11 -Â You are right in front of me.
There is a different kind of excitement on weekend nights.
Originally, Meng Yuange wanted to take Cheng Li to the bar with him. Meng Yuange had a very long-sleeved personality and could get along with everyone.
Especially after she became a financial reporter, she felt like a duck in water.
Cheng Li originally just went out to eat and relax, so she declined the bar.
Especially what happened last time she went to the bar, her scalp is numb with embarrassment even thinking about it.
Cheng Li and Meng Yuange separated and when they got in the car to go home, raindrops fell outside. They were small at first and then got bigger and bigger.
She was bored sitting in the car and took out her cell phone.
Click on WeChat and look at the picture of Rong Qi pinned to the top.
I wonder if I can send a WeChat message to ask when he will return to Shanghai?
But when I think about their relationship, it's not too familiar to say they are familiar.
Asking this seems a bit too abrupt.
After much thought, she decided to post on Moments to increase her presence.
ââ[End of Date]
The accompanying picture is a photo of her and Meng Yuange taken in a tavern tonight. They ate Japanese food tonight, with the warm and yellow decoration of a Japanese izakaya. The two of them tilted their heads and touched their faces. .
There are also Cheng Li's separate V photos.
Cheng Li rarely posts on WeChat Moments, sometimes not even one post a month.
Selfies are even rarer.
So I posted it to Moments, and soon the comments and likes came pouring in.
Many college classmates commented below.
Until the taxi arrived near her home, Cheng Li didn't see Rong Qi's profile picture in that circle of friends.
He definitely doesn't like to check Moments.
After getting off the car, Cheng Li found that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, but she didn't bring an umbrella.
I could only put my bag on my head and run towards home.
The rain in midsummer was fast and fierce, and the grand rain curtain covered the sky and the earth. There were no pedestrians on the street, and only the lights on the roadside were lit alone.
Raindrops hit Cheng Li's body. She was originally wearing a silk shirt, but now it was completely wet and stuck to her body.
The edges of her underwear were reflected in the wet fabric.
Cheng Li knew that she was embarrassed now, but she had no choice but to run home as soon as possible.
"Cheng Li."
Suddenly, a voice came from the dense drizzle.
Cheng Li subconsciously looked back, but there was no one behind her.
So she continued to bury her head and run forward again.
"Cheng Li."
It was said again, and this time she looked diagonally ahead, at the gate of the garden of the bungalow.
The two lamps at the door dimmed the dim yellow light in the rain, outlining the diagonal light and shadow of the rain.
A black umbrella appeared, raindrops fell on the umbrella, and small water flowers bloomed.
The umbrella was slightly raised, revealing half of Rong Qi's face, suddenly appearing in front of her in the rain.
As he walked towards her step by step.
The surrounding scenes seemed to have been deliberately slowed down, like an old movie that had been rendered.
Until Cheng Li couldn't feel the raindrops hitting her face, she was already standing under the umbrella.
"I called you, didn't you hear me?"
For some reason, Cheng Li suddenly felt that Rong Qi's voice was not as cold as he imagined.
She apologized slightly: "I'm sorry, I don't wear glasses, my eyesight is not very good."
Cheng Li is short-sighted, but she is not used to wearing glasses when she is not working.
I am even too lazy to wear contact lenses.
Rong Qi stared at her with dark eyes and sneered for no reason: "The eyes are indeed bad enough."
Cheng Li blinked, why did this sound so strange.
But then Rong Qi handed the umbrella handle to her hand and whispered: "Take it."
Cheng Li caught it. The umbrella handle was very warm, the remaining warmth after holding it in his hand.
She held it gently with her cold fingers, and the warmth spread along the umbrella handle to her fingertips.
Suddenly, the distance between the two was suddenly shortened, and Rong Qi approached her.
She pursed her lips slightly and restrained her subconscious urge to step back.
The next second, her body seemed to be wrapped in a ball of warmth, and Rong Qi's coat was draped over her body.
"Do you mind?" Rong Qi held up his sleeves and asked in a low voice.
Cheng Li raised her head: "Huh?"
At the moment when she was confused, Rong Qi pinched the cuffs of his suit and wiped the mist on her eyelids.
"Wipe it clean, your eyes should look better."
