one to two

Ai You returned home, leaned quietly on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

For a while, she thought of Zhao Quan's unconcealed liking when he looked at Qi Xin last night, and for a while, she thought of what Qi Yuelai said just now, and the threads in her mind became a mess. She doesn't agree with that assumption, but she herself is still puzzled by Qi Xin's abnormality.When she came back to her senses, it was already dark, and her stomach was rumbling, so Ai You dug out some pastries from the refrigerator and ate some casually.

When Zhao Yemei arrived at the restaurant, Zhao Quanneng had already ordered tea and waited. He lowered his head and clasped his hands, wondering what he was thinking.

"Come on, what's the matter, I'm still in a hurry to go home and take care of the baby." After Zhao Yemei sat down, she glanced at Zhao Quanneng, picked up the cup and poured herself a cup of tea, took it up to her nose and sniffed it, and pressed it carefully. Take a sip.

Zhao Quanneng watched Zhao Yemei sipping tea slowly, knowing that she was urging him on purpose, and said with a smile, "Your brother-in-law is here, so what are you worried about? Our siblings haven't been together for a long time, please have a meal."

Zhao Yemei put down the teacup, and said lightly: "If you can talk nonsense like this in front of other girls, you would have married a wife long ago, so do you still need to invite me to drink tea?"

Zhao Quanneng saw that his sister punctured his own words mercilessly, and smiled: "Sister, I'm not improving, but I have someone else in my heart, so it doesn't work even if I say it."

When Zhao Yemei heard this, she became interested, and asked with wide eyes, "Don't you like Qi Xin?"

"Why not, that's right, I thought she was pretty when I was a child, but I didn't expect to meet her again after I returned to China."

"Then what does it mean that you have someone else in your heart? You mean that Qi Xin has someone he likes?" Zhao Yemei asked suspiciously, taking the menu from the waiter and starting to order.

"I'm not sure, I'm here to ask you today just to be sure." Zhao Quanneng refilled the empty cup for Zhao Yemei, and told what happened last night. Zhao Yemei listened while drinking tea, and waited for Zhao Quanneng to finish talking. Just nodded.

"The little boy you mentioned came to our company early this morning, and the boss personally accompanied him to a meeting, and Qi Xin was also there." Zhao Yemei finished speaking in one breath, and began to drink tea slowly again.

When Zhao Quanneng heard this, he thought that Yuanye had chased after Qi Xin to the company, his eyes were wide open, and his forehead was sweating from anxiety.

"You know how to be anxious now? When I was at home, I kept saying that you liked Qi Xin, but it's been so many days, why haven't I seen you show any signs of it? So you still want to chase girls?"

"I, what should I do?"

Zhao Yemei rolled her eyes, feeling speechless about this lump of wood.

"Send flowers, give gifts, make dinner appointments, watch movies, there are so many ways, you take turns."

"Qi Xin shouldn't like these, right?" Zhao Quanneng sighed and said in a muffled voice.After he was seated, he kept thinking about what happened last night. He didn’t drink much from a pot of good tea. He felt a little thirsty at this moment. A piece of incense, he frowned subconsciously, and poured himself another cup of tea.

Only then did Zhao Yemei take a serious look at him and said, "It seems that you are not stupid. You know that she doesn't like these things, but it's better than nothing, right? It doesn't mean that to you at all, let's find the right one, what do you think?"

Zhao Quan could not speak, he knew Qi Xin's attitude towards him, but if he gave up at this point, he would feel unwilling.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhao Yemei knew that this kid had a character of not turning back without bumping into the south wall, so she stopped talking and started eating by herself.

After Qi Xin got off work, she stayed in the office until dark before returning home. She did not expect that Yuan Ye, whom she accidentally met during a business trip in Chengdu last time, turned out to be the son of a well-known shareholder of the Guohai Group in City A, let alone that he would run away on a special trip. Come to Xincheng for cooperation.

Yuan Ye originally worked in Chengdu District, but this time he was transferred back to City A, clearly to get close to Ai You. It felt like a potted plant that he liked very much and had been raising for a while was suddenly taken away by others in a grandiose way, and he felt stuck in his heart. .She looked at the pot of green roses that Ai You had fiddled with before. At that time, Ai You was trying to comfort her with worry in his eyes, and the flashing aura in those amber-like eyes made her feel that she was so cared about.

