His high fever lasted until midnight. Fortunately, it was only a momentary cold.
Ruan Qiuqiu's mood was very complicated.
Thinking of the kiss last night, she felt a little awkward when she saw Cheng Jun. But because they both caught a cold and had a fever, there was an indescribable … comical atmosphere in addition to the awkwardness.
Ruan Qiuqiu covered her face.
Other people's relationships were all sweet and sweet. Why were the two of them always making trouble and getting into trouble?
At this time, Cheng Jun came out of the study. He had already changed his clothes. It was a black down jacket, but the sweater inside was light gray. There was a cute little octopus logo on the chest. This wonderful and lively style was definitely not bought by Cheng Jun himself. His aesthetic was almost pure black, white, and gray. There were no patterns or colors. The style was casual and had no distinctive features. It was very, very, very popular.
If it were not for his beautiful face, he would definitely be a very simple and gregarious coder.
"Clothes from the company again?"
"Yes, do you want it?"
"… No."
Cheng Jun asked slowly, "Shall we go?"
"Oh … Okay."
Ruan Qiuqiu coughed, picked up her bag as if nothing had happened, and followed Cheng Jun out of the door. The two sat in the back seat. Ruan Qiuqiu looked down at her phone. Another day had passed. Her Weibo had gained hundreds of thousands of fans. The number of reposts and private messages was about to explode. Ruan Qiuqiu had to set all the notifications to silent.
The driver played soft music. The car window was opened a crack. Ruan Qiuqiu looked out of the window. The cold wind blew on her face.
It was as if everything was reborn overnight. The greenery on both sides of the street added a bit of greenery. The slender saplings stretched their branches and leaves, and the buds were brewing, waiting for spring.
Ruan Qiuqiu took a deep breath and narrowed her eyes.
"It's great. Spring is here again."
When she lived alone, she was most afraid of autumn. Winter was the longest. Now that she lived with Cheng Jun for a long time and encountered many things, she did not pay much attention to the changes in the seasons. Ruan Qiuqiu did not know whether this was a good or bad thing.
Cheng Jun said, "In two weeks, the apricot and cherry blossoms will be blooming. Are you going to the flower show? "
Ruan Qiuqiu was taken aback for a moment before replying with a smile, "Sure."
Speaking of which, the two of them had never had a proper date before. Cheng Jun actually proposed to go out for a walk instead of staying at home. It could be said that this was a very progressive move.
Ruan Qiuqiu looked back and smiled. Her pair of amorous peach blossom eyes curved into a beautiful arc. The ends of her eyes were slightly raised. Her eyes were pitch-black and sparkling, as if there were thousands of stars sleeping in them. Because of her happy mood, they shone with a moving luster.
His gaze fell on her soft, pink lips.
After tasting the marrow, one would crave for more.
Cheng Jun suddenly realized what kind of torment was behind this word.
He held Ruan Qiuqiu's hand. Her fingers were so soft that he could easily hold them in his palm. Under Ruan Qiuqiu's stunned gaze, he slowly moved forward … and then, Ruan Qiuqiu slapped him across the face.
Ruan Qiuqiu was expressionless. "You'll catch a cold. Don't touch me."
The driver in the front row couldn't help but make a very soft sound as if he was trying hard to hold back his laughter. His whole body was like a little doll that had been wound up, making clicking sounds up and down.
Cheng Jun: "…"
Aware of his boss's death stare, the driver silently shut his mouth and adjusted the partition in the middle of the two rows to cover their figures.
Ruan Qiuqiu expressed that she was very vengeful.
This dog of a man didn't touch her because he was afraid of catching a cold, but in order to sink and sink together, he kissed her again. She was still holding a grudge against Cheng Jun's behavior.
Before she forgave him, he wouldn't be able to touch her.
The company elevator door opened. Ruan Qiuqiu stepped out first, and Cheng Jun quietly followed behind. On the way, they bumped into the company's employees, who all nodded carefully.
In less than half an hour, the company's gossips began to circulate among each other.
— — The big boss is a henpecked husband!
— — The lady boss walked in front and didn't even turn her head. She was so cool.
— — Tsk, tsk, tsk. He probably kneeled on the remote control last night.
If Ruan Qiuqiu heard the rumors, she would probably be depressed to death. She was just walking in front of Cheng Jun. How could there be so many strange rumors?
Ruan Qiuqiu entered the office. Cheng Jun naturally followed her, but was stopped by Ruan Qiuqiu at the door.
"What are you doing?"
"Just walking around."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "… Go back to your office."
