Volume 9, Chapter 20 (End) Chapter 608: Falling in love and finding inspiration
On Friday, at Carl Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., a middle-aged man in a white shirt and a blue tie stood up and looked at everyone and shouted:
"Let's get off work, everyone. Mr. Zhang will be here soon, so let's hurry up!"
"I've been waiting for you to say that!"
"Come on, come on, remember to take your things. Bring the flowers with you, and don't forget the fruit that Mr. Zhang bought!"
"Then I'll go over first. You guys hurry up and bring all your things!"
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, take care!"
"bye!"
…
The company was bustling with activity. Everyone was busy going to the hotel to attend the full-month banquet for Mr. Zhang's son. Only Luo Yan was sitting alone in her seat, looking a little depressed. Today was the full-month banquet for Mr. Zhang's son, and it was also her birthday. She had originally agreed with Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo to celebrate her 25th birthday, but Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo had something urgent to do and couldn't come, so she could only postpone her birthday celebration to the evening.
Luo Yan held her phone in her hand and opened the voice messages sent to her by Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo one by one:
"I'm sorry, Little Stone, I suddenly have something urgent to do, I will be there later, you guys gather first, you don't have to wait for me, bye!"
"The whole team is doing training. I may be there late. You guys eat first. You don't have to wait for me. Sorry, Luo Yan!"
"The leaders are staying up late right now. Can I go over right after the meeting?"
"My male artist is fighting again. I'll be there later. These post-2000s boys are really giving me a lot of worry!"
…
Everyone was busy and couldn't come. Luo Yan understood, but she still felt a sense of loss. At this time, her colleague Jing Yi shouted:
"Luo Yan, I'm leaving first!"
"OK!"
Jingyi and the others left, leaving Luo Yan alone in the company. She was a little dazed. At this moment, her mobile phone received a reminder text message. She opened the text message and took a look. It turned out to be a text message from Carl Company wishing her a happy birthday:
"Dear Luo Yan, hello, thank you for your hard work for the company this year! Today is your 25th birthday, and the company has given you 10 kilograms of oil, 20 kilograms of rice, and a 500-yuan supermarket shopping card! Please go to the administration department to collect it. Happy birthday!"
After reading the text message, Luo Yan suddenly felt very aggrieved. She couldn't help pouting, with an aggrieved look on her face. After hesitating for a while, she found the phone number of the 4S store in her address book and dialed it. After a few beeps, the call was connected:
"Hello, is this the 4S store?"
"Well, is my car fixed?"
…
Luo Yan stopped the car in front of the Alice Hotel, got out, opened the back door and said with a smile:
"Uncle, please come this way!"
"Okay, thank you, little girl!"
"You're welcome. It's my duty. Please take care!"
After receiving the last guest, Luo Yan walked towards Mr. Zhang, who was standing at the hotel entrance to greet guests. She was about to ask him if there was anything else he could help with, when she overheard a conversation between him and his father-in-law:
"Have you prepared the wine?"
"Everything is ready. We have all kinds of wine. Dad, what kind of wine do you want to drink?"
"I want to drink red wine. Do you have any?"
"Of course I have it. Don't worry, I have prepared red wine, white wine and beer!"
"That's good. All the relatives and friends are here today. You must treat them with good wine and delicious food!"
"Don't worry, I will definitely entertain you well, I will definitely entertain you well!"
"Um!"
After sending his father-in-law to the hotel, Mr. Zhang turned around and found Luo Yan and hurriedly instructed:
"Xiao Luo, I'll assign you a task right now. Go buy me five boxes of red wine!"
"Five cases of wine?"
"Let me think about it, I'll buy four boxes. I'll send the name to your phone!"
"good!"
After listening to Mr. Zhang's instructions, Luo Yan turned around and was about to go to the nearby shopping mall to buy red wine. Mr. Zhang immediately stopped her and said:
"Wait a minute, I haven't finished yet. Compare prices and don't overpay. Got it?"
"Got it, shop around, four cases of wine?"
"Well, go ahead, hurry up, the feast will start soon, okay?"
"knew!"
Luo Yan hurriedly trotted to her new energy vehicle and drove to buy red wine. She looked for several stores and found that the price of the red wine that Mr. Zhang wanted to buy was almost the same. She hurriedly bought four boxes and rushed to the hotel. When she was carrying the red wine, her hand was accidentally hit and she cried out in pain. She was very angry. The hotel had all kinds of red wine. Why did she have to buy unknown brand red wine from outside?
As expected, Mr. Zhang is stingy . He only spent a few hundred dollars on four boxes of red wine. Luo Yan even felt embarrassed for him. Is this red wine?
On the way back to the hotel, Luo Yan received a call from Mr. Zhang:
"Where have you been?"
"I just bought some wine and I'm on my way back. There's a bit of a traffic jam here!"
"Why are you taking so long to buy wine? The banquet is about to start, hurry up, how do you do things?"
"I'll be right back, Mr. Zhang. There's just a little traffic jam on the road. Please wait a moment..."
"That's it. I'm hanging up now. Come back soon. If there's a traffic jam, take another route. Why are you so stupid?"