It's no wonder Yuan Ye likes such a good girl.

The next day, Qi Xin's mood returned to normal, and Ai You was dazzled by the large bouquet of red roses delivered to Qi Xin by the courier before she was happy for a long time.

Ai You sneaked a peek at the card while she was sending documents to Qi Xin, and it was indeed that Zhao Quanneng, she pouted her mouth immediately, and secretly "cut" in her heart, hum, what's so great about roses, after two days of storage Withered, she wouldn't like Qi Xin.

Seeing that Ai You put down the document and did not leave, Qi Xin thought she had something to say, but when she raised her head, she saw Ai You looking at the flowers on the table with disdain, and was confused by her expression.

"Why are you unhappy? Didn't Yuan Ye give you a gift?" Qi Xin put the pencil in his hand between his three fingers, flicked his middle finger slightly, and tilted his index finger back slightly, and the pencil circled around his thumb.

"If he dares to give me this thing again, I'll whip him with a thorny stem." Ai You opened his mouth and said, wishing that what he said would come true.

Qi Xin raised her eyebrows with a smile on her lips and said, "The thorns on the packaged roses have been shaved off. It seems that you didn't appreciate the flowers he sent before."

Ai You said in a muffled voice: "These cut flowers, although romantic, are always withered in advance."

When Qi Xin heard this, her heart beat faster for two seconds: I only knew that she knew flowers, but I didn't expect her to be so sympathetic to these lives.

"If the two love each other, I think these flowers would be willing to make it happen, but for those who insist on their own way, this beauty is a shackle in disguise, so that people don't even have the nerve to say no."

Qi Xin put down her pen, walked around to Ai You, glanced around the bouquet of flowers, reached out and pulled out a budding rose, and put it in front of Ai You: "This is for you, and the rest for me Go out and distribute it to other colleagues in the office."

Ai You was stunned for a moment, then thanked softly, blushing slightly, took the rose that Qi Xin was still resting in her hand and put it on her own desk, then walked out of the office holding the bouquet on Qi Xin's desk, before closing the door He purposely glanced at Qi Xin, but unexpectedly met Qi Xin's gaze, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated for half a second.

Qi Xin walked to Ai You's desk, looked at the plump roses that were placed on the table upright, and felt a little complacent in her heart, didn't she accept it?

As the end of the year approached, Xincheng's annual meeting was held as scheduled, and each employee received their own red envelopes based on their performance for the year. His throat roared.

Qi Xin doesn't like to make trouble in front of so many people, so she sits quietly on the side, drinking wine mixed with Sprite with the people who come to clink glasses with her, and when someone invites her, she will roll the dice twice, and if she loses, follow the rules She could drink whatever she wanted, and after making a fuss for a while, she felt a little stuffy all over her body, so she walked out of the sofa and walked to the door to hang her coat on the hanger.

At this time, a low and familiar voice came from the speaker.

Quietly press the power switch

The color of the screen is getting brighter

find one in virtual city

place to rest the mind

……

Qi Xin turned around and saw Ai You sitting at one end of the sofa, holding the upper end of the microphone with her right hand, staring at the subtitles and singing earnestly, her voice was low and hoarse, with a somewhat depressed taste.

open transparent wings

flying towards the moon

Search for the most beautiful one

real paradise

……

As the guitar playing became more and more passionate, Ai You stood up, brushed her left hand on her chest, opened her throat and let out a sound, this momentary outburst made Qi Xin's scalp tingle.She looked at Ai You from a distance, and watched her perform this song seriously and devotedly, and suddenly felt a little excited, maybe it was driven by the rock melody.At this time, Ai You turned around, looked straight into Qi Xin's eyes, and continued to sing along with the rhythm:

fly through the end of the night

embrace your warmth

riding the wind of fantasy

open transparent wings

flying towards the moon

Search for the most beautiful one

real paradise

fly through the end of the night

embrace your warmth

riding the wind of fantasy

scattered countless lights

At this point, the music stopped abruptly, and there was applause in the private room. Ai You handed the wheat to the next person, nestled on the sofa, and took a big sip from the wine glass.