Cheng Jun demonstrated what it meant to be rooted and not move.
The two were in a stalemate when they heard Tu Nan's voice from afar.
"Want to have dinner together tonight?" This was Tu Nan's inquiry.
"No." This was the little secretary's cold reply.
"I know you're shy. It's okay, I … "
"Boss, this is workplace sexual harassment. Do you need me to explain it to you?"
Tu Nan choked: "…"
The little secretary, who was always by his side, had a cold face. She copied the poisonous tongue she usually used on her competitors to Tu Nan: "Boss, is it because you haven't had a sexual partner for a long time that it's hard for you to release dopamine? Even if you have sperm in your brain, you should be more rational. Don't treat me like those other women who can say whatever they want. I hope you can restrain yourself during work. Otherwise, I'll have to consider the high salary that the headhunter offered me last night. "
Tu Nan was shocked: "A headhunter poached you? The salary is high? I'll give you a raise. It's not a problem! "
The little secretary shook her head: "Although the salary is good, it's not enough to move me."
Tu Nan breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."
"What moved me is that the boss's IQ and EQ are both quite high."
"…"
Tu Nan took a while to react. He was scolded by the little secretary in a roundabout way. His face turned green and white. The secretary glanced at him and left without giving him any face.
Tu Nan: "???"
What dignity did he have as a boss? Even his own secretary could ridicule him. What else could he say?
The place where the two of them were talking was not far from Ruan Qiuqiu's office. Ruan Qiuqiu heard enough, pushed the door open, walked out, and asked: "What's the matter with you?"
Tu Nan was like a fellow townsman meeting a fellow townsman. His eyes were filled with tears. He grabbed Ruan Qiuqiu's arm and pulled her back to the office. As soon as he entered the office, he bumped into his boss who was sitting in the office. Tu Nan was immediately embarrassed. From the moment he entered the office, Cheng Jun's eyes were fixed on Tu Nan's arm where he was holding Ruan Qiuqiu's arm. That gaze reminded Tu Nan of the fear of working overtime.
Tu Nan quickly let go of her hand.
He had already offended the secretary today. If he offended the boss, he would not be able to live.
Ruan Qiuqiu crossed her arms in amusement and asked: "So what were you doing just now?"
Tu Nan said gloomily: "It's just a normal interaction between a man and a woman. No, Sister-in-law, you don't know. I haven't had the chance to tell you yet. Yesterday, I wanted to discuss the specific situation with you, but when I saw you kneeling on the ground crying, I … "
"Okay, okay, please skip this part. Thank you." Ruan Qiuqiu gave a fake smile.
Tu Nan did not realize that he had offended the lady boss.
He touched the top of his head and said: "I found out that my secretary has a crush on me."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "Huh?"
Faced with Ruan Qiuqiu's huge reaction, Tu Nan felt even more wronged: "Sister-in-law, what kind of reaction is this? Did I say anything wrong?"
Ruan Qiuqiu: "… Yes, yes, continue."
"Anyway, I found out that she pays a lot of attention to me. Not only at work, but also in life. Last week, I went on two blind dates. She was not happy and gave me the cold shoulder for more than a day. Also, she would always deliberately attract my attention and then pretend that she doesn't care with a completely opposite attitude. "
Ruan Qiuqiu remembered Tu Nan's two blind dates. He had thrown a negotiation job to his secretary, causing the secretary's plan to take a leave to fail. The little girl's face was full of unhappiness.
Listening to Tu Nan's various "proofs," Ruan Qiuqiu was very sure that this guy had been single for too long and had a kind of paranoia called "when the opposite sex looks at me, I can think of a name for my child with her."
These were all one-sided feelings of Tu Nan.
Ruan Qiuqiu patiently asked: "Then … do you have any concrete evidence? Did she confess to you?"
At this point, Tu Nan's eyes lit up.
"Yes!"
Last time, he was a little tired and fell asleep on his desk for a while. The secretary reminded him that there was a meeting in half an hour, so Tu Nan sat up straight. At this time, he and the secretary looked at each other. He could clearly see that the pair of usually cold eyes actually had a shy smile. She slightly pursed her lips and stopped talking.
"Boss …"
Tu Nan's heart jumped quickly.
"In the end, it was ruined by the phone call. I was so angry. Do you think there was any other reason besides a confession? "
Ruan Qiuqiu: "…"
That day, if she remembered correctly. At that time, she happened to walk out of Cheng Jun's office and bumped into Tu Nan's secretary. The little girl laughed for a long time. Ruan Qiuqiu couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. She looked at the secretary and said while holding back her laughter: "Boss Tu slept for a while. When he sat up, there was a round watch mark on his forehead. He looked very much like Erlang Shen."
