When Jiang Cha Cha woke up again, it was already dark. Cicadas were chirping outside the window, and her palms were warm.
He Yao sat beside her bed, holding her hand and watching over her.
Looking at his thick, dark head, Jiang Cha Cha's heart felt infinitely soft.
After sensing the movement, He Yao woke up and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"
Jiang Cha Cha suddenly had an idea and took the initiative to suggest: "Wait until I get better, let's go on a date?"
Maybe she shouldn't let her wild thoughts run wild, but just hold on to the happiness she has now.
He Yao thought he had heard wrongly. He was confused for a moment, then smiled and held her tighter: "Okay."
The next day, Jiang Cha Cha returned to the dormitory, changed into a bright orange dress, and tied her ponytail high, looking very girlish.
Jin Xiaocan woke up from the bed rubbing his eyes and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Boss, what are you doing..."
Jiang Cha Cha smiled and waved at her: "I'm temporarily closed today. I'll give you a day off."
Jin Xiaocan blinked, realized something, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Boss, are you going on a date? I just recovered from my illness and don't need to rest..."
As soon as the door was closed, Jiang Cha Cha had already gone out.
"For a moment?"
Strangely enough, after drinking ginger tea, my fever subsided and I felt refreshed, as if all the demonic obstacles had been dispersed.
Thinking of He Yao, she silently raised the corners of her mouth and told herself: I have a date today and I want to have a new beginning.
When we arrived at the school gate, He Yao was already waiting there.
Instead of driving that exaggerated sports car, he rode a bicycle.
He was wearing a pure white shirt and simple coffee plaid cropped pants, looking as clean and sunny as a cloud in the sky.
Seeing her, he smiled and patted the back seat: "Let's go, I'll take you for a ride today."
He considerately put a hat on Jiang Cha Cha and said, "Don't let the wind blow on your head. It will make you feel better."
She sat in the back seat, hugged his waist, felt the breeze on her face, watched the scenery on both sides move backward, and whispered softly: "Jiang Cha Cha, this is the happiness that belongs to you."
He Yao is a gentleman who respects girls very much. He told Jiang Cha Cha all the arrangements and asked her softly if she liked it. If she didn't like it, there were alternative plans.
Jiang Cha Cha no longer had the wisdom and determination she had when doing business. No matter what He Yao said, she just nodded and said, "I don't have much experience in this area. You decide."
He Yao was stunned, and two blushes appeared on his cheeks: "I have no experience either."
When he was with Tang Meini, he was as quiet as a papaya, and it was Tang Meini who took him to see the new world. By the time he understood what love was, Tang Meini had already resolutely left.
Now, he really wants to develop a relationship with Jiang Cha Cha, but sincerity makes a person clumsy again.
The two stood by the river, looked at each other in surprise, and smiled knowingly.
Then a burst of clear laughter spread along with the flow of the river, and the feeling between them returned to the harmony they had before fighting side by side.
Sometimes, the most indescribable thing between people is a subtle feeling. It may be that one’s words are not in line with one’s heart, it may be impossible to explain, or it may be like this, without too much explanation, and all will be gone with just a smile.
But in the other corner of her sight, Jiang Cha Cha didn't notice that there was a car following them silently, always keeping a distance.
A pair of eyes in the car followed them all the time.
Gu Nanfeng sat in the back seat of the car, watching coldly as someone and someone else were having a lively conversation.
"Didn't you say you were sick? Why are you hanging around in such a short skirt?
"You're still going out on a date when you're sick!
"Does this look like illness?
"Smiling so brightly, wrinkles appear on your face."
…
The driver sitting in the front was really embarrassed and turned his head silently: "Mr. Gu, do you want to go over?"
"Why should I go there?" Gu Nanfeng rolled his eyes at the driver, "I'm very busy."
The driver thought silently: You left a bunch of people in the company and came here to follow me. You must be very busy.
Here, the two agreed on where to go next by the river. When they were about to set off, a phone call disrupted their plans.
It was Zhao Haozi who called He Yao.
Even from a distance, Jiang Chacha could hear Haozi's voice at the other end: "Ayao, come back and save me quickly. I'm being blackmailed."
He Yao frowned: "What?"
Before I understood what was happening, there was a burst of noise on the other end and then the call was hung up.
Seeing this, Jiang Cha Cha quickly said, "Maybe something really happened, let's go back and take a look."
He Yao thought about it and nodded: "Okay."
The two hurried to the company.
Pushing open the office door, Jiang Cha Cha was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Jin Xiaocan grabbed Zhao Haozi's collar, and Zhao Haozi's face was covered with sour and spicy vermicelli. Zhao Haozi was holding a pair of trousers in his hand and was only wearing a pair of shorts!
