GBP Chapter 523 "Won't you invite me up to sit down?"
Chapter 523 "Won't you invite me up to sit down?"
"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
Rongyan's words were a bit deliberate, Qiao Nian smiled self-deprecatingly:
"What does it have to do with me? That's your business."
Fortunately, that’s her reality.
"Uncle Gu told me not to tell anyone. Maybe he wanted to protect me. After all, there is a big age gap between us. He was afraid that it would affect me if it got out."
What she said made sense, and Gu Jinyan was really considerate.
"Then you two can spend time together. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Qiao Nian didn't want to know the truth of the matter, as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
But I am also glad that I moved out. It was a wise decision.
This is Gu Jinyan, who can eat anything. Qiao Nian feels a little disgusted and doesn’t want to have any contact with him anymore.
This world is neither big nor small, and if you don’t avoid it deliberately, you probably won’t be able to see it.
For the next period of time, they seemed to be traveling between two parallel worlds.
We are in the same company but we never meet each other.
This is what Qiao Nian hopes, and she hopes it will always be like this.
This kind of life seemed to have returned to the starting point, going to work, coming home from get off work, buying groceries and cooking, this was the life she should experience.
Gu Jinyan seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Perhaps they were not originally in the same world.
After summer comes autumn, but autumn in the north always makes people feel dreary.
It seems that we have already begun to predict late autumn before it even arrives, and the leaves turning from green to yellow are gradually losing their original appearance.
She doesn't like autumn because it means separation.
The swallows are leaving for the far south, the leaves are falling and the grass is drying up.
The petals themselves are colorful, and eventually they fall off and become fertilizer.
When does autumn begin?
Maybe it's the moment when the cicadas stop chirping.
When she got home from get off work, something in her hand fell. Just as she was about to squat down to pick it up, a big hand appeared and helped her pick it up.
Of course, not Gu Jinyan.
"Thank you."
It’s Li Xian, who works in the same department as her.
He looks gentle and wears glasses, but he usually doesn't wear them when he's off work.
He has a grandma-like and bookish look.
He is also from another place, but he settled here early and has his own house and car.
He is highly educated and his parents are very open-minded.
Li Xian is four years older than her and is definitely a high-quality man.
"What did you get?"
They seldom communicated during the day, as most people here do.
After being in the company for so long, Qiao Nian didn't even know their names.
"I just bought a book and I'm going to take it back."
Qiao Nian is good-looking and never lacks men for affection.
"Do you like reading?"
There was something ambiguous in Li Xian's eyes, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.
"It's okay, just killing time."
Is it boring at her age?
"You don't have a boyfriend?"
He is too direct, maybe this is a characteristic of science and engineering men.
Qiao Nian paused:
"No."
This is the right way to start love, and of course she does not reject anyone's pursuit.
First of all, she is of marriageable age, and secondly, she is single and hopes to find a boyfriend of her own. Is this deliberate?
Li Xian looked at her:
"Where do you live? I'll take you there."
Qiao Nian quickly refused:
"No, I'll take the subway."
They talked as they walked towards the company entrance. Gu Jinwei came out of the elevator and looked at their backs as they talked and laughed.
No wonder she was so calm, it turned out she had a new candidate.
He watched her get into the man's car with a cold look in his eyes.
Is she asking for this?
Qiao Nian didn't want to ride in Li Xian's car, but she couldn't refuse his kindness, so she just obeyed him respectfully.
Sitting in his car, I felt that he seemed like a very considerate person.
I helped her adjust her seat, took out a can of Coke and gave it to her, and turned on some music just in case she was bored.
"Where are you from?"
There was nothing surprising about two people chatting, and Qiao Nian didn't mind.
"Southerners."
He looked at her profile:
“I’m from the South, too.”
Fellow?
It seems easier to chat with like-minded people:
"How long have you been here?"
Li Xian calculated:
“I’ve been here since I started college.”
It's been so long, no wonder the accent has changed.
"Are you used to the food here?"
To be honest, Qiao Nian was not used to the food here, but he just followed the local customs.
Li Xian shook his head:
"I'm not used to it. I always cook for myself."
self catering?
There are not many men who can cook nowadays, so it is really impressive.
"can you cook?"
He nodded: "Why? Not like?"
He speaks seriously and seems reliable, so the conversation is particularly harmonious:
"Did not see it."
Li Xian smiled:
"So what kind of person do you think I am?"
Qiao Nian looked at him:
"pretty good."
This sentence is not very sincere, it seems perfunctory:
"Why? So comprehensive?"
Qiao Nian smiled. Her smile was so beautiful and contagious.
Li Xian looked at her smiling face and couldn't help but smile too.
He believed that he was moved. Of course, a woman like her was the white moonlight of many men.
Not only is she good-looking, but she's also easy to get along with and completely stress-free.
Therefore, Li Xianyi had noticed her a long time ago, and if the office had not been inconvenient, he would have started contacting her a long time ago.
"How come you don't have a boyfriend when you're so beautiful?"
Li Xian suddenly changed the subject, and Qiao Nian paused:
"Does being pretty mean you have to have a boyfriend? What kind of logic is that?"
Li Xian nodded:
"Sorry, that's not what I meant. I just wonder what those men are doing? Why aren't there any people lining up to get such a beautiful and high-quality girl?"
It was not possible to grab it. Qiao Nian looked at him:
"What about you? Why don't you have a girlfriend?"
He smiled:
“Because I haven’t met anyone I like.”
It would be a bit awkward to continue the conversation. We are all adults and everyone can hear the hidden meaning.
Qiao Nian did not pick up his topic, nor did he respond.
He just wanted to say that he had a crush on her, but she didn't.
Qiao Nian regretted getting into his car. She was not used to this long process.
Fortunately, the company was not far from where she lived, so she arrived there quickly.
"Bye, thank you for taking me back."
Qiao Nian got out of the car and waved goodbye.
"You won't invite me up?"
Qiao Nian was a little stunned, even if it was just a joke. Li Xian was testing who she was, and the result satisfied him.
She was no random woman, as he had hoped.
"Kidding."
Fortunately, it was just a joke, Qiao Nian's palms were sweating.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw his car disappear from my sight.
She was not good at dating or tricks, and she felt pressured by those overwhelmed displays of affection.
How should she reject men she doesn't like?
Qiao Nian turned and walked into the corridor, when suddenly a big hand grabbed her.
Qiao Nian was startled, but it was that familiar smell of cologne.
