74 Chapter 74

◎ Picking up my girlfriend from work ◎

It’s four o’clock in the morning.

Chen Jing'an felt like she was about to be soaked, and her legs were weak when she came out of the bathroom.

The sleepiness was over, and she felt like her body was being torn apart and reorganized, and everything felt stiff.

The instigator was full of energy and had no intention of staying up late to exercise. Chen Jing'an lay on his chest, lazily closing her eyelashes and falling asleep.

When he was about to fall asleep, he heard Shen Lie say that he was going abroad for a business trip for a few days, and the time was uncertain.

"Really?" Chen Jing'an's emotions were revealed subconsciously. Afterwards, she realized that she seemed a little too happy.

After his buttocks were pinched, Shen Lie asked, "Are you so happy that I'm leaving?"

"No."

"I'm actually quite sad."

Chen Jing'an wanted to make a sad expression, but her acting skills were indeed not good, too Too much on the surface.

Shen Lie pressed forward and glanced at the half-used box on the bedside table. There were four or five more boxes. He said, "Use them all before going on a business trip?"

"..."

Chen Jing'an pulled up the quilt. , covering the entire head, and the sound came from inside.

The sound of the urn was irritating.

"Don't even think about it!"

-

Shen Lie's flight that day.

Chen Jing'an still lives in the house she rents, goes to and from get off work, and lives a normal life. She occasionally goes shopping and eats with friends such as Ruan Ling Zhongxin, and also shares her recent life with Shen Lie on the phone.

She used to think the house was quite small, but after Shen Lie left, it seemed much bigger.

Shen Lieren was abroad and had a tight schedule. He took the time to meet his mother, Lin Moru, who was on vacation here.

Mother and son don't meet often, and due to Shen Lie's personality, they are not as close as an ordinary mother and son, with a sense of alienation that is neither close nor far away.

Talking about the Shen family's affairs, even a laid-back person like Lin Moru who didn't care about the family business found it ridiculous. She pulled her lips and smiled lightly: "People really become more confused as they get older. He is now bent on making up for his sins and doing everything. It's just a matter of brains."

She and her husband only lived together for a few years. During those few years, it can't be said that she didn't have any feelings at all. She quite admired him at that time, thinking that he had the means and authority, and was mature and steady.

Even now I feel a little sad when I hear what Shen Jingchen is doing this year.

The topic suddenly changed, and Lin Moru asked: "Have you found the girl you told me about last time?"

They met some time ago.

It was even stranger at that time. They had lunch together. Lin Moru noticed the watch on his wrist. It only cost tens of thousands of yuan. He couldn't help but look at it a few more times and jokingly asked him if there was a financial problem in the Shen family. You know, there's no financial problem, it's his feelings that are.

Love breakup.

The watch was given by a girl.

Lin Moru held up her chin, looked at her unsmiling son, and asked if he was too bastard and didn't want anyone else, and had hurt the girl's heart.

There was silence for a long time, so long that Lin Moru thought he would not answer.

She thought it was normal. She hadn't cared about him much and it wasn't appropriate to talk about this kind of topic.

Shen Lie raised his eyes, his eyes dark and cold: "She doesn't want me."

He simply said these words.

Lin Moru was a little stunned. On the one hand, he was willing to tell her, and on the other hand, it was his son who was dumped. Therefore, he was deeply impressed by this incident and the girl he had never met before.

This time, she was curious and asked one more question.

Shen Lie had a smile on his face at this moment and said: "I got it back."

Lin Moru guessed the same, there was a big difference between the two meetings before and after. She held her chin and asked when he would bring it to her.

"From now on, don't scare her."

Lin Moru felt funny: "Why, your mother looks terrible?"

Or does she have the face of an evil mother-in-law?

"No."

"It's just that your son is not very favored and his status is not stable." Shen Lie took the chopsticks to pick up the food for her. "You are alone and take good care of yourself."

Lin Moru stared at the bowl, his emotions suddenly became complicated. .

After the plane landed and left the airport, Ji Hong poked his head from the front seat and said that Shen Jingchen was at the company and told him to come over as soon as he came back.

There is always some unpleasantness when we meet.