What's happening here?
"Xiaocan!" Jiang Cha Cha walked forward and pulled Jin Xiaocan away.
He Yao also stretched out his foot in time to bring Zhao Haozi's chair over, increasing the distance between the two of them: "Haozi, what's going on?"
Zhao Haozi was furious. He and Jin Xiaocan pointed at each other's red faces and said, "Ask her (him)!"
Separate the parties and take them aside for questioning.
Jiang Cha Cha learned from Jin Xiaocan that she was delivering food, but she didn't see anyone, so she walked straight in. Then she saw Zhao Haozi sitting on the toilet, and he didn't even close the door! Just like that, she saw something she shouldn't have seen, and he didn't ask any questions, but called the police without knowing the truth, saying that she was a female hooligan! So the two of them started fighting, and the food in her hand got out of control.
“Hahahahahaha…” Jiang Cha Cha laughed so hard that she fell backwards.
“Jiang Cha Cha, you’re still laughing!” Jin Xiaocan stamped his feet in anger. “You said that we have to make money if we can. That’s why I came out to deliver food on my day off!”
"I'm sorry, it's my fault, hahaha, it's my fault." Jiang Cha Cha wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "But Xiaocan, you may have thought too much. It's like this, there are only He Yao and Haozi in this company, and usually no one comes, so he may have become accustomed to it, and he didn't mean it."
"Don't give me that! He Yao is your boyfriend, and you are protecting him!" Jin Xiaocan looked aggrieved, "I'm still your employee and roommate!"
At this time, He Yao pulled Zhao Haozi over and heard Jin Xiaocan's complaint. Zhao Haozi was about to say something when He Yao said softly, "Mr. Jin, Haozi is wrong. Even if we are used to being together in the company, since he ordered takeout, he should have known that someone would come. It was wrong for him not to close the door. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Zhao Haozi had been scolded, but he still grumbled with dissatisfaction: "She could have just put the takeaway on the table. She wanted to come in on her own..."
"Hey! Our delivery mission is to deliver every order to the customer. Is it wrong for me to do my job conscientiously?" Jin Xiaocan had sharp ears, his hands on his hips, and his voice became a degree higher.
Seeing this, Jiang Cha Cha hurriedly smiled and tried to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, there's no friendship without fighting. This meal is on me. It's time for lunch too, let's sit down and eat together."
Zhao Haozi and Jin Xiaocan glared at each other and snorted.
After this incident, Jiang Cha Cha and He Yao's date turned into a dinner for four people.
In the barbecue restaurant, four people sat by the window, the aroma of the restaurant and the neon street outside complemented each other. In order to make Jin Xiaocan and Zhao Haozi shake hands and make peace, He Yao and Jiang Chacha were not idle either.
When Jiang Cha Cha and He Yao looked at each other while picking up the slices of meat, she turned her head away shyly, and in a trance, she seemed to see Gu Nanfeng.
She looked closely to get a closer look, but the car sped away again.
"Cha Cha," He Yao called her back to her senses, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned: "Oh, nothing."
At this time, her cell phone rang. It was a message from Gu Nanfeng - I'm going to see Uncle Jiang.
The person who was spying on them in the car just now was really him!
Jiang Cha Cha was not in the mood. After taking a few bites, she said goodbye to He Yao and the others and hurried back home.
When she rushed back home and found that there was no light on, she thought her father might still be setting up the stall and had not returned yet.
When I got to the entrance of the alley, I saw that my father's stall was still there, and the figure sitting in front was Gu Nanfeng.
The two of them were seen talking and laughing. Gu Nanfeng's profile stood out in the dim light. He actually looked a bit gentle, as if he wasn't playing tricks on me.
She seemed to have not seen her father so happy for a long time.
Jiang Cha Cha's chest was pounding and her eyes fell on Gu Nanfeng again.
Ever since she stopped answering this guy's calls, he hasn't shown up in the past two days, as if he didn't know that she was sick or that she had taken a leave of absence.
Today, she has decided to enter a new stage with He Yao, and he appears again in this way. What does he want?
Jiang Cha Cha stood there with mixed emotions. He turned his head and found her.
Jiang Cha Cha walked over reluctantly: "Boss Gu, why are you here?"
"Uncle Jiang, welcome me." Gu Nanfeng acted coquettishly towards Jiang Da in a particularly cunning way.
Jiang Da glanced at Jiang Cha Cha, with a hint of reproach in his tone: "You, you didn't even tell Dad that you were sick. Fortunately, Gu Nanfeng came to tell me. Thanks to him for taking care of you, of course Dad will treat you to this meal."
