She messed with me first

Qi Xi froze in place, and an unknown heat surged quickly in her body - from the tips of her ears to her cheeks, it spread all over her body within a short while.

She tried her best to stabilize her mind, picked up the dirty clothes that were put aside to cover the key parts, and explained: "I thought you were going to make a long phone call, so I thought about washing it first, so as to save time."

"En." Meng Qing responded, walking in with a calm expression.

Qi Xi couldn't help but grabbed her clothes and stepped back.

There was a shower behind her, and she accidentally knocked on the raised metal knob, causing her to gasp in pain.

When Meng Qingrang heard it, his brows furrowed immediately, and he asked her in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Qi Xi held her breath, and the forced smile was unnatural, "It's okay, just knocked."

"Let me see." Meng Qingrang put down his clothes casually and was about to come over.

Qi Xi quickly clung to the wall and refused, "No need!"

Her voice is loud, even a little shrill.

Meng Qingrang stopped immediately and looked straight at her with no expression on her face.

Qi Xi later realized that he had overreacted, leaning against the cold wall and thinking: "It's over, business can't be negotiated, and I'm afraid I won't be able to keep my job."

"Mr. Meng, I..." Qi Xi wanted to say something to relax, but just as he finished speaking, Meng Qingrang suddenly laughed, more casually than ever before.

She took two steps back, folded her arms around her chest, leaned against the sink, and asked her with a good temper, "I have what you have, as for?"

There was a big contrast between Meng Qingrang's attitude, and Qi Xi couldn't react all of a sudden, and he was stunned for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "It's a bit sudden."

"Indeed, blame me for being rude." Meng Qingrang sucked his congested nose and said quite seriously, "Why don't I take it off too, so I can show you?"

Meng Qingrang, who was speaking, had a hoarse voice due to a cold, and now she lowered, slowed down, and cut sentences momentarily, Qi Xi felt awkward no matter what she heard, she called out 'Mr. Meng' as if begging for mercy, and said: "You Just stop teasing me."

Meng Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that her words were strange, "It's the first time I've heard someone comment that I'm cute at this age."

Qi Xi's mentality has completely collapsed. Her back is terribly cold at the moment, but the heat on her body is still rising in waves. If this continues, she will die.

Meng Qingrang didn't know whether it was Qi Xi's mental activity, or what was going on, she lowered her arm, and kindly let Qi Xi go, "I'm going out first, you wash it up, don't really catch a cold .”

Qi Xi burst into tears of gratitude.

As soon as she left, he immediately locked the door and let out a long breath.

She doesn't want to do this business.

----

When Qi Xi came out after washing, Meng Qingrang was sitting on the sofa wrapped in a blanket and watching TV.

Hearing footsteps, she raised her eyelids and looked at Qi Xi.

"You look better in this outfit than I do." Meng Qingrang said.

Qi Xi looked down, not knowing whether her words were true or not, so she had to choose the safest answer, "Mr. Meng is over the top. I will wash the clothes when I get back. This time, I will definitely not wait a month to return them."

Meng Qingrang couldn't help laughing, "Qi Xi, you can do it, it's just our fate, why don't you keep thinking about it?"

Qi Xi didn't know what to say, if he didn't pay it back, would it be possible to pay it back for the rest of his life?

"Sit down." Meng Qingrang dragged the end of the voice, her tone full of helplessness, "Why do you have to ask me to invite you for everything?"

Qi Xi was embarrassed, she was really not like this usually, according to Zheng Youling's words, even if she blatantly coaxed the client, the client would smile and thank her at the same time, she would not be cold at all, when Meng Qing asked her here...she has mutated.

There were no surprises this time. Meng Qing handed over the house plan to Qi Xi, and told her about her needs. After she had finished reading it, she said, "Is there anything else I need to know?"

"Not yet." Qi Xi said, "However, I have a question."

"You said."

"I've heard of this neighborhood. It was the most popular hardcover high-end real estate the year before last. I remember that there was a special report on the soft decoration design here in the news at that time - a well-known domestic architectural designer was hired. No matter the design or the material selection Couldn't fault it, absolutely no need to redecorate."

"Well, you're right. The current design is indeed good, but personally, it has a fatal flaw." Meng Qingrang leaned on the sofa, his plain eyes slowly gliding across the bright and clean living room, and then Facing Qi Xi, "It's not very human."

Qi Xi was enlightened.

Indeed, the houses in this community have the smallest area of ​​more than 200 square meters. Coupled with the simple design style of black and white tones, although they are high-end, they don’t feel like home at all. If they live alone, they will look even more empty.

"Boss Meng, do you live alone?" Qi Xi asked.

Meng Qing pressed his hands shrunk in the blanket to his shoulders, and jokingly said, "Yes, I'm going to be 30 soon, or I'm alone, where is Mr. Qi?"

"Me?" The topic suddenly came to Qi Xi, but she didn't shy away from it, "I'm not married."

"Not getting married doesn't affect dating."

"trouble."

Qi Xi answered without thinking, Meng Qingrang laughed, and tears came out of his eyes again.

Qi Xi didn't know what happened, and hurriedly asked: "Mr. Meng, what did I say wrong?"