Shen Jingchen is still ill, and has become more serious recently. When he gets into trouble, he presses his chest to take a few more pills.

Su Nianshen handed the water to him attentively: "Dad, the doctor said that you are not in good health now and need to cultivate yourself. It is not suitable to get angry. Don't always be angry at yourself. I am not very capable. I can do things under my elder brother. I have time. You should be filial to me."

"I'm not trying to be partial to anyone. I gave the company to you a long time ago. It's just that you're greedy and want to take it away before I give it to you. Do you take me seriously?"

"Father? What do you want to do?"

"Decentralize power, Optoelectronics, Huayu... don't interfere anymore, let Nian Shen do it."

"That's not possible," Shen Lie said calmly. The calmer he was, the less room for negotiation.

"Do you think I'm discussing with you?"

"I didn't mean that either."

"..."

During the confrontation, Shen Jingchen stared at those familiar eyebrows, and suddenly seemed to realize that he had lost his temper. He raised his hand and asked Su Nianshen went out.

They were the only two people left in the office.

Shen Jingchen sat down, with a stooped posture. He remained silent and asked, "What are your plans for Miss Chen? Looking at your attitude, are you going to marry her?"

Shen Lie turned a deaf ear to his sarcasm. Instead, he responded seriously: "Yeah."

After arguing for a long time, his two words were the most thoughtful in the whole room.

"Don't even think about it."

"I don't think so, I will do it." Shen Lie said calmly.

Shen Jingchen looked at his expression carefully: "I don't agree. Who do you think you are? Since your surname is Shen, you should know that you can't make the decision on this matter."

"Now that I think about it, Lin is not bad." Shen Lie closed his eyelids and looked rather lazy.

"Shen Lie!"

Shen Jingchen was furious: "Marriage is not a child's play."

"You haven't wiped off the blood on the road you walked on, so you can't wait to force me to walk it again?" Shen Lie looked at him levelly.

Shen Jingchen: "What did you say?"

"Didn't you ask me what I said to her that day?"

"..."

Shen Lie looked as usual: "I did not say anything. She asked me to pass on something to you. "

What did she say? "

Shen Lie didn't pay attention at the time. Later, he learned that she committed suicide on the roof after she finished speaking. He was exposed to death for the first time. During that time, he had nightmares for a long time, dreaming that she came in and finished speaking, opened the window, and jumped down. After looking at him, the person who fell became me and was pushed downstairs by Shen Jingchen, over and over again, many times.

Goodbye.

It means that even if we get down there, we don’t want to see each other again.

Shen Jingchen looked like he was recovering from a serious illness. His energy was exhausted and he just collapsed. He pursed his lips and refused to think deeply: "No one has a choice. I didn't have a choice back then, and you didn't have a choice either. You want to If you are confused by a woman, get out of the company as soon as possible!"

"Okay."

Shen Lie said, "Let Su Nianshen give it a try." "It's up

to you

."

Calling Ji Hong in, he took the coat and put it on his arm before leaving: "When you were sick and healthy, I didn't have time to give you a gift. It's not too late to make up for it now."

Shen Jingchen didn't know what he was playing at.

Ji Hong walked in and opened a private document. Su Nianshen had done too many things, including videos, yin and yang contracts, chat records, drug addiction, police detention... Shen Jingchen was overwhelmed with greetings. He would never have thought of it. In less than two years, his good son had become a human being and a ghost, and was completely ruined.

To promote him to the top is impossible.

—The

breath of spring is getting stronger, and the tender green hanging on the treetops changes day by day.

Seriously, Shen Lie was gone for five days.

When she first found out, she felt lucky. She felt like she could finally escape from the clutches of the devil. She could finally rest and didn't have to go to work the next day with dark circles under her eyes that could hardly be suppressed by foundation. Zhong Xin teased her and said she was still young and could withstand it. Tossing words like this.

After a day, I felt like something was missing.

It's a void that can't be relieved even by talking on the phone.

She was shy to express herself and could never say that she missed her.

Chen Jing'an asked him when he would return, but he didn't say a specific time, only that it wasn't over yet.

She didn't ask any more questions.

Tonight is just an ordinary day.

