never heard i love you

Chapter 2 Old Love (2)
Shu Pei rubbed her swollen eyes, got up from the bed with a splitting headache, changed her clothes and went downstairs for a run.Probably because of the hangover, after running for two laps, I felt a dull throbbing pain in my temples, so I had to stop.After finishing stretching, the sun had already risen above the horizon, and just as he took out his mobile phone to check the time, he received a call from Yan Susu, inviting her to have morning tea.

Thinking about drinking too much last night, she agreed, went home, took a shower, changed into a long taupe-colored dress, and went out to take a taxi to the teahouse.

"Combo, we broke up not long after you left last night." Yan Susu held a large plate of breakfast, and before she was seated, she gossiped with great interest: "But Fang Yiran and his girlfriend seem to have a conflict. You said he is Not looking back."

"Boring..." Shu Pei was noncommittal, and the impression of the other party in her heart was also a little bit worse.

"It's boring, anyway, just remember, even if all the men in the world are dead, you can't turn back." Yan Susu took a bite of the shrimp dumpling bitterly, with a grim expression: "Otherwise, no friends will make it."

"How can you tell that I'm the kind of brainless person." Shu Pei smiled wryly, picked up a spoon and took a mouthful of lotus leaf porridge into his mouth: "Don't talk about him, it's a disappointment."

Yan Susu was very satisfied with her attitude, and changed the topic of chatting.

After drinking morning tea, Shu Pei stopped by the store and walked around. The clerk Meiya said that someone gave her a gift this morning.It was a very ordinary brown wrapping paper, with a square shape that looked nothing special.

Taking it in her hand and turning it around at random, she suddenly saw the unique bow, and her eyebrows were immediately furrowed.After writing down the raw materials that needed to be supplemented, Shu Pei hesitated before leaving and took the gift.

Going to Shuguang to get her car back, she didn't go back to the apartment, but went to the Xinhua community where her parents lived.The home, which had been quiet for less than ten days, returned to the usual smoky, mahjong sound.

Suppressing her irritability, Shu Pei went to the kitchen to say hello to her father, and was about to leave.

"Peipei, your mother has something to tell you, let's go after dinner." Shu Chuande wiped the sweat from his forehead, and called his daughter: "She recently found another way to make money, and she won't play mahjong tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." gone."

Shu Pei leaned absently on the door frame of the kitchen, her eyes met her father's longing eyes, her heart suddenly softened, she pursed her lips and retreated to her room.

After a while, there was the rattling sound of chairs being moved in the living room, followed by Shu's mother Guo Yueyao's loud voice: "I said Shu Pei, can you be a little bit promising? Fang Yiran's crooked neck tree that was split from the root, Is it worth your hanging on it?"

Shu Pei opened the door depressedly: "Who said I'm going to hang myself?"

Guo Yueyao glanced at her suspiciously: "If you didn't hang yourself, why did you put off the blind date? It's the same in that they are not as good as above. You need to look good and have a stable job. There are two houses in the city. Marriage How comfortable it used to be."

"There is a house in the city, and the combined area of ​​the two houses is not as big as ours. Comfortable? The fire pit is about the same." Shu Pei thought of the man who went to the store the day before yesterday and refused to leave. If a strange man comes to my shop, we will avoid talking about anything related to blind dates in the future."

Seeing that her daughter was really angry, Guo Yueyao went to the kitchen angrily to wash her hands.Shu Chuande was putting vegetables on the plate, and when he saw this, he carefully stepped aside and advised in a low voice: "It's fine if Pei Pei doesn't want to marry, why do you keep forcing her to do something?"

"Who forced her? Ever since she and Fang Yiran separated two years ago, she has been focused on opening a store. Now that I have a house and a car, why don't you marry me and stay with me for June [-]st?!" Guo Yueyao choked on her husband, cold With a straight face, he picked up the bowls and chopsticks from the cabinet and turned to the restaurant.

Shu Pei listened to his mother's words word for word, and suddenly woke up.After June 25st, wouldn't I be 26 to [-]?She didn't dare to talk back anymore, and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.

During the dinner, Guo Yueyao's words were all about getting married and having children.Shu Pei silently shut her mouth and ate her food, thinking that not getting married is not a heinous matter, why is she so tirelessly brainwashed.