As he spoke calmly, Cheng Li was shocked and came back to her senses.
Cheng Li defended herself: "I just didn't see you because I wasn't wearing glasses."
After hearing her explanation, Rong Qi snorted again.
Cheng Li felt that she had just seen someone shouting twice, which was indeed a mistake.
So he calmed down and stopped arguing.
The heavy rain has not stopped yet, but is getting heavier and heavier. The water vapor is filling the air and shrouding the whole world in haze. Cars speed by on the roadside, splashing huge water splashes, and then only leaving a blurry afterimage.
The two of them stood under this huge umbrella, like a small world, completely isolated from the rain and fog.
Rong Qi lowered his black eyes and suddenly asked: "Then do you see me now?"
For some reason, Cheng Li felt that his voice was so distant and long even though he was standing right in front of her.
It seemed to be accompanied by a gentle echo along with the sound of rain all around.
This question is inexplicably strange.
Cheng Li said without hesitation: "Of course I saw it."
Perhaps it was because of the gentleness of the midsummer night rain and Cheng Li's poor sensibility that she suddenly burst out for no reason.
"You are right in front of me."
The sound of rain was still lingering around. After Cheng Li finished speaking, the two of them fell into silence at the same time.
They were just standing under the umbrella, so close that even their breaths were entangled.
Such an atmosphere made Cheng Li want to say something.
But under the chaotic thoughts, her mind was also blank.
She is not the kind of person who is always good at dancing and can handle all difficulties.
"You want to stand here and accompany me in the rain?"
Rong Qi's voice suddenly sounded in the drizzle, making Cheng Li look up at him in surprise.
These words suddenly reminded Cheng Li.
She nodded as if she had just woken up from a dream: "Yes, let's go home quickly."
As soon as she finished speaking, Rong Qi looked over with lowered eyes, and their eyes collided under the umbrella.
So after he raised his eyes slightly, Cheng Li suddenly realized how ambiguous what he said was.
Cheng Li, think before you speak! ! !
She silently warned herself in her heart.
"I mean, it's raining really hard. Let's go back to our homes quickly," Cheng Li made up for herself.
If she only thought Rong Qi was an ordinary high school classmate, it would be okay if she said such things.
But now in Rong Qi's heart, she is someone who covets him so much that he might think that he said such words on purpose.
Stop it! Stop it!
Cheng Li quickly stopped her random thoughts because she quickly realized another problem.
Now they only have one umbrella. If Cheng Li borrows this umbrella to go home, Rong Qi will have to go back in the rain.
Although the small bungalow is right in front, when I walk back, I am afraid that my short sleeves will get soaked.
So Cheng Li took the initiative and said, "How about I take you home first, and then you lend me your umbrella to go home."
In this way, no one would have to get wet in the rain.
Perfect solution!
Rong Qi lowered his head and looked at her expression, and said leisurely: "I'm afraid not."
Cheng Li: "??"
Then why did you stop me?
To show a person who is caught in the rain that you have an umbrella?
But when she moved and felt the coat on her body, she quickly calmed down her emotions. After all, she was still wearing someone else's clothes at this moment.
You can't be a white-eyed wolf.
"I'm sorry, it's my home," Rong Qi said slowly, "It's just this umbrella, if I lend it to you, it's gone."
Cheng Li nodded silently.
OK.
This reason is sufficient, real and reasonable.
"Then I'll start..." Cheng Li heard that everyone was talking about this, so naturally he couldn't borrow any more umbrellas, so he was ready to say goodbye and go home.
"But I can take you back."
Before she could finish her words, a man's voice interrupted her.
Cheng Li: "..."
Before speechlessness became her native language, Rong Qi had already reached out and took the umbrella in her hand.
"Let's go."
Just like that, Cheng Li followed him and walked towards his home.
The two walked side by side under the umbrella. The street lights were reflected in the accumulated water on the ground. The raindrops fell and the light and shadow were broken.
Along the way, the two of them didn't speak much.
It wasn't until they entered the community that Cheng Li said, "Turn left ahead and you'll reach my house."
"Yeah."
But before Cheng Li spoke, Rong Qi had already taken steps to walk to the left.
When she arrived at the door of the unit, Cheng Li raised her head and glanced upstairs. Logically speaking, if someone sent her back, she should at least invite him up for a drink of water.
