By the time Qu Fanyi realized what was happening, she had already gotten out of the car.
The kiss was so short that it seemed to last only a moment.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she heard a "click" sound, and he reached out to open the car door for her.
"The fare is calculated."
Zeng Yuqiu smiled with his lips hooked, and a playful light flashed in his eyes. This kiss was impulsive, with a bit of teasing. He always did things as he pleased, and Qu Fanyi was like a pile of neatly stacked dominoes. He admitted that he was impatient, and when he met her, he couldn't help but give her a gentle push.
The cards fell, it was sinful, but fun.
He thought she would slap him - he would admit it even if she did.
But she didn't. The woman's lips were slightly open, and her eyes were still wide open. It seemed that she hadn't reacted to what happened. After a while, she whispered thank you and got out of the car as if nothing had happened.
Anyway, there would be no more intersections, Zeng Yuqiu smiled and started the accelerator. He took a last look at the towering gate of the community in the rearview mirror, and then thought: "Maybe not. People in their community may see them often in the future."
The sky cleared up in the afternoon, and the sun climbed out from behind the clouds. Summer is getting hotter and hotter. Qu Fanyi pushed open the door, went into the house, took off her clothes and threw them into the dirty clothes basket. She walked to the bathroom in her underwear, filled the bathtub with water, and walked to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator door, took out the ice milk, unscrewed the bottle cap, and poured it into her mouth.
The ice milk flowed from her mouth to her collarbone, and it was chilly.
Perhaps her mouth was too hot.
Qu Fanyi caught a glimpse of her own hazy reflection on the refrigerator, stopped, and looked straight in. The person in the picture was white and thin, with a straight collarbone. At the age of 27, she was still wearing a pure cotton bra and panties that girls like, white, with small lace lace on the edges.
With a strange feeling of warmth in her head, she touched her lips and recalled the breath of the strange man - unreserved, passionate, domineering plunder, and erotic teasing.
The heat from the corners of her lips sank little by little, from her chest to her lower abdomen, and then down. Her heartbeat accelerated, and her cheeks burned red. The woman in the mirror had tears in her eyes.
On her fair skin, there was a pouring milky white liquid, lewd and innocent.
She admired herself motionlessly for a long time, and then she gently wiped the milk on her collarbone. Then, she looked at the mark, slowly lowered her head, stretched out her tongue a little bit, and licked her fingers lightly -
Sweet.
Qu Fanyi took a long bath. When she came out of the bathroom refreshed and pushed the door, she was almost startled: there was a man lying on the sofa. He seemed to be very tired and had fallen asleep, snoring slightly.
Chi Wei is back. Qu Fanyi was stunned, "Why are you back so early?"
She walked over quietly and pushed him, calling: "Chi Wei, Chi Wei!"
The man woke up in a daze and rubbed his eyes: "Xiao Yi, I'm so sleepy. I've been working night shifts these days, I give up."
Qu Fanyi pursed her lips: "Will you change shifts in the future?"
Chi Wei shook his head, "No, no." He glanced at Qu Fanyi and touched his nose, "Xiao Yi, I'm hungry."
Qu Fanyi widened her eyes: "Didn't you eat?"
"I had something to do at noon and didn't have time to eat." He got up and went to the refrigerator, "What did we eat last night?"
It seemed that he was really hungry. Qu Fanyi stood there for a long time and decided to ask: "What did you do at noon?"
Chi Wei turned his head and looked at her, a little surprised.
It was the first time he saw Qu Fanyi ignore his needs. However, at this moment, Qu Fanyi was more persistent than ever. She stood straight and stared at him intently. Chi Wei moved his lips and confessed:
"I had an appointment with a colleague for lunch at noon. Her name is Huang Nana."
Qu Fanyi raised her eyebrows slightly.
"I, I have something to tell her, mainly - she treats me, um." Chi Wei touched his nose, looking embarrassed and conceited, "seems a bit interesting."
Qu Fanyi was stunned, thinking she was deaf: "Huh?"
"I didn't pay much attention to her before, but I found out when I worked the night shift with her this time. Alas, she has been annoying me these days, too noisy. So I asked her out for dinner and made it clear. This kind of thing is very troublesome in the hospital. It's not good for you, me, or her."
As Chi Wei said, he took out a pack of pulled noodles from the refrigerator and poked his head out: "Make me a bowl of noodles, I can't wait for my aunt to come. Make something rich tonight, I'm starving."
Qu Fanyi didn't move.
