In memory, you smiling

Chapter 14 Looking at her from afar, eyes full of tenderness (2)
But what Hua Zuoyi is most afraid of is the word "serious".That night, she resolutely did not show up at the hotel agreed with Pan Kaichen, but attended the party of dispatched employees dressed up.

She told herself that it was all about meeting Joris.

"The female man who came back from Tibet!"

"cheers!"

The atmosphere in the small bar was blazing.Everyone is a dispatched employee of Yuanhang, and it is a rare opportunity to gather together, as if they have passed their tail teeth in advance.Compared with the intrigues in large companies, regular workers who step on each other to climb up, and dispatched employees who have no interest competition, the relationship between them is more like a big family relationship.

Now in this big family, the most famous one is Qiao Lisi.She is simply a hero among the poor, a young eagle among the sparrows, and an idol worshiped by everyone.The most famous thing is that she not only punched a corporate executive until his stomach bleeds, but also SI dared not fire her and begged her to go back to save the relationship with a big client.That boss Chen goes to SI every other day, and refuses to sign a contract extension until he sees Qiao Lisi.

Joris was annoyed, so she simply took several years of paid leave, lost all her troubles, and went to the frontier she was longing for.

She was tanned, but she smiled more. When she looked at Hua Zuoyi, who was late, the leisurely man leaning against the bar also spotted Hua Zuoyi at the same time. He raised his glass and grinned. White Fang smiled and said, "Zoe, so late."

Few people can combine wildness and elegance. That special temperament that can drive women crazy makes Chu Qing accosted by women in bars all night.He got up and came to Hua Zuoyi's side, his calm and steady smile caught the eyes of others.

"Congratulations," he said.

CQ knew it. He had originally arranged for the nursing home, and someone must have told him about his mother's condition.

"Thank you, without your help, I'm still in a state of desperation." Hua Zuoyi held his hand gratefully.The sweet smile fell in Chu Qing's eyes, it was actually the most beautiful scene in his memory, and he almost forgot to let go until someone called her away.

"Zoe, how are you doing?" Just returned from the free travel in Tibet, Joris' body covered with the vast earth is more like an Amazon female warrior than before.She gave Hua Zuoyi a big hug, and whispered in her ear, "Thank you for everything you have done for me, which is useless and embarrassing."

"Well, I'll take it as you are praising me."

After drinking for three rounds, some people gradually couldn't hold on.

"What are you looking at me for?" Joris glanced over coldly.

Under the dim light, colleagues laughed endlessly, but Hua Zuoyi always stared at her in silence with creepy eyes.

Hua Zuoyi smiled through her drunkenness and said, "Qiao Lisi, when are you going back to SI?"

"I don't want it." She raised her eyebrows, the corners of her overly slender eyebrows were sharp and confident, "The world is so big, I want to see it."

Surprisingly, Qiao Lisi did not see disappointment in Hua Zuoyi's eyes.Hua Zuoyi seemed a little drunk, and could only smile silly.

Nervous, what's so funny, like a fool.Although Qiao Lisi thought so, after watching her smirk for a long time, she seemed to be infected too, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up.

What a fool, since you are so timid and afraid of getting into trouble, why do you want to stand up for her? Do you think she will appreciate her?Well, it's a little bit...

I never planned to cooperate with anyone, but teamed up with Hua Zuoyi by accident. While enduring her tepid character, I gradually recognized her existence, so I felt uncomfortable when we parted. Abandon.

Joris scratched her short, willful hair and put her troubles behind her.

"Come on, Zoe, I respect you."

At the end of the song, everyone drank comfortably and bid farewell staggeringly.

When Chu Qing, who paid the bill, returned to the card position, there was only one kitten left.

"Everyone is gone." Hua Zuoyi propped her head up, propped her two fingers on the table, and smiled at him like a girl, her slightly drunken face was as rosy as an apple.

"What about you?"

"Can't stand up." She showed an annoyed expression, like a child, it seemed that she really drank too much.

Chu Qing was wearing a suit in his hand, and the tie on his shirt was loose. He switched from the social mode of the suit to the private mode just now.He leaned over and easily pulled her up from the sofa, and said in a voice that was low to others, including Hua Zuoyi: "Come on, I'll take you home."

The lights outside the car windows are shining brightly, and the bustling night scene is constantly being left behind.Hua Zuoyi felt like she was sitting on a shuttle or floating on the sea, staggering and feeling warm all over her body.

The tall man beside him was humming a ditty, and his strong arms were exposed from the rolled up sleeves of his shirt.He turned his head and grinned at her: "Hey, don't fall asleep."

Maybe it was the night or the neon, the unpredictable light and shadow fell on his handsome facial features carefully polished by a sculptor, and he looked like a god in ancient Greek legends, full of masculinity and beauty.Hua Zuoyi stared blankly.

Chu Qing waved his hand in front of her straight eyes.

