so far speechless

Lin Jiuyan seemed to have followed him all the way for a long time, Cheng Ze was hugged in his arms like this, and the footsteps behind him also disappeared.

"It's still the same, I almost fell." Lin Jiuyan's voice came from above his head, gentle and magnetic, as if the former senior Lin had returned to Cheng Ze's side. "You have injured your leg and hand now, and then..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Ze had already left his embrace.

"Thank you." Cheng Ze walked away from Lin Jiuyan without much effort.

Why recently, I feel like I can see him anywhere in M ​​City?

"Don't take such a dark road in the future," Lin Jiuyan followed as expected, Cheng Ze pretended not to hear and didn't know this person.

When he finally reached the gate of the community where Cheng Ze lived, he paused for fear that Lin Jiuyan would find out where he lived.

"If I want to know, there's no need to follow you." Lin Jiuyan pushed him behind him, "Let's go, don't catch a cold."

Looking at this, Cheng Ze thought, he might not be able to get rid of him.

He didn't react at all, just like he usually did when he came home from get off work alone, he went upstairs slowly, then took out the key and opened the door.

When he turned around and was about to close the door, Cheng Ze saw Lin Jiuyan standing outside the door, who seemed to have no intention of entering the house.

"Just send you home safely," Lin Jiuyan smiled familiarly at Cheng Ze, "Don't forget the medicine."

Cheng Ze nodded and said nothing.Just as he was about to close the door, Lin Jiuyan suddenly stood outside the door and called his name.

He shook the hand holding the doorknob, neither closing it completely nor pushing it open.Cheng Ze left that gap, he couldn't see Lin Jiuyan, but Lin Jiuyan's voice could reach his ears.

"Try to forgive me, I won't hurt you again."

Time seemed to stand still, and no one knew how long it had passed.Then, the door "clicked" and closed.

Cheng Ze and Lin Jiuyan were separated again.

Covering the position of the heart with his hand, Cheng Ze could feel that it was so painful that he couldn't feel it.

You know what it feels like to be suddenly surrounded by love?You know what it feels like to be suddenly woken up by a bucket of cold water?

Lin Jiuyan, you bring me these two different feelings, how can you make me have the courage to trust you again?

When he got off work on Friday, Cheng Ze asked Duan Chengyong and his wife Wei Ailin to find a small restaurant for dinner.Originally, he wanted to invite him to the M City Hotel, but Duan Chengyong is his benefactor here after all.Helplessly, the old man didn't pursue high-end at all, so he dragged Cheng Ze to a small restaurant near his neighborhood, saying that the stir-fried dishes here were good.

Halfway through the meal, a phone call came from Wei Ailin's clothing store. She greeted her and ran outside the box to deal with it.Duan Chengyong suddenly lowered his voice and looked at Cheng Ze.

"Xiao Cheng, Brother Duan would like to ask you for a favor..."

As soon as Cheng Ze heard this, he immediately put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth, "Brother Duan, just say it."

Duan Chengyong seemed to have something on his mind, his complexion was not good, and the eyes he looked at Cheng Ze were also erratic.

"Xiao Cheng...can you borrow 10 yuan from Brother Duan...Brother Duan plans to buy a house, but there are still shortcomings..."

Cheng Ze didn't hear clearly, "What? Brother Duan, say it again, I didn't catch the food just now."

"Can you lend me one hundred thousand..."

Now Cheng Ze understood clearly, one hundred thousand?Considering his salary increase after promotion, he will not be able to afford such a sum of money at once.After all, he just graduated in June this year.

Oh my God, he's only been out of school for half a year, and he's experienced things that other people wouldn't have encountered in a year or two.

"Brother Duan, you also know me, I don't have that much money..."

"Brother Duan knows, it's not easy to know you... But Brother Duan really needs this money urgently..." Duan Chengyong suddenly changed himself, grabbing Cheng Ze's arm like grabbing a life-saving straw , "It's really not possible... Is [-] yuan okay? Brother Duan promised your sister Wei's parents that he would definitely buy that house. It is really urgent..."

"Brother Duan, it's not that I won't help you. I really don't have that much money... When I came to M City, I didn't bring much money with me... Now all I have on hand are the wages I accumulated in the past six months..."

"Xiao Cheng, can you give Brother Duan 2 yuan first, Brother Duan will give it to you next week in case of emergency."

Duan Chengyong's eyes were red and bloodshot, and Cheng Ze looked at him as if he was in a hurry.His shortcoming is probably that he is too kind-hearted, just like what Lin Jiuyan once said about him, Cheng Ze would not reject others.It's not because he can't, but because Cheng Ze can't bear it.

"If I lend you [-] yuan, brother Duan, I only have less than [-] yuan left, and you will give it to me next week no matter what you say..." Cheng Ze roughly calculated the money in his pocket , and praying that the salary will be paid at the end of the month.

