once i loved you

Chapter 10

When Cen Xiao was a little lolita who followed the adults around, Cen's mother, who was very concerned about her daughter's fate, once took her to meet a fortune teller.

At that time, the fortune teller chattered a lot of industry jargon with Mother Cen.Cen's mother is impatient, impatient, and has a bad attitude. Let the fortune teller make it easier.The fortune teller told Cen's mother very straightforwardly and without turning a corner: "Daughter's life, although there has been no catastrophe, her fortune looks like a funnel."

In other words, whenever Cen Xiao encounters any particularly good things, she will definitely not be able to possess them for a long time. The particularly good things that belong to her will either die without a problem or be snatched away.

When Cen's mother heard this, she immediately became angry, and gave the gentleman a "fart" in a concise and concise manner, and then led Cen Xiao away carelessly.

Cen's mother thought that person was a charlatan with poor academic skills, so she didn't take this matter to heart at all, but this matter had a profound impact on the young Cen Xiao.

When she grew up, although she understood that these were superstitious remarks, she no longer believed them.But there is a terrible thing called subconsciousness, and her previous cognition has long penetrated into her mind.Whenever she acquires something that she has a great deal of possession, her subconscious mind jumps into action.

For example, at this moment, Gu Weiye said these words to her with determination.Her heart was obviously softened to a complete mess, but the fear brought by her subconscious was also desperately pulling her back.

Ye Chengjin, who is both internal and external, thoughtful, romantic, and hard-working, was the very good thing that appeared in her life. She tried hard and hard not to lose it, but the relationship lasted for more than three years. Did it slip away from the tight palm?
Cen Xiao was holding the phone, her eyes gradually lost focus, the light from the street lamp outside the window turned into countless round yellow spots in her eyes, she stood quietly in front of the window for a long time, but she still couldn't say a word.

"Scared you?" Gu Weiye asked softly.

She pursed her lips, nodded weakly and said, "A little bit."

"It's okay, don't be afraid." He actually laughed, but his tone was as gentle as an adult coaxing a child to sleep.

Cen Xiao knocked himself on the head, and said slowly: "Mr. Gu, I'm quite an ordinary person, you don't need to do so much for me." She actually wanted to say, "I'm not worth your trouble to chase after me." ", but this cognition is so unbelievable that Cen Xiao feels it is extravagant even to express it.

According to her literal meaning, Gu Weiye thought she was concerned about his recommendation of her to join Hongbai Video Studio, so he changed the topic to this, "If you mean your entry into Hongbai, then I can only It is not rational to say that you look at this matter. Cen Xiao, you only need to ask yourself two questions. First, do you want to join? Second, is joining beneficial to you?" Gu Weiye's voice was deep and powerful, and he analyzed objectively, " It’s true that I provided the opportunity, but it’s reserved for those who are prepared. If you can’t pass Mu Ziyue’s test, he won’t sell my face to keep you.”

Regardless of whether it is to maintain the quality of Hongbai's images or to consider commercial interests, Mu Ziyue, who holds the decision-making power, cannot let go of the income.Cen Xiao also understood this truth.

"Mr. Gu, thank you for your reminder. I will think about this matter carefully."

He said "um", "In addition to considering this matter, you should also consider our affairs."

"..."

Gu Weiye didn't panic or flustered, and continued to say like a strong negotiator, "You don't have to rush to conclusions, Cen Xiao, many things need to be tried before you have the right to speak."

Can this kind of thing be tried?Besides, agreeing to try means agreeing to communicate?

Cen Xiao twirled a lock of long hair scattered in front of his shoulders with his fingers, and was about to deny it, but Gu Weiye's breathing on the other end of the phone suddenly drifted away, as if he had said something to the person on his side before refocusing The voice said, as if I have known her for a long time: "Don't stay up too late, go to bed early, I have to go to work. I have plans for the next year, and I should be able to find time to go back. See you in Beijing then."

"I……"

"You don't want to see me?" He raised his voice at the end, his voice was slightly disappointed, and it was difficult to distinguish between emotions and anger.

Cen Xiao's head was buzzing right now, he couldn't think at all, so he could only say truthfully: "...that's not what I meant..."

