Chapter 3 The Ambiguity That Cannot Be Cleared Up
Just as I was about to hang up on this suspicious harassing call in anger, a deep male voice suddenly pierced through my ear: "Be my girlfriend!"
但在我的梦中，绝不试图紧紧拥抱你
Chiba then noticed that everyone in the office had left, and half of the lights were off. Only her computer's screensaver was still flashing nearby. She sighed, turned off the computer, locked the cash in the safe, put away the bank ledger, and walked out of the office
"How can this be used for drinking? It is such a waste, this is... an artwork, an artwork!" She chattered on with reproaches, her gaze darting sideways, her eyes sparkling with a charming innocence.
Chiba nervously stepped out of the office building, and as soon as she exited, she felt the biting cold wind. The chilly raindrops, driven by the wind, seeped into her collar. It was the first time in her life that she had seen so much cash. Since leaving the bank counter, she had been particularly tense, her knuckles turning red from gripping the money bag tightly. This scene not only amused the bank staff, but even the company driver, Xiao Chen, noticed her unusual behavior and comforted her, saying, "The first time is always awkward, but you'll get used to it after a few more trips." It was the first time in her life that she had seen so much cash. Since leaving the bank counter, she had been particularly tense, her knuckles turning red from gripping the money bag tightly. This scene not only amused the bank staff, but even the company driver, Xiao Chen, noticed her unusual behavior and comforted her, saying, "The first time is always awkward, but you'll get used to it after a few more trips."
Chiba rented an apartment located on the fourth floor, consisting of one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom, with a gas stove placed on the narrow balcony serving as the kitchen. The apartment, measuring over 30 square meters, although decorated in an outdated and simple manner, fortunately comes fully equipped with all necessary appliances
The handover of work is actually a very tedious and boring task. Xiao Shi took the key and went to a small office next door that was specifically used for storing documents. He pulled out a mountain of bound materials stacked in the cabinet all at once, explaining continuously as he took them out. Qianye's visual and auditory senses were out of sync, and due to lack of sleep and not having had breakfast, her low blood sugar level caused her to feel dizzy and extremely uncomfortable.
Ling Xiangtao was not affected by her indifference and confidently withdrew his hand: "Are you off work? It's getting colder outside, and you seem to be dressed a bit lightly."
With her right hand propping up a tattered umbrella and her left hand clutching a somewhat damp handbag, Chiba bent low, striving to align her gaze with his. The raindrops from the tip of the umbrella cascaded down like a curtain of pearls, and her white clothing, soaked by the rain, transformed into a light brown hue. The wet strands of her hair clung heavily to her body, dripping water droplets from the ends. Her complexion had long turned pale from the cold, yet she still forced a smile.
Chiba's heart sank again; with so much cash left in the company, what if a thief were to cause trouble...
Ivan cast a disdainful glance at her. Although he was sitting in the car, and his line of sight was much lower than hers, Chiba felt that his gaze exuded an overwhelming presence, making her, at the very moment she clearly saw his face, have the impulse to turn around and flee.
Chiba could not discern her ulterior motives. Just as she hesitated and contemplated declining, the little girl had already grabbed her backpack from the sofa and bounced out, saying, "It's settled then, sister, I’m counting on you! Good morning, bye! Sister, bye!" After saying it all in one breath, she brushed past Chiba and hopped out the door like a lively rabbit
Just as she was about to turn into that small alley, a loud "bang" sounded behind her. She instinctively turned her head to look and was startled again—Ivan had actually gotten out of the car and was striding towards her without hesitation, then he grabbed her arm firmly.
Sitting at her desk, Qianye stretched lazily with great satisfaction. Outside, the wind and rain raged, but the incandescent lamp on the table was enough to bring her a warm sense of comfort
There was a buzzing sound on the other end of the phone, and she couldn't hear clearly, so she quickly pressed pause on the video. The room suddenly fell silent, and she asked, "Who is it?"
She almost fled in embarrassment, while he followed her to the door, repeatedly asking with reluctance: "Will Qianye come again next time?"
