The summer insects suddenly stopped screaming at this moment, and there was a full moon like white jade in the sky.
Qiu Mingyue was so surprised that she even stayed where she was.
I was standing on the top of the vault. I didn't feel it when I was walking all the way just now. When I stopped, my blood vessels dilated and my head was steaming.
Zhou Su walked down two steps more than him and looked back at her. The two of them were almost at eye level, which made Qiu Mingyue's whole body burn with fire. She explained to herself: "Well, Director, I That's not what I meant, I meant..."
"It's okay, I know, you might not believe it if I tell you."
"I don't believe it," Qiu Mingyue said anxiously, "I am..."
——Well, this is indeed hard to believe.
There were only two of them on the bridge. The dim night and the bright moonlight cast light and shadow on Zhou Su's body. He seemed to be a plaster statue melting into the darkness. Qiu Mingyue almost saw the fragile holy light on his body.
Although Zhou Xing seemed to be a person who had nothing to do with love - he only aroused the love of others, Qiu Mingyue never thought that he had never been in love.
How old is Zhou Su? Less than twenty-nine years old, never talked about...
But he wouldn't and had no reason to lie to her about such a thing.
"So is there a boy you like in high school?" Zhou Su changed the topic to her.
Qiu Mingyue was stunned and walked down the slope, almost walking on the same hand and on the same foot. She was embarrassed to assume that he had never been in love.
"...have."
"classmate?"
"...a senior."
"Are we together?"
"Yeah, but they broke up after the senior graduated." Qiu Mingyue laughed dryly.
By the way, does the puppy love in high school conflict with her image of an honest social animal in the workplace?
Forget it, I'm not the grade director,
"Director, so you really have never been in love?"
After asking this question frankly despite being embarrassed, Qiu Mingyue remembered that rainy afternoon a few weeks ago. Zhou Su told her that he hoped she would not be too restrained and communicate more with him.
She couldn't help but think a little bit wickedly, including the current exchange?
But unknowingly, they got really close, so close that she had the courage to ask him this.
"Yeah." Zhou Su smiled lightly, "Don't think I'm sick."
Qiu Mingyue originally had many problems, but she was instantly frightened by his self-deprecating words, "No, no, no! How could it be... There are many people who are not in love nowadays."
It may be that you have never met the person you love, you may have regretted it for the rest of your life if you missed it, or you may simply only talk about sex and not love.
Qiu Mingyue glanced at Zhou Xing's lower body. Just because she didn't have a relationship doesn't mean she didn't have sex...
He's not a virgin, is he?
As soon as this idea came up, Qiu Mingyue's whole body trembled, as if he had popped a mint popping bead in his mouth, and there was a secret little stimulation, obscene and happy.
"What's wrong, cold?"
"No." Qiu Mingyue waved her hands repeatedly, and asked thoughtfully, "Director, why haven't you talked about it? Is it because there is no suitable partner?"
Zhou Su's eyes looking at her were like the moon in the sky and the water under the bridge.
"My parents were very busy when I was a child, and I was raised by my grandparents." He said, "I never thought about it when I was studying. Over time, I got used to being alone."
Although Qiu Mingyue is not a single mother, she understands what Zhou, the "older leftover man", said.
The more you know yourself, the harder it is to understand others.
Therefore, there is a saying that true love only occurs in the student years. Qiu Mingyue does not agree with this statement, but the logic behind this statement is not unreasonable.
Once you build your own inner world in chaos, you stay behind closed doors and it becomes increasingly difficult to open your heart to new people.
"Director, but... there should be a girl who has confessed to you, right?" Qiu Mingyue asked.
The look on her face when she asked this question was earnestly seeking verification, just as her surprise just now came from the bottom of her heart. Zhou Su suddenly realized that he was stupid. He wanted to know more about Qiu Mingyue, like her first love, and what she liked about that senior. He also wanted Qiu Mingyue to understand him better, and wanted to talk to her more as "Zhou Su". If anything, it's not what he wants right now.
"Why do you say that?"
Qiu Mingyue sighed inwardly, feeling that Zhou Xing was worthy of being a leader. It was really difficult to talk about it. In just one sentence, he threw questions back to her that she didn't want to answer.
Because you are handsome and a good person. Although you have a cold temper, there are many girls like her who are good. However, after so many years, no one has succeeded in the strategy. Qiu Mingyue silently felt a kind of sadness like a rabbit dying and a fox dying.
"Because... Director, you are very good. You must have been a very good student when you were in school. Girls like top students." Qiu Mingyue replied half-seriously, "What I just mentioned That senior, I was in the same club as him at the time, and I added him as a friend just because I heard that he had good grades."
Zhou complained: "Did you chase him?"
Qiu Mingyue was stunned by Zhou Xingwen.
Doesn't it seem like that? But she seemed to be quite proactive back then... Her curiosity and impulse towards the opposite sex stirred up her innocent and childish heart. At that time, I really felt that love was a fun game and delicious food, with no burden or responsibility.
