Chapter 450 Forty-ninth bowl of soup (three & four)(1/2)
Although he participated in employee activities, with Cheng Qing's personality and usual image, no one dared to chat or talk to him. Everyone felt that he was keeping people from thousands of miles away, so he did not dare to get close, nor did he think about getting close.
Cheng Qing's existence was a little embarrassed. He couldn't integrate into the employees and played barbecue with everyone, and secondly, he was there, and the employees couldn't let go. They were even careful when they talked and walked. Those who knew that this was coming for a picnic, and those who didn't know thought that they were coming to an open-air meeting.
Even if Cheng Qing didn't feel embarrassed, he could still draw information from other people's actions and expressions that made them very restrained. He frowned slightly. He came for a picnic today, and he didn't even drive the bus he had booked by the company. It was not easy to call a taxi here.
I originally wanted to be more friendly to the people, but I didn't expect it to be like this in the end.
Just as Cheng Qing was thinking about how to leave, cindy came over. There were a few gray marks on her face, as dirty as a kitten. Every time Cheng Qing saw her, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, either because of other things, or because of her eyes. It was clean that he always reminded him of the cat he had raised. Unfortunately, the kitten had not grown up when he left, so whenever he stared at cindy, Cheng Qing felt familiar.
Therefore, he was much gentler to her than others. Even after so long together, the two of them were considered good friends.
Cindy is beautiful, lively, optimistic and cheerful, and is very popular among everyone. Although she is a newcomer, she is good at doing things and considerate. She basically cannot find her shortcomings. There are many people who like her in the company and many pursuers. She can be said to be the goddess of most unmarried male employees.
How many people followed her and pursued her unmoved, but they fell in love with the CEO of Big Ice. This makes people feel that the world is full of sadness: In general, it’s just a look at her face. As expected, handsome guys and beautiful women are just a couple. Do you have to stand aside if you are ugly?
Isn’t the CEO and cindy just in an ambiguous period? Every time I see the CEO cindy’s blushing face, I know that, I have a heart bento every day, have lunch together at noon, and if the CEO works overtime at night, I will send cindy home. What is this not a boyfriend or girlfriend? But these two people seem to rarely make intimate actions when there are outsiders, and I don’t know if cindy is shy or the CEO is unwilling to do so.
In short, it is hard to imagine that a person like the CEO will have a girlfriend, which makes people surprised to think about it. But if you think about it carefully, it feels normal. Most girls may not be worthy of it, but cindy is very good at standing with him. Therefore, for these two people, everyone has a blessing mentality.
Cindy held the grilled skewers in her hand and put them on a white paper plate. She first squatted down beside Cheng Qing, then picked up a chicken wing and took a bite, and said, "You don't like spicy food, so I only brushed a little chili sauce. After all, the barbecue is not delicious if it's spicy. Try it quickly, I'll bake it myself."
Cheng Qing looked at the plate, reached out to take a mutton skewer, bit a piece, and looked a little strange after chewing it for a few times, but she didn't say anything, but silently finished the mutton skewer. After taking a few bites, cindy stuck out her tongue: "It doesn't seem to be delicious, I'm not good at making this." She carefully observed Cheng Qing's expression. "Ah... isn't it delicious?"
"No." Cheng Qing shook her head. "It's not bad." It's just that she is far inferior to her usual cooking skills, but it's not unpalatable, at least it's cooked thoroughly.
Cindy stuck out her tongue: "I didn't have a chance to have a picnic before. This is the first time I joined the company, so I'm a little nervous." She smiled, scratched her head, and slowly ate up the barbecue plate with Cheng Qing.
Cheng Qing looked at the following table and said, "It's half past eleven."
"Ah? So fast?" cindy was stunned for a moment, and took out her cell phone to take a look. Cheng Qing noticed that a cute little pendant was tied to her phone. The pendant was very delicate and made her look very childish.
He was losing his mind, and cindy suggested, "Then we'll go back first, you'll definitely not find where to call a taxi."
"I'll just go back alone, you can stay and play." Cheng Qing didn't want to bother her. It was rare to come out to play with her colleagues at once. If he went home halfway, it would be really not good to say it.
Cindy didn't care: "It's okay, I paid the picnic fee this time, and I'm not the initiator, even if I'm not here, it's nothing." She found her own bag and carried it, "You always send me home, so I'll send you once this time?"
Cheng Qing looked at her quietly, and a smile rose slightly from the corner of her mouth: "Okay."
After talking to the person in charge, cindy took Cheng Qing away. It was not far from this grassland to a place with cars, but he had to go around everywhere. When he came, Cheng Qing didn't remember the route much, so now he could only follow cindy.
After taking a taxi, Cheng Qing sat in the car and looked at the sky outside. The weather is very good today, and the world is different from the Forgetful River.
