46 I miss you so much I'm going crazy
◎Grab her waist and pick her up◎
This matter was a misunderstanding from the beginning to the end. After understanding the situation, the public security comrades felt it was not appropriate to stay here any longer and prepared to return to the Public Security Bureau.
"It's already this late, and you haven't gotten off work yet?" Song Shixi was a little surprised.
Hearing her caring words, Zeng Jingxu's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but raise his lips. Looking at her fair little face, he replied, "I'm on duty tonight and can't go back until tomorrow morning."
Song Shixi sighed with admiration, "You've worked so hard."
"It's not hard. You can call us if you need anything." Zeng Jingxu looked at her one last time before leaving with the others. His attention was on Song Shixi, and he didn't notice that there was someone next to him who was staring at him for a long time.
Song Shixi watched Zeng Jingxu and the others leave, then turned back to express her gratitude to Lin Xiu'e. The latter was feeling embarrassed about having misunderstood someone, and did not dare to accept her thanks. She said a few words hurriedly and left.
"Come in." Looking at the tall and strong men in front of him, Song Shixi quickly opened the gate and let them in.
After they came in, they did not look around or talk casually. Instead, they started to work in an orderly manner under the command of the male comrade named Gu Yuan. Everyone had a clear division of labor and worked quickly, and basically finished all the work before ten o'clock.
During this period, Song Shixi and Wu Qiuhong discussed outfits and makeup in the room, but for Wu Qiuhong, makeup was a bit difficult at the moment, so she had to start slowly by changing her clothes.
Wu Qiuhong is thin and about 1.6 meters tall. She has a pretty face and is a beautiful girl next door. Her appearance is not particularly bright, which suits her simple, generous and cool style.
After looking at Wu Qiuhong's wardrobe, Song Shixi gave up trying to match clothes with hers and opened her own wardrobe directly. Although there was a height difference of almost ten centimeters between the two, some of her tight-fitting clothes were quite suitable for her. The key point was that they were neither too tight nor too loose, making them comfortable for her to wear to work.
Wu Qiuhong wanted to refuse, but Song Shixi grabbed her face forcefully, silencing her. He said with a stern face, "If you continue to be polite to me, I'll get angry."
Only when she finally nodded did he let go of her hand.
"You can wear the same clothes to work, but it's best to change them every day, especially in the summer." Song Shixi took out some clothes that were suitable for Wu Qiuhong from the closet, and then matched them. After he had a set, he asked Wu Qiuhong to change into them.
Both of them were girls, so there was nothing uncomfortable about changing clothes in front of each other. Song Shixi was stunned when he noticed that Wu Qiuhong's underwear was a little yellow and pilling.
Thinking that hygiene knowledge was not widely popularized in this era, many people had no awareness in this regard, and many girls were too shy to mention it. In addition, in order to save money, most of them just wore whatever they could. Song Shixi pursed her lips and silently kept it in mind.
While Wu Qiuhong was changing clothes, he took out a few new pairs of underwear from the bottom of the wardrobe, put them in a clean box, wrote a note and put it in, and then continued to help her with reference as if nothing had happened.
The two of them discussed and decided on three sets of clothes. Originally, Song Shixi wanted to arrange five sets for her a week, but Wu Qiuhong disagreed, so they had to reduce it to three sets.
Fortunately, with the set of clothes she gave her before, there are four sets in total.
The first set is a beige shirt with a V-neck design. There are two pieces of tulle on the chest that can be tied into a bow, which is chic and gentle. It is matched with a black long skirt and a brown leather belt, which modifies the waist well and lengthens the proportions. The hair is tied into a pigtail before going to bed and untied the next day, and the slightly curly hair is draped over the shoulders, which is very gentle and elegant.
The second set is a black short-sleeved top with jeans, and a floral silk scarf around the neck, which adds a bit of femininity and neutralizes the monotony, making the whole look less dull. The long hair is all combed up, revealing a full forehead, youthful and fashionable.
The third set is a light pink cardigan paired with gray suit pants. The design fits the waistline, which not only makes you look slim, but also looks high-end and elegant. With a half-up hairstyle, it looks smooth and natural.
Song Shixi matched all her clothes with corresponding bags and jewelry. As for shoes, she simply gave her a pair of versatile small leather shoes that she had never worn before.
But she was afraid that Wu Qiuhong would refuse, so she told her that it was a loan.
The two of them cleaned up the messy room together and the phone outside was almost installed. Song Shixi helped Wu Qiuhong bring all the clothes into the guest room. When he was about to go back to get the box, he was stopped by Wu Qiuhong, and then she took out a gift box from her luggage like a magic trick.
