just like it

Wu Xia looked up at Qiao Ruige, Qiao Ruige changed his words again: "No, I want you to accompany me to a place."

Wu Xia was noncommittal.

Qiao Ruige raised his eyebrows and said provocatively, "Are you afraid?"

Wu Xia put away her bowl and chopsticks and replied with one word: "Tch."

It's a pity that the plan is not as fast as the change.The landlord who had promised to take over the house tomorrow came in the afternoon. Wu Xia didn't talk too much, and packed his luggage after paying the rent. He didn't have many things, and a suitcase was enough.

So he decided to set off early the next morning, but there was a problem, Qiao Ruige's arm was not fully healed, and he still couldn't drive on the highway.

"Come and drive." Qiao Ruige still looked indifferent and lazy, "Anyway, you still have the car keys."

Wu Xia didn't dare to take it lightly: "I've never driven a highway before."

Qiao Ruige said: "It's okay, just drive slowly, I'm right next to you."

Wu Xia seemed to be hesitant, but Qiao Ruige said again, "I always have to go."

After saying this, Wu Xia's heart suddenly settled.Originally, after learning how to drive and taking the book, it will be a matter of time to get on the highway. Besides, sitting beside Qiao Ruige is better than sitting with a coach who likes to swear.

The next morning, before seven o'clock, Wu Xia drove Qiao Ruige away.

After the car got on the highway, Wu Xia found that it was actually not as difficult as imagined. The road conditions were good. They set off early and there were not many cars on the road, so the journey was smooth.

On the way, Qiao Ruige received a call from his secretary. He had a meeting today and couldn't delay any longer. The secretary almost begged him.

Qiao Ruige secretly glanced at Wu Xia while answering the phone, and Wu Xia heard the secretary's voice on the phone for seven or eight minutes. While driving seriously, he said, "I'll take you back to the company first."

The corner of Qiao Ruige's mouth curled up to laugh, but he held back and said calmly to the secretary, "Get the meeting room ready, I'll have a meeting when I get back."

When it was almost ten o'clock, Wu Xia drove the car downstairs to Qiao Ruige's company, and a secretary and others were already waiting at the door.

Qiao Ruige unbuckled his seat belt, turned to look at Wu Xia: "You wait for me, it won't be long."

Wu Xia didn't say yes or no, so Qiao Ruige got out of the car first. After a while, the passenger door opened, and a young woman sat on her seat. She smiled politely at Wu Xia and said, "Mr. Okay, I'm Mr. Qiao's secretary, you can call me Xiao Cai, Mr. Qiao told me that I must be with you."

Wu Xia was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Is it in the car?"

Secretary Cai smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, please park the car in the parking lot first, and I will accompany Mr. Wu up."

Wu Xia suddenly wanted to laugh. Qiao Ruige really has a good way of recruiting and employing people. This secretary Cai said "I will accompany you" in every sentence, but what he conveyed was Qiao Ruige's "don't go" .

After driving the car to the parking lot and going upstairs, Secretary Cai led Wu Xia directly to Qiao Ruige's office. While pushing open the door of the office, he said, "Mr. Qiao said that you must wait for him, Mr. Wu If you need anything, just say, I'm right outside. Would you like something to drink? Tea, coffee or juice?"

Wu Xia paused and said, "Boiled water, thank you."

"Okay, I'll bring it to you right away."

"Wait." Wu Xia stopped her.

"What is Mr. Wu's order?"

Wu Xia thought for a while and asked, "The former Secretary Han..."

Secretary Cai immediately said, "Oh, Secretary Han has already mentioned the vice president, does Mr. Wu want to meet her?"

"Oh, it's all right."

Qiao Ruige's office hasn't changed much. Standing in the room, Wu Xia feels a sense of familiarity as if through the fog.

He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows for a long time, looked at the bookcase in a daze for a while, and finally fell asleep on the sofa.

It was hard to wake up from this sleep.

