desire to be loved

Half a month later

"What's the matter, Zhenxi? See, you haven't been able to get up all day today." Luo Jie knocked on the wooden door twice, to see if he could bring back the person who was staring at the computer in a daze with his hands on his cheeks.

At present, the case at hand has reached a certain stage, and the person who should not be left to work overtime is still staying in the seat. As her work partner and friend, he should be concerned.

"Could it be that I have nothing to do with gentleness?" Jane Xi sighed as her eyes were still staring at the computer screen.

"What are you talking about?" Luo Jie walked into the office with a smile on his face, and Luo Jie leaned on her work table, looking at her playfully.

Zhen Xi glanced at him expressionlessly, and said flatly, "I broke up with him."

"He? The builder?" Luo Jie was not surprised by the news of her breakup. From several conversations, he somewhat knew Zhenxi's boyfriend.

Li Shangcheng, the rich second generation of a well-known domestic construction company, took the position of general manager at only 36 years old. The two of them met in the luxury house construction project last year.

Li Shangcheng, who has a rich family background, never lacks female companions, celebrities and models who follow him are swarming, and lace reports are one after another.

He thought that he would fall in love with Zhenxi at the beginning, but he was only interested in her strong character, and wanted to prove his ability and satisfy those distorted values ​​by conquering her.

"He said that what he needs is a gentle and graceful woman who can accompany him quietly. I am too strong and put a lot of pressure on him. He needs breathing room." Jinxi pretended to be strong and pulled out a smile, The eyes that usually exude confidence and wisdom are gloomy at this moment.

Born in a single-parent family, she was forced to learn to be independent since she was a child. When she was less than 15 years old, she began to work outside to help her mother supplement the family income. In her eyes, her mother was a gentle and traditional woman who accepted her fate, but such a good woman was still rejected by her father. betray.

The divorce of her parents cast a shadow in her heart. She always believed that happiness was not easy to come by. Maybe it was because she was afraid of losing that she wanted to hold on tightly, but she didn't expect it to be messed up.

After working together for more than two years, Luo Jie saw her showing a vulnerable side for the first time. It seemed that she had a deep affection for that man, and the breakup dealt a great blow to her.

"In the workplace, you are strong, straightforward, and decisive. These are your strengths, but emotionally, this is a fatal injury."

His sharp criticism made Zhenxi feel even more depressed.

"Do all of you men like that kind of woman? A delicate woman who obeys men and speaks softly." She twisted her willow eyebrows, and her voice was a little dark.

The first thing that came to Luo Jie's mind was the face of his mother. In his memory, his mother was a good mother and wife that everyone admired, but as the three siblings grew up, her original gentle personality disappeared. He shouted and commanded them with the majesty of a mother.

"No, I admire women like you more." He looked at her with piercing eyes, and said with pursed lips.

Knowing that he was just comforting herself, Zhenxi was still moved by this, and the grief in her chest eased temporarily.

"Don't be so nice to me, I will fall in love with you." She half-jokingly said.

"This is not possible, I have someone staying here." Luo Jie declared, pointing to his heart.Roy's face appeared in his mind, and a gentle smile appeared on that resolute and handsome face unconsciously.

Jane Xi was attracted by his pair of tender black eyes, "The person you fall in love with must be very special, that person is so lucky." She said in an envious tone.

"Don't envy others, happiness is something you have to fight for yourself, go! Would you like to have a drink?" Luo Jie patted her on the shoulder to cheer her up.

"Are you treating me?" Jane Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Of course! No man will let a woman buy a drink, unless it is Niu~Lang." Luo Jie cracked his lips and smiled, "Do you think I look like me?"

Zhenxi smiled, quickly archived the elevation in the computer, and then pressed the shutdown button.

"Let's go." She picked up her briefcase, stretched out her hand to grab Luo Jie's arm, and led him away from the office.

Then the two came to the elevator side by side. After entering the elevator, Jinxi nudged him lightly with her elbow, continuing the conversation just now.

"I think you are quite good at coaxing women. If you change careers to become a cowherd, your performance will definitely be shocking." She resumed her usual cheerful appearance and joked with him.

Luo Jie smiled disapprovingly and said: "No, that's your illusion. I was just afraid of seeing you cry, so I tried my best to comfort you. In fact, I was really afraid that you would talk about snot and tears just now. .”

Don't look at him as if he is not afraid of anything. In fact, he is very afraid of seeing people cry. When he sees tears, he has nothing to do but raise the white flag to surrender.

The corners of Jane Hee's mouth curled up beautifully, "I'm really sorry for disappointing you, making me cry..."

"What's wrong? Talk halfway." Seeing her stop, Luo Jie followed her line of sight, and a man and a woman happened to be driving away from the front.

Taking a closer look, that man seems to be Li Shangcheng.

