It was another busy night, and I had no time to guess what was on Guzheng's mind.
Now, I can see her as a normal friend, no longer depressed and restrained, and no longer have the mentality of escaping. I really hope that Guzheng can put down this wrong love and laugh it off.
Hu Zi was not there, and there was one less person in the restaurant. Unconsciously, his movements became much more efficient. Time passed quickly while he was busy. Although Guzheng said he would come over later, Guzheng didn't come until we were eating.
After dinner, I stood at the door to rest for a while.
He looked at the roadside and wondered when Guzheng would come.
There was not much wind tonight, and there was not much coolness in the night. Everyone walked out of the door and chatted casually.
I began to think about Ding Ge and Guzheng, who were a little strange today. They were both equally preoccupied. Could it have anything to do with their cooperation?
Although Ding Ge told me that it was a pleasant cooperation, who knows if there were any small flaws in it that made the two of them feel bad about each other.
Many times, the relationship between people in front of the interweaving of interests is the most fragile, even if it is a friend. Di Ming told me before that he was betrayed by his brother.
Could that be the reason?
I had been worried when the two of them worked together, because their relationship was too sensitive.
However, when I saw Ding Ge today, I felt that there was more sadness in her expression than worry and unhappiness.
Not long after, everyone greeted me and left one by one. I was the only one left in front of the restaurant. I walked a few steps forward and stood on the steps of the sidewalk, looking at the dim yellow street on my left.
At this time, there were fewer cars on the street, the environment was less noisy, and many shops had closed their doors, without the splendor of the first lights, only the lonely people were walking, and the streetlights that lit their way home.
I looked down at my own shadow, a little bored, I don't know if I should continue to wait?
But ever since I met Guzheng, she has always kept her word. I think since she said she would come, she would call me sooner or later, even if she didn't come.
After standing for a while, I felt a little cooler. Just as I was about to go back to the hotel, a taxi stopped by the side of the road and a girl got out of the car.
I froze for a moment. I didn't expect that the passenger walking from the taxi was Guzheng!
Today, Guzheng was only wearing her usual clothes, an orange long-sleeve and a pair of white skinny pants, and no makeup on her face. However, under the streetlight, she was still beautiful, but her face was a little pale.
I'm a little confused. Why didn't she drive over?
I waved at Guzheng, and Guzheng saw me. I frowned. I saw that her mood did not seem high. He looked worried.
Seeing her like this made me feel a little uncomfortable. Guzheng walked quietly to my side without saying anything. I whispered to her, "Let's go." Guzheng followed me into the restaurant.
"Have you eaten?" I asked Guzheng.
"Ah?" Guzheng looked up at me absent-mindedly before replying, "No."
"What's wrong with you?" I stopped and asked worriedly.
Ding Ge was a little abnormal, but Guzheng was even more abnormal than dinger.
"I'm fine." Guzheng replied softly, shaking her head.
I secretly sighed and said, "Sit here for a while. I'll make you something to eat. What do you want to eat?"
"Anything is fine." Guzheng replied, a little absent-minded.
Just as I turned around and left, Guzheng suddenly called out to me again, "Xing Yun."
I looked at Guzheng and she continued, "Just make a few small dishes."
"Okay."
I made four small dishes for Guzheng, two cold and two hot. I had already eaten them anyway. They were definitely enough for Guzheng. Looking at her now, I don't know how much she can eat.
After I served the food, I wanted to ask Guzheng if he wanted rice or noodles, but Guzheng said, "That's all. By the way, get another bottle of bar."
I initially refused, but seeing how depressed Guzheng was now, I stood up and brought Guzheng a bottle of beer.
Guzheng did not reach for it. She said faintly, "I want to drink white wine today."
"Ah?" I was startled, smiled and said, "What kind of white wine does a girl drink? Beer will do."
Guzheng has a bad tolerance for alcohol. It's just uncomfortable to drink too much. It's better to drink some beer.
But Guzheng didn't listen. She looked at me stubbornly, her eyes shining with a pleading light, and said, "Let me drink it once."
"Why do you have to drink white wine? Is beer different?" Seeing Guzheng like this also made me feel bad.
"The liquor is spicy. It's exciting!" Guzheng smiled and looked at me again, "Xing Yun, just get me a bottle."
