Part39
He straightened his clothes and went out.
The door closed, and she didn't even have the strength to walk over to the sofa to sit down. She slid down along the door panel and sat on the floor, hugging her knees. Her face was flushed one moment, and then she felt absent-minded the next. Then again, she felt regretful and tangled up...
It was like this for a while and that for a while, until finally, after being in a state of weakness and lack of oxygen in the limbs and brain for a long time, a lot of time had passed.
She struggled to get up. How could she really squat here and wait for him, that would be too obedient! No way! She'd better run away quickly instead.
But when she really walked to the company entrance, she stopped again.
What's the big deal about running away like this? This kind of thing, it's actually quite normal, right? She had secretly thought about it before... It's just that it happened too suddenly and she wasn't prepared at all, reacting like a fool.
If I run away like this, won't it seem too much like making a big deal out of nothing and being foolish...
Weiwei stood at the company's entrance, hesitating and worrying, unable to decide whether to go in or turn back, feeling utterly frustrated.
Between a rock and a hard place, a bowl of beef fried rice saved her.
The elevator door opened with a "ding", and a young man wearing a duck-tongued hat walked out, carrying a plastic bag. He looked around and finally stopped in front of Weiwei.
"Are you Miss Bei?"
She slightly hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Hey, this is the beef rice you ordered, I've brought it to you. Thank you for your patronage, that'll be 15 yuan exactly." The duck tongue hat handed her a plastic bag.
Beef fried rice
It's obvious who ordered it, and it turns out he heard everything. Weiwei took the bag, her face flushing with heat as she felt weak all over again.
The young man in a duck tongue cap waited for her to pay, slightly touched his pocket and handed him a one hundred yuan note.
The duck tongue cap didn't take it and said with difficulty: "You don't have any change?"
Shaking head slightly, the small change was just enough for the bus fare before.
"This, can you borrow from someone else? I also can't find it."
Borrow from others... Is it okay to borrow from a great god? As soon as this thought emerged, Weiwei was immediately destroyed. However, suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck, and Weiwei's eyes lit up, looking at the duck-tongued hat with enthusiasm: "How about this, I'll go with you to the store to pay."
"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for you?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
She muttered to herself, and the more she thought about it, the better the idea seemed. She dragged her luggage towards the elevator, walked a few steps, then turned back.
"Wait a minute, I'll leave a message."
He dragged his luggage and ran back into the company.
The duck-tongue hat looked at her back, opened his mouth, and swallowed the sentence "Actually, IOU is also okay" that had reached his lips.
Xiao Nai returned to the office, but there was no one inside. However, on the computer screen, a note had appeared.
Xiao Nai picked it off.
Thank you for treating me to beef noodle, but I didn't have any change and the vendor wouldn't let us pay on credit, so I went with them to the store to pay.
A big smiley face was drawn at the bottom of the signature.
Xiao Nai's mouth corners slightly rose.
He's gone, and he still can't come up with a decent excuse. He tucked the note into his file folder, picked up the phone on his desk, and dialed a number he had only recently become familiar with. As soon as it was answered, Xiao Nai asked directly: "Where are you?"
Weiwei is sweeping the floor.
Weiwei's style, of course, would not fight unprepared. Before coming, everything was considered. First and foremost, accommodation had to be settled. Weiwei did not apply for a stay before the holiday, and the school could not accommodate her. Fortunately, Xiaoling, a small rich woman near the school, had a house that she could borrow to live in, and the key had been couriered to her a few days ago.
Xiaoling's house was a reward from her parents when she was admitted to A University, Xiaoling thought it was too boring to live alone, so she rarely went there to live, so the house was full of dust everywhere, and cleaning up was really overwhelming.
When Xiao Nai called, Weiwei was covered in dust and dirt from sweeping.
The cell phone sang the national anthem happily.
She glanced at it for a few seconds before answering, her heart racing, but speaking in a very normal tone: "I'm cleaning up at Xiaoling's house, I couldn't stay at school, so I borrowed her empty room to live for a while."
"Address."
"Uh, you come over later, I'm sweeping now, it's very dirty."
"I'm going to help."
"Uh, never mind, you're too big a shot, I couldn't afford to invite you anyway..." She slightly pushed him away, not wanting him to come over now.
Xiao Nai fell silent for a moment, leaning against the office desk with his long legs stretched out, and said in a casual tone: "Wei Wei, are you shy?"
"......"
"Baogui Garden Building 17 A1601, can you help me buy a bottle of dish soap when you come over?"
She finished speaking in one breath and quickly hung up the phone.
More than half an hour later, the doorbell rang. Weiwei rushed to open the door, not giving the visitor any time to speak. Weiwei quickly tiptoed and put a newly made paper hat on his head, then pushed him into the kitchen and handed him a dishcloth.
