one to two

Ai You came back not long after, with a cup of milk tea in her left hand and an unopened straw in her right hand.She sat back beside Qi Xin, tore off the transparent plastic paper on the sloped end of the straw, aimed at the round hole on the paper cover, and poked it in. She quickly pulled off the remaining plastic paper and handed it to Qi Xin.

The temperature of the paper cup was just right, Qi Xin held it in her palm, and the warmth gradually seeped into her veins.

"It's honey water, drink some. I'll go up and take off your clothes and bag. Let's go back first after a while, so as to save them from continuing to make trouble. Sister Xin, what do you think?" Ai You looked at Qi Xinlue With a flushed face, she asked in a warm voice. The delicate and thoughtful words in her words benefited Qi Xin very much. She raised her head and smiled at Ai You, her eyes sparkling like waves, and she nodded immediately.This faint smile fell on Ai You's heart like a silhouette.

Not long after the annual meeting, the whole company of Xincheng had a spring break, and a small number of colleagues didn't have to catch up with the Spring Festival travel. They stayed until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month to pack up their desks and go home for the New Year.

On the [-]th day, the weather was fine, Qi Xin hung his quilt on the balcony to dry in the sun, and cleaned up from inside to outside.In the afternoon, I drove to the hotel to have a New Year's Eve dinner with Qi Yuelai's family. It was different from the busy traffic in the past, and the journey was smooth.

When Qi Xin arrived, Qi Junliang was drinking tea with Qi Juncai. Qi Yuelai was wearing a bright red sweater, and he was talking about something, which made Zhang Yanhua laugh out loud.As soon as Qi Xin approached, Qi Yuelai's sharp eyes immediately straightened up and waved to Qi Xin.Qi Xin greeted each other and sat next to Qi Yuelai.

"Ah Xin, call your mother again and ask when she will arrive." Qi Junliang said with a smile when his daughter arrived.

"She called me on the way just now, and said she will be there in a while." Qi Xin put down her bag, straightened her clothes, and said calmly.

"Uncle, don't worry, aunt is the most punctual, it's still early. If you are hungry, I have snacks in my bag that I can lend you." Qi Yuelai was joking, her mother stared at him glanced at her.Qi Junliang didn't care, and said dotingly: "Haha, I'm afraid those snacks of yours are not enough for my teeth, so I'd better leave it to you to satisfy your hunger."

When Qi Yue came to see that the adults all had their own things to say, she turned her head and fell in love with Qi Xin, moved her chair to Qi Xin's side, winked at her playfully, and whispered softly: "Sister, I heard you Have you become the flower fairy of your company?"

Qi Xin looked at Qi Yuelai indifferently, and knew that this girl was not serious, so she pretended not to understand what she was talking about, and gave her a puzzled look.

Qi Yuelai looked up at the three elders next to her, and seeing that no one was paying attention here, she turned her head and said to Qi Xin, "Don't pretend, you gave all the flowers that Aneng gave you. People from your company, am I right?"

"You're quite well informed, where did you find out?" Qi Xin didn't care, and continued to drink tea.

"I don't even need to inquire. They delivered it to me and told me. Sis, have you not read the bill recently? Haven't you noticed that the rose purchases in your store have increased recently?" Qi Yue came to join in. When it reached Qi Xin's ear, the hot breath made Qi Xin's neck itch.

"Is that why the packaging looks so familiar? What a pity."

Qi Yuelai looked at Qi Xin with a disdainful expression, and said in a muffled voice, "What a pity? In order to give you more surprises, I specially exchanged a batch of new cards, so that you won't be able to tell at a glance that this flower belongs to me." I find it boring."

Qi Xin sighed, and said, "Xiao Lai, you know that it is impossible for me and Aneng, why do you still spend so much trouble with him?"

"Sister, the customer is God. Who doesn't want to do business? I know you like the wilderness last time. You have a good eye."

