After Being Bent by Reader
Chapter 48
Ever since Xiaoyan exposed the fact that she was writing a novel last time, Xu Chuanchuan has lived in fear every day.She has placed a new order online and bought a keyboard that is said to be ultra-quiet, but the goods have not arrived yet, so she temporarily uses her mobile phone to type.
Although the hand feel is not very good, the advantages of using a mobile phone to code words are quite obvious. You can code while standing, sitting or lying down. As long as there is no interference, you can do it at any time and any place.
In addition to reading novels, Xu Chuanchuan discovered that Xiaoyan and her have a common hobby, which is eating.
The difference is that Xiaoyan's like to eat may have something to do with her still growing body, while Xu Chuanchuan's is simply because...she has a big stomach.
The conscience of lying was still a little uneasy, so Xu Chuanchuan contributed the bag of snacks she bought from the supermarket to eat with Xiao Yan.
Xiaoyan didn't laugh at her for eating too much, but comforted her and said, "It's great that you are like this. No matter how much you eat, you don't gain weight. Others are still envious."
Xu Chuanchuan was very happy to hear this, and said frankly: "Actually, I will still grow flesh. My flesh has grown to the waist, and you can't see it if it is covered by clothes."
Xiaoyan glanced at her waist, then looked at her thin arms and legs, and said, "You always sit and don't exercise, even if you don't eat, you will gain weight."
Xu Chuanchuan shyly said, "You're right."
With salt-baked chicken feet in her mouth, Xiao Yan said casually, "You are not busy these few nights, have you finished writing your thesis?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Xu Chuanchuan's eyes, and he said ambiguously: "Well...it's not every day that you can get jobs."
Xiaoyan wisely didn't ask any more questions, wiped the oil from her mouth, and said, "I'm tired of eating, change to something else."
"Let's eat ice cream."
"Okay, one for each person." There was still a lot of ice cream that Murong Shi helped buy last time. Xiao Yan just opened the refrigerator when something slipped out. She picked it up and looked, "Snail noodles? What is this? "
Xu Chuanchuan looked back and said, "It seems to be a special snack in Guangxi. My sister gave it to me."
Xiaoyan became interested, looked at the packaging bag repeatedly, and asked, "Is it delicious?"
Xu Chuanchuan shrugged: "I don't know. My sister said it was delicious, but I haven't tried it."
There were stars in Xiaoyan's eyes: "Then why don't you eat?"
"Because this thing needs to be boiled to boil, I don't have a pot."
Xu Xiangxiang brought her five packs at once. Xu Chuanchuan thought these things took up space and almost threw them away last time when he moved, but after thinking about it, he couldn't bear it.
Xiaoyan looked at the bag of powder thoughtfully.
As a foodie, Xu Chuanchuan saw through Xiaoyan's thoughts at a glance: "Do you want to eat?"
Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said, "It looks delicious, and there is my favorite bean curd stick in it."
"But we don't have a pot."
Xiaoyan had an idea and said, "I have a solution."
After speaking, he ran out.A few minutes later, Xiaoyan came back with an induction cooker in her hand.
Xu Chuanchuan asked in surprise, "Where did you get it?"
Xiao Yan said with a little complacency: "I asked the sister next door to borrow it. I saw them cooking noodles once."
"Okay you."
Xiaoyan said that she didn't have enough for dinner, but when she saw new things, she was very active, washing pots and boiling water in one go.She put the ingredients into the boiling water one by one according to the instructions, took a deep breath, and said, "Wow—the taste of this sour bamboo shoot is amazing!"
Xu Chuanchuan coughed and said, "Do you think it stinks?"
Xiao Yan took another deep breath, showing a look of enjoyment, and said, "It doesn't smell bad, I like it very much."
Xu Chuanchuan pinched his nose and said in a buzzing voice, "I can't accept this taste, why don't you eat it yourself?"
Xiaoyan looked at the boiling rice noodles in the pot, her eyes widened, "I can't finish two packets."
"I can't finish it... I'll throw it away if I can't finish it, anyway, there's still in the refrigerator." Xu Chuanchuan really couldn't bear the taste, she felt like she was about to suffocate.
Seeing her suffering, Xiao Yan didn't force her anymore.Suddenly thought of something, she rolled her eyes and said, "I'll call her up."
"Who?"
"Miss Murong."
Xu Chuanchuan was startled, and asked, "Has she left yet?"
"It's still early. She's been working overtime during this time. I'll give her a call."
Watching Xiaoyan happily take out her mobile phone to call Murong Shi, Xu Chuanchuan was in a complicated mood for a while.
The call was connected quickly, and Xiaoyan said softly: "Are you hungry after working overtime? Chuan Chuan and I cooked delicious food on it, come up and eat with us... Why do you want me to carry it down? I'm wearing it now." What about pajamas. I'll eat them all if you don't come up...Okay, I'll wait for you. Bye."
Xiaoyan hung up the phone with satisfaction and said, "Actually, she hates sour food the most. She must hate this taste more than you do."
Seeing the mischievous smile on Xiaoyan's face, Xu Chuanchuan didn't understand, so: "Then why did you call her up?"
"Don't waste it." Xiaoyan said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will force her to finish eating if she doesn't want to."
"..." Xu Chuanchuan didn't know how to continue.