"But the navigation said..."
Before Luo Yan could finish, Mr. Zhang hung up the phone. At this time, the navigation reported:
"One hundred meters ahead, keep right and exit the main road. You have deviated from the route. We have replanned your route. Please turn right at the intersection ahead..."
"You have deviated from the route. We have re-planned your route. Please turn left at the next intersection..."
"Should I turn left or right? What kind of crappy navigation is this? I don't need you, I can drive myself!"
Anxious and angry, Luo Yan turned off the navigation system and drove to the hotel. Finally, she got completely lost and drove into the community to be demolished. She turned left and right but couldn't find the exit. Looking at the empty old community outside the car window, Luo Yan couldn't help but panic:
"Where is this? Is there a place like this in Shenzhen?"
…
Time goes back. In Yuan Xudong's rental house, Ding Yixuan, wearing twin ponytails and a Hello Kitty apron, brought out a large bowl of fresh fish soup from the kitchen and placed it on the table in the living room. There were also several other dishes on the table. Yuan Xudong sat at the table. He gently sniffed the dishes on the table and smiled:
"It smells so good and looks delicious. Thank you Yixuan!"
"You're welcome. I want to thank you. The story you told me gave me a lot of inspiration. My editor also said it was very good!"
Ding Yixuan said with a smile, and suddenly she saw the red claw marks on the back of Yuan Xudong's hand, and she couldn't help but said nervously:
"What happened to your hand? Why is it broken? Did Brother Gou scratch you?"
"Oh, you're talking about this!"
Yuan Xudong glanced at his right hand and said with a smile:
"It's all my fault, actually. I was curious about your masturbation and couldn't help wanting to try it myself, and ended up getting tickled by it!"
"Why don't you treat the wound first?"
"It's okay, it will heal itself in a while!"
"Does it hurt?"
"A little bit, but it doesn't matter, I used to often ..."
"Let me disinfect you, and then we'll go to the hospital. I'll pay for the medical expenses. I'm sorry!"
As Ding Yixuan was talking, she opened her usual medicine box, took out the medical disinfectant alcohol cotton ball from it and was about to treat the wound on the back of Yuan Xudong's hand in advance. She sat down in front of Yuan Xudong, tore open the outer packaging of the medical disinfectant alcohol cotton ball with both hands, then supported Yuan Xudong's injured right hand with her left hand, and held the medical disinfectant alcohol cotton ball in her right hand to gently wipe the wound on the back of his hand.
The wound was a little painful, and Yuan Xudong deliberately couldn't help but hissed softly, frowning slightly. His handsome face expressed very subtly that although my wound is very painful, I will still bear it. At this moment, Yuan Xudong finally became the person he once hated the most, a weak and fragile little fresh meat. It hurts so much, the baby feels sad, but the baby just won't say it, just take a good look for yourself!
As expected, the crying child gets the milk. Seeing Yuan Xudong in so much pain, Ding Yixuan treated the small wound on the back of his hand and said with concern:
"Does it hurt?"
"A little bit, be gentle!"
Yuan Xudong nodded shamelessly. An emoticon suddenly flashed through his mind, the one with the funny emoticon of "old face blushing". Isn't that what he looks like now?
"Then I'll be gentler. I'll take you to the hospital and let the doctor take a look at you, okay?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Yuan Xudong pretended to be childish, looking at Ding Yixuan who was wiping and disinfecting his wound very close to him. She lowered her head slightly and gently wiped the wound. Her two ponytails were placed on one shoulder each, hanging down in front of her chest. She was wearing a white shirt with a high round collar. Even if she leaned forward, Yuan Xudong could only see a small part of her white neck.
She was wearing a Hello Kitty apron with a wide white strap around her neck and the front of the apron resting on her chest. Because she was leaning forward, from Yuan Xudong's perspective, he could see that her chest was bulging, and it was obviously very large. Thinking to himself that it was inappropriate to look at her, Yuan Xudong shifted his gaze to her face. Ding Yixuan's face was not as delicate as Liang Shuang's, but it was very gentle, a healing face, especially suitable for a mature man like Yuan Xudong who had experienced many vicissitudes of life.
Because the distance was too close, coupled with Yuan Xudong's undisguised burning gaze, Ding Yixuan seemed to be aware of it. Her face turned red, and even her ears and neck turned red. She was obviously very shy. She wiped the wound hurriedly and whispered:
"It's done, let's eat !"
"good!"
Yuan Xudong smiled, picked up his chopsticks, pointed to a plate on the table and asked:
"What is this?"
"Abalone, have you never eaten it before?"
Ding Yixuan smiled and looked at the innocent smile on her face. Yuan Xudong definitely thought it was wrong, but on the surface he shook his head and said:
"I've never eaten it before. Is abalone expensive?"
"It depends on the situation. There are very expensive abalones and there are also cheaper ones. I bought the cheaper ones!"
“I see!”