Hua Zuoyi yawned now, and barely opened her eyes: "Thank you for sending me off."

"Did you watch you sleep to death in the bar? In your eyes, I am such a person?" Chu Qing raised the corner of his mouth and changed the subject, "You don't seem very disappointed that Qiao Lisi didn't return to SI."

"Well, it's okay, she has no regrets."

Joris is an indestructible female warrior. Because she hates being restricted, she always soars like an eagle. If she has no regrets, she will flap her wings and fly away.She has always regretted not being of help to the fat senior, and she will not forgive herself if she keeps watching Qiao Lisi coldly.

Before the red light, he stopped.The huge SUV in the night is like a moving castle, safe and reliable, not only blocking the cold wind but also isolating the night.

"Don't you ask for leave to spend a few days with your mother?"

"Is it okay?" Hua Zuoyi smiled stupidly again, like a satisfied child, "Can you not deduct my money."

"I'm the best at deducting money." CQ laughed heartily, his laughter shook the heart, and even his heart would itch.

"Hey, you're annoying." Hua Zuoyi acted like a spoiled child through drunkenness, her eyes narrowed into a line, and her hands greeted the person next to her unrulyly.

"Okay, just kidding, I won't deduct your money, but there are conditions."

"How to do?"

"Let me tell you." He suddenly grabbed the unruly little hand and leaned closer.

In a daze, Hua Zuoyi felt that the space in front of her was instantly smaller, and CQ's wild handsome face was enlarged enough to support her sight. She closed her eyes reflexively, and a touch of soft warmth quickly passed over her lips.

As if she didn't want to finish it, she licked it like a cat. It was sweet, just like the rum that everyone drank together just now.

That small bite almost licked his heart, his chest was so violent that even the blood all over his body itched uncomfortably.He wanted to test her cunningly, but in the end he found out his sincerity.

God knows how hard it took Chu Qing to stop himself from kissing Fangze again.She is his treasure, the treasure he guards, and she cannot be disturbed at this moment.

Speaking of disturbance, Hua Zuoyi didn't seem to feel it at all.

"Hey, wake up." Chu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.After being kissed by someone, there is a woman who can fall asleep so confidently and defenselessly.Does she have nerves, does she have the consciousness of being a woman? !
Seeing Hua Zuoyi sleeping like a baby on the large leather sofa of the SUV with peace of mind, Chu Qing smiled wryly and wiped his face, how much she trusted him.

Time has indeed changed a lot of things, and he still remembers the first time he saw Hua Zuoyi.At that time, she looked very tired, but she was extremely hard and very clear about what she wanted to do, neither relying on anyone nor trusting anyone.

"I want to find a stable job, with more money and less work, close to home!"

Chu Qing looked at the woman in front of him. She looked so thin, as if she had escaped from Africa, and there was a hint of firmness in her eyes. Compared with those dreamers with lofty aspirations, she seemed to have been tumbling in the melting pot of society for a long time , the color fades away.

"Miss Hua, there is nothing so good."

"Then satisfy the latter two, and the dispatch company must pay the highest percentage of family medical allowance for me." She didn't even blink, she just looked at him straight, seeing through him.

Chu Qing couldn't help laughing, picked up her job application form, and pointed to the blank skill column.

"Voyage is not a charity. People who don't know any skills can't get good jobs."

"I can deal with debts, liquidate property, and deal with dismissal, but none of these have the so-called certificates you want." She said firmly, without seeming frank.

Suddenly, Chu Qing remembered who the person in front of him was. It turned out to be such a young woman who buried the suddenly closed Hua Corporation and made the dozens of employees who lost their jobs suddenly get due compensation.

"With experience like yours, you should have better development if you go to a regular company."

Zoe Hua smiled slightly, "I need a job, I need medical subsidies, but I need my own time more."

At first, Chu Qing only felt that he had found a good client, but it was not until later that he gradually understood her burden, her kindness, and all her past.

There are many great people in the world, and there are many who repay the kindness of a drop of water, but there are really not many people like her who can lift the whole ocean with a thin body like her.In this kind of silent attention, he suddenly realized that it was difficult for him to take his eyes off her.

The plan that was originally intended to be implemented has long been lost in a corner.The last thing he can't lose is her trust.That's fine.

Turning a corner, the community where Hua Zuoyi lives is in front of you, a row of old arcades built up along the hillside.People who live here usually don't have much money, and naturally they don't think about how to drive the car to the door. The SUV stopped at the bottom of the hill.

"Guest, we're here." Chu Qing imitated the taxi driver and knocked on the glass of the car.

Hua Zuoyi was drowsy, tried to open her eyes, opened the door, and nearly fell from the tall SUV in a daze.

"Be careful." Chu Qing stabilized her arm in time.

Hua Zuoyi didn't even look at him, she muttered to herself why the car was so high, and after standing still, she looked down in her bag to find the traffic card.