Since Murong Shi was going to come up, Xu Chuanchuan felt that she had better avoid it. After all, being a light bulb is not a good thing. She said: "You guys eat, I'll go in and watch the video for a while."
"You really don't eat?"
Xu Chuanchuan smiled: "Well, I'm not hungry, you guys eat."
Xu Chuanchuan entered the room, closed the door, took out his mobile phone and brewed code words.
When Murong Shi came up, there was basically no movement of opening the door, but Xu Chuanchuan heard her complain: "What are you cooking that smells so bad?"
"Come on, come on, it's just cooked, it's delicious." Xiaoyan said cheerfully.
"What is this? Take it away, it stinks to death, I won't eat it."
"This is called sour bamboo shoots, come here, come here, it's very delicious, I'll feed you, ah—"
"..."
The people outside are showing affection, but I have to hold the phone code words bitterly.In such a comparison, Xu Chuanchuan felt that he was simply too miserable.
For some reason, I remembered An Ji's complaint that day, watching, no, listening to other people's sweetness, made her want to fall in love too.
But it's just thinking about it. If you want to talk, you have to find a suitable partner first.
outside the door.
Xiao Yan: "Chuan Chuan seems to be very afraid of you."
Murong Shi remained calm: "Am I scary?"
Xiaoyan stared at her face for a long time, then shook her head: "It's not scary."
"So why is she afraid of me?"
"How would I know."
"It stinks, eat quickly." Murong Shi patted Xiaoyan's head, ignored her complaints, and took a deep look at the closed door.
Xiaoyan "sucked and sucked" eating the rice noodles, and found that Murong Shi was distracted: "What are you looking at?"
Murong Shi looked away, and asked without answering: "Did she tell you anything about me?"
"Who?"
"Xu Chuanchuan."
Xiaoyan thought about it seriously, and said: "No. She seems very unwilling to talk about topics related to you. Last time she mentioned my relationship with you, she didn't say anything. What's the matter?"
"It's nothing."
"The tone is wrong, you seem very disappointed."
Murong Shi pushed her approaching face aside, pretended to be displeased with a stern face: "Kids, don't gossip like this, eat your food well."
"Oh."
While eating, Xiaoyan couldn't stop talking, and said, "The skewers are really good."
Murong Shi snorted coldly: "A pack of rice noodles bought you off? You can't just look at the surface."
Xiao Yan looked at her like a ghost: "That's not what you told me before. It was you who said that Chuan Chuan is kind-hearted and has no intentions, so you are relieved to let me live with her."
"..."
"Chuan Chuan said that her salary is so low."
Murong Shi looked at her with a smile on her face: "You don't even have a salary, so you should sympathize with yourself first."
Xiaoyan choked on her, accidentally choked on chili oil, and coughed violently.She patted her chest, waited for her breathing to stabilize, and said, "It's different, I still have you to raise me. If someone else raises me, Chuan Chuan wouldn't have to work so hard every night, right?" She looked at Xu Chuan Chuan's door .
Murong Shi said lightly: "Everyone thinks differently."
"Ok?"
Murong Shi pondered deeply, and said quietly: "She looks weak on the surface, but in her heart—"
"Go on."
"..." Xiaoyan's pure and innocent big eyes were like a demon mirror, and Murong Shi could not hide from her sight, so she cleared her throat, "It's gone."
Xiao Yan seemed to have discovered something interesting, staring at her face for a moment: "You seem to know Chuan Chuan very well."
Murong Shi's eyes flickered, and she said, "...Anyway, I'm not familiar."
The 20th of every month is the day when the company pays wages uniformly. Everyone is very excited at this time.
Many people have subscribed to the bank's SMS service. When the finance department makes a unified remittance, there is a lot of "ding ding dong dong" in the office, all of which are reminders that the salary has been credited.
Although Xu Chuanchuan's salary is not much, he couldn't help but pick up his phone and glanced at it, only to find that the amount of transfer reminders this month was different from the previous ones, and it was nearly 1000 yuan more.
At first she thought it was because of overtime work, because when she temporarily took over Linda's work last month, she was too busy and forced to stay and work overtime several times.But after careful calculation of the amount, it doesn't match.
Just wondering, I suddenly heard someone in the office quietly asking: "Is your salary right?"
Someone echoed: "My fault, why does it seem to be a few hundred dollars more than last month?"
Another person said, "Mine is the same. It's a few hundred more. Could it be that the finance department made a miscalculation?"
Discussions continued one after another, because of the sudden extra salary, everyone was not in the mood to work.
"Xiao Xu, why are you having fun there alone with your phone in your hands?"
Xiao Xu laughed a few times and said, "I was thinking, if it is true that the finance department made a wrong payment, we will definitely ask us to return the money. This is the first time I have received so much salary. Save the screenshot as a souvenir."
As soon as this remark came out, the others were amused, some said she was stupid, some said she was big-hearted.
But Xu Chuanchuan really thought so in his heart.Although the manuscript fee she received every month was several times higher than her salary, it was the first time she received such a large salary, and she was inevitably a little excited.
At the end of the discussion, someone said solemnly: "Have you ever thought that everyone's salary has increased so much, maybe the company gave us a salary increase?"
Someone immediately retorted: "Think too much, our company is notoriously stingy, and we don't even have New Year's Eve dinner, so you still expect a salary increase?"
The man said again: "Have you forgotten? Did Ms. Murong say at our first group dinner that only the company's performance would increase by [-]%... I forgot the exact amount. Anyway, she said that as long as the company's performance improves, it will Give us a raise."
