7 Chapter 7

◎ I made a mistake ◎

Ruan Ling was very drunk and vomited when she arrived at the hotel. Chen Jing'an cleaned up for her, removed her makeup and wiped her face. Ruan Ling stared in confusion. When she wiped her face, she recognized her, and her eyes were scarlet. , tears rolled down, sobbing and calling her name over and over again, aggrieved and unwilling, asking her if she couldn't do anything well, Chen Jing'an could only hold Ruan Ling in her arms and pat her back to comfort her.

Tired of crying, Ruan Ling fell on the bed and fell asleep.

Chen Jing'an lay down on his back, tossing around for half the night. His body was tired and numb, but his mind was clear and clear, and he kept thinking about the scene before getting in the car. Shen Lie's face became clearer and clearer in his memory, including his facial contours, high bridge of nose, and minimal upward arc. He has had everything since he was born, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain.

The lights in the room were not turned off, and a little light shone like a firefly, as if it would be swallowed up by darkness the next moment.

Chen Jing'an's thoughts were chaotic and she thought of many things. How could she repay the favor she owed to Shen Lie? How could she, an ordinary student, repay her? She thought of Qin Yinian's loss of contact and whether she was really so busy. What was she busy with? Is it just work? This feeling was like being in mud. She was trapped forward and backward. Every step she took was uncertain. She was stuck in it and it was difficult to save herself.

Qin Yinian's call came back in the morning. He apologized and explained that he overslept due to continuous overtime work and could not hear the phone ringing.

Chen Jing'an guessed the answer and bit her lower lip: "Are you going to work overtime today too?"

"Well, it's hard to say, but I'm almost done. I'll come back to see you, okay? Go to your favorite restaurant and watch music. If it's a drama or a movie, I have to turn off the phone. That day, Qin Yinian will only be at the disposal of Miss Chen Jing'an. "

Maybe it was because he had just woken up, his voice was hoarse and lazy.

Chen Jing'an was a little moved: "I just want you to have a good rest."

Qin Yinian said yes with a low smile, and asked if it was urgent to call so late yesterday.

Chen Jing'an briefly recounted what happened last night. Qin Yinian fell silent for a moment when he heard Shen Lie's name. His voice became colder and asked why Shen Lie knew her. Chen Jing'an explained: "The teacher fell ill and went to the hospital. He was also there. So I did it once. I can't contact you and can't think of any other way."

Qin Yinian knew that he was wrong and asked what happened next.

"I think we can treat him to a meal together on the day you come back. Is it convenient for you?"

"I don't think it's necessary. This kind of thing is just a sentence to him, and people like them can't see it. The last meal made people laugh. "

Chen Jing'an disagreed with his statement, but he didn't mean to argue. Qin Yinian told her not to think about it anymore, and the matter just passed. Without saying a few words, he said It was late, so I hung up the phone in a hurry.

"Why are you hanging up so quickly, are you afraid that I will cause trouble?"

The bathroom door was pushed open, Xu Ruoqing had just finished washing, her hair had only been wiped with a towel, it was wet, and the ends of her hair were dripping with water, and she was wearing Qin Yinian's white T-shirt Her shirt was wet, she folded her arms and leaned against the door, looking at him with a smile on her face: "I'm quite curious, who is more beautiful, me or your girlfriend?"

Qin Yinian leaned on the bedside and heard her mention Chen Jing'an, He frowned in displeasure, instinctively rejecting the question.

Xu Ruoqing's smile faded: "Why, I'm not even qualified to compete with her?"

"Are you different?"

"What's the difference? What is she like, and what am I like?"

Xu Ruoqing saw that he looked unhappy and didn't think so. Yi Xiaoxiao: "I know, my relationship with you is just in bed. I know this very well. I won't pester you when you go back. I didn't do it a few years ago, and I won't do it now."

"You don't have to put yourself in trouble ." Our relationship is so bad."