After eating, I came out of the house and saw that it was still early, so I drove to the largest wholesale farmers' market in Xingang.The bosses of several shops in the fruit wholesale area recognized her and greeted her with smiles when they saw her coming.Shu Pei looked around from house to house, placed an order and bought some food for herself, and left in the afternoon.

Back downstairs in her apartment, she vaguely remembered the gift box that was thrown in the storage box, and took it upstairs.It looks like an ordinary box, every detail is carefully cut and pasted, including the bow.

White and slender fingers caressed the soft angel wings, and after a pause, they did not open the package.While distracted, the phone next to her suddenly rang a text message.Shu Pei's chest was pounding with fright, and she unlocked it suspiciously to check.The sender is 10086, and the content is: Your monthly subscription data for this month is not much...

Not He Zian!Patting her chest guiltily, she got up and walked to the window, thinking about how to face him with a headache.I pretended not to remember this, but it would be embarrassing to meet every day, and his part-time job was better than the regular job in the store, so there was really no reason to dismiss him.

While she was struggling, He Zian, who was still working overtime at the company, was worried.

A few hours ago, he made a special trip to Shu Pei's store, but Meiya informed her that she hadn't come all day after she had received a gift.In the past, she stayed in the store most of the time every day. Based on her understanding, she would greet her in advance even if there was something to do, and it was unlikely that she would not show up for no reason.

After thinking about it again and again, He Zian squinted his eyes and looked around, reached out and slid the mouse, and typed out on his computer meeting document: This is the end of tonight's meeting. Before noon tomorrow, I hope you can come up with a plan that satisfies me.

At the same time as he finished typing, the notebook computer also finished reading the voice report simultaneously.

The conference room with simple and modern decoration was silent for two seconds, and people got up one after another.Xiang Chen put away the documents at hand, and when everyone else had left, he looked at He Zian face to face and said, "Did something happen to Attendre?"

"Shu Pei didn't go to the store today." He Zi'an closed the computer, gestured with a pair of fair and bony hands, and asked in sign language: "Where do you think she might go?"

"Since you're worried, why not send her a text message to ask." Xiang Chenmo paused, and continued to sign with sign language: "I think you're thinking too much."

"I hope I'm thinking too much. Do you know the man who followed her last night?" He Zi'an finished his gestures and fixedly looked at him: "Find someone reliable to investigate."

"I said, you're doing so many things behind your back, why don't you just confess to her directly." Xiang Chen looked at him with some sympathy: "Don't worry so much."

He Zian shrugged helplessly, turned around and walked towards the bar in front of the French windows.How could he not have any worries? If he was a healthy person, he would have shown his heart as early as the moment he met her again, so why would he try his best just to be by her side.

Xiang Chen silently looked at his slightly lonely back, and sighed softly.On the surface, He Zian is more optimistic than anyone else, but emotionally, he is the most vulnerable one.The flaws that seem insignificant to him are clearly scourges in the eyes of others, and he is afraid to avoid them.

After two days of calm, Shu Pei finally decided to pretend nothing happened, and got up early to go to the farmers' market to restock.

The sun has just emerged from the horizon, and the whole Xingang is still sleeping. The blue and white sky is so clean that there is no trace of impurities.After parking the car downstairs in the Yuefeng Building in the CBD, Shu Pei picked up the fruit piled on the passenger seat, and walked to the door of her shop with a grunt.

While rummaging through the bag for the keys, He Zian appeared from nowhere, easily picked up the two boxes of fruit on the ground, and nodded to her with a smile.

"Zian, why did you come so early?" Shu Pei also smiled, quickly suppressed the uneasiness in her eyes and pressed the key into the lock.

He Zian put the fruit in the back kitchen, walked over with a straight posture, gestured with his hands up and down, and told her in sign language: "I know you are going to go shopping today."

Shu Pei roughly saw what he meant, thinking about the high-quality imitation clothes he was wearing on the night of Shuguang, whether they were rented or bought from Taobao, she pretended to be casual and said: "Thank you! Also, this month I plan to give You raise your hourly wage." After speaking, she turned around and left the shop, and drove the car into the underground parking lot of the building.

