star river in my dream

After leaving the office building, Yang Cheng, Zhang Qingqing, and Jiang Xunze stood together at the bus stop and waited for the bus.

He watched Chen Zizhen coming on a motorcycle from a distance, stopped by the side of the road, took off his helmet, looked at Zhang Qingqing and said.

"Shall we go, Qingqing?"

Chen Zizhen greeted Yang Cheng with a nod and a smile.

"Chengcheng, then I'll go first."

"alright, bye."

Yang Cheng said goodbye to Zhang Qingqing, and Jiang Xunze fanned the flames, highlighting his importance.

"See, who is the best for you? It's not me, Jiang Xunze, at the critical moment!"

"Stop being so talkative, why don't you go first, I can get home by bus."

"I have to protect you."

"How old am I, do I still need your protection?"

While the two were talking, a car slowly pulled up to the side of the road, with Li Xinghe under the window.

"I'll take you?"

Yang Cheng looked around at the people in his company and quickly refused.

"No, you go first."

The people next to them talked a lot, talking about the two of them.

"Isn't this Yang Cheng from our department? How did she know Li Xinghe?"

"Maybe a friend."

"Don't be boyfriend and girlfriend, I'm still waiting to be his girlfriend."

"Who isn't? He already said that he doesn't have a girlfriend, so Yang Cheng and the two probably know each other at most. Li Xinghe is such a good character, he will definitely help her if he sees someone he knows."

Yang Cheng couldn't bear the comments from the people around him, so he looked aside, trying to reduce his sense of existence.He reached out and grabbed Jiang Xunze's arm again, and said to the person opposite.
"I'm going back with my friend, you go quickly."

Li Xinghe looked at the man's actions with a smile, probably guessed what he was thinking, so he had to take a step first.

"Then... I'll go first."

"alright, bye."

Jiang Xunze looked at his arm, and smiled contentedly, with a childlike smile on his face.

"Chengcheng, this is the first time you have taken the initiative to hug me."

Hearing what he said, Yang Cheng let go of his hand in disgust.

"Don't worry, there will be no next time."

"Don't, keep holding me."

Jiang Xunze took her hand up again, put it on his arm, and waited foolishly for the car coming from afar.

"Are you still comfortable in the company?"

"Ah."

"Has anyone bullied you?"

"No."

"Will they keep calling you?"

"will not."

"That…"

"Jiang Xunze, can you stop talking?"

Yang Cheng couldn't bear his temper anymore, and he, who was always talkative, was insignificant in front of Jiang Xunze.

"Oh."

"Don't you come to see me off next time? We're not on the way, so we'll save you trouble."

"I'm not worried about you."

"How old I am, I won't talk anymore, I'm leaving."

Yang Cheng got off the bus and walked towards the community.Jiang Xunze poked his head out of the window and shouted at her.

"Hey, Chengcheng, you haven't visited my house for a long time, my mother misses you."

"I'll be there."

"Then you have a good rest, I'm leaving!"

As I said before, Yang Cheng and Jiang Xunze have baby relatives.Jiang Xunze's family likes Yang Cheng very much, and she often visits her home.However, there were fewer opportunities to meet each other later, and I only went to see it during the holidays.Jiang's mother felt sorry for her as a girl living alone outside, and treated her like her own daughter.

"came back?"

"Ah."

"I cooked, let's eat."

"Thank you, I don't have an appetite, so I won't eat."

Yang Cheng collapsed on the sofa, he didn't want to do anything, he just wanted to lie quietly.

"What's wrong with you? Work is not going well."

"No, you don't have to worry about me."

Li Xinghe stood by and watched for a while, seeing that she didn't respond, he quietly went back to the dining table to eat, and carefully left a portion in the microwave.

"If you're hungry, warm up the food, and I'll go to rest first."

"it is good."

Lin Yang called, and when he came up, he first asked if the work was okay and if he was comfortable.

Lin Yang's voice seemed to have magical powers. Whenever she was tired, hearing his voice would make her feel relaxed and forget her anxiety.