"Happy birthday, Shixi."
Hearing this, Song Shixi's pupils shrank slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He was a little stunned and subconsciously reached out to take it, then stammered, "How did you know my birthday?"
"When we first met, you told me about it, and I remembered it. I wanted to give it to you that day, but I didn't see you, so I can only give it to you today."
Wu Qiuhong's heart was pounding, and she clutched the corner of her clothes nervously. "I don't have much money right now, so I can't buy anything too expensive. Last time I heard you want a light-colored lipstick, so I went to the department store and asked the clerk to pick one out for me. I don't know if you like it..."
Song Shixi suddenly remembered that she had put on light makeup to wear a new dress, but no matter which lipstick she used, it felt wrong, so she simply didn't put it on. When she got to school, she complained to Wu Qiuhong. Unexpectedly, she remembered it and bought her a lipstick as a birthday gift.
This was a considerable expense for Wu Qiuhong, and it was unknown how long she had been saving the money...
This thoughtful thought surprised her more than any expensive gift.
Song Shixi's eyes instantly turned red, and crystal tears flashed twice in her eyes. Then she rushed over and hugged Wu Qiuhong, "Qiuhong, thank you."
After the excitement subsided, he slowly let her go, curled his lips and smiled, "As long as it's a gift from you, I like it."
After saying that, she couldn't wait to open the box, took out the lipstick inside, and applied a layer in front of the mirror. The color was very beautiful, a light nude cherry blossom pink, gentle and fresh, with a little cool tone, and it didn't look out of place even if she applied it without makeup.
"It looks so good, I want to wear it every day!"
Just as the two were talking and laughing, there was a knock on the door. Song Shixi hurried to open it and saw Gu Yuan standing at the door. He nodded politely at her and said, "Comrade Song, the phone has been installed. President Qin is waiting for you to answer it."
Song Shixi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a landline phone next to the sofa in the living room, with the receiver placed aside, as if waiting for someone to pick it up. The various complicated wires and tools that had been placed on the ground were also cleaned up, and even the floor had been washed and mopped, looking shiny.
"Oh ok, thank you."
"You're too kind. This is what we should do. It's getting late, so we'll leave first." Gu Yuan smiled lightly, then took his people away and closed the door for her.
Song Shixi didn't rush to answer the phone, but went back to the bedroom to get the box for Wu Qiuhong, "Here you go."
"What is this?" Wu Qiuhong was a little confused.
"It's for you anyway." Song Shixi didn't say it clearly. He pretended to be in a hurry to answer the phone and avoided her topic.
Wu Qiuhong had just heard her conversation with Gu Yuan, so she hurriedly said, "Shi Xi, please thank your brother for me. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have found such a good internship."
"Okay, I'll definitely tell him for you." Song Shixi nodded in agreement and pushed Wu Qiuhong back to the room. "Don't you still have company information to look at? I won't bother you for now."
The door was suddenly closed. Wu Qiuhong blinked and paused for two seconds. Then she walked towards the bed and opened the box. After seeing the contents and relevant precautions, she stopped in her tracks. It was as if a bright light was lit in her heart, and she felt incredibly warm.
Before long, tears fell on the paper, blurring the words.
*
All the lights in the living room were on, and the evening breeze blew in slowly through the half-open window, brushing the hem of her skirt and creating a cheerful arc.
Song Shixi trotted to the sofa and picked up the receiver. Because he had run two steps, his breathing became a little rapid when he spoke.
"Hello? Are you still there?"
Qin Yue, who was on the other end of the line, was also leaning back on the sofa, waiting for her to answer. The moment he heard the familiar voice, he withdrew his gaze from the starry sky outside the window. His Adam's apple rolled slightly, and the fatigue and stuffiness in his heart subsided a lot. He opened his thin lips and said, "I'm here."
His voice has always been pleasant, low and deep, and even through the phone, it had a hint of nonchalant magnetism, as heavy and cold as the branches of a tree covered in snow in winter.
Just by listening, her heart was filled with a tingling sensation, and her fingertips unconsciously entangled with the telephone wire, leaving light red marks on her fair skin.
"How did you..."
"Your afternoon..."
The two spoke again almost at the same time, their tacit understanding making people chuckle.
Song Shixi leaned her head on the armrest of the sofa, rubbing her cheek against the soft pillow. Her eyes were curved like the crescent moon outside the window, and her pupils were cool. After he asked her to speak first, she didn't give in. She blinked and said directly: "Why did you think of installing a phone here?"
This thing is not cheap. She has never thought about it in this way. Besides, after going downstairs and out of the alley, there is a grocery store next to the Public Security Bureau that can make phone calls, so it is very convenient to contact anyone.