"Haven't you been drunk before? You..."
I wanted to continue persuading Guzheng but interrupted me, "Xing Yun, maybe I won't get drunk again. Just let me drink it once! I promise I won't do anything bad like before..."
I didn't understand the first half of Guzheng's sentence, but the second half understood what she was referring to. She was embarrassed in front of me once when she was drunk, and kissed me once when she was drunk.
I'm really afraid of Guzheng drinking.
But looking into her eyes, I really didn't know how to say no. I was so conflicted for a moment that I gritted my teeth and went to the counter to get Guzheng a bottle of low alcohol and a glass.
I sat across from Guzheng and put the wine on the table.
Seeing that I didn't have chopsticks, Guzheng asked doubtfully, "Aren't you eating?"
"I just ate."
"Then you can eat whatever you want. Eat with me. I'm bored eating alone."
Guzheng's words made it impossible for me to answer. I took a pair of chopsticks and opened the wine for Guzheng. This time, without her talking, I also took a cup and poured some for myself. At the same time, I said to Guzheng, "I can't drink this bottle at most, okay?"
Guzheng nodded.
I wasn't thinking about drinking today, but I was afraid Guzheng wouldn't be able to hold it all by himself, so I'd better drink more. I'll drink half a bottle of wine, and Guzheng won't be able to handle it.
I picked up my chopsticks and asked Guzheng, "What's wrong with you? Do you look lost? Are you in such a bad state of mind?"
"Is there?"
Guzheng looked away and picked up a piece of meat to eat. Then she took a deep breath, spat it out, smiled at me and said, "Maybe it's because she's been in the company for too long that she's going to become as numb as they are."
"Really?" I stared at Guzheng for a far-fetched reason.
"Come on, let's have a toast." Guzheng raised his glass.
"For what?" I asked deliberately.
"For..." Guzheng didn't say it immediately. She thought about it and said, "We've known each other for almost a year, haven't we?"
I nodded. Indeed, Guzheng and I have known each other for almost a year. But I feel that I have known her for more than a year, and I can't tell why I feel this way. Maybe in less than a year, we haven't cultivated love, and we have a very deep friendship.
Guzheng and I touched our glasses lightly. Guzheng took a sip, and her face suddenly changed. Obviously, she couldn't stand the spiciness of white wine.
I pursed my lower lip and said, "Hurry up and order."
Guzheng took a few mouthfuls of food as I said, and my heart ached as I said, "If you can't stand it, drink beer, okay? Are you still trying to be strong in front of me?"
"I didn't try to be strong." Guzheng wiped his mouth with a napkin and said, "I can handle it!"
"Then tell me, what are you stimulated by?" I looked into Guzheng's eyes, trying to see something in them.
Guzheng smiled helplessly and said, "Do you really need conspiracy theories? How can I be stimulated? Every day, besides home, I am a company or a social event. Who doesn't know that I am the daughter of chairman gu? Everyone is polite to me. Who dares to disrespect me? I would like to be stimulated, but who dares to provoke me?"
Guzheng said a lot, and I could hear a lot of depression from her words.
Ah, I'm a little sad. She's the only daughter in the Guzheng family. I'm afraid she never thought of accepting the family business before, but now, her day is more tiring than a man's, and the burden of the family suddenly falls on her.
She could no longer be as free as a bird.
When you're tired, take a rest.
But for Guzheng, rest was too luxurious for her. She had a lot of things to do in a high position. I'm afraid she didn't have time to rest at all. She was taking the time to integrate herself into the company, and the heavy workload of studying every day was enough for her.
I sighed and said to Guzheng, "You haven't eaten yet. Hurry up and eat more."
Guzheng nodded a little touched, and she began to eat faster.
I casually picked up another topic and asked Guzheng, "Is the partnership between your company and Ding Ge company over?"
The reason I asked this question was to see Guzheng's reaction. After all, the most likely reason for both of them to be preoccupied at the same time was to cooperate.
Guzheng paused for a moment. She looked up at me and asked, "Ding Ge told you everything?"
"Yes."
"Well, yes, it's over."
Guzheng's voice sounded calm. After that, she exhaled a long breath and smiled.
It doesn't seem to be a question of cooperation?
I took a sip of the wine, and Ding Ge and Guzheng confused me. Did they hide something from me?
