She's waiting for me there.

After arriving at the office, Chen Yun talked about work with Ning Yuanbai and Gu Hongfei as usual, which lasted no more than 5 minutes.

"Okay, that's all. I'm leaving now."

Gu Hongfei was a little confused: "No, you came all the way here, and you only said a few words. Is your phone bill overdue?"

"What? You mean I have to say I've made enough before I can leave? Or how about we put on a crosstalk?"

This one sentence made Gu Hongfei feel completely exhausted.

Okay, you are the big brother, you are awesome, you have the final say.

Ning Yuanbai took out the car keys and handed them to him: "Brother-in-law, can you do me a favor? The car is out of gas. Please help me fill it up. I need to go home soon."

"Where's your assistant? Why do you two seem a little weird today?"

"No, I just haven't finished my work. I'm sorry to bother my brother-in-law."

Having said that, he pushed Gu Hongfei out of the office.

He glanced at the car keys in his hand and walked towards the underground parking lot without thinking much.

When I got to the car, I saw the person in the driver's seat was stunned.

"Ning Qinghua? Why are you here?"

"I......"

The moment I saw him, I forgot all the conversations I had prepared in advance. My mind was blank, and only his deep eyes remained.

No, you have to stay calm. This will only make things worse.

By the way, Chen Yun taught me this.

Chen's first rule: take a deep breath.

Exhale, inhale, exhale, inhale.

Gu Hongfei frowned slightly. What is this girl doing?

Why do you have to take a deep breath before speaking? Is this the new rule before having a conversation?

After a few seconds, Ning Qinghua's emotions gradually stabilized.

It seems that Chen Yun's method is still very reliable, and he has foreseen such a situation.

She raised her head slightly and said, "Let's talk in the car. This is so inconvenient."

"Ah."

After getting in the car, both of them felt an inexplicable atmosphere in the confined and narrow space.

Gu Hongfei turned and looked at her: "Are you here to pick up Xiaobai?"

"Yes, Qing Ning is going to study in Silver Pine Province. I will go with her and bring Xiao Bai home with me."

"Oh."

The two fell silent again.

Chen's second rule: Avoid embarrassment and play music.

I clicked the play button and soothing music came from the car.

If those two words didn't tremble

"I won't find myself feeling uncomfortable"

How do I say this?

"It's just a breakup."

Ning Qinghua was almost sweating. She never thought that Xiaobai would have such an old song in his car.

And I really shouldn't be listening to this tune right now.

It's very unlucky.

Gu Hongfei looked at her embarrassed look and smiled.

This girl is as cute as ever.

Of course, he knew in his heart that this cuteness was only directed at him.

For others...

Forget it, I hope those minor villains can survive and die.

At this moment, Ning Qinghua was still thinking about the third rule of the Chen family: take the initiative to bring up the topic.

She pursed her lips and asked, "Are you, are you tired recently?"

"It's okay. I handle company matters during the day and fall asleep right after returning home at night."

"Oh, did you eat on time?"

"Three meals a day."

"Oh, are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

"Oh, then you..."

"Stop!" Gu Hongfei interrupted her and said with a smile, "What exactly do you want to ask? It feels like you're checking my household registration. If this were online, you'd already been blacklisted."

Ning Qinghua turned to look at him and said forcefully, "I, I just wanted to ask if you were doing well."

Ten years ago

"You don't belong to me"

"We are still the same"

"Being with a stranger"

The music in the car was still playing.

Gu Hongfei looked into her clear and affectionate eyes and was choked for a moment.

After a long moment, he slowly said, "I'm doing fine. I eat well, sleep well, and go to and from work every day. It's very fulfilling."

"you......"

"I know what you want to ask, but I'm not ready yet."

With a single blow, Ning Qinghua's painstakingly crafted explanation vanished into thin air.

it's okay no problem.

And the fourth rule of Chen's Law: You must...

What was it? How come I forgot it? I clearly memorized it.

Oh, this is so annoying. How should I answer him?

Woo woo woo~~~I’m so stupid.

Ning Qinghua lowered her head, gripping the seat tightly with both hands.

I could see that a layer of skin had been visibly peeled off from the dermis.

"You really don't have to be like this. To be honest, Jiang Miaoke's incident was a huge blow to me. It's unrealistic for me to accept you now."

After hearing what Gu Hongfei said, she was like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

What Chen's rules, what planned dialogues, what planned plots.

Let’s all go and have some fun.

"Why? Why can't you accept me? What's wrong with me?"

"It's not your problem, it's that I'm not worthy of you."

Ning Qinghua stared, trying hard not to let her tears fall: "Then let me ask you, do you like me?"

"you......"

"Just tell the truth, even a little bit."

"I......"

Her voice got a little louder: "If there is anything you dare not say, I will ask you if you have it."

"Yes." Gu Hongfei shouted out the word in his heart.

He didn't want to lie to the girl in front of him who was so aggrieved that she bit her lips, and he didn't want to lie to himself either.

If Jiang Miaoke hadn't suddenly appeared, the relationship between the two would have been settled long ago, and they might have been preparing to get married at this point.

"You, what did you say? Say it again, I didn't hear clearly."

"I said yes."

Ning Qinghua, whose fur had flared up, felt her fur smooth out instantly and lowered her head with a smile on her face.

He said he likes me.

You must have heard it right, I asked it twice.

Otherwise, ask again?

Forget it, it’s so embarrassing.

Knowing he was going to confess his feelings, I should have recorded it in advance so I could listen to it as many times as I wanted.

Roar, happy, happy.

It turns out that Chen's rules are quite useful.

"But we won't have any results now."

"Oh, I know." Ning Qinghua returned to her delicate and gentle appearance.

"Then you still..."

Ning Qinghua smiled and said, "You just said that Sister Miaoke dealt you a huge blow, so it's normal that you can't get over it now."

"If you agree to be with me now, I might kick you out. After all, no one likes a scumbag."

"So, I will always wait for you. I have the most time."

As their eyes met, the small space fell silent again.

But this time there was no previous embarrassment.

Gu Hongfei didn't know what to say. When he saw Ning Qing's painting just now, he had already decided to explain it to her today.

He wasn't sure how long it would take him to get out, so he couldn't be too selfish and keep the girl tied up.

Their final outcome is most likely the same as what was sung in the song just now.

"If those two words didn't tremble"

A few minutes ago, "those two words" were goodbye.

He could already imagine the scene of the two of them "meeting" again on the street many years later.

Say hello to each other, then say "goodbye" and pass by.

but now......

Those two words have become - waiting for you.

Because his heart was already trembling.

Ning Qinghua
