Fireworks +25
Following Xu Liang's instructions, Qi Yu went to the apartment he was already familiar with.
Heo Kyung said the USB drive was on the desk.
But apart from a thick anatomy textbook, Qi Yu didn't see anything else.
Qi Yu was slightly stunned——
It's been so many years since you graduated, and you still have textbooks on your desk?
Heo Kyung's textbook was in good condition, neatly arranged. He picked it up casually, and the thick pages slipped across his fingers, and the textbook automatically stopped at the page in the interlayer.
The USB drive is just there.
Qi Yu curled his lips and put the USB drive into his pocket.
But before he closed the book, he noticed a crooked postcard sandwiched in the same layer as the USB drive.
Because the textbook is thick and the knowledge points in the book are complicated and numerous, this page happens to be the key part. When reading, they usually mark it, either by folding the corner of the page or putting a bookmark inside to make it easier to find the knowledge points.
Qi Yu originally just wanted to take out the postcard and put it back, but the moment he picked up the postcard, the book in his hand almost fell.
He quickly turned the postcard over, and after seeing the photo in the upper left corner and the few lines of text next to it, his pupils shrank and the hand holding the postcard trembled slightly.
Those lines of words seemed like obscure ancient characters. Qi Yu read them over and over again, but he didn't know if he understood them.
It was not until the wind blew in from the window and the corners of his eyes were slightly dry from the cold air that he put the postcard back, closed the book, and put it back in its place neatly.
On a long road full of neon lights, a black Mercedes that was supposed to go straight home suddenly turned and drove to the other side of the city.
…
Xu Liang waited at home for a long time.
She originally thought Qi Yu would be home at most half an hour late.
But after waiting for forty minutes without any result, she went straight to the study to continue perfecting the retirement plan that integrated humanities and technology.
Xu Liang deleted and revised a lot of what he said to Qi Yu.
Soon, his attention was completely drawn to the plan, and Xu Liang didn't even notice how long he had been waiting.
Xu Liang finally stopped what he was doing until his stomach growled several times and he was so hungry.
I looked at the time, it was almost half past seven.
Xu Liang pursed his lips and thought: Could it be that he was too excited after seeing that thing?
But it shouldn’t be that...
Qi Yu should...
Xu Liang was halfway through his thought when he lost his mind again.
If it was the Qi Yu she knew now, it was possible that he was overly excited.
Just as Xu Liang was about to call him, the door was opened from the outside.
However, the first person Xu Liang saw was not Qi Yu, but the one he held in his hands...
A big bouquet of flowers.
The words "You're back" were instantly stuck on his lips. Xu Liang stood there in a daze, his hands hanging in the air, and the corners of his mouth tightened.
He poked his head out from behind the bright red Ecuadorian roses and handed the flowers to her without even changing his shoes.
The cedar scent on his body drifted over together with the fragrance of roses, and Xu Liang's outstretched hand naturally took it.
Still a bit heavy.
A quick glance shows there should be 99 flowers?
Xu Jing saw the ribbon tied around the bouquet and was slightly surprised: "Did you buy these flowers especially for me?"
Xu Liang walked to the entrance holding the flowers. Qi Yu paused when he saw him changing his shoes. He pursed his lips, not looking up. He spoke a little slower, his voice lower than usual: "I passed by and thought it looked beautiful. The red roses suit you very well, so I bought them."
Xu Liang didn't believe it.
Not to mention whether there are enough flower goods at this late hour, just looking at the brand you can tell that he went there specifically to buy them.
After all, the Fauvism movement wasn't on the route to their apartment.
Xu Liang felt a faint desire to compete, and followed his words, saying "Oh" with a long tail sound. His beautiful eyebrows raised inadvertently, and he bent his legs slightly, placing the flowers on the soft stool beside him.
“Is that so…” Xu Liang deliberately lowered his tone and simply withdrew his hand: “Since Mr. Qi didn’t buy it specifically for me, I won’t accept it.”
Xu Liang put his hands behind his back, trying hard to suppress the corners of his mouth that wanted to turn up.
He likes being a ninja, so she will be a ninja with him.
It was clearly a large bunch of carefully selected Ecuadorian Explorers, wasn’t it tailor-made for her?
He knew that she would definitely be able to recognize it from her roses, but he refused to tell her. She insisted that he tell her.
“…”
Qi Yu turned his head and looked at the bouquet, hesitating for a moment.
Xu Liang continued to stare at him, but his feet were moving back, slowly distanced from him.
The curve of his mouth corners could hardly be suppressed, and his eyebrows trembled upwards with excitement.
The two of them faced each other silently, and the smile in Xu Liang's eyes became more and more intense.
Before she was about to retreat and turn around, Qi Yu quickly picked up the bouquet of flowers again, took a few steps, and quickly shortened the extra distance. The fragrance of roses filled her nose again, bringing a sense of comfort to her heart and causing her brain to quickly secrete dopamine.
Xu Liang couldn't hide his smile at all.
At the same time, Qi Yu also spoke: "Yes, I bought these flowers specially for you. If you don't accept them, these flowers will be meaningless."
His tone sounded calm, but his red ears had already betrayed him.
Xu Kyung laughed out loud.