Jiang Cha Cha glared at Gu Nan Feng: Take care of her? When did he take care of her?
"Dad, I'm fine. Besides..."
Jiang Chacha snatched the note from Gu Nanfeng's hand and was about to expose his lie, but Gu Nanfeng got there first and said with a smile, "Besides, this is my job, it's no big deal. Uncle, it's really too polite of you to say that."
"Come here." Jiang Cha Cha pulled Gu Nanfeng aside.
Gu Nanfeng straightened his coat and looked at Jiang Cha Cha.
"Gu Nanfeng, don't come here again. I will go to the company to continue the interview tomorrow. After the interview, we will have nothing to do with each other. Did you hear me clearly?" Jiang Cha Cha said with a serious face and righteous words.
Gu Nanfeng frowned: "It seems that you have forgotten what I told you, right?"
Jiang Cha Cha turned her head and said, "Meini is very popular with Uncle Gu, and she has already joined the company to help you. Everyone knows about your relationship. If you continue to pester me like this, it will embarrass everyone!"
"My dad's liking for her is my dad's business. I told her very clearly that I don't like her." Gu Nanfeng pulled Jiang Cha Cha's shoulders. "I'm so shameless chasing after you, Jiang Cha Cha, do you think I'm idle, or do you really not see my feelings?"
His dark pupils emitted a scorching light that seemed to burn her.
His somewhat anxious and clear confession wrapped her tightly like tinfoil, making it difficult for her to breathe.
Jiang Cha Cha suddenly remembered the admission she made to Tang Meini in the infirmary, and she shuddered: No, this can't go on!
She pushed his hand away and said, "Gu Nanfeng, just give up! There's no turning back!"
"Then I will make you turn back." Gu Nanfeng's cold voice was filled with determination and arrogance. "I checked and found that Yaohao Technology Company is just a newly established small company. The main technical personnel is Zhao Haozi..."
"Gu Nanfeng, you are despicable!" Jiang Cha Cha was annoyed, "Don't touch He Yao and the others!"
"Maintenance started so soon?" Gu Nanfeng frowned unhappily. "Jiang Cha Cha, let me tell you, there is nothing I, Gu Nanfeng, can't do. You can try."
Jiang Cha Cha hates being threatened the most!
When she was a child, she set up a stall with her father. In addition to evading the urban management, they also had to deal with those ruffians. But she had never seen a more hateful ruffian than Gu Nanfeng!
She raised her leg and kicked him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Nanfeng learned his lesson and took a small step back, causing her kick to miss.
Jiang Cha Cha lost her balance and fell backwards, and Gu Nanfeng reached out and held her steadily.
His anger and irritation faded a lot, and then he showed helplessness and tenderness after realizing it belatedly: "Come to work tomorrow, I'll wait for you."
His voice always carries a kind of magical power that can calm people down, and no matter how fierce her temper is, it seems that she can be softened by it.
Gu Nanfeng let her go, took off his coat and put it on her: "You have just recovered from a serious illness, don't wear such thin clothes, I still want your body even if you don't want it."
"You!" Jiang Cha Cha's face turned red and she pretended to throw away his coat.
Gu Nanfeng grabbed his collar tightly and said, "Try throwing it away."
He switches between domineering and gentleness so skillfully and freely!
“Cha Cha, it’s easy for me to threaten you, you’d better be obedient and don’t waste your energy.” Gu Nanfeng raised his eyebrows and curled his lips mischievously.
She seized the opportunity and kicked hard!
Gu Nanfeng moaned softly, she finally succeeded.
He took a deep breath, said nothing, turned around, silently stiffened his right leg, moved to the car and got in.
Jiang Cha Cha finally couldn't help laughing.
You deserve it!
At this time, Jiang Da came to her side without knowing when, and said sincerely: "You still said you don't like him."
Jiang Cha Cha was startled: "What?"
"Every time I see him, you are always angry and amused." Jiang Da turned around with a smile, "Love is written in your eyes, daughter."
love.
What is love?
If I hadn't met Gu Nanfeng, the smile and the indifferent affection between me and He Yao might have also been love.
But after getting to know Gu Nanfeng, the earth-shattering, infatuated, angry, smiling and raging he brought to me seemed like even more of love.
Jiang Cha Cha received a greeting WeChat message from He Yao, asking her if she arrived home safely.
Jiang Cha Cha stared at the screen of her mobile phone, in a daze.
She likes Gu Nanfeng, but she can't bring him peace and glory; she can't hurt He Yao's gentleness.
Jiang Cha Cha couldn't help but hit his head and asked himself: "Jiang Cha Cha, what do you want?"