"That's good." His tone became brisk again, "We'll get in touch when the time comes."

For the small rented apartment in Beijing, the payment is half a year.So in front of his parents, Cen Xiao also had a reason to go back.Parents persuaded her to transfer the house and rent it out and come back. Cen Xiao said "yes" perfunctorily, but she made up her mind to join Hongbai Video.

Now, how many people can develop their hobbies as careers?This opportunity is rare, and she doesn't want to miss it.

Since that phone call, Gu Weiye called twice and sent several messages.He didn't make any explicit and direct expressions like that day, and mostly asked about Cen Xiao's daily life, and the concern he showed for her was just right, and it didn't make Cen Xiao feel uncomfortable at all.

Although she didn't think about accepting anything, but the comfortable and natural way of communication, gradually, even Cen Xiao herself didn't realize that she had gradually let go of her defensive mentality towards Gu Weiye.

After the fifteenth day, Cen Xiao returned to Beijing.

After a new year, the furniture in the apartment she rented was covered with a thick layer of soil, and the windows in the house hadn't been opened for a long time, so it was extremely hot from the heating.As soon as Cen Xiaofu entered the room, he felt that the room was extremely smoky.

After arranging the clothes in the suitcase, she put on a half-worn loose T-shirt and a pair of loose jeans with suspenders, and started cleaning.

Just after wiping a writing desk, the phone that Cen Xiao threw on the sofa suddenly rang.

She rushed over, rubbed her hands together, took off the plastic gloves, and answered the phone in a panic before she had time to look at the screen, "Hello?"

There was a rush of coughing from the other end of the phone, and then "Hi——", Gu Weiye's voice seemed to hold a handful of dry and hot sand, and he passed it into her ear.

Hearing his voice, Cen Xiao was naturally surprised, but in the next second, his worries about his body immediately surpassed others, "Why is your voice like this? Do you have a cold?"

He said "um" with great difficulty, then took away the phone, cleared his throat a few times, managed to restore the volume, and then spoke to her again, "I have a loud throat and a low fever, but it's okay. Airplane, where are you? Let's hurry up and meet up, shall we?"

OK……?He was already like this, and the schedule was so tight. In just a few hours, if he didn't take the time to rest, he actually asked to see her. How could she be so determined to say no?

"I'm at home, not far from the airport, I'll take a taxi to find you." Cen Xiao said while standing up.

"No, don't run around." Gu Weiye was very pleased with his initiative, laughed hoarsely, and said, "Tell me your specific address, and I'll ask Ben to drive me there."

After Cen Xiao reported the address and hung up the phone, she realized something was wrong.She lived in a remote place, and there were no cafes or restaurants around the neighborhood that could provide hidden private rooms.

And Gu Weiye is a public figure, and it is inconvenient for him to go in and out of public places.So it seems that the only place where she can receive him is her own home.

But here comes the problem again.Meeting at her home, even if he doesn't mind the mess of her home, but according to their current relationship, it wouldn't be appropriate for her to bring him home to sit there.

In desperation, Cen Xiao turned on his laptop to search for a coffee shop near his residence, but when he found nothing, Gu Weiye arrived much sooner than she expected.

She hurried downstairs with the key, saw the black coupe parked downstairs, walked over, and was walking around to look inside the car, but the back door of the car was already opened for her.

"Come in first." His voice came from the back seat, it was only a little bit better than the phone, but the tiredness in it was more real.

From Cen Xiao's perspective, she could only see half of his upper body and the long legs hanging from the seat. She hesitated and entered the car.

She tied a ponytail loosely at the back of her head, and the little shattered hair hanging in front of her full forehead was slightly raised restlessly, her rippling eyes were full of vigilance and concern, and her little lips opened and closed when they hesitated to speak. Looking at the timid and vivid appearance, Gu Weiye's heart fluttered.

Noticing his scrutinizing gaze, she shyly moved towards the car door, but since she got into the car, she had been leaning against the door cautiously, and when she got carried away, she back hit the handle on the inside of the car ...

Cen Xiao squeezed his forehead and let out a muffled snort. Before he could react in the next second, his shoulders had already been easily lifted by him.

He glanced at her and said dumbfoundingly, "What are you hiding from? Am I that scary?"