The Wangchuan River is pitch black, and even if you climb out of the Wangchuan and walk up, what will happen to him be dark. The past is pitch black, and there is no five fingers in the future. Only the present, but how many people can catch it now? How many people have entered the Wangchuan and never come out again. They either completely lose their minds and become crazy, or are swallowed by cruelty, and even the fragments of their souls will not be left behind. All of this is different from now.
While living, you can breathe fresh air and meet many people, good people, bad people, men, women, people you like, people you hate...
Cheng Qing looked at cindy beside him. cindy fell asleep because he was nodding in the car, bit by bit like a chicken pecking rice. The driver in front accidentally saw Cheng Qing's eyes from the rearview mirror, and saw him take off his coat and put it on his shoulder, then let cindy lean on him, and joked: "This gentleman really loves his girlfriend. My daughter is about the same age as this lady. She just had a boyfriend, alas."
"Why are you sighing?" Cheng Qing asked softly, and chatted with the driver with great shame.
"Her boyfriend said he was the supervisor of a company, with a high salary and good appearance. He looked at his conversation and temperament, but he was not considerate." The driver continued to sigh. "Now boys don't know what kind of consideration means. They play games every day after get off work, but I'm so worried about my old father-in-law."
Cheng Qing smiled: "I don't play games."
"It's good not to play games. The couple quarreled a lot about playing games."
Cheng Qing smiled but said nothing, and looked out the window again. The signposts and pedestrians had faded back at a rapid speed, but he didn't know what he saw.
It's like... I saw everything, but I didn't remember anything.
Why is this happening?
He himself couldn't understand what he was thinking. So far, he didn't know what the real Cheng Qing wanted. While he was powerless, he would toss and turn and think. Is his step-by-step life now considered a task in progress? He once tried to call Mo Ze in his heart, but the child who always responded to him immediately did not tell him what the real Cheng Qing wanted.
What can you grasp with such a pair of hands?
What can be caught?
Can his heart be saved even if he grasps someone or something? Can his soul be liberated? Cheng Qing didn't know, so he could only choose to continue moving forward, complete the tasks of this world, return to his life, and then-
Then what to do?
He didn't know again.
Even if he met these beautiful people, he could not stay for them. Cheng Qing stroked his forehead and sighed. As a result, he didn't wake up when he arrived at cindy. The driver wanted to wake up cindy, but was stopped by Cheng Qing: "Just stop here, I will pay your fare according to the time."
Such good things fall from the sky, but they are fools if they don’t take advantage of them, so the driver happily agreed. Cheng Qing sat down and waited until cindy woke up.
When she woke up, her face was covered with traces, red and red. Cindy herself noticed it. She felt embarrassed after touching her. This time she was embarrassed to see Cheng Qing. However, Cheng Qing just smiled slightly: "Okay, let's get off the car."
After getting off the car, cindy realized that this was her own home. She was stunned for a moment, and Cheng Qing said to her: "Go home to clean up and take a shower, it's time for me to go back."
He turned around and walked two steps, but for some reason cindy grabbed his hand. Cheng Qing looked down and then frowned slightly. cindy suddenly realized that he was too abrupt. After all, the two of them are just friends now. She bit her lip and asked, "You...you go back by yourself, isn't it okay?"
Cheng Qing thought she asked strangely: "...what's wrong?"
"I just think you don't look very happy." Cindy looked straight into his eyes. "I don't know what you are worried about, but I want to tell you that everything will pass, and it's good to get through this period of time."
Cheng Qing felt that her words made sense and nodded and said, "Okay, I remember."
After experiencing those worlds, he was very willing to open his heart to beautiful people, so in the face of cindy's kindness, he smiled. This smile was different from before, and was particularly gentle. cindy was shocked by the laughter. She clenched her hands into fists nervously, and didn't know what to say to Cheng Qing, and her face was red. Fortunately, Cheng Qing didn't say anything, but just got in the car and said goodbye to her.
“Goodbye.”
Wave your hands and stand in place until the taxi disappears from sight.
When Cheng Qing returned home, he was the only one who was quiet in the huge house. He sat in front of the window of the study and looked out from here and there was a blue sky.
The weather is very good.
The wind is very fresh.
The white clouds are soft and the sun is warm.
But Cheng Qing just couldn't lift it, and he couldn't lift it up at all. I don't know how long he had been sitting until the night fell, and then his phone prompted a new message. Cheng Qing looked down and it was cindy reminding him to remember to have dinner.
It seemed as if she knew he would forget it. Cheng Qing smiled, felt a little warm, and got up and went to the kitchen, making lunch for himself like every night in the past. He seemed to have used up all his feelings in the first few worlds. He clearly thought he had learned to love again, but now he actually felt that he had been hollowed out. Not only love, but also heart.
He thought the love he learned was endless and would never stop, but now it seemed that it was a rebirth. He should have known that the ghost who fell into Forgetful River could not be able to survive again.