"It's too late today. You should go home and rest early."
Instead, Rong Qi spoke first.
Cheng Li glanced at him, was she afraid that she would invite him to preemptively strike?
"It's really too late. If I could just ask you to come up and sit down," Cheng Li smiled. Suddenly she thought of something and pointed to the clothes she was wearing: "This clothes..."
"I'll take it back first." Cheng Li asked for his opinion.
After all, if you wear someone else's clothes, you have to wash them before returning them to him, just like the slippers last time.
Rong Qi nodded understandingly and said in a calm tone: "Just right, keep it and return it to me next time."
Cheng Li: "..."
No.
How did she get the meaning from his words, "I knew you were trying to create opportunities to meet me."
On second thought, Cheng Li thought, although she said this, she didn't mean it.
But isn't this the actual effect we want to achieve?
He didn't think he had wronged himself this time.
So Cheng Li had the idea of ââââjoining if she couldn't beat him.
"Okay, I'll give it back to you after I clean it."
This time, Cheng Li stood there and watched Rong Qi leave.
It wasn't until his back disappeared into the rain that she turned around, opened the unit door, and walked in.
After arriving home, Cheng Li entered the room.
She took off her coat and found that the clothes were not exposed to rain as expected. Even the sleeves, which were most likely to get wet, were fresh and refreshing.
Cheng Li stared at the clothes for a long time until she was lost in thought.
"Why is it Monday again?" After Cheng Li was woken up, she walked to the living room, still very sleepy.
Ling Shuanghua reminded: "You should move quickly, otherwise you will be late."
Cheng Li looked at the time, carried her bag and went to the door to change shoes.
"Don't want to eat?" Cheng Dingbo saw her like this and chased after her and asked.
Cheng Li: "If you don't want to eat, it's too late."
Cheng Dingbo hurriedly caught up and gave her a box of milk: "Drink it on the way to cushion your stomach. How can you do it without eating in the morning."
Cheng Li didn't refuse, took the milk, Open the door and leave the house.
On the way out of the community to the subway station, Cheng Li walked to the garden of the bungalow and saw the Maybach parked at the door.
The driver who picked her up that day was sitting in the driver's seat.
Apparently waiting to receive Rong Qi.
Sure enough, Cheng Li looked in through the garden fence of the bungalow and saw Rong Qi pushing the door open and walking out.
However, Grandma Xiang followed him and seemed to give some advice, but he shook his head.
"Good morning," Cheng Li waited a moment and took the initiative to say hello.
Rong Qi pursed his lips slightly: "Morning."
Cheng Li thought for a moment and asked politely: "Have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet."
Rong Qi glanced at the milk in her hand.
Cheng Li was startled and handed over the milk: "How can you skip breakfast in the morning? I'll give you the milk to cushion your stomach."
Before Rong Qi could refuse, she put it directly into his hand, waved her hand and ran away. .
She was also in a hurry to catch the subway.
Rong Qi got in the car. He held the milk in his hand and stared at it for a long time.
The driver in the driving seat suddenly said, "Mr. Rong, was that Miss Cheng just now?"
The driver had just picked up Cheng Li once before and was deeply impressed by her.
"Yeah."
Rong Qi responded in a low voice, but in the end he didn't put the milk down and still held it in his hand.
"Miss Cheng, I really care about you." The driver started the car and said with a smile.
Rong Qi put his arm against the person beside him and raised his dark eyes, the ends of his eyes slightly raised: "You feel it?"
The driver didn't look back, but obviously noticed that he was in a good mood, so he nodded obediently: "Of course." "
Then she It's really obvious."
Rong Qi turned to look out the car window, seeming to be pleased by what he said and couldn't help but chuckle.
Until noon, the carton of milk was placed in the most conspicuous position on the table in Rong Qi's office.
Several subordinates who came in to see him couldn't help but glance at the carton of milk.
Internet companies love to work overtime, and unlimited coffee is always provided within the company.
Almost everyone has an American ice cream in their hands.
Rong Qi used to always have coffee in his hands, but now he has changed his health regimen?
It even prompted someone to search for this brand of milk.
Ordinary supermarkets carry brands with average prices, and online reviews are just okay.
Maybe Mr. Rong has a special liking for this brand.
