Chapter 519: Shen Qingning Calls Cheng Zhu Brother
"Cheng Zhu, you are such a scoundrel."
The slightly drunk Shen Qingning sat in the car and stared at him, revealing his true feelings in a rare way.
To be more precise, the content of the bet between the two was: if she lost, she had to call Cheng Zhu "brother".
But what did he just say?
He said that he would accept the defeat and you should call me brother.
There is only one word difference, but the feeling it gives people is completely different.
It’s not nice to call you “brother”.
This is even more true when a girl calls a boy "brother".
After all, not many girls can shout these two words with the same feeling as the rough guys in "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when they call "brother".
At this moment, the dog man listened to Ningning scolding him, but he didn't feel angry. Instead, he felt that the drunk Ningning was really fucking funny.
Seeing that there was a hint of anger on her face, but her eyes were avoiding him, he simply rested his arms on the armrests of the seat, then leaned forward slightly and moved closer.
"Why are you still cursing?" He said with a smile, "And how am I a scoundrel?"
The main point is to ask a question even though you already know the answer.
"You know it in your heart!" Shen Qingning's voice was cold, and her face was even more angry.
However, combined with the red flush from drinking, it didn't look scary at all.
Ningning usually has a cool temperament and a strong aura.
Now both of them have almost dissipated.
If you have ever had a drink with this type of woman, you should know that this type of people will add a touch of breathtaking beauty after drinking.
This is also true for some mature women. Their beauty will reach a higher level after drinking.
"What do I know?" Cheng Zhu raised his tone a little and continued to ask questions even though he knew the answer, just to piss her off to death.
He stared at her flawless face and continued, "I won by my own ability. How can you say I'm a rogue? What did I do to cheat?"
The bastard said arrogantly, "Although Zhang Tao, Zhang Xuhao and I said that I was just guessing, could I be guessing blindly? You're kidding! I was just trying to be low-key in front of outsiders."
You are not an outsider anyway, so I can pretend as much as I want!
Shen Qingning was completely speechless by him.
Thinking back on it now, she couldn't understand why she agreed to make such a childish bet with him.
Was it because he said that if he lost, she could do whatever she wanted?
She originally thought she was sure to win this bet.
But she really hadn't thought about what to do with Cheng Zhu.
I guess when the time comes I will just tell him: I'll owe it to you first.
But, this damn Wang Xin is too troublesome, and Penguin has no "principles"!
The fact that the two parties actually reached a cooperation was something that countless people had not expected.
Look, people of status and position like Zhang Tao and Zhang Xuhao have all flown to Hangzhou to ask for advice.
It’s a pity that Cheng Zhu only planted another “seed of doubt” at the dinner table and didn’t explain it in too much detail.
Cheng Zhu saw Chen Qingning pursing her lips and ignoring him, and he didn't think he was asking for trouble.
Seeing her shy and angry expression, he felt quite happy.
To him, Lin Lu and Shen Qingning are two completely different types.
Xiaolu is lively, cute, and enthusiastic. Cheng Zhu's mood improves every time he sees her, and it is very easy to get along with her, but he is inexplicably restrained by her from time to time.
Ningning is at the other extreme. She is cold and arrogant by nature, but he can have fun with her and it never fails. He can always bully her easily.
Because she had been lying on her side with her head almost leaning against the car window, a few strands of hair fell on her cheeks, and she couldn't help but raise her hand to lift her long hair in shame and anger.
"Why don't you speak?" Cheng Zhu actually asked this.
"I don't bother to pay attention to you." Shen Qingning turned her head and looked at him.
"No! It's only right to accept defeat!" Cheng Zhu's tone also began to become unhappy.
"You are tampering with the bet." Shen Qingning was dissatisfied, and finally said what he really thought.
"What did I tamper with?" Cheng Zhu was still in that bad mood.
Then, the dog man pretended to react and said, "You don't think there is a difference between asking you to call me brother and calling me brother?"
Shen Qingning frowned, but finally did not speak, responding with silence to indicate her consent.
"It's so funny. No wonder you cursed me and called me a scoundrel. It turns out you are quite picky about words. You think I'm getting too much, right?" Cheng Zhu did exactly that, but his face showed an expression that said, "I'm speechless about you."
