In memory, you smiling

Chapter 7 I am at the same height as you, looking up at the starry sky (1)
Everyone has a dream, and after hard work, the best time is when the results are reaped.

Being called a "fat senior" when he was a child really humiliated Pan Kaichen.His current figure and successful career are all carved out by the knife of perseverance.He literally made himself into a completely different person.He didn’t go to Korea for plastic surgery, he didn’t go to Ninth Hospital for liposuction, he didn’t drink slimming tea, and he didn’t do acupuncture. What he fights is perseverance and energy. He controls the amount of each meal, does not eat sweets and only drinks coffee, and insists on exercising Will, life is meticulous.Why doesn't this kind of person become an athlete, why doesn't he go on an expedition to Antarctica?He has to be the elite of society by her side, always pointing out her as the culprit.

Hua Zuoyi's nerves are tense every day, and her life is trembling. She is always worried that the fat senior will suddenly target her and ruin the cooperative relationship between Huanyu and SI.

Unexpectedly, Pan Kaichen did not bother her again as he said, and even rarely looked at her.Therefore, her courage gradually grew, and she left every day when the time came.The detour from Huanyu to Mother's Sanatorium is a long way, the sooner you get out, the better.

That night, it was already ten o'clock when I came back from the nursing home where my mother was, and the bus back to the city always passed an open park.At this point, there are few activities around the park, and even the square aunt has gone home after work.But she can always see someone jogging in the park recently.

In the first few days, she didn't pay attention to that person, but later she heard a passenger living nearby comment that she saw that person running around the park for two full hours every morning and evening, he must be from the national track and field team or something. I was a little curious, every time the bus approached, I couldn't help but look out the window, I felt more and more like someone.

But how can he have so much time to run every day?Isn't that guy a workaholic!
Hua Zuoyi was standing opposite the park, and was suddenly woken up by the cold wind.By accident, I got off the station early, just to confirm whether the person jogging across the road was Pan Kaichen.Whether he is Pan Kaichen or Pan Wilber, does it make a difference to her?
The runner came from a distance. He had obviously been running for two hours, and he was still stepping on every beat with ease. The cold and serious face under the brim of the black hoodie would never make her mistake.

This person looks like this all the time. For others, jogging that relaxes his mind is just a part of self-discipline. Rather than exercising, it is more like an ascetic practicing.

From time to time, women passing by him couldn't help but turn their heads to look at him. Pan Kaichen is indeed the type who can shock others at the first glance. He obviously has a handsome face that is so dark that the sky is dark, but he is always serious without a smile. Indifferent and ascetic temperament.It's just that such a person is extremely difficult to get along with. Just ask the colleagues who work with him and you will know that the reputation of the "cold-blooded and ruthless" big boss is not fake at all.

She admires herself very much. She once bullied people like Pan Kaichen, but she has not been decapitated so far.

Back in the day, Hua Zuoyi once forced the fat seniors to join the long-distance running club.This kind of club where rich people lack interest makes people feel that it is either bitter or tiring. Although the fat senior persisted, he had to give up a week later because of asthma and was hospitalized. As a result, he did not lose weight at all, and because he had been lying in the hospital for two years. Zhou Chang gained weight.How had she made fun of him then?

"Senior, come on! Keep running, at least you can become a healthy fat man!"

Suddenly, as if sensing her gaze, Pan Kaichen slowed down, took off his earphones, and looked across the street.With a shudder, Hua Zuoyi turned into the dark alley behind her with a guilty conscience.

The street lights on both sides of the alley were a little broken, and you couldn't see your fingers in the depths, and only occasionally cats passed by.Hua Zuoyi passed quickly according to memory, and was about to return to the main road, when suddenly she heard a cry for help.

Under the dim light in the alley, two gangsters blocked a thin man at the intersection, and one of them was holding the man's briefcase.The three discovered the appearance of Hua Zuoyi at the same time.

The thin man looked like he was about to faint, and frequently threw begging looks at her.

