Chapter 214 212. Painful yet happy.

"Teacher Chen, you are finally back!"

Li Dabai shouted excitedly at the airport pick-up gate. It felt like a century had passed since she hadn't seen Chen Li'an for more than a month.

"Don't be fussy, what does it look like in a large crowd."

Chen Li'an looked at Li Dabai who was dangling his arm, and felt a little dizzy. No, it's not right to be a little airsick!Anyway, it's dizzy!
"Okay!" Li Dabai immediately became serious. During the time when Chen Li'an was away, she made up her own lessons, confident that she is now a mature assistant!

A mature assistant must be calm and not be as silly as before. This time I haven't seen Chen Li'an for a long time, I am a little excited, and I made a mistake.
Seeing Li Dabai in his professional attire, Chen Li'an glanced down, um. The quality of the black silk is not good, so I will buy some from public funds for Dabai as employee benefits.

Chen Li'an handed his box to Li Dabai and said, "Let's go, and tell me about the recent major events in the capital."

"Well, there are indeed several major events that need to be handled by you recently." Li Dabai said very professionally.

"Okay, let's talk in the car."

Not long after the car got out of the airport, Chen Li'an, who had always been used to sitting in the back row, sat in the co-pilot for an unprecedented time, not to see clearly, but to hear clearly, to understand everything!
Li Dabai didn't notice Chen Li'an's gaze, and he drove the car seriously and said, "The advertising effect of CCTV is very good. At present, Lixin VCD has occupied 50.00% of the national market, and the sales in the first half of the year have exceeded [-] million."

"Did my second uncle call you?" Chen Li'an asked, looking at Li Dabai with his head tilted.

Li Dabai hummed and said, "After the advertisement was launched, I contacted Mr. Er Qiao."

Chen Li'an nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Li Dabai immediately replied: "Yes, Ji Fa called and said that she hopes you will go to the United States next month, and she is going to hold a solo exhibition for you in New York."

"I'll talk to Jifa about this later, is there anything else?"

"Red River Valley is about to be screened, and Fengyue is also about to be screened in Xiangjiang. You may be required to participate in promotional activities."

Chen Li'an smacked his mouth, feeling that he will be very busy in the second half of the year. After a while, Li Dabai whispered again: "Mr. Chen, Sister Bai Qing is back, but she doesn't seem to be in the right condition. She is drawing in the studio every day. , don’t say much.”

"When did you come back?" Chen Li'an raised his eyes slightly and asked earnestly, "Why is the state wrong?"

Li Dabai thought for a while and said: "I don't talk much, and I just draw pictures every day. I'm too devoted, and I feel a little bit magical."

"Is the schedule still regular?" Chen Li'an asked.

"The work and rest are okay, there is nothing wrong with the body, but I feel a little nervous."

Chen Li'an nodded and said: "I know, she is like this when she is creating, and it will be fine when she finishes painting."

After Bai Qing went out for a few months, he probably found a new inspiration. Chen Li'an was a little curious about what she was painting this time.

But now it was getting late, Chen Li'an gave up his plan to go to the studio today, and went home to rest for a night before talking.

After returning home, Chen Li'an found that Li Dabai had cleaned the house for him in advance, changed the bedding, and even filled the refrigerator with ingredients.

The little assistant has really grown a lot. Chen Li'an looked at Li Dabai who was helping him pack his luggage, and wondered what kind of reward would be better.

"Dabai, you have done well during this time, let me give you a reward." Chen Li'an leaned against the door and said.

Li Dabai looked back at Chen Li'an and asked curiously: "Mr. Chen, what reward?"

"What reward do you want?" Chen Li'an asked with a smile.

Li Dabai was stunned for a while and then shook his head. The reward he wanted was not that simple, so let's wait and see.

Chen Li'an thought that Li Dabai was too embarrassed to speak up, so he said, "Since you don't know, then I will send you a red envelope as a compliment for your growth during this period."

"Then can I save it? I want to buy a bigger one in the future!" Li Dabai looked at Chen Li'an seriously and said.

Chen Li'an couldn't help laughing and said: "You can exchange points for great gifts with me, but it's not impossible, then you can save it."

After hearing Chen Li'an's promise, Li Dabai smiled immediately, and happily carried Chen Li'an's clothes to the balcony to do the laundry.

