Chapter 15 "Don't scream, the soundproofing is not good"
After leaving the office and waiting for the elevator, her elder brother asked her to go to the restaurant.
The pianist in a private room was suddenly rear-ended on the way and could not come to the scene. The other staff also had work arrangements, so she came to take over.
After Shi Ye agreed, he sent a message to Zhou Junheng, saying that he had something to do and might be back late.
It's a bit of a broken promise... She said last night that they would try to have dinner together in the evening, but she broke it today.
The man may be busy and did not reply.
It's in the central area of the Third Ring Road and it's rush hour, so the traffic is a bit slow.
When Shi Ye arrived at Liyin, the front office manager was already waiting for her outside.
I handed the car directly to the parking guy, as I didn't have much time.
She also puts her mobile phone on the table so that she can see the message prompts in time.
After changing her clothes in the dressing room, she familiarized herself with the music score and lyrics of "Sheng Sheng Man" again. At least the most basic thing was to avoid making any mistakes.
She untied the high ponytail she had tied up during the day and tied it up with a wooden hairpin. This scene was more suitable for ancient costumes.
The other two partners pushed the door open and entered with her.
…
Zhou Junheng saw the message sent by Shi Ye after the meeting. After replying, he no longer had the desire to go back home to eat alone.
For some unknown reason, a feeling of frustration came over me.
It was also his first time in love.
So, was he pushing her too hard yesterday? Was he silently rejecting me or was he just trying to avoid me?
Chu Yanli called and asked him if he had finished get off work and wanted to come out for dinner.
"Yuan He and I are both here at Lao Shi, in the same private room as before."
He didn't refuse.
Drove there, but was still the last one to arrive.
There was no need for any encouragement or urging, he just drank two glasses right away.
The box faces the lake, and through the glass inside you can clearly see several lotus flowers blooming in the pond outside.
Anyone can feel the low pressure from Zhou Junheng.
Although this guy usually has an icy face, he's not this cold.
I haven't heard of any special developments at work recently.
And didn’t he just get married and win the beauty?
It can be considered one of the three great joys in life: the wedding night...
Chu Yanli and Yuan He stared at each other in amazement. They had no idea what had happened to this buddy.
Does this count as getting drunk?
The musicians behind the screen were asked to leave immediately, for fear of causing trouble for Zhou Junheng.
Shi Qing just came in.
The two brothers winked at him and asked him to go ahead, after all, he was the legitimate brother-in-law.
Shi Qing still hasn't figured out the situation.
Just as he was about to ask, Zhou Junheng spoke first, his tone flat and direct, "Shi Qing, your sister has no heart at all."
Shi Qing was stunned for a moment.
"Xiaoye?"
Even without understanding any of the causes and consequences, Shi Qing, who doted on his sister, gave the answer without hesitation.
"No, Xiaoye is the most sentimental and the best at loving."
You can call him his brother's filter, but his sister is the best in every way.
After these two people's conversation came out, the two people at the table also understood. It turned out that although Zhou Junheng got the beauty, he did not win the favor of his new wife. He was depressed because he could not get the love he wanted.
Zhou Junheng was choked by Shi Qing's words again, but it seemed that he was unable to refute the truth that Shi Qing said.
Sometimes I love someone, but I just don’t love him.
Shi Qing also felt that this truth was a bit heartbreaking.
He has also become her brother-in-law, so of course she hopes that their relationship will be better.
"You and Xiaoye have never had any contact. Relationships need to be cultivated slowly. She is only as old as you are. I didn't even say you were an old cow eating young grass. How dare you complain to me about my sister?"
"Just be patient."
Zhou Junheng certainly understood what Shi Qing said. What he meant yesterday was to tell Shi Ye that they should get along slowly and then develop their relationship... but the little girl still didn't come back today.
"Weiwan" described what happened last night to his brother-in-law and then explained the current situation... The cause and effect seemed to be closed in a loop, and he chased the person away.
Shi Qing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "No."
"Xiaoye came here to help me today."
"She didn't hide from you on purpose."
The other two who were still trying to hold back their laughter couldn't hold it in anymore.
Laughing wildly.
Yuan He: "Zhou Junheng, you seem like a nagging woman..."
Chu Yanli didn't let him go either, and said bluntly: "My sister-in-law is also miserable. She has taken a lot of blame, and you are trying to turn the tables and accuse me first."
True brothers are like rubbing salt into every wound.
Zhou Junheng asked back, "Is it here with you now?"
"Otherwise, we'll be in the private room downstairs. Ask clearly next time before getting drunk... You'll pay for the drinks later, but today's drinks are not exempt."
Zhou Junheng held his forehead with his hand. Perhaps it was the alcohol that was taking effect, as his head was aching.
Today he finally understood what it meant to be impatient and not eat hot tofu, so he refused to answer any further questions.
"How long will it take?"
"One song lasts for 1 hour. It's coming out soon."
Shi Qing kindly gave him a reminder and told him where the locker room was.
As expected, Zhou Junheng stood up immediately. These people did not stop him from chasing his wife, but before he left, they shouted at him from behind to remind him not to forget to pay the bill.
Accompanied by an employee, Zhou Junheng walked in and saw the girl's mobile phone on the table.
She didn't reply to the message simply because their schedules were different.