After he reminded, others also remembered, and a new round of discussion started again.
Until the afternoon, the answer to the mystery was finally revealed.
The finance department sent an email to everyone's mailbox, which explained the reason for the abnormal salary this time. As the colleague said, it was Murong Shi who raised everyone's salary.
At almost the same time, Xiao Yan, who was temporarily taking over Linda's job, sent an email informing all the staff to have dinner on Friday night.
This dinner was the second official dinner organized by the company. Everyone was very happy about the salary increase, and no one was absent that night.
They booked a hall, and Murong Shi stood out from the crowd, holding a glass of wine, and said, "Everyone has worked hard during this time, and the company's performance is obvious to all. In order to thank everyone, and also to fulfill the previous promise, I give everyone I have personally raised my salary. I hope everyone will continue to work hard in the future, and there will be more benefits in the future.”
"Miss Murong is mighty!"
I don't know who yelled, which made everyone laugh.
Murong Shi smiled and said: "This time I won't fool everyone with fruit juice. I am very happy today. I would like to toast everyone."
The temptation of money is still very strong. No matter what you can drink or not, everyone is filled with wine. More than 50 people stand up together, toast, cheer, and drink freely, and the atmosphere reaches a climax all of a sudden.
Xu Chuanchuan sat in an inconspicuous corner, and after drinking a glass of wine, he began to eat food quietly.
It was different from the first dinner party. At that time, almost everyone in the company was dissatisfied with Murong Shi, a vigorous and resolute leader, and even a little afraid.This time, everyone let go of their hands and feet, and some boldly held up their wine glasses to pay homage to Murong Shi alone.Murong Shi unexpectedly didn't refuse, and accepted everything.
The colleague next to him encouraged Xu Chuanchuan to toast together, Xu Chuanchuan shook his head and said he didn't want to join in the fun.She quietly watched waves of people flock to Murong Shi, watched Murong Shi tear off her cold mask and drink the wine that everyone handed her, thinking: "Isn't she afraid of getting drunk?"
Another wave of people retreated, and their eyes suddenly opened up.Across two round tables, Xu Chuanchuan seemed to see Murong Shi looking towards her.She lowered her head hastily.
The atmosphere inside was always upbeat, and Xu Chuanchuan's ears could not stand the noise. Halfway through eating, she got up and went to the bathroom.
She didn't notice that Murong Shi followed her in not long after she went in.So when she came out of the cubicle and saw Murong Shi standing in front of the sink, she was taken aback.
Murong Shi turned her head to look at her, suddenly laughed lightly, and said teasingly, "Did you see a ghost in broad daylight?"
Xu Chuanchuan's face turned hot, and he said in a low voice, "It's dark outside now."
Murong Shi stopped talking, put her hand under the faucet, waited for a long time but no water came out, she said: "Is it broken?"
Xu Chuanchuan came forward to help her turn on the faucet: "This is not induction."
There was a sound of water splashing, and the cold water poured out. Murong Shi exhaled and said, "So that's how it is. Thank you."
"You're welcome." When she got closer, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol, Xu Chuanchuan noticed that her cheeks were reddish, and her usually sharp eyes had become blurred, so she was silent, and said, "Are you drunk? "
"No." Murong Shi cherished words like gold, and moved to the side.
Xu Chuanchuan knew that she was letting herself go, hesitated for a moment, and squeezed some hand sanitizer on her hands.
"Get some for me too." Murong Shi said.
Fortunately, the hand sanitizer could be picked up. After Xu Chuanchuan squeezed the hand sanitizer for her, the two of them washed their hands quietly without looking at each other.
The two finished washing almost at the same time, this time without Murong Shi asking, Xu Chuanchuan consciously helped her pull out a piece of toilet paper.
Murong Shi's eyes were deep, and she glanced at her, and there was no extra words except "thank you".
Although she hid it well, Xu Chuanchuan could still feel Murong Shi's exhaustion, and she said something mysteriously: "You should drink less."
"What did you say?" Murong Shi leaned forward, she didn't know whether the floor was too slippery or she was really drunk, but she couldn't stand still at that moment.
Seeing her body shaking, Xu Chuanchuan stretched out his hand reflexively to help her.Murong Shi's upper body fell into her arms, Xu Chuanchuan was stunned.
Fortunately, Murong Shi quickly pushed her away, lowered her eyes, and said with some annoyance: "Sorry."
Xu Chuanchuan suddenly felt a little hot inside. She looked at the frighteningly high high heels under Murong Shi's feet, and said falteringly, "I... I'd better help you out first."
For some reason, she always felt that as soon as she let go, the chance of Murong Shi falling down would double.
Xu Chuanchuan rested his hand on Murong Shi's arm weakly, watching Murong Shi's expression carefully.Although Murong Shi didn't want to admit it, she knew that Murong Shi was drunk.
Murong Shi breathed lightly, and looked at her for a while, as if thinking about something, after a long time, she gave a compromised "hmm".
When Xu Chuanchuan grabbed her arm tightly, Murong Shi asked abruptly, "Have you been drinking?"
The warm breath with the smell of alcohol sprayed on his face and bare neck. Xu Chuanchuan couldn't help but nodded hurriedly: "I drank... drank a little."
"Let's go out later and I'll have a drink with you."
