Chapter 10.
The autumn wind blows slowly, and the sycamore leaves fall with the wind.
Shu Qing and her colleagues walked into the elevator one after another. She treated people with a smile and listened to her colleagues' voices, which was no different from usual. But those who are attentive will find that there is fatigue between Shu Qing's eyebrows, as if there are a few strands of sadness lingering around. She responded to her colleague's words casually, her smiling eyes were particularly beautiful, and she unknowingly attracted the attention of other people in the elevator.
Shu Qing has a very good personality and work attitude, and no colleague in the department dislikes her. When she first came to work in the company, her pretty face caused a wave of discussion about her, so Shu Qing's name spread quickly in the department, and everyone knew that this intern was a beautiful woman.
"What's wrong with you these days? You feel lost." A colleague who had been chatting with Shu Qing expressed her suspicions. She and Shu Qing were close colleagues, and they both came from the same university, so Liu He takes good care of Shu Qing privately.
Liu He would notice something strange about Shu Qing. She accidentally saw Shu Qing sitting in a daze in the tea room. She was completely lifeless, like a flower that had been beaten by frost.
Shu Qing usually didn't show anything wrong. When she was alone with her, Shu Qing relaxed her tension. No wonder she was caught by her colleague Liu He.
Liu He asked Shu Qing with concern. This was not the first time she saw Shu Qing in a daze. Not long ago, they met at the door of the company. Shu Qing was standing under the tree holding milk tea. Liu He called her several times but didn't get Shu Qing's response. So after the two of them left the elevator, Liu He couldn't help but ask.
Shu Qing smiled unnaturally and said, "I'm fine. I just have a little insomnia recently."
How could Liu He not see how secretive she was and patted her shoulder helplessly. Since Shu Qing didn't want to say it, she wouldn't force her without courtesy.
Liu He looked at Shu Qing with pity. It was unimaginable that someone would hurt such a woman. It was so cruel.
Shu Qing will give people a desire to protect her, and Liu He is no exception. Probably because of something on her mind, Shu Qing's fragile feeling became stronger and stronger, and she really wanted to have someone hold her in their hands.
"If you want to find someone to talk to, I will be a good tree hole."
Shu Qing clenched the cup of milk tea. Sensing Liu He's kindness, she showed a bright smile without hesitation and said, "I know, thank you."
The troubles that have been bothering me for several days have actually been answered for a long time. To put it simply, it is the inferiority complex at work.
She has lived for more than 20 years and met many people, but she has never had an inferiority complex. As for why she feel inferior, it comes from being a woman.
Shu Qing sighed in frustration, her eyes resting on the fingers of her left hand, nothing in sight.
When she thought of the ring, she frowned involuntarily.
It's just an empty joy.
She and Tangli hadn't seen each other for four or five days. Ever since Tangli sent Shu Qing home that day, the two had lost contact. It's like they are back in their own worlds, without interfering with each other.
It was also on that day that Shu Qing suddenly realized.
She thought she was very familiar with Tang Li, even though she had proposed to her, but she suddenly discovered that she and her were actually strangers.
Because...
She doesn't even have Tangli's contact information.
If she hadn't met her by chance before, she might never have known her in this life.
She is very much like the wind.
It's everywhere, but you can never catch it.
Shu Qing felt that she was very greedy.
She and Tangli did not belong to the same world. Why did she always want to have something happen with her?
In the past few days, Shu Qing would always dream about the scene of Tangli's proposal that day, but when she woke up, she would find that it was just a dream.
She has nothing to do with Tang Li. Even the ring was worn to protect her from being harassed by Qin Mo. If Qin Mo hadn't been there, then this ring probably wouldn't even exist.
Just like, she and Tangli.
It's all thanks to Qin Mo that they can have contacts and involvements.
Shu Qing took a sip of milk tea. The aroma of oatmeal made her feel a little more warm, and her heart didn't seem so cold anymore.
She cheered up again, raised her smile, and welcomed this new day.
She should learn to exclude "Tangli" from her own world, and as for the ring, she should find a chance to return it to Tangxin.
Why should she be so sentimental?
"Shu Qing, we have a barbecue party tonight, you can come and join us."
Shu Qing looked up at the colleague who invited her, thought for a while, nodded, and said, "Okay, no problem."
Keep yourself busy and you will stop thinking about things.
"Hey, there must be a lot of people at the party today."
Shu Qing pursed her lips and smiled, causing her colleague to pinch her cheek, and then said happily: "Fortunately, I am a woman, so I can touch your little face."
The colleague then thought of something else. She lowered her voice and said, "Don't drink alcohol at parties. If others tease you and ask you to drink, try your best to push them away. You have to be on guard against others. Do you know understand."
"Thank you, Xiaoli."
As soon as Shu Qing said the words, the curve of his lips froze.