After a long while, "You..." She seemed to have not reacted, and said in an incredible tone: "You...you are still worrying about this."
"What else? If I don't show up in this situation, do you have to show up?"
Qu Fanyi was embarrassed, thinking of the densely packed notebook, and answered softly, "I always thought I needed to show up."
"Are you stupid?" Chi Wei sneered, took the water, turned on the kettle, walked to the living room, and fell heavily on the sofa, "It's still comfortable at home! Xiaoyi."
Qu Fanyi followed him and saw Chi Wei looking at her, and said sincerely: "I've been working overtime these days, and when I'm tired to death, I will think of home This is the first time I want to go home so much. Do you know why? "Chi Wei held her hand, "Because of you, Xiaoyi. In my eyes, you are a very, very perfect wife. You clean everything at home very well and take good care of me. You know how to match my clothes and how to handle small and big things. We have the same interests and hobbies. It's fun to get along with you. Since getting married, I feel that life has become much happier. I must tell you that marrying you is one of the most correct things I have done in my life. "
When Chi Wei said these words, he kept looking into her eyes, his tone was pious and warm.
Qu Fanyi's nose became sour, and the two looked at each other for a long time. Qu Fanyi lowered her head: "I'm sorry."
"What's wrong?"
"I, I saw your schedule when I went to the hospital to bring you clothes and dinner. I thought you and Huang Nana..."
Chi Wei laughed, "How is it possible? You have to believe in my judgment."
Qu Fanyi also pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "And before that, I suddenly ran away from home at night..."
Chi Wei's smile was restrained, a little uncomfortable, and interrupted her: "Don't blame yourself. I was impulsive that day. But in fact, we just got married, and we still have a long future. Take it slow, okay?"
He decided not to rush or be embarrassed. He thought clearly that they still had a long time, as long as a lifetime. In the future, he would fall in love with her and let everything come naturally - and even if they didn't love each other, it didn't matter. They would have other feelings. The appearance of Huang Nana made him firm. He chose Qu Fanyi, and Qu Fanyi also chose him. They are the only ones in this life.
It seems that all the problems have been clarified.
The afternoon sun shines obliquely into the window. In the empty living room, there is a cream-colored carpet and a pair of men and women hugging each other on a pure white leather sofa, in a relaxed posture.
It is the end of summer. Looking out the window, you can vaguely see the lush treetops. The bushes are blown by the wind, and waves of golden light flash. Chi Wei mentioned it without any context: "We have been married for so long, but we haven't gone out together. When the weather is cooler, let's go for an outing in the suburbs of Beijing?"
Qu Fanyi hummed in his arms.
"Call friends?"
"Okay, there are many newlywed couples around us. I'll go choose a place."
"Yeah." He touched her head.
She thought quietly that their days had returned to their usual state, peaceful, happy, and prosperous.
His breath sprayed on the top of her head, and Chi Wei's body had a faint smell of hospital disinfectant. She could hear his strong heartbeat in his arms. Even. Safe. Qu Fanyi closed her eyes, but at that moment, a face broke into Qu Fanyi's mind. Sharp lines, a sparse smile, and a curved hook at the corner of the mouth. Then, the face kept getting bigger, with a mischievous light in the eyes, close to her lips.
Wet touch.
Reckless, short-lived romance.
Qu Fanyi stood up from Chi Wei's arms suddenly.
She shook her head and drove Zeng Yuqiu's face out of her mind.
"What's wrong?" Chi Wei was surprised, then looked at Qu Fanyi's face and smiled, "Xiaoyi, why are you blushing?"
...
.
These days are very busy.
The projects at hand have more or less started to operate, the old projects are in progress, and the new projects have opened the curtain. The project I am busy with recently is called "Rainbow".
"Rainbow" is the nickname of the IPO project. For the sake of confidentiality, the listing will often take a pseudonym that implies brightness. This time, the client is a medical beauty equipment company called Beauty Unlimited, which has more than 50 beauty chain institutions in China. Mr. Xie had a deal with a company of this level three years ago, and the market value on the day of listing was as high as more than 40 billion. According to the predecessors of Hesheng, because of the successful listing of that project, the bonus of the team that year also reached an outrageous height.
However, all this is a glorious past. The growth of IPO projects has slowed down significantly in the past two years, and more and more securities firms have targeted this business area, and the competition has become more and more fierce. Soon after the news that Beauty Unlimited wanted to go public came out, several securities firms came to contact them. As the competition increased, they began to roll inward. Before the project contract was even signed, major law firms and securities firms began to compete for work.
