Chapter 16

The evening breeze blew the corner of her clothes. Shen Xingqian in front of her grabbed her hand and said seriously, saying word by word: "Li Zhiyue, I like you, you must be with me."

Li Zhiyue on the bed suddenly opened her eyes. She almost subconsciously sat up, staring at the dim bedroom, unable to come back to her senses for a long time.

She had a dream just now. In the dream, Shen Xingqian took her hand and confessed to her. Her domineering and childish tone was no different from the reality of him.

It was so real that Li Zhiyue woke up directly.

After coming back to his senses, Li Zhiyue turned on the bedside lamp, glanced at the alarm clock at 11 o'clock, Li Zhiyue took off the quilt, got up slowly, walked out of the bedroom, went to the living room to pick up a glass of water, and a cup of warm water seemed to dilute the at a loss in the dream just now.

There was a wind blowing outside again. Li Zhiyue took another glass of water into the bedroom. She pushed open the sliding door of the bedroom and walked to the balcony. Supper blew away the fine sweat from her body. Li Zhiyue held the water cup in both hands and stood on the balcony and looked at the landmark building of City A in the distance.

But my thoughts ran into the dream just now. Li Zhiyue pursed her lips tightly, which was not a good sign.

A little upset, Li Zhiyue entered the house and placed the water cup on the bedside table, opened the drawer, but she didn't expect that there was only an empty cigarette box inside.

She remembered that there were still a few more. Li Zhiyue frowned and closed the drawer. She turned around to go to the living room, but suddenly remembered that the cigarette in the living room had been handed over by Shen Xingqian.

This little bastard.

Li Zhiyue cursed silently, not only disturbing her sleep but also taking her cigarette away.

Without cigarettes, Li Zhiyue picked up the water cup and the phone next to the water cup and returned to the balcony.

A small rattan chair hanging basket was placed on the balcony. Li Zhiyue was nestled in the basket, unlocked her phone, and was about to browse the circle of friends to have fun before going back to sleep.

She clicked on WeChat and found that twenty minutes ago, there were a lot of unread messages in the secretary's group. She clicked in and slid a few times and found that someone was posting photos of the team building today.

The first picture of Li Zhiyue, clicked on the picture, was a group photo of the evening.

After meeting Xue Qingzhou, Shen Xingqian left angrily. Although she didn't know why Shen Xingqian was angry again, the amusement park was not very attractive to her. After Shen Xingqian left, she had nothing to stay.

So she and Shen Xingqian are not here in this group photo.

Li Zhiyue slid a few more pictures, and the one behind them was some photos of everyone during the day, one of which was Shen Xingqian and his figure, with a bad face, and he didn't look at the camera.

Li Zhiyue followed Shen Xingqian's gaze in the photo and happened to see a self who was wiping his palm with his head down and holding a tissue to wipe his palm.

Li Zhiyue subconsciously saw this photo and her heart was thrilled.

She raised her hand and rubbed her heart. I don’t know if she had a dream that was too incredible or if she was too sensitive.

Her thoughts always follow her.

Li Zhiyue sighed and left the work group. Since she was going to follow her, she wouldn't go and see it.

She clicked on her Moments and the latest one was Chu Lu. She posted a photo of crayfish with the words to let everyone eat crayfish together.

She liked it and then slid down a little before she saw this share. She already had many comments from her friends, and Han Yang actually mixed in it.

Li Zhiyue was a little surprised. When did these two people add WeChat?

But this is not something she can control. Li Zhiyue quietly brushed for a while, and her sleepiness came again. She yawned and got up, closing the sliding door.

The phone vibrated.

Chu Lu sent her a message.

[Chu Lu: I'm done with work. When will you have time to come out to get together?

】

Li Zhiyue thought about it. Since Chu Lu first came back, they had a brief gathering. Later, Chu Lu began to follow up on a news report. She was busy going to work every day, and she hadn't had a good gathering yet so far.

It just so happened that she had time tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and Li Zhiyue gave her a reply tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

[Chu Lu: This weekend may not work, I still have to work overtime to submit the report. Next week, it will be the same as the weekend to celebrate your 26th birthday!]

Li Zhiyue was slightly stunned. If Chu Lu hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten that life had passed so quickly, and it was her birthday again.

[Chu Lu: Yes, I know a guy who looks good, comes from a prestigious school, and now he is engaged in the financial industry, his annual salary is good, and his parents are easy to get along with. Do you want to know each other?

】

Li Zhiyue raised her eyebrows lightly. Last time Chu Lu wanted to introduce her boyfriend, but she didn't go that time, but she didn't expect Chu Lu's matchmaker was not in mind yet.

Chu Lu sent another photo. Li Zhiyue clicked on it and saw that the man looked really good. He was gentle and elegant. He wore black-framed glasses and felt a little silly when he smiled.

This kind of appearance is quite popular at the moment, but Li Zhiyue is not very interested and has no plans to fall in love now. She was about to refuse, but Chu Lu sent another message.

[Chu Lu: Baby, don’t rush to refuse. I don’t mean that you have to fall in love with him. I just introduce you to the two of you. You can try to understand it first. If you think it’s OK, then develop it in depth. If you don’t work, just know more friends. You are alone all year round. I can’t be with you when you need it because of work. If there is a reliable person around you, I will feel at ease.