Jiang Cha Cha helped Jiang Da push the cart back home, sat in the living room, turned on the TV, and saw Gu Qi.
The only son Gu Nanfeng returned to the company as a college student and was very active, which naturally attracted the attention of many news media. Some reporters asked him how he felt about letting his son return to the company to help manage the family business.
Gu Qi said with a smile on his face: "My son is obedient and capable, of course I am very happy."
"Your Excellency is also a romantic figure in school. I heard that he has a girlfriend. I wonder what your standards are for your future daughter-in-law?"
Gu Qi smiled and said, "It's a little early to say this now, but I think I'm still a rather old-fashioned old man."
He performed Tai Chi very well, but the implication was still very obvious.
Jiang Cha Cha could tell that what he meant was a match made in heaven.
Gu Nanfeng is the future of the Gu family. Even if he doesn’t necessarily have to be surrounded by the daughters of wealthy companies, they should be the daughters of wealthy families.
There was no way she would be by his side.
Perhaps it was because she knew this, knew that there was no future, that she retreated step by step and deceived herself time and time again.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cha Cha returned to the room and reorganized and refined the content of the interview about Gu Nanfeng.
The next day, Jiang Cha Cha went to Gu's company, ready to meet Gu Nanfeng.
She had already calculated that it would only take ten minutes to finish the interview, which should be enough material for the remaining serial parts.
No, Gu Nanfeng saw her and said directly: "Let's go to the airport."
"Airport? Where to?" Jiang Cha Cha was confused.
"Just follow me." Gu Nanfeng pulled her over and walked downstairs without saying anything.
"Hey, are you going on a business trip? No, I won't go with you." Jiang Cha Cha refused and tried to break free from his hand, but he held her too tightly and she couldn't get away. She shouted anxiously, "I didn't bring anything!"
Gu Nanfeng dragged her to the door and took out her ID card, passport and other documents from her bag like a magic trick: "Don't worry, I've already got them for you."
Jiang Cha Cha's eyes widened: "You!"
"Get in the car, there's no time left." He said as he was about to push her into the car.
At this time, Tang Meini's voice came from behind: "Gu Nanfeng."
Jiang Cha Cha and Gu Nanfeng turned their heads. Tang Meini was wearing a professional dress with her long hair combed into a neat ponytail. She looked intelligent, capable, bright and attractive.
She walked forward, looked at them in surprise, and said, "Where are you going? The press conference is about to start."
Jiang Cha Cha was slightly startled and looked at Gu Nanfeng. Wasn't he going on a business trip?
"I don't need to inform you where I'm going." Gu Nanfeng said coldly, with one hand on Jiang Cha Cha's shoulder, "If you want to complain, go ahead. I don't care."
As he said that, he pushed Jiang Chacha into the car and slammed the door.
Jiang Cha Cha saw Tang Meini standing there stiffly through the black car window. Then the car started moving and her figure gradually went away.
"Now you took my car in front of her, Jiang Cha Cha, you can't deny it."
Jiang Chacha turned her head and saw Gu Nanfeng tilting his head smugly. She felt mixed emotions. She reached out to pinch his neck out of control: "Gu Nanfeng! You're crazy!"
Gu Nanfeng didn't hide and held her wrist: "I'm crazy! As early as when I found out that I liked you, I knew I was crazy."
He must be crazy to fall in love with this mortal enemy who loves money more than anything else; he must be crazy to do so many childish things; he must be crazy to do anything and give up his principles for her, just to have a legitimate reason to be with her.
"You!" Jiang Cha Cha was so anxious that her scalp was numb. "Minnie will definitely misunderstand me! I absolutely cannot let her down, I..." Jiang Cha Cha reached out to open the car door, but her hand was held by Gu Nanfeng, who pressed it tightly on her knees.
"Let me go!"
"Jiang Cha Cha, put away your damn idea." Gu Nanfeng frowned, "I didn't promise her anything at all, how can you say sorry? If you must say that, then from the moment you admitted that you liked me, you were already sorry."
Jiang Cha Cha was shocked again: "You...you...how did you know?"
Did he come to the infirmary that day?
Gu Nanfeng smiled but did not answer. He turned his head and looked forward: "Stay by my side obediently, and I promise to give you an interview you will never forget."
He said something meaningful, but she didn't understand what he meant.
The car sped forward, and Jiang Cha Cha's heart was completely confused.
After getting on the plane, Jiang Cha Cha wanted to send a WeChat message to He Yao, but her phone was taken away by Gu Nanfeng.
Jiang Cha Cha was so angry: "Give me back my phone! If I don't tell anyone, people will think I'm missing!"