Increase hourly wages? !The corner of He Zian's mouth twitched subconsciously, and he walked aside to put on the clothes with the shop's logo on it.

Shu Pei parked the car and went back to the shop. He Zi'an was wearing Attendre's shop uniform, bending over to wipe the small wooden sign that was open.The tables and chairs that were not cleared before leaving last night have also been straightened.She walked uncomfortably into the counter that doubled as the operating table, peeking at his busy figure from the corner of her eye, a little distracted.

He said that he was 27 years old, with a clear and clean baby face, friendly and youthful, and his eyes were surprisingly clear and bright.The facial features are not outstanding, but they are exceptionally handsome when combined.As long as you smile, those eyes that seem to be talking will immediately bend into crescents.

Maybe it was He Zian who felt that Shu Pei was looking at him, and suddenly turned around and smiled softly.Embarrassed, Shu Pei withdrew her slightly sympathetic gaze, thinking about the forced marriage, her temples throbbed faintly.In the silence, a cleaner came to pick up the trash outside the door, so she hurriedly made a cup of hot milk and walked out of the counter to deliver it to the cleaner.

Stopping outside the door to chat with the cleaner, she went back to the store and saw that it was almost 7 o'clock, so she went to the back kitchen to find He Zian.He couldn't hear him, so Shu Pei could only walk up to him, raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder, and waited for him to turn his head before smiling and saying, "Zian, you came too early today, so I want to invite you to have breakfast."

He Zian looked away from her slightly pink face, returned a gentle smile, nodded slightly, and then took off the shop clothes on her body.

With a pull and a lift, the firm muscles of his abdomen were only slightly exposed.Shu Pei backed out a little uncomfortably, took her coin purse and went outside the store to wait.In fact, Attendre also sells hot milk, soy milk and hot corn juice, but she is just tired of eating them.

As usual, Shu Pei ate the rice noodles quietly without mentioning the kiss.The smile on He Zian's face remained the same, and he looked up at her from time to time, but he didn't mean to mention it.

Just after returning to the store after breakfast, Shu Pei's mobile phone buzzed in her bag. She hung up the open sign, glanced at the number and swiped the answer button with one hand: "Mom, what's the matter?"

"Why can't I call you because you're fine?" Guo Yueyao grabbed the deep-fried dough stick in one hand and slurped down a big mouthful of soy milk: "The person next door Auntie Zhang found for you was off work at night, so you can book a place to have dinner together. "

Shu Pei stood with her back to the store door, and instinctively frowned: "Today, the store has to settle accounts, so I don't have time."

Guo Yueyao suddenly raised her voice: "Shu Pei, can you be more realistic?"

"Why am I unrealistic?" Shu Pei's voice subconsciously raised her voice, "Isn't it okay to go on a blind date after two days of busy work?" After finishing speaking, she ignored her mother's abuse and decisively ended the call.Depressedly, she raised her head, her eyes met He Zi'an's thoughtful eyes without warning.Touching her cheek suspiciously, she barely opened the corner of her mouth and was about to speak, when the sensor behind her suddenly rang: "Welcome."

Shu Pei put on a smile and turned around. A strange young boy came in with a bunch of purple hyacinths in his hands, and asked her to sign with a bright smile.

Due to the location of the store, Shu Pei often receives flowers from anonymous people, but this is the first time she has encountered the one who sent purple hyacinths.After signing, the moment she put down the pen, she thought of Fang Yiran for no reason.

Only he knows best that he likes purple hyacinths.All the good moods became inexplicably bad with the emergence of this name.She casually threw the flowers into the operating table, picked up the calculator and ledger, and went to the back kitchen to settle the accounts with a blank expression.

He Zian stared at the door of the back kitchen as it closed, and calmly pulled out the card from the bouquet.A dark brown hard paper card with a blank top, only a strangely shaped bow was traced on the lower right corner of the back with a dark red signature pen.It's just the familiar English name of the signing office, which made him quickly think of the person Xiang Chen checked yesterday.