“That’s the truth,” she responded.
On weekdays, Shen Qingning is actually the kind of person who dares to do and dares to take responsibility.
Many women seem to be born with the ability to cheat. They are very good at finding an excuse to change a previous agreement.
This seems to be the nature of many women, and is also regarded as a privilege by many women.
She is not that kind of person, but she really can't say it out loud.
This might be more difficult than her jumping out of the car right now.
The dead tsundere really feels so ashamed that he would die on the spot.
In fact, if she and Cheng Zhu had not had an unclear relationship in the past, and if she had not drunk too much and her mind was not clear, she only needed to say "Okay, but I will tell Lulu" to produce a fatal effect.
I told Lulu that you wanted me to call you brother!
Unfortunately, due to these two reasons, this method is destined not to be an option for her.
At this moment, the business car slowly stopped by the roadside.
Shen Qingning glanced out the window and saw that she had already arrived at her neighborhood.
The two of them hardly spoke in the car before. Cheng Zhu deliberately created a silent atmosphere, which took a lot of time.
But the driver Xiao Wang had never taken Shen Qingning home, and Cheng Zhu had just told him the name of the community.
There are two entrances to the community, and he doesn't know which one to enter.
He didn't even know how many villas the Shen family had.
Therefore, the car temporarily stopped on the side of the road.
"I'm home." Shen Qingning breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to slip away.
She stood up and pressed the switch of the partition between the front and rear seats of the car, causing the middle part of the partition to slowly drop down. Xiao Wang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, turned his head and looked at Cheng Zhu.
He thought the boss was going to tell him how many buildings there were.
As a result, when Xiao Wang was about to ask, Cheng Zhu directly said: "Xiao Wang, please buy me a pack of cigarettes, Hailey."
"Uh." Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment, glanced out the window, and then immediately said, "Okay."
He didn't know for a moment if there was a convenience store or supermarket nearby.
But the position of driver is always special. Xiao Wang is a person carefully selected by Cheng Zhu. He is sensible, perceptive and tight-lipped.
He got off the car immediately, then looked around in confusion, knowing that he didn't need to rush back, as his boss probably had something else to discuss.
Xiao Wang had actually seen the rumors about the two of them on the Internet, and he also knew that everyone in the company was gossiping about their relationship.
But he knew what to be curious about and what not to be curious about.
Xiao Wang himself is also very clear about the special nature of the position of driver, and if he does well in this aspect, he will have the opportunity to become the boss's confidant.
This guy started his own business when he was just a freshman in college and his net worth is over 100 million!
The person who just had lunch with the boss is the founder of Dianping and Are You Hungry?, and each of their companies is valued at tens of billions!
You must hold on to a golden thigh like Mr. Cheng.
Who knows what his future limits will be?
"For workers, there may only be a few turning points in life, and only a few noble people will be met."
"If you miss it, it's gone!"
Xiao Wang stood in the darkness, not knowing where to buy cigarettes, but he tactfully walked away first.
As he walked, he suddenly felt that he should just run.
"Although I think the boss is probably looking for an excuse to get me to stay away, I'd better buy the cigarettes back!"
Just like that, he began to run wildly beside the wall of the high-end residential area in the night.
In the business car, Shen Qingning was really glaring at Cheng Zhu.
"I'm home," she repeated.
No, don't stop here, I want to run away! Let me run away!
Chen Qingning looked through the car window on the other side and took a look at the night view outside.
For her, although she was a little dizzy from drinking too much, she was not so drunk that she had no memory, so it was not impossible for her to walk in by herself.
"Of course I know you're home. I know where your home is." Cheng Zhu replied.
The night her first kiss was taken away was also the night Cheng Zhu sent her home.
“I’m leaving.” Shen Qingning started to get her bag.
As a result, she heard the sound of a car locking, and Cheng Zhu pressed the car lock button.
This actually didn't help because she could unlock the door from her side as well and the car door couldn't lock her.
This is just conveying an attitude.
The key point is that when the atmosphere is delicate, actions are far more powerful and touching than words.