Xu Chuanchuan was stunned: "Why do you want to drink with me?"
Murong Shi smiled softly, leaned over her ear, and said, "Thank you for helping me take care of Xiao Yan these few days."
"Oh……"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Chuanchuan froze.
Murong Shi broke free from her grip, and at almost the same time, someone pushed the door open and entered. It was a female colleague from the finance department.
"Miss Murong."
"En." The blurred light in Murong Shi's eyes disappeared, and her expression returned to normal.She stood upright, full of vigor, completely different from just now.
Murong Shi glanced at the stunned Xu Chuanchuan for the last time, and then left the bathroom without looking back.
Xu Chuanchuan seemed to have been tapped, and stood there for a long time, not knowing how to react.
Just now, Murong Shi licked her ear...
After going out, Xu Chuanchuan's whole heart was disturbed.She had only eaten a little of the delicious food on the table, and now she lost her appetite and just wanted to leave early.
But just when she picked up her bag and was about to sneak away, Murong Shi appeared with a glass of wine.
"Where are you going?" Murong Shi looked at her with a smile.
Xu Chuanchuan licked his dry lips, not intending to lie, and said, "I want to go back first."
"Then have a drink with me first."
It's just a glass, Xu Chuanchuan is not afraid of getting drunk.She filled herself with wine, picked it up and lightly touched Murong Shi's wine glass, making a "ding".Just as she was about to drink, Murong Shi held down her hand.
Xu Chuanchuan felt baffled.
Murong Shi approached suddenly, Xu Chuanchuan retreated subconsciously.But she forgot that there was a wall behind her, and her figure swayed.
Murong Shi stood still, looked at her intently with her eyes, and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "I treated you like that just now, do you have anything to say?"
Not mentioning that it was okay just now, Xu Chuanchuan blushed and said hoarsely, "What do you mean?"
Murong Shi curled her lips and said, "You've been watching me secretly, I thought you would understand."
Xu Chuanchuan bit her lower lip, met her burning eyes, and said embarrassingly, "That's because... because you licked my ear, I..."
Murong Shi chuckled, and broke her lie with one word: "You have been looking at me before you lick it, do you think I don't know?"
Is it that obvious?
Xu Chuanchuan pretended to be calm: "Don't be too narcissistic."
"It's not that I'm narcissistic, it's that your eyes are too straightforward." Murong Shi reached out and touched her red ears that seemed to be bleeding.
Xu Chuanchuan's body quickly passed through a burst of electricity, slammed her hand off, and stared at her: "What are you doing?"
Murong Shi's expression was innocent: "I didn't think about it, why are you so excited?"
Xu Chuanchuan turned away from the beginning, looked at the silly and sweet Xiaoyan in the crowd, swallowed hard, and said: "I don't know why you did this, you obviously already have Xiaoyan, and you still like that ...to me. Don't you feel sorry for Xiaoyan?"
Murong Shi was very confused: "Xiaoyan? What can I do to her?"
"Isn't she your girlfriend?"
The corner of Murong Shi's mouth twitched: "Who told you that Xiao Yan is my girlfriend?"
Xu Chuanchuan was startled: "Isn't it? Haven't you already..."
"Her name is Murong Yan, she is my younger sister."
"Your sister?"
"Who are you scolding?"
"..." Xu Chuanchuan looked at Xiaoyan, then at the person in front of him, with his mouth wide open, "It doesn't look like that at all."
Murong Shi said helplessly: "It's my cousin, I have my mother's surname."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..."
Xiao Yan is actually Murong Shi's cousin? ? ?This is absolutely beyond Xu Chuanchuan's expectation.Then what was the reason for those strange voices she heard before?
She didn't have time to think, because Murong Shi suddenly held her empty hand.Xu Chuanchuan woke up with a jolt: "You..."
Murong Shi's face got closer and closer, but deliberately kept a distance, and said, "Actually, you don't hate me, do you?"
Xu Chuanchuan couldn't retreat anymore, and she didn't want to make too much noise to attract other people's attention, her body tensed up, her voice trembling: "I don't hate you, but..."
"It's not that you don't have feelings for me." Murong Shi cut her off.
"You, you drank too much."
As if there was nothing she could do about it, Murong Shi sighed heavily, and said, "It's the first time I've had such a crush on someone in my life, and I didn't expect to be rejected."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..."
Murong Shi looked straight into her eyes: "It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, anyway, I already know the answer in your heart now."
Xu Chuanchuan said dryly: "You think too much, I still say the same thing, I don't like women. Can you let go of my hand first?"
On the contrary, Murong Shi held her hand even tighter, and said with a sneer, "Last time you were very angry, but this time you were not. Doesn't that explain the problem?"
Xu Chuanchuan blushed: "That's because...because..."
"Because of what?"
It may be because of drinking, Murong Shi's hands are hot now, her eyes are hot, and even her breath when she speaks is hot.Xu Chuanchuan felt that she was being enveloped by a steam oven, she couldn't bear it all over, she wanted to push Murong Shi away, but her body didn't seem to obey her orders.
The only thing on her body that could move was her eyes, she blinked quickly and found that she had lost the ability to think,
It was only now that Xu Chuanchuan realized that looking up at Murong Shi from such a close distance was such a subtle feeling.Murong Shi looked down at her from top to bottom, her eyes were so deep and focused, as if she was the only one in her eyes...