"I already told your father when I asked him for the passport. Is there anyone else you want to inform?"
Jiang Cha Cha bit her lip: "Yes, He Yao!"
Gu Nanfeng retracted his gaze coldly: "Don't worry, he will know even if you don't say it."
"What do you mean?" She always felt that there was something else behind his words.
Gu Nanfeng played silent again.
Jiang Cha Cha reached out to press the service bell. Before the gentle and lovely stewardess came to her, she asked, "Where are we flying to? Can you lend me your phone?"
The flight attendant smiled and said, "This is a plane that will fly to Barcelona, ​​Spain. You are now in the first class cabin. I'm sorry, ma'am, we are about to take off and all communication equipment has been cut off."
Jiang Cha Cha deeply suspected that this flight attendant was on the same side as Gu Nanfeng, and that she was going to be kidnapped by Gu Nanfeng and taken to a foreign country where she would have no relatives.
The light outside the window became brighter and brighter as the plane took off, like opening the door to a new world and putting away all the sorrows and hatreds on land.
Amid the clouds, Jiang Cha Cha gently pulled up the partition. When she turned around, she saw that Gu Nanfeng, who was sitting next to her, had fallen asleep.
He was snoring softly and seemed to be sleeping soundly.
The long, slightly curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and a halo appeared on the beautiful and firm nose.
She just stared at it absent-mindedly.
How tired is this guy to sleep so soundly?
The Gu Group was like a huge aircraft carrier. He was only in his twenties, but he had to bear pressures that were not suitable for his age. She had always thought he was a giant, and finally saw his weak side as an ordinary person. Her heart sank for no reason, and a warm current flowed through her unconsciously.
Perhaps, only like now, when no one knows, can she look at him with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Jiang Cha Cha withdrew her gaze bitterly.
At this moment, her shoulders suddenly felt heavy.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Nanfeng's breath followed.
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned at first, then subconsciously straightened her back. He rubbed his head against her neck as if he was acting coquettishly.
It takes six or seven hours to fly from City T to Barcelona.
Jiang Cha Cha served as his human pillow for six or seven hours. When they got off the plane, Jiang Cha Cha felt her entire right shoulder was numb.
Gu Nanfeng didn't understand what was going on, so he took Jiang Chacha's hand and asked, "Why is it so cold?"
If the qi and blood are not flowing smoothly, of course you will feel cold!
After getting off the plane, Gu Nanfeng pushed the luggage cart and went to the airport gate with Jiang Cha Cha.
Jiang Cha Cha originally thought that a group of people would come to pick her up at the airport, but she didn't expect that after Gu Nanfeng took the keys from a blond and blue-eyed young man, he went straight to the driver's seat.
After Jiang Cha Cha got in the car, she couldn't help but confirm: "Just the two of us?"
Gu Nanfeng said "hmm": "How many more do you want?"
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned for a moment, staring straight ahead, feeling that something was going to happen, and her heartbeat became irregular again.
Gu Nanfeng suppressed his smile and said, "Being alone with a woman in a foreign country doesn't seem like the rhythm of working. Jiang Cha Cha, do you think so?"
Jiang Cha Cha was teased and her face turned red: "No!"
Suddenly, Gu Nanfeng's body pressed over her. She was startled and leaned back: "You...what are you doing?"
Gu Nanfeng had an innocent expression and pulled the seat belt next to her: "I'll fasten your seat belt for you."
Damn it! She was teased again!
She seemed to see his vague smile, which made the closed space inside the car even more ambiguous.
An hour later, the car drove towards the seaside in Barcelona.
This unexpected journey finally had an answer - marine environmental data records.
"I bought an island nearby to build an eco-hotel. However, the tourism here has been overdeveloped recently, which has caused damage to the ecology. Garbage and foam are everywhere in the sea water, and the living environment of the seabed creatures is threatened. I want to record the data myself, send it to Professor Charlie, and then work together to come up with a remedial plan."
Jiang Cha Cha nodded and lowered her eyes.
So that's it. It turns out that he did not give up his dream, but combined his dream and career together.
It turned out that he wanted her to be a witness.
"Why do you look so lost?" He turned his head and joked, "Do you really think I brought you here to talk and take a walk?"
"Stop being so conceited!" Jiang Cha Cha picked up a stone and threw it at him.
Gu Nanfeng didn't even dodge, the stone hit him squarely on the forehead and he fell down!
Jiang Cha Cha cried out "Ah" and ran forward quickly: "Gu Nanfeng, are you okay?"
Gu Nanfeng covered his head and groaned in pain.