"Lin Yang, I miss you."

Hearing her voice a little crying, I thought something happened to her.

"Are you unwell? Do you want me to see you now?"

"No, I may be too tired, and I want to rest early."

"Then you have to take care of yourself, I'll see you some other day."

"okay."

The two hung up the phone, and Yang Cheng lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling with his head empty.

After about an hour, Yang Cheng suddenly jumped up from the sofa, and the light appeared in his eyes again.

"The day is over, let's continue to work hard tomorrow! There is nothing to be afraid of, I can still survive alone."

Yang Cheng, who had rekindled his confidence, was full of energy. He heated up the food in the microwave oven and devoured it. He also praised Li Xinghe's culinary skills in his heart.

Since the three lived in different places, Yang Cheng didn't have time to eat early in the morning, so he packed up his things and went to the bus stop near the community to wait for the bus.

Just as Yang Cheng sat on the window seat and put on his earphones, looking at the scenery outside the window, a person sat down on his left, and she subconsciously leaned against the window to keep a distance.

A white lunch box was delivered to her eyes, Yang Cheng took off his earphones and turned his head to see that this person turned out to be Li Xinghe, his mouth opened wide in surprise.

"why you?"

"That's right, it's me. You didn't eat in the morning, and there is this morning's meal in it. You can eat some at the company."

Li Xinghe knew that she didn't know how to take care of him, he liked to stay in bed in the morning and didn't like to eat breakfast, and he didn't have time to eat it just now, so he packed it up and handed it to her.

Yang Cheng didn't accept it, and it didn't matter if he didn't.I thought to myself that he and I were just roommates, so why bother him all day long?But Yang Cheng is a "good old man" and he doesn't know how to refuse, whether it's doing things for others or others helping him.

She took the lunch box and put it in her backpack, unable to express her gratitude.

"Don't you have a car? Why do you still take the bus?"

"The car broke down and was sent for repair."

"Oh~"

Then the two fell into silence again, and the car was also silent, surprisingly quiet.

Li Xinghe looked sideways at Yang Cheng beside him, the smile in his eyes deepened, and a gentle and doting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In fact, his car is not broken, he just wants to spend more time with her, watching her silently by her side, and protecting her is also good.

In the morning, Yang Cheng received kind smiles from people around her. She was also very confused. As a newcomer, she didn't communicate with others very much. Why did others look at her like this?

"Hey, Yang Cheng, let's have a meal together at noon today. It's kind of like welcoming you to the company."

Seeing that he was invited, Yang Cheng was also very happy and readily agreed.

"However, can you ask Li Xinghe next door out for a meal? I heard that you have a good relationship, so let's come together."

"Huh? That's not good."

Yang Cheng was a little embarrassed, after all, Yang Cheng couldn't guarantee whether he would agree, and said again.

"But I don't know him very well."

"Our colleagues in the company have seen it. He wanted to drive you after get off work yesterday. You came together again this morning. You must be familiar with each other. It should be easy to have a meal, right?"

"But…"

Yang Cheng's hesitant look made the man lose his patience, and he talked about her with a stern face and a strange tone.

"Don't you think of us as friends? Just ask you for such a thing, and you are not willing to help us."

"No, then I'll ask him."

She didn't want to make the relationship with her colleagues so rigid at the beginning, so she had to try to see if she could ask him out.

And that person's complexion also followed her words, from cloudy to sunny, as expected, his face changed faster than the sky.

"I knew you were kind and considerate, see you after get off work."

Yang Cheng watched them walk away, picked up his phone and sent a message to Li Xinghe.

'Li Xinghe, do you have time?Have lunch together? '

In half a minute, Li Xinghe sent a message.

'You come to the rest area now. '

Seeing the message he sent, Yang Cheng got up from his seat and went straight to the rest area.

"Why do you suddenly have the good intentions to invite me to dinner? You can't ask me out for someone else, can you?"

