revealing only a white face, without makeup, with a dazed expression . Like a small animal, very small and soft, at a loss in an unfamiliar jungle. This is Qian Duoduo, who is famous for being capable in other people's mouths?Why is Qian Duoduo in his eyes always different from others? He was serious when he said that sentence yesterday, but he didn't expect her to run away.He wanted to catch up, but then he felt that it was not good to push her too hard. Now seeing her reaction to him, he couldn't help feeling regretful in his heart. He hadn't closed his eyes for nearly twenty hours, and was thinking about how she would react. He was exhausted physically and mentally when he was rushing to the airport. When he arrived at the boarding gate, he saw her turn around and walk into the aisle. The man who had glanced at him stood there and watched her. It was a beautiful scene. But he didn't like it, he was so bored, he couldn't help speeding up and ran over, and when he saw her surprised eyes, he felt a little stupid. He saw her hesitation and defensiveness when talking to him and the avoidance after she glanced at the screen, and he felt a failure and a little frustrated.After all, he was young, had no experience in this field, and was not thick-skinned enough. He was afraid that she would reject her if he said something more, so he held back for a long time and only said a few irrelevant words. Later, when he knew that she was pretending to be asleep, he didn't try to expose it, but gradually slowed down the speed of pressing the keys, but he couldn't control himself, and looked at her in a daze from time to time. Qian Duoduo's eyes were closed tightly, she didn't realize it, but as time passed, her breathing gradually became even and gentle.She folded her hands in front of her body, and the interlocking fingers slowly relaxed.Fearing that she would really fall asleep and catch a cold, he asked the stewardess to bring a bed blanket and cover her again. Unexpectedly, she woke up immediately, it seemed that she didn't sleep deeply enough, or it was because of nervousness.Now she tensed up from time to time when she was close to him, which made him feel more and more frustrated. If she doesn't feel anything about herself, she can just say, why are you nervous?Isn't she afraid of him because of his status as director?It shouldn't be, at the beginning, she had a tense relationship with him because of that drunken misunderstanding, and she had a tit-for-tat relationship with him. Now that the misunderstanding has disappeared, she has started to feel uncomfortable. I don't know what he's thinking, I only see myself in this man's black pupils.With an irregular heartbeat, Qian Duoduo reached out and grabbed the blanket, calmed down before speaking: "Thank you, are you... finished?" "It's almost there. We'll talk about the rest at the hotel." He sensed her carelessness, and felt more frustrated.He smiled when he spoke, but as soon as the corners of his lips were flattened, he showed fatigue, and his usual spirit was gone. I didn't want to discuss this topic, and I couldn't think of anything else to say for a while. Just in time, the stewardess came over to deliver drinks. Qian Duoduo just asked for a glass of water, took the glass and said thank you, and then lowered his head to drink water to hide his lack of words . He asked for coffee, and the coffee on the plane was bland.There was no sound at all when he drank, Qian Duoduo couldn't help looking out of the corner of his eyes, and saw that he only swallowed one sip, and then stared at the dark night outside the porthole in a trance. The plane has begun to lower its altitude slowly, passing through the clouds at a slant, and gradually, the world-famous night view of Hong Kong slowly unfolds in front of our eyes like a scroll.The lights on the ground are colorful and prosperous, as if the sky is full of stars, and the Tsing Ma Bridge is like a ray of the Milky Way passing by. When landing, the airport is brightly lit, like daytime. Many people in the cabin were busy talking, and there were tourists who were eager to stand up to pick up their luggage and prepare to get off the plane, but he was always in a trance, with a tired profile, and the