He worked in the courier company for more than half a year, leaving early and returning late, not to mention heavy physical work, but there are almost no rest days in this job. Every day, he is like a crumbling string, and now he loosens it and settles in his body His exhaustion gradually began to counterattack.

When Wu Xia finally woke up, she opened her eyes and found that the curtains of the French windows had been lowered, and a small blanket was put on her body.

He turned over and sat up, rubbed his face, saw a few packed lunch boxes on the coffee table, presumably they were lunch prepared for him, and saw that he was in a deep sleep, so he didn't wake him up.

Wu Xia took out her phone and checked the time. It was already past three o'clock in the afternoon, and she didn't feel hungry, but felt a little uncomfortable sleeping on her body.

He got up and drank some water, walked to the French window and opened the curtain to look out, then turned and left the office.

Secretary Cai was not in his seat, so Wu Xia looked around, walked along the corridor to the elevator, and took the elevator downstairs.

After coming out of Qiao Ruige's company, Wu Xia walked around the street casually, bought a children's set meal at KFC and ate it slowly, and went shopping in the small shops on the street, and was walking back slowly. Rick's phone call came.

As soon as Wu Xia picked it up, Qiao Ruige's voice came out in a hurry: "Where are you?"

Wu Xia looked up and gave the address.

"You wait, I'll pick you up."

"Are you okay?" Wu Xia asked.

Qiao Ruiger said, "It's no problem to open the city."

Wu Xia stopped walking and found a suitable parking spot to stand on the side of the street and wait.

Not long after, Qiao Ruige came in the car. Wu Xia opened the passenger door and went up, and handed Qiao Ruige something: "I'll play with you."

Qiao Ruige took a look, it was an unknown animation doll: "What is this?"

"I don't know either, I got it from a children's set meal."

Qiao Ruige was stunned, smiled, shook the doll in his hand, and said, "Thank you. Waiting is boring. I didn't expect it to be open for so long."

Wu Xia rested her hand on the car door, supported her forehead, and said indifferently, "It's okay."

Qiao Ruige looked at him and was very happy. He received a report from Secretary Cai saying that when Wu Xia was not in the office, he panicked like a wild horse. Happy to bloom.

Wu Xia glanced at him, feeling a little silly in his expression, coughed lightly, and said, "Didn't you want me to accompany you somewhere?"

"Oh, don't worry, let's settle the place where you live today." Qiao Ruige said.

Qiao Ruige said that he wanted to find a place to live, but Wu Xia didn't have any troubles in his heart. Qiao Ruige has so many real estate properties, so he just needs to arrange one. Otherwise, it is very common to find a five-star hotel.But when the car stopped at the place, Wu Xia was a little confused.

He followed Qiao Ruige out of the car, followed him into the corridor and upstairs, feeling a little dizzy, and the world seemed unreal.

It wasn't until Qiao Ruige took the key to unlock the lock and pushed open the door that Wu Xia gradually recovered.

He looked at Qiao Ruige: "You bought it?"

Qiao Ruige also looked back calmly: "It's me."

That's right, Qiao Ruige brought Wu Xia to the same old house that he and Jiang Miao rented together.At the beginning, Qiao Ruige just played tricks to buy the house and forced Wu Xia to have no house to live in, but later he didn't regret his decision at all.

Wu Xia walked into the house slowly, and slowly looked around. The furnishings in the house had hardly changed, they were still the same old furniture, but there was a lock on the door of the room where Jiang Miao used to live.

Qiao Ruiger said as he closed the door: "I only repaired the water pipe, and nothing else has been touched."

Wu Xia nodded. He noticed that someone should have cleaned the place regularly. The windows were bright and clean, and there were traces of careful maintenance everywhere.

With a thought in his mind, he walked to the door of the room he used to live in. The inside was still the same, and even the bed was covered with sheets and quilts.

Presumably to see his doubts, Qiao Ruige's voice came from behind: "I will come to stay once in a while."

