"Li Qianwei, I'm downstairs at your house. Come down."
After hanging up the phone, Li Qianwei was excited for a long time. Her messy heart could not calm down. She was a little scared, but also very looking forward to it. This contradiction seriously delayed time.
She patted the clothes on her body, clenched her fists to cheer herself up, let's go, don't keep people waiting.
In the night, Zhu Zirui stood there. His reflection under the street lamp was long and straight. He was wearing a casual down jacket, ginger, and stood there breathing heavily.
Spring started early this year, and the temperature has slowly risen, but it is still very cold at night.
Li Qianwei came out and saw that he was shivering from the cold. She felt a little apologetic and said, "I'm sorry for being so lazy."
Zhu Zirui said: "I see, it will take me twenty minutes to go downstairs, let's go."
Li Qianwei wanted to explain, but when he said let's go and said it so naturally, she didn't speak.
Follow him and walk forward. The night market in front of you is a street for late night snacks. In the summer, it is lively all night long. Now that the weather is cold, there are fewer people coming out for late night snacks, but there are still many shops open.
"Do you eat mutton soup?"
Zhu Zirui suddenly turned around and asked her, and she shook her head, "I don't eat midnight snacks at night?? But I can try it today."
"Haha, it's time for me to reflect. I shouldn't be so anxious to ask you out for a late-night snack." As he said that, he got closer to her face and took a closer look, "Are you still wearing makeup at night? It's because you haven't taken off your makeup during the day.
Or did it change again at night?”
Li Qianwei felt heartbroken. How could she ask, "I applied it at night."
"Oh, it turns out you spend all your time looking at your face."
"??" Li Qianwei was a little embarrassed, but still said frankly: "I'm used to going out to put on makeup, otherwise you will see my wrinkles."
Zhu Zirui smiled happily, "Wrinkles? Do you mean forehead wrinkles?" He raised his eyebrows vigorously, and squeezed out the forehead wrinkles on his forehead.
Li Qianwei chuckled and said, "Don't be ridiculous, okay? Find a place to sit quickly. I'm freezing to death."
I randomly found a late-night snack shop, and there were a few eye-catching words written on the light box at the door - heated private rooms, hot mutton soup.
The two of them sat face to face, looking a little awkward for a moment. They were used to getting along in the company, but they were suddenly not used to being alone in private.
"Minister Zhu, did you go back to your hometown during the Chinese New Year?"
"Yes," Zhu Zirui corrected, "Don't call me that outside the company. You can just call me by my name."
"Zhu Zirui?" I'm so embarrassed, my little heart is beating wildly.
Just when the two of them were extremely embarrassed, the mutton soup was served. The steaming soup and the aroma wafted from it, making people salivate when they smelled it.
After serving mutton soup, there was no such awkwardness between the two of them.
"Wow, such a big bowl, I won't be able to sleep after eating it, and it will definitely weigh two pounds."
"If you can't finish it, you can leave it. To be honest, I can't finish it either. I'm not used to eating at night."
Li Qianwei suddenly understood and asked directly, "Oh, then you are so anxious that you can't wait for the appointment tomorrow?"
Zhu Zirui also smiled sheepishly, "Yeah, I thought you were angry if you didn't reply to my WeChat message."
"Brother, I took a shower. After I came out, I saw the message you sent me. The last sentence said you asked me to have supper."
Zhu Zirui also nodded in realization, "Then you can't wait too much. You readily agreed to my date when I asked you. You've already taken a shower."
Li Qianwei's face was red, and she didn't know whether it was because of embarrassment or because the mutton soup warmed her body.
At this time, the boss enthusiastically recommended to them, "Hey young man, would you like to add a little Yangbian to the soup?"
"Pfft??" The two of them were drinking soup. When they heard this, they spit it out. Zhu Zirui shook his head, "No, thank you."
The boss continued to recommend, strongly recommending, "This sheep whip is the best thing. Women can take it to nourish their beauty, and men can take it to strengthen their virility. It is just right for you."
Zhu Zirui bowed his hands and said, "Boss, thank you, thank you. It's really not necessary. We don't eat much, we just came to have a taste. Thank you."
The boss left disappointed, "Oh, I don't want such a good thing. I really don't know the goods. I'll keep it for myself. What a good thing."
After sitting for a while, they came out and drank some mutton soup. Their whole bodies were warm. Zhu Zirui naturally wanted to send Li Qianwei back. As he was walking, he asked: "You are late when you go back. Are your parents going to do it?"
What will you say?"
"I live alone."
Looking at Zhu Zirui's confused eyes, Li Qianwei explained with a smile, "I didn't tell the truth last time, but this time I am telling the truth. I really live alone. Hey, I'm getting older, and my parents are nagging in my ears all day long.
Can't stand it."
"Are you urging you to get married?"
"Yeah, don't you have this problem?"
Zhu Zirui smiled and continued walking forward, saying as he walked: "My parents are divorced. My mother remarried and had her own family. She never cared about me."
It sounds a bit sad to hear this, "I'm sorry for bringing up your sadness."