brilliance of the city seemed to be just a vague background, as if it was another world. Fighting alone is exhausting after all, no matter how young and energetic he is, he will always feel tired when mediating among those old and cunning guys! There had been times in the past when she had struggled in the factional vortex and felt powerless, but that was nothing compared to his level.Even so, Qian Duoduo still feels empathy when seeing his rare fatigue up close. The original vigilance and tension suddenly disappeared, and I instinctively didn't want to let this scene continue, but I didn't know how to interrupt it.She hesitated for a few seconds, and moved her fingers holding the glass of water. In the end, her willpower prevailed, and Qian Duoduo still chose to remain silent. The company sent a special car to wait at the airport. When they arrived at the hotel, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.The lobby was magnificently decorated, when they walked into the revolving door, someone inside was walking out, and suddenly smiled at Xu Fei when he turned around. It was a Japanese woman, wearing a neat suit with her hair rolled up, completely different from the gentle and graceful appearance of Japanese women in Qian Duoduo's impression.Xu Fei also smiled, and pulled her over to introduce her. "Dora, this is Keiko Yamada, my colleague when I was working in Japan. Keiko, this is Qian Duoduo, senior manager of the marketing department in China." Qian Duoduo was taken aback for a moment, she had heard of this name before.Keiko Yamada was born into a wealthy family. Her father was one of the shareholders of UVL and also took a seat on the board of directors. She has always appeared in the company as her father's special assistant and is a famous daughter. "Kerry, long time no see." Keiko Yamada looked at him with her hands in front of her and smiled. Then she turned her eyes to Qian Duoduo and reached out to shake hands with her. "Miss Qian, it's my first time meeting you. Nice to meet you." Qian Duoduo responded immediately, a little surprised by Keiko's Western style.She doesn't have much contact with Japanese women. Marumi is a typical traditional Japanese style, with cumbersome etiquette in speaking and doing things. Now she encounters such a big contrast, and she is really uncomfortable. The three stood and chatted for a few words.Keiko Yamada spoke in a polite and polite way, talking about the simplest recent work situation, but for some reason, Qian Duoduo always felt that she couldn't get in the way. Later, when she talked about the Japanese marketing department, her voice was very low.Xu Fei frowned, then lowered his head closer to her, and asked, "Huh? What did you say?" Feeling that standing next to him was awkward, and suddenly felt bad, Qian Duoduo said goodbye: "Kerry, Keiko, you talk, I'll go up first." After finishing speaking, he nodded and went in without waiting for Xu Fei to stop him. The hotel booked by the company is still Hyatt, and the rooms are spacious and comfortable.However, Qian Duoduo felt that he had never been so tired after flying for two or three hours. When he saw the bed, he couldn't help it, and he dropped his luggage and lay down directly. Originally I just wanted to take a rest and start tidying up, but I fell asleep in a daze, and I was awakened only when the mobile phone in the bag rang loudly.She sat up to touch it, and when she picked it up, her mother's voice was louder on the other end, "I don't know how to call home when I arrive, I wonder if Mom and Dad will be worried?" Duoduo said sorry and said a few more words. In just a few minutes, my mother took the time to praise Ye Mingshen.Mentioning Ye Mingshen gave her a headache, and she couldn't refuse to discuss it with her mother. Once she showed the intention of refusing to discuss it, her mother would give her a scolding. So Qian Duoduo had no choice but to hew and haw, to deal with it here, with his mother's nagging in his ears, but he couldn't help recalling the scenes with that man in his mind. She knew why her mother liked Ye Mingshen - he had a decent job, a good-looking talent, and a gentle personality. Such a man was the dream object of all married women, and no one could