】

I have Shen Xingqian.

Almost subconsciously, these words popped up in Li Zhiyue's mind.

After realizing what he was thinking, Li Zhiyue was completely stunned. Why can’t she get along with Shen Xingqian tonight?

Li Zhiyue knocked on his forehead twice with a headache.

The phone vibrated again.

[Chu Lu: And you have been single for so long, it’s time to fall in love! Otherwise, Shen Xingqian will find a girlfriend by then and you will still be alone, that’s so miserable.

】

Li Zhiyue didn't know which words were poked. After a while of silence, she cleared all the words she refused in the editing box and gave Chu Lu a good word.

Chu Lu returned a cute emoticon and made an appointment to come out for dinner together at noon next Saturday.

Li Zhiyue replied, put her phone in the bedside table, turned off the light, lay on the bed with her eyes open and looked at the ceiling, but she still felt something was wrong.

Turning over, Li Zhiyue closed her eyes.

Forget it, if you can't think of it, you won't think about it. It's shameful to escape, but it's still useful.

No dreams all night.

It was soon another Friday. Shen Xingqian didn't even say anything to her for some reason. Every time he passed by, he pretended that he hadn't seen it, but this also reduced Li Zhiyue a lot of embarrassment.

Since she had that dream, she saw that Shen Xingqian always felt guilty in her heart. Shen Xingqian took the initiative to get away from her, but gave her a space to organize her thoughts.

Li Zhiyue sent Xiaoqi the last document, moved her neck, got up and took a cup of water, sat on the sofa in the tea room for a moment, and soon Xiaoqi came in. He greeted Li Zhiyue, took a glass of water, and sat down.

He said: "There is a business trip next week, and it's a bidding area. The above means going to go and go there. I want to arrange for you to go."

“Bidding?”

Li Zhiyue blinked and Xiao Qi said, "Charity auction, all the money received is handed over to Hope Primary School. The organizer handed over the invitation two days ago, but next week I have to go back to City C. Maybe I don't have time to go there. On weekdays, you have more business trips, so this time I want to arrange for you to go with the finance department."

After several days of running-in, he, the Secretary-General, has become more and more comfortable, and he is not as busy as before when arranging things.

Li Zhiyue had no problem. After thinking about it, she asked again: "Mr. Shen, are you going?"

Xiao Qi shook his head. This auction was actually just a formality. The introduction of the auction items came with the invitation letter. Just hold a meeting with the financial team and discuss the budget.

Li Zhiyue nodded, "Okay, I understand."

Xiao Qi smiled at her, looked at no one around, leaned forward a little, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Zhiyue, I want to ask a question."

Li Zhiyue looked at him, and Xiao Qi continued, "Didn't you and Mr. Shen... have you had a quarrel?"

Li Zhiyue looked at him in confusion, Xiao Qi sat upright and took a deep breath. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell how bad Mr. Shen was in a bad mood this week. After the last time Shen Xingqian said partiality to Wei Zi.

Xiao Qi had already seen it with great happiness in his heart. Mr. Shen must be interested in Sister Zhiyue.

On weekdays, as long as two people appear on the same occasion, he can always observe that Mr. Shen’s gaze is always on Sister Zhiyue.

But this week, Mr. Shen looked a little ignorant of Sister Zhiyue. He guessed that there might be a little conflict, or Mr. Shen’s confession was rejected.

Li Zhiyue's head was spinning quickly, and she opened her eyes wide and replied, "How dare I quarrel with Mr. Shen? Xiao Qi, you can't say this nonsense."

Xiao Qi's gaze stopped on her face with confusion, and Li Zhiyue added sincerely: "I think you may have misunderstood something. Mr. Shen is a good boss, and I admire him very much."

Maybe Li Zhiyue's expression was too innocent and sincere, Xiao Qi grabbed the back of his neck with a little embarrassed: "Ah...then I may have misunderstood."

Li Zhiyue nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back first."

Li Zhiyue got up from the sofa and went out with her cup. Xiao Qi looked at Li Zhiyue's back and whispered.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Shen still had unrequited love.

"A Qiu."

Shen Xingqian rubbed his nose and placed a teacup in front of him. In broad daylight, Han Yang and Wang Pang called him out again, saying that he was celebrating Han Yang getting out of single again.

Shen Xingqian really admires the speed of changing clothes.

He reached out and forked a cherry tomato in the fruit plate with a fork, stuffed it into his mouth, and looked at the person in the cafe downstairs boredly.

He had been sitting here bored for an hour. The two people in front of him were talking sweetly with his new girlfriend, while the other was chatting with his baby.

Shen Xingqian couldn't help but wonder what he was doing today.

Just for a fruit plate in front of you?

Shen Xingqian felt so bored that he was so angry that he might as well read a few more documents in the office if he had known it. Li Zhiyue, who saved him, felt that he was not doing his job all day long.

Thinking of Li Zhiyue again, Shen Xingqian squatted a cherry tomato and stuffed it into his mouth. Before he knew it, the cherry tomatoes in the fruit plate had been stuffed into his mouth by Shen Xingqian.

Han Yang and his newly appointed sweetheart hung up the phone. When he raised his eyes, he saw this scene. Shen Xingqian stuffed cherry tomatoes into his mouth, his cheeks were bulging, like a hamster.
