Difficult round

"The rain is really heavy. It was drizzle at the beginning. Who would have thought that it would be so heavy later, I was completely wet." Zhao Lingling complained while wiping her face with the dry towel that Shen Qi handed over.

They had originally planned to go back to City A to have dinner together, but it happened that they encountered this heavy rain and their plans fell through.

Shen Qi suggested to eat on another day, but Zhao Lingling got angry and refused to agree, she was in a stalemate at the airport for a while, then she changed her mind on her own initiative, but she had to go home with Shen Qi and asked him to cook for her.

"With this list, can we get a lot of commissions? Master Shen Qiqi, what are you going to do to reward me?"

Gossip always spreads very fast, and within a month, the whole company knew that the big boss' favorite was Shen Qi from the marketing department, and decided to ask him to be his boyfriend.

This made Shen Qi seem like a celebrity in the company, no matter whether he was known before or not, whenever he met him, he would greet him in a friendly and polite manner.

Even their stupid and fat leader changed his face and showed great hospitality to him.

The project in the neighboring city that the two of them were talking about this time was intentionally handed over to Shen Qi by the fat leader, and it was a big client that they had cooperated with for many years.

In fact, everything that needs to be discussed has already been discussed. This time in the past, it is just a formality to sign an agreement, which can be easily done by anyone.

The fat leader made it clear that he wanted to give the credit to Shen Qi and Zhao Lingling, so as to have a reason to promote Shen Qi and raise his salary.

The fat leader didn't want to flatter Zhao Lingling openly, so he wanted to save the country and promote Shen Qi to make the little princess happy.

This is not a secret, everyone in the marketing department knows it well, and Shen Xi naturally knows it too.He changed into a sweater and asked Zhao Lingling:

"What do you want to eat?"

Zhao Lingling gave up wiping her clothes, ran to Shen's living room and changed into a sweater as she talked to herself.

Shen Qi's figure is not considered tall, but Zhao Lingling's clothes still look fat.

There must be no suitable pants, so she purposely didn't wear them, ran up to Shen Qi with bare feet, tiptoed to kiss Shen Qi's face, but the latter turned his head to avoid the kiss.

Zhao Lingling was not very happy in her heart, but she didn't show it:

"The omurice and vegetable salad before were good, why don't we make that."

It was about the lunch brought by Shen Qi one day at noon, when he was about to start eating, Zhao Lingling ran over to make an appointment with him, saw his bento and wanted to eat it too, so Shen Qi shared half of it with her.

But the bento was actually prepared by Gu Yan for him.It wasn't just that one time, every time Shen Qi brought lunch to the company, Gu Yan got up early in the morning to make it for him.

It not only takes care of his taste, but also ensures balanced nutrition.Just like that, Shen Qi is often picky, complaining that some dishes won't taste good after noon.

Gu Yan often took him to the tea restaurant downstairs in the company for dinner, but Shen Qi was too awkward to be afraid that his colleagues would see him.

Gu Yan stepped out.She doesn't care at all, and she doesn't seem to understand Shen Qi's concerns:

"What are you afraid of? If you really don't want people to know, just say I'm your friend. It's not too much for friends to have a lunch together at noon, right?"

This is indeed the case, but Shen Xi has a guilty conscience and is suspicious of everything he sees, always worried that his colleagues will find out.

He made troubles like this unreasonably, but Gu Yan still insisted on him. He said that he wanted to bring a lunch box and Gu Yan would prepare it, and that he wanted to have dinner together, Gu Yan would pay for it obediently. Just acting aggrieved and acting like a baby, he just needs to coax and kiss her, and it will be fine immediately.

So much so that friends often joke that Gu Yan is Shen Qi's domestic wolf dog.

At that time, Shen Qi didn't understand, he always felt that what he had to say, Gu Yan is not a little wolf dog, he must be a little milk dog.

But now he has understood that Gu Yan is indeed a wolf, it's just that he put away all his sharp claws in the past, and surrounded him willingly like a little milk dog.

After all, Shen Qi didn't make omelet rice and vegetable salad for Zhao Lingling, he didn't want to do it, and there were not so many ingredients in the refrigerator, so he simply cooked two bowls of scallion oil noodles and added a few small green vegetables in the end.

Zhao Lingling pouted and was very disgusted: "You said you were asking me what I wanted to eat, but in the end I only cooked a bowl of noodles, not even a shred of pork, so you just use this to fool me..."

After eating, Shen Qi tidied up in the kitchen, Zhao Lingling ran over again, trying to hold his arm, Shen Qi subconsciously took two steps back, avoiding her approach again.