The strings of the guitar were being plucked by his fingertips, the aroma of coffee wafting through the dim corners of the setting sun. The morning casually crossed its legs, the guitar resting on his lap. He tilted his head, his long bangs obscuring his brows and eyes. In the hazy light, the expression of his slightly squinted eyelids seemed to return to a state of languor.
DA......
The little girl covered her mouth and chuckled softly, then cheerfully gave a push to Qingchen's back: "Hey, sister, can I ask you for a favor?" She blinked her round, sparkling eyes, filled with playful mischief, "I need to go to a classmate's house to ask about the homework, but Grandpa reminded me to stay and keep Qingchen company before he left... Can you help me out for a bit?"
I am from the finance department, Nicole. Facing the hand extended by Ling Xiangtao, Qianye did not reach out to shake it, but simply replied淡淡地.
"Give it a try and see how it tastes."
It is often said that the beauty of women can lead a nation astray, but this is truly the first time she has witnessed the power of male beauty, which is by no means inferior to that of female beauty
Her face, which had long been frozen white, flushed red as she stammered, "I am truly sorry..."
In the depths of memory, I recalled that face with a complex expression, a high nose bridge adorned with a pair of deep black-framed glasses, the lenses speckled with raindrops, yet he did not seem in a hurry to wipe them clean—originally, according to her expectations, he should have been a man with a cleanliness that bordered on obsession.
After a busy morning hastily completing the handover work, the temperature dropped sharply in the afternoon, with a difference of more than 10 degrees compared to yesterday. The weather forecast indicates that a cold front will pass through tonight, and the temperature will drop further.
In the early morning, she cheerfully moved the books from the sofa to the coffee table and neatly folded the blanket, draping it over her arm: "You sit, I will go make coffee."
Clang clang.
In the early morning, with a smile and without speaking, I placed the coffee cup in my left hand on the table, spreading my palm open to gesture for use. The coffee and milk inside the cup had already mixed together and filled to the brim, with the liquid in the cup gathering at the edge in a leaf-like pattern.
Really? Thank you. She was so excited that she couldn't wait to try.
In the early morning, he pressed her down onto the sofa and went back to bring two cups of coffee, placing them on the coffee table. Chiba hesitated and said, "I should clean up the kitchen first."
What is this? A horror novel? The cover says "Twilight" ("暮色"), and when she casually flipped it open, it was filled with English text.
那么漫长的日子，你总是在我心中
The car window slowly rose. Seeing that there was nothing more for him to do, Qianye prepared to leave when suddenly two words floated out from inside the car: "Get in!"
不要哭，不会哭，我不会哭
Chiba awkwardly opened her mouth, yet she did not dare to directly call his name. Her eyelids drooped, and she suddenly realized that she was sitting in her seat like a drenched chicken, rubbing a light gray soft plush chair cover until it changed color. She lifted her foot, and her shoes, filled with muddy water, left two dark black footprints on the clean mat.
Chiba stared at a bag of money and asked Xiaoshi in confusion, "What should we do with this 300,000?"
Due to the heavy rain, it was dark and cold outside, and she was too lazy to go out to buy groceries and cook. She dug out a pack of instant noodles from a cardboard box in the corner of the living room, hurriedly boiled a kettle of water, prepared the noodles, and finished eating in just ten minutes
It was evident from his shrewd and capable face that he had something to say, yet Ivan remained silent until she closed the car door. Standing in the rain was truly uncomfortable and cold, and Chiba had no time to think much; he hurried home, struggling under the damaged umbrella.
吻我，告别，太快就走了
On the window-side sofa, there is a stack of books and a crumpled light blue blanket, while on the other side, a single armchair holds a guitar. Qianye is indecisive about where to sit and points to the guitar, saying: "So you can play the guitar."
Chiba was stunned for a few seconds before understanding his meaning: "I have already finished work; I was the last to leave, and there is no one in the finance office..." She then thought that such a statement might deliberately suggest that he was the most diligent and hardworking, so she hurriedly laughed and asked, "Director, do you have something to discuss?" As soon as the words left her mouth, she wished she could slap herself, realizing that she was only making things worse; didn't this make her seem even more sycophantic?