She took the flower again, sniffed it fiercely, and then moved closer to Qi Yu, teasing him deliberately: "Ah Yu, next time if you want to be patient and trick me, you'd better choose an ordinary flower shop. This Fauvist ribbon is too obvious, it's hard for me not to notice it."
“…”
As soon as Xu Liang finished speaking, Qi Yu's face turned red.
"Also," Heo Kyung added, "Next time you'd better choose a different variety of flowers. I've almost figured out all the roses. Ecuadorian ones are so special."
“…”
The blush on his face spread to his neck unconsciously. Qi Yu kept clearing his throat, but it had little effect.
Xu Liang's eyebrows were curved like crescent moons, and his bright and clear eyes were half happy and half teasing. He wanted to make a few more jokes, but his waist was suddenly held by a pair of big hands.
The temperature was transmitted quickly through two layers of clothes. Xu Liang's throat tightened, and his free hand reflexively grabbed the corner of Qi Yu's clothes. The smugness on the corner of his mouth disappeared in an instant, and he pursed his lips quietly.
Qi Yu lowered his eyes, and it was clearly just an ordinary glance, but it made Xu Liang feel a little guilty.
After feeling guilty, I began to have some expectations.
He...should have seen it, right?
The next second, the lips that had made her unable to control herself several times opened and closed quickly, and she heard him say, "Okay, next time, I will definitely not let Mr. Xu see through me, how about that?"
The crescent moon that was originally curved became round again, and the bright eyes flickered gently. Xu Liang always felt that there was something else behind his words.
Did he know anything?
So, does she take the initiative to compromise... or wait for him to speak first?
The two pairs of eyes naturally stuck together again, in a silent contest.
Xu Jing feels that love can be quite draining at times.
Unlike her career, where she can hit the target with precision, love always requires her to spend her time guessing and pondering.
She actually wanted to have a simple relationship, but when she and Qi Yu collided, there would always be an invisible force bursting out. Once this force came out, no reason would work, and she just couldn't control herself from playing games and competing with him.
She was unwilling to give in quickly, but was also very anxious. She would wait until the feeling reached its peak before deciding whether to continue to insist or to give in.
This feeling consumed her mind countless times, yet also made her yearn for it countless times.
Unconsciously, my thoughts drifted away.
The two gods were nearly sucked into Qi Yu's fiery flames.
The hand gripping the hem of his shirt subconsciously tightened, and Xu Liang thought he needed to back down. Suddenly, Qi Yu took a deep breath, his shoulders noticeably relaxed, and his aura vanished. He suddenly smiled, "But I'm not so sure. Just see through it. There's nothing wrong with that."
Qi Yu poured the tail end of his words into Xu Liang's warm mouth.
Lingering and tossing.
Qi Yu pressed his thumb in front of her ear, passed his palm under her ear, clasped the back of her head, and transferred all the rising heat to her.
This kiss that wanted to go deeper didn't last long.
When the love was half-baked, a few awkward sounds of hunger broke the ambiguous atmosphere.
Qi Yu let her go.
There was a hint of confusion in their still lucid eyes. The two looked at each other, and Xu Jing shrugged innocently: "You came back too late, I'm so hungry, this is not my fault."
There was silence for two seconds, and then laughter broke out at the same time.
Qi Yu nodded: "My fault."
However, Qi Yu had already considered the issue of dinner for the two of them on the way and ordered takeout in advance. Only then did he put the roses away, and dinner had already arrived.
Although Xu Liang was hungry, he didn't eat quickly.
She is waiting.
Wait for him to speak.
Waiting for him to jump into the 'trap' she dug with her own hands.
However, Qi Yu was surprisingly quiet.
Apart from picking up food for her, he just kept eating without saying a word.
Dinner was almost over, and Xu Liang finally became a little anxious.
Didn't he see it?
That shouldn't be the case. She'd never moved the postcard from that spot, and she'd clearly confirmed that the USB drive was stuck on that page...
He must have seen it.
Then why didn't he say a word?
He also wanted her to take the initiative? But compared to his secrets, her secrets were really not worth mentioning.
After struggling for a while, Xu Liang still couldn't bear it as much as Qi Yu: "Ayu."
Qi Yu didn't stop what he was doing, and tilted his head slightly: "Hmm?"
"You...just bought flowers? Don't you have anything to say?"
Hearing this, Qi Yu seemed to be thinking seriously, and then nodded: "Yes, I have something to say."
Xu Liang's anticipation returned, his spirits rising. A smile played on his face, and he spoke with a hint of excitement, "You tell me!"
The emotions continued to rise and were about to reach the peak. Xu Liang's smile became more and more obvious. Just when he was waiting to use the momentum to cross the peak, he was suddenly splashed with a basin of cold water.
"How's the plan going?"
“…Ah?” Xu Liang’s smile froze at the corners of his mouth, and his apple cheeks twitched unconsciously.
Qi Yu continued, "I mentioned my willingness to cooperate with Chairman Li, and he said that if the proposal can convince the entire board of directors, he would agree to it. I think it would be more appropriate for us to do it together."
His topic was completely unrelated to what she had expected. Xu Liang was about to ask further questions when Qi Yu beat her to the punch: "If this plan is finalized, does it also mean that our relationship will take a step forward?"