find a thorn in his critical eyes. It's so perfect, why can't she still accept it?Is it because you don't feel the spark?No matter how old you are, you still have sparks!Self-immolation again and again, still not good? No wonder people say that older women are weird. She used to think it was all bullshit, but now, even she herself feels that there is something wrong with her brain. Mom was still rambling over there, Duoduo dared not say that she had rejected such a perfect Mr.Please forgive me!When he finally hung up the phone, Qian Duoduo was extremely helpless, and it was already past ten o'clock.Alas, if things don't go well at work, you can cut the mess quickly, and you can choose to leave, but what about life?After all, they are her own relatives, and her mother is waiting for her to give an explanation before she can give an explanation to all relatives and friends.Everyone has pressure, and she has to implement it in the end.well!She hasn't reached menopause yet, why does she already feel overwhelmed? Distraught and sleepy, Xu Fei and Yamada Keiko's familiar conversation just now kept spinning before his eyes.Qian Duoduo felt that he would only mind if he was sick, but he couldn't restrain himself from thinking about that scene.More and more upset and hungry, she stood by the window and gnawed her fingernails, the more she thought about it, the more hungry she became. It wasn't the first time she came to Hong Kong for a meeting, and Hyatt was a hotel she often stayed in. She still remembered that there was an extremely delicious porridge shop on a street.Too lazy to think about it anymore, she decided to leave all her troubles to tomorrow, decided to indulge her appetite to satisfy herself, grabbed her bag and pushed the door, and went out. As soon as he went out, he saw that the door next to him was opened at the same time, and it was Xu Fei who came out, wearing a hoodie and sneakers, and changed back to the street clothes when they first met. "Are you finished chatting?" Seeing him appearing alone, I felt a little happy in my heart. "Well, it's been a while." He walked to her side and spoke, the steps were not big, but it felt like miraculously reaching her in an instant. "Why are you dressed like this?" "Want to go for a run. Together?" running?Qian Duoduo looked down at his watch in surprise, didn't he say he hadn't slept for more than 20 hours?Still want to run?Is he superman? He was still waiting for an answer, and just smiled after seeing her surprised expression. Xu Fei usually dresses formally in the company, but his current attire is far from the image of a director he is used to.He was dressed casually, and his smile was even more dazzling.Although Qian Duoduo has long been used to it, he still feels a little dizzy at this second. Jealous, she really wanted to be Snow White's stepmother, holding the magic mirror and asking where her youth had gone, and smashing it with a fist before it could speak. "You go out for a run like this? Our colleagues are everywhere here." He looked down at himself, "Isn't it?" "Like a college student who sneaks in, aren't you afraid they won't let you into the venue tomorrow?" "It's okay, I just said that I'm here for an internship, and I don't want money for nothing." The BOSS joked again, Qian Duoduo immediately gave a face-saving smile, walked to the elevator after laughing, and rejected his proposal, "I'm hungry, I'm going to eat." Just kidding, it's too late for her to hide from this man!run together?forget it. He walked forward side by side with her. Qian Duoduo, who is very experienced in flying, was dressed lightly and comfortably today, but now he was still wearing the same cropped trousers with flat shoes.It's cold in Shanghai. Before boarding the plane, she was wearing a thick short coat, which has long since been taken off. Inside, there is only a white cashmere sweater with a flat collar, and a long scarf casually draped around her neck. He wanted to talk, but the phone rang and he stopped to answer it.Naturally, Qian Duoduo didn't wait for him, he didn't stop walking, and walked a few steps forward into the elevator. The hotel is in Sha Tin, and the street is wide. At this time, it was past ten o'clock, and there were