Taking two steps closer in the early morning, I reached out to receive it, then turned to the side: "Come in and have a seat"
The sound of the rain was too noisy, and she faintly seemed to hear these two words, but she did not dare to confirm whether it was indeed these two words, or if Ivan had said nothing at all, and it was merely her own cold-induced hallucination. She hesitated for just a second, then took a step forward and walked briskly towards the bus station
Qianye's face was filled with guilt. In the early morning, he looked down at her; her eyes were watery, and her eyelids were red, as if she might cry at any moment. He smiled, his smile innocent: "Qianye is a good girl"
She was taken aback, not quite understanding the meaning behind his words, but her cheeks automatically flushed under his intense gaze, continuing to heat up.
Brittany returned to the company close to 4 o'clock and convened a brief meeting with the finance department staff at 4:30. During the meeting, in addition to a brief summary of the month's work situation, the most surprising decision was that Brittany assigned Chiba and Shishi, who had been with the company for less than three months, to switch positions, moving from finance assistant to cashier.
She moved her fingers to the mouse, opened the Google webpage, and unconsciously typed "twilight" to search. Soon, words related to "Twilight" and "vampires" appeared. The more she looked, the more interested she became. It turned out that this series of novels was not horror-themed, but rather a fantastical story about a wolf falling in love with a sheep, and the first book had already been adapted into a movie
Is Brittany still upstairs? The raindrops drifted in through the car window, splashing onto his lenses
Reluctantly jotting down everything that happened, after organizing it all, she classified and stored it in the cabinet. Xiao Shi handed her the key to the cabinet and, without giving her a moment to breathe, said: "Let's go! Next, we need to check the bank journal; I will settle the cash for you."
不想醒来，发现你不在我身边
Although she had never brewed coffee before and did not understand the difference between cappuccino and latte, it was rare for her to be in a good mood in the morning, and surprisingly, she patiently taught her step by step from the beginning, demonstrating the actions while explaining. Chiba was somewhat clumsy at first, frequently making mistakes in her operations, causing coffee to spill all over the countertop. There were several times she wanted to give up, but Qingchen always smiled and wiped the countertop clean, then persevered and brewed again.
The expression in the early morning was very sincere, showing no signs of ambiguity or improper intentions. However, the cautious Chiba still suppressed her strong curiosity and carefully stood up from the sofa: "No, I should be heading back now. Let's talk again next time if there's an opportunity."
如此遥远，我几乎无法将你占为己有
The depths of the alley remain quiet, with birds occasionally chirping from the tips of the parasol trees. Sparse and low maple trees are planted at the corner of the hutong, their fiery red hues resembling flames. Qianye slowed her pace, hesitating as she walked, and ultimately stopped in front of the cake shop's display window
美丽的面孔环绕，但并不合适
Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed repeatedly, "How is this possible? Is it conjured? Have you studied magic?"
Halfway through the movie, she was captivated by the male lead's enchanting charm, which seemed to radiate a glow. Her phone, resting on the computer desk, rang, and without much thought, she answered it casually: "Hello?"
In the early morning, holding her hand, he led her away from the kitchen. After taking two steps, she turned back to take a look. It was a tragic sight; the kitchen was in complete disarray, with chaos both on and beneath the counter.
如此遥远，我几乎无法将你占为己有
This ... ... I ... ...
This sentence truly makes one's heart race, and Chiba's cheeks flushed with heat. Suddenly, she felt a bit at a loss, her gaze wandering aimlessly, unsure of where to look.
What a stunningly flawless person! Chiba held her breath, dazed and forgot to retract her hand
It is undeniable that the young man before me possesses exceptional looks, outstanding culinary skills, and a remarkable temperament. As he holds the guitar and sings while playing, he emanates an irresistible charm that is difficult for ordinary people to resist.
Xiao Shi spoke lightly, and thus Qian Ye nodded in agreement
Standing and waiting for the elevator, she hummed a tune with a smile. Suddenly, someone gently tapped her on the shoulder, startling her greatly. When she turned around, she saw a young man in his twenties, with a baby face, whose smile was quite friendly, though he looked very unfamiliar.
Do you need a cup of coffee? The morning has found a new topic of conversation.
