"Can we eat first?" An Shengmei called out to her softly, "After you finish eating and sleep, don't think about anything else. Take a rest, organize your emotions, and then, you can deal with these troublesome matters."
"Yes." Chen Xiye nodded and sat down at the dining table to eat. She made a swallowing motion, and facing An Shengmei's gaze, she slowly focused, wiping away the tears at the corner of her eyes, and said self-deprecatingly: "As expected, as soon as someone treats you better, you start acting like a spoiled child. I'm still your assistant, and instead, you're the one who comforts me."
"Nope." An Shengmei bit her lips in pain, "Right now, we are not in the company, you and I are just friends."
Why did she know strong people who were forced to such a state? An Shengmei sighed lightly. Why did everyone have to suffer so much, like Tan Yizhe and her, who had to let down their expectations time and time again, and missed each and every one of them …
It was still snowing outside the window. Although the winter wasn't cold enough, it was enough to take away the temperature bit by bit. It really was too long.
"Dong, dong, dong."
After finishing her meal, An Shengmei was packing her things when she heard a knock on his door. Who was it that came so late? The two of them looked at each other, but Chen Xiye had already walked over. She looked at the cat eye, and opened the door in surprise.
"Is it Chen Ye?" Although he didn't want to say that name, it was already so late. Who else would want to find this place? He turned around and a large purple bouquet of flowers was presented to him. "Merry?" Christmas? in? Adverse! I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance! "
"December 25th?" An Shengmei received the flower, and looked at Gu Qingyan who was behind it, and half-joked, "Why did you send the lavender? I thought you were going to bring Rose back. "
"It's only December 15th, so I said early." Gu Qingyan shook his head and found a chair to sit on. It was obvious that he was a little tired, "I remember there was someone called An Di who said: 'As long as you go to Provence, you won't leave. Because there's something you want there. " "Shengmei, where did I go? But I came back because I didn't find what I wanted, no matter how beautiful the scenery is …"
He did not mention the open rivalry, nor did he mention how long he had been busy with this bunch of lavender. From taking it off to drying, and then back again, how to preserve the fragrance … Step by step, he didn't let anyone else take action. He only wanted to see a moment of joy from her.
He jumped over the arrangements at the end of the flight and returned here alone. He knew that he had started to be willful again, even though he had already made many arrangements before he left, but the moment he thought about how this heartless girl might forget about him, he started to grit his teeth in hatred. He was not lacking in partners for marriage, he only lacked An Shengmei.
An Shengmei did not say anything, she only lowered her head and avoided his gaze, "You're back, are you planning to stay?"
"No, I just came back to see you for the time being. I'm not done yet, at most I'll leave early tomorrow morning." Gu Qingyan's face suddenly turned bitter.
"Lavender is a dried flower, but it retains its fragrance and won't cause any problems with insects. It can also repel insects and can stay for a long time, but do your best not to touch the water or leave it in a moist place."
"Alright." An Shengmei found a vase and placed the flower on the table in the living room, "That company also has … "Diamond, I …"
"I didn't say that I would send you off." Gu Qingyan supported his cheeks, and looked at An Shengmei without blinking, and was also a little confused: "I'm only letting you keep it, and once I confirm my heart, or if you choose the right person, little girl, I will come back, so don't have any burdens, I will only keep it."
Gu Qingyan laughed, "Don't refuse, at least... Don't turn it down so quickly now. "
"I'm afraid I'll fail you, and I've already done it more than once." "I can't afford to be sincere, and I don't dare to be in love with her. Qing Yan, I'm afraid that if we have feelings for her, we might not even be friends."
"I'm leaving." Gu Qingyan looked at his watch and slowly stood up. When An Shengmei stood up, he lightly kissed her forehead, and without saying a word, he turned and left.
After he left, An Shengmei was still in a daze. Only after a long time did she slowly sit down.
Chen Xiye had already gone to the balcony to leave some space for them. She flung the phone in her hand and a drop of water unconsciously dripped from the balcony, falling into his collar. She couldn't help but cringe and heave a sigh of relief.
The phone in his hand suddenly rang and he almost threw it out. Luckily, he reacted at the last second. He glanced at the familiar number and quietly picked it up, but did not say anything.
"Little Ye." When she called out that name, her body became cold. She felt like crying, and she slowly squatted down. Tears were already gathering in her eyes, and her body began to tremble. It was not because of the cold, but because of fear …
Chen Xiye slowly curled up, not caring about the water that was frozen into ice on the balcony, her shoes were slowly getting wet, her hands and feet were ice-cold. She did not know how long she had been squatting there, until the phone screen had turned black.
She thought that if she wasn't afraid, she could look at him and say that it had been a long time.
However, she hadn't even met him face to face. Just hearing his voice made her unable to breathe. How could this be …
He did not dare look at them again, and pushed open the door, walking into the living room. He quickly adjusted his emotions, not wanting An Shengmei to worry about him.
The room had indeed warmed up quite a bit. The large vase on the table in the living room held the bundle of lavender. The entire room was filled with this kind of smell. It was not very pungent, but rather a light and rich fragrance.
"Is he gone?" Chen Xiye casually walked in, "I, a lowly assistant, do not dare to get involved with the former and current bosses. I am afraid that if I were to hear some trade secret, I would lose my job."
"You are the company's trump card assistant. There are so many companies poaching from the wall, who would dare to quit your position?" An Shengmei also laughed in return and ridiculed, and the two of them started laughing and joking together.
Chen Xiye looked at the large amount of lavender on the table, and suddenly remembered something. She turned her head and asked with interest, "An Shengmei, do you know the flowery language for lavender?"
An Shengmei thought for a while, but still could not remember, so she asked hesitantly, "Blessing?"
Looking somewhat pitifully at the bunch of lavender, Chen Xiye sighed, "There's a flowery saying, 'Love only needs to breath hard, to see a miracle' means to wait for love, and also the meaning of parting from death?"