Xu Chuanchuan knew that it was just her own illusion, but she couldn't say a word to refute.As long as she exerted a little force, she would definitely be able to break free, but she forgot to resist.
Murong Shi gently squeezed her palm.
Xu Chuanchuan shook his head and said firmly, "No, I don't like you."
"really?"
"real."
"Then look me in the eyes and say."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..." She didn't dare to look at it.
Those slender and dark eyes were like a black vortex, deeply sucking her in, she was afraid that she would not be able to get out.
Murong Shi put down the wine glass in her hand, and took hers away by the way.Xu Chuanchuan was momentarily stunned, but he didn't make a sound to stop him.
Murong Shi touched her shoulder, glanced at the people around her, and lowered her voice: "How about we take a test?"
"What test?"
Murong Shi pondered for a while, and said: "If I kiss you now, if you feel disgusted, just push me away. If you don't feel disgusted, it proves that you also have a good impression of me."
"!!!" Xu Chuanchuan pushed her away, "Impossible!!! There are so many people here!!!"
"Then... shall we change places?"
Xu Chuanchuan: "..." That's not the point, is it?
Although the hand feel is not very good, the advantages of using a mobile phone to code words are quite obvious. You can code while standing, sitting or lying down. As long as there is no interference, you can do it at any time and any place.
In addition to reading novels, Xu Chuanchuan discovered that Xiaoyan and her have a common hobby, which is eating.
The difference is that Xiaoyan's like to eat may have something to do with her still growing body, while Xu Chuanchuan's is simply because...she has a big stomach.

Xu Chuanchuan was very happy to hear this, and said frankly: "Actually, I will still grow flesh. My flesh has grown to the waist, and you can't see it if it is covered by clothes."
Xiaoyan glanced at her waist, then looked at her thin arms and legs, and said, "You always sit and don't exercise, even if you don't eat, you will gain weight."
Xu Chuanchuan shyly said, "You're right."
With salt-baked chicken feet in her mouth, Xiao Yan said casually, "You are not busy these few nights, have you finished writing your thesis?"
A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Xu Chuanchuan's eyes, and he said ambiguously: "Well...it's not every day that you can get jobs."
Xiaoyan wisely didn't ask any more questions, wiped the oil from her mouth, and said, "I'm tired of eating, change to something else."
"Let's eat ice cream."
"Okay, one for each person." There was still a lot of ice cream that Murong Shi helped buy last time. Xiao Yan just opened the refrigerator when something slipped out. She picked it up and looked, "Snail noodles? What is this? "
Xu Chuanchuan looked back and said, "It seems to be a special snack in Guangxi. My sister gave it to me."

Xu Chuanchuan asked in surprise, "Where did you get it?"
Xiao Yan said with a little complacency: "I asked the sister next door to borrow it. I saw them cooking noodles once."
"Okay you."
Xiaoyan said that she didn't have enough for dinner, but when she saw new things, she was very active, washing pots and boiling water in one go.She put the ingredients into the boiling water one by one according to the instructions, took a deep breath, and said, "Wow—the taste of this sour bamboo shoot is amazing!"
Xu Chuanchuan coughed and said, "Do you think it stinks?"
Xiao Yan took another deep breath, showing a look of enjoyment, and said, "It doesn't smell bad, I like it very much."

"Who?"
"Miss Murong."
Xu Chuanchuan was startled, and asked, "Has she left yet?"
"It's still early. She's been working overtime during this time. I'll give her a call."
Watching Xiaoyan happily take out her mobile phone to call Murong Shi, Xu Chuanchuan was in a complicated mood for a while.
The call was connected quickly, and Xiaoyan said softly: "Are you hungry after working overtime? Chuan Chuan and I cooked delicious food on it, come up and eat with us... Why do you want me to carry it down? I'm wearing it now." What about pajamas. I'll eat them all if you don't come up...Okay, I'll wait for you. Bye."
Xiaoyan hung up the phone with satisfaction and said, "Actually, she hates sour food the most. She must hate this taste more than you do."
Seeing the mischievous smile on Xiaoyan's face, Xu Chuanchuan didn't understand, so: "Then why did you call her up?"
"Don't waste it." Xiaoyan said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will force her to finish eating if she doesn't want to."
"..." Xu Chuanchuan didn't know how to continue.
Since Murong Shi was going to come up, Xu Chuanchuan felt that she had better avoid it. After all, being a light bulb is not a good thing. She said: "You guys eat, I'll go in and watch the video for a while."
"You really don't eat?"
Xu Chuanchuan smiled: "Well, I'm not hungry, you guys eat."
Xu Chuanchuan entered the room, closed the door, took out his mobile phone and brewed code words.
When Murong Shi came up, there was basically no movement of opening the door, but Xu Chuanchuan heard her complain: "What are you cooking that smells so bad?"
"Come on, come on, it's just cooked, it's delicious." Xiaoyan said cheerfully.
"What is this? Take it away, it stinks to death, I won't eat it."
"This is called sour bamboo shoots, come here, come here, it's very delicious, I'll feed you, ah—"
"..."
The people outside are showing affection, but I have to hold the phone code words bitterly.In such a comparison, Xu Chuanchuan felt that he was simply too miserable.

outside the door.
Xiao Yan: "Chuan Chuan seems to be very afraid of you."
Murong Shi remained calm: "Am I scary?"