Hua Zuoyi hurriedly lowered her head, pretending not to see, and planned to slip away from another fork in the road.She doesn't have the money to buy medical insurance and life insurance, so she doesn't want to act bravely after dark.

"Hey, this lady passing by." The gangster posted up, blocking her way.

Hua Zuoyi's heart sank.She can be regarded as someone who has seen big scenes, and she calmly raised the bag in front of her.

"Brother and younger sister are all filial to you."

The gangster looked at her inexplicably. It was the first time in 20 years of professional robbing that he met and cooperated without opening his mouth. Could it be that he was a professional robbed.

The thin man next to him was also dumbfounded. Compared with the lady's calm response, his behavior of threatening death and refusing to submit seemed pretentious.

Hua Zuoyi was also dumbfounded. Just as she was about to obediently hand in her bag, a figure flashed in front of her eyes.The two who were still smirking just now were thrown to the ground in pain.

The visitor was dressed in a black sportswear, his strong figure tightened the fabric on his shoulders, and the shadow of the moonlight fell on the hood, hiding his stern face in the dark night.

"Green, Green Arrow?!"

"Pan, Mr. Pan?!"

The weak chicken man and Hua Zuoyi spoke in unison.The hero turned his head, revealing eyes that were more ferocious than the villains.It seemed that Mr. Pan was in a bad mood right now, and the two couldn't help but take a step back in fright.

The two punks got up from the ground, glanced at each other, took out the switchblade and rushed towards Pan Kaichen—to let this desperate guy understand that the gangster knows martial arts, and no one can stop him.

"Be careful!" Hua Zuoyi exclaimed.

Pan Kaichen kicked beautifully, the knife fell to the ground, and he reached out to grab the wrist of the other person, bent it easily, and punched the two of them down like a martial arts star.

The gangsters who were beaten to the ground again felt like they were going to fall apart, unable to get up again, and could only complain to each other plaintively.

"Every time a woman is robbed, someone will jump out and be a hero to save the beauty."

"That's why I've been robbing weak chicken men recently!"

"Then you still rob that girl."

"Fart, I just want to ask her what time is it! Who knew she would take the initiative to stuff a bag for me."

In a bad mood, Pan Kaichen pointed to the weak chicken man crouching in the corner: "You send these two to the police station. Speed ​​up."

"Yes, sir!"

The thin man stood at attention, and he didn't feel rescued at all.The man in front of him was obviously much hotter than the gangster, he tremblingly supported the gangster whose knees were weak, and disappeared as quickly as possible.

In the dark alley, only Hua Zuoyi and Pan Kaichen were left.Hua Zuoyi keenly felt the air cooled by his presence, and her back felt tense.Even facing the robbers just now, she wasn't that nervous.

"What are you doing so late?"

Pan Kaichen's black eyes were frighteningly bright under the moonlight, and Hua Zuoyi couldn't help shrinking back.

"I'm just... passing by."

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the single woman passed by a remote alley with no probes and street lights, with an appearance of "it can't be wrong to rob me". He followed her all the way, but he was not at ease with her.When she saw that someone was robbing, she was even secretly worried that she would rush forward to teach the gangster a lesson.

When he was a student, because his family was rich and weak, he was always bullied by ruffian seniors in school. Every time Zoe Hua saw them, he would stand up and beat those people away. For a while, he kept guarding with a baseball bat He, the ruffian senior, almost had his leg broken.

So he forgot that the current Hua Zuoyi is different from before, she will no longer do the kind of thing to save the weak for no reason, she has changed a person.

"Mr. Pan, thank you."

"No, I'm just returning your favor." Pan Kaichen gave her a cold look, put on his hat, turned and left.

Hua Zuoyi didn't think about it, and chased after the tough and straight figure, "Please wait a moment!"

Pan Kaichen turned around in displeasure, frowning like Xiaoshan.

"What?"

"I lost my wallet and have no money to ride in the car, can you lend me some cash?" So she just handed the handbag to the robber so generously, because there was nothing valuable in it.

