Married for a long time

Chapter 166 [Qiao Su] Introduction

As soon as Qiao Peiyu left, Su Li's life returned to its former peace.

It's just that in this medium-sized apartment, his presence and aura seemed to linger in every corner. She would occasionally stare at the kitchen, dining table, and sofa in a daze.

The short time we spent together these past few days would always keep wandering around in her mind.

Especially the scene of watching a movie with him and playing various games in the game city that day was warm and sweet.

It was beyond her reach.

So it seemed understandable that these scenes appeared one after another in her dreams.

She never drove the car that Qiao Peiyu left for her, and she still squeezed the bus to go to work every morning.

This Saturday, Zhou Qiong, the leader of another group, had a birthday treat and invited many colleagues, and Su Li was included in the invitation.

Su Li doesn't like to participate in such group activities, but she can't refuse a party like a birthday, so she can only agree.

Zhou Qiong booked a private room in a mid-range restaurant and the party was in the evening.

In the afternoon, she drove to a shopping mall and struggled a little with the gift. She finally weighed the relationship and their current salary standards, and finally chose a 1399 bracelet.

In fact, she has a lot of brand new jewelry in the cloakroom at home that she has never worn before, which can be used as gifts.

But those jewelry are expensive compared to their current wages. After all, one bracelet can be their salary for less than half a year.

Moreover, there will be so many colleagues here today. If the gift she gives is too eye-catching, it will easily be regarded as showing off and causing hatred.

At about six o'clock in the evening, she drove to the restaurant where the party was held.

She locked her car and met a few colleagues.

Among them was Zhou Qiong, as well as a few new faces. They were chatting and laughing. When they saw her, they were stunned for a moment and then greeted her with a smile.

"Su Li, did you drive here?"

Being stared at by so many people at the same time, Su Li looked a little uncomfortable. She threw the car keys into her bag and nodded, "Yeah."

Originally, she was planning to take the bus or take the subway, but the subway was not directly accessible. She had to walk for more than ten minutes after getting off the subway, and she had to transfer by bus. It was too troublesome and it was a little far from the apartment where she lived, so she just drove. coming.

After a few seconds of silence, she saw that Zhou Qiong was already carrying several gift bags of different colors, so she handed out the pink blue gift bag in her hand, "Team Leader Zhou, happy birthday."

"Thank you. You're too polite. Just come here. Why don't you bring any gifts?" Zhou Qiong took it with a smile, "I've spent a lot of money on you."

After saying that, she introduced a few new faces next to her.

They were her two best friends, her brother and her cousin.

Her brother's girlfriend happened to be in their department, a member of the same team as Zhou Qiong, and I heard it was Zhou Qiong who introduced her.

"This is my cousin Sheng Qianxun. He is 27 years old and works as a tester in a game company."

"This is a member of another team in our department. His name is Su Li. He has a good personality, good abilities, and is serious about his work."

Su Li always felt weird hearing this suggestion. It was just a meal, and they would never meet again in the future, so there was no need to introduce it in such detail.

The man named Sheng Qianxun smiled at her and stretched out his hand, "Hello."

He is quite tall, probably 1.8 meters+. He is dressed casually, not mature, and looks like an ordinary handsome guy.

Anyway, overall it looks okay.

The other party had already greeted him in a friendly way, and it was not easy for her to save face, so she could only stretch out her hand and shake it lightly, "Hello."

Sheng Qian looked at this very polite and gentleman person. When shaking hands, he only held half of her fingers, and lightly touched her fingers before letting go.Seeing that the atmosphere was getting more and more weird and embarrassing, Zhou Qiong smiled and said, "Let's go in first, it's so cold outside."

When they arrived at the private room on the third floor, there were already three or five colleagues inside.

After watching them say hello again and give out gifts, everyone took their seats.

Sheng Qianxun happened to be sitting next to her, and Ruan Fu was sitting on the other side.

The private room was reserved a few days ago, including the dishes, which can be served as long as everyone is together.

It's just that there are still three people who haven't come yet, so there is no rush to serve the food. Everyone is chatting and laughing lively.

Sheng Qianxun on the side kept talking to her, "I heard from my cousin that you are from S city?"

Su Li was stunned, looked back at him, and nodded, "Yeah."

"I'm from the north. Isn't the winter in S city not cold? It doesn't snow either?"

"Well, the average temperature over there is higher."

"That's good. It's very cold here in Nandu. The year I first came here, I really couldn't bear it." Sheng Qianxun said with a smile, "I will also go to S City to play next time I have a chance. Is there anything fun and delicious over there?”

Su Li opened her lips and briefly mentioned two places and a few delicacies.

Sheng Qianxun used this topic to continue chatting. About seven or eight minutes later, the door of the private room was pushed open, and the three late arrivals came, carrying a two-layer cake in their hands.

There was a burst of excitement in the private room again.

Su Li just stood up and smiled without saying a word.

After everyone was seated again, Zhou Qiong asked the waiter to serve the food and drinks.

"What do you like to drink?" Sheng Qianxun suddenly turned to ask her.

"No need." Su Li was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "I can drink warm water, not cold water."

"Is your stomach feeling bad?"

"No, I just don't like drinking cold drinks in winter."

She didn't want to talk about any more privacy. After all, it was the first time they met, and she was more socially afraid of the opposite sex, so she felt awkward and uncomfortable accepting anything she said.

Zhou Qiong stood up and toasted, "Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate my 35th birthday. I'm very grateful. This cup is my tribute to you. You can do whatever you want. I hope everyone can have a happy meal and play today." Have fun."

After saying that, she drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The rest of them all said "Happy Birthday". A few sweet-tongued girls said a few more words of blessing and then each raised their glasses and took a sip.

Most of the people were holding wine in their hands. Only two or three girls were holding drinks. Only Su Li was holding a glass of warm water.

The dinner table was always lively. Sheng Qianxun didn't seem to be good at drinking. After drinking the first drink, he switched to drinks. He was also chatting and laughing with other people, and occasionally exchanged a few words with Su Li. .

She got up to go to the bathroom midway, but Sheng Qianxun thought she was going to get something and asked to help her get it.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "I...go to the bathroom."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were going to get the tissue over there." Sheng Qianxun raised his hand and scratched his head in embarrassment, with a smile on his face and his eyes shining brightly.

Su Li said "It's okay" and was about to leave. Ruan Fu suddenly said, "Su Li, I want to go to the bathroom too, let's go together."

"it is good."