But no matter how busy she was, she would still go to Chen Zhuan's house to spend the night after finishing a whole day's work. This feeling is a bit like a doomsday carnival. August 25th has become a deadline, and the marriage has entered a countdown. They need to exercise their rights as husband and wife in the few remaining days and enjoy their marriage time.
This matter seems to be very stupid. For example, when they were drinking together, Qiu Zining complained: Not really? If you two still like each other, you don't have to get divorced. Just keep going like this.
Sheng Yiqing quickly retorted: "First of all, it was him who wanted to leave me to study abroad. Secondly, even though he knew he was going to divorce, he still insisted on going abroad. So, in essence, he didn't want to live with me, not that I didn't want to live with him. Even if I really couldn't bear it, it was actually him who wanted to cancel the engagement when it expired."
His life is like a lonely traveler on the subway. To him, all the people in the world are just passers-by in the same city, even if it is her, she is just a passer-by who is closer. He is ready to get off at any time.
Qiu Zining felt a little regretful: "So, he doesn't like you that much?"
"It doesn't matter." Sheng Yiqing waved her hand and drank the wine on the table. "I can also not like him that much!"
"Huh?" Qiu Zining laughed, "Can this be controlled?"
"Just..." Sheng Yiqing shrugged, "Can't lose." Seeing the atmosphere become melancholy, she waved her hand, "Oh, don't talk about this. While I still like him, while we are still husband and wife, hurry up and sleep with him a few more times! It's a waste not to take advantage."
As for Chen Zhuan, his attitude was no different from before. While preparing to go abroad, he called his wife. But Sheng Yiqing noticed that no matter how late he went to his house, he would sit on the sofa and light a lamp to wait for her. A few times, when she opened the door, Chen Zhuan had already fallen asleep on the sofa-this was certainly worth touching.
However, the next second, she saw various American production graduate application guides and reference books placed beside him.
Embrace the man with an unyielding imperialist heart. Time passed faster than expected, and August was about to enter the second half of the month. They stayed together this weekend.
At this moment, the cool evening breeze slipped in from the screen window and blew onto the two people lying on the bed, their stomachs gurgling at the same time, and Sheng Yiqing gently kicked Chen Zhuan. He was also conscious, so he woke up and went to the kitchen to heat up the half-eaten takeaway at noon.
The humming sound of the microwave came through the crack in the door. Sheng Yiqing was lying on the bed, swiping his phone boredly, and saw a pop-up reminder on the phone calendar: "To-do list next Saturday: divorce."
Sheng Yiqing was stunned, locked the screen, fell on the pillow, and listened to the sound of the microwave until it sounded "ding". Sheng Yiqing asked casually through the crack in the door: "Hey, how are you preparing for the application?"
Chen Zhuan paused for a few seconds before answering, holding the door frame, "It's just like that. I have to call the agency later." He glanced at her cautiously again: "You don't mind, do you?"
"What do you mind? I'm not a mistress." Sheng Yiqing didn't move, looking at the ceiling and counting: "At this time, TOEFL, recommendation letters, personal statements and resumes should all be prepared, right?"
Chen Zhuan hummed: "I need to write a first draft of the personal statement for the agency, and I'm still looking for someone to write a recommendation letter. Tonight I plan to find a time to finish my resume."
"Do you want my help?"
"Ah?"
"Look at your resume, or documents, or something. Anyway, if you need my help, tell me anytime."
He smiled, "Why, are you looking forward to my going abroad?"
Sheng Yiqing glanced at him, then looked back at the ceiling, and said softly, "I just think that if you would rather divorce than go abroad, it means that this matter is very important to you. Since it is important, I should help you realize it. After all, I like you."
Chen Zhuan was silent.
After being silent for too long, Sheng Yiqing looked sideways and saw that this man was still standing at the door of the bedroom, holding the door frame with one hand, staring at her in a daze. When she met Sheng Yiqing's gaze, she cleared her throat, curled her eyes, walked to the side and took out her laptop, "So thoughtful? That's great, I just finished writing my personal statement, can you help me take a look?"
Sheng Yiqing hummed in a dragging tone, took the computer, sat up from the bed, took the blue light-blocking glasses on the bedside and put them on, opened the computer with one hand, and then took off the rubber band from the other wrist to tie her hair.