Under Pan Kaichen's long and indifferent gaze, Hua Zuoyi tried her best to show a sincere smile, and just when she thought she was about to be rejected, she heard him say:
"I didn't bring any money."

On purpose!Hua Zuoyi froze, and began to calculate how many hours it would take to walk back.

"However, I can drive you." Pan Kaichen said with his eyes downcast, making it difficult to see his expression at the moment.

He thought to himself, really just worried.

This was the second time she got in Pan Kaichen's luxury car, and the heat turned her frozen face back to blood.There was a man's post-exercise breath in the car. Different from the sweaty smell of other men, the smell from Pan Kaichen's body was always a clear and clean smell.Hua Zuoyi sniffed, and felt that his entire nasal cavity was occupied by his smell, and she became dizzy.

When Pan Kaichen noticed her actions, he lowered the window of the car calmly, and a gust of cold wind rushed in, slapping her awake like a slap in the face.

"It's so cold."

As if he didn't hear her complaint at all, Pan Kaichen stared straight ahead.

It's just a short time since you caught a cold, so don't come back for a second time.

"Mr. Pan, you just sweated after exercising. If you blow the cold wind, you will catch a cold."

"Really?, I thought you hated the smell."

Hua Zuoyi immediately looked at him with a no-nonsense expression.

"Sweating is a good thing."

"It's you who said you hate the feeling that fat people are always wet."

This sentence was indeed said by Hua Zuoyi. At that time, although she had to supervise the fat senior to keep exercising every time, she would never touch him, because the fat man was so cold and wet after sweating that he was disgusting.Unexpectedly, Pan Kaichen has been brooding over her words to this day.

It's really the rhythm of not dying, Hua Zuoyi immediately changed the channel.

"Mr. Pan, are you still insisting on long-distance running?"

The man looked ahead and nodded, not wanting to be distracted at all.

"I didn't expect you to be so busy at work and still have time to exercise. You are really a determined person."

"Yes, so as not to be said to be a fat and stupid son of an aristocratic family who gets something for nothing."

This familiar sentence seems to come from Xiao Hua Xuemei's famous words to wake up the world.Every sentence is thunderous, crackling, can we still communicate well?

After that, Hua Zuoyi was speechless all the way, only occasionally peeking at Pan Kaichen beside her.His appearance in the sweatshirt looked younger and more approachable, if it wasn't for the stern look that was always frowning, maybe she would find it more pleasing to the eye.

"You live here?"

The luxury car was parked in front of a row of dark arcades, and the headlights illuminated the messy aisle ahead. There was a smell of poverty here, a slum where even cats refused to live.Pan Kaichen didn't seem to have expected that Xiaohua Xuemei, the arrogant and domineering rich girl back then, would be reduced to such a situation now.

Hua Zuoyi embarrassedly stepped out of the luxury car, which was incompatible with the poverty of this place.She walked around to the driver's seat and lowered herself down, knocking on the window.

"Thank you for sending me back." Seemingly accustomed to his indifference, Hua Zuoyi continued to say to herself, "Mr. Pan, you have succeeded, and you have performed too well over the years. You don't need to work so hard Prove something to anyone, so stop pushing yourself."

"I do not know what you're talking about."

The man in the car was still as cold as an iceberg.

The gloom of those years was trampled under his feet, and he climbed higher and higher to achieve himself. The family no longer dared to despise him as the second son, and the elder brother who was the successor trusted his choice more and more.But that's not enough, he won't pass up the chance to challenge the whole world that has laughed at him in the past.Coming to the mainland to establish a branch is only the first step for him to cut off the fetters.

Therefore, he didn't dare to relax, he didn't dare to hesitate, and he didn't dare to give any possibility to anyone who tried to drag him down from a high place.Gradually, Pan Kaichen got used to the tense life, and regarded this bowstring-like state as normal.

Pan Kaichen, who obviously has everything, lives such a regular and boring life.He is strict with others, but he is strict with himself.Hua Zuoyi looked at that serious face again and again, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Mr. Pan, you are dissatisfied with your desires."

