When Guan Xin came out of Mei Da"s company, it was dark and looked like a doomsday. It was a heavy thunderstorm. She wrinkled her brow, and thought how will she get back to the company. She went to this Mei Da"s company, which was located at quite remote area, for delivering a manual book and test sample of electronic foot ma.s.sage for new client. Because the company was too far from city center, it cost around 65 Yuan to take a taxi so it was quite inconvenient for her. It was raining heavily now, she had no umbrella so she ponder on ways to get back to the company.
After thinking for a while, she ran to the nearest convenience store to buy a 20 Yen umbrella, and waited in front of convenience for a taxi. However after about 30 minutes of waiting, there was no even a taxi pa.s.sed by.
When she was worried, a white Bentley car slowly slow down, and stopped at the front of her. She was puzzled for a while, she tried to make out who is the driver, but it was difficult to identify who was driver because of the raindrops covered the window. Then the window of the car was lowered, deep low voice called her name "Xin Mu", only then she could recognized the driver, it was Xia Yu.
It"s been a long time since their last meeting, since he rejected Guan Xin Mu, they never got in touch again.
"Where are you going?" Xia Yu laughed and he pointed to his car, "Let me send you off."
Looking that there was no sign of the rain will stop soon, her wet clothes and shoes, and the umbrella that kept on swaying, she didn"t know whether to accept it or not. When she still hesitated, Xia Yu spoke again: "Get in the car, you can"t get any taxi here."
In this bad weather, it was a waste of effort and time to keep on waiting for a taxi to pa.s.s by so Guan Xin Mu thought about it and afterwards she got in the car, and said her thanks to Xia Yu. Then, she told him her company address.
Xia Yu told her that he was just finished attending an invest meeting, because of the heavy rainstorm, he drove the car in slow speed, then he looked at her standing in the roadside. In the beginning he thought he recognized a wrong person as her, but when he drove closer it was her.
"The life after marriage is happy, right." Xia Yu started to drive in steady speed, started to chat about their ordinary life.
"It"s not bad." Guan Xin Mu laughed.
Their chat was quite smooth, when Guan Xin Mu chatted Xia Yu, she thought it will be an awkward chat. However, turns out it was a quite easy going chat, maybe it because Xia Yu all along was a gentle style kind of man, who will not allowed a woman feel awkward and uncomfortable.
Guan Xin Mu knew Xia Yu since she was 13 years old. In her long adolescence year, Xia Yu always acted as her big brother, he was very outstanding, his study and sport subject were really excellent. He was really mature, generous, optimistic, and really good at take care of people. Thus, that time she really like to follow him. She often took her mathematic homework to him to let him teach her. She still remember she also had beg him to imitate the her parent signature when she got a bad score in test. Xia Yu has dominated the important part and memory of her youth. She liked him, liked him for a long long time, but she never a gut to confess, because in the bottom of heart, she knew that she didn"t really deserve him. She was afraid that when she confessed and got rejected, it will break their relationship. Therefore, she always buried her love deeply.
Later, he went abroad, she wrote a lot of letters for him, but he never replied. But she still persistently non stop to write it…. When he returned, she finally had a courage to confess to him, then he rejected her with a cliche sentence "I always look as my sister, you deserve better than me."
After being rejected she felt sad for several days, then she was back as normal as a vigorous and lively woman. She felt the life still beautiful as before, perhaps it"s because she is optimistic and didn"t look it as a difficult situation, or maybe in her subconscious mind she has recognized that Xia Yu was more suitable to be his big brother.
"Are you cold?" Xia Yu looked at Guan Xin mu"s hand very little goose b.u.mps, so he turn up the temperature.
He still that attentive, that considerate, that able to take care of people, however he always act like this toward everyone. Guan Xin Mu cast a glance to him, her heart didn"t have any beating heart and that hot emotion toward him. Actually from the beginning, she went to confession that day, she had antic.i.p.ated what will be the result, because from Xia Yu"s eyes expression. Toward her, Xia Yu always gentle and polite, but they were not really intimate.They never had an intimate talk, and he never talked about his problems and worry. So it all proved that he never had a special feeling toward her. She confessed, in fact, was only for fulfilling her years of wish so she will not have any regret.
When the car reached the city center"s highway, the traffic clearly was not that smooth as before, it was a bit of traffic. Xia Yu suddenly looked at stores and pedestrian on the roadside, he slightly laughed and pointed to one bright decorated shop, and said to Guan Xin Mu: "Red bean pancake, I remember it was your favorite place to buy it. It was obviously there was also one red bean pancake shop opened near the school, but you stubbornly prefer this shop as you said the flavor was authentic here. Every time no matter how far is it to go here, you will run to here to line up."