Yang Cheng was afraid that he would see through his thoughts, so he turned his side to avoid looking at him.

"Just say you're coming or not?"

"Come on, can you not come? You invite me, how can I not go?"

Yang Cheng felt guilty and didn't say anything, after all, he felt that he had sold him out.

"Did you eat breakfast?"

"Eat it, it tastes good."

Yang Cheng said again.

"Li Xinghe, I don't want to trouble you, and I don't want to owe you a favor. Don't make me breakfast in the future."

"Why did you say that suddenly?"

"No, I'm just not used to being treated well by others. After a long time, I will take it for granted that you treat me well. I don't want to be like this."

"you're worth it."

"Whether I'm worth it or not, I know myself. I have to go to work, so I'm leaving first, remember to have lunch together at noon."

Looking at her back, Li Xinghe couldn't understand her thinking.While not allowing himself to be nice to her, he invited himself to dinner.

Why does a girl who looks so generous, confident and cheerful suddenly become so sensitive and fickle?He really can't see through her more and more...

After work at noon, Yang Cheng sent Li Xinghe an address, asking him to wait for him there first.

Then Yang Cheng came to the restaurant with three girls.

At a table for four, Li Xinghe took a seat, and the other three girls sat next to and opposite Li Xinghe in turn, while Yang Cheng could only stand and watch in a daze.

"Li Xinghe, hello. I'm from the company next door. My name is Zhao Wan. I've noticed you for a long time. You are really much more handsome than the photo."

"You still have my picture?"

"Yeah, yeah, your picture has been circulated in our company."

Another older woman chimed in again.

"I'm Ye Qing, and I'm also in the HR department. I really like you. You're welcome to lunch today, I invite you."

Li Xinghe smiled slightly, didn't say anything, looked at the opposite person politely, but glanced at Yang Cheng beside him from the corner of his eye.

"Brother Xinghe, I'm the new intern Zheng Lu, nice to meet you."

The girl named Zheng Lu has just graduated, and she is not much different in age from Yang Cheng. She looks gentle and shy but is actually scheming. Otherwise, how can she go smoothly in the circle of the elderly?

"Yang Cheng, don't you still want to have dinner with Zhang Qingqing? As long as we are here, you can go back first."

Ye Qing instructed Yang Cheng to make her wake up, as expected, the relationship between adults is like this, they treat you well in every possible way when they use you, and throw you away like a dog's skin plaster when they don't use you.

"Then I'll go back first."

Yang Cheng complained to Zhang Qingqing about what happened just now. Hearing what she said, Zhang Qingqing slapped the table angrily.

"It's too much! It's obvious that you are used as a cover, why are you so stupid!"

"Oh, I've learned a lot from a pit, I won't do it next time."

"I really didn't expect that Li Xinghe would be a favorite, and would be looted by so many people."

"Actually, others are quite nice, probably because their character is appreciated by them."

"Ah bah, it's clear that he's just looking for sex. Seeing that he's handsome and rich, he's eager to climb up. A group of hypocritical women. The most annoying thing is that they use you. Li Xinghe is not a good person either. , Seeing so many people coming, I didn't refuse, and I was still there with 'one man serving three women', and my appetite was not small."

"Qingqing, stop talking."

"Why can't I say it? Are you still distressed? I just want to say it!"

Yang Cheng tugged at her sleeves, trying to stop her speech, not because of public places, disturbing the environment, but because Li Xinghe was standing behind her, listening to her abuse.

"throat."

"What are you talking about?"

Zhang Qingqing turned around and looked at the person who interrupted her, and she didn't dare to speak for a moment.

"Li...Li Xinghe? Why are you here?"

"Let me hear what you think of me."

"Isn't this a compliment to you? It's a coincidence that you came here. Just now I told Chengcheng how handsome you are and how good your character is, right Chengcheng?"

Li Xinghe nodded while watching Yang Cheng answer.And she also suppressed a smile and nodded.

Zhang Qingqing smiled apologetically, her face full of embarrassment, thinking about how to end it.