It was almost time to get off work, but because I was practicing improvisation with my seniors, the rhythm was random and the songs I played were random.

The phone is ringing, but no one cares.

Shen Lie couldn't contact anyone, so he had to stop the car and come over in person. It was already after get off work time, so he thought there might not be many people inside. It was just an unlucky coincidence that when he came in, he met the group leader.

The group leader was even more surprised than Shen Lie. He opened his eyes and forgot how to react for a moment, so he stepped forward to say hello.

"Why are Mr. Shen here? What's the matter?"

"It's just a personal matter." Shen Lie said.

"Private matter? What's private? Are you looking for someone? Most of the people in the group have left. Only some of them are still in the practice room, right here." The group leader greeted him warmly.

"No need."

The team leader had already opened the practice room door first.

"..."

Noticing the movement at the door, the people in the practice room stopped.

Chen Jing'an saw Shen Lie.

Only then did she remember her mobile phone and took it over to look at a few text messages and missed calls.

The two people looked at each other.

The team leader was still asking enthusiastically: "Mr. Shen, who are you looking for and what is it about?"

The first thing Chen Jing'an thought of was not that the relationship between them could not be hidden, but that he was back and said he was not sure during the day. It appeared in front of him at night. He probably wanted to give it a surprise, but now it turned into a shock.

At this point, it seems that it is not as difficult to accept as I imagined.

Chen Jing'an began to pack his things, as if he was ready to be claimed.

It's not that Shen Lie didn't see it.

He thought that with Chen Jing'an's character, he would just avoid him and play underground tricks with him.

She didn't.

This feels good.

Shen Lie lowered his eyes and looked at the leader, Ze Xin, with a hint of tenderness in his smile.

"Yeah."

"I'm here to pick up my girlfriend from work."

-

The blush on Chen Jing'an's face didn't fade until she got into the car.

She heard what Shen Lie said.

Not only her, but everyone present including the group leader heard it. By tomorrow, everyone will know about their relationship.

After he finished speaking, the audience was silent for two seconds.

Chen Jing'an's face was red, she grabbed the strap of Pipa and stood up. She felt several eyes looking at her, all of them were surprised and stunned. Who would have thought that the most taciturn elementary school girl on weekdays was like throwing money to play? The sponsors are together.

And they are serious boyfriend and girlfriend.

Immediately I realized that I was not investing in the group, but I was clearly giving money to my girlfriend in a different way so that the place where my girlfriend works would not be too shabby.

In the early years, a senior who had worked with Chen Jing'an when she was still a student suddenly remembered that she had met her previous boyfriend, but it had been so long ago and they were just casual acquaintances that no one had seriously remembered it. Later, Shen Lie appeared again, and who I didn't think about anything else.

At this moment, it was like the traces that had been touched before were suddenly connected in series.

That Xiao Shen was never someone else, but the person in front of him.

Doing the math, it has been almost three years.

"Do you have such great stamina? Do you regret it?" Shen Lie hadn't driven yet and looked at Chen Jing'an who was still in a daze.

Chen Jing'an was fastening her seat belt and shook her head when she heard this: "No."

"Why... why did you come back suddenly without saying anything in advance?"

It's okay for the seniors in the group to know.

"End early, give you a surprise."

"..."

"Now it's a shock."

Chen Jing'an still held the seat belt, and later looked at him with his head propped up: "It's not... not a shock, right?"

"Huh? "

I'm very happy to have you back."

Chen Jing'an wore a thin sweater with a neckline that showed a straight shoulder and neck line, a small chin, a clear and smooth jawline, and clean eyes under her long eyelashes.

Her voice was quite soft and a little cautious. She was always introverted and shy.

"Don't look at me like this." His Adam's apple was crushed heavily, and his voice sounded like a helpless sigh.

For her, restraint is like a joke, easily disintegrated and eliminated.

Chen Jing'an was confused: "What's wrong?"

"There's no condom in the car."

"..."

"So, don't recruit me again."

Chen Jing'an turned around suddenly, the blush that had just faded returned, and she pretended to go Looking out the window seemed to be of no use. She only felt that the temperature was getting higher and higher. She was dissatisfied, and many pictures kept flashing in her mind.