Wu Xia turned to look at him, opened her mouth, but said nothing.

Qiao Ruige said: "When I miss you so much."

Qiao Ruige spoke very easily, as if he didn't feel ashamed to speak out his secret, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a bit complacent, but his heart was beating extremely fast, and his palms were numb like an electric shock.

When I miss you so much.

Only Qiao Ruige knows the six words. There are too many sleepless nights. He came here, sat on the floor of the room where Wu Xia once lived, and kept imagining the time Wu Xia spent here, imagining He walked through the living room wearing slippers, imagining that he was wiping his wet hair with one hand and pressing the remote control of the TV with the other, imagining that he hurriedly grabbed the keys and ran out the door with his bag on his back...

Only by constantly imagining in this way can he survive the sleepless nights, and the emptiness in his heart can be lessened.

If he just needed a place to remember, the apartment where he and Wu Xia lived together for several months should have been more suitable, but as many sweet memories of them as there were, there were just as many painful and embarrassing episodes .

Qiao Ruige will never forget the last time he met Wu Xia there, the knife-like words he said, his temper, and Wu Xia saying "I really like you" sadly and desperately.

Qiao Ruige looked at Wu Xia intently. He really hoped that his eyesight could be better, and he could see some clues from Wu Xia's expression.

But Wu Xia just turned away from looking at him, and didn't say a word.

Qiao Ruige clenched his fist, then released it, and said in an exaggerated tone: "Ah, no, I forgot to buy something to eat. It seems that there are instant noodles. Wait a minute, I'll boil some water."

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and went into the kitchen. After standing for a while, he remembered to fetch water from the electric kettle. Almost fell off the weight.

"Let me do it." Wu Xia reached out from behind and took the kettle steadily.

Qiao Ruige took a step to the side, watched quietly as Wu Xia connected the water, took out the power cord and plugged it in.

He raised his hand, wanting to put it on Wu Xia's thin waist, hesitated for a while, then retracted it.

Qiao Ruige felt that he couldn't understand the current Wu Xia.He has said a lot and done a lot, and even brought Wu Xia here, as if to show him his last weakness.

But none of these seemed to be able to touch Wu Xia, just like when Wu Xia said "whatever" before, he knew that Wu Xia must be slandering secretly, his face was cold, and he didn't know how many small emotions were hidden in his heart, leaking from the corners of his brows and eyes.But now, even if Wu Xia didn't say it, what he showed was really "whatever you want".

He seemed to build a solid shield for himself, no matter how much Qiao Ruige tried, he would not waver.

Is this what it feels like to die?

Qiao Ruige clenched his fists hard, at this moment he hated his former self extremely.

"Where's the noodles?" Wu Xia's question interrupted Qiao Ruige's self-loathing, Qiao Ruige took out two bowls of instant noodles from the refrigerator, Wu Xia took them, and tore open the package.

Qiao Ruige stood with a blank face. He used to have a lot of tricks to chase people, but now his mind is blank, and he can't even think of a love sentence.

"Ah." Wu Xia whispered.

"What's the matter?" Qiao Ruige came back to his senses and asked quickly.

Wu Xia turned around, still holding a torn material bag in his hand, and a long streak of oil was hanging on the chest of the T-shirt on his body. It was obvious that he was careless when tearing the material bag, and the oil sprayed out.

Qiao Ruige took away more than half of the material bag that had been sprayed out from his hand, and said, "Go and change it, and take a shower by the way."

Wu Xia had no choice but to take a shower, but fortunately, he had luggage with him, so he didn't have to worry about changing clothes.

After washing, Wu Xia saw Qiao Ruige still standing in the kitchen, and he asked, "Is the noodle ready yet?"

Qiao Ruige turned around, frowning displeasedly: "This kettle seems to be broken, the water can't boil."

Wu Xia probed to see, and sure enough, the indicator light on the electric kettle was not on.

"Order takeaway," Wu Xia looked at Qiao Ruige, "Why don't you go take a shower, takeaway will have to wait for a while."

