safe in distress

Work will not stop because of personal emotional entanglements.After this dinner, we all put in the endless work again.

Although Qiao An and Li Shuyang are now working in the same company, they are both busy. Even the office is just upstairs and downstairs, and they don't meet as often as imagined.

Except for work exchanges such as weekly meetings, they didn't say a single word related to personal matters, and Joan didn't even have a chance to return the set of clothes that didn't belong to him.

Sometimes Li Shuyang would forget for a short while that the person in front of him was his former bedside person, and marvel at Minister Qiao's ability to work.

Joan was not at all different from the person he was familiar with. Now he was decisive and resolute, and he was unmistakable in terms of work ability and efficiency.Before he knew it, Joan had gradually become a better person.

When Li Shuyang thought of this, he always felt strangely relieved.

Even if he clearly knows that he is already a passer-by in the other party's story.

He has long since lost the qualification to protect the little prince.

------

Qiao An is a very frugal person now, and the embarrassment of being unable to make ends meet a few years ago made him feel sorry for him. Even if he has a little more money now, he has changed his temperament of being extravagant in the past. ???

He has long stopped buying brand-name brands of the new season, and the requirement for clothes and trousers has changed from the original requirement of changing them every day to just being neat and clean.Commuting to and from get off work is by subway and bus. It is rare to take a taxi unless there are special circumstances. Even the lunch on normal weekdays is a bento made by myself.

He is used to taking part of it as a bento dish for the next day when making dinner every night, and eating it at the company as soon as it is warmed up at noon.This is much more convenient. After all, the amount of food for one person is not easy to cook. If it is too small, even the condiments don’t know how to put it.

In fact, Qiao An's cooking is no worse than that of the small restaurants outside. It's all because when he was helping the cook in the restaurant, the couple who opened the restaurant liked him very much, and let him steal a lot of teachers, so he gradually learned.

Joann prepared three vegetarian dishes today

——Green pepper and potato shreds, fish-flavored eggplant, cabbage and tofu soup.

He had just finished eating the braised pork ribs he made last weekend. Joan thought it was troublesome, so he only made vegetarian dishes, and waited until the weekend to make meat dishes.

While thinking about the dishes in the recent vegetable market, he waited for the microwave to heat up his lunch box.

The things heated in the microwave are naturally not as fresh as the ones made fresh, and the side dishes in Joan's glass lunch box are all wilted, looking dehydrated.

Qiao An concentrated on carrying the hot lunch box, completely ignoring the newcomer Li Shuyang.

In the past month, Mr. Li has visited almost all the nearby restaurants, and stayed in the canteen of his unit for two days.

I just overheard the employees talking about the director of the sales department bringing his own lunch every day during the meal.He listened to it in his heart, and finally found someone today.

Joan didn't notice him coming in, and was still concentrating on preparing dinner.

The bowl was overheated by him, and his fingertips turned red. As soon as Qiao An put the bowl next to the microwave oven, he couldn't help touching his earlobe. Li Shuyang thought he was stupid, but he was a little happy.

"I'm sorry, I'll be fine soon." Qiao An saw someone standing beside him from the corner of her eye, thought she was in the way, and hurriedly tried to find a seat with a bowl, but when she looked up, she was startled again, "Boss... general manager? "

"Yeah." Li Shuyang nodded, and watched as Qiao An hurriedly found a corner seat for himself with a bowl, and didn't even dare to look at him.

Is he a scourge or cannibal and need to hide this far?

Mr. Li was a little depressed.

------

Qiao An didn't know why Li Shuyang came to the tea room. This tea room is relatively remote, and there are not many people who come at noon on weekdays, so he found such a place to eat.

It must be a coincidence.

Joan found a seat and sat down, trying to comfort himself, he patted his chest quietly, let's eat with peace of mind.

Mr. Li's good mood disappeared. He looked at the pitiful potatoes and eggplants in Qiao An's bowl, and couldn't help but frown again.

Who made the bento for him?

It's still so vegetarian, no wonder it loses meat.

Li Shuyang remembered how picky Qiao An was when they were still together.

Qiao An has never suffered since she was a child, and the old and well-behaved Qiao's father dedicated everything to his clam pearls, so he doesn't have to suffer a little bit of grievance.

Until he was with Li Shuyang, he didn't know what garlic looked like.The mouth is terribly tricky, even if it's just that the dishes are not well-arranged, the young master may not be able to move the chopsticks.

But what is such a pampered person eating now?

The green pepper and potato shreds looked mushy after being heated in the microwave, and the potatoes were about to crumble into mashed potatoes, not to mention the green peppers, and they didn't have an emerald green color.

The fish-flavored eggplant was also overheated, so soft that it was almost impossible to tell what it was.

Only the cabbage soup was unsatisfactory, but I also know how healthy the overnight dishes can be.

------

Qiao An didn't realize that all the dishes in her bowl had been approved by Mr. Li, and she was working hard to concentrate on planing the rice.

He actually has a lot to say to Mr. Li.

He wanted to ask Mr. Li how he was doing all these years?

He also wanted to apologize to Mr. Li, for his ignorance back then, and for the many, many things he did wrong.

He also wants to know whether Mr. Li has a suitable and considerate partner now, and whether his life is very happy.

But he couldn't open his mouth, he could only forcefully stuffed a big mouthful of rice.

"Cough! Cough cough... Cough cough! Cough!" He ate too fast, and he choked when he didn't pay attention, and coughed uncontrollably.

He coughed badly, but suddenly felt a pat on the back.

Mr. Li's voice rang in his ears.

"How is it? Did you choke into the trachea?"

Joan shook his head. He just accidentally choked on the red pickled pepper in the fish-flavored eggplant. The spicy smell irritated his throat so he coughed non-stop. It wasn't serious.

He shook his head quickly, and heard Li Shuyang speak in a bad tone.

"Eat less of your mess."

"No..." Joan quietly defended with a weak voice, "It's all good."

When he was in the most difficult time, the rice tank was empty, so he had to boil the last handful of rice into the pot, and then freeze it into ice cubes to eat.

Qiao An raised his reddened eyes to see Mr. Li's serious expression, and was secretly happy. Fortunately, he just choked, and now whether it is red eyes or tears are reasonable.

"Thank you Mr. Li, I'm fine." Qiao An stood up and thanked politely, but only got a cold hum.

Qiao An watched President Li leave, and couldn't help but sigh.

Time has widened the distance between them, so far that Qiao An couldn't touch the boundary even though he tried hard.

He is not worthy, and Mr. Li will never be tempted by himself again.
