◎Warm breath. ◎
Liang Yuwei and Zhou Mo still didn’t know that they were packaged and sold by Shen Miao. The two grown men were still laughing at each other in the tea room with grim faces.
"After the opening period here is over, will Song Shiwei stay here or return to the headquarters?" Zhou Mo asked casually.
Liang Yuwei glanced at him: "How do I know."
"Your investment recruitment and operations deal with her every day, don't you know?"
"No matter how many times we deal with her, she is not my colleague." Liang Yuwei sneered, "I want to Just ask yourself."
Zhou Mo snorted and said nothing.
Liang Yuwei lazily raised his eyelids: "Do you want her to go or stay?"
Zhou Mo's brows never relaxed: "I hope it will be useful."
Liang Yuwei saw him hesitating and stood up to leave. : "Don't tell me I'm leaving."
In the end, Zhou Mo still grabbed him.
After chatting for a while, Liang Yuwei learned that a few days ago, Zhou Mo asked Song Shiwei to have dinner and talked about some things in high school.
"Interrupting the subject." Liang Yuwei stretched out his hand to interrupt, "You are not from our school, what are you talking about?"
"I am not from your school, but I go there often, a serious supernumerary city No. 1 middle school student. Your school You should give me a medal or something to commend me for always saying good things about No. 1 Middle School outside the school."
Liang Yuwei laughed sarcastically.
This man was a non-staff son in their family and a non-staff student in No. 1 Middle School.
"Are you still listening?" Zhou Mo asked impatiently.
Liang Yuwei motioned for him to continue.
Zhou Mo went on to say that they were both drunk and a little drunk at the time, and he almost kissed Song Shiwei.
"Why are you two having a meal and drinking liquor?" Liang Yuwei asked.
"Drinking red wine."
Liang Yuwei didn't know what to say: "..."
Zhou Mo, a person who can drink everyone until they vomit and is still conscious, can actually be drunk by several glasses of red wine.
Liang Yuwei didn't believe it.
Zhou Mo explained: "That drink has a strong aftertaste."
"What do you want to do now? Want to solidify your reputation as a romantic? You don't care what Song Shiwei thinks?"
Zhou Mo's base outside of work is basically in bars and nightclubs. Outsiders think that Zhou Mo is a playboy with countless girlfriends.
And Liang Yuwei knew that this guy was just afraid of loneliness and being alone, so he always wanted to go to busy places.
"Does it matter if I care?" Zhou Mo rubbed his face.
Zhou Mo once liked Song Shiwei, but no one knew this secret.
After all, he usually only cares about things. As long as he is a good-looking female classmate, he is particularly enthusiastic and proactive. No one knows how much of what he says is true and how much of it is false.
In high school, Zhou Mo had not yet grown up, had thin arms and legs, and was just a foil for the handsome Liang Yuwei.
After going to college, throwing away his glasses, doing fitness, skin care, etc., Zhou Mo's handsome attributes gradually emerged. However, the goddess was already far away at that time, and he was immersed in the sense of accomplishment of being noticed. Two love affairs that ended in nothing.
This reunion was an accident. When the two reminisced about the past, their heartbeats seemed to restart. He thought he could kick open the door to the heart of the former goddess, but he used too much force and pushed it crookedly.
"How did you come up with such a bad trick?" Liang Yuwei couldn't help but rub her temples wildly, "Song Shiwei didn't give you a slap in the face, it's a good thing."
"Stop talking about me, what about you? You're pulling your old classmate. Are you ready?" Zhou Mo didn't want to worry about this anymore, and turned to adjust his firepower and faced Liang Yuwei, "It's your turn, you may not be able to think of a better move than this."
Liang Yuwei smiled disdainfully. He said: "Joke."
Zhou Mo continued to attack: "You have such heavy dark circles under your eyes, you couldn't have been with your old classmate last night, right?"
Liang Yuwei sipped his coffee silently.
Zhou Mo read something from his expression and laughed until his stomach ached: "Still no progress? Then where did you get the confidence to laugh at me?"
Unexpectedly, Liang Yuwei stood up directly, took his coffee and left.
-
During off-duty hours, Liang Yuwei showed up at the art gallery on time.
When Chen Zui got in the car, he said, "I brought my keys today."
Liang Yuwei shrugged, "It doesn't matter if I didn't."
Chen Zui glanced at him, wondering if this was another signal to invite her to his home.