Xiaoyan stared at her face for a long time, then shook her head: "It's not scary."
"So why is she afraid of me?"
"How would I know."
"It stinks, eat quickly." Murong Shi patted Xiaoyan's head, ignored her complaints, and took a deep look at the closed door.
Xiaoyan "sucked and sucked" eating the rice noodles, and found that Murong Shi was distracted: "What are you looking at?"
Murong Shi looked away, and asked without answering: "Did she tell you anything about me?"
"Who?"
"Xu Chuanchuan."
Xiaoyan thought about it seriously, and said: "No. She seems very unwilling to talk about topics related to you. Last time she mentioned my relationship with you, she didn't say anything. What's the matter?"
"It's nothing."
"The tone is wrong, you seem very disappointed."
Murong Shi pushed her approaching face aside, pretended to be displeased with a stern face: "Kids, don't gossip like this, eat your food well."
"Oh."
While eating, Xiaoyan couldn't stop talking, and said, "The skewers are really good."
Murong Shi snorted coldly: "A pack of rice noodles bought you off? You can't just look at the surface."
Xiao Yan looked at her like a ghost: "That's not what you told me before. It was you who said that Chuan Chuan is kind-hearted and has no intentions, so you are relieved to let me live with her."
"..."
"Chuan Chuan said that her salary is so low."
Murong Shi looked at her with a smile on her face: "You don't even have a salary, so you should sympathize with yourself first."
Xiaoyan choked on her, accidentally choked on chili oil, and coughed violently.She patted her chest, waited for her breathing to stabilize, and said, "It's different, I still have you to raise me. If someone else raises me, Chuan Chuan wouldn't have to work so hard every night, right?" She looked at Xu Chuan Chuan's door .
Murong Shi said lightly: "Everyone thinks differently."
"Ok?"
Murong Shi pondered deeply, and said quietly: "She looks weak on the surface, but in her heart—"
"Go on."
"..." Xiaoyan's pure and innocent big eyes were like a demon mirror, and Murong Shi could not hide from her sight, so she cleared her throat, "It's gone."
Xiao Yan seemed to have discovered something interesting, staring at her face for a moment: "You seem to know Chuan Chuan very well."
Murong Shi's eyes flickered, and she said, "...Anyway, I'm not familiar."
The 20th of every month is the day when the company pays wages uniformly. Everyone is very excited at this time.
Many people have subscribed to the bank's SMS service. When the finance department makes a unified remittance, there is a lot of "ding ding dong dong" in the office, all of which are reminders that the salary has been credited.
Although Xu Chuanchuan's salary is not much, he couldn't help but pick up his phone and glanced at it, only to find that the amount of transfer reminders this month was different from the previous ones, and it was nearly 1000 yuan more.
At first she thought it was because of overtime work, because when she temporarily took over Linda's work last month, she was too busy and forced to stay and work overtime several times.But after careful calculation of the amount, it doesn't match.
Just wondering, I suddenly heard someone in the office quietly asking: "Is your salary right?"
Someone echoed: "My fault, why does it seem to be a few hundred dollars more than last month?"
Another person said, "Mine is the same. It's a few hundred more. Could it be that the finance department made a miscalculation?"
Discussions continued one after another, because of the sudden extra salary, everyone was not in the mood to work.
"Xiao Xu, why are you having fun there alone with your phone in your hands?"
Xiao Xu laughed a few times and said, "I was thinking, if it is true that the finance department made a wrong payment, we will definitely ask us to return the money. This is the first time I have received so much salary. Save the screenshot as a souvenir."
As soon as this remark came out, the others were amused, some said she was stupid, some said she was big-hearted.
But Xu Chuanchuan really thought so in his heart.Although the manuscript fee she received every month was several times higher than her salary, it was the first time she received such a large salary, and she was inevitably a little excited.
At the end of the discussion, someone said solemnly: "Have you ever thought that everyone's salary has increased so much, maybe the company gave us a salary increase?"
Someone immediately retorted: "Think too much, our company is notoriously stingy, and we don't even have New Year's Eve dinner, so you still expect a salary increase?"
The man said again: "Have you forgotten? Did Ms. Murong say at our first group dinner that only the company's performance would increase by [-]%... I forgot the exact amount. Anyway, she said that as long as the company's performance improves, it will Give us a raise."
After he reminded, others also remembered, and a new round of discussion started again.
Until the afternoon, the answer to the mystery was finally revealed.
The finance department sent an email to everyone's mailbox, which explained the reason for the abnormal salary this time. As the colleague said, it was Murong Shi who raised everyone's salary.
At almost the same time, Xiao Yan, who was temporarily taking over Linda's job, sent an email informing all the staff to have dinner on Friday night.
This dinner was the second official dinner organized by the company. Everyone was very happy about the salary increase, and no one was absent that night.
They booked a hall, and Murong Shi stood out from the crowd, holding a glass of wine, and said, "Everyone has worked hard during this time, and the company's performance is obvious to all. In order to thank everyone, and also to fulfill the previous promise, I give everyone I have personally raised my salary. I hope everyone will continue to work hard in the future, and there will be more benefits in the future.”
"Miss Murong is mighty!"
I don't know who yelled, which made everyone laugh.
Murong Shi smiled and said: "This time I won't fool everyone with fruit juice. I am very happy today. I would like to toast everyone."