When Li Dabai finished washing his clothes and wanted to cook, he was ruthlessly driven away by Chen Li'an.

"Ms. Chen, why are you driving me away? You won't eat tonight." Li Dabai resisted and didn't want to leave. She bought a lot of vegetables today and wanted to have dinner together at night.

Chen Li'an pushed Li Dabai out of the door and said: "I don't want to eat at night, I just want to rest early, you go back to rest early, remember to pick me up tomorrow."

After Chen Li'an finished speaking, he slammed the door shut. Li Dabai who was outside the door snorted and turned around. He even bought wagyu beef specially.

After driving Li Dabai away, Chen Li'an filled himself with water and soaked comfortably in the bathtub. It was a bit depressing to live in Huangshan, and now he just wants to relax.

After soaking in the bathtub for a while, the image of Yasuko Tomita always appeared in Chen Li'an's mind, and the hand resting on the edge of the bathtub always wanted to pinch something.

Chen Li'an sighed, he seemed to be no less affected than Yasuko Tomita, he had to get out of this state as soon as possible.

Chen Li'an came out of the bathtub, found his phone and looked at the numbers in the address book, and after a while he struggled to call the girls' dormitory of Nortel.

In the girls' dormitory of Nortel, Jiang Qingqing was sitting under the electric fan bored, listening to Chen Zihan and Jiang Zhuqing's chirping chat, feeling extremely irritable.

Just as she was about to go out to get some air, someone outside suddenly called her name.

"Qingqing, your boyfriend's phone number!"

Jiang Qingqing immediately showed a happy expression when she heard it, she quickly responded and ran out, the chair was knocked down by accident.

After Jiang Qingqing ran out, Chen Zihan and Jiang Zhuqing looked at each other at the same time, and said in unison: "She has a boyfriend?!"

Looking at Jiang Zhuqing, who also knew nothing, Chen Zihan immediately became very curious. During this time, Jiang Qingqing didn't quarrel with her, and she always had an inexplicable sense of superiority. Looking at her eyes was like looking at a clown .

"Who is her boyfriend? Give her such confidence," Chen Zihan couldn't help muttering.

Jiang Zhuqing was also very curious, so he said, "Let's go and eavesdrop."

Chen Zihan was very moved, but thinking that Jiang Qingqing would definitely laugh at her if she was found out, she immediately shook her head and said, "I won't go, her boyfriend has nothing to do with me."

Seeing that Chen Zihan had no interest, Jiang Zhuqing had no choice but to give up, but she couldn't hide her curiosity.

The senior's pursuit of Jiang Qingqing was rejected, and she had a fight with Chen Zihan before because of Chen Li'an, why did she suddenly talk about her boyfriend now?

Jiang Zhuqing still couldn't hold back her curiosity, got up and ran out to eavesdrop, but before she went out, she saw Jiang Qingqing running back quickly, her face was blushing, she didn't know whether it was excitement or embarrassment.

After Jiang Qingqing returned to the dormitory with a blushing face, she didn't even look at Chen Zihan and Jiang Zhuqing. Thinking of what Chen Li'an said on the phone and asked her to do, she couldn't help being shy and a little inexplicably excited.

After Jiang Qingqing picked out a few clothes in the closet, she ran to change.

Chen Zihan squinted her eyes and looked at Jiang Qingqing's back. She could see clearly just now, Jiang Qingqing even took the stockings, and couldn't help but hum in her heart.

Jiang Qingqing already has a boyfriend, so why hasn't her "boyfriend" who is so inexplicable come back yet?

Chen Zihan took out the mobile phone that Chen Li'an bought for him, and skillfully dialed the number. The phone only rang once and was connected.

"Hey, are you back? I miss you so much."

Chen Li'an held the phone and listened to Chen Zihan's voice, and inexplicably thought of many things in his mind, but he suppressed the urge to move in his heart and said, "I just came back, and I miss you a lot."

"Really? Are you at home now? I'll go find you!" Chen Zihan said quickly.

Chen Li'an coughed and immediately said, "Tomorrow, I'll pick you up from school tomorrow."

"No need! I'll go there by myself, just wait for me at home!" Chen Zihan hung up the phone after speaking, jumped up excitedly and started looking for clothes, ready to kill him immediately.

