Chapter 20 Can I add WeChat? He is her work colleague, but...
Chapter 20 Can I add WeChat? He is her work colleague, but...
noisy whispers. Indecisiveness.
Countless burning eyes, roasting on Li Su's back.
She recovered from her memory and realized that the temperature of her fingers almost warmed the wine glass. She was shocked: it seems... I hugged too long.
It seems... I really couldn't help it and hugged Xu Shen tightly.
The crowd was still tentatively instigating, and the cedar scent lingered around her like a spell. Li Su's mind was shaken.
Oh, right, the big cup.
Li Su raised her head, but only saw Xu Shen's broad shoulders, blocking her at the top of her head.
She tried to raise her hand, the red wine swayed at the bottom of the glass, and the arm behind her was tightened, as if to keep him.
It was too tight.
Li Su sighed silently, but still moved her body, showing a tendency to push away.
The tall figure froze for a second, and then let go too happily.
Xu Shen took two steps back and stood in front of Li Su. He looked at her with a thick gaze and a refreshing taste.
"Li Su, Mr. Xu has finished his wine, but you haven't touched your wine yet?"
"The difference is a bit big--" Under the heavy gaze, Li Su tapped her heels, compared her petite stature to that of the man who was smaller than her, and smiled innocently. "I can't drink it."
Xu Shen sneered, stretched out his hand to Li Su, and said in a light voice: "Don't drink if you don't want to."
Li Su's smile froze slightly, she squinted slightly, disgusted and ashamed, she turned her head, saw the wine on the table, and took it. She
hooked Xu Shen's wrist with the bottle and asked him to raise his glass again. Li Su raised her hand and poured him another glass.
The red wine poured into the glass, stirring up a rich wave, and the thick and mellow fragrance was intoxicating.
Li Su looked at Xu Shen, the slight alienation in her eyes seemed to remind her, she smiled brightly and politely, "Then let's have a small toast, okay?"
Li Su walked closer and stretched out her arm, her skin was as white as jade, a porcelain color.
Xu Shen's eyes sank, he stretched out his hand, and intertwined with her wrist.
Her body temperature was very cold, his body was hot, intimately toasting, wrists touching.
Li Su raised her eyes and saw Xu Shen's eyes, like a whirlpool, pulling people down.
Deep, hot, ambiguous, but refreshing, clean, and lukewarm.
Li Su turned her head away in embarrassment, raised her head, and drank the wine.
With the corners of her mouth raised, Li Su's eyes were calm, but her tone was very enthusiastic: "Mr. Xu, thank you so much for today. It's my fault for not understanding the rules. This time I really remember it, and there won't be a next time."
Let go. Xu Shen's eyes flashed dark, and in the stagnant atmosphere, he took a few steps back slowly.
In just a short while, the host who was close to Xu Shen had already walked over and stood aside.
Seeing Xu Shen stepping back, he quickly put his arm around Xu Shen's shoulders and invited him to walk back, while thanking God and comforting him: "Brother, you gave me such a face today, thank you so much."
The tall figure passed by Li Su's sight and gradually walked away.
Huh - Li Su sat back slowly as if she had been pardoned, lowered her head, and avoided the question.
Zheng Ting glanced at Li Su, and seeing her attitude, he no longer forced her, but took the lead himself, walked around her, and held the shoulder of Liu Jia, who had been neglected for a long time, holding the wine glass.
"Brother, I'm sorry today. I haven't taught this thing you brought yet." Zheng Ting's voice was neither loud nor soft, and he whispered a few words in Liu Jia's ear while suppressing the noise.
Li Su heard it clearly. She heard Zheng Ting say, "She is not good at kung fu. She is so stiff that she can't sleep well. I will give you two powerful ones. They will make you feel comfortable. Don't drink too much. It will be fun to play while awake."
It was hard to describe. The two men smiled knowingly, with many bad ideas that could not be wiped away.
Li Su's cheeks flushed instantly. She wanted to glare at Zheng Ting and ask him why he said such unfounded words, but when she turned her head, she couldn't help but look at Xu Shen.
Coincidentally, Xu Shen also turned his head and met her eyes.
His dark eyes were like water, which aroused coldness. It was astonishment, confusion, and disbelief. He retreated with pain and dared not speak.
That look hurt Li Su, and her heart instantly became cold and hard. She turned her head away with a wooden face and said nothing.
Forget it. That's it.
At least, as Zheng Ting's "woman" in name, when everyone is mean, you should respect him a little and be more modest.
In this situation, it was not appropriate to argue about Zheng Ting's words and strive for one's innocence. To make the best of a bad situation is actually a kind of protection.
Li Su lowered her head, deeply lowered her head, and looked at the tip of her shoes.
Zheng Ting had finished the wine in his glass, and he half-reluctantly pushed Liu Jia back to her seat.
When he turned back to his seat, his hand swept across Li Su's body, and patted her shoulder soothingly.
Li Su looked at him sideways without knowing what was going on.
Zheng Ting's eyes lingered on her cheek for a while, and he smiled tolerantly and considerately, with a sticky ambiguity.
