Jiang Ran went downstairs in the afternoon.
As soon as she went down, Zhang Yihe passed by. Seeing that Jiang Ran was not there, he asked Qiu Mingyue, "Where is she?"
Qiu Mingyue said: "I don't know, maybe I went to the bathroom."
"...Have you told her?"
"Um."
Zhang Yihe's expression darkened obviously, and Qiu Mingyue called out to him again: "I only told Jiang Ran that Jiang Zishi is downstairs, and you..., I won't talk about it."
Zhang Yihe lowered his head and said, "Okay."
Jiang Ran came back much faster than Qiu Mingyue thought. It seemed that she really just went to the bathroom. When she came back, her face remained unchanged and her lip line was still straight. They definitely didn't make up, but they definitely didn't break up.
Falling in love is really difficult, Qiu Mingyue thought as her eyes followed Zhou Su who came out of the private office, and falling in love is also difficult.
Until the second before Zhou Weuruo noticed and looked over, Qiu Mingyue lowered her eyes in time and tapped her fingers on the keyboard.
When it was time to get off work, Jiang Ran was about to leave. I wonder if Jiang Zizhen had really waited for three or four hours. Before leaving, Jiang Ran was concerned about Qiu Mingyue's progress: "Is it done yet?"
Qiu Mingyue: "Right away."
She checked the document from beginning to end twice. In fact, she could have sent it to Zhou Su next week. She was off work now and would not be able to continue the work tomorrow weekend, but Qiu Mingyue sent it anyway.
The message showed that it had been read. At the same time, she saw the lights in Zhou Su's office go out, the door was pushed open, and Mao Linlin and him came out. Seeing Qiu Mingyue, Mao Linlin was surprised and said, "Why haven't you gotten off work yet?"
Qiu Mingyue stood up and packed her things: "I'm about to leave."
"No date?"
"Ah?" Qiu Mingyue was slightly startled, and quickly glanced at Zhou Su with a guilty conscience, "No."
Mao Linlin saw her discomfort, but she just thought it was a shy older girl: "Oh, that was my misunderstanding. Jiang Ran mentioned it to me last week and said that she introduced you to a teacher from X University."
Qiu Mingyue licked her lips awkwardly, "Just...getting to know each other."
She and Zhang Shaoming expressed their feelings to each other after dinner last Friday. Because of each other's sincerity and frankness, and because Jiang Ran helped pull the strings, Qiu Mingyue was somewhat embarrassed. This week, the epiphyllum raised by her parents bloomed, and Qiu Mingyue also posted a note on Moments. Zhang Shaoming liked it and then came to her. The two chatted for a while about growing flowers, and ended with kind words again.
"I understand." Mao Linlin revealed the matter with a smile. She also packed her things, "Let's go then?"
Zhou Su said to Qiu Mingyue: "Let's plan the case next week."
"Okay." Qiu Mingyue responded.
"I know you are responsible for your work, but there is enough time for this project. Don't worry. You will work overtime this week, right?" Mao Linlin said, "Have you had dinner?"
Qiu Mingyue smiled: "No."
The three people walked into the elevator and joked to Zhou Su on the side: "Director, look at how hard our Comrade Xiao Qiu works."
Zhou Su's eyes followed these words and landed on Qiu Mingyue, past Mao Linlin. Qiu Mingyue felt embarrassed and embarrassed. Due to the occasion, she had to say something special: "It's my first time to participate in offline planning. I want to do my best."
Mao Linlin said: "You have done a good job, don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Responsible and reliable, obedient to arrangements, humble and polite, these are the characteristics of Qiu Mingyue as a good employee. Her long black soft hair is tucked behind her ears. When she smiles, there is a glimmer in her eyes, and she looks very sincere.
When the elevator arrived, Zhou Su looked away and said, "Shall I treat you to a meal?"
Qiu Mingyue looked at him with wide eyes.
"Oh," Mao Linlin was also surprised, "Okay, it cost Director Zhou a lot of money."
Eh?
"What do you want to eat?" Zhou Su asked.
"Find one nearby," Mao Linlin said, "Mingyue, was the restaurant you went to last week delicious?"
Qiu Mingyue walked beside Mao Linlin. She was not ready for this unexpected meal. She said "Ah" and asked sheepishly: "...which one?"
"The one on Jiangtan, the one you had an appointment with last Friday. Jiang Ran told me the name and I forgot it."
"Oh, nedo, it's delicious."
"Originally, I told my husband that he would take me there today, but he just told me that he would have to work overtime. It's rare that I want to make a date. I will work overtime on Friday. It's really..."
Zhou Su had completely understood Mao Linlin's hint: "Let's go, nedo."
After succeeding, Sister Lin winked slyly at Qiu Mingyue, who could only smile bitterly.
On the way to the garage, he passed by the convenience store downstairs. Thinking of himself who just waited and bought an ice cream last night, Qiu Mingyue felt that she was so stupid and pitiful.
This can be considered... to have food to eat with Sister Lin?
The sunshine is long in summer, and it is not completely dark until after six o'clock. The twilight is closing, and the blue-purple sky is filled with clouds like cotton candy silk. The leaves on the branches leave black footprints.
Qiu Mingyue and Mao Linlin were sitting in the back seat. When they opened the rear door, they accidentally met Zhou Su's eyes for a moment, and saw the shadows of trees dancing in their peripheral vision. Qiu Mingyue was in a daze for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he had already closed the driver's side door.
The air is humid and hot, and sparrows are flapping their wings on the branches.
After sitting in Zhou Su's car for the third time, Qiu Mingyue was still not adapting well. She clasped her hands on her thighs and looked at the front of the car like Zhou Su.