It’s just that the boss is watching us, so we can’t chat as we please.
Thinking of this, Song Shixi's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought of the hurried phone call they had yesterday. He had a vague answer in his mind, but guessing it himself was one thing, and hearing the other party admit it with his own ears was another.
"Because I want to be able to contact you at all times without being disturbed by various factors."
In the quiet night, the man's words were particularly clear, and each word entered her mind, stirring up waves. Her heartbeat continued to accelerate out of control, and even her blood seemed to become particularly hot and passionate.
Song Shixi gripped the phone cord tightly, feeling as if a piece of sweet candy was stuffed in her throat. She couldn't speak, yet it felt extremely sweet.
Yet he continued to ask, "Don't you want to?"
It was clearly a question of only four words, but it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, pressing down on her and making her unable to answer, because his tone was as if he was asking her if she missed him.
"Why aren't you talking?"
She didn't know if he did it on purpose, but she was silent for only two seconds before he clung to her tightly. The rising tone of his voice revealed a joyful look of seeing through everything, coaxing her to reveal the true answer.
"Um."
Song Shixi had no choice but to respond softly.
Qin Yue raised the corners of his lips into a beautiful arc, and leaned back lazily. His eyes were slightly closed, and his long eyelashes covered his deep pupils, hiding the dark colors surging inside. "What? I didn't hear you."
Song Shixi's face quickly turned red, and she bit her lips tightly, feeling a little angry and embarrassed, "You heard it!"
"I really didn't hear it." The arc deepened, but the tone was serious.
Song Shixi couldn't tell whether his words were true or false for a moment. After hesitating for a while, he finally cleared his throat and said slowly: "I said I wanted to, too. Did you hear me this time?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard an unmistakable chuckle coming from the other side. It was obvious that he was just teasing her from beginning to end.
Song Shixi reacted and buried her face completely in the pillow, muttering sullenly, "Qin Yue! You're so annoying! I won't talk to you anymore!"
After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone, but was interrupted by Qin Yue's next words.
"Shixi, don't hang up."
"What should I do? It's only been two days since we've been apart, and I'm already missing you so much I'm going crazy."
Song Shixi's body stiffened and she held her breath lightly. She felt the temperature of the air rising sharply, making her a little breathless. A touch of crimson crept up the tips of her ears, dyeing them thoroughly, as if she were wearing crystal clear rubies. Her hand gently stirred the telephone wire, and her fingers trembled again and again.
"It's a lie."
When he realized what he had said, Song Shixi's eyes flickered twice and he almost bit his tongue. He couldn't believe that such a cheesy word would come out of his mouth.
She was actually flirting with Qin Yue! Moreover, she was so coquettish and charming.
Song Shixi opened her red lips, trying to save the situation, but unexpectedly, Qin Yue on the other side enjoyed it very much. His voice became more and more hoarse. For her who was half voice-controlled, it was simply an auditory feast.
"I'm not lying to you. I won't lie to you."
He spoke firmly and without hesitation, which gave his words a lot of credibility.
Song Shixi's hands unconsciously dug into the soft fabric of the sofa, along with the telephone cord, leaving holes on it. However, as she let go, the holes quickly disappeared. She didn't know how many holes she had made before she lowered her eyelashes and replied in a deep voice, "What's the point of just saying it? If you miss me, just come back."
But she knew that Qin Yue was so busy that it was impossible for him to come back.
She said this just to be unreasonable.
Perhaps deep down in her heart she actually felt some resentment towards him. After all, they had just been together, and he disappeared the next day. Although it was for work, she was not a saint, and she would be more or less unhappy.
"Okay." Unexpectedly, Qin Yue agreed directly as soon as she finished speaking.
Hearing this, Song Shixi panicked a bit and quickly gave the two of them an excuse, "I was just kidding, you should just make some money. I'll come find you in a few days when I'm done here."
As soon as she finished speaking, she changed the subject: "What did you want to ask me just now?"
Qin Yue was silent for a few seconds before he continued, "I wanted to ask you what you did this afternoon? Why weren't you home?"
Song Shixi chuckled and told Wu Qiuhong the truth about her visit in the afternoon, and then conveyed Wu Qiuhong's words of thanks to her.
"It was her own ability to pass the interview. I just provided her with an opportunity."
Song Shixi nodded, thought of something, and asked with a smile: "Then when I graduate and do my internship, will you give me a chance?"
"Directly hire her as the boss lady."
Hearing this, Song Shixi couldn't help but burst out laughing, and was so happy that she was out of breath. Her long black hair hung down from her cheeks, feeling a little itchy. She then switched hands to answer the phone, and her long legs were lifted up in pleasure, swaying up and down.