Looking at Tu Nan's rippling expression, Ruan Qiuqiu really couldn't bear to expose him.
"These are all one-sided thoughts. If you can't be sure, talking to the secretary like this is sexual harassment. It's an office romance."
Tu Nan looked smug: "She will definitely confess to me."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "Good luck."
Since Tu Nan was here, Ruan Qiuqiu forcefully pushed Cheng Jun to Tu Nan and told the big boss not to stay in her office and disturb her peace. There was still a lot of work to do today. Ruan Qiuqiu was not in the mood to argue with them. At this time, Ruan Qiuqiu suddenly understood how Tu Nan's secretary felt.
When she couldn't stay away, she always wanted to smash the man's head with a hammer!
She didn't know how long Tu Nan could daydream.
Ruan Qiuqiu was rushing to work when the door was pushed open and Elder Meng came in.
Ruan Qiuqiu glanced at him and said: "What's the matter?"
Elder Meng said with a smile: "Today's Qiuqiu is still the diligent Qiuqiu."
"If you have something to say, say it quickly."
"This is for you first. Little girl, when did you get a set of souvenirs? My wife likes it very much and wants to ask you to draw an original draft. "
"Eh? Souvenirs? "
Ruan Qiuqiu looked at Elder Meng blankly. Elder Meng shook a key ring in his hand. It was a small ice sculpture of a heroine. The workmanship was exquisite and vivid. It was about the length of a finger. The souvenirs were announced by Jiacheng officials today. They also posted on Weibo that the clumsy bird flew first.
Ruan Qiuqiu was busy drawing and naturally didn't notice it.
She looked at the small ice sculpture and was surprised and happy. She didn't expect Cheng Jun to make it into a key ring.
Thinking back, Ruan Qiuqiu felt that it was a pity that the ice sculpture stayed for too short a time. Now it would be kept forever. It turned out that Cheng Jun asked her for the photos for this purpose.
She felt warm in her heart and took the key ring and shook it.
"It's so beautiful."
"There's one more thing."
"What?"
"If you have time the day after tomorrow, there will be a small party. They are all colleagues and some of them are my friends. I'll take you to see the world."
Ruan Qiuqiu was flattered: "Is … Is that okay?"
"You just have to remember to dress up nicely." Elder Meng smiled and touched Ruan Qiuqiu's head as if she was his child. "That's so nice. If it weren't for my wife's health, I would also want a daughter. My son is always in a mess. He's not fun at all."
Hearing Elder Meng's description, Ruan Qiuqiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "How can you describe your child as fun? By the way, I'm not young anymore. "
Recently, Ruan Qiuqiu's hair had grown a little long. She tied a small ponytail behind her head with a small rubber band, which made her look more like a young and playful schoolgirl. As a result, when people looked at Ruan Qiuqiu, the big boss in their mind became a rich man with potential special hobbies.
Ruan Qiuqiu was naturally very grateful to be taken to the party by Elder Meng. In this circle, she had no place to stand. It was Elder Meng who took her step by step.
Ruan Qiuqiu said seriously, "Thank you."
"Hey, don't be so polite."
The ice sculpture was hung on Ruan Qiuqiu's mobile phone as a souvenir. The little figure swayed in front of her, which made Ruan Qiuqiu's anger towards Cheng Jun disappear. She thought that Cheng Jun was sometimes a little bit naughty, but he was not without merit. A sincere surprise could move her very much.
Cheng Jun sat on the sofa and glanced at Ruan Qiuqiu's lips with a smile.
It seemed that she was in a good mood when she came back.
Ruan Qiuqiu noticed his gaze and shook the decoration on her mobile phone. "This is your gift to me. Thank you."
She was so happy about such a small thing. Cheng Jun put his hands on the back of his head and looked like he was watching TV. But because of Ruan Qiuqiu's good mood, he also subtly felt a little happier.
He said slowly, "Then when will you give me a gift?"
It was supposed to be her birthday, but he had ruined it.
He had promised to reward him for his performance. The cake was thrown at the scene of the car accident and disappeared.
Cheng Jun asked righteously, but Ruan Qiuqiu said angrily, "I gave you a gift." Although it was just a small gift, she liked the small stones she brought back. She even wore a stone bracelet on her hand.
Cheng Jun: "?"
Ruan Qiuqiu: "…"
Cheng Jun: "???"