Even if you possess the human body, even if you have physical functions, even if you look no different from ordinary people - but in fact, it is still different. The moment you choose to jump into Wangchuan, you are destined to be no longer the same as humans. Even in this body, you are not a normal human.
Cheng Qing was a little confused. He didn't remember whether he was willing to continue being a human being when he jumped into the Forgetful River. Did he give up his desire to live, or did he hold the courage to take a desperate bet at that moment, and jump down with the pitiful heart that was crushed.
He will never forget the pain that moment. His heart was cut open and cut into pieces one by one, so painful and painful. He was torn apart, reorganized, then torn apart, and then reorganized.
What supported him to keep this breath? He thought he should have died long ago.
After dinner, Cheng Qing suddenly remembered that his office card seemed to be forgotten by cindy. He first called cindy, but it showed that the other party was on the phone. After thinking about it, he decided to get it now and wait until he went to work to find cindy. Too many employees saw it, which had a bad impact.
So Cheng Qing drove to cindy's house. Although he had never visited her house, he knew where her house was. After asking people, he found out that cindy's so-called Room 506 on the fifth floor had been vacant for a long time and no one had lived there.
Cheng Qing stood at the door of 506, and the enthusiastic aunt came over and asked him: "Young man, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for a girl named cindy. Do you know her?"
"I have never heard of a girl named cindy living here. Young man, have you been cheated?" the aunt said mercifully. "I lived in a young couple before 506. Later, they moved out and the house was empty. The landlord was worried that he couldn't rent it out. If you don't believe it, look at it. Look at the lock, it's all gone!"
"There shouldn't be any mistakes, my friend won't lie to me."
"That's what you remember wrong? Maybe she doesn't live on the fifth floor at all?"
"It's the fifth floor, I'm pretty sure."
"It's definitely not, sure, it's not." The aunt waved her hand. "Tell me what this girl looks like. As long as she lives in this building, I will definitely have an impression!"
"Long hair, very beautiful, and very good personality. Ah, her eyes are very clean." Seeing the aunt thinking hard, Cheng Qing also emphasized it specifically. "The eyes are really clean and look like a cat."
"Oh!" The aunt suddenly realized. "I know, are you talking about that strange girl? She goes down every time she walks to the fifth floor?!"
"Um?"
"There is a girl I've seen several times. She always goes up to the fifth floor and goes down, but she doesn't live here. I've talked to her several times. She said she was here to find a friend and even went to my house to drink a glass of water."
Cheng Qing suddenly asked, "Auntie, which number do you live in?"
“I live in 503.”
"... Can you take me in and take a look?" He was afraid that the other party would think he was a bad person, Cheng Qing quickly took out his ID card. "I won't lie to you, I just want to go and take a look."
"It's okay, the young man looks so good, he is definitely not a liar. Look at your outfit, what can you do to you?" The aunt was also very generous in personality. She agreed without saying a word, walked in front of Cheng Qing and asked him to follow him. Cheng Qing followed the aunt to her house and found a room, "Can I go in and take a look?"
The aunt said, "Yes."
Cheng Qing walked in, turned on the lights in the room, walked to the window and looked out. Sure enough, he could clearly see his car from here. He asked the aunt: "That girl...has she only been here once?"
"It's been quite many times." The aunt scratched her head, thinking that these two people were really strange. "I said what are you young people doing now? They all like my room very much. Is my room so good?" She must turn on the lights first as soon as she comes in.
"...I understand, thank you." Cheng Qing smiled at the aunt. The aunt followed him and felt that the young man was a little lost. "Young man, are you okay? Do you want to find that girl? When I see her in the future, I will tell her for you?"
Cheng Qing shook his head and said, "No, thank you." He will not come again in the future, and the girl will not come again.
He returned to his car, first he was stunned for a while, and then asked Mo Ze in his heart: What's going on?
However, this time, Mo Ze did not respond to him.
Cheng Qing returned home like this. When he called cindy again, the other party answered, but when he said he wanted to get the room card, cindy politely refused, saying that he had already taken a shower and went to bed, and why he would come to him personally tomorrow. Cheng Qing answered and hung up the phone, then lay down.
The next morning, cindy came indeed, holding a thermos pot in her hand, inside which was the red date porridge she had cooked with her early morning. This time the porridge was very delicious, and she seemed to have returned to her usual skills. Cheng Qing drank a bowl and said thank you to her, but looked at her perfect hands.
It was a perfect pair of hands, which could be said to be flawless and could not even see the pores. At first glance, it was a hand that was not touched by spring water, but often maintained. Cheng Qing was also a rich man. He occasionally made his own meals, but because of working all year round, there were some thin calluses on his palms and fingers.
It's strange that cindy, who has studied business management and worked for several years, is now a new employee in the company and often works overtime. Her hands are white and tender, but she can't see any calluses.
To be continued...