The blue screen light shone on her face and was reflected by the lens. She wore a loose white short-sleeved shirt with a wide neckline. Her hair was rolled up to reveal her slender shoulder and neck lines, and half of her collarbone. From Chen Zhuan's perspective, he couldn't see her eyes clearly. He could only see her palm-sized face under the frame and her half-open lips when she was relaxed. His pillow was placed on her lower back, and below that, two smooth legs were crossed...
For some reason, he actually felt that such a picture was a little, ahem, pornographic.
He touched his nose.
"Computer password?" Sheng Yiqing asked him.
"Your birthday."
Sheng Yiqing raised her eyebrows and laughed, "You're quite cunning."
"Really? I can't forget this string of numbers, and others can't guess it, but my wife can guess it at once."
As he said this, Chen Zhuan walked to the bed, leaned over and took off her glasses.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't wear this, it distracts me."
"Ah?" She was stunned.
"No, just keep watching." He walked to the door again and looked at her like this.
Sheng Yiqing said "Oh", entered the password, and lowered her head to look at the screen. This time there was no frame blocking it. Under the blue screen light, it was her white and clean face. She looked carefully, and every time she concentrated, she would bite her lips unconsciously.
For some reason - he still felt erotic.
His eyes fell on her face, lips, collarbone and legs. He felt an inexplicable irritation and suddenly asked, "Will you marry someone else after I go abroad?"
"Huh?"
As if he had been holding it in for too long, he just blurted it out, "Also, you said before that you wanted to find 2
You know, it's really childish to have a boy in his early 20s fall in love? We're married, I can't watch you get cheated, sister-brother love doesn't sound reliable, why would the boy like his sister, isn't it because his sister is financially independent and open-minded, but if you really want to get along..."
Sheng Yiqing didn't know what this guy was crazy about, she closed the computer, "Then I can find a mature one?"
"Of course not! Mature ones are not good... They are all old men, who doesn't understand each other? Old men have more problems... Just, you are more careful, how many people who are still single at this age are simple..."
"Then what do you want me to do?" She raised her eyes and looked at him with a smile.
Chen Zhuan sighed, admitted defeat, and sat in front of her, "... I mean... I will go abroad for two years." His expression was rare and serious, with a little imperceptible pleading, "Yiqing, you, wait for me, okay? "
Don't let others occupy your heart.
The room was very quiet, the windows were closed, and there was only a table lamp in the room at this moment. The shadows of the two of them were cast on the wall beside the bed by the light. Chen Zhuan lowered his head, as if kissing her.
After waiting for the sour feeling to sink from his heart, Sheng Yiqing replied for a long time:
"What about you, can you not go abroad?"
Chen Zhuan was stunned.
"Since you would rather divorce than go abroad, what qualifications do you have to ask me to wait for you?"
He was speechless.
"So, don't worry about whether I will be deceived by a man. If it is out of love, then don't leave. If it is out of the sense of responsibility of a husband and wife, then check it for me. Anyway, communication is so developed now, I will tell you about my new love at any time. "
As if she was worried that she would not piss him off to death, Sheng Yiqing raised her eyes and called him affectionately:
"Ex-husband~"
"...Huh?"
A commotion around her interrupted Chen Zhuan's heart attack. It turned out that their phones were vibrating, one after another, like a barrage of WeChat messages. They looked at each other and were puzzled:
No way? Come to work at this time? Or come at the same time?
After opening the dialog box, they were helpless. It would be better to work - they saw that they were pulled into the same group with a fresh name, called "Newlywed Couples Mutual Aid Group".
The creator was Qu Fanyi.
At this moment, there were already four or five couples in the group, all with couple avatars, and everyone was sending emoticons to fill the screen.
Chi Wei posted an announcement in the group: "Many people asked us before, is there a newlywed couple group? Today, we finally created one. Everyone in the group is our friend, with similar age, similar circle, and they have just been married for a short time. We can communicate well in the future and share resources. This week's activity is a Beijing suburbs hike, and everyone is welcome to sign up. "
Before she finished speaking, Qu Fanyi quickly sent seven or eight PDFs, named: Beijing Suburbs Tourism Options T1, 2, 3...
"Please review, family members."
Sheng Yiqing and Chen Zhuan looked at each other in astonishment. Before they could refuse, they saw another person in the group who seemed to be his wife, and quickly initiated a vote: "Everyone, please take a look at the alternative locations in the document and combine them with your own convenient time. Representatives of each family should try to submit their votes before 12 o'clock tonight. Thank you for your hard work!"