After opening the closet, Chen Zihan thought of the stockings Jiang Qingqing was holding just now, snorted and found a pair of unopened ultra-thin stockings, that pervert likes the ultra-thin stockings that can be torn easily.

At Chen Li'an's home, he looked at the phone in his hand with a headache, and dialed it back. It's really not good tonight. It's not time for the two to meet, so let's wait.

If Jiang Qingqing and Chen Zihan were good sisters, Chen Li'an would call them all over, but they were both little girls, so this kind of thing would definitely not be acceptable.

Chen Li'an held the phone for 2 minutes before coaxing Chen Zihan to finish, and promised to pick her up early tomorrow, and play with her!Play with her all day!

After hanging up the phone, Chen Zihan sat in the dormitory depressed for a while, put the stockings back in the closet, turned to look at Jiang Qingqing who had already changed and was walking in small steps, and couldn't help snorting.

Pretentious!

Why don't you usually see you walking like this, Chen Zihan glanced at Jiang Qingqing's stocking legs and then looked away, her figure is about the same as hers, what's so good about it.

Jiang Qingqing didn't have time to deal with the eccentric Chen Zihan, so she took her bag and went out.

I haven't seen Chen Li'an for more than a month. During this time, Jiang Qingqing regretted and looked forward to it. She was so entangled that she felt like her brain was going to be broken. She couldn't figure out why such a thing felt so exciting.

It's obviously embarrassing, but every time I think about it, I still feel very excited and exciting.

Jiang Qingqing came to Chen Li'an's house with anxiety, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat when she knocked on the door, for fear that she would be greeted with various strange tasks when the door opened.

Chen Li'an opened the door and looked at Jiang Qingqing who was nervous outside the door. He didn't show any aggressiveness or oppressive feeling. Instead, he smiled gently at Jiang Qingqing and asked her to come in.

Seeing Chen Li'an's gentle gaze, Jiang Qingqing's nervousness dissipated a lot, she walked in with a blushing face and lowered her head, not daring to look at Chen Li'an, and was very entangled in how to address him.

"Come in and take a rest. You must be in a hurry because you came so fast." Chen Li'an smiled and took Jiang Qingqing's hand, and asked considerately, "What do you want to drink? Juice, soda or some wine?"

Jiang Qingqing raised her head and looked at the gentle Chen Li'an, still a little uncomfortable, and said in a low voice, "It's all fine."

Chen Li'an thought for a while and said, "Then have a drink. I brought back two good bottles of wine from Paris a while ago, let's taste them together."

"Okay" Jiang Qingqing watched Chen Li'an open a bottle of wine she didn't know, and immediately smelled a sweet scent of wine, which was quite pleasant.

Chen Li'an poured a glass and shook it lightly, then handed it to Jiang Qingqing and said, "This wine tastes good and is very suitable for Chinese tastes."

Jiang Qingqing took the wine and subconsciously put it to her mouth and took a sip. It felt a bit astringent, but the taste was really good, with a strong fruity aroma and a soft taste.

Chen Li'an also poured himself a glass. While drinking, he looked at Jiang Qingqing. Seeing her nervousness, he couldn't help but smiled and asked, "Am I that scary?"

Jiang Qingqing immediately shook her head and sipped her wine, always worried that Chen Li'an would call herself master in the next second.

But Chen Li'an doesn't have that plan now, everything must be done step by step, blindly aggressive is not enough, romance and tenderness are essential.

Chen Li'an played a piano piece with a cheerful rhythm and a relaxed melody, took out a flower from the vase that Li Dabai had just changed, walked up to Jiang Qingqing and handed it to her, saying, "Can you dance?"

"meeting"

Looking at the gentlemanly and romantic Chen Li'an, Jiang Qingqing felt the tension in her heart disappear, and just as she reached out to take the flowers, she felt Chen Li'an's arms around her waist.

Looking at Chen Li'an who was close at hand, Jiang Qingqing felt her heart pounding, subconsciously stretched out her hand to support Chen Li'an's shoulder, and responded to his invitation with a standard dance.

With Jiang Qingqing in his arms, Chen Li'an casually jumped up to the soft music, dancing gently in the spacious living room.