Guan Xin Mu gazed to that red bean pancake shop, she surprised that the once a shabby shop has transformed into a different style. The familiar flavor of the pancake suddenly appeared in the tip of her tongue, and said: "Because this red bean pancake here was made fine and meticulous, it was not really sweet. A lot of different shop didn"t spread the red bean well, so it was really too sweet when you take a bite. Therefore, this shop made the best red bean pancake.
Xia Yu seized the opportunity and mentioned about several different kind of Guan Xin Mu"s past ugly incidents, for example, skipped the cla.s.s, cheated on the exam. Guan Xin Mu laughed, the atmosphere around them was clearly relaxed and milder.
When the car arrived at her company, it was already 4.15 pm. The rain had stopped, the whole world clearly looked especially clean and bright. Guan Xin Mu thanked Xia Yu then got off the car. When she had a few steps, from her back, Xia Yu called her: "You dropped your things."
Guan Xin Mu turned her head, on Xia Yu"s hand was her lip balm. She lowered her head and looked at her bag, it was indeed a carelessness, she didn"t zip her bag well. She immediately went to his front, and took the lip balm from him. When she was taken the lip balm, naturally she touched Xia Yu"s arm finger. The time she laughed and thanked him again, she realized Xia Yu was looking at someone behind her. She rapidly turned her body to take a look, unexpectedly she saw Fei Jun stood behind her. Her first response was rubbed her eyes, to ensure herself didn"t look wrongly.
Fei Jun wore formal suit with an out of the ordinary imposing manner, his whole body emitted cold biting aura. He swiftly came forward, his hand conveniently pulled her waist to bring her to his embrace. She felt something was a little bit fishy, because Fei Jun tightly hugged her made her whole body forced to stick closely in his embrace until it look there was no s.p.a.ce between them.
"Xin Mu, this is…?" Fei Jun slightly smiled, lowered his head to Guan Xin Mu.
Don"t know was it her illusion, the time when Fei Jun said her name, it sounded especially tender, he never be that gentle to her.
Guan Xin Mu immediately introduced both of them.
Fei Jun nodded his head, Xia Yu also smiled and immediately looked at his wrist watch, then said to go first as he still some matter to be done, and to get in touch later on.
"Big brother Xia, b…."
Not yet finished the sentence, Fei Jun already lifted her to his Bugatti car like lifted a little bird, frowned and said: "Why you are in his car?"
Guan Xin Mu did a simple gesture.
"Do you know you can not casually get in into a man"s car?" His both hands encircled Guan Xin Mu"s who was leaned on the car, his eyes looked sharped, and his voice sounded serious.
"He is my big brother Xia, I know him since I was 13 years old. What you are saying is ridiculous." Guan Xin Mu looked at him. She couldn"t help herself to stretch out her finger to smooth down his frowning brows, "Don"t be jealous."
"I"m jealous?" Fei Jun denied without demur, "My entire life, I don"t know what is jealousy."
"It is clear that you are jealous."
Fei Jun looked disdainfully toward Guan Xin Mu, slowly said: "I advise you not be too self-centered."
When Guan Xin Mu about to respond back, Fei Jun already patted her head, he told her: "Tomorrow I will go on to a business trip for three days, today I finished my job early. Because your company was on the way, so at the same time I come to pick you."
"I still have 30 minutes before I can get off the work." Guan Xin Mu said
"I will wait for you on the coffee shop across the street."
At 5 o"clock, Guan Xin Mu rushed out the company, she b.u.mped Xu Shuai"s shoulder when she ran toward the elevator, and it startled Xu Shuai: "Are you rushing to reincarnation? What is going on?"
Guan Xin Mu entered the coffee shop, at the first glance around the shop, she right away caught a sight of Fei Jun. She couldn"t help to admit he stood out from other people. This moment, he was reading a magazine, in front of him, was placed a gla.s.s of water. Guan Xin Mu came over hurriedly, and threw her handbag to the sofa. She sat down and said: "I"m so hungry, I wanted to eat curry beef rice." She signaled the waiter to order, when she was about to order the curry beef rice, Fei Jun opened his mouth: "A plate of cold beef steak, six degree cooked, and plate of vegetable stew rice."
"I want to eat curry beef rice." Guan Xin Mu protested, "Why you order vegetable stew rice for me?" She hates to eat small cuc.u.mber and onions.
"These days you are coughing, you cannot eat spicy hot food." Fei Jun closed the menu, and returned it back to the waiter, "That"s all."
The waiter left them, Guan Xin Mu immediately didn"t have any appet.i.te, she took out her phone to open Weibo. Once in a while, she raised her eyes to look at Fei Jun, he still concentrated with business magazine. She suddenly he looked so handsome from this angle, so she took her handphone to take photo of him secretly. Just in time he lifted his head, his face looked handsome.