She had clearly seen the light in Qi Xin's eyes just now, and it seemed to be getting brighter and brighter with her singing.She knew that a person had been watching her from the moment she opened her voice, and she knew where this person was standing, so she turned around and saw the slender Qi Xin hiding in the dark.But this didn't affect her ability to see the excitement in Qi Xin's eyes clearly. As Qi Xin's eyes moved, her own heartbeat began to speed up, like the sonorous and powerful guitar sound in the melody.At this moment, the unique fragrance of Qi Xin's body became more and more intense in her mind. She unconsciously took a deeper breath, but she could only smell the smell of popcorn and red wine. There was no smell in the air that she remembered; but Just because she didn't have it, she missed the fragrance that had been woven into her olfactory nerves even more when she first smelled it. She really wanted to get close to Qi Xin and do nothing but take a good breath.

Seeing that Ai You seemed to be restraining something, Qi Xin took a sip of booze, and for no reason there was a trace of longing in her heart. She wanted to know what Ai You was thinking just now, she wanted to know what Ai You was restraining just now.But Ai You didn't look at her anymore, so she had no choice but to go back to the previous place and continue playing with her colleagues.

Qi Xin was absent-minded in the next game, and those two questions kept circling in her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it, so she lost many times and was fined drinking all the time. Ruddy up.Ai You was bored to the side, watching the group of booing people all the time, and finally couldn't help but get up and squeeze towards Qi Xin.

"You guys, why are you bullying our manager Qi like this." Ai You sat beside Qi Xin, took away the wine glass in her hand, put it aside, looked up at each one, and said in a dignified manner.

Everyone usually joked with Ai You a lot, but when they saw her coming, they naturally refused to let her go.

"Hey, the assistant feels distressed. You are willing to bet and admit defeat. If you are reluctant, you can do it for me, but you have to drink twice as much to do it. If you look at it, you won't know how to drink, so forget it."

The person who spoke was a manager from the sales department, who was usually noisy in the company, and now he was full of tricks.Ai You was provoked by him, and glared at him. Without saying a word, she picked up the glass she had just put down and drank it. The colleague next to her saw this, and while calling "good drinker", she took advantage of the opportunity to fill Ai You with wine , indicating that she needs another drink.

Ai You couldn't help it, she took a deep breath, the familiar fragrance mixed in the air and flowed into her chest, she felt nostalgic for it.She swallowed the second cup, put down the cup, pulled Qi Xin to stand up, and said at the top of her voice, "Hmph, you bastards, get out of the way, I'm going to the bathroom."

"You can go by yourself, and Manager Qi didn't say to go."

Hearing this, Ai You turned her head to look at Qi Xin, Qi Xin was all smiles, her ruddy face looked a little more charming than usual.She gave Ai You a tender look, then turned to the others and said, "Excuse me first."

Only then did Ai You feel relieved, and pulled Qi Xin out.

As soon as the door was opened, the cold air rushed in. Both of them were shivering from the cold, and they suddenly became more awake.

Qi Xin walked behind, looking at Ai You's side face, the answer she wanted to know so much just now, but now she didn't know where to ask it.

The two were silent all the way, went downstairs and sat on the sofa in the hall, the air here was relatively not so dull.A 90-inch LCD monitor was hung on the wall opposite the sofa, and the MV of the latest popular hits was scrolling on the screen. The two of them stared at the screen, not knowing what was so interesting about the picture made with special effects.

From the corner of Ai You's eyes, she saw Qi Xin raised her left hand to gently rub her temples, then turned her head and asked softly, "Sister Xin, are you alright?"

Qi Xin froze for a moment, it seemed that she hadn't called herself that way since she came back from Chengdu, and the sudden intimacy made Qi Xin feel dizzy even more.She was in no mood to speak, but just shook her head.

Seeing that Qi Xin closed her eyes, Ai You thought that the stamina of the red wine had picked up. She stood up and looked around, and found a milk tea shop on the street opposite the gate, so she bent down and said to Qi Xin, "Sister Xin, are you here?" Wait for me here, I'll be back soon." After speaking, he strode out.

Qi Xin opened his eyes, the man has disappeared around the corner of the gate, will he come back?She thought to herself and closed her eyes again.