"What if?" Xu Ruoqing walked over to the bed, holding her arms close to him, facing each other, almost touching her lips, and sliding her other hand down from her cheek, it was the line that caused the fire. Climbing to the key point, he paused and entangled, making waves, "A-Nian, has she ever touched you like this? Has she ever made you so happy?"

Qin Yinian's breathing was rapid, his eyes scarlet: "No."

They have never done this, It's not that he hasn't thought about it, but Chen Jing'an is still a student, with a reserved and slow-tempered personality, and his family also comes from a traditional scholarly family. She looks too clean and too weak, and he doesn't want to. He is willing to save all the good things on the wedding night.

On their wedding night...

Qin Yinian was a little distracted, but Xu Ruoqing didn't give him a chance. She kissed his lips and led him into the center of the storm, leaving everything else behind.

Meeting Xu Ruoqing was an accident. Qin Yinian's chest trembled instantly, and there was still lingering lingering feeling when he got in the car. He was in college at the time, and Xu Ruoqing was an art student. Campus love was pure and beautiful. He didn't know the heights of the world at that time, so he took her home to meet his parents. , the room was full of chaos, and everyone forced them to break up. He refused, but it was hard to persist. Afterwards, the two had a big quarrel, he made a mistake, and Xu Ruoqing disappeared from the world.

It's not like he disappeared from the world, it's just that he didn't look for it, and he even felt relieved. Maybe it would be the best result to end it like this.

See you again a few years later, my mood has changed.

He took the initiative to meet her for the second time. Xu Ruoqing held a painting exhibition. He congratulated her on her career achievements. She smiled lightly and said that she had also been appreciated recently.

Qin Yinian read every painting in the exhibition, trying to find traces of the passage of time in the past few years.

The exhibition is over.

Xu Ruoqing fiddled with her long hair and asked him if he wanted to go home for a drink.

-Chen

Jing'an decided to choose a gift - cufflinks, small items, the price may be affordable to her.

Ruan Ling woke up from drunkenness in the morning and knew that a lot of things happened to her last night and wanted to pay half of the money. She couldn't get through last night until the end of the filming. Even if others didn't tell her, she could feel that everyone was on fire. She felt bad when she went out and met the man in the hotel. The man saw it and offered to treat her to dinner. He talked well and looked gentle. He also stayed in a five-star hotel. She felt that he was a gentleman.

The two chatted happily, and the man kept trying to enlighten her. Finally, they invited her to a bar to get drunk. She felt depressed and had a bad drinking ability. She got drunk quickly. The bar was too noisy and she didn't hear the ringtone. As for turning off her phone, she guessed it was because of drinking. I pressed it accidentally when I was drunk.

Ruan Ling and Chen Jing'an picked out the cufflinks together.

Ruan Ling lay down in front of the counter and glanced at the displays. She felt that they were pretty much the same. She didn't understand men's aesthetics, so she turned around and asked, "What does Mr. Shen's look like?"

She was so drunk last night that she only remembered how amazing it was. , but can’t remember what it looks like.

If you have money and good looks, you should have good taste.

Chen Jing'an was asked a question. She couldn't describe it. Finally, she chose a lock-type cufflink with a metallic color and a mechanical aesthetic. It looked cold and powerful, and the price of several thousand was within her budget.

After checking out and leaving, Ruan Ling looked at the bag in his hand with pain. It was no bigger than her bag, and the gift box looked empty after being put in it. I spent several thousand yuan to buy something the size of a little finger.

The gift was supposed to be given to both of them, but Ruan Ling unexpectedly ended up giving the gift that day. The director invited all the staff to dinner. Her tone on the other end of the phone was extremely excited, so she could only ask Chen Jing'an to deliver it: "Jing'an, take it." When I get the money, I'll treat you to ten meals!"

Chen Jing'an was happy for her: "Okay, I'll eat you up from now on."

"I'm not afraid, you can eat with all your heart! I'm going to call someone. I won't talk to you for now. I'll meet you in the evening."

"Okay."

Chen Jing'an looked at the gift bag in his hand, feeling a little troubled.