Jiang Cha Cha panicked and looked for her phone to call 120, but then she remembered that this was Spain and said, “Damn it, what’s the number for 120 in Spain…Ah!”
He grabbed her and held her in his arms.
Jiang Cha Cha stared, completely furious: "You lied to me again!"
Gu Nanfeng stared at her seriously: "Do you know why a woman is always deceived by a man?"
Jiang Cha Cha realized what he was going to say and reached out to cover his mouth, but he pulled her away: "That means this woman likes this man. Jiang Cha Cha, how long are you going to be a coward?"
His forehead was really hit, and the redness and swelling gradually became obvious.
Jiang Cha Cha felt a little distressed and didn't move.
The sea breeze carries the waves to hit the reefs, and the crisp sounds echo one after another. The blue sky at the coast connects to the distant sky and earth, and the beige beach still retains the warmth accumulated by a day's sunshine.
The world is all around us, and it is a big world.
The two of them felt small in a very big world.
He asked her how long she would continue to be a coward.
She was also asking herself whether she should cross the line of her inner defense regardless of the consequences.
"I like you, so what?" Jiang Cha Cha pushed him away and sat up. "Just because I like you doesn't mean I have to be with you. Gu Nanfeng, I will never hurt Tang Meini."
Behind her, Gu Nanfeng didn't say anything.
After a while, he reached out and touched her head, sighing softly: "You fool."
He seemed to be scolding her, and also seemed to be scolding himself.
Jiang Cha Cha's nose felt sore and she tried hard not to cry, letting her tears be carried away by the sea breeze.
Gu Nanfeng did not force her or embarrass her anymore. He took her on a boat to the island he bought.
He put on a diving suit and jumped into the sea. Jiang Cha Cha was waiting for him on the shore. Every time she saw him dive into the sea, her heart would rise; every time she saw him floating up with garbage, her heart would fall at ease.
But she won't show any of this on her face.
Because of his equipment, Gu Nanfeng did not dive very deep. He just roughly cleaned up some of the garbage on the surface. Before he knew it, it was dark.
Jiang Cha Cha was worried that something might happen if it was too late, so after he came up, she grabbed his arm and said, "I'm hungry, let's go eat first."
After Gu Nanfeng bought the island, the hotel part was still to be developed, but other places had become active. After hearing the news, some business-minded Chinese people also came to the island to open shops and restaurants.
Gu Nanfeng took her to a bar, a post-modern style bar filled with pictures of Andy Lau and his songs playing on the speakers. It was obvious that the owner of the bar was a die-hard fan of Andy Lau.
Gu Nanfeng and she sat down in a booth nearby. A gentle man in a white shirt and black vest came over and asked, "What would you two like to drink?"
Seeing that the other person was young, Jiang Cha Cha did not think of him as a boss, and could not help but look at Gu Nanfeng: "There is no food here, right?"
Gu Nanfeng smiled and said, "What are your signature dishes today? Let's serve them."
The gentleman nodded and said yes, then left.
Gu Nanfeng poured water for Jiang Chacha: "He is the boss here. If there are Chinese people visiting, there will be food for them."
Jiang Cha Cha looked at him and said, "You know all this."
Gu Nanfeng smiled: "I also know that the reason why he likes Andy Lau is that he is in love with a French girl who is a die-hard fan of Andy Lau. In order to pursue her, he opened a bar here."
People always love gossip. After hearing such a romantic beginning, Jiang Cha Cha couldn't help but be curious about the result: "What happened next? Did he catch her?"
"I guess he didn't catch up with her." Gu Nanfeng's eyes fell on a lamp at the door of the store. "If he did catch up with her, the lamp wouldn't be lit."
Jiang Cha Cha followed his gaze. She didn't pay much attention to it when she entered the room just now. She thought it was just a decorative light, but the color was a little special, pink.
Gu Nanfeng told her that there was a pink candlestick in the lampshade, and if she got closer she would smell a faint scent of cherry blossoms. It was said that this was the lamp he had specially left for her.
"She was an exchange student from France to Spain, and she met him at a study tour. They had a crush on each other, but unfortunately she left before he could express his feelings."
In just a few words, without going into detail, he easily sketched out a plot that made people imagine.
What makes two people fall in love?
What makes love sprout but not bloom?
While Jiang Cha Cha was lost in thought, she heard Gu Nanfeng whisper in her ear: "There are so many people in this world, and it is a very low probability for two people to meet and fall in love. Only if you know how to cherish, you won't have any regrets."
She looked at him, and in the dim light, his dark eyes were like two fires in the wilderness.