There was a slight traffic jam on Friday night, and traffic radio programs broadcast traffic conditions in various places. When the car lights and street lights intertwined with each other, the last glow of the distant sky quietly extinguished, and a piece of heaven and earth quietly gave way to each other.
The air-conditioning in the car was just right, but Qiu Mingyue was restless, and her body was getting hot too. She was restless, but she didn't dare to move too much.
Within sight was the right hand holding the steering wheel, with white skin and red knuckles. The bulging veins on the back of the hand made Qiu Mingyue easily think of other equally sexy parts of his body, such as his neck, ankles, and more. many.
When he was driving, his back was straight, his shoulders were broad, the folds of his shirt seemed extremely tight, his long legs were bent, and the lines of his trousers vaguely outlined the muscles of his thighs.
After staring for a long time, Qiu Mingyue miraculously calmed down slowly. Probably the word "sex" was a knife in the head. Desire came up, and his courage suddenly became bigger. He was not brave enough to dare to take the initiative to flirt, but he went through everything in his mind. Zhou Su's car was a SUV, the interior space is very large.
She had long fantasized about having sex with Zhou Xing in his car, and she even wrote a script and sent it to Teacher E. That was the private message that never got a reply.
——Have a meal, just have a meal.
Sister Lin is still there.
Form is emptiness, form is emptiness. Qiu Mingyue knocked on the wooden fish.
Mao Linlin browsed the online reviews and asked Qiu Mingyue what she would eat during the meeting.
Zhou Su also asked: "What did you order last time?"
It took several seconds for Qiu Mingyue to realize that Zhou Su was talking to her, and she hurriedly replied: "I ordered a few signature dishes, beef ribs, foie gras, shrimp with oil and garlic, and paella."
Mao Linlin listened with great interest.
After turning around the intersection, the lane became much faster and they entered the tunnel. The high-pressure sodium lamp dyed the two of them orange, as if the last ray of sunlight had briefly returned.
Amidst the roar of the wind, Qiu Mingyue heard him say: "Didn't you go upstairs for a drink?"
Qiu Mingyue didn't listen carefully because of the noise that was crowding her ears. The car drove out of the tunnel, and the air no longer made a popping sound due to being squeezed. His words sounded like an echo again, clearly and clearly in his mind.
Qiu Mingyue didn't quite understand, and her heart beat twice because of her confusion.
What he said was perfect, and he pointed out in front of outsiders that he also saw her that night.
Qiu Mingyue thought that perhaps knowledgeable people could weave ambiguity through loopholes in their words. Whether the loopholes were intentional or unintentional, they could show surprise and confusion and ask questions like "how do you know?" Often it is the temptation of men and women.
Somehow, he thought of Meng Yunzhi. Zhou Xing and her must have had dinner in private. I don't know what they talked about.
But Qiu Mingyue didn't know how to do it, and she wasn't good at teasing the clouds. She said bluntly: "At that time, I was just having a meal with friends."
"What's wrong?" Mao Linlin interrupted the topic.
Qiu Mingyue: "...It's nothing. The director and I actually met in that store last Friday."
"What a coincidence?"
"A friend's shop." Zhou Su explained.
"You didn't disturb anyone, did you?"
At a red light, Zhou Su stopped the car and chuckled: "Of course not."
His eyes briefly met Qiu Mingyue's in the rearview mirror.
Qiu Mingyue looked at the three-dimensional shape from his brow bone to the bridge of his nose. His pupils were like black curtains changing light and shadow, like a lake at night. His eyelashes were like willow branches, bright and dark, like scenes from a literary movie.
She wanted to ask Zhou Su, if there was no one next to her and she was alone, would he come to "disturb" her?
Unspoken questions and unanswered answers.
Being mentioned again, Mao Linlin couldn't escape Mao Linlin's rhetorical question: "Don't you plan to continue?"
Qiu Mingyue was so embarrassed that she said calmly: "Yeah."
"How was the chat?"
"Well enough."
There was silence in the car, and Zhou Su didn't know when he had turned off the radio. Obviously her answer was too short, Qiu Mingyue added: "But maybe it's more suitable for us to be friends."
Zhou Xing asked: "What's inappropriate?"
He said this like a teacher asking a student what he didn't understand, ready to help answer questions. Qiu Mingyue made a clear distinction between herself and Zhou Xing. Most of the time it wasn't how calm and rational she was, but Zhou Xing's always clear and upright attitude.
"I don't feel anything." Qiu Mingyue said vaguely. Knowing that Zhou Xing wouldn't ask any more questions, she peeled off a corner of her protective film and said, "I prefer mature ones."
Mensao and abstinence are both forbidden words.
Zhou Su chuckled again when he heard this, and asked casually: "Isn't the university teacher mature enough?"
Qiu Mingyue smiled and said nothing. They have arrived at the river beach. The lights on both sides of the river are bright and fall into the river, rippling silently. You can feel the temperature of the river wind just looking at it. It is just as lively on different nights.
Mao Linlin said: "It's okay. There is no grass anywhere in the world. Sister Lin will introduce you to better ones next time." Then she asked Zhou Xing, "Director, since you are a friend of the boss, can you get a discount later?"
"able."
"Wow nice."
"Next time you go to eat, I can get a discount by naming my name."
"Really?" Qiu Mingyue couldn't help but ask.
"Fake." He made a joke, "My name is useless. Give me the boss's name, Ye Songyuan."
"You should ask the boss to add your name." Qiu Mingyue said in a serious tone.
Zhou Su parked the car. He unbuckled his seat belt and looked at Qiu Mingyue with a smile in his eyes: "I'll try my best to apply."