The creative director of Zunchuang Media, Shu Pei's first love boyfriend.Could it be that Shu Pei didn't come to the store for two days because of him?Thinking of this possibility, He Zian immediately put the card back as it was, his sword eyebrows furrowed tightly.

As soon as the working hours came, the surrounding office buildings quickly became lively.Shu Pei stayed in the back kitchen to settle the bills, and He Zi'an was busy outside until the end of the part-time job, but he didn't see her come out, so he had to take the opportunity of changing clothes to say goodbye to her with a smile.

Shu Pei raised her head, and said with a smile as usual: "Be careful on the road, if you can't do it, you can take a taxi back, and the fare shop will report it to you."

He Zian raised his hand and pointed to his leg, indicating that he didn't need it, and then politely withdrew.Walking forward for about [-] meters along the right side of Attendre, he quickened his pace and crossed the intersection, getting into the back seat of a Volvo parked by the side of the road.

Seeing that he seemed to have something on his mind, Xiang Chen in the driver's seat turned around and asked in sign language, "Go back to the company?"

He Zian ignored his suspicious look, nodded with a smile, and leaned back in the chair comfortably.The black Volvo started its engine and moved forward, bypassing the left side of Yuefeng Building, and drove smoothly into the underground parking lot of the opposite building.The two got out of the car and walked into the exclusive elevator with ease, reaching the 27th floor.

After getting out of the elevator, the two walked into one of the offices with ease, and sat on the bar in front of the window one after another.He Zian picked up the binoculars on his seat, leaned over and looked down.The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are transparent and bright, with excellent views.

The Attendre sign on the opposite building is very small, but the grass-green signboard background color, combined with the black French word Waiting, is still very eye-catching.

Ever since he found out that Shu Pei opened a shop across the street a year ago, his favorite thing to do is to sit quietly by the window and watch her rush in and out.After a while, He Zian put down the binoculars with a smile, and motioned for Xiang Chen to get the computer.

Xiang Chen gave him a speechless look, got up and went to the executive desk to bring the custom-made laptop for the two of them, and at the same time arranged for the secretary to prepare coffee through the internal line.After each of them was busy starting up for about an hour, He Zi'an finished adjusting the plan sent by the film team, and suddenly asked Xiang Chen on UC if he had dinner.

Although he got used to his jumping thinking early in the morning, Xiang Chen still felt a little surprised.Stopping what he was doing, he quickly typed a line in the dialog box: Eat, what do you want to say.

He Zian withdrew his hand from the keyboard, and told him in sign language with a calm face that he hadn't eaten yet.The smile on Xiang Chen's face froze for a second, and resignedly took the extension on the side, and quickly notified the staff downstairs that the restaurant would deliver the food.

After lunch, I continued to work until the afternoon, sending the first-time composite effect data to Chen, and going to meet the film director and distributor.He Zian cleaned up the table, left the office and went upstairs to find his brother He Ziming to go home for dinner.

When he reached the 33rd floor, he stood outside the door and rang the two-way induction doorbell.A few seconds later, a slight tingling sensation came from his fingertips. He smiled and opened the door to go in. He sat on the swivel chair opposite the executive desk and asked in sign language, "When can I leave?"

He Ziming raised his head from the pile of materials, his tense expression eased, and said with a light smile, "That's good."

He Zian also smiled, picked up a business plan, looked at it puzzled and asked in sign language: "Will the company continue to cooperate with Zunchuang?"

He Ziming shook his head, took a pen and paper and wrote down: Zunchuang was acquired by Hurricane last month, I want to advertise a few new episodes on Hurricane's TV station.Not sure yet.

He Zian took the note and looked at it for a while, then put it back on the executive desk calmly, smiled and urged him to go home quickly with sign language.He Ziming looked at his younger brother who looked expectant, and simply packed up and went downstairs together.

During dinner, He Mu Chen Junping talked about the marriage, and asked the two brothers in a quiet tone when they would go on a blind date.

He Ziming waved his hands again and again, indicating that this matter is not urgent.He Zi settled down, recalling that Shu Pei was going on a blind date, and quickly told his mother in sign language: "I'm full, go upstairs first."

After he left, He Ziming said nonchalantly, "Zian seems to have fallen in love with a girl, don't mention the blind date in front of him in the future."