Facing his blank gaze, Ruan Qiuqiu sneered and said, "Don't tell me you forgot the small stones I gave you."
Cheng Jun looked like he was trying hard to remember. After a while, he asked hesitantly, "Sheep dung ball?"
"If you say sheep dung ball again, I'm going to get angry. Thank you!"
Your friend Irritable Ruan Qiuqiu is online.
She really couldn't expect this dog of a man to show her what romance was. Ruan Qiuqiu glared at Cheng Jun and began to interrogate him. "The sheep dung ball I gave you … Bah! You didn't throw away the small stones I gave you, did you? "
Cheng Jun looked serious. "Do you need me to look for it?"
Ruan Qiuqiu: "… Why don't you throw it away yourself?"
But it was quite unnecessary to blame Cheng Jun for a small stone. If he threw it away, so be it. Cheng Jun didn't like to wear jewelry. It was natural that he didn't take it to heart. But she still felt a little disappointed. Her feelings were thrown away casually, as if he didn't care about her.
But thinking about it, at that time, Cheng Jun didn't like her. Wasn't it normal to throw her aside casually?
Ruan Qiuqiu comforted herself and was finally comforted.
"Okay." Ruan Qiuqiu stuffed her phone into her pocket. "I'm going to take a shower first."
Outside, there was a muffled thunder and a gust of cold wind. It was estimated that there would be a drizzle in the middle of the night. Recently, because of the weather, Ruan Qiuqiu's wardrobe was a little damp. When it was sunny in a few days, she would dry all the clothes out to dissipate the smell.
The hot water splashed on the tiles. The steam from the hot water evaporated, making people feel hot all over.
Ruan Qiuqiu unbuttoned her clothes and stood under the shower to take a shower. Her soft and white body was dyed with a layer of pink. Her legs were straight and slender, and her body proportions were excellent. What a beautiful bath picture, which could only be appreciated in the mirror.
She put foam on her hair and rubbed it. The fragrance of cherry blossoms was light and not very strong. It smelled very comfortable. Ruan Qiuqiu's mind was full of the small party she would attend the day after tomorrow. How should she dress up?
Should she wear a long dress? … Would it be too deliberate?
Wearing jeans didn't seem very formal.
It seemed that she had to ask Elder Meng how to dress up for the party. Thinking of this, Ruan Qiuqiu raised her head and let the warm water sprinkle on her face. The foam on her hair was like silky cream mousse. It slowly slipped from her hair and dripped on her white and shiny skin.
"Click."
There was a weak sound, like the sound of an electric current being cut off. The warm light in the bathroom was instantly cut off, and it fell into dead darkness.
Ruan Qiuqiu was startled and hurriedly turned off the shower.
There were still foam on her face. She quickly picked up a towel and wiped it. She asked Cheng Jun loudly, "Is there a power outage? What's going on? "
Through the door, Cheng Jun said, "Don't be afraid. The entire community has a power outage."
Ruan Qiuqiu: "…"
It didn't stop earlier or later, but it had to stop when she was in the middle of her shower. The bathroom was dark. Suddenly, the light turned into darkness. It was as if Ruan Qiuqiu was blind. She couldn't see anything.
Ruan Qiuqiu carefully took a step forward and didn't feel where her clothes were.
At this moment, through the frosted glass of the bathroom door, a light suddenly illuminated half of the bathroom, so that Ruan Qiuqiu could see clearly.
Through the door, Cheng Jun's vague and warm voice asked, "Did you see it clearly?"
"Yes!"
Under Cheng Jun's light, Ruan Qiuqiu hurriedly washed the foam off her hair with water. Then, she wiped off the water droplets on her body and changed her clothes. When she walked out of the door, the room was dark. Cheng Jun leaned against the wall, one hand in his pocket, and the other used his phone to light up the room for Ruan Qiuqiu.
Ruan Qiuqiu asked in distress, "When will the power come back?"
Cheng Jun said, "They're trying to save the circuit. It will probably take a few hours."
The houses in the community were relatively old. It was quite normal for the equipment to not work well occasionally. Probably no one would have thought that the boss and lady boss of the Jiacheng would live in a shabby little house that didn't fit in their eyes.
"If there's a power outage, then so be it. But it's so early. I can't sleep. "
Ruan Qiuqiu paused and said, "Why don't we …"
Cheng Jun, who was leaning against the wall, straightened his body, and his eyes lit up.
"Why don't we watch a horror movie? I have it in my notebook. "
Cheng Jun: "…"