By using the incident with the bar owner, he wanted to tell her that love does not require any grudges, it only needs purity, and that is the only way to achieve happiness.
While the two people were looking at each other, the boss served the dishes.
Gu Nanfeng smiled and moved the teacup aside, motioning Jiang Chacha to try it carefully: "You will find that the Chinese food here is quite authentic."
The boss asked, "Would you like a bottle of wine?"
Gu Nanfeng refused neatly: "No, I'm afraid of having sex after drinking."
This guy!
Jiang Chacha was red from the top of her head to her toenails, like a ripe prawn.
During the meal, Jiang Cha Cha saw a piece of news from China on the TV hanging on the pillar.
"It is said that Gu Qi, the chairman of Gu's Group, originally planned to announce the marriage of his only son Gu Nanfeng today, but suddenly canceled the press conference for no reason..."
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned for a moment, and looked at Gu Nanfeng who was eating seriously with his head down opposite her, and her heart was in turmoil.
It turns out that this was the reason why he was so anxious behind the official business.
"You don't have to do this for me..."
"Who said I did it for you?" Gu Nanfeng interrupted her and raised his chin slightly, "I did it for myself."
For my own happiness.
For my happiness and yours.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when the two of them came out of the bar after eating.
This street, which was relatively busier than other places, also became quiet. The dim street lights reflected the distinctive stone walls on both sides, leaving only the accumulated silence.
Jiang Cha Cha and Gu Nanfeng walked side by side, and their figures reflected on the stone slabs occasionally intertwined.
His hands touched hers from time to time, and the soft feeling was like a feather tickling his heart.
When going up the stairs, Gu Nanfeng held Jiang Cha Cha's hand.
She tried to pull away, but he held on tighter.
As the two looked at each other, a strong light came from the front.
Gu Nanfeng put out his hand to protect Jiang Chacha's face and turned his head to look.
In the strong light, a figure approached from afar, and in a trance, Tang Meini walked in front of them.
Jiang Cha Cha was stunned: "Minnie."
She is always like this. Her weak spot is Tang Meini. It's really infuriating that she feels guilty when she sees Tang Meini.
Gu Nanfeng frowned and saw the moment from darkness to light. The coldness on Tang Meini's face was replaced by a smile in the next second, as if the previous coldness was an illusion.
"Gu Nanfeng, Cha Cha, I'm here."
Gu Nanfeng felt Jiang Chacha’s hand suddenly turned cold, and clenched his fist to get it out of his palm: “Then you guys chat, I…”
He held Jiang Cha Cha's arm: "Wait for me here."
As he spoke, he walked straight forward and motioned Tang Meini to follow him.
Two people walked to the car.
Gu Nanfeng didn't wait for Tang Meini to speak before saying, "I flew here because I didn't want to get involved in the press conference that you and my dad were planning. Tang Meini, don't make me hate you."
Tang Meini smiled awkwardly: "I know. I'm not here to force you to go back."
Gu Nanfeng looked at her forced smile and didn't believe it.
Tang Meini clenched her hands and put them in front of her, trying hard to ease the pain in her heart: "You and Uncle Gu's relationship has finally eased, don't make it so awkward because of me. This time I came here under the pretext of helping you. Don't worry, I told Uncle Gu about the press conference, and I took the initiative to cancel it."
"Why do you want to help me?" Gu Nanfeng regretted asking. The next second, her eyes were full of sadness and she said, "Because I like you. I am willing to do anything for you, even if you don't like me."
Gu Nanfeng frowned and turned his head slightly: "You can leave Gu's and go back to school. You don't have to get involved in the affairs between me and my dad."
Tang Meini lowered her head, her self-esteem buried in the dust: "Gu Nanfeng, I just want to stay quietly where I can see you and do something for you. Just treat this as my last chance. When I go back, I will take the initiative to resign from Uncle Gu, okay?"
After she said this, Gu Nanfeng didn't know what to say.
He said "hmm" and walked towards Jiang Chacha.
Tang Meini just stood beside the car, silently clenching her fists, becoming the background in the darkness.
Gu Nanfeng took Jiang Chacha's hand again and smiled gently: "Let's go."
He didn't even turn his head, and she didn't dare to look back either.
Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, Jiang Cha Cha could tell from their expressions and actions that Tang Meini had traveled thousands of miles but didn't get the answer she wanted.
This time, the false illusion of harmony between the two of them that Tang Meini had created in front of her was like a curtain being pushed back, revealing the truth.
Jiang Cha Cha secretly glanced at Gu Nanfeng's determined profile, and finally understood what kind of stubbornness the liking he talked about was.
Gu Nanfeng said: "She came here to help me with official business. After she left, she quit Gu's and returned to T University. She is a smart girl and knows what to do."