After a while, she spoke again: "My foot has healed. I won't bother you to pick me up tomorrow."
"Have the swelling and bruises gone?" Liang Yuwei asked.
"Yeah." Chen Zui nodded.
After finishing speaking, she turned to look out the car window.
Liang Yuwei glanced at her but didn't catch her expression.
Most of the swelling on her foot has gone away, and walking is no longer a big problem, but she still doesn't dare to use force on her right foot.
Although it was true that her foot injury had healed, Liang Yuwei smelled something unpleasant.
Along the way, Chen Zui didn't take the initiative to speak.
Liang Yuwei brought up a topic, and she only responded out of politeness.
Before getting off the car, Liang Yuwei didn't unlock the door for a long time, as if waiting for Chen Zui to say something.
Chen Zui unbuckled his seat belt and said to him, "Thank you these days."
"I'd better come tomorrow, within a day or two."
Chen Zui shook his head, as if he was very determined.
She put her hand on the car door, and Liang Yuwei quickly grabbed her arm and asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"
"No."
"But you made it obvious."
Chen Zui paused and looked very serious . She looked at him: "Okay, I'll tell the truth."
Liang Yuwei also stared at her seriously.
"I don't want you to pick me up again, and I don't want to owe you any more favors." Chen Zui said word for word, "I will treat you to the meal that was agreed upon."
Liang Yuwei did not let go and asked: " I come to pick you up every day, are you afraid that others will misunderstand you?"
Chen Zui looked at him with a wry smile: "Do I still care what others say?"
She has never experienced anything.
He didn't know what she meant.
She took a deep breath and said word by word: "You will make me misunderstand. We will have contact at work in the future. I don't want us to become awkward."
After saying that, she opened the car door and got out of the car. Got the car.
The information conveyed by Shen Miao made her begin to examine her own heart.
From fighting, to necklaces, to getting along while hiking, she didn't know whether Liang Yuwei was like this to the opposite sex, and she didn't know whether she was the object of Liang Yuwei's kindness.
She had to stop this endless, meaningless decline.
-The
first person to notice that Chen Zui's mood was not right was Li Songyi.
She and Chen Zui met every day, but she found that Chen Zui was often in a daze during work breaks recently. She went to see Chen Zui several times, but Chen Zui was always absent-minded.
Over the weekend, Li Songyi secretly called Shen Miao and Ding Yiye to knock on Chen Zui's door.
Chen Zui was extremely surprised when he saw the three of them standing at the door.
"What for? We are not robbing."
Chen Zi quickly turned sideways to let the girls in.
She is doing general cleaning. She recently injured her foot and the house has not been properly cleaned for a long time.
The three of them had their hands full. Shen Miao brought hot pot base and vegetables, Li Songyi brought beef rolls and hot pot balls, and Ding Yi also brought fruits and a few roses.
"Picked from my garden." Ding Yi also put the flowers into Chen Zui's hand, "Beautiful flowers match good-looking people."
Shen Miao walked into the kitchen familiarly and asked her where the dishes and pots were.
Chen Zui soaked a few roses in the pool to wake them up, then turned to the kitchen.
The three of them were already familiar with washing and chopping vegetables in the kitchen, chattering and making it very lively.
Chen Zhi felt hot in his heart.
I also had this feeling when I was at Liang Yuwei's house a few days ago.
Chen Zui stood at the door and asked, "Why are you here?"
"We want to see the little cutie, can't we?" Ding Yi also touched Chen Zui's cheek.
Ding Yiye used to be the least social person, but now he always wants to find something to do with a few cute girls.
"Of course." Chen tried his best to participate, "But before you come next time, can you say hello? I can prepare something to entertain you."
Shen Miao pushed her out: "You are so polite to us, isn't this all? Bring it."
There was really no room for the fourth person in the kitchen, so Chen Zui had no choice but to exit, go get the electric hot pot, and then go to the balcony to get a spare stool and add it to the dining table.
Soon, four people sat around Chen Zui's small dining table, waiting for the hot pot to start.
While waiting, the three of them looked at each other, as if they had something to say.
Chen Zui asked them what was wrong, but they didn't say anything.
Finally, Li Songyi bit her chopsticks and asked: "Chen Zui, have you been in a bad mood recently?"
"Why do you say that?"
"You are sluggish when you go to work."
Chen Zui blinked: "Who can maintain a good mood while working next to Qiao Sen? What a good mood."