Zheng Ting pulled his seat next to Li Su, shortening the distance, and when he sat down again, he moved his body closer to her.
His clothes brushed against her body from time to time, rubbing against her. That was his protection, his entangled mood.
Soon, Li Su found that no one came to tease her anymore. No one came to get to know her anymore.
It was boring. Li Su passively watched Zheng Ting communicate with other people at the table. She knew: she had completely lost the value of her position and became a man's appendage.
She didn't do it. She had already lost, lost to Li Xiaoqing, lost to mental cleanliness, lost to self-esteem and shame, and nothing was left.
But...but...
why did Xu Shen have to see all this?
The wine and the chips were no longer related to her. Li Su sat for another hour as if in a trance, and then followed Zheng Ting out of the hotel lobby after the game was over.
The October wind was finally not so hot, and it flowed on people's faces like warm jade, just dispelling the cold wind that had been lingering around them.
Li Su looked at Zheng Ting standing in front of her, almost speechless, even bored.
The doorman at the parking lot was directing the cars to come in one by one. Zheng Ting saw his car and waved to the driver.
"Mr. Zheng, I'm leaving first." Li Su pointed in the direction of the subway.
"Why are you walking around after drinking?" Zheng Ting's expression was easygoing and indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
The car had already arrived. Zheng Ting walked forward, opened the back door, and said to Li Su, "Get in the car. I'll take you."
"I can just take a taxi." Li Su sneered, her eyes were a little cold, and she glanced at Zheng Ting without hiding her guard. Everything was self-evident.
Zheng Ting touched his nose and explained lightly, "A new girl has come out, and everyone is just joking with you. Don't worry, no one will settle accounts with you."
When Li Su heard this, she immediately felt angry. She took a heavy step back, as if to distance herself from the matter, and turned her face away.
"Thank goodness for your generosity. Okay, I'll go to your office tomorrow for tea and thank you." Li Su's tone was indescribably angry, but she sarcastically said, "Boss Zheng, go home quickly to save your sister-in-law from waiting."
Zheng Ting didn't say anything. He looked at Li Su, and gradually, his eyes passed through her.
The tall and straight figure walked towards Li Su step by step, and his goal became clear and distinct.
Zheng Ting's originally cold and hard face slowly dissipated. His brows frowned, then relaxed, and his attitude was vague.
"Oh, did I bother you? Do you have an appointment?" Zheng Ting's tone was very light, and he asked her with a smile: "With Boss Xu?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Su retorted with disgust, and the good face she had been trying to hold back finally showed a hint of impatience.
"Hey, behind." Zheng Ting sighed helplessly, put his hands in his pockets, and raised his chin behind Li Su.
Li Su felt puzzled. She turned around and saw Xu Shen walking silently behind her.
The tall shadow was cut into countless waves by the light and shadow. His eyebrows were deep and his eyes were dark. The distance was far away and slowly got closer.
"Li Su--" Xu Shen walked in front of Li Su, half a meter away.
His soft hair was messed up by the wind, and his eyes were moist and tender. He didn't show any sharpness, as if he was a soft inkstone that could be kneaded.
"I'll take you there." Xu Shen's tone was soft, and it was a discussion without any bottom line.
Li Su's heart suddenly panicked for no reason, and she smiled stiffly. It was hard to explain the uneasiness and fear in her heart.
Her mind was still replaying the look Xu Shen gave her just now.
With Xu Shen in front and Zheng Ting behind, Li Su made a decision almost instantly, a desperate decision: she would rather face Zheng Ting.
"We have a car." Li Su pulled the corner of his mouth, raised his thumb, pointed at the door that Zheng Ting opened and said, "We are ready to go. What about you? Is there anyone to take you there?" The
sky, like a total lunar eclipse, darkened in an instant.
Xu Shenchun's sunny face suddenly became gloomy and pale, tearing apart the gentle love and revealing a bone-chilling inferiority and possession.
"It's not suitable." Xu Shen raised the corner of his mouth and smiled indifferently and coldly.
He looked up at Zheng Ting, not hiding the emotions in his eyes, reminding and questioning, he said: "Mr. Zheng, the oldest of your three children is 12 this year. I think you should go home early."
"Haha." Zheng Ting smiled cooperatively, his eyes wandering between the two.
The girl, like the moon, stood there stubbornly, as if she would rather break than bend, her back was straight, the wind lifted her skirt, and her straight legs were shining white in the moonlight.
The boy, who looked like ink, stood casually opposite, with his hands clenched into fists, hanging on both sides, his eyes were gloomy and fragile, and his fangs were hidden. If anyone dared to approach, he would bite off the throat.
Zheng Ting was also young, and he understood impulse, love and hate. He knew very well that he could not take Li Su away. Even if he dared, he could not resist Xu Shen's fight with him.
- Yes, as Xu Shen said, he has two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter, Li Su, is 11 years old.
Trouble. Zheng Ting thought about it in his heart. He could only pick the soft persimmon, his employee who had not yet surrendered. He said: "Li Su, please don't cause trouble for me."