At this time, shouting "Don't go" or "You are not allowed to go" would be a bit meaningless.
Shen Qingning, who had already picked up her bag, frowned again and looked up at Cheng Zhu.
She didn't know how many times she had frowned tonight.
"Tsk, someone is trying to cheat, how dare you call me a scoundrel?" Cheng Zhu finished speaking, and then started to say, "Tsk, tsk, tsk."
"When Wang Xin came to our company, did he hint to you something, so you guessed that he would go to find Penguin?" Shen Qingning did not respond and adopted a roundabout way to save the country.
"That's not true. Unfortunately, there is no surveillance camera in my office, otherwise I would have adjusted it for you." Cheng Zhu shrugged indifferently.
The reborn person said shamelessly: "As for me, I rely on my brain."
But in fact, it is also because he and Wang Xin have some similar personalities in their careers.
If it were him, he would choose to do the same.
If Ali wanted to sacrifice him, he would directly say in his heart: "Then...rebellion!"
Rebellion! Rebellion!
He has his own ambitions, and does not want to be dominated, let alone sacrificed.
In this crucial period of the finals, he would rather give it a try, and at worst he can just take a break!
All I want is to have no regrets when I recall it in the future!
With this thought, he still looked at Shen Qingning and said, "Anyway, if it were me, I would do the same. I would not retreat at the critical moment, not even a step."
After he finished speaking, he stared into her eyes, as if he was taking advantage of the alcohol to make a double entendre with a hint of meaning.
Being smart as she is, she can naturally sense something.
This made the proud girl open her mouth, but nothing came out.
Take a step back at a critical moment?
She didn't even know how many steps she had taken back.
The atmosphere in the car became a little subtle again at this moment.
If the silence along the way before made her feel a little irritated, then the current silence made her feel a little painful.
Shen Qingning didn't know if it was her illusion.
She vaguely felt that Cheng Zhu's eyes changed after he said that just now.
No longer as playful as before, with a smile in his eyes.
There seemed to be dissatisfaction in his eyes.
There is a little bit of desire to look back on past emotional accounts.
She avoided Cheng Zhu's gaze and suddenly felt that the alcohol was getting stronger and she was feeling more dizzy.
The atmosphere in the business car and the other person's eyes made her uncomfortable. She even felt a little depressed in the air-conditioned car and had difficulty breathing.
"I'm leaving. I'm a little drunk." She unlocked the car door.
Cheng Zhu looked at her and said something very crucial and amazing, which became the turning point of everything.
"It's going to be like this again, right?" The dissatisfaction and unhappiness in his tone began to become extremely direct, without any hiding.
At this moment, he seemed to be drunk, and the tone of his speech was a bit like that of a drunk person.
“I” Shen Qingning opened her mouth, but the words got stuck in her throat.
Cheng Zhu's voice made her even more dizzy.
All the events of the past flooded into my mind in an instant.
For a moment, her emotions became complicated.
"Okay, go ahead if you want to go." Cheng Zhu stared at her and said.
The car door was clearly unlocked, but Cheng Zhu pressed the unlock button again.
But Shen Qingning didn't move this time.
At this moment, she was very confused.
For some reason, besides feeling uncomfortable, she also began to feel a little aggrieved.
No matter what, you are already Lulu's boyfriend now.
Seeing that she didn't leave, Cheng Zhu mocked her, "Who was the one who repeatedly emphasized in the car that he wasn't drunk just now? Now you're saying you're drunk and want to leave?"
Seeing this, Shen Qingning already felt that the situation seemed to be developing in another direction.
The problem now seems to be no longer a simple bet.
It's about the past emotional issues that the two of them have never explained to each other clearly, never talked about, and never addressed!
This has always been a thorn in Shen Qingning's heart.
In fact, she had the urge several times to go find him and talk things out.
Especially when Jay Chou was on his world tour some time ago, Cheng Zhu kept sending him concert tickets.
During this period, he didn't know whether it was because the tour stops were abroad or because he didn't go every time. He went to see the concerts alone several times, so he didn't continue to send tickets.
Every time she received a cash on delivery, she wanted to ask him, "What do you mean?"
Sometimes, this is how emotional problems between people are.