no people on the street. Qian Duoduo was focused on food, so he kept his eyes on the road and walked in a hurry. There were laughing and chatting in front of them, and several young people came over, men and women dressed in fashion, hooking shoulders and backs and laughing at each other, as if rushing to a nightclub.She walked with her head down and didn't pay attention. When she passed by, she was hit hard, and her feet staggered. She looked up and stared, and one of the group whistled limply, "Pretty girl, what's the matter?" She doesn't speak Cantonese, but she can still understand the teasing meaning in this sentence.Qian Duoduo burst into anger, and opened his mouth to reply. As soon as the words fell, those people strode towards her.At close range, Qian Duoduo finally saw the situation in front of him clearly.These young people with colorfully dyed hair, chewing gum in their mouths, looked at her unkindly.It was a cold day, and one of the girls had a large white waist exposed, and a red and black tattoo could be vaguely seen extending down. The street is quiet and there are few pedestrians. No matter how confident you are, you know that something bad will happen.Qian Duoduo secretly swallowed, and couldn't help but backed up a little. I didn't expect that there was someone behind me, and I bumped into it as soon as I retreated.She turned her head hastily, and smelled the familiar woody fragrance before she could see the man's face clearly. "Kerry?" "En." He replied, then wrapped his arms around her shoulders lightly, and in the blink of an eye, only a broad back was left in front of Qian Duoduo's eyes. He stood in front of her and talked to the group of people, a series of fluent Cantonese.This man was dressed in the street today, and he was always good at talking to people, talking nonsense, talking in a few words, and then he laughed with them and patted the shoulder to say goodbye to each other. When the group of people left, she had been passively pulled under his shoulders.He is tall and has long arms, wrapping around her shoulders naturally, his body seems to be trapped in a small independent world. Qian Duoduo still had some lingering fears, and she couldn't help getting close to the body of the man beside her.The velveteen outer layer of his hoodie was soft and warm against his cheeks.He should have just taken a shower, and the faint scent of trees became clearer. After falling in love last time, it has been a long time since she had such an intimate feeling. She is not used to it, and her whole body froze. But the warmth of velveteen and the scent of trees slowly bewitched her, her ear was pressed against his left chest, the powerful and gentle heartbeat sounded like some kind of primitive music, gradually relaxing her. The group of people finally left. Before leaving, the tattooed girl looked back and forth at her and Xu Fei with unimaginable eyes, her expression could be read by the whole world, "How did a woman like you hang him up? It doesn't match! " After being huddled in such a small warm space for a long time, Qian Duoduo was already a little lost in thought, but at this moment she suddenly woke up after being stared at, straightened up and backed away. Come on, she never goes well with this kind of streetwear, does she? Xu Fei was not surprised by her sudden retreat, he retracted his hands naturally, put his hands in his pockets, and smiled at her with his head down, "Dora, are you okay?" He did him a big favor just now, and Qian Duoduo was too embarrassed to ask what he had said before.Why do you have to hug yourself to solve the problem? As if that action never happened, she thanked first: "Thank you, thanks to you just now." "It's okay, this kind of thing happens everywhere. Be careful, you girl." Qian Duoduo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he called her a girl, and it was so natural, as if she was the kind of child who left her parents without authorization and was just picked up by him by doing good deeds every day. "Aren't you going to run?" Forget it, don't argue with your immediate boss, Qian Duoduo reminded him. "I'm a little tired, and I want to eat something." He was still laughing, but his voice was not as energetic as before, it