"No, this is not a sad thing, it is a fact. My relationship with my mother is very dull. It should be said that my relationship with my family is very dull. I came to the capital when I was a teenager and rarely go back. I think
I will never go back again, so no one will complain about me."
"Oh." Li Qianwei fell silent after hearing this. The street lights illuminated several reflections of them, long and short.
"Li Qianwei." He suddenly called her name, and his voice was particularly gentle in the quiet alley.
"ah?"
"You..." Zhu Zirui looked at her sideways, "Why don't you talk about your boyfriend?"
Li Qianwei was embarrassed again. Could this man know how to chat? She responded with a smile: "You haven't talked about it, haven't you? In the company, I am serious and I have become the Monkey King in the eyes of everyone. There is no man."
You dare to get close to me, but you are serious but you have become the male god in the eyes of all the ladies, and all of them want to lean on you. You don't talk about your girlfriend, which is even weirder than me not talking about my boyfriend, isn't it? "
"I said one thing, and you said ten things to me."
"I...did I say something wrong?"
Zhu Zirui said slowly: "I already have someone in my heart."
Li Qianwei perked up and almost blurted out and asked him, "Is it me?" However, being blown by the cold wind, her mind still had some sense. She smiled and giggled, "Oh? Is he a colleague from the company? Do I know him?"
"What about you?" Zhu Zirui asked without answering.
"ah?"
"I asked you why you haven't talked about your boyfriend. Is it because you have too high standards or your parents are too demanding?"
Li Qianwei scratched her scalp and said awkwardly: "Haha, I've been busy with work, and I haven't thought about talking. The older you get, the less likely you are to be tempted. Besides, if you want to talk, you have to have the right person, right?"
Zhu Zirui asked: "Do you want to talk now?"
"??" Is it okay to ask so directly?! The point is, it doesn't even get to the point, so you can't just ask if you can be my boyfriend?
"Li Qianwei, I'm asking you very seriously, if there is a suitable candidate now, would you be willing to talk about it and give it a try? On the premise of getting married."
Li Qianwei nodded, of course she thought about it, she was also very hurt when her colleagues called her Monkey King behind her back, okay?
"Then do you think I'm suitable?"
"Ah?" I finally said, it's not easy.
After Zhu Zirui finished speaking, he felt embarrassed and deliberately turned his head to look in another direction, "It's just a matter of one sentence whether it's suitable or not."
Maybe it was because the night was so beautiful tonight, or maybe because the aftertaste of the mutton soup was too good, Li Qianwei suddenly took Zhu Zirui's hand and started running quickly.
"Hey, where are you going?"
"My home."
A woman in her thirties is like a wolf, not to mention a woman who has been lonely for many years. Li Qianwei waited for his words for seven full years.
In the dark living room, there was no light, and there were only various sounds, messy footsteps, the tearing of fabric, the rough breathing of men, and the delicate gasping of women.
After all the foreplay was done, at the most critical moment, Zhu Zirui stopped. He gasped for breath and said, "I didn't prepare a condom."
Li Qianwei grabbed his shoulder and was reluctant to let go, even more reluctant to stop. She asked him, "Are you serious?"
"certainly."
"Then let's go register tomorrow!"
"Tomorrow? I didn't buy a ring, I didn't have flowers, I didn't propose."
"No need, I'm not a little girl."
Zhu Zirui kissed her deeply and entered immediately, "Okay, I will register tomorrow and you will give birth to a child for me immediately. I want to be a father, very much."
Li Qianwei closed her eyes and let him play around. She thought, I must be crazy to do such a crazy thing, but if I weren't crazy, we would be old.
——
The next day, Zhu Zirui and Li Qianwei from the planning department were both late, which had never happened before. At about ten o'clock, Li Qianwei came. She was wearing a white sweater with a bright red woolen coat on the outside.
Walking through the office hall very dazzlingly.
You know, among a group of work clothes that are so dark blue that they are almost black, her big red coat stands out!
"What happened today? Did you see it? When Team Leader Li came in, he had a smile on his face."
"Maybe I went out to do errands with Minister Zhu. I just came back from the bathroom and saw them walking out of the elevator together."
Qiao Xinwei was also very curious. Instead of listening to everyone's guesses here, it was better to ask Li Qianwei directly. Just as she was about to go in, the landline rang, "Hello, hello."
"Qiao Xinwei, come to my office."
"Okay." What a coincidence.
In the office, Qiao Xinwei came in. Before she asked anything, Li Qianwei held up a big red book and showed it to her. Qiao Xinwei was stunned for a moment.
"You? Really?"
"It has to be true."
"No way," she quickly took the big red book and took a closer look. Sure enough, it was a freshly issued marriage certificate. "Oh my god, yesterday you said you were making fast progress, so what do you call this? Oh my god, you are so fast.
It’s too fast.”
Li Qianwei stretched out her hand again and dangled the sparkling diamond ring on her finger in front of her, "One carat, much bigger than yours."
"Wow, your speed is really awesome. I admire you so much."
"Haha, don't get excited yet. It's not too late to invite everyone in the office to dinner tonight and then congratulate me."