"Okay, okay, brother Duan!" Duan Chengyong seemed to see a savior.

When Wei Ailin came back, Duan Chengyong changed his desperate look and greeted the two of them to eat.

Cheng Ze is not a person who likes to spend money. He calculated that there is still some time before the salary is paid, but the money in hand is enough to survive this period of time.

When Cheng Ze arrived at the company the next day, he was notified of the project meeting in the afternoon.All the responsible personnel from the three parties attended. Cheng Ze, as the project leader, had to make a summary on the topographical survey and personnel arrangement forecast.

Seeing Lin Jiuyan in the conference room was what Cheng Ze expected. He turned his eyes away, ignored Lin Jiuyan's gaze cast on him, walked to Duan Chengyong and sat down.During the meeting, Cheng Ze wrote down the things that were useful to him word by word.Su Lu was also there. She had been observing Cheng Ze, and she had noticed Cheng Ze's every move.

When it was his turn to come to the stage to summarize, Cheng Ze swallowed, and walked to the computer with the materials.

This is not the first time he has spoken in front of so many people. Cheng Ze was never so nervous when Lin Jiuyan led him in City R.

Probably because this is the first project he is responsible for.

Cheng Ze elaborated on the predictions of the relevant projects one by one, and expressed his own views on personnel work arrangements.

"If Hengjie is responsible for most of the labor force, will the other two parties assist when necessary after the project starts?"

This Cheng Ze couldn't answer. He was not the boss, so he couldn't answer the questions about the company's decision.

"When we first cooperated, we made it very clear that Haili was in charge of the main negotiation and bid opening of the project, Ruichen was in charge of architectural design, and Hengjie was in charge of providing labor," Lin Jiuyan tapped his fingers on the table lightly, and the thin-rimmed glasses reflected His gaze made it look gloomy and deep, "We will indeed provide help when necessary, but wouldn't it be good to mention this from the beginning?"

"What Mr. Lin said is true." Seeing that Lin Jiuyan had spoken, Hengjie's representative stopped talking.

Cheng Ze breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know why Heng Jie asked him this question, but fortunately, Lin Jiuyan helped him out, and he sneaked a glance at Lin Jiuyan, just in time to meet the latter's gaze.Cheng Ze hurriedly looked at each other casually, and then looked away.

After the meeting, Duan Chengyong praised him in a low voice.Ever since Cheng Ze lent him money, he always felt that the relationship between the two had become very delicate. Duan Cheng never spoke to Cheng Ze in the same tone as before, instead he became more flattering.

Seeing that there were too many people at the elevator entrance, Cheng Ze thought that the floor was not high, so he walked towards the stairs instead.

Before he got there, his hand was grasped.Lin Jiuyan walked up to Cheng Ze and pulled him in another direction.

"What are you doing?!" Cheng Ze was startled, Lin Jiuyan was too strong and he couldn't shake it off.

"Xin Ran needs you." Lin Jiuyan dragged him to the special elevator for Su Lu, and pressed the up button.He looked back at Cheng Ze with a smile in his eyes, as if he was not the same person as the man standing at the door of Cheng Ze's house.

Hearing Shen Xinran's name, Cheng Ze didn't refuse.

But in the elevator, Lin Jiuyan still didn't let go of Cheng Ze's hand, no matter how Cheng Ze responded, he held it tightly.

A second before arriving at Su Lu's office, Cheng Ze shook off Lin Jiuyan's hand vigorously.

Lin Jiuyan couldn't help being a little funny seeing him stepping aside with his hands covered, "I won't eat you again, what are you afraid of?"

This sentence is a bit ambiguous, and it is easy to make people think wrong.As soon as the words came out of their mouths, both of them thought of a certain shared memory, and Cheng Ze coughed lightly.

"Then open the door quickly, isn't Xinran waiting for me?"

Hearing Lin Jiuyan's laughter, Cheng Ze told himself not to look at him, and then the door of the office was opened.Su Lu was playing with toys inside with Shen Xinran, when Shen Xinran saw Cheng Ze, she dropped the things in her hand and ran towards him.

"elder brother!"

Cheng Ze squatted down and caught Shen Xinran.

"Have you ever thought about my brother?"

"Yes! Brother, I want to invite you to my Christmas party!"

"What?" Cheng Ze didn't hear clearly, so he asked again.

"Christmas! Christmas! Pie! Yes!" Shen Xinran leaned into his ear and repeated the four words, "Go, go, uncle will come too!"

If he didn't say the latter sentence, Cheng Ze would have agreed immediately, but...

Cheng Ze looked at Shen Xinran's expectant eyes, and couldn't bear to reject him no matter what...

He nodded.

"It's great!!" Shen Xinran frantically ran around Su Lu's office as if he had gotten candy, and Su Lu had to shout at his voice to tell him to run slowly.

When Cheng Ze stood up, he heard what Lin Jiuyan said in his ear.

"I know, you won't refuse others."