Her lips turned purple from the cold, and she had no choice but to resign herself to squeezing onto a bus at the station. A black BMW glided silently to her side. She thought it was Ling Xiangtao, who had a penchant for flirting, and wondered how this guy could be so wealthy; could it be that he was driving a company car? Just as she hesitated whether to run to the back of the car to take a closer look at the license plate, the window of the BMW slid down, revealing someone she could never have imagined sitting in the driver's seat.
It should be an apple, right? Chiba steadied herself, and the shocking contrast of colors made her eyes falter, almost leading her to believe that what was cradled in the palm of the hand in the image was a human heart
我确实把我的心给了你，无法否认
I live just upstairs, would Chiba like to come to my room and take a look
Chiba's legs went weak, almost causing him to fall flat on the ground
But the more unfortunate events were yet to come. Before she had walked fifty meters, she heard a loud "whoosh" from above, and her little floral umbrella, unable to withstand the assault, was finally turned inside out by the fierce wind. Chiba stood awkwardly in the rain, hurriedly trying to lower the umbrella, but two of its ribs had already broken. When she attempted to open it again, it looked even more pitiful, making one want to laugh and cry at the same time
Chiba was already astonished, staring at the cup in disbelief. When she looked up again in the morning, her eyes were filled only with profound reverence.
Upon returning to the company, it was already time to leave work. The rain showed no signs of weakening; instead, thunder and lightning intensified. The wind whistled through the cracks in the window, producing a mournful sound. One of the windows in the corridor was not securely closed, and the window frame emitted a clattering sound under the assault of the cold wind. Qianye went to the general manager's office to find someone, only to discover that the boss was not there, reportedly having left early to host an important client.
不想醒来，发现你不在我身边
As soon as she locked the door, she heard laughter coming from the corridor, and surprisingly, there was light spilling out from the marketing department's office. Her gloomy heart suddenly relaxed; in comparison, she considered herself quite fortunate, at least she did not have to work overtime
The store was extremely quiet, and Qianye pressed her dry lips together: "Here, a thermos for you"
如此漫长的日子，你始终在我心中
Just as Chiba was screaming in surprise, the morning once again prepared a cup of milk coffee in the same manner, and then with a small toothpick, it gently stirred a few times at the rim of the cup, causing the pattern on the surface of the coffee to suddenly transform into a little girl with a bow in her hair
He saw Chiba standing in the entrance, blinked his eyes, and then smiled: "Hi, Chiba." His voice was serene, and his smile was as shy and bashful as ever
How cold it truly is, Chiba, who had just returned from outside, was very clear about it. She responded vaguely, and the elevator door opened just in time. She stepped inside, not expecting Ling Xiangtao to follow her in.
The melodious sound of the strings supports a clear and bright voice, casually singing in the early morning, yet it completely electrifies Qianye, as if she has been thoroughly stunned.
坚持，放手，永远不确定
Indeed, he is a talented individual! Once he opened his mouth, he never stopped talking. Qianye thought to herself, he is indeed someone who thrives on verbal communication! If it were her, she would absolutely be unable to engage in such a familiar and endless conversation with a stranger. At first, she thought that his overly youthful face would be a disadvantage in marketing, but now she is completely convinced of the HR department's judgment in hiring.
The little girl seemed quite familiar, and she affectionately took Qianye's hand, saying, "Sister, you are here!"
The gaze in the early morning first dims, but upon hearing the next sentence, it instantly brightens.
那么漫长的日子，你总是在我心中
Waking up, it was already 8:22 in the morning, and Qianye experienced her first true lateness since starting work at the company. Outside, the rain poured heavily; despite her extravagantly hailing a taxi at the street corner, it merely shortened her lateness by a little.
Whether as an assistant or a cashier, the salary and benefits are the same. Qianye does not have much opinion on this; she is just a bit concerned about managing cash as a cashier, as she worries she may find it difficult to adapt. After all, she has become quite proficient in her role as an assistant. Sometimes, changes in work can also be a burden and a hassle
Chiba's eyes flickered, not daring to look him in the eye. She merely lowered her head, pretending to be busy putting on her shoes, and mumbled in response: "I am leaving, goodbye"
不想醒来，发现你不在我身边
The sofa is positioned against a spiral staircase, the steps of which are made of transparent glass. From the ground floor, looking up, the entrance to the second floor seems to exist in the ethereal clouds.
