What! You are willing to spend your youth to talk to me and talk about love. I have lost my youth under the burden of forty years old. - Belang Rui
——
Ruochu changed into a typical workplace beauty when she came to work. As a magazine editor, she didn’t have to dress like other standard white-collar workers. Ruochu was usually happy to be relaxed and casual in denim and T-shirts, but Xiaochuan was not interested in this aspect.
There are never any requirements, so the working style in "Mirror" is very similar to Google, but not as casual or exaggerated.
Ruochu dressed up today for the first time in her life. If it hadn't been for him, if it hadn't been to attract his attention, if it hadn't been to prove to him that she was an adult, she wouldn't have spent any unnecessary thought on it.
, in this regard, she has completely inherited Qin Nan's style and style.
Facts have proved that her approach was not a complete failure but almost ineffective, because Xiaochuan basically didn't pay attention to her that day. Even at the meeting, he just nodded after her speech and didn't say much.
What, he didn't even look at her again, which made Ruochu feel very frustrated.
When she came out of the conference room, she deliberately walked beside him. He almost didn't look at her and went back to his office. Ruochu had no choice but to go back to his office angrily, but he couldn't do anything.
I stared at Xiaochuan's avatar on MSN, and wanted to send him a message several times, even just to talk, but I didn't know what to say, and I was also afraid of being ignored by him again. I finally waited until I was about to get off work, and finally got the courage to do it.
Courage knocked on the door of Xiaochuan's office.
"Is something wrong?" Seeing that it was Ruochu, Xiaochuan's heart moved slightly, but his expression was as usual and much colder than usual. He just said hello and continued to stare at the computer screen with his previous attitude.
They are completely different.
Ruochu hit a soft nail as soon as he entered the door. He was a little embarrassed standing there. He subconsciously wanted to put his hands in the pockets of his jeans. He found that he was wearing a skirt today, so his two unintentional hands had to be twisted together in front of his body.
"Humbert, I just want to ask, will you go to the supermarket with me after get off work?" Before, Xiaochuan would have been very willing, but looking at the current situation, Ruochu was unsure and wanted to find someone. The topic of safety brings us closer to a relationship that has somehow become estranged.
"Oh, I have to work overtime tonight. There is a book to review at the publishing company. You should go back first." Xiaochuan said without raising his head.
Ruochu's hands were held too hard, and the joints were faintly white, "Oh, then you should work first." After saying that, waiting for Xiaochuan to change his mind, Xiaochuan just lowered his head and said "hmm", and Ruochu bit it.
Biting her lip, she turned around and walked out step by step.
"That..." Just when Ruochu was about to walk out, Xiaochuan called her, and Ruochu stopped hastily and turned back expectantly.
"Xiaochuan met Ruochu's eyes, then dodged away, "You don't have to wait for me."
Ruochu's expression immediately darkened and he walked out with a dark face.
Xiaochuan looked at the door where Ruochu's back had disappeared for a long time, and felt his temples begin to jump. This tug-of-war had just begun, and he couldn't stand it any longer. Would he have to order takeout in the office at night from now on?
? I really want to go home right away and make delicious food with her. Isn’t this asking for trouble? Hold on, this is all he can do now.
Ruochu walked out of the building full of thoughts, looking at the crowds of people on the road who were rushing home. Then he looked up at the window of his father's office. He didn't want to leave or stay. By the way, it wasn't like saying no.
Do you want to wait? No, let’s see what he does next?
Ruochu made up his mind and went to the supermarket to buy things first, then went home and cooked a table of dishes and placed them on the dining table. Then he sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV while waiting without using any chopsticks. He was not
Indifferent? Then she would wait and see if he reacted.
Xiaochuan estimated that Ruochu had rested before he came back from the office. After opening the door, he saw Ruochu sitting upright on the sofa with the remote control in his hand. When he saw him come in, he turned off the TV and stood up, "Come back."
Come on, I'll heat up the food." After saying that, he ignored Xiaochuan and walked directly to the kitchen.
Xiaochuan frowned and looked at the wall clock on the wall. It was almost midnight. He wanted to see what Ruochu was up to, so he followed him to the kitchen and frowned when he saw the intact food on the dining table.
Get up, this girl must have not eaten dinner just to wait for him. Her original intention was not to ask her to hurt herself. Wouldn't this make him feel guilty to death?
"Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?" Xiaochuan could hear his anger in his voice because he felt sorry for Ruochu. Ruochu looked at him innocently with his big eyes open, his expression pitiful, and he was about to let go.
I don't know if I should continue to put the container in the microwave, but she actually has no appetite.
Ruochu's appearance made Xiaochuan's already self-blaming mood even worse. "Don't wait for me anymore." He said this coldly, then turned around and went back to his room.
For a long while, Ruochu leaned her body slumped against the operating table, took several deep breaths, and tried her best to hold back the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes. At the same time, all the stubborn cells in her body were activated. Do you want her to give up? That's okay.
It's not her Qin Ruochu.