"I don"t mind that you really admire me." Fei Jun put down his magazine, he crooked his mouth up.
Guan Xin Mu did a vomiting posture.
The vegetable stew rice was completely bland, Guan Xin Mu had no appet.i.te, she weakly stuffed in her mouth with a small bite, leisurely she asked him: "Tomorrow you will go to business trip?"
"Right." Fei Jun ate the delicious steak, "3 days."
"So these 3 days, I can not to meet you?" Guan Xin Mu pretended to be surprise, she on one side ate, and on the other side she secretly took her fork and move it toward Fei Jun"s plate, attempted to steal one slice of beef steak.
Fei Jun just gazed at her, and didn"t say anything.
When they went out of the coffee shop, at the entrance door there was a a female college student sold a basket full of plastic rose. She looked at the tall Fei Jun and the one followed him at the back, Guan Xin Mu. She immediately moved in front of him, politely said to him: "Mister, buy a flower for your girlfriend, these was a handmade flower, just 2 yuan for a flower." The female student looked a young and inexperienced, she talked very careful. She wore a dirty sneakers, a skirt below her knees and it was a few bruises on her knees.
Without demur, Fei Jun fished out the wallet, took out several banknote, with his deep voice said: "I buy it all."
Guan Xin Mu looked flabbergasted. This female student was happy and repeatedly said thank you to them. Fei Jun took the basket of plastic rose, dimly said, "Don"t mention it.", pulled Guan Xin Mu to go.
"Fei Jun, you are quite to be tender and have protective feeling other s.e.x ya, looking at the beautiful girl, then you buy it all?" Guan Xin Mu said.
Fei Jun didn"t express any opinion: "Plastic rose can be saved for a long time, it was not a loss to buy it."
"It"s because of that girls is beautiful right." Guan Xin Mu laughed at him, "If it was an old grandma let you buy it, will you buy it?"
Fei Jun looked like he was in a deep thinking for a while, then cooly answered: "Will not."
"You are someone who look only at appearance, all man is like this emphasized on appearance." Guan Xin Mu concluded.
But it couldn"t be help but to say the plastic rose really beautiful, it was meticulously made, and looked like a real one. Guan Xin Mu planned to put in the vase at home, imagined how beautiful it will look in the living room.
Because Fei Jun planned to have a three-days business meeting, he took out a card from the wallet and gave it to Guan Xin Mu, and took some cash and gave it to her, with a bit joking att.i.tude, he said: "These days when I"m not here, you need to take care of yourself.Don"t starve yourself."
Guan Xin Mu received the money happily, hummed: "You really see me as a child."
Fei Jun dismissed looked at Guan Xin Mu"s chest: "You are a kid with genuine good at fair prices."
Guan Xin Mu was mad and immediately raised up her body.
Previously, she wanted to help Fei Jun to pack up his suitcase, but it appeared Fei Jun didn"t appreciate her kindness, complained that she was too slow, and not really neat. He forcefully took the suitcase, and just about 20 minutes, he was done with the packing. Guan Xin Mu looked surprised, he explained: "From the time was studying abroad in England, that time I like to run around different countries, so I was used to it."
Guan Xin Mu immediately felt herself to be somewhat lacking, Fei Jun can earn money, cook, washes dishes, can pack his own suitcase, then what is her capability to help him? Could it be she can only warm the bed?
When Fei Jun took a bath, Guan Xin Mu once again took his suitcase and stuffed in several fruits, conveniently helped him to charge his phone. Accidentally she pressed a b.u.t.ton, and it appeared a list of contacts. Guan Xin Mu startled, to catch a sight of a contact with a name Lao Po (老婆/wife), it was clearly not her mobile phone number. Her eyes was on fire, "Fei Jun, you are surely have a big guts! You still have another wife!"
Without say anything, she dialed the number, expected to hear a cute female voice. Who knows ringtone was rang for a few times, a simple and honest voice of male heard, brightly laughed: "Chief Fei, what can I do for you?"
Guan Xin Mu remained quiet, immediately with a soft voice said: "e, excuse me may I ask, who are you?"
"You are?" The receiving party didn"t expected the call from Fei Jun to be from a female, he laughed again, seriously asked, "I am Po Cheng Jun, who are you?"
Po Cheng Jun! Unexpectedly, there was someone with a surname Po? Guan Xin Mu stunned, hurriedly apologized: "a, I am Mrs Fei, I"m sorry, I accidentally pushed the wrong b.u.t.ton…. That"s all, bye bye." She hurriedly hung up the phone.