How to send gifts? Chen Jing'an was careful last night and took the initiative to leave the contact information of Shen Lie's driver in preparation for repaying the favor. The two of them had little social contact, so they needed a way to repay the favor. Thinking over and over again on the subway, she wanted to give the gift to the driver, who would then hand it over to Shen Lie.

The driver confiscated it and was a little embarrassed: "Ms. Chen, this is against the rules. I don't dare to make the decision on accepting gifts without authorization. How about this? You wait until I ask Mr. Shen and we will see how to deal with it?"

"Okay."

"Excuse me . "Yes."

The driver finished the call and said, "Mr. Shen means that since it is a gift, it should be given in person, but Mr. Shen still has work. I don't know if Miss Chen can wait. It will take about two hours." "

Yes."

Chen Jing'an nodded.

Within two hours, someone came downstairs to pick her up. The person looked familiar, but Chen Jing'an couldn't remember where they met. After chatting for a while in the elevator, he found out that the person was Shen Lie's assistant, whose surname was Ji, Ji Hong. The other person was kind and polite. Chen Jing'an said that he was kind-hearted. He smiled and said, "Maybe we have met before?"

When they reached the top floor, the elevator door opened and Ji Hong took her to the office.

Just like the boss's office seen in movies and TV series, the main color is cool, with marble floors, gray-black walls, metal floor lamps, a large desk, and behind it is a ring-shaped glass curtain wall. The floor is high and the view is great. Extremely open, like being in the clouds.

Shen Lie was not surprised by her visit.

Students are simple-minded, and the only way they can think of to return favors is to treat them to meals and give gifts, and anything else is beyond their ability. Chen Jing'an may be a little noble in his coldness. Such people don't like to owe people things or favors. even more.

"Mr. Shen, this is a gift that my roommate Ruan Ling and I picked out. We are all very grateful for your help that night. It's not expensive. I hope you won't mind it."

Chen Jing'an walked over calmly, stopped in front of the table, and raised his hands. Holding the gift bag in his hand, his fingers were tense and strained, but he had to try his best to restrain himself.

Shen Lie took the gift and held two small cufflinks inside. The brand was average, but he had a good taste. He held it in his hand and played with it, feeling the cold metal texture. He raised his eyes and said, "You don't have to be so polite."

"You should." His tone was more distant and polite.

The gift box was closed and put into the drawer by Shen Lie, who asked casually: "Is your roommate okay afterwards?"

"Ruan Ling just drank too much, and he was fine when he woke up the next day."

"Yeah."

Chen Jing'an She made small swallowing movements. She was not good at chatting. When the gift was delivered, she wanted to leave. Just as she was thinking about how to speak, the door of the office was knocked open again. Ji Hong said: "Mr. Shen, Mr. Qin is here. "

Please come in, Mr. Qin."

Just then, Chen Jing'an's eyes lit up.

She pursed her lips and said, "Mr. Shen, I'll leave now. I wish you good health and all the best."

"You know the person coming, Qin Yuanming, Qin Yinian's eldest brother." Shen Lie spoke unhurriedly and looked at Seeing the surprise on Chen Jing'an's face, he became very calm, "Since we are acquaintances, we should say hello."

In fact, Chen Jing'an had never met Qin Yuanming, so what kind of acquaintance he was. She wanted to explain, but felt that this kind of thing was a private matter and unnecessary.

Probably reading the expression on Chen Jing'an's face, Shen Lie asked: "You don't have any plans to get married. Why, he didn't take you to meet his family?"

Chen Jing'an frowned. She didn't know where Shen Lie got the idea of ​​getting married. Zhi: "I think Mr. Shen misunderstood."

Shen Lie put his elbow on the table and his index finger on his chin, and said with a clear look, "Yes, after all, there are lessons learned from the past, so you should be cautious if you want to take him to see your parents."

"What lessons have been learned from the past? " ?" Chen Jing'an's voice trembled slightly.

"You don't know?"

Shen Lie suddenly realized and tsked: "I think I made a mistake."