When Qi Xin heard this, he calmly shook his head, looking too lazy to answer.When Qi Yue came to see her, her face remained unchanged, she squinted her eyes and thought for a moment, and then said: "Don't worry, Ai You told me personally that she and Yuan Ye have nothing at all, so you don't have to worry that you will be robbing the assistant's boyfriend the third party."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Xin put down his teacup and looked at the table quietly. After three seconds, he asked in a low voice: "Ai You... Why is Ai You telling you this when she's okay?"

Qi Yuelai looked at Qi Xin carefully, for fear of missing the slightest expression on her face.

"The manager got angry for some reason, but he scared him so much that he came here to ask me what happened." Qi Yuelai was talking, but suddenly put away his teasing voice, and whispered, "Auntie is here. "

Hearing this, Qi Xin looked back and saw that Yan Zhiying was walking towards them, with a long red cashmere scarf hanging around her neck, which formed a strong visual impact with her black suit.

"It's all here, haven't you been waiting for a long time?" Yan Zhiying walked to Qi Junliang, pulled out a chair and sat down, took off the scarf, folded it, and put it in the bag.

"We just arrived not long ago, but you, there are activities in the unit, are you tired from rushing around?" Qi Junliang said softly, and helped Yan Zhiying pour a glass of boiled water.

"I'm used to it, Xiao Lai must be hungry, hurry up and serve."

When the meal was almost finished, Yan Zhiying turned to Qi Xin and said, "Ah Xin, Ah Neng called me this afternoon. He will come to our house tomorrow to celebrate the New Year. You can go home with us today, so as not to make another trip tomorrow." .”

"Tomorrow, the first day of the lunar new year, what is he doing at our house?" Qi Xin asked without changing his expression.

"You kid, I'm here to pay New Year's greetings. What's wrong with the first day of the new year? Everyone is free on the first day of the new year. How nice." Yan Zhiying put down her chopsticks and looked at Qi Xin quietly.

"Mom, he's going to give you New Year's greetings. You can entertain him however you want. I don't have time tomorrow." Qi Xin finished in a low voice and buried her head in the soup.

"You don't have to go to work tomorrow, why don't you have time? It's the first day of the new year. If you're not staying at home, where are you going?" Yan Zhiying asked patiently, anticipating that Qi Xin would not obediently obey her arrangement.

"I..." Qi Xin couldn't think of what to say for a moment, and stood there, very embarrassed.

"It's Chinese New Year, eat well first, what's the matter, it's not too late to talk about it after the Chinese New Year." Qi Junliang patted Yan Zhiying on the shoulder, and at the same time winked at Qi Xin, telling her not to say a few words.

"Auntie, actually, my cousin really has something to do tomorrow, and she just told me that she's going on a date tomorrow." Qi Yuelai put down her chopsticks and said softly.

As soon as Yan Zhiying regained her spirits, she turned her head to look at Qi Yuelai, and couldn't wait to ask, "Who are you dating?"

"Auntie, wait a moment." Qi Yue said, lowered her head and took out the phone from her bag, slid out a photo a few times, and handed the phone to Yan Zhiying, "That's it, we drank together last time .”

Qi Xin took a quick look, and it turned out to be a photo of her chatting with Yuan Ye that night. I really don't know when Qi Yue came to take it, and now I'm taking it out to talk nonsense, it's too embarrassing.

Yan Zhiying took the phone, looked at it carefully, and showed a very relieved smile. "This guy looks pretty good, Xin, since you have someone you like, why don't you tell mom? This is a good thing, and we can help you check it out when you bring it back." As he spoke, he returned the phone Gave it to Qi Yuelai.

Qi Xin had no choice but to sneak a slash at Qi Yuelai and said, "It's not time yet."

Qi Yuelai didn't care, and then said to Yan Zhiying: "My cousin wants to get to know him better first, so I made an appointment to go out to play tomorrow."

Yan Zhiying bowed her head and thought for a while, then said, "Since we have already made an appointment, let's go."

Qi Yue came to hear the words, and then she looked at Qi Xin, and raised her eyebrows at her proudly.

After the reunion dinner, the two families went back to their respective homes. Qi Yue came to sit with her parents in the living room to watch the Spring Festival Gala. Yan Zhiying was in a good mood after knowing that Qi Xin had a date tomorrow, and now she didn't care whether Qi Xin was absent-minded or not. She was playing with her mobile phone, she thought her daughter was sending a message to that young man.