"No, I want to be the boss, and you want to be my boss's wife."
He agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'll be your good wife."
No matter how true or false these words are, they always sound pleasant to the ears.
Song Shixi raised the corners of her lips and teased him a few more times. After a while, Qin Yue suddenly changed the subject and said, "I heard Zeng Jingxu was here this afternoon too?"
"How do you know?" Song Shixi was stunned and asked subconsciously, then quickly realized that it was most likely Gu Yuan who reported the secret.
I didn't expect that Mr. Gu looked so serious and upright in his work, but he had to report such trivial matters!
Song Shixi silently complained in his heart, then explained the whole story, "Your people have been guarding my door the whole time. My landlord misunderstood them as bad guys and called the police. It just so happened that it was Brother Jing Xu who showed up."
"Brother Jingxu?"
I heard his gnashing voice, and the smile in his tone disappeared in an instant.
Song Shixi's eyes wandered for a moment, but then he became confident and righteous, "You don't allow me to call you brother, and you don't allow me to call others brother?"
She and Zeng Jingxu have nothing to do with each other! But Qin Yue always likes to misunderstand them!
"That's not what I meant. He..." Qin Yue held his forehead, feeling a dull pain in his temples. He almost opened his mouth and broke the window paper. Fortunately, he stopped at the critical moment. His eyes darkened a little. Why should he help his rival confess?
"Stay away from him anyway."
Song Shixi's swinging of her legs became much less intense, her brows furrowed as she grumbled softly, "Didn't you ask him to look after me and protect me back then? How come our relationship has finally gotten a little better, and now he wants to…"
"I was out of my mind at the time!"
“…”
Now Song Shixi was really speechless. He buried his face in the pillow for a long time, until he was a little breathless. Then he moved the microphone away and laughed out loud.
But even so, Qin Yue still heard it and called out softly in frustration, "Shi Xi."
"Okay, hahaha, I get it." Song Shixi didn't want to agree at first, but Qin Yue said that. If she didn't nod, she was afraid that he would really fly back and beat her up.
On the other hand...
She was not someone who didn't know how to read people's expressions. Qin Yue's attitude of rejecting Zeng Jingxu these times was too obvious. Coupled with Zeng Jingxu's extra care and closeness to her during this period, she gradually confirmed her inner guess.
When faced with this kind of love that is destined to be fruitless, the most appropriate approach is to take the initiative to stay away from it and keep an appropriate distance.
Especially since he is Qin Yue's friend, they can't be lovers, nor are they suitable to be friends.
"It's getting late, go to bed early."
Hearing this, Song Shixi looked up at the clock on the wall. It was almost eleven o'clock without her noticing. However, she didn't feel sleepy at all and didn't want to hang up the phone. But just because she didn't have to go to work didn't mean Qin Yue didn't have to go to work tomorrow. In the end, she said reluctantly, "Good night."
"good evening."
Song Shixi sighed with lingering regret, looked at the silent and cold receiver, and put it back in its place in a bad mood.
After lying on the sofa for a while, she remembered that Wu Qiuhong seemed to have never come out of the room from beginning to end. Realizing this, she quickly got up and knocked on the door tentatively. Not long after, the door was opened from the inside.
Song Shixi looked at the desk lamp that had been turned off long ago, and pursed her lips in annoyance. "I'm sorry I took too long on the phone. Now I'll teach you how to use the water heater for the shower."
"It's okay, I just finished reading the information not long ago." Wu Qiuhong waved her hand quickly.
"Just treat this place like your own home. It's just the two of us, so there's no need to be so particular." Song Shixi knew she was worried about disturbing him while he was on the phone, so she gave him a warning. Then, she took her to the bathroom and briefly explained how to use various items. Finally, she said, "I'll put on your makeup tomorrow morning!"
"Okay." Hearing her mention this, Wu Qiuhong nodded nervously and expectantly.
"Then you take a shower first, you have to go to work tomorrow." Song Shixi smiled at her and walked out of the bathroom.
By the time both of them finished washing up and went to bed, it was almost twelve o'clock in the morning. Song Shixi tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. There was always a figure floating back and forth in her mind, disturbing her restlessness. She didn't know when she finally fell asleep until a shrill alarm clock woke her up.
Keeping things in mind, she didn't lie in bed, but got up directly. While Wu Qiuhong was still washing up, she went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of noodles for the two of them, with a big fried egg for each of them and some green vegetables, which made them very hungry.