The staff member brought the man over and explained, "Director Zhou, please wait a moment. Miss Shi should be out in a few minutes."
"Well, go ahead and get busy."
The guests that Ritz-Carlton usually receives are not ordinary guests.
Prominent figures attach the most importance to privacy and propriety. Knowing what to say and what not to say is a basic quality.
The employee naturally understood and stopped lingering, even closing the door when leaving.
Shi Qing sent him another message.
Remind him to be careful, "Go back and talk to Xiaoye, the soundproofing over there isn't very good."
…
In the box upstairs.
"Blue bricks and tile paint, white horses tread on fresh mud. Mountain flowers and banana leaves dye the scarf red in the evening..."
The pipa strings tinkled and the soft Wu dialect was sung softly.
Behind the screen, one could vaguely see a girl in a plain cheongsam sitting in front of a piano. She had a graceful posture and a clear and sweet voice.
Because of the veil, He Han couldn't see the person playing the piano clearly, but he felt that the delicacy behind the Wu dialect was indeed elegant.
After hearing this song, the dissatisfaction with the blind date banquet was somewhat suppressed.
After the Pingtan ended, the box seemed even quieter and more empty without the music. He Han's restlessness surged up again, and he had no intention of trying to deal with it anymore.
"Ms. Huang, with all due respect, I feel like we're not a good match after this meal."
Huang Qian raised her eyebrows and ignored his words.
He asked directly, "I think Mr. He should have known about this blind date party in advance, right?"
He Han nodded.
"Then you should know my situation. Since you agreed to come, what does it mean that you are absent-minded during a meal?"
He Han was directly exposed by her, but he did not panic and just spoke out.
"I'm sorry, I think this is more of a matter of chemistry. After this meal, I don't think Miss Huang quite meets my ideal of a significant other. Isn't that the case, Miss Huang?"
He didn't want to beat around the bush with her, and her question just now made him more certain that she was not his type.
She asks too many questions and interferes too much.
When he got home last night, his mother suddenly threw a stack of photos at him, photos of several single girls in the unit, and asked him to choose one to go on a blind date today.
"When your dad and I told you about your past, you knew your limits and never brought any girls home. We broke up with every one of them cleanly."
"But how old are you now? You still plan to continue like this? You need to start a family before you can build a career. If you don't settle down, there are some positions that your father and I won't be able to get no matter how hard we push you. How can the organization let a young person who hasn't settled down do something?"
"Just listen to us, we won't hurt you... You've been playing around for so many years, it's time to settle down and find an ordinary girl to live a down-to-earth life with. She won't be able to interfere with you too much."
"You build a family and have children. Then your father and I will never restrict you from doing anything you want, okay?"
This statement is quite direct, perhaps even offensive.
Huang Qian took a sip of water, but her expression remained expressionless.
"Where did Mr. He come up with this? I really want to know what I did to make you think we're not suitable, but I think we're a good match. Mr. He meets all my requirements for a partner!"
He Han laughed at her question. He had seen her like this many times before and could tell at a glance that she wanted to get married. He was too lazy to bother with her or deal with her anymore.
"No comment. I'll treat Miss Huang to this meal. I hope you find your soulmate soon."
After saying that, He Han stood up and left. When paying the bill, she asked the waiter if he knew the contact information of the pianist she had just met.
"I'm sorry, sir, this is our privacy. I can't tell you."
"If you absolutely need anything, could you please write it down and I'll pass it on to her?"
He Han easily found an excuse, "Sorry, she just did me a small favor, and I was wondering if I could get her contact information so I could express my gratitude in person."
He Han's appearance was too deceptive. He was dressed in a suit and his gestures and words were very polite.
Such sincere words naturally won the waiter's understanding and understanding.
It turns out that they are also here to pursue Sister Yanran. More than one customer has asked for Sister Yanran’s phone number... They are really a perfect match in terms of looks!
Sister Yanran will definitely thank her!
"Oh, that's okay. Providing good service to customers is our responsibility. Wait a moment for Sister Yanran's contact information. I'll write it down on a sticky note for you."
He Han caught the key information, "Her name is Yanran?"
"Yeah, her name is Tang Yanran."
He Han recited it quietly to herself. It really did sound like her name. It was a very delicate name for a Jiangnan woman.
The girl handed him a sticky note with her phone number on it and gave him a look that said, "Sister Yanran is still single, keep going!"
He Han smiled back, "Thank you, we'll treat you to dinner."
…
The locker room was a single room, and before pushing the door open, Shi Ye was still thinking about the location of the lamp that another person had just told her.
I can't use the flashlight without my phone.
Tokiya sighed... hoping it wasn't so dark in there that he couldn't see his hand in front of him.
The moment I opened the door, before I even turned on the light, someone pulled me into his arms.
Just as Shi Ye was about to resist, a man spoke. It was Zhou Junheng.
"It's me—"
"Don't shout, your brother said the soundproofing is not good."
Her stiff body felt instantly weakened, and she forgot to struggle as he held her from behind.
When he came to his senses, he felt that he was almost scared to death by Zhou Junheng. "Why don't you turn on the lights here?"
"I forgot."
"Aren't you afraid of being alone in this pitch-black environment? You can't be so obsessed with whatever you're thinking about, right?"