Qi Xin recalled what Qi Yuelai said to herself at the dinner table, and took out her mobile phone to log on to QQ. Ai You's avatar was black and white. She stared at the avatar for a while, and finally clicked in. blank.It seems that except for the time when Ai You asked her for the keys, their chat records are all about work-related content.Looking at this blank space, Qi Xin remembered that she and Ai You had only known each other for more than four months.In the past years, no one has ever made her worry more and more. She wants to know what Ai You is doing at the moment, just like in the office, as long as she raises her head, she can see Ai You's eyebrows and eyes. This living presence made her feel at ease.But now, Ai You's black and white head made her feel restless for no reason.

But it was this uneasiness that made her feel scared. There was a kind of assumption that was about to break out of the ground. Once she saw the light, she didn't know what would happen next.

She stood up, walked back to her bedroom, opened the curtains, and looked up at the dark night sky. Someone was already setting off fireworks in the distance, and the fireworks rushed to the sky, blooming, annihilating, and silently.

The night is still dark.

On the first day of work in the new year, Ai You came very early. She wanted to go early to open the windows of the office to get some air. Unexpectedly, Qi Xin had arrived early, and the tables and chairs had already been cleaned.

Ai You found a brown square gift box on her desk, she blinked, then turned her head to look again.

Qi Xin changed her hairstyle, her long hair was curled into big waves, hanging down her shoulders, covering her already thin face even more exquisitely.

This woman is getting more and more refined.

Seeing Ai You staring straight at him, Qi Xin felt like a spring breeze blowing through her heart, but her expression remained calm.She put down the documents in her hand, and walked up to Ai You step by step, the sound of high heels was beating on Ai You's heart like a drumbeat.She knew that her gaze was a bit out of line, but she just couldn't move it away, not to mention that at this moment, the beautiful woman was already standing in front of her.

Qi Xin rolled her eyes at Ai You's reddish ears, and said softly, "Open it and see if you like it."

A long-awaited fragrance lingered in Ai You's breath, she sniffed, and opened the box on the table sideways.

It is a light sapphire blue slim-fit waistcoat.

The waistcoat reflected a soft luster, Ai You reached out to stroke it, it was soft and moist, she held the waistcoat by the shoulders, and lifted the clothes up, the stitches were well-proportioned and fine, the knives fit smoothly, streamlined and stylish.

Ai You put the vest back into the gift box, raised her hand and took off her coat, put the vest on, buttoned it up, tugged the hem of the clothes lightly, then looked up at Qi Xin.Qi Xin took two steps back and nodded with a smile. It just so happened that she was wearing an off-white round neck shirt today, which matched the color of the vest very freshly.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, Ai You walked up to open the door, saw that it was Zhao Yemei, said happy new year, and let the person in sideways.After Zhao Yemei came in, she saw the box on Ai You's table, and then turned to look at Ai You with admiration in her eyes.

"Ai You, your clothes really hold up the scene."

"Thank you, this is from Manager Qi." Ai You said, turned her head to look at Qi Xin, and then lowered her head again.

Zhao Yemei looked at Ai You's blushing appearance, and teased: "You have worked so many overtimes with Qi Xin, she should have expressed it long ago, isn't it just a piece of clothing, why do you look shy, others don't know it I thought it was sent by some pretty boy."

Qi Xin glanced at Zhao Yemei and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yemei put away her smile and replied, "You know that all the staff will have a meeting later?" Seeing Qi Xin nodding, Zhao Yemei glanced at Ai You again, and Qi Xin followed her to see that Ai You was changing back to the coat she was wearing before. The temperature is still very low.With a smile in the corner of her eyes, she looked away and said softly, "It's okay, just talk."

Zhao Yemei had no choice but to tell the truth: "A few days during the Chinese New Year, Aneng asked you out several times, but you were not available. I also know that you only treat him as an ordinary friend. You can't force feelings. Suzuto, how about we make an appointment tonight and you completely cut him off?"