Being rejected several times to get close, Zhao Lingling was already very unhappy. Shen Qi refused to be her boyfriend, nor accepted her overtures. The only connivance he gave to her seemed to be that he only regarded her as a boss who could not afford to offend. daughter.

She felt that she should take a step closer: "Master Shen Qixi, should I stay tonight?"

Shen Qi glanced out of the window, the rain has gradually turned down, and it will probably stop soon.

A stray cat with nowhere to go was hiding under a car parked downstairs, and this time it was licking its wet paws.

That night when he sent the drunk Gu Yan home, he also had a secret expectation in his heart, thinking that he could stay overnight at Gu Yan's house.

But... Gu Yan pushed him out and slammed the door mercilessly.Thinking about it, he had recovered a bit of sanity when he was in the car.

That night he stood outside the closed door for a long, long time, from dusk to dawn, before he moved his two stiffened legs and left.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Lingling: "I'd better take you home."

December 12th is Shen Qi's birthday.In the past years, Gu Yan has been busy to make arrangements for him.

They don't do anything fancy, just invite a few friends to eat hot pot and barbecue, drink some wine, and then the two of them go home and have a chat. Although it is simple, it is lively and warm enough.

But this year... this year Shen Qi is not going to celebrate his birthday.He himself doesn't like to be lively, it doesn't matter if he has a birthday or not.

The person involved didn't care, but Tang Yan remembered.Shen Qi's birthday was Friday, and Tang Yan came to his door at around seven o'clock in the evening, carrying a bag of beer and lo mei.

The two were leaning against the sofa, sitting on the floor of the living room, drinking beer and gnawing on duck neck, duck claw and duck collarbone.

Tang Yan originally didn't intend to drink for Shen Qi, he prepared those beers for himself, but Shen Qi said that his birthday only happens once a year, so let him indulge.Tang Yan had no choice but to go with him.

Anyway, it's just beer, and it doesn't have much alcohol content if you're full.

Two well-known comedians on TV were chatting lively, Tang Yan drank the can of beer in his hand and asked Shen Qi:

"So what are you two doing?"

Regarding the reason for the breakup between the two, Tang Yan still hadn't given up, and couldn't find anything from Gu Yan, so he asked Shen Qi.Shen Qi has a soft temper and a good temper, but he is much easier to talk to than Gu Yan.

Shen Qi closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's my problem."

"Yeah, that's what I guess." Tang Yan leaned back, with his arms resting on the sofa, as if that was the case.

He waited for the next text.But Shen Qi turned into a gourd, and didn't say anything anymore, just drinking beer slowly.

Although it was not far from his own guess, he knew that the problem must be Shen Qi's as soon as he guessed, but he didn't have the nerve to gossip about Tang Yan, the person involved.

But the problem that both of them keep secret is definitely not as simple as Shen Qi throwing a tantrum and playing petty temper...

"Shen Qi, you don't know how to steal people, do you?!" He said he was embarrassed to ask again, but he still couldn't hold back after holding back for a long time.

Shen Qi smiled wryly: "No, don't think about it."

Just after refuting, Shen Qi's heart skipped a beat.Although the idea of ​​breaking up was not recent, the last straw that broke the camel's back was indeed Zhao Lingling's confession.

So in a way, he can be regarded as "stealing people".

The wry smile on his face also gradually faded away, Shen Qi squeezed the empty jar in his hand, opened a new can, drank most of it down.

"Cheng Chengcheng, I won't ask any more." Tang Yan snatched his can of beer, stuffed a duck paw in it, and asked tentatively, "But do you still like Gu Yan?"

Shen Qi was silent for a long time, maybe 5 minutes, or 10 minutes. It was not until Tang Yan finished eating three duck necks that he threw the duck paw back into the lunch box and stared at his oily palm. explain:

"Tang Yan, you don't understand."

Tang Yan didn't understand, and he didn't understand either: "Hey, you just bullied me for not being in a relationship, right! But anyway, you still like him, right? Why break up if you like you, isn't it enough? Are you tossing around?"

"Do you know how many people there are in the world? Do you know how difficult it is to meet someone who likes you and you also like?"

"Shen Qi, I don't know what happened to you two, but as a friend, I must remind you, don't do things that you regret."

"You remember that Tan Xiaolei, he's set on Gu Yan, and if you go on foolishly, it will be too late."

Shen Qi moved his fingers, rubbing back and forth the dark oil stain on his fingertips.No problem.

Tang Yan hated iron for being weak: "Anyway, think about it carefully, I won't say much..."