Qiao Sen's temper was notorious. All of them were amused.
But Li Songyi knew that Chen Zu was not telling the truth.
She tentatively asked: "Lost in love?"
Chen Zui shrugged and said, "Absolutely."
As soon as he said this, three pairs of eyes looked at her, shining brightly.
Ding Yi also asked: "Are you in love?"
Li Songyi asked: "When did it happen?"
Shen Miao still had a bit of two left. She sipped her chopsticks and reminded her companions: "Hey, are we still in love?" "Human?"
Chen Zi smiled and explained that she was not in love, she was just stuck in an emotion that was difficult to resolve, a bit like falling out of love.
"Speaking out is the process of dissolution." Li Songyi blinked, "If you need it, we can help you scold your ex-boyfriend."
Chen Zui emphasized: "I really am not in love."
Ding Yi also immediately took out his mobile phone: " Do you want me to help you make an appointment with Li Muyang?"
Shen Miao also said, "I haven't been in love recently."
Ding Yiye and Shen Miao both had resources for single male guests and began to compete for their own advantages.
Chen Zui held them both down: "Thank you, but -"
"Stop saying that no one will like you, okay?" Ding Yi also glared at her fiercely and said before her.
"I'm really not in love, nor am I out of love." Chen Zui pursed her lips and thought for a moment. Suddenly, she made a decision, "However, I want to confess something to you."
They stopped. , focusing on staring at Chen Zui.
Chen unbuttoned his pajamas most slowly.
When she showed her scar, all three of them were speechless.
The whole room fell into a dead silence, only the hot pot was still steaming.
The wrinkled, sinuous scars are the record of her life over the past ten years.
Chen first talked about the origin of the scar and the right and wrong it involved.
It's strange that when she said this, she was unusually calm and even a little relaxed.
"None of you have ever asked me why I never wear short-sleeves and skirts." Chen Zui said with a smile, "So, I think I should be honest with my friends."
"Isn't it ugly?"
They shook their heads desperately. .
"You should understand by now, I said no one would like me."
First Ding Yi started to cry, and then Shen Miao followed. Li Songyi looked at Chen Zui, tears welling up in his eyes, with an indescribable emotion.
Ding Yiye's crying became louder and louder, finally reaching the point of bursting into tears.
There were four people in a room, and the cries were like waves on the seashore, overlapping and advancing layer by layer.
They don't know how many difficult days this girl has gone through, and they don't know how much courage it takes for her to face herself like this.
"What are you doing, do you want to be so exaggerated?" Chen Zui laughed and cried at the same time, wiping away his tears with his fingertips.
Ding Yi also hugged her: "Don't say such nonsense again! We don't care, and people who really like you won't care about it either."
Shen Miao's eyes turned red and he said, "It's all over."
Chen Zui also agreed. The voice said calmly: "It's all over."
"Forget the past, we will take you to start a new life."
-
After a weekend, Chen Zui was healed well.
When she got off work on the first day of the new week, she saw Liang Yuwei's car again.
It wasn't appropriate to leave directly, so she walked over and knocked on the car window.
Liang Yuwei shifted his gaze from the phone to her face, nodded his chin at her, and motioned for her to get in the car: "Come up and tell me."
"What's the matter?" Chen Zui asked.
"I have something to say to you."
Chen Zui was stunned for a moment, and then his heartbeat began to become clearer.
She got into the car and sat in the passenger seat, but she didn't wear a seat belt.
Liang Yuwei smiled and felt a little disappointed.
She clearly planned to leave at any time.
Over the weekend, he saw in Shen Miaofa's circle of friends that several girls were eating hot pot together at Chen Zui's house.
He was extremely agitated.
I have time to invite my friends to dinner, but I have no time to talk to him.
"What do you want to say?" Chen Zui asked him.
Liang Yuwei stared at her steadily: "You said last time that you didn't want to have any illusions."
Chen Zui's eyes wandered uneasily for a moment.
She didn't want to talk about it.
"I went back and thought about it, and I agree with your statement."
Chen didn't know what he wanted to express.
"I don't want you to have any misunderstandings, so I decided to give you the answer directly."
He held the steering wheel tightly with his left hand, leaned over, covered it with his warm breath, and kissed Chen Zui softly on the corner of his lips.
Chen Zui's heart suddenly trembled.
It was like a feather falling.