I really couldn't stop the handlebars of my youth as soon as I recalled it. I accidentally exposed too much, and it was too late to regret. Qiu Mingyue said with a smile: "It's not like I chased him...it was just me who chatted with him in the beginning. Well, we got to know each other as we chatted, but I wasn't the first to confess."
The ambiguity in high school was more transparent than paper soaked in water.
Qiu Mingyue sighed again: "Now that I am older, I no longer have that passion."
Zhou Su looked at her.
During the chat between Z and Lemon Yellow Star, Zhou Su had realized many times that Qiu Mingyue could stab him in the heart at any time, and many times it was him who was eager to verify an answer, exactly the same as now.
And then humiliate yourself.
But he gradually fell into decline. Although he was calm at the beginning and understood that the vague goodwill in him was destined to be fleeting, why was he still angry? Later, I silently accepted and evaluated myself.
Angry words may not always be true, but ordinary chats will not have the time to make perfunctory lies, so this is how Zhou Xing gradually understood his position in Qiu Mingyue: she currently likes him, Love his voice the most, but he doesn't matter.
Now he also knows that she has no passion for him. Presumably, it is precisely because she has no passion that she is even more unwilling to take risks and break the real working relationship.
Zhou Su knew very well and wanted to respect her choice, but he still felt that she might still like him quite a bit. If sexual desire can be converted into feelings, even if it is a 100% difference, do those sticky and wet words have enough weight?
As long as Qiu Mingyue wanted him, Zhou Xing felt that he still had some value.
The idea of having low self-esteem is ridiculous.
"Yes," he replied.
Qiu Mingyue immediately understood Zhou Su's subtext: someone had confessed to him, but he didn't like it.
She wondered if Zhou Xing's vision was as high as the sky.
After walking all the way, Qiu Mingyue felt very thirsty, but she still asked the last question: "Director, what type of girls do you like? I can help you keep an eye on it."
"Can you introduce it to me?"
Qiu Mingyue really wanted to use this pretense to trick Zhou Su, but when she really said "hmm", her heart felt a little dull. It was as if she was about to pass the real test but was not qualified to take the exam. She would never be able to introduce herself to Zhou Su, but she had known him for such a long time.
Zhou Su really wanted to describe everything about Qiu Mingyue, but at least tonight, at this moment, he was not ready, so he just spoke vaguely: "We can talk to each other, and we have common interests and hobbies."
To what extent is it considered possible to talk? Can they talk like this? Qiu Mingyue wanted to ask.
There are common interests and hobbies, "What common interests and hobbies?"
Zhou Su randomly picked a few popular hobbies: "Movies, music, sports, everything is fine."
Qiu Mingyue received the expected comment: "Many people have these hobbies."
Qiu Mingyue thought to herself that she liked watching movies and listening to music. Although she didn't like sports very much, she was good at table tennis and badminton.
As long as his requirements are lower, she can still say that she meets both conditions.
"Well, I know, so it doesn't mean that people who are easy to talk to and have common hobbies can become lovers. You can have many friends, but you can only have one lover. Plus, I don't think it's bad to be single, so if there is such a person because If a worthy opportunity arises, I will feel that it must be her, Mingyue."
This was almost the longest conversation Zhou Su had with her in private. Regarding his views on love, Qiu Mingyue was listening attentively, but her mood was ups and downs when her name was suddenly called, and she couldn't help but froze.
Qiu Mingyue gradually noticed that Zhou Su called her name in two different tones publicly and privately.
In the company, especially in meetings, he calls her by her name in a serious and serious manner, without any emotion. Ming is Ming, and the moon is moon. But when they are alone, he will lower his tone and open his pursed lips slightly. , the word "明" has a sexy nasal sound, and the word "月" ends in it, like a hook, pulling her away.
She stared at Zhou Su blankly. Although he was telling her these words, with her name, it was like a letter with someone to admire it, and every word became like a confession.
It was hot, and a drop of sweat slid down my back, itching.
The atmosphere suddenly changed slightly, Qiu Mingyue asked: "What is an opportunity?"
"Like, I realized we were the same kind of people."
"Ah..." Qiu Mingyue responded with a vague understanding.
Her community has arrived.
This is the third time Zhou Su has sent her home.
Qiu Mingyue strangely remembered the story of Dayu's three visits to the house without entering.
Opportunity, she muttered this word silently between her lips. It may be equivalent to the coincidence she likes. This is Zhou Su's version of the key to destiny. So do all nodes rely on nature or can the button be manually activated?
unknown.
The lemons and kumquats you buy should be washed and soaked with salt, then sliced and seeded, stewed with rock sugar, and finally cooled and refrigerated. It is a very simple step, but it is obviously more troublesome than buying the finished product directly in the store or replacing it with a bottle of cold beer. However, Qiu Mingyue likes the fresh taste when handling these Rutaceae fruits, so she will make jam many times in a summer. She would finish it well every time.
Except that one time, I forgot to put it back.
It's like standing in front of the 800-meter starting line, taking a deep breath in the last moments before the whistle blows.
"Director, do you want to come up and take a look at the flowers you gave me last time?"
Finally, it was said.
