After eating supper together, we were at the gate of the Ode to Joy community.
After Qu Lianjie got off the car, he asked the girl beside him: "Guan Guan, are you sleepy?"
"I'm not sleepy~" Guan Ju'er was a little confused.
"Then let's take a walk around the area?" Qu Lianjie suggested.
Guan Ju'er thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I just happened to be a little full from the late night snack~"
Then the two took a walk near the community. As they walked, Qu Lianjie naturally held the hand of the girl next to him.
Guan Ju'er seemed to be used to it. This time he wasn't even nervous. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, obviously he was in a good mood.
"Guan Guan, what are your plans for the future?" Qu Lianjie took the initiative to mediate the topic.
Guan Ju'er thought for a moment and replied with a bitter look on his face: "I haven't thought about that much yet. Let's wait until we pass the end-of-year assessment~"
“There are several interns in our department, and I have the lowest academic qualifications. I’m really not sure about the assessment at the end of the year~”
Qu Lianjie couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Have you ever thought about changing to a more relaxed job?"
"That's not true. With my academic qualifications, I can join this Fortune 500 foreign company. My parents don't know how many favors they have relied on. If I just change it like this, I would be a bit sorry for them~" Guan Ju'er replied in a low voice. .
The subsequent chat between the two consisted mostly of Qu Lianjie asking and answering Guan Juer, and she rarely took the initiative to ask questions.
Just walking like this, Guan Ju'er felt a little tired. After all, she didn't exercise much. It wasn't that she was lazy. The key was that she really didn't have time. She worked overtime almost every day, and it was very late after work. I feel so tired that I just want to lie down in bed and sleep.
Although Guan Ju'er felt tired, she was too embarrassed to mention it, so she could only force herself to walk forward. After walking for a few minutes, some sweat even appeared on her forehead.
Qu Lianjie, who was walking forward at this time, also noticed something was wrong, because he felt that the girl's palms were sweaty. He stopped and turned around and saw that she was breathing heavily, and then he understood.
I happened to see a bench not far ahead, and quickly took Guan Ju'er to sit on it.
After the two sat down, Qu Lianjie took out a packet of paper and wiped Guan Ju'er's sweat while complaining distressedly:
"Guan Guan, why didn't you say you were tired? Don't always think about accommodating others, but also think more about yourself, otherwise you will suffer in the future~"
"Oh~" Guan Ju'er nodded obediently, feeling a little sweet in his heart.
Her parents had almost taken care of everything for her since she was a child, and she didn't have to worry about it at all, so she developed a somewhat submissive character and didn't know how to refuse.
In the end, I really felt that Qu Lianjie was a little embarrassed to wipe his sweat, so he muttered: "I can do it myself~"
Qu Lianjie didn't listen to her, and continued to wipe the sweat on his hands, and even said jokingly: "Why, you dislike me, others don't want this kind of treatment!"
"No, I'm just a little embarrassed~" Guan Ju'er whispered shyly.
In fact, when Qu Lianjie was wiping his sweat, he took a closer look and found that Guan Ju'er in front of him was really a treasured girl, because she didn't wear any makeup at all, she could almost be said to be bare-faced.
He had been wiping off the sweat for several minutes, but there was no way Guan Ju'er could wipe away so much sweat. It was just that Qu Lianjie was hesitating about something in his heart.
In the end, he made up his mind, so Qu Lianjie put down the tissue in his hand, held the girl's hand directly, and said sincerely:
"Guan Guan, let's be together~"
"Ah, what did you say?" Guan Ju'er didn't hear something clearly. She was distracted just now.
Because Qu Lianjie was very close when he was wiping his sweat just now. Although they have known each other for a while, it was the second time they met, so Guan Ju'er was still a little nervous.
"I said, let's be together!" Qu Lianjie looked into his sweetheart's eyes and solemnly repeated it.
Now Guan Ju'er heard clearly, her face was at a loss, and her mind went blank all of a sudden. She didn't know what to do. She even felt that her hands and feet were no longer hers, and she was a bit disobedient.
Finally, he bit his lip and forced himself to wake up. He lowered his head and whispered, "This is the second time we meet today~"
Qu Lianjie swallowed nervously. He didn't know what to do now. He had never experienced this before.
Just like this, you looked at me and I looked at you. The two of them looked at each other for more than ten seconds, and the air was filled with the smell of embarrassment.
Qu Lianjie sighed inwardly, feeling that he was indeed a little impulsive today, so he said softly:
"It's okay Guan Guan, you don't have to be embarrassed to refuse, just think I was joking~"
Guan Ju'er didn't speak when he heard this. He didn't know where to put his nervous hands, and his feet in sneakers rubbed the ground uneasily.
After about 20 seconds, he blushed and said in a very low voice: "I didn't say I didn't agree~"
After saying that, he quickly lowered his head shyly.
"Really, do you agree?" Qu Lianjie asked with surprise on his face. He thought it would never happen, but he didn't expect that another village would see a bright future.
At this time, Guan Ju'er also summoned up the courage to raise his head and nodded seriously to Qu Lianjie: "Well, I agree~"
Then the young couple, who had just confirmed their relationship, held hands and faced the night sky, chatting with each other.
…
At the same time, in a newly opened bar, Qu Xiaoxiao was dancing to the loud music with a few friends.
Yao Bin came over and called him aside, handed the phone over, and said with resentment on his face:
"This is the information you asked me to check. I'm kind enough to help you, but you can't harm me."
Qu Xiaoxiao glared at him, then ignored her friend's complaints and took the phone over to look at it carefully.
It turned out that when she went out just now, she happened to see the woman who called the police last night getting out of a Porsche 911 in the underground garage. Thinking of what happened yesterday, Qu Xiaoxiao angrily asked her friend Yao Bin to investigate her.
"Tan Zongming, who is he?" Qu Xiaoxiao asked with a puzzled face. She had just returned to China and didn't know much about domestic affairs.
Upon seeing this, Yao Bin directly made an analogy:
"Do you understand a predator? He's the kind of predator that makes the Huangpu River tremble when he sneezes. And as far as I know, the Tan family is an established family in Shanghai!"
"After Tan Zongming took over, his business now spans all walks of life. Given his status in the Magic City, if he knew that I was secretly investigating him, our family would go bankrupt in minutes!"
"No wonder my neighbor is so powerful. It turns out he has a backer~" Qu Xiaoxiao's words contained a bit of ridicule, and even a bit of contempt. She looked down on Xiao San'er the most.
Yao Bin knew his friend's character, so he couldn't help but warn:
"Sister, please don't mess around. Don't mess with people like this. Don't talk about you and me. Just talk about your brother Qu Lianjie. He must be powerful enough now."
"They are among the top ten outstanding young entrepreneurs in the city. In the eyes of my parents, other people's children are worth billions, but they are still not enough in front of Tan Zongming!"
Seeing his friend's cowardice, Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him and said angrily:
"Brother, it was she who called the police to arrest me, not me who called the police to arrest her. Now I am so focused on inheriting my father's company that I don't even bother to pay attention to her!"
"Don't mention Qu Lianjie in front of me. I get annoyed when I hear this name!"
In fact, she was the one who gave in. After all, although Qu Xiaoxiao was quite venomous and usually playful, she was not a fool and knew who she could and could not provoke.