He threw himself at her with all his heart and soul, without a moment's hesitation.
This time, she told herself to let go of the knot in her heart and be brave for herself and Gu Nanfeng.
Tang Meini drove back to the same hotel with them.
Three people booked three rooms.
The moonlight in Barcelona shines on every corner and also illuminates the hearts of sleepless people.
Jiang Cha Cha took a can of cold beer from the refrigerator and went to the balcony. She saw Tang Meini was still awake and standing on the balcony.
Jiang Cha Cha didn't back off. Instead, he leaned over to the railing, opened his beer and reached out to clink glasses. "One?"
Tang Meini was holding a glass of red wine. She smiled and clinked her glasses with him: "Come on."
"It seems like we are back to that summer vacation in high school." Tang Meini took a sip of red wine and said, "We returned to school and hid on the rooftop of the teaching building to drink to commemorate our high school life that is about to say goodbye to us."
Jiang Cha Cha nodded, the past friendship was still vivid in her mind. Those were the green years that she would never forget even when she was in her seventies or eighties. Whenever they were mentioned, those scenes came alive again.
"That time, you even brought some expensive red wine from home. I told you that we were only eighteen years old and we shouldn't drink red wine. We should drink beer instead."
"We tried to convince each other for a long time, but in the end, no one could convince the other, so we mixed red wine and beer together." Tang Meini also laughed, "In the end, we all got drunk."
Jiang Cha Cha curled her lips, a trace of bitterness flashed across her fair face: "At that time, you told me that our tastes were so different that we would never like the same boy in the future."
At this point, Tang Meini laughed out loud: "Yes, yes, I remember. I said that the boy I like must be the best in the world, only then he is worthy of me. You said that you only like Chairman Mao, and it is hard to imagine that you will be attracted to other boys, because they are not as good-looking as Chairman Mao."
After laughing, Tang Meini drank the wine in her hand and tears welled up in her eyes.
Jiang Cha Cha looked at her: "I'm sorry, Minnie, I swear, I tried. I really tried hard to deny, refuse, and escape, I..."
Tang Meini wiped her tears with the back of her hand: "Sorry? Why do I feel like 'm always hearing you apologizing to me? Jiang Cha Cha, are you an idiot? Why do you always apologize to me?" She pinched Jiang Cha Cha's face, "Hey! It was obviously you who confessed to him first, it was obviously you who had something to do with him first, it was obviously..."
The person he has liked has always been you, and he has never liked me.
Jiang Cha Cha reached out to wipe the tears from Tang Meini's face, but the more she wiped , the more there were and she could never wipe them all away.
Before she knew it, Jiang Cha Cha was also in tears.
The two hugged each other and let each other's tears flow.
"I'm sorry, Minnie."
"You still say that! Jiang Cha Cha, you still say that!"
The feelings between girls are hard to explain. When they say “it’s okay”, they don’t really mean it’s okay; when they say “I’m sorry”, they mean thank you; and sometimes crying means true forgiveness.
Jiang Cha Cha had already forgotten what the two people said next.
Because the next day, with her super swollen eyes, she saw the refrigerator door was half open and discovered that all the beer inside had been drunk. Only then did she struggle to recall how drunk she was the night before.
Gu Nanfeng knocked on the door and Jiang Chacha went to open it.
Looking at her like she had crawled out of hell, Gu Nanfeng couldn't help but be stunned: "What did you do last night?"
"Drinking with Minnie." Jiang Cha Cha scratched her messy hair and opened her mouth, which was still full of the smell of alcohol.
Gu Nanfeng frowned slightly: "You can't drink much, she's fine downstairs, she's already ordered breakfast."
Jiang Cha Cha glared at Gu Nan Feng: "Do you dislike me?"
Gu Nanfeng was stunned, and smiled with flowers blooming in the corners of his eyes: "Jiang Cha Cha, are you jealous?"
He reached out and rubbed her head lovingly: "I just like the little tiger look of you. This is my Jiang Cha Cha."
Jiang Cha Cha took advantage of the situation and pulled his hand over to bite it, but when she really bit it, she was reluctant to use too much force.
She pushed his hand away angrily and turned to go to the bathroom.
Gu Nanfeng hugged her from behind: "Look, things will always work out. I'm very happy that you and Tang Meini can be friends again."
His voice carried the scent of the first ray of sunshine in the morning. Jiang Chacha lowered her head meekly: "Yeah, I feel very happy too."
They cried and drank like that last night, and all the conflicts have been resolved.
Jiang Cha Cha believes that Tang Meini will definitely find her true happiness.