In the early morning, smiling broadly: "It's just ordinary coffee art, not difficult at all. If you like it, I can teach you."
The more he said this, the more uneasy Chiba became: "I really am clumsy. Are you bleeding from your foot? Does the store have any disinfectants like hydrogen peroxide?"
It is unexpected that a big boy who looks so fresh and clean in the morning actually enjoys reading horror novels. Chiba pouted, put down the book, and looked around. The kitchen in the café is open, and through the coffee machine, one can see the busy and upright figure of the morning.
The finance supervisor lectured for more than ten minutes, and before she could make a profound reflection, Brittany's timely appearance saved her: "Xiao Yezi, have you finished the handover with Xiao Shi?"
As she stepped out of the building, a cold wind made her shiver, and her teeth chattered uncontrollably. The rain was quite heavy, and the sky was as dark as midnight, with hardly any pedestrians on the road. She opened her umbrella, hunching her shoulders as she plunged into the rain. The wind was swirling too fiercely for her to control its direction; the umbrella was blown east one moment and west the next, providing little more than a shield for her head, leaving the rest of her body exposed to the rain.
Before leaving, Chiba only wore a white long-sleeve T-shirt with a two-piece set. The fabric was not thick, and sitting in the office did not feel cold. Around three in the afternoon, Xiao Shi received a phone call and suddenly said: "I forgot something. Yesterday, the boss wanted to withdraw 300,000 in cash. I have already informed the bank, but the work has been handed over, so you still need to go and collect it today."
Chiba felt that the look he just gave was excessively innocent, to the point of being almost enchanting. If she hadn't previously thought that Qingchen was a decent person, she would have almost believed that he was intentionally trying to seduce her.
There was no voice on the phone, but upon careful listening, a loud sound of rain could be heard from within. She, puzzled, called out twice more, and finally, in frustration, exclaimed: "You call but don’t say anything, have you hit your head on the door?"
The wind chimes outside the door strike, producing an endless, lingering sound, slowly, slowly transforming into a series of delicate jingles.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." In the early morning, his bare instep was cut by a shard of porcelain that had been splashed up. He retracted his foot, took two steps back, furrowed his brow for a moment, and then smiled again, saying, "I'll take care of it, it's fine, Chiba need not worry."
The door was pushed open from the inside, and a sweet girl with a doll-like face, dressed in a school uniform, jumped out from behind the door, smiling brightly as she said: "Sister, are you off work now?"
Chiba took off her shoes and still carefully tiptoed. She inadvertently caught a glimpse of the morning feet and discovered that he was not even wearing socks, his bare feet resting on the soft felt carpet
She struggled to hold up her broken umbrella, standing by the roadside ready to hail a taxi—taking a taxi to work, taking a taxi home, today’s wages seemed to have all gone to waste. Yet even when she resolutely spent money, there were times when there was money to spend but nowhere to spend it. Cars came and went on the road, and occasionally a taxi passed by, but they were all occupied. After waving her hand for five minutes, she still hadn’t seen a single empty taxi.
You are welcome
Chiba's heart was pounding faster and faster, and as she watched the morning finally put down the guitar, she took a deep breath and barely managed to shift her gaze away from him. But immediately after, he said something that nearly made Chiba, who had just regained her composure, nosebleed.
In the early morning, I was dragged out by a girl, my black hair slightly disheveled, the ends curling up. My childish face had eyes that were weakly squinting, and the corners of my mouth were slightly yawning, exuding a lazy demeanor akin to a satisfied and drowsy cat
但在我的梦中，绝不试图紧紧拥抱你
只能一直假装
The wrist trembled subtly, and Qianye was astonished to discover that as the white liquid filled the cup, it blended with the original brown coffee, ultimately transforming into a wondrous gray-white pattern.
Qian Ye immediately felt a sense of boredom, reluctantly closed the book, and looked at the other three, all from the same series, with a black background and blood-red patterns.