The temptation of money is still very strong. No matter what you can drink or not, everyone is filled with wine. More than 50 people stand up together, toast, cheer, and drink freely, and the atmosphere reaches a climax all of a sudden.
Xu Chuanchuan sat in an inconspicuous corner, and after drinking a glass of wine, he began to eat food quietly.
It was different from the first dinner party. At that time, almost everyone in the company was dissatisfied with Murong Shi, a vigorous and resolute leader, and even a little afraid.This time, everyone let go of their hands and feet, and some boldly held up their wine glasses to pay homage to Murong Shi alone.Murong Shi unexpectedly didn't refuse, and accepted everything.
The colleague next to him encouraged Xu Chuanchuan to toast together, Xu Chuanchuan shook his head and said he didn't want to join in the fun.She quietly watched waves of people flock to Murong Shi, watched Murong Shi tear off her cold mask and drink the wine that everyone handed her, thinking: "Isn't she afraid of getting drunk?"
Another wave of people retreated, and their eyes suddenly opened up.Across two round tables, Xu Chuanchuan seemed to see Murong Shi looking towards her.She lowered her head hastily.
The atmosphere inside was always upbeat, and Xu Chuanchuan's ears could not stand the noise. Halfway through eating, she got up and went to the bathroom.
She didn't notice that Murong Shi followed her in not long after she went in.So when she came out of the cubicle and saw Murong Shi standing in front of the sink, she was taken aback.
Murong Shi turned her head to look at her, suddenly laughed lightly, and said teasingly, "Did you see a ghost in broad daylight?"
Xu Chuanchuan's face turned hot, and he said in a low voice, "It's dark outside now."
Murong Shi stopped talking, put her hand under the faucet, waited for a long time but no water came out, she said: "Is it broken?"
Xu Chuanchuan came forward to help her turn on the faucet: "This is not induction."
There was a sound of water splashing, and the cold water poured out. Murong Shi exhaled and said, "So that's how it is. Thank you."
"You're welcome." When she got closer, she smelled a strong smell of alcohol, Xu Chuanchuan noticed that her cheeks were reddish, and her usually sharp eyes had become blurred, so she was silent, and said, "Are you drunk? "
"No." Murong Shi cherished words like gold, and moved to the side.
Xu Chuanchuan knew that she was letting herself go, hesitated for a moment, and squeezed some hand sanitizer on her hands.
"Get some for me too." Murong Shi said.
Fortunately, the hand sanitizer could be picked up. After Xu Chuanchuan squeezed the hand sanitizer for her, the two of them washed their hands quietly without looking at each other.
The two finished washing almost at the same time, this time without Murong Shi asking, Xu Chuanchuan consciously helped her pull out a piece of toilet paper.
Murong Shi's eyes were deep, and she glanced at her, and there was no extra words except "thank you".
Although she hid it well, Xu Chuanchuan could still feel Murong Shi's exhaustion, and she said something mysteriously: "You should drink less."
"What did you say?" Murong Shi leaned forward, she didn't know whether the floor was too slippery or she was really drunk, but she couldn't stand still at that moment.
Seeing her body shaking, Xu Chuanchuan stretched out his hand reflexively to help her.Murong Shi's upper body fell into her arms, Xu Chuanchuan was stunned.
Fortunately, Murong Shi quickly pushed her away, lowered her eyes, and said with some annoyance: "Sorry."
Xu Chuanchuan suddenly felt a little hot inside. She looked at the frighteningly high high heels under Murong Shi's feet, and said falteringly, "I... I'd better help you out first."
For some reason, she always felt that as soon as she let go, the chance of Murong Shi falling down would double.
Xu Chuanchuan rested his hand on Murong Shi's arm weakly, watching Murong Shi's expression carefully.Although Murong Shi didn't want to admit it, she knew that Murong Shi was drunk.
Murong Shi breathed lightly, and looked at her for a while, as if thinking about something, after a long time, she gave a compromised "hmm".
When Xu Chuanchuan grabbed her arm tightly, Murong Shi asked abruptly, "Have you been drinking?"
The warm breath with the smell of alcohol sprayed on his face and bare neck. Xu Chuanchuan couldn't help but nodded hurriedly: "I drank... drank a little."
"Let's go out later and I'll have a drink with you."
Xu Chuanchuan was stunned: "Why do you want to drink with me?"
Murong Shi smiled softly, leaned over her ear, and said, "Thank you for helping me take care of Xiao Yan these few days."
"Oh……"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Chuanchuan froze.
Murong Shi broke free from her grip, and at almost the same time, someone pushed the door open and entered. It was a female colleague from the finance department.
"Miss Murong."
"En." The blurred light in Murong Shi's eyes disappeared, and her expression returned to normal.She stood upright, full of vigor, completely different from just now.
Murong Shi glanced at the stunned Xu Chuanchuan for the last time, and then left the bathroom without looking back.
Xu Chuanchuan seemed to have been tapped, and stood there for a long time, not knowing how to react.
Just now, Murong Shi licked her ear...
After going out, Xu Chuanchuan's whole heart was disturbed.She had only eaten a little of the delicious food on the table, and now she lost her appetite and just wanted to leave early.
But just when she picked up her bag and was about to sneak away, Murong Shi appeared with a glass of wine.
"Where are you going?" Murong Shi looked at her with a smile.
Xu Chuanchuan licked his dry lips, not intending to lie, and said, "I want to go back first."