Unexpectedly, he found a new partner so quickly, and the other party turned out to be another female designer in their office, and he didn't care about Zhenxi's mood at all.

"What a piece of rubbish!"

Seeing Zhenxi bowed her head and remained silent, Luo Jie immediately leaned her on his shoulder, "Cry if you want to cry."

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Although it was not Roy's original arrangement to stay in Taiwan, and he also knew that the road ahead would be tortuous and difficult, but he already had a plan in mind, and now he just had to find a time to talk to Luo Jie.

Looking at the lonely house, he never knew that love would make people not like himself. Once he felt the warmth of that chest, he couldn't stand being alone.

After looking at the clock on the wall, he thought about it, went back to his room, changed a set of clothes, and then went out.

He came to Yaoyu on a whim, he wanted to give Luo Jie a surprise, he glanced at his watch, he hoped that they would not miss each other.

"Excuse me, is Luo Jie off work?" He asked the counter lady politely with his eyes shining like stars.

"Mr. Luo is off work. He just left with his female colleagues. Would you like to go to the parking lot?" The counter lady gave him an apologetic look.

"That's it...thank you." Roy withdrew his smile, with a lonely tone.

Luo Jie's departure turned his joy into depression, but he still came to the parking lot with a glimmer of hope.

Looking at the familiar back in the distance, Roy walked forward happily, "Jie..." Seeing Luo Jie and Zhenxi embracing each other, he suddenly fell silent.

The whole person stood frozen not far away, he caught this scene before his eyes, saw Luo Jie hugging her in his arms, leaning against her ear and whispering, his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Unconsciously, he leaned close to the pillar beside him, leaned against the corner and watched their every move silently. He didn't leave the company with heavy steps until Luo Jie's car left the parking lot.

Staring at the remaining sunset glow in the sky, his eyes were deep and far away, his feet were walking aimlessly on the street, and a feeling of uneasiness was fermenting in his chest.

The phone in his pocket suddenly rang, he took it out to check, it was Luo Jie who sent a text message.

[Xiao Yi, I will be home late today, you remember to eat dinner obediently. ]

Staring blankly at this message, he suddenly bumped into an oncoming passerby without paying attention.

"Walking without looking at the road, you are looking for death." A young man in a vulgar floral shirt and suit pants spoke Taiwanese and stared at him with a ferocious face.

"I'm sorry." Roy turned his eyes slightly to look at the other party, and apologized absently.He squatted down and picked up the phone that had fallen on the ground and put it in his pocket.

As if seeing an angel descending from the earth, the Taike youth stared at him intently, and stammered in response: "It's okay...it doesn't matter, walk carefully."

Nodding to the other party, Roy continued to walk forward.

Afterwards, he inexplicably came to a crowded shopping street. The passers-by were almost couples or couples. Looking at the lonely self in the store window, a negative thought suddenly arose in his heart: to be with you in Luoyang. The person around Jie should be a mature woman, not him.

A picture of him standing with Zhenxi appeared in his mind.Right!How well matched they look.

The sudden sound of a horn shattered all his thoughts.Turning around, he looked at the SUV temporarily parked by the roadside with lingering fear.

I saw the red SUV slowly lower the window of the passenger seat, and a suave face appeared from the window, saying hello to him: "Roy!"

"You are..." Frowning and staring at the man in the car, Roy hesitated to speak.

"I'm so sad, you forgot me so quickly, it's so heartless." Du Chen complained with a bitter face.

"I haven't forgotten you, Du Chen." Roy retorted with a slight smile.He didn't forget Du Chen, but he was a little surprised to see Du Chen cut his long hair short.

Hearing Roy call out his name, Du Chen immediately smiled.

"I saw you dazed by the side of the road from a long way away. What are you thinking? You are so absorbed in your thoughts." While waiting for the traffic lights at the intersection, he recognized the man standing in front of the window as Roy, with perfect body proportions and drainage The trendy Korean style dress and the slightly sad 45-degree side face immediately attracted his attention.

"In a daze? I think you must have read it wrong." Roy smiled.He was not in a daze, but in deep thought.

That smile set off a wave in Du Chen's chest.He regretted not having a camera by his side, if only he could take a picture of this scene.

"By the way, what are you doing now?" He observed Roy for a while, knowing that Roy was just wandering, but he still asked politely.

"I'm going to dinner." Glancing at his watch, Roy realized that he had been wandering the streets for an hour, no wonder his stomach kept protesting.

"It's just right, I haven't had dinner yet, do you want to eat together?" Du Chen grandly invited him.

"Okay." Roy promised very simply, but he immediately proposed: "But let me treat you this time! Last time I let you treat me and accepted your gift, and I didn't thank you properly." It happened that he There are also some questions I want to ask Du Chen.

"Ok." Du Chen threw a charming smile at him, "Get in the car!"