Curious, she downloaded a movie from the internet. Taking advantage of the download time, she quickly finished washing her dirty clothes, then made herself a cup of instant coffee she had bought at the supermarket a few days ago. She turned off the lamp and sat in the dark room, beginning to slowly enjoy the moment
Chiba constantly reminded herself not to be overly surprised by the unusual, yet her heart remained in a state of unease. It was only when she found her car in the parking lot that she felt a slight sense of relief, forcing a smile as she joked, "I just didn't wear enough, I'm freezing."
Chiba lowered her eyelids and let out a soft "mm"
On her way home from work, she felt somewhat dazed, recalling the awkward lunch from noon, the stiff phone call, and the strange looks that emerged in the office when an assistant from headquarters came to ask for her phone in the afternoon. All of these experiences weighed heavily on her already melancholic mood
No need. He picked up the guitar from the sofa, sat down, and casually held the guitar in his arms.
As she turned on the shower, the coldness of her skin met the warm water, resulting in a surprisingly burning sensation. She took a deep breath and gradually sorted through the clarity of thought emerging from the nearly numbing feeling.
Upon opening the door, Qianye immediately turned on the light and closed the door, rushing to the bathroom
The display window still showcases dazzlingly exquisite cakes, with both their shapes and packaging being nothing short of perfect She stood a meter away, gazing blankly at those cakes until the door swung open, causing the wind chime to emit a melodious sound
The place rented in Chiba is relatively far from the company, close to the suburbs, so she usually has to leave an hour early for work and transfer twice. The area is mostly composed of two-story self-built houses and six-story old buildings constructed two to three decades ago, and there are very few local residents living there. Most homeowners have purchased new houses in the city and then rented out the old houses to outsiders working in H City.
The head exploded with a "buzz".
与你在一起，我只需闭上我的眼睛
Chiba responded ambiguously, not paying attention to what he had said at all
The little girl unexpectedly took her hand and led her directly into the cake shop. Standing at the entrance, Chiba felt a mix of embarrassment and a hint of anticipation.
"I am downstairs at your house," he said
The rich aroma of coffee wafted gently through the air, and Qianye took a deep breath before rising to walk over to the coffee machine. In the early morning, she was diligently frothing milk, her left index finger hooked around a coffee cup, the bottom of which held a small amount of brown Italian coffee, while her right hand skillfully poured the frothed milk from the pitcher into the cup
Chiba sat on the sofa and casually picked up a book from the coffee table. The pages were thick, the cover was black, with two fair arms extending, hands clasped together, cradling a bright red apple in the palms.
Chiba thinks that in the future, she must never be alone with this man again; otherwise, with her prowess as a senior member of the beauty association, something significant is bound to happen
Come, don't let your wrist be too stiff, and don't tense your muscles too much... Pay attention to the milk foam...
She raised her eyebrows in confusion
The hostility in Qianye's eyes was already very evident, and Ling Xiangtao took out a set of keys from his pants pocket: "I have a car, I can give you a ride on the way."
"Then hurry up," Brittany urged. "Xiaoshi, please organize all the cash, account books, and reconciliation statements you have on hand, and hand them over to Xiaoye after counting them clearly. Yezi, you should also get familiar with the manager of the company's bank account; if there are any questions you don't understand, make sure to ask Xiaoshi promptly. Do you understand?"
如此遥远，我几乎无法将你占为己有
In a moment of distraction, Chiba accidentally overfilled the cup with milk, causing it to overflow. The scalding coffee burned her fingers, and she instinctively recoiled her arm, instantly releasing the cup, which fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered.
当我醒来时，希望你在我身边
She sighed unconsciously. Realizing she had sighed, she hurriedly shook her damp long hair, dried it, and then found a set of pajamas to put on
The atmosphere is somewhat tense. In such a quiet cake shop, being alone with another person is truly awkward
Just call me Ivan, it is not working hours now, you said it yourself—it's already off duty
"It’s alright, it’s alright, there’s no bleeding, it’s just a red mark," he said, reaching out to stop her from bending down, supporting her arm and pulling her back up.
Without waiting for Qianye to respond, Xiaoshi, who was seated, stood up and said: "No problem, Manager, you can rest assured!"
In the early morning, his eyes were clear, dispelling the drowsiness from moments ago. A row of snow-white, even teeth appeared as he let out a low hum, yet he did not come over to take the thermos. Standing in place, with his hands clasped behind his back, he smiled gently, a round dimple forming on his left cheek.