Meng Qingrang raised his head and smiled wryly, "It has nothing to do with you, it's my nose that doesn't live up to it, and I can't sneeze, it's so sore."

Qi Xi understood this feeling of being forced to hold back, she hurriedly got up and took out two pieces of paper, wanting to give way to Meng Qing.

Seeing that her hands were still curled up in the blanket, she moved faster than she realized, and directly pressed the paper to the corner of her eyes where tears were already rolling out.

For a moment, the two froze at the same time.

Qi Xi forgot to take back his hand, and looked at Meng Qingrang fixedly from a short distance away.

She is beautiful, the kind of beauty that seems to be carefully crafted even without makeup.

At this moment, there was a layer of moist light in her eyes, and her smile was as dazzling as stars, "Thank you." She said, her hoarse voice seemed to stir the invisible air.

Qi Xi shook her hand, as if waking up from a dream.

She quickly withdrew her hands and sat back, dressed in a dress and answered naturally, "You're welcome."

Meng Qingrang had just shed tears, and when he looked at people, the end of his eyes were red, which made his face paler, "Mr. Qi is so good at taking care of people, it's a pity not to fall in love."

Qi Xi rolled up the tissue and tightly wrapped the part wet with tears inside, "The type I like is quite special, it's hard to find."

Meng Qingrang smiled and shook his head, "No matter how special he is, he is definitely not as special as the person I like."

Qi Xi held the ball of paper and raised her eyes, "Who do you like?"

Meng Qingrang, "Woman."

"!" Qi Xi clenched her hands tightly, the shock that couldn't be hidden on her face.

Meng Qingrang kept looking at Qi Xi, and smiled at her direct reaction, his tone was still calm, "Is it hard to accept?"

"No." Qi Xi spoke in a hurry, "I was just surprised, you look..."

The phone in the bag suddenly rang.

For the first time, Qi Xi felt that the bad street ringtone that came with her mobile phone was pleasant. She quickly took out her mobile phone and said to Meng Qingrang, "Sorry, I'll answer the call."

Meng Qingrang, "Please."

Qi Xi immediately stood up, walked towards the balcony, and at the same time answered the call from her best friend Tang Jia, "Jia Jia."

Tang Jia said, "Xi Xi, I'm back! Where are you now? Come to my house at night, we sleep together!"

Tang Jia's voice is very loud, and Qi Xi's mobile phone is not sound-proof, so the two collided together, and the private conversation was basically equal to the outside.

Meng Qingrang looked at Qi Xi's hurried back, the smile on his mouth remained unchanged.

In two or three minutes, Qi Xi came back after talking on the phone.

The previous shock was gone from her body, as if nothing had happened, she asked Meng Qingrang, "Do you have any special needs for this decoration?"

Meng Qingrang, "No, just like a place where I live. Don't make me come back from work all day and always think I'm in the office. No, it's not as lively as the office."

"Okay, I understand what you mean. I'll come up with a plan for you as soon as possible, next Wednesday at the latest." Qi Xi said.

Meng Qingrang, "It's hard work."

Qi Xi, "It should."

The conversation about decoration basically ends here.

Qi Xi glanced at the time and took the initiative to say goodbye, "Mr. Meng, I won't disturb you. You should rest well. When the plan comes out, I will send it to you as soon as possible."

Meng Qingrang, "Okay, the contract will not be signed today?"

Qi Xi, "Don't worry, the plan will only enter the blueprint design stage after you like it, and the contract will be signed before this."

"Okay, remind me when the time comes. I'm not in good clothes today, so I won't take you out. Do you still remember how to get there?"

"remember."

"Well, call me if you have something to do, and I'll send you a WeChat number later."

"it is good."

Qi Xi packed up his things and got up, saw the clothes he had changed aside, turned around and said to Meng Qingrang, "I'll express the clothes to you tomorrow, is that okay?"

Meng Qingrang raised his head, slowly looked at Qi Xi, and said with a smile: "Keep it on, I didn't lie to you, you really look better than me in this outfit."

But no reward for nothing...

In the end, Qi Xi didn't insist, thanked her, and left Meng Qing's house with her dirty clothes.

The way out was not difficult to find, but it was a bit far away. Qi Xi walked for about ten minutes before seeing the gate.

It was windy at the door, and she folded her arms, but she still couldn't stop the cold wind from pouring in from the collar.

By the time she got on the bus, Qi Xi was already completely cold.

She found a seat in the back row and took out her mobile phone to send Tang Jia a WeChat message, saying that she was going to her place now.

The screen lit up, and the reminder on the top was the mobile phone number sent by Meng Qingrang and her question: [Mr. Qi, do you dislike homosexuality? 】

Qi Xi doesn't hate it. In her opinion, there are only love and non-love in love, and there is no distinction between the same sex and the opposite sex, but... this kind of question is really suitable for asking a stranger who has never met a few times?

Qi Xi felt that it was inappropriate.

If it is not appropriate, I am unwilling to answer truthfully.

She unlocked her phone, clicked into Meng Qingrang's WeChat from the message notification, and replied to her: [I don't understand, so I haven't thought about this question, sorry. 】