Looking at the abalone, which was not small in size, Yuan Xudong knew that its price was probably around several thousand yuan each. It seemed that Ding Yixuan was indeed a rich girl. This table of dishes looked simple, but the actual cost was not cheap. Yuan Xudong thought to himself that he was pretending to be poor, and Ding Yixuan was also playing the role of an ordinary girl. She was dressed simply, without any brand-name clothes or bags, nor did she wear any jewelry. She looked like a girl next door, but she could afford to eat high-end abalone that cost several thousand yuan each. What kind of plot was this?
A girl working in a pet shop, a failed online novel writer, a roommate who likes to cook and clean, these are quite a lot of identities. Yuan Xudong smiled secretly, as expected, beautiful girls are not simple, my mother did not lie to me, the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie, wait, something is wrong, this sentence is not right, my mother is also very beautiful, is she lying to me too?
"What are you thinking about? So absorbed in thought?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong in a daze, Ding Yixuan picked up an abalone for him and said:
"How about the taste of this abalone?"
"good!"
Yuan Xudong picked up the abalone and took a small bite. Ding Yixuan asked:
"How does it taste? Is it delicious?"
"The dishes you cook are all delicious, even better than my mom's, with good color, aroma and taste!"
Yuan Xudong exclaimed. In order to make the girl happy, he decided to put his mother in a difficult position first. After all, when she becomes a mother-in-law, how can such a gentle and kind girl not respect her?
"Then eat more!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong praising her like this, Ding Yixuan felt shy and happy. She picked up another abalone for Yuan Xudong. In return, Yuan Xudong also picked up an abalone for her and said:
"You eat too, don't just focus on me!"
"good!"
Ding Yixuan smiled and started eating with Yuan Xudong. She could cook, liked to do housework, spoke and acted gently. She was Chinese, but had a temperament like a Japanese Yamato Nadeshiko. Yuan Xudong felt very satisfied with her. This was the ideal type of man: a gentle and virtuous girl with a quiet and reserved personality who liked small animals and had noble virtues. Which man wouldn’t like such a girl?
As time passed, Yuan Xudong and Ding Yixuan ate their meals in silence. The atmosphere began to become a little strange. After a while, Yuan Xudong and Ding Yixuan looked up at each other almost at the same time and said:
"you……"
"you……"
"You go first..."
"You go first..."
Almost in unison, Yuan Xudong and Ding Yixuan looked at each other and smiled:
"You speak first, ladies first!"
"good!"
Ding Yixuan smiled and said:
"What I want to say is..."
"Wait a moment!"
Yuan Xudong shouted, pointing to the corner of his mouth to show Ding Yixuan:
"What's that stuck to the corner of your mouth?"
"What?"
Ding Yixuan asked as she reached out to wipe the corner of her mouth with a napkin, but she still didn't wipe the most accurate spot. At this time, Yuan Xudong stood up, leaning forward slightly. In Ding Yixuan's surprised and shy eyes, he reached out and gently wiped the corner of her mouth and smiled:
"Here, it looks like ketchup!"
“Hmm~~”
Ding Yixuan nodded shyly and said:
"Have you eaten well? If you have, I will take you to the hospital!"
"good!"
…
Coming out of a nearby hospital, Yuan Xudong looked at Ding Yixuan who was following him and said with a smile:
"It's okay, don't worry. Oh, by the way, I've always wanted to ask, what are you wearing on your head?"
“Are you talking about this [Success] post?”
Ding Yixuan took off a note with the word "Success" written on it from his head and pasted it on Yuan Xudong's hair with his backhand, laughing:
“This is my [Success] post, I’ll give it to you. I wish you success!”
"Then thank you, thank you for giving me success!"
Yuan Xudong smiled slightly. He had the "Success" post on his head that Ding Yixuan had pasted on him. Looking at Ding Yixuan who was so close to him and listening to her cheerful and graceful laughter, Yuan Xudong could no longer hold back the urge in his heart. He tentatively reached out to hold Ding Yixuan's hand. When their fingertips touched, Ding Yixuan obviously shrank back, but Yuan Xudong held her back. He held her hand without letting go. Ding Yixuan gently pulled it twice, and her face flushed as she said, "I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired. I'm so tired.
"Let go, what are you doing?"
"this……"
Yuan Xudong rolled his eyes and said shamelessly:
"I'm writing a modern romance novel right now, but I have no inspiration and can't write it. Don't you want to write a romance novel too?"
Ding Yixuan raised his eyes to look at Yuan Xudong and blushed in confusion:
"Does this have anything to do with you holding my hand?"
"It does matter. We've never been in a relationship before. How about this, you be my girlfriend and I be your boyfriend, and let's find some inspiration?"
"this……"
Ding Yixuan blushed a little. She was naive, but not stupid. She felt that Yuan Xudong was a big bad wolf with bad intentions at the moment, but she did not feel disgusted. Instead, she was eager to try. Facing Yuan Xudong's burning gaze, she nodded gently and said shyly:
"Okay, but you can only hold my hand, you can't do anything else..."
Ding Yixuan's voice became smaller and smaller. If Yuan Xudong hadn't been right next to her, he wouldn't have been able to hear it clearly. He smiled and said:
"Okay, I promise not to do anything else!"