Qiao Ruige thought about it and nodded: "Alright."

Wu Xia didn't use his mobile phone to order food. He remembered that there used to be a restaurant outside the neighborhood that made good chicken soup wontons. He and Jiang Miao even left a phone card for delivery in the small mailbox at the door. After looking for it, it was still there. Call In the past, the boss said it would be delivered soon.

The chicken soup wontons were delivered very quickly. Wu Xia went to open the door and touched his pocket to pay, only to remember that he had changed his clothes. He turned around and saw Qiao Ruige had just washed and came out of the bathroom, so he called him: "Help me get the wallet , in that trouser pocket on the washing machine."

With an "oh", Qiao Ruige turned around and went into the bathroom.

But after waiting for a while, Qiao Ruige did not come out, so Wu Xia had no choice but to ask the boy who delivered the food to wait, and went to the bathroom to get it by himself.

After entering the bathroom, he saw Qiao Ruige holding his wallet in a daze.

"What's wrong? Give me the money." Wu Xia said.

Qiao Ruige looked up at him, pulled out a 50 note and handed it to him.

Wu Xia came out and paid the money and closed the door, suddenly realized something was wrong, he turned around hastily, Qiao Ruige had already come out of the bathroom, holding the wallet in his hand and staring at him fixedly, his eyes were like torches, his eyes seemed to be filled with extreme passion Joy, but also extreme regret, he was short of breath and couldn't tell whether it was excitement or sadness.

Wu Xia collected herself, put the bag containing chicken soup wontons on the table, and said nonchalantly, "Come and eat."

"You lied to me!" Jorig said loudly.

Wu Xia didn't look at him: "I don't understand what you're talking about."

Qiao Ruige suddenly pulled something out of his wallet and patted it on the table: "What is this?!"

Wu Xia turned her head and looked away.

He didn't need to look at it, he knew that it was a business card that Qiao Ruige customized for him. There was no company name or phone number, only a simple six-character business card.

Personal Assistant Wu Xia

Qiao Ruige's voice was trembling, full of anticipation and sorrow, he asked: "You still like me, right?"

Wu Xia said, "No, it's not..."

"Lie!" Qiao Ruige interrupted him fiercely, "Why do you keep this if you don't like it? Does it look good?!"

Wu Xia was speechless for a moment.

Qiao Ruige stared at him closely, and approached Wu Xia.

Wu Xia suddenly panicked, Qiao Ruige's eyes were too terrifying, and he felt that timid aura from him again.

He thought of their last quarrel, Joe Rieger's gnawing rage, the violence of throwing the suitcase from the 20th floor...

Thinking of myself saying "I really like you", and Qiao Ruige replied indifferently "So?"

Wu Xia was terrified.

Qiao Ruige is right, he likes Qiao Ruige, and he still likes him now, otherwise he wouldn't even keep a small business card carefully.

But the price of liking this person is too high, an injury is like peeling and cramp.He is afraid of getting hurt, afraid of repeating the same mistakes, he really can't afford to be hurt.

He hid himself very well, and he also hid those unspeakable emotions very well. Facing Qiao Ruige who appeared again and said "to be together again", he even thought, as long as he hides his sincerity and only keeps with Qiao Ruige Are lovers safe?As long as this sincerity is not discovered.

But now, his secret was ruthlessly torn apart by Qiao Ruige, he had nothing to hide, he was terribly afraid.

Qiao Ruige's eyes seemed bloodshot, he approached step by step, Wu Xia retreated step by step with a cold face.

Qiao Ruige gritted his teeth and reached out to grab Wu Xia's shoulder.

Wu Xia panicked and quickly raised her hand to block it, but Qiao Ruige took advantage of the situation and pulled her into his arms and hugged him tightly.

Wu Xia was about to struggle, Qiao Ruige lowered his head and whispered something in his ear.

"I'm sorry." George said.

Wu Xia was stunned.