After eating, Song Shixi began to put makeup on Wu Qiuhong, explaining the most basic makeup knowledge while doing it. With her experience as a blogger in her previous life, she made everything very easy to understand. In addition, Wu Qiuhong had a good memory, so after one go, she had already memorized all the steps firmly in her mind.
But if you want to apply makeup well, you still need practice.
"Look for yourself, isn't it beautiful?"
After applying the last bit of lipstick to Wu Qiuhong, Song Shixi grabbed her chin and looked her around for a few seconds, then asked her to turn towards the mirror with satisfaction.
Wu Qiuhong's eyelashes trembled, she clenched her palms, slowly lifted her eyelids and saw herself in the mirror. Her pupils suddenly dilated, and she picked up the mirror in disbelief and looked at herself carefully over and over again.
Today she wore the first outfit she had chosen yesterday: a beige shirt with a black long skirt. She had followed Song Shixi's advice and had tied her hair into a pigtail all night. Now that it was untied, it had magically turned into the kind of fashionable curly hair like a magazine girl's, draped over her shoulders, making her face look only the size of a palm.
The facial features that could only be described as delicate became refined and three-dimensional with the help of various cosmetics. The skin was smooth and even, without a trace of blemish. The messy eyebrows were neatly trimmed, and the slightly curved eyebrow tails were outlined with an eyebrow pencil. With the addition of naturally smudged eyeshadow and eyeliner, and long and curled eyelashes, the eyes looked much bigger than before, bright and natural.
The light-colored lipstick may not seem to have much color, but under Song Shixi's hands, it makes her somewhat flat lips look fuller and rounder, making her look less harsh and serious.
In Wu Qiuhong's eyes, it was like he had become a completely different person.
But when she smiled, the person in the mirror also smiled...
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Song Shixi, and was so excited that she was a little incoherent: "Beautiful! I have never seen such a beautiful person, no, I have never seen myself so beautiful. Shixi, is this really me?"
Song Shixi found it a bit funny, and felt that her reaction was another way of praising her makeup skills. She couldn't help but straighten her back, patted her shoulder, and said with a curved lip: "Yes, this is you, Wu Qiuhong."
After saying that, she saw that there was still some time, so she focused on teaching Wu Qiuhong how to touch up her makeup. After the weekend, she would teach her in detail how to put on full makeup, and let her practice it herself.
After seeing that she understood how to touch up her makeup, Song Shixi stuffed all the cosmetics she might use today into the bag she was carrying. After the two of them went through all this, it was already late.
"Hurry up! You're going to be late if you don't get out now. Remember not to hunch over, keep your back straight, and pay attention to your image!"
Wu Qiuhong took a few tentative steps forward, and finally said with a sad face, "Shi Xi, I can hardly walk anymore."
Song Shixi looked at her awkward walking posture and couldn't help but smiled. Finally, he couldn't bear it any longer and held her arm and walked her downstairs. "Don't worry, don't be nervous, we'll take it slowly. You can practice more on the way. It's okay outside, but when you get to the company, you must perform well for me and blind those people with your beauty!"
Hearing this, Wu Qiuhong took a deep breath and nodded vigorously: "Okay!"
After saying that, he opened the gate and walked out with his head held high, but not long after, he couldn't help but look back.
Song Shixi was still leaning against the big iron gate. Seeing her looking over, he smiled and waved at her, "Come on!"
Wu Qiuhong also raised her hand in response, then lowered her head, smiled slightly, pinched the hem of her skirt and strode away.
The air was very cool in the morning and the sun had not yet climbed high in the sky. Song Shixi watched Wu Qiuhong walk away and couldn't help yawning. He didn't sleep well last night and was busy for so long this morning, so he was really a little tired.
She took two deep breaths and turned around to see that the newly bought pots of coreopsis in the yard were in full bloom. The yellow flowers were large and full, blooming one after another. The slender leaves surrounded the flowers, like a golden rooster standing alone, gorgeous and colorful, hence the name.
It was windy a few days ago, and a lot of flowers and leaves fell in the yard. Song Shixi didn't rush to close the big iron gate. He prepared to sweep the floor and water the plants before closing it.
There were cleaning tools on the first floor, and since the area was not large, she finished cleaning in no time.
The sunlight was much stronger than when he went out just now, and now it almost covered half of the yard. Song Shixi was a little afraid of the sun, so after filling the kettle with water, he prepared to finish the job quickly.
Just as she bent down to water the flowers on the innermost side, she caught a glimpse of two figures, one big and one small, printed on the cement ground. She was immediately frightened and tripped over her left foot, almost kicking over a pot of coreopsis.
Fortunately, someone grabbed her waist the next second and lifted her out of the flowers.