Some situations will gradually pass with the passage of time.
In some cases, it will be instantly triggered at some special nodes.
But Shen Qingning didn't want to chat now, didn't want the two of them to seem to be drunk now, and then chat drunkenly.
Men care about results, while women care about process.
Even at this moment, because of the hardships she had gone through along the way and the sudden surge of emotions, she really felt a little dizzy and drunk, and the effect of the alcohol was getting worse even faster.
Her thoughts began to become unclear, and her head and body felt extremely heavy.
The remaining rationality told her that everyone was not in a good mood right now, and it was easy to talk about such a sensitive topic and end up with a terrible result.
Her thinking was a little slow, and the only solution she could come up with was to change the subject.
It would be better to bring the topic back to the bet.
"I felt really dizzy," she said.
"And when we made the bet, we didn't talk about a deadline. We only agreed on the stakes, but didn't say when we would fulfill it, right?" she added, with a hint of dishonesty and a hint of questioning.
Don't mention it, hasn't Shen Qingning been paying close attention to Cheng Zhu's chat skills and chat rhythm these days?
She really learned a lot.
Under normal circumstances, if facing ordinary people, the topic would be brought back immediately.
It's like when you're arguing with someone, once you feel you can't win the argument or don't want to argue anymore, you can deliberately bring up another point and provoke him in that regard, and the content of the argument will naturally change.
This can actually be used in business as well and is also a skill.
The downside of having a smart woman around is that she progresses too quickly!
Cheng Zhu was stunned for a moment, took the bait deliberately, and then he began to laugh out of anger.
He laughed in anger: "Is this the way to do it? Shen Qingning."
"That's right." The cold girl's voice became even colder, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
She was really wondering why the driver Xiao Wang hadn't come back yet. There was no place to buy cigarettes nearby!
Little Wang, who was so eager to make progress, had already jogged to another street. He used the navigation on his mobile phone to actually find a place to buy cigarettes and was now helping the boss pay for the cigarettes.
Xiao Wang was out of breath and thought that he could walk back slowly later.
At this moment, Shen Qingning looked at Cheng Zhu, who seemed to be drunk and very angry, and heard him repeat: "Do it this way!"
"I'm leaving. I'll walk in by myself." She felt her body a little heavy, but she still forced herself to get up and opened the car door.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zhu's big hand suddenly reached out and pressed on the armrest of her seat.
Then, although there was an electric door opening and closing button, he supported himself on the armrest of the seat with one hand, then leaned forward, and with the other hand, he grabbed the door on Shen Qingning's side and slammed it shut.
"Don't try to cheat!"
“You drank too much, let Xiao Wang drive the car to the basement.” He looked down at Shen Qingning and added.
But now he had one hand on the armrest of Shen Qingning's seat and the other on the car door, which meant that his entire body was in front of her, trapping her in the chair.
But she was a little frightened just now, so much so that she grabbed his clothes with her hands.
The two looked into each other's eyes, so close that they could almost feel each other's drunken breath.
Everything that had happened to them in the car in the past exploded in their minds at this moment!
The atmosphere seemed to be suddenly pulled back to the past.
For a moment, both of them felt that the car was a little hot.
The engine was clearly on and the air conditioner was on, but it was still hot!
The increasingly charming atmosphere made Ningning feel even more exhausted.
But she suddenly exerted force with her hands that were holding Cheng Zhu's clothes, and then slowly released them.
The dog man just kept looking at her, his Adam's apple moving slightly.
She felt as if she was in a very contradictory state, her body felt soft and yet tense.
A certain scumbag began to lean forward slowly, but the movement was very slight, just a little bit forward.
But it's like sending a signal to each other.
This is how the kiss between men and women begins in a narrow space.
This made Shen Qingning panic all of a sudden.
She suddenly grabbed Cheng Zhu's clothes again with her loosened hands, and then gently supported his body.
The pair of beautiful eyes that were meeting Cheng Zhu's gaze slightly shifted away at this moment and no longer looked at him.
Then, as if begging for mercy, and also as if putting an end to everything today, she uttered a voice with a slight tremor:
"elder brother."
(ps: Asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month! It will expire soon!)