The next day Xiaochuan forced himself to do the same thing, but Ruochu seemed to be cooperating with him. He got up by himself to do morning exercises. When he came back, he didn't ask to go to work with him. Instead, he just went about his own work. Xiaochuan was a little surprised, but he also
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ruochu had adapted so quickly, but he was a little disappointed.
When it was almost time to get off work, Xiaochuan was restless in the office, waiting for Ruochu to come home to him and then he would reject her. However, there was no movement from Ruochu all day today. If there was official business, he would just send an email coldly. As a result,
Everyone left, and Ruochu didn't come either. Seeing Ruochu's profile picture on MSN dimming, Xiaochuan knew that Ruochu had left, and lit his sixth cigarette today irritably, because Ruochu had prescribed it to him.
There should be no more than five cigarettes a day. Judging from this, the plan should be considered a success, but why is he so upset?
I thought about ordering takeout for dinner, but I gave up because I had no appetite. I looked at the time and rushed back at about the same time as yesterday. I thought that Ruochu would not be waiting for me today, but when I opened the door, I saw that Ruochu was still there.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, just like yesterday, I saw myself coming in, got up and said "I'm going to heat up the food", and then went to the kitchen, as if nothing had happened.
Xiaochuan was so surprised that he forgot that he had just changed his shoe. When he opened the door with his exhausted body and found Ruochu still waiting for him, the flash of joy could not be deceived. Yes,
He was happy, but immediately felt distressed. This meant that the child had once again skipped dinner because of him today. It seemed that the struggle had to continue. He was a bit underestimating the enemy. With this thought in mind, he did not go to the kitchen and went back to his room.
What he said was already said yesterday, and today he wanted to express it in silence.
On the third day, Ruochu was still waiting for him, and Xiaochuan became a little anxious. Was she using self-abuse to retaliate for his indifference?
"Qin Ruochu, let's talk." When Ruochu was about to go to the kitchen to heat food for him, Xiaochuan stopped her and called her by her full name.
Ruochu stopped, then turned around and walked obediently to the sofa.
"Sit down." Xiaochuan said, he sat down, and Ruochu also sat across from him.
"Ruoruo, I..." Xiaochuan was thinking of a suitable opening line.
"Do you have any objections to me?" Ruo Chusheng interrupted him.
"Ah?..." Ruochu's directness surprised Xiaochuan and made him feel passive at the same time.
"Did you meet Rousseau that day?" Every word Ruochu said hit the point directly. This was something she spent several nights trying to figure out, and of course it hit the nail on the head.
Xiaochuan lowered his head to find a cigarette to cover up his panic. He promised Rousseau not to tell Ruochu, but he couldn't lie yet, so he chose to ignore the problem.
"You and Rousseau are perfect for each other." Xiaochuan choked out this sentence after the lighter did not light up for a long time.
"It's impossible for me and Rousseau." Ruochu replied calmly. Xiaochuan's lighter fell to the ground. "Why?" he asked while bending down to pick it up.
"Because I fell in love with someone else." Ruochu said.
Xiaochuan's finger touched the lighter, and he shrank before picking it up. "That's fine, no matter who it is, I wish you the best." He lowered his head and said, but there was a sense of despair in his heart for no reason.
"Why don't you ask me who I am?" Ruochu looked at Xiaochuan's movements calmly. Judging from the momentum, he even had the potential to overwhelm Xiaochuan.
Xiaochuan shook his head and chuckled: "It has nothing to do with me." There was sadness in his voice, and he meant to give up.
"No, it has something to do with you. What if I fall in love with you?" As soon as Ruochu said this, the lighter in Xiaochuan's hand fell to the ground again.
"No, don't talk nonsense." Xiaochuan bent down to pick it up again, but didn't pick it up.
"Humbert, look at me, look into my eyes..." Ruochu stood up and squatted in front of Xiaochuan, catching Xiaochuan's evasive gaze. "Do you think I'm talking nonsense?"
Ruochu's eyes seemed to have a kind of magic power at this moment, tying Xiaochuan's eyes to his own success. Xiaochuan was not a fool. What he saw in his eyes that were so pure that there was no trace of impurity was deep attachment and love.
Desire, how could he not understand it?
"You love me too, right?" Ruochu looked at Xiaochuan and asked softly. Xiaochuan seemed to be confused by those eyes. Just when he was about to nod, he finally regained his senses, "
No..." He suddenly turned his head away and avoided her gaze.
"Don't make jokes like this with Daddy again. Daddy can't stand it." Xiaochuan said coldly, then stood up and prepared to leave the living room.
"Humbert, I haven't finished what I said yet..." Ruochu couldn't help but raise his voice when he saw Xiaochuan was about to leave. Today has come to this, so he might as well say everything.
Xiaochuan stopped.
"I want you to tell me personally that you don't love me..." Ruochu was actually betting, but she was sure.
Xiaochuan's hands clenched into fists unconsciously, and his head felt dizzy. It seemed that he had to give her an answer today, and this answer would affect the lives of two people.