Shen Lie didn't talk much along the way. Shen Lie concentrated on driving, saving a few minutes on the journey to the rental house.

It doesn’t matter if you didn’t take a shower.

Just go to the bathroom and save yourself a lot of trouble.

The shower was turned on, and the sound of water continued, covering up some other sounds.

The clothes didn't have time to be taken off completely, they were wetted by the water, and finally stuck to the skin. They were all pushed up randomly. The water poured on her face, so dense that she couldn't even open her eyes. She was hugged by the buttocks and felt A terrifying sense of power, the tiles on my back were also wet.

He kissed her.

With traces of warm water, a new experience.

The temperature in the small bathroom was rising steadily, and the water vapor filled the air, making it feel like a dream.

"Do you miss me?" Shen Lie asked close to her ear.

Wu... um..." Chen Jing'an grabbed his shoulders hard, and his hands were full of water and would always slip away.

"Hmm, what is it? "

Shen Lie's bad intentions were not just in his tone.

Chen Jing'an's scalp was numb, and a small electric current surged through her body. She was so uncomfortable that she finally couldn't resist it and had to exhale: "I thought about it. "

"Shen Lie. "

"I miss you. "

..."

A little farewell is better than a new love, she had a deep experience this night.

After finishing, Chen Jing'an remembered that they had not eaten yet, and the two went out to look for food again. Because of the serious physical exhaustion, under her strong suggestion She decided to solve the problem nearby, then held hands after dinner, washed up and went to bed. Chen

Jing'an suddenly called.

Jingcai clicked and answered,

"Why did it take so long? "

Mother Chen has also finished washing and is lying on the bed with Father Chen. The camera moves and Father Chen squeezes into the camera to greet her.

Chen Jing'an hesitated: "Just now, I didn't hear much just now.

He asked again: "Why haven't you fallen asleep yet? "

"It's still early. Your dad and I don't have much sleep at our age. " "

Chen Jing'an smiled. She liked chatting with her parents very much, but the current situation is special. There is someone sleeping next to her, and she can't help but be lost in thought.

After chatting for a while, Mother Chen pursed her lower lip and asked with a mysterious smile: " Will my baby come back on May Day? "

Feeling the eyes from the side looking over, Chen Jing'an answered very uncertainly: "Maybe. "

Let me tell you, your father has a college classmate. He has a son who is about the same age as you. He is also developing in the capital. I think he is not far from you. I have seen photos and he looks pretty good. He's a surgeon, he has a good personality, and I'll get along with you..."

The gaze from the side became more and more intense, and Chen Jing'an said uncomfortably that we would talk about it later.

"It's not that your parents are pushing you, it's that you are old enough to fall in love, young man. It’s really good that I’m willing to do it. Otherwise, would I introduce anyone to you as my mother? "

"Well! "

My butt was suddenly pinched. It wasn't hard, but the hand didn't mean to let go after pinching.

"What's wrong? " Chen's mother asked.

Chen Jing's heart jumped to her throat, and she pretended to be calm: "It's okay, it was the dog next door who had been staying with me for a few days, and suddenly ran into the room.

"Why are you fostering me here? " Dog hair is difficult to clean, so don't let it go to bed to avoid getting dog hair in the quilt.

"...just a few days. "

"Well, the dog is very naughty. Your place is already small, so raising a dog will make it even more crowded. " "

"good! "

Feeling that the "dog claws" were doing evil, Chen Jing'an had to hang up the phone on the pretext of driving the dog out.

As soon as the phone was hung up, Shen Lie held her calf and pulled her under him without much force. Looking at her with dark eyes, he asked: "Who is the dog, huh? "

Chen Jing'an prevaricated: "It's not you.

"Surgeon, he looks pretty good. "

"I have a pretty good personality and get along well with you. " "

"He is also the son of a college classmate, and he knows everything about him. "

..."

"Want to meet?" " Shen Lie asked with a smile, and the sourness in his tone could not be concealed.

Chen Jing'an knew that there is a word called "flexible and able to stretch". At this time, she could not be harsh. She shook her head decisively.

Shen Lie pinched her cheek and asked: "Chen Jing'an, you When will you give me a title? "