"Sweep the kitchen, don't come out until it's done."
Then ran back to the bedroom to wipe the glass.
Xiao Nai wiped her hands on a towel and looked around the kitchen, shaking her head with a smile as she began to clean up the mess.
Seems like I stepped on her tail, should I coax or not, or step on it a bit more? Her angry and irritated expression is really amusing.
A brain worth a thousand gold coins started to work seriously on this boring question from the beginning.
It wasn't until after five o'clock that the house was finally cleaned up to a livable state, and as I gazed at the sparkling clean windows, a sense of accomplishment welled up inside me.
At this time, Xiao Nai also came out of the guest room with a trash bag. Earlier, he had finished sweeping the kitchen and was sent by Weiwei to tidy up the guest room. After tidying up the two rooms, even someone as elegant as Xiao Nai had a few streaks of dust on his face, and the paper hat that Weiwei made for him was slightly askew, but he still looked very handsome and stylish~~~
She glanced at him and couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter, the little bit of awkwardness she had in her heart completely dissipating with the sound.
Weiwei pushed him into the bathroom again: "Go wash up, I'll take you out for roast duck later."
Xiaoling's home is near a famous roast duck restaurant called Guizhen, which is known for its delicious and affordable food. For just over 20 yuan, you can have a whole roast duck meal that includes half a duck, crispy duck skin, stir-fried duck meat with vegetables, and a bowl of duck bone soup. Adding two side dishes and a plate of fruit, the meal is more than enough for two people.
After a slight sweep, the appetite opened wide and swept across the dinner table with great momentum. After eating to fullness, just walking out of the store, but seeing dark clouds outside, rumbling thunder, and soon "whoosh" heavy rain came down.
Had no choice but to wait in the store until the rain stopped before heading back.
The torrential rain didn't last long, stopping after just over ten minutes, but it swept away the scorching heat of the whole day. Walking on the road, I felt refreshed all over, and the air seemed especially fresh and lovely.
Xiao Nai looked up at the sky and suddenly smiled.
She felt a bit self-conscious today and did many silly things, suspecting that he was laughing at her. She shook his hand: "What are you laughing at?"
Xiao Nai turned his gaze to her, with a deeper smile in his eyes: "Nothing, I just feel that since you arrived, the weather here has gotten better."
Hey!
Don't be so melodramatic!
Her face was slightly red and her heart was racing as she stared at him, but her eyes were rippling with water, not staring at all, but rather seducing. Xiao Nai couldn't help himself, he lowered his head and kissed her lips lightly.
Weiwei suddenly felt that the distant thunder had returned. This, this was on the street, oh no, what if she was seen by others. Just as she was thinking about the problem of "being seen", Weiwei felt like someone was staring at her.
Subconsciously turning his head, he saw two identical little Lolis around four or five years old, with pigtails and biting their fingers, staring at them with big curious eyes that blinked once.
Oh God! With a faint cry, he grabbed Shonai and took off in a mad dash.
Xiao Nai had never been pulled along in such an unglamorous manner in his entire life, he was literally crying from laughing so hard.
Slightly.
"Hurry up and go, I'm shy."
After running wildly for a while, Weiwei couldn't run anymore, but still didn't let go of Xiaonai's hand, panting and dragging him along like an old cow. Dragging him to a clean patch of grass that hadn't been wet by the rain, Weiwei finally let go of his hand and collapsed onto the grass, motionless.
Xiao Nai walked over and sat down beside her.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
The evening breeze after the thunderstorm brings a faint scent of grass and trees, an elegant breath that intoxicates people, but perhaps it's more from the person beside me. Slightly sitting next to him, I find myself having an urge to get closer to him, hastily turning my head away, and start fiddling with the small grass beside me.
After a while, I suddenly remembered to ask him: "Why didn't you ask me why I came over suddenly?"
Do you need to ask? Xiao Nai raised an eyebrow in doubt.
Don't be so narcissistic, okay? Just ask! Weiwei urged with her gaze.
Xiao Nai smiled and said: "Well, Wei Wei, why did you suddenly come over?"
With a hint of satisfaction, she replied: "I'm here for an internship. My family couldn't find a suitable unit back home. Does your company accept interns?"
Xiao Nai solemnly said: "Our company's standards for hiring people are very high."
"...I'm just going as an intern, and you don't have to pay me a salary."
"Uh, free things need to be even more carefully considered."
She lightly plucked two blades of grass and threw them at him: "...... what exactly do you want."
"Are you trying to bribe me?"
How shameless can you be!
But under the eaves of the house, he slightly lowered his head: "How about I treat you to a midnight snack?"
Xiao Nai politely declined: "Sorry, apart from my wife's beauty, I don't accept any other bribes."
"......"