"Hey, Zoe." Chu Qing wanted to laugh, he really regarded him as a taxi driver, how drunk she was.

Hearing this steady voice, Hua Zuoyi finally raised her head, squinting her eyes to see his outline.

This man is hard to confuse with others, as stable and reliable as a mountain, even in the crowd, he is so bright and eye-catching in the dark.

"Oh, how can there be such a tall taxi driver, you should drive a bus." She put back her wallet.

"Do you want me to take you up?" Chu Qing looked at the woman dangling in front of him with some amusement, and finally helped her steady.

"No thanks."

Hua Zuoyi continued to stagger, bid farewell to CQ, and slowly walked up the stairs.Most of the people living here are poor people, the property fees are cheap, and no one even repairs the damaged street lamps.A gust of cold wind blew, and she shivered. Half drunk and half awake, the dark arcade lay quietly, like a big black snake ready to swallow people into its stomach at any time.

Walking this way home every day, today is extraordinarily deserted and gloomy, maybe because she was too high in the pub just now, she almost forgot her own way, it was like this.

Hua Zuoyi hugged her arms and couldn't help sighing secretly: "It's so dark."

"Pa-ta!" A beam of strong light shone from behind, like a carpet of golden luster, quickly spread under her feet, from bottom to top until the end where the steps connected to the night sky.

At some point, Chu Qing turned the front of the car around and turned on the headlights to illuminate the direction for her to go home.

Hua Zuoyi squinted her eyes and looked back, unable to see clearly the expression of the man sitting in the car.It wasn't until she walked into the corridor that she heard the sound of the car starting the engine and leaving.

He always guarded her behind and never let her down.Sometimes Hua Zuoyi thinks that CQ is a genie living in a magic lamp, as long as she taps on it, she will come out to fulfill all her wishes.

"It turns out that your night life is very busy, no wonder you can't think of our date."

A familiar voice sounded in the darkness, Hua Zuoyi exclaimed and almost fell down the stairs.

Pan Kaichen grabbed her hand accurately and told her to turn around. He just took a step forward, and she retreated to the wall.He stretched out his other hand to press against the wall, and surrounded her from a bird's-eye view.

"As I said, let's talk tonight." Pan Kaichen glanced at the fading car lights outside the staircase window, smelled alcohol in her hair, and couldn't help frowning, "Who did you go out with?"

The man breathed on Hua Zuoyi's face, and Hua Zuoyi, who was a little confused, always felt that it smelled good, and sniffed all the way closer.What to do, she was so sleepy, and he smelled like sleeping in her quilt.

"Friends, have dinner with friends."

Hua Zuoyi was dizzy, she laughed foolishly, shakily pushed him away and turned to open the door.Under the dim light, she held the key in her pocket and groped for a long time but couldn't find the keyhole.Until Pan Kaichen held her trembling hand and helped her open the door in front of her.

"Thank you." With a lazy voice, she looked up at him, and Shi Shiran smiled at him with eyes full of tiny fluorescent lights, "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"

Pan Kaichen's eyes deepened, his arms around her waist tightened, he lowered his head, as if he was about to kiss her, and then pushed away with a look of disgust.

"What flavor..."

The original vomit smell.Hua Zuoyi stuck out her tongue, silently feeling that the round had been won.

Hua Zuoyi's single room is very small, and it is easy to knock down objects when she turns around.It's hard to imagine that the once proud and shining Miss Hua family lived in such a small shabby room for many years.

The alcohol has not passed, she is still swaying happily, and even humming a little tune to make hot cocoa for the guests on the cooking table that is too messy to see the table.

It was only when she turned around that she realized that the man standing upright in front of the bookshelf and wearing an expensive custom-made suit was so out of tune with her messy and small room.It seems to be a cold and beautiful swan, falling in the chicken coop with piles of chicken feathers.

The smile receded, and the eyes that looked at him became cautious.

"Senior, can I ask you something."

Pan Kaichen arranged the messy books one by one according to the categories, took out a handkerchief and wiped his dusty fingers, he straddled his long legs and came to her side over the hills of sundries piled up on the ground, slightly wrinkled Brow seemed dissatisfied with the chaos in front of him.

"What do you want to say?"

"Senior, can you be my boyfriend? You don't need to be real, just pretend."

"pretend?"

He stared at Hua Zuoyi in surprise.The latter shrank his neck, but quickly raised his face to meet him, as if mustering up the greatest courage in his life.

"Yes, it's fine to pretend. My mother's health has just improved. Can the senior cooperate with me to pretend to be my boyfriend and coax her. Just show up every few days."

Pan Kaichen's brows furrowed deeper, his jaw tightened, his eyes darkened, and his entire handsome face became extremely serious.Hua Zuoyi stared at his expression without blinking, holding her breath and waiting.

Just then, her cell phone turned on.
