I took a deep breath of the fresh morning air in the garden. The air in early autumn was dry and cool, and it made me feel refreshed when I breathed it into my lungs. At this time, I saw Cui Yingying parking her car in the parking space.
Last night, under the lights, I didn't notice how fair her skin was. Now, under the warm and bright sunlight, her skin was like a Dehua white porcelain vase, as white as cream and as moist as ice and snow, emitting a soft and dazzling light.
She parked the car, looked up and saw me, and waved to me from a distance. I waved back as a response to her greeting.
She walked closer and asked with concern, "Did Director Guan have a good rest?"
I replied casually: "It's okay, I've been suffering from neurasthenia for some time."
She smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, you don't look like you have neurasthenia. Director Guan, why don't you try the Daoyin method in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine?"
I smiled and said jokingly, "I really don't know the guiding method in the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine, but I do know a thing or two about the sexual techniques in it."
Her face instantly turned red, and she lowered her head and said softly, "Director Guan is joking. Those things have no scientific basis."
Her words betrayed that she had certainly studied this part carefully. She read my expression and thought I wanted to discuss this topic further, so she said eagerly, "I'm going to see General Lin first, so I won't accompany you for long."
I held out my hand to block her way and said, "Your CEO Lin is in a bad mood and hasn't gotten up yet. Don't get into trouble."
She asked in surprise, "She was in a good mood when I left last night, why...?" She glanced at me, her eyes seemed to imply that it was me who made Lin Xun in a bad mood.
I waved my hands and explained, "It has nothing to do with me. She just drank too much and was emotionally moved by the scene. She is sad and depressed."
She smiled with her lips pursed, obviously not believing what I said.
I said, "If you have nothing else to do, please walk with me."
She didn't answer, but walked with me in the garden.
She asked curiously, "How did Director Guan, who is so young, gather elites like General Manager Lin and General Manager Yu around him and make them obey your orders?"
I smiled and asked, "Do you need an answer?"
She looked at me with a passionate and admiring gaze and said seriously, "If Director Guan is willing to tell me, please feel free to give me some advice."
I laughed and said in a relaxed tone: "It's not that surprising. It's actually very simple - as long as you treat your friends sincerely, you will naturally have more and more friends."
She stopped, stared at me with her fiery eyes, and asked seriously: "So now, if I treat you sincerely, can I become your friend?"
I stopped and shook my head, saying, "You are not sincere. If you were sincere, you wouldn't call me 'Director Guan' and wouldn't use honorifics to address me."
She covered her mouth and laughed happily: "Okay, Guan Hongjun, you can treat me as a friend now, right?"
I didn't answer, I just stared at her. Looking at her brilliant smile and feeling the vitality around her, I actually felt a little palpitated. Although this feeling was fleeting, it was the only time I had such a feeling since Qingwan passed away.
She noticed my gaze, raised her head, and looked at me without any hesitation, without a trace of fear in her eyes. I stared at her blankly for a few seconds before I realized my mistake and quickly looked away.
Just when I was feeling a little embarrassed, my aunt called out to help me understand the situation: "Director Guan, Secretary Cui, General Manager Lin has packed up and is ready to go!"
I waved my hand to indicate that I understood, and glanced at my watch. It was not yet nine o'clock.
The flight was scheduled for 1:00 am, but it left so early. I couldn't figure out what Lin Mushroom's motive was.
When I returned to the room, I saw Wang Yanshu sitting leisurely on the sofa with a schadenfreude smile on his face.
I glanced at her coldly and quickly went upstairs to get my own luggage.
As soon as I stepped into the room, the door behind me made a sound and then closed with a bang.
I was surprised and was about to turn around to investigate, but my ear was suddenly pinched hard. A sharp pain came over me. I couldn't help but grit my teeth and yell, "It hurts... It hurts so much..."
Lin Xun gritted his teeth behind me and said, "Guan Hongjun, you and Cui Yingying were flirting in the garden early in the morning. Believe it or not, I will let her go immediately."
I finally managed to escape her clutches. I rubbed my burning ears and retorted, "Why don't you eat so early and come here to get jealous? Are you a little girl? Jealousy makes you so vicious."
She suddenly burst into laughter: "Guan Hongjun, am I that unbearable?"
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. I was very nervous about her series of emotional changes.
She came up to me, gently rubbed my ears, and apologized softly: "I was a little too rough, I'm sorry."
I shook off her hand, picked up my suitcase and was about to go out angrily.
She said sourly behind his back: "It turns out that you are not Liu Hui, you are just waiting for a wild cat that can call for sex."
I thought to myself that maybe Lin Mushroom was going crazy from being tortured by his frustration.
Cui Yingying was at the steering wheel, Lin Xun was sitting in the passenger seat, and Wang Yanshu and I were sitting side by side in the back seat, I on the left and she on the right.
As the car slowly drove out of the shaded path and onto the brighter road, the light inside the car became a little brighter.