It was like a splash of cold water, which made people wake up deeply.
Li Su, who had not yet been completely tamed by society, or Li Su who couldn't hold back his temper and acted in front of Xu Shen, was like a balloon punctured by a needle. After running a few meters, he finally stopped.
Faced with her own utter childishness, she realized belatedly that she had already been deformed tonight because of Xu Shen's attention.
A night of awkwardness, contradictions, and repetitions suddenly had an answer: because she wanted to be the best person in his heart, and wanted to be like before.
Unable to go back, unable to walk out, looking back and forth, going against the grain, she couldn't even do well in the present. Tonight, she embarrassed many people.
Li Su took a long breath, and felt that tonight was particularly long. It turned out that the past was so difficult to get over.
Li Su looked at Xu Shen again, no longer stubborn and sarcastic.
"Thank you tonight, old classmate." Li Su's tone was frank, "If it weren't for this kind of reunion... Now I am exhausted and devastated, while you are prominent and dazzling... I don't want to stand with you, I feel ashamed and unhappy."
The bottom of her wet eyes turned red. Li Su, who was as fresh and lonely as a camellia, smiled reluctantly, but her frankness and fragility were more frustrating than her stubbornness to push everything away.
Xu Shen completely lost the ability to resist. He withdrew all his compulsions to die together, forbearing and forcing himself not to get close.
The dim light blurred his thin waist, and the water marks in his eyes blurred the thread that was almost broken, leaving only a silk-like entanglement, trapping him in a maze in the sea of love and hate.
He was really unwilling.
But he could only settle for the next best thing: "Then add WeChat. Contact again... again. Wait until you want to see me."
Will there be such a day?
Li Su thought about it uncertainly, she forced a smile, and took out her phone from her bag. ——In fact, in fact, she could memorize Xu Shen's WeChat ID, but she just didn't have the courage to add it.
Xu Shen handed over his QR code, Li Su obediently scanned it and added it. When she saw the WeChat ID, she was stunned for a moment.
It's not this number... No... Li Su subconsciously flipped into Xu Shen's circle of friends, and she was a little surprised by several familiar places and daily readings.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she looked up and saw Xu Shen, who had just finished scanning her circle of friends, with his fingertips still resting on those standard messages. Xu Shen couldn't help but smile strangely.
He said with certainty: "Your... work WeChat?"
The turbid lake surface that was stirred up gradually settled down, and the people on the shore could finally see part of the clear truth. For example:
He is her work relationship.
But she is his private domain.
Xu Shen had almost made the final judgment. His voice was filled with a bit of annoyance, and the anger was as thin as paper, which was unexpectedly childish. He said, "You still want to fool me. You won't see me again."
Li Su unexpectedly wanted to laugh. But she felt that this moment was not appropriate. She pursed her lips and lied calmly, "I forgot to switch WeChat. I added it again."
This moment was a bit like the past.
The exchanges between their friends were honest and true. There was no estrangement, no secrets, and accurate expression. It was very natural and very... easy.
Xu Shen added Li Su's WeChat again. When he put down his phone, he looked at Li Su seriously, smiled lightly, and remembered her current appearance.
It seemed that this moment was their long-awaited reunion. He and she, in a bright and warm place, could see each other clearly.
"Li Su," Xu Shen's voice was clear and deep, hesitant, and became: "You...you are home, send me a message."
Li Su's heart was relieved. She nodded obediently, smiled at Xu Shen, and turned to get into Zheng Ting's car.
There was air conditioning in the car, which made people feel refreshed. Li Su turned his head away. The car window was closed, so people outside could not see inside. However, Li Su, who was sitting inside, could see Xu Shen.
He stood there all the time, waiting without hope. Until the tall figure became a dot in the distance.
Until the car drove to the downstairs of Li Su's house.
A dark alley, a village in the city with a mix of good and bad people.
Li Su looked out the window, came back to her senses woodenly, unfastened her seat belt and took her bag.
Zheng Ting looked around worriedly and asked Li Su: "Do you want to move out?"
"......"
Li Su looked up at Zheng Ting with a stunned expression, and said in disbelief: "Really? Dad Zheng, three children are not enough for you to take care of? And my business? I really can't accept my old age...really." "
......" Zheng Ting shrugged calmly, lowered his chin and thought, just thinking that Li Su's occasional remarks like this to stab him were really meaningful.
"Bang." Li Su opened the car door, and the moment the light came in, Zheng Ting suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Su's wrist.
Li Su turned around, frowned, and looked at him in confusion, with a vague sense of proportion.
Zheng Ting ignored her temper and asked, "How is your relationship with Xu Shen?"
"Oh," Li Su twisted her wrist and pulled her arm back. She got out of the car and held the door.
The street lights were dim. She was standing with her back to the light. In the dark silhouette, she said with a smile, "It's just like when someone asked me if you would divorce your wife and marry me. I can't answer this question. Mr. Zheng, next time I have such an answer, you can make it up."
"Puchi - I won't dare to mess with you tonight."