Xiaoli, Xiaoli.
Inevitably, she thought of her again.
"Then it's agreed that after get off work in the evening, we'll go have a barbecue!"
"Ok, no problem."
Shu Qing pinched her eyebrows and poured all her energy into her work, no longer thinking about Tangli.
However, how can the scars of injuries heal so quickly?
Time flies by, and in late autumn, the day quickly becomes dark.
Shu Qing followed Liu He and listened to the laughter of other colleagues. The working atmosphere in their department was very harmonious and warm, and the boss was a good leader, so Shu Qing liked this company very much.
She took Liu He's car and said something from time to time. The atmosphere in the car was very pleasant.
The happiness of others infected Shu Qing, causing her to temporarily put aside her sorrow and forget about that person.
Because there were many people at the party, they reserved a private room early.
A party like this naturally involves some playful games.
Some people suggested playing truth or dare, and some people jumped out to refute, saying that they were tired of playing this game.
But when it came time to play, those who disliked the game were more excited than anyone else.
Shu Qing had been distracted all the time, and suddenly, the rotating wine bottle was pointed at her.
Shu Qing: "..."
The gossip about beauties has always attracted the most attention, not to mention the gossip about Shu Qing, the cutie in the department. You must know that there are countless people who have ideas about her behind her back, but those who dare to confess are rejected by Shu Qing. This dispelled some people's thoughts.
She took a sip of the drink, and the color of the water gave her lips a charm. Shu Qing didn't want to be the one who ruined the scenery, so she said calmly: "I choose to tell the truth."
The colleagues looked at each other in tacit understanding, and someone asked: "Shu Qing, do you have someone you like?"
Her eyes moved slightly, she nodded and said, "Yes."
"Damn it!!!"
"Who is it, who is it?!"
Liu He came to Shu Qing's rescue and scolded with a smile: "You can only ask one question! The next one is the next one! Stop talking so quickly."
The wine bottle was spinning and Shu Qing watched them play round after round. When the bottle was pointed at her again, Shu Qing shook her head helplessly.
Colleagues shouted: "Truth or dare!"
Shu Qing once again chose to speak the truth.
They were not polite and asked with bright eyes: "What is the person you like, like?"
Shu Qing thought for a while and said slowly: "She is a very beautiful woman, her fingers are very soft, and the scent of perfume on her body attracts me. She will apologize to me tenderly, and she always looks at me with a smile."
She shrugged, raised her hand to turn the bottle, and said with a smile, "I've finished my answer."
"It's over, my heart is broken." The colleague covered his heart in a funny way, as if he was heartbroken.
Liu He couldn't help but laugh, and teased: "Let's see who of you still dares to take Shu Qing's idea."
"Oh, I don't know who is so lucky to make Shu Qing like her."
Shu Qing didn't want to mention her personal matters anymore, so she made an excuse and left the private room, wanting to go outside for some fresh air.
She put her hands in her pockets and buried her face in her scarf, leaving only her watery eyes exposed.
In the blink of an eye, Shu Qing saw a woman. She was smoking while leaning on the car with her back to Shu Qing. Her face could not be seen clearly, but her back looked very similar to someone.
Shu Qing felt that she was really poisoned. How could she smoke?
A gust of cold wind blew towards Shu Qing's face, causing her eyes to burst into tears.
Shu Qing wiped her tears on her scarf, trying to pretend that nothing had happened.
"This wind is really annoying."
Shu Qing complained, but her eyes were still staring at the woman, until a woman with long black hair threw herself into her arms, and the two kissed intimately.
Shu Qing couldn't bear it anymore. This picture really stimulated her heart.
She dialed Tang Xin's number, concealing her tears, and calmly asked Tang Xin for Tang Li's contact information.
Shu Qing thought she would be hesitant, but when she saw the numbers, she typed them in without hesitation.
One second.
Two seconds.
The other party answered the call, and her voice was as beautiful as Shu Qing's memory. She said, "Hey, who's there?"
After hearing Tang Li's voice, Shu Qing's anxiety and uneasiness accumulated in the past few days were instantly relieved. She said, "Miss Tang, it's me."
"Shu Qing?"
"Um."
Tangli rubbed her brows and leaned against the wall of the entrance hall. She had just returned home and was exhausted, but she still subconsciously softened her voice when facing Shu Qing.
Shu Qing said softly: "Miss Tang, I'm drunk, can you come and pick me up?"
Tangli frowned lightly, bent down and put on comfortable sneakers, "Tell me the address and I will come to pick you up now."
Shu Qing responded obediently, "Then I'll wait for you."
After hanging up the phone, Shu Qing decisively bought a few cans of beer. Even if she couldn't stand the unpleasant smell, she would drink it all.
She has never lied since she was a child, and she has never had any calculations about anyone.
Tangli was the first person hurt by her.
She will be responsible.