Jiang Qingqing followed Chen Li'an's dance steps and rhythm, swayed her body slightly, looked up at Chen Li'an's handsome face, then lowered her head to his chest with a blushing face, wondering why such a gentleman and gentle person would There is that side.

At the end of the song, Jiang Qingqing had completely let go of her nervousness, put her arms around Chen Li'an's waist, leaned against his arms, and felt the brief tenderness and romance.

Jiang Qingqing knew very well that there would definitely be a different event tonight, and the romantic and tender time would soon be over.

Chen Li'an let go of Jiang Qingqing, looked into her beautiful eyes, and asked softly, "Would you like to soak for a while to relax?"

Jiang Qingqing felt a little nervous again, it was different from the last time in the hotel, this time she really wanted to meet honestly, but since she came, she was naturally prepared.

So he watched Chen Li'an nodded slightly, let Chen Li'an pick him up, and walked towards the bathroom.

After a while, there was a strange conversation inside.

"Remember what you were supposed to call me?"

"Master."

"Then why didn't you call in the first place?"

"I'm sorry."

"If you do something wrong, you will be punished. Put your feet up."

"Yes, master."

Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp sound, accompanied by Jiang Qingqing's soft cry of pain, mixed with a trace of strange excitement and expectation.

Soon there was a very warm daily conversation inside.

"Have you ever raised a small animal?"

"I did, I raised a puppy when I was a child."

"Will you take it out to play?"

"Master, what are you holding in your hand?"

"Don't you know? Didn't you have a dog? Come here, I will teach you to liberate your nature."

"."

An unspeakable night passed like this. When Chen Li'an woke up the next day, he looked at the chain he was holding in his hand, and then at Jiang Qingqing, who was still sleeping soundly and still blushing.

Why did you forget to untie it after class last night? After muttering something, Chen Li'an carefully untied the ornament on Jiang Qingqing's neck, then got up to brush her teeth and wash her face, and made breakfast before waking up Jiang Qingqing who was still sleeping. sunny.

Jiang Qingqing opened her eyes in a daze, and saw Chen Li'an looking down at her, got up reflexively, regardless of the pain in her knee, and stretched out her hand to him.

Chen Li'an: "." The effect of yesterday's class was a bit too good.

"It's time to eat. I made you some noodles." Chen Li'an gently held her, squeezed her palm with a smile and said, "But first, I need to brush my teeth and wash my face."

Jiang Qingqing was so dizzy that she still didn't wake up, or she was still immersed in the memory of yesterday's class, she subconsciously shouted: "Thank you, master."

Chen Li'an rubbed Jiang Qingqing's head and said, "It's already morning, don't get confused, get up."

After listening to Chen Li'an's words, Jiang Qingqing regained consciousness a little. Looking at the sunlight coming in from the window, she looked down at her current posture, and immediately blushed.

It's already daytime, it's not class time, why is she still like this, Jiang Qingqing immediately wanted to stand up, but her swollen knees and the tearing pain left over from last night made her unsteady and fell to the ground bed.

Jiang Qingqing felt wronged and raised her head to look at Chen Li'an and said, "Master, my leg hurts."

Such Jiang Qingqing really makes people feel distressed. Chen Li'an bent down and patted her head and said, "Then you go to sleep and have a good rest. I will bring the food in, but you have to rinse your mouth first before eating."

Jiang Qingqing covered herself with the quilt with both hands, and nodded with blushing happiness. She likes the gentle Chen Li'an now, and also likes the strict Chen Li'an last night.

The contrast brought by the two different feelings, and the contrast in herself made her feel very novel and exciting, and she was a little fascinated by this kind of life separated from day and night.

Chen Li'an was not as impatient as Ren He was, and gently wiped Jiang Qingqing's face and rinsed her mouth before feeding her breakfast.

Jiang Qingqing was lying on the bed enjoying Chen Li'an's careful care, the smile on her face never disappeared, she grabbed Chen Li'an's clothes with one hand, afraid that such gentle care would disappear in the next second.

If Chen Li'an only had the sternness and strength of last night's class, Jiang Qingqing felt that she might not be tempted, but when she saw Chen Li'an's gentleness and consideration before and after class, she would not be able to stop sinking. In the sharp trap, there is pain and happiness.