"Then have a drink with me first."
It's just a glass, Xu Chuanchuan is not afraid of getting drunk.She filled herself with wine, picked it up and lightly touched Murong Shi's wine glass, making a "ding".Just as she was about to drink, Murong Shi held down her hand.
Xu Chuanchuan felt baffled.
Murong Shi approached suddenly, Xu Chuanchuan retreated subconsciously.But she forgot that there was a wall behind her, and her figure swayed.
Murong Shi stood still, looked at her intently with her eyes, and asked in a voice that only two people could hear: "I treated you like that just now, do you have anything to say?"
Not mentioning that it was okay just now, Xu Chuanchuan blushed and said hoarsely, "What do you mean?"
Murong Shi curled her lips and said, "You've been watching me secretly, I thought you would understand."
Xu Chuanchuan bit her lower lip, met her burning eyes, and said embarrassingly, "That's because... because you licked my ear, I..."
Murong Shi chuckled, and broke her lie with one word: "You have been looking at me before you lick it, do you think I don't know?"
Is it that obvious?
Xu Chuanchuan pretended to be calm: "Don't be too narcissistic."
"It's not that I'm narcissistic, it's that your eyes are too straightforward." Murong Shi reached out and touched her red ears that seemed to be bleeding.
Xu Chuanchuan's body quickly passed through a burst of electricity, slammed her hand off, and stared at her: "What are you doing?"
Murong Shi's expression was innocent: "I didn't think about it, why are you so excited?"
Xu Chuanchuan turned away from the beginning, looked at the silly and sweet Xiaoyan in the crowd, swallowed hard, and said: "I don't know why you did this, you obviously already have Xiaoyan, and you still like that ...to me. Don't you feel sorry for Xiaoyan?"
Murong Shi was very confused: "Xiaoyan? What can I do to her?"
"Isn't she your girlfriend?"
The corner of Murong Shi's mouth twitched: "Who told you that Xiao Yan is my girlfriend?"
Xu Chuanchuan was startled: "Isn't it? Haven't you already..."
"Her name is Murong Yan, she is my younger sister."
"Your sister?"
"Who are you scolding?"
"..." Xu Chuanchuan looked at Xiaoyan, then at the person in front of him, with his mouth wide open, "It doesn't look like that at all."
Murong Shi said helplessly: "It's my cousin, I have my mother's surname."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..."
Xiao Yan is actually Murong Shi's cousin? ? ?This is absolutely beyond Xu Chuanchuan's expectation.Then what was the reason for those strange voices she heard before?
She didn't have time to think, because Murong Shi suddenly held her empty hand.Xu Chuanchuan woke up with a jolt: "You..."
Murong Shi's face got closer and closer, but deliberately kept a distance, and said, "Actually, you don't hate me, do you?"
Xu Chuanchuan couldn't retreat anymore, and she didn't want to make too much noise to attract other people's attention, her body tensed up, her voice trembling: "I don't hate you, but..."
"It's not that you don't have feelings for me." Murong Shi cut her off.
"You, you drank too much."
As if there was nothing she could do about it, Murong Shi sighed heavily, and said, "It's the first time I've had such a crush on someone in my life, and I didn't expect to be rejected."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..."
Murong Shi looked straight into her eyes: "It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, anyway, I already know the answer in your heart now."
Xu Chuanchuan said dryly: "You think too much, I still say the same thing, I don't like women. Can you let go of my hand first?"
On the contrary, Murong Shi held her hand even tighter, and said with a sneer, "Last time you were very angry, but this time you were not. Doesn't that explain the problem?"
Xu Chuanchuan blushed: "That's because...because..."
"Because of what?"
It may be because of drinking, Murong Shi's hands are hot now, her eyes are hot, and even her breath when she speaks is hot.Xu Chuanchuan felt that she was being enveloped by a steam oven, she couldn't bear it all over, she wanted to push Murong Shi away, but her body didn't seem to obey her orders.
The only thing on her body that could move was her eyes, she blinked quickly and found that she had lost the ability to think,
It was only now that Xu Chuanchuan realized that looking up at Murong Shi from such a close distance was such a subtle feeling.Murong Shi looked down at her from top to bottom, her eyes were so deep and focused, as if she was the only one in her eyes...
Xu Chuanchuan knew that it was just her own illusion, but she couldn't say a word to refute.As long as she exerted a little force, she would definitely be able to break free, but she forgot to resist.
Murong Shi gently squeezed her palm.
Xu Chuanchuan shook his head and said firmly, "No, I don't like you."
"really?"
"real."
"Then look me in the eyes and say."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..." She didn't dare to look at it.
Those slender and dark eyes were like a black vortex, deeply sucking her in, she was afraid that she would not be able to get out.
Murong Shi put down the wine glass in her hand, and took hers away by the way.Xu Chuanchuan was momentarily stunned, but he didn't make a sound to stop him.
Murong Shi touched her shoulder, glanced at the people around her, and lowered her voice: "How about we take a test?"
"What test?"
Murong Shi pondered for a while, and said: "If I kiss you now, if you feel disgusted, just push me away. If you don't feel disgusted, it proves that you also have a good impression of me."
"!!!" Xu Chuanchuan pushed her away, "Impossible!!! There are so many people here!!!"
"Then... shall we change places?"
Xu Chuanchuan: "..." That's not the point, is it?