The Chiba you mentioned...
Xiao Shi saw through her thoughts and smiled as he patted her shoulder: "What a coincidence that would be. I will leave first; you should finish your accounts and leave early as well. Remember to lock the door."
Chiba stood under the fluorescent light, her long hair damp and her face pale from the illumination: "Not yet..." To be honest, she had gotten out of bed with only one thought in mind, to hurry to the company and completely forget the contents of yesterday's meeting.
Chiba was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately recognized her as the girl who had given him chocolate mousse that morning
At this time, making a phone call is futile; the money will definitely not be withdrawn today. Please lock it in the safe.
但在我的梦中，永远不会试图紧紧拥抱你
"Hi, good morning." Chiba's face was even redder than before. Although it was not a big deal, she was so nervous that she kept swallowing her saliva, awkwardly shaking the thermos cup she had been holding in her hand. "I came to return your cup... Thank you for last time."
She will not mishear this voice, and the tone is clearly that of a declarative sentence, not an interrogative one
咖啡，香烟，不是我的风格
Without even asking where she lived, he dared to say it was on the way. The excuses for flirting these days are getting worse and worse. When the elevator stopped on the first floor, Qianye walked out without hesitation: "It's not on the way, thank you."
The narrow corridor downstairs is not suitable for vehicle passage, so Ivan drove her to the intersection one hundred meters away from home. Before getting out of the car, she expressed her gratitude once again.
In the past, there were boys in the class who also played this. At the school anniversary celebration, she had seen senior students from other departments on stage, holding guitars and singing softly, looking quite cool. She wasn't very knowledgeable about whether they played well, but their singing skills could definitely cause internal injuries to the listeners.
"This is the company's car." He lightly reminded her, "Fasten your seatbelt and tell me your home address."
I am new here," he pointed to the marketing department office across the way, "Today is my first day at work. My name is Ling Xiangtao. My father's surname is Ling, my mother's surname is Xiang, the character for Ling is made up of two water radicals, and Xiang means to strive for progress. The character Tao means strategy, so my name combines all of these elements...
Then see you next time He waved his hand, still with a bright smile
Chiba stared at the wet spot on his right shoulder, feeling a pang of sympathy for him. However, she never forgot how she had gotten into the car, so after regaining her composure, she immediately sat up straight and stammered, "Director..."
Good morning! Good morning! The little girl took off her shoes and joyfully ran into the store, stepping on the carpet. The arrangement in the store remained unchanged, and the little girl's voice continued to echo from some corner, "How pleasant it is! You actually fell asleep. Hurry up, the one you mentioned, Qianye, has arrived!"
He opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth, and said with a charming smile: "I am off work too." Seeing Chiba press a layer, he added: "Shall I take you back?"
I will take my leave now Goodbye
With a heavy mind filled with a jumble of thoughts, she took a half-hour bus ride back to her rented room. After hastily having dinner, she lay down early, closing her eyes, her mind swirling with the smiling faces from the morning. Soon after, it began to rain outside, the raindrops pounding against the glass window, making it even harder for her to fall asleep. In a daze, she lost track of time and did not know when she finally drifted off. In her hazy state, she remembered having a dream, though the details were unclear. She only vaguely felt a pair of fair, slender hands incessantly scratching at her, the long nails scratching and scratching, until her heart felt utterly shattered.
That Chiba ... ...
This guitar belongs to Yingying
Get in the car! He didn't bring an umbrella, so he almost dragged her into the passenger seat. By the time he got in, his Armani suit was already soaked by the rain
She is the one who just ran away... Her name is Chen Yuying
It turned out to be the company's car, no wonder there was not a hint of concern. No matter how dirty the company's car was, he didn't have to pay for the cleaning fee. Qianye secretly scorned in her heart, but dared not show the slightest hint on her face, flattering as she reported her home address, and did not forget to express her gratitude profusely
In the early morning, his fingers rested on her wrist, long and slender, with neatly trimmed nails, except for the little finger, which was slightly longer. As he gently held her wrist, the nail of his little finger inadvertently brushed against her palm, sending a strange, delightful tingle straight to her heart