was lowered, and he was vaguely hoarse. It turned out that he was not made of iron, this was Qian Duoduo's first thought. As a matter of course, the final result was of course that the two of them went to the porridge shop together.It's not the first time, she sat down and ordered ginkgo porridge, and told him you're welcome, today she treats him. The so-called very delicious porridge shop is actually the most common kind of street tea restaurant, which is opened close to the residential area, with soft seats like train seats, tiled walls, and a very simple menu. The silk stocking milk tea is creamy and sticky, and the ginkgo porridge is fragrant. Qian Duoduo is really hungry, so he can't care about the gentleness, so he ate it first. The same goes for him, neither of them said a word, and they held the food in front of them without looking up. Although she didn't look up, she was sitting very close to each other after all, and she could see the other party's situation clearly from the corner of her eyes.Halfway through the meal, Qian Duoduo suddenly couldn't help it, raised his head and said, "Yesterday, you were joking, right?" He was also looking up, but didn't answer after listening, looked at her, rolled his eyes and smiled, and continued to eat. Being slightly relaxed by his smile, Qian Duoduo added: "Are you hungry?" "Yeah, eating on a plane is like not eating. What about you?" "A little bit, but not all. I have a bad habit. The more I get annoyed, the more I want to eat." To tell the truth, she lowered her head and continued to eat. "Aren't you afraid of getting fat?" I usually meet a lot of professional women, and they are reserved in every possible way when getting along. There are few people who eat so unscrupulously like her, so every time I see her eating, I feel it is a kind of enjoyment. "Sir, think about those disaster victims. It's good to eat some. Cherish the blessings, okay?" He smiled, "Okay, it's a good habit to eat when you're bored." "Who is like you? You still run when you are tired. The habit on the African grasslands is also a good habit." She was used to being eloquent, and she returned quickly. After speaking, she realized that the man sitting in front of her was the man she should avoid now.有点儿怪自己口快，钱多多赶紧用勺子塞住自己的嘴。 她说话的时候是笑笑的，举勺子的时候小巧的舌尖在她的唇间一晃而过，刚才还觉得很疲倦，忽然觉得欢喜，那些疲倦竟一瞬间消失了。 没听到回答，钱多多含着勺子看过来，特地补充说明：“说笑啦，别介意。” 他没有介意，这都是他自己的问题。因为对一个人有了好感，所以看到她每一个细微的动作都觉得愉快。 勺子还在嘴里，她等来等去等不到回答。眼前的男人不说话，慢慢地眼睛弯起来，笑意流露，但是仍旧不出声。 茶餐厅熙攘热闹，最简单的长条白炽灯管投下的灯光明亮，照得四下亮如白昼。身边有人大声交谈，跑堂的端着平盘穿梭来去，一边还直着嗓子叫菜：“哪位的生滚鱼片粥？三杯奶茶马上到。” 在这样嘈杂的氛围里，她竟觉得恍惚，又好像有了幻觉，仿佛一切都已经远离，这世上只剩下他眼里的笑意，暖暖地浸没了她。 这顿饭吃了很久，他们走出餐厅的时候街上万籁俱寂。初春的晚上，风里凉意柔软，街灯明晃晃地照射下来，照得平坦的路上一层橘黄色的光。 到底是晚了，又没穿外套，钱多多吸气的时候用双手掩住脖子两侧。 “冷吗？”他侧头看过来，手指在身边动了动。 酒店遥遥在望，短短一段路，两人平行，地上影子交互错落，有时纠缠在一起，有时又各自散开。钱多多不觉得冷，那种恍惚的感觉还在，她并没有喝酒，但就是仿若三分醉，居然感觉想傻笑。 “还好。你呢？” “我？”他笑出声，“怎么可能？” How is it impossible?真好笑，不过全身都感觉到松弛愉快，她只是微笑了一下。 还有几步就到酒店门口了，这时他的步子慢了下来，渐渐地竟落在了她身后。走了几步发现身边没人了，钱多多站定回头。 “多多。”他就立在她身后不远的地方，看着她，“可以这样叫吗？” “嗯？”那种微醉的感觉还在，她居然毫无警惕心地又“嗯”了一声作为反问。 他开口前笑了一下，但是语气肯定，不带一丝笑意。 “那不是玩笑，我是认真的。” God!again? 被震住了，钱多多居然被吓得控制不住自己的身体，突然往后退了一步。 脑子里天人交战，她徘徊在断然拒绝和拔腿飞奔的两个极端选择中。眼前的男人不动弹，静静地立在原地等答案，脸上的表情很执著。 街上清静无人，沙田的万家灯火全在他身后。繁华作背景，他独自立着，轮廓清晰，但感觉有点儿突兀。 心里仿佛有一头潜伏了多年的小兽在那间关着的小房子里蠢蠢欲动。忽然鼻子酸起来，步子也迈不动了，话也说不出来了。为了压抑那种奇怪的感觉，她努力低下头不看他，眼前只剩下自己投射在地上的那个影子，孤零零的。 橘黄色的街面，黑色斜长的孤单影子，忽然有另一个影子覆盖上来。她来不及吃惊，身体已经被抱住，葱茏木香扑面而来，脸颊擦过柔软的平绒，然后是他温暖的嘴唇。 许飞等不到她的回答，只看到她在自己面前低下头。黑色的头发安静地发亮，发梢顺着肩膀落下来，垂落在她白色的脸颊边。 他只想伸手去拂开，好让自己看清她的表情，可是指尖一旦伸出去，就不受自己的控制。她仿佛是一块巨大的磁石，身体的本能快过意识，下一秒自己就已经吻了上去。 记忆里纠缠了她数月的那个瞬间又回来了，舌尖湿润的甜味，鼻端呼吸纠缠。这一次没有喝酒，身体的反应却更加敏锐，耳边仿佛听得到空气中一个个小火团爆开的声音，幸福感强烈到令自己发抖。 知道自己失控，但又控制不了，他吻得深长，气息灼热，揽住她的双手很有力。 分开的时候，他把额头抵着她的头想说话。嘴唇一旦分开，清冷空气将她仍旧湿润的唇刺激得微微一抖。太刺激了，她猛地往后退了一大步。 吸口气让自己镇定，可是心中翻腾，手指颤抖。许多话在唇边冲撞，怕自己开口就会胡言乱语，她努力了半天才吐出几个字：“Kerry，别这样。” “为什么？”他反问。 “我比你大。”她说事实，说给他听，也说给自己听。 “那又怎么样？我妈还比我爸大八岁呢。” I see!钱多多眉毛动了动，果然是强势的家族遗传。 “我们在一个公司，是上下级，怎么可能？” “有关系吗？”他表情疑惑，“我不在乎那些。” “我在乎！”被他气死，钱多多叫了一声，然后撇过头咬牙切齿，“我不是那些二十出头的小女孩，要玩别找我。” “我说了我是认真的。”他眉毛皱起来，又重复了一遍。 “我也是认真的！”她吼回去。 他沉默了，钱多多一口气泄下来，突然感到莫名沮丧。 她对他有感觉，否则不会这样心乱如麻，不会这样忐忑不安，但她真的累了，不想再恋爱。恋爱做什么？恋爱就能有结果？恋爱就能让她从现在这一切的烦恼中解脱出来？ 叹息了，她心灰意冷，想离开，但是脸上一暖，是他的手掌覆上来。他捧着她的脸颊，好像是捧着她的心。 耳边有声音，很低，是他又重复了一遍，“别害怕，我是认真的。” unacceptable!怎么都说不通！ 鼻梁酸胀，眼角刺痛，仓促间她闭起眼睛，唇上又有吻落下来。身体软弱，她再没办法抗拒那样强烈的渴望，钱多多又叹息了一声，慢慢地回抱了他。