Hua Zuoyi muttered in a low voice, her gaze like a knife swept over her immediately, and she was taken a step back by him, "No, what I mean is, you are so powerful, why don't you relax once in a while. Look at me, it's so miserable. Not alive, no big deal really. Ha, don't mind me talking nonsense. Good night and thanks for taking me back."

With her hands behind her back, she stepped back cautiously in his silence, and finally turned around and disappeared into the dilapidated arcade.

After a long time, the elite arrogance accumulated with sharpness and shrewdness gradually dissipated. Pan Kaichen looked away, wiped his face wearily, and restarted the car.

The dirty community outside the car window is always dilapidated, and she lives comfortably in such a bad environment, and she can still show a lazy smile.It seems that she doesn't care about many things and doesn't care anymore, so what about him, is he also the page turned by her?
For the first time, Pan Kaichen felt that the new world he was going to build might become boring and lonely without her existence.

For the next few days, nothing happened. Every time I saw Pan Kaichen in Huanyu, Hua Zuoyi was reasonable and restrained, a full-fledged employer-employee relationship.On the other hand, Pan Kaichen hardly looked at her, he was still the cold-blooded, cruel and ignorant big boss.He probably forgot what he said inexplicably that night.

Compared with Pan Kaichen, Huanyu's employees are all nice. Sometimes, seeing that the decoration work is late, they would ask the expatriate Hua Zuoyi if they want to order takeaway together.Hua Zuoyi usually does not participate, she always leaves work on time to visit her mother in the nursing home, and at most orders dinner for the technicians.

"Miss SI, do you want to order takeaway?" Oda from downstairs came to her.

However, she was in no hurry to leave today.Now the rain outside is like a waterfall, and lightning strikes from time to time. The distance between Huanyu and the minibus stop is enough to drench her into a drenched chicken.

After skimming through the dinner order, Hua Zuoyi found that Pan Kaichen's name did not appear on it.She remembered that the secretary, Ms. Wang, once said:
"Dinner? The boss doesn't need to think about it. He won't eat takeaway with us ordinary people. The boss only drinks black coffee for dinner. Maybe his blood is also black."

It hurts just thinking about it.He only drinks black coffee, never eats sweets, is self-controlled and self-disciplined, and lives like an ascetic, with almost no other hobbies, only indestructible mental power.He was like a bowstring that was always taut, frightening those who stood before him and worried those who stood behind him.He is living in a state of masochism.

Just thinking about it, Hua Zuoyi saw the man again.

After get off work, the office floor of Huanyu Building was a little dark because there were still some unfinished decorations.Pan Kaichen's tall and straight back stood in front of the glass curtain wall, but it seemed to be shrouded in twilight, making people unable to look away.

Suddenly, Hua Zuoyi remembered the gossip about those female employees of Huanyu just now.

"Stern and handsome guys are my favourites. They are not only stylish but also safe. Once you get your hands on them, other women won't be able to pry them off. And can you imagine that such a serious man will take off the mask of indifference to you one day? , kissing you passionately and saying I love you, what a sense of conquest and refreshing..."

"Then go and try."

"No, as long as the boss glares at me, how dare I say anything."

"Yes, there is still a difference between cold and cold."

If Pan Kaichen knew that he was a fantasy object that the female employees loved and feared, he would probably just scoff at him.This man is always so serious.

Therefore, now that he could see his frown into a Sichuan character from the not-so-clear reflection of the glass, Hua Zuoyi didn't feel that something was wrong. She was about to turn around and walk away immediately, but she heard a bang, which wasn't too loud.

Pan Kaichen's forehead hit the glass.He arched his back slightly, stroked his abdomen with his right hand, and rubbed it again and again.

Hua Zuoyi is too familiar with the pain in that position.Before my mother dealt with my father's debts for a long time, she often suffered from stomach pains due to excessive nervousness, and later got stomach ulcers.People are always in a tense state and there are bound to be problems. At first it is the stomach, and then there will be more serious places.

For some reason, Hua Zuoyi couldn't help walking towards the terrifying big